Ned is 60, Krusty is 52My Linux Rig posted:What was your favorite episode from the last season "Homer is Where the Art Isn't", which is an 80's detective procedural called "Manachek" where Homer becomes the main suspect for a PI investigating an art heist.

https://twitter.com/Joshstrangehill/status/1110286917138944000 Posted this in the meme thread earlier by mistake. Weird poo poo, a couple of half decent lines and I think we can all agree Australia should be destroyed. Any Aus goons ever go to Fox Studios? I seem to vaguely remember it existing.

I remember being a kid and loving the Simpsons and then seeing the Mark Hopus episode with blink 182, and being inexplicably angry. I was 12 then. that was for sure the worst episode up until then and the Simpsons has been downhill ever since. I see people claim the new york episode was bad, but imo in the end with garbage slamming into Homer's face that poo poo was hilarious.

My "turning point" episode when the show soured for me was the one where Homer was a missionary, though looking back it was actually really good compared to modern episodes.

For me it was the one where they go to Africa. It was funny the first time I watched it, then they started doing their scheduling trickery so it seemed like it was on once a month. Then, the local syndication caught up with the current season and a couple weeks later it was on again, followed by the summer reruns

I knew nothing about The Prisoner at the time and was just left asking myself, "What the hell did I just watch?" A classmate had a dad into classic TV and explained to me what it was about so I guess I appreciate the experimental nature of the episode. Since then, it's grown on me like a Puddle of Mudd album left in your car by a friend that you keep listening to because you never remember to bring out another CD.

There’s an episode where he opens either his 500th or 1000th Krusty Burger, but in any case Krusty just doesn’t make any sense. No where in human history has a daytime cable access clown show ever topped ratings, and if Krusty were a national show he’d have to produce it from NYC or LA. He lives in a mansion with a private plane and Itchy & Scratchy, which seemingly Krusty exists as the soul gatekeeper or despite it being owned and operated by a giant corporation with their own private Island amusement park. Like a subsidiary cartoon on this cable access clown shoe has private island Disney money but the live studio audience is barely 50 people? I know I’m sounding like Comic Book Guy but I never applied brain power to The Simpson’s before and I’m just now realizing that nothing about Krusty or Itchy & Scratchy make any sense (unless Krusty is a stand in for Tracy Ulman, then it starts to work) Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Mar 26, 2019 |

Ned's big yellow swinging dong, besides being an excellent band name, is hilarious precisely because they hadn't quite delved into that kind of quasi- Family Guy shock humor that it's infested with today. Throw it in with the current gen episode and I'm right there groaning with you.

Krusty represents showbiz personalities in general, and his exact circumstances will flex to fit the storyline he's required in. It's similar to how you can't really pin down how rich the Simpsons are meant to be.

He's a TV clown because Groening was a fan of a TV clown called Rusty Nails.

Yesterday at work I overheard some people talking in the break room. I didn’t catch everything, but they were talking about sunday’s episode. One of them said something along the lines of “Simpsons is like Family Guy, it’s not amazing but it’s good to leave on in the background, and you’ll probably get a good laugh or two.” So that’s the answer to “who is still even watching?” - people who just want background noise and remember the show from their childhood as being funny.

It's similar to how you can't really pin down how rich the Simpsons are meant to be. Krusty also represents the local celebrity. Everywhere has someone, even if they make no sense whatsoever. Krusty Burger represents a local food chain, it just happens to be tied into the local celebrity. Razorwired posted:He's a TV clown because Groening was a fan of a TV clown called Rusty Nails. TV clowns were really prevalent at one point, it seems like every market had one locally. I know I did in the late 80's and early 90's, it was basically exactly the way that Krusty's show is portrayed, except Itchy and Scratchy was always something like Wacky Races. Krusty's show was something that was ubiquitous once, I suspect that Gabbo was also at some point. CodfishCartographer posted:So that’s the answer to “who is still even watching?” - people who just want background noise and remember the show from their childhood as being funny. That's what sub-channels are for, need some background noise for an hour or so, MeTV's got Mama's Family and The Jeffersons back to back!

The cringiest part is where they have the argument with their "beer" (comedy) being the same and that it provides the livelihood for their "towns" (shows) and "families" (employees) and how both can exist. Then you look up that the simpsons voice actors are being paid 300K an episode and you quickly stop caring about their "livelihoods"

Krusty's been inconsistent since the start, but the inconsistencies piled up even higher when they lost Troy McClure and the Krusty character had to carry an even wider array of showbiz tropes.

Krusty’s delivery of “let’s just say it moved me... INTO A BIGGER HOUSE!” *oh crap I said the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud* is only eclipsed by Krusty lighting a cigarette off of a burning pearl necklace.

Calaveron posted:Everything is shaded with consistent light sources but the characters themselves and it looks supremely ugly. Like either go all the way or don't, you can't have it both ways I mentioned this way back but super agreed. There's like nothing for the action to pop out against because everything is just the same color intensity (I don't know a better word). Watched the Megan Amram episode and it's still bad. It's a hot take on gender-flipping characters. The topical jokes are as predictable as you'd expect, and it has that preaching episode problem of everybody kind of having the voice of the takes whether it fits their character or not. There's even a Tosh.0 (except it's Josh.0) parody because that show is just super hot right now where "Josh" comments over a Moleman death involving him getting hit by a car with more blood than I'm used to outside of a Treehouse episode. The voice actors sound worse than ever, with Bart struggling to maintain his pitch. Most of the dialogue are people either spewing strawman anti-swapping cliches (with a few on the other side), or other characters saying The Good Opinions on the subject. It's bad but not worse than any other episode. Plan Z fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Mar 26, 2019 |

Iron Crowned posted:Krusty also represents the local celebrity. Everywhere has someone, even if they make no sense whatsoever. This reminds me, what's the general opinion on the episode where Homer becomes a local celebrity after bowling a perfect game? I think it was season 11 or 12, but I remember loving it when I was a teen. I haven't seen it in years though so I don't know how it holds up. Unless I'm mixing it up with another episode, it has the "Spare me your gutter mouth!" exchange, as well as "Not Lenny!!!", which I find myself quoting even to this day.
