First of May posted:I've been watching every episode in order, and I think the first appearance of Jerk Homer is in Lisa on Ice. I don't think so. Something waaaaaaaaaay older than that is the episode when the family goes to Duff Gardens and Homer sees the long line for the water slide and just barges his way through. Don't really care for that episode, but I did love how the old lady non-sarcastically says "God bless that man".

Hyrax Attack! posted:Yeah, Onion and AV Club lost their spark more than a decade ago. They used to be must read, now we get “As stated an official Univision press release on the topic, "Univision Communications Inc. (UCI) […] today announced that the Company has initiated a formal process to explore the sale of the assets comprising the Gizmodo Media Group (GMG) and The Onion." The Onion is still pretty good. They’ve been on an upswing since they unionized imo.

I 100% checked out of the Onion when it changed hands closer to 2016 and began running all kinds of “Isn’t Hilary wacky (but in all sincerity please vote for her)?” stories

I don't think I could ever hate the Onion solely because of their running gag of not knowing what a firetruck is. Those articles get me every time.

Frog Act posted:I honestly think Elementary School Musical, S22, might be the lowest point ever, even compared to the garbage from the past nine years. it's got inexplicable guest stars, literally toneless singing, a baffling and almost aggressively bad narrative, and horrible jokes. but the worst part are the songs, which feel like an assault on every sense  isn't this that "funny" rap group from england or something? i can't remember the name of the group, but i think one of them was named jemaine or something

Flight of the Conchords, from New Zealand. I like them - shame they couldn’t have been used in a good episode of The Simpsons.

At my age I’m willing to bet that being into musical comedy is basically genetic. The ya like trying to explain to someone that Cilantro is good, actually. I grew up on Weird Al so I have a deep well of laughing at funny songs, but I can totally understand him not resonating with you.

YeahTubaMike posted:the episode where i decided there was nothing left in the show for me was the one with that annoying little sideshow bob screaming "vendetta!" over and over again, so i missed this one, but wow. WOW. that was completely awful Yep, same. Sideshow Bob episodes were always good, but that was the moment when I realized "Why am I still watching this poo poo?" after about the 200th "VENDETTA! VENDETTA! VENDETTA! VENDETTA!" Then I remember watching an episode where Bob genetically modified himself to have gills and grasshopper legs and other stupid poo poo. gently caress this dead dumb show.

Vendetta was definitely one of the ones that made me stop watching the show. That along with Frank Grimes's son, and a Treehouse of Horror where Moe takes over Homer's family, so Homer gets revenge by putting him a Rube Goldberg machine to deep fry him.

I just remembered that Marge was featured in Playboy and figured that was it, that was the lowest point. (Possibly for the magazine as well) Then I realized that was like 10 years ago and it sure isn't likely to have turned it's trajectory around

I think the vendetta episode might have been the one that made me drop the show too. The Sideshow Bob episodes were generally still some of the good ones but that one was basically just another "The Simpsons go to a place" episode and the "vendetta! vendetta!" poo poo was remarkably terrible even by late Simpsons standards.

He obliges, but Marge, Homer and the teen-abstinence group come to stop him. When Lisa talks about Walt Whitman, Bob realises he has become a monster and attempts suicide by drowning, but then remembers he has gills. They need to start taking Emmys away. I wonder at what point, with all episodes taken into account, King of the Hill will objectively be better.
