The line that will always make me laugh out loud no matter what is when Troy McClure finishes off his Foundation Repair bit with "Now parch the lathe!" That was such a good back and forth bit.

Frog Act posted:In an earlier episode where they tell the story of grandpa giving Homer money for the house (by selling the house he built after he tries to give Homer cash, but it’s stolen by a bird) Marge is pregnant with Bart at the wedding Who could actually ever care about that and see it as a plot hole?

Of course, there was also the episode where Homer and Marge were living in an apartment until Lisa was born. ...and then also the episode where Homer and Marge were already living in their house before Bart was even born...

After a long day of napping at work, Homer heads to Moe's. The Happy Hour beer, normally $3, is now $3.25. Homer complains, saying he only has the usual $3 (which he demonstrates by pulling his shoe off and dumping three waded bills on the counter). Moe says it's because the city passed a new sales tax. Upset and sober, Homer decides he's going to repeal the new sales tax so he can enjoy his cheap beer again. He tells his plan to the family at dinner, to which Lisa volunteers to be his campaign manager. The next day, Homer and Lisa have scheduled their campaign announcement at Moe's. No one turns up except for Kirk Van Houten (who is just there for the free Happy Hour wings that Moe lets slip are just friends rats). Upset that no one showed up, Homer goes on a Twitter rant, attacking local celebrities and media. This creates some minor buzz, resulting in a few more people at the next campaign stop (the Kwik-E-Mart). Put off by the actual physical work required to campaign, Homer decides that poo poo posting from the couch is a winning strategy. He spends the rest of the episode poo poo posting and watching ALF reruns as Lisa begs him to stop and run a more traditional campaign. Meanwhile, Marge becomes convinced that she can use Homer's position on the city council to advance her own agenda of cleaning and greening up Springfield. She becomes paranoid that other people are working to bring her and Homer down. With Bart helping her, they hatch a plan to use Ned's naivety to dig into what the townspeople are up to and find out who the real enemies are. Ultimately Homer's poo poo posting causes him to win in a landslide. Marge's activities come to light due to Ned keeping extensive notes and sharing them with Kent Brockman. Homer is forced to resign before even taking office. He ends up outside Moe's, dancing for quarters to afford his beer.

Frog Act posted:Yeah it comes on a stream I watch from time to time and I always have to change it, because its just such so unfathomably bad. the whole cast as dogs singing off key. the hideous 2008 era animation. baffling violence and aggression between homer dog and marge dog. lovely references to other movies instead of jokes. The dog part sucks, but who decided on the love story parody of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen? Ending with them lovingly deciding to go and get wasted (on chocolate) in a hotel room.

Question: Imagine you have the ability to do Hank Azaria or Juile Kavners voices. Fox contacts you and offers a contact for 300K per episode for the next 25 seasons or more. You may phone in the voice work literally. Would you accept the offer or save the simpsons? Personally I would take 300K for an hour of work a week the rest of my life. Hence why the simpsons will go on until one of those voice actors die.

They'd have a base salary of like 65k and then be given a condition where their pay can drop if the ratings go down. And then that's the excuse used to take it out back. We really tried, but the new voices weren't what fans wanted so

SirPablo posted:It turned into an immigration episode. immigration was what was blamed for the high taxes in the first place since we're on the subject, two things: - the tax message was a tad muddled because on the one hand, the show's mocking people who are anti-tax even though it was literally the lowest tax hike in history. on the other hand though, the bear patrol, which was supposed to be a reference to the pentagon, was also one of the cheapest (if not THE cheapest) agency ever created, as opposed to how ridiculously bloated the pentagon actually is. - like many episodes, i wound up appreciating it even more when i got older and realized that cities don't actually have the power to deport people

either the show is ham-handed or overly subtle in communicating political messages, so as far as unpolitics go it's as bad as south park *constant slams on the clintons* *zero mention of george bush in an eight year presidency* who is worse politics man????
