Plan Z posted:This is becoming super common in podcasts lately for the people to just bullshit for like an hour and I'm of different of minds about it depending on which podcasts I listen to. WeHateMovies is a good example of this. I used to really love their dissection of movies, but it has gotten formulaic to the point of tedium and I usually tune out when they actually bother to talk about the movie. I mostly only listen to their mailbag episodes at this point because those are just them bullshitting for an hour or so.

i cohost a podcast about baseball with one of my friends, and i don't want to sound all like "i'm not like THOSE podcasts" but that kind of bullshitty banter is something that we specifically avoid, even if we aren't as successful at avoiding it as we think we are.

Been listening to Talking Simpsons, and I might need a break. The two guys running it can be a little too Bay Area. They often miss that when a character is saying something culturally or socially ignorant, that it's meant to be a foil to mock their ignorance. The TS guys miss this a lot, saying that the show "Hates these people, or this good thing." There's also a lot of apologism when they have non-Americans or non-white people on too, with the guest usually responding along the lines of "No, I get the nuance," or "It's well-meant representation, even if it's slightly outdated so I don't mind." On a lighter note, I got a little chuckle out of one of them saying "People must like dive bars so they can just chug cheap $5 beer." I still like the podcast, but I just needed an outlet.

Some people have good chemistry and it's just interesting to listen to them talk to each other. Ken Jennings and John Roderick have that kind of a relationship on Omnibus and actually make it part of the show. They start with seemingly random banter and relate it directly to introducing the topic.

LIVE AMMO ROLEPLAY posted:Absolutely do not watch the Poochy episode with commentary turned on, the writers get a bit salty. What did they say exactly? I'm legitimately curious to see what exactly what THEY thought the takeaway from that episode was supposed to be. Bust Rodd posted:
The funny thing is that this was way more sexually over than anything in Animaniacs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnHNPMMvCCY Slightly Absurd posted:There were only two Minerva Mink shorts, and I wouldn't be surprised if they purposefully tried avoiding airing those episodes on repeat. Hot take: I didn't mind the MM episode that involved the werewolf. Hotter take: The Simpsons was still watcheable until at least season 15. I used to think the show took nose dive after season 9 in quality, but thinking about it, I may have to re-evaluate that. It is definitely true that the show is noticeably different starting around that time, but I used to think that it became less funny, which I don't think is the case. The main problems is that the characters changed to become more obnoxious and cynical, while the plots became more absurd and nonsensical. But the show still had plenty of good humor, imo. Even when I was complaining about the episodes back in the day, I would still watch them, and still laugh quite often throughout the episodes. Somebody in this thread metaphorically looked at me like I was wearing a vest of Armour hot dogs when I listed a bunch of episodes from season 12 that I thought were funny. Well, I still stand by it! I mean, look at the episode when Krusty finds out he has a daughter. *after Krusty bets his daughter's violin in a card game* accountant: monetarily this ain't worth much, but the sentimental value is off the charts! Krusty: Every mob family in the country's here: the Cuomos, the Travoltas, the Lasordas, the Boyardees.... Legs: Hey, I heard there's a lunar eclipse tonight. Maybe we should look up. Louie: Nah. For me, it's solar or nothing. Fat Tony: Now some unpleasant news. I have learned that someone in this room is a squealer. Legs: We've narrowed it down to either Johnny Tightlips or Frankie the Squealer. Frankie the Squealer: Okay, it's me! I can't help it! I just like squealing! It makes me feel big!

Ken Jennings and John Roderick have that kind of a relationship on Omnibus and actually make it part of the show. They start with seemingly random banter and relate it directly to introducing the topic. Podcast banter is definitely something that is either good or bad with no real gray area between. I think the bad banter comes from two angles: - New podcasters thinking that hearing other podcasters banter in an entertaining way is easy - Formerly good banter, that has become bad because the modicum of fame generated caused the podcasters to get too high huffing their own farts (this is most bad banter).

I remember there being good memorable jokes in the Simpsons up to season 12. It's just that when you get to around season 10 you start to get to the point where half or more of the jokes are misses and there are whole episodes that I just skip without a problem.

Roleplaying Larry posted:The lowest point of the Simpsons has yet to come. Synopsis of the next upcoming episode quote:"On a family vacation to Niagara Falls, Lisa is mistakenly granted political asylum in Canada. When Marge goes to rescue Lisa, they are forced to re-evaluate their love for America as they navigate the polite Canadian landscape." Guest starring Judy Blume as herself. So, in the last couple of seasons, I there has been a Denmark episode, a New Orleans episode and now a Canada episode that are all rear end-kissing travelogues. Is Al Jean getting kickbacks from tourism boards?

My siblings and I had a VHS tape of the Tiny Toons music videos and we'd watch it all the time. I remember my mom always hating that segment, she'd tell us every time that it wasn't good. At the time I thought it was "Fuddonna" she objected to, but now.... I think I understand better. Good lord.

There's an old clip of the cast on "Inside the Actors Studio" where they all seem completely bored and disdainful at having to talk to James Lipton in their cartoon voices. https://vimeo.com/115887786 Skip to 43:45 to watch the amateur playwright have his heart ripped in half at the knowledge that his heroes don't even talk outside of work.
