Detective No. 27 posted:At this point, the show is just marketing for a mobile game. Supereyepatch Wolf had a great video last year about how The Simpsons these days makes the majority of it's money through Tapped Out and how the real Simpsons content these days have been the various fan works made throughout the years. My bootleg toy was featured in this video

Marble is like when James May called the Kia Optima the “Optic” like the script said and everyone laughed because the director told them

Look at the living room background. The loving curved shadow is flat regardless of the depth of what it's being cast on, AND IT CASTS A SHADOW ON THE WINDOW GLASS. Whoever saw the Simpsons movie and decided that it means shadows are required in every shot is an idiot

At least in that instance there are actually arched doorways to cast that shadow

In the new one they teach Maggie sign language, but Marge gets annoyed people are ignoring her, so she cuts off their screen time. Everyone else does well with it but Marge can't kick it so they go to a screen addiction rehab (Werner Herzog runs it. Dr. Drew has a cameo and his cartoon is for some reason ripped.) The family eventually discovers the rehab counselors stole all their accounts when they checked in and have been using them to send spam scams so they get Werner Herzog arrested. Also Dana Gould was there. Super forgettable episode, which actually makes it better than the average new simpsons because they didn't commit any atrocities.

Actually, come to think of it, there's a fair few episodes involving poorly thought out business ventures that involve Homer in an important position, but his own actions really aren't actually key to its inevitable failure. Powell Motors, sure, but also Poochie and the monorail. (Of course, the last one was deliberately set up to fail and all) The trend is more that any business venture that lets Homer get involved already has people making many, many poor decisions.

Globex might be an exception here, given Homer was hired based on seniority rather than performance (and because they couldn't get Smithers) but wisely put into a management position where he's not expected to do much actual work, and is savvy enough to let the eggheads stick to their job and keep their morale up with donuts. Then again, given their whole world domination thing, maybe a different set of genre conventions are at play and Homer actually slips into the role of the lovable doofus comic relief henchman who the villainous mastermind plays off.

Drunken Baker posted:Simpsons predicted Manhunt. It's a bit of a chicken-egg situation, given how a fair few gory games were specifically made to spite and get free publicity from moral majority type groups, which I think died out around the time of the Dante's Inferno game which had outright fake protesters.

In the episode where the Flanders home gets destroyed by a hurricane his childhood psychiatrist states that he treated ned as a child some 30 years ago. Making Ned no older than 40 and yet several seasons later there's an episode about Ned being 60. I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.

remember the episode about maggie's birth? remember that scene where homer runs up the stairs in a hysterical panic and then marge points out how homer did the exact same thing when he got the news about both bart and lisa as well? now recall the episode when the homer and marge reminisce about how they were living in an apartment and didn't get the house they currently live in until just before lisa was born

Speaking of Matt Groening creations, I have to work from home so I've been watching a lot of Futurama, and I didn't remember how not great season 5 was in comparison to the first four seasons. Compared to the later seasons, it was a masterpiece, but once they started playing up the Fry/Leela stuff, the show started going downhill.
