someone's going to make an "incredible bulk" joke about Homer there's no way that episode isn't going to be full of the most predictable avengers puns Montague Tigg fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Feb 26, 2020 |

Hidden in the top-right corner: Introducing Kevin Feige as "Chinnos" I knew it would be a bad Thanos parody, but Chinnos... edit: Chinnos is holding a mobile phone. I can't even begin to imagine how bad this will be. He needs to install the 6 power apps? I'm sure Feige's acting will knock it out of the park. hottubrhymemachine fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Feb 26, 2020 |

Data Graham posted:Is it too late for the Simpsons to double down on SOME GIZMO jokes Even bad episodes of the Simpsons iirc tended to be surprisingly on the ball about technology; the early seasons had very 90s depictions of absurdly violent games that kids love which is fair enough given it was the heyday of Mortal Kombat and Carmageddon, one of the dotcom bubble episodes has online cartoons that are pretty apropos for the era of early Newgrounds-style stuff, and even the MMO episode which does the usual things of mixing up Everquest style games and Second Life (to be fair some games deliberately blur that line) doesn't seem too off the ball. And the good old days have video games used as vehicles for jokes, like My Dinner With Andre. (and Stickball) Homer's computer-illiteracy is always played for laughs, but he's honestly better than a lot of boomers.

SeXReX posted:I keep seeing this loving recommendation on YouTube for a way too long essay about "jerkass Homer" Nah. He went from being mostly well-meaning, albeit lazy and short-tempered, to overtly mean and with malice or being super oblivious to it. You see the earliest signs of jerkass Homer in season 8, but it wasn't really until the Mike Scully era that it got really bad. The first episode I remember hating because of this was The Joy of Sect. Homer isn't a jerkass in modern episodes, but that alone is certainly not enough to make them worth watching.

In the new one, Lisa decides to write a school essay about Frink, who is about to launch Frinkcoin. He plays her a long video of Jim Parsons explaining what cryptocurrency is. The new coin is an instant hit that makes Frink rich, but it's not really explained how at all. Despite throwing in the video, I don't think they know how cryptocurrency works. Frink finds his new riches don't make him happy because he's lonely, so he befriends Homer and his buddies. There is a montage set to Frink singing a "Putting on the Ritz" parody about throwing money around. Burns hears that Frink is now the richest man in town and gets pissed. (Smithers sounds weird now.) He hires the town nerds to build Burnscoin. But eventually the nerds tell him it can't be done and his best chance is to solve the hash, which would take 9,000 years. Burns throws the equation on a whiteboard expecting someone to Good Will Hunting it. This somehow leads to a "Three Billboards" joke about Chief Wiggum and a joke about how Patty and Selma can't smoke since they moved to Disney (they put on mouse ears). Burns settles for telling Frink that all his new friends are leaches and being rich means you'll never know if anyone really likes you. Frink starts tightening up and finds his new friends disappear, so he solves the equation in the middle of town. Burns is overjoyed to again be the richest man in a town of 32,000, which I think is the first time they've revealed Springfield's population.

In the B-plot video game, Bart does a finishing move that knocks off the other player's head. In early 1990, we found that joke hilarious and absurd. Then, two years later, Mortal Kombat was released. The satire on the Simpsons used to be so cutting-edge it was predictive.

Okay, impressive for it being before Mortal Kombat. I think it might be a case where especially in early seasons they know that a good chunk of the audience is going to be kids and families who are entirely familiar with video games (and of course, nerds) and so it's both better and much funnier to depict them accurately. (or clearly deliberately inaccurately) Actually, while children's cartoons and adult's live action TV from that era both tended to be jarringly bad at depicting video games realisticaly, the niche of adult-oriented cartoons tends not to be, King of the Hill and South Park are usually fairly accurate.
