I got a clergy member too. Found that pretty funny since I was full on angsthiest. Didn't get anything computer related. Then again standardized tests are never good and are just the equivalent to the Netflix like dislike ratio in usefulness for determining quality.

I took a bunch of those and they suggested me for accelerated classes, especially since when we moved to PA, I literally was learning in 4th grade what I learned in 3rd grade in Jersey in every subject (same books in a few cases). I begged my parents to let me do it, then found out later they didn't let me as a punishment for not having friends and not doing the homework because it was two years in a row of the same assignments. The way things worked out for me make a lot more sense as time goes by.

I can empathize as I moved a lot as a kid and had the same History book three years in a row.

Plan Z posted:Wow that thing is kind of exemplary of what's wrong with most of modern Simpsons writing. At first, you think maybe it's mocking the idea of resurrecting celebrities for our amusement, maybe it's a rip on the soullessness of the tech industry. But then there's an attempt at shock humor that's not all that shocking and the slow, stilted delivery takes out any possible bite. The joke goes on way too long and overstays its welcome with lots of post-script and the comedy was also nonstop. just constant jokes of all kinds, with great pacing. I miss that kind of art

One of my favorite recurring gags on early Simpsons was Bart fantasizing about some god awful future for himself and thinking it was cool.

Decided to stream the most recent episode because I hate myself. Homer gets fired from the plant (again) and gets hired at a tech startup that makes self driving cars that also listen to you and collect data like smart devices. Cue every single “old man yells at cloud” joke about tech startups and their work environments, millennials and their addiction to technology, and how all this technology is definitely evil and has no positive benefits. Homer teams up with Mr. Burns and Smithers, posing as 20-somethings, to take down the company somehow I forgot and it doesn’t matter. In the first five minutes or so there are at least two “Homer sings a random song” jokes. I have no idea why they keep using these.

I was watching the Stan Lee cameo from Simpsons from several years ago. I have vague memories of people dislike his cameo years ago as not having any reason for being there, but Stan feels perfectly 'Springfield' in those scenes. Someone was talking about how celebrities as themselves or as characters are treated with a higher degree of esteem in the show in recent years, but Stan's whole portrayal feels like it's that right mix of reverent and ridiculing that makes him feel a bit like he's not just a celebrity guest but a real character in the show.

Plan Z posted:I guess one of the better parts of early Simpsons satire/parody is that it was never so specific. It wasn't always "Let's go to the Mapple store. Wow, it's Meve Mobs. Meve, will you sign my MyPod? Wow, Meve, why are you saying lines that are poorly-hidden criticisms of you, your business, and products? Well, back to Springfield characters doing Apple gags for a few minutes." Like here's the bit on standardized testing: Argh gently caress this is an actual thing.

The Stan one had some good jokes, some bad jokes. They don't start getting real good until you get past the "bizarro world" line, but Stan rearranging comics, jamming The Thing into the batmobile, the "mint condition" line, and Stan trying to Hulk out are all good bits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVYYpECTuvM TheMostFrench posted:Argh gently caress this is an actual thing. Holy poo poo no joke I never actually saw any of the Mapple episode. I only knew they did the word Mapple, and made everything else up. I'm not screwing with you.

I think they call him Steve Mobs, but everything else is exactly as you described it. Lisa gets a MyPod and bankrupts herself buying tunes, and she gets the ol' tough titties from Mobs because no corporation can afford to respect their customers and yadda yadda, and then she... starts working at the Mapple store? I forget if I saw the whole episode or just the Steve Mobs smash cut.

Iron Crowned posted:Do they even have running gags like this anymore? I guess there just isn't enough time for garbage like character development these days. Nah. Sometimes they bring back old ones. Like last week had a Moe prank call, and I think they've done a "Your life's goal was to ..." recently too. This is something I've thought that helps elevate American Dad even though it's starting to get old as hell too. They still cook up new recurring characters and gags, and it makes the show feel more alive.

The guy here posting episode descriptions had me curious and looking through the different seasons to see when those descriptions really start getting lovely, then noticed that the Simpsons, along with South Park and King of the Hill (order of air date went Hill then Simpsons then South Park) all had episodes where characters were fraudulently diagnosed with ADD in a way that made ADD itself seem like a scam. The lesson usually just boiled down to "Kids are just energetic and you're turning them into zombie mind slaves." I remember a bunch of other shows doing basically the same plot, making the "brainless zombie follower" jabs a bit ironic.

Season 3 really picks up after they run through the holdovers from season 2, which is weird because the last few episodes that aired in season 2 are the best of that season. There are a ton of running gags throughout season 3 and clever callbacks to previous episodes in the season, like when Santa's Little Helper runs away and they put up posters, they cover up a poster of Skinner that had gone up during the episode Bart worked for the mob. Subtle little things like that really make the show feel alive.

Matt and Trey have always had awful opinions on everything, its especially apparent they're rich white guys whenever race comes up. The "hate crimes aren't different than other crimes because all crimes have hate behind them" episode is one of the worst. Having terrible opinions goes hand in hand with being a libertarian.
