what are recent simpsons episodes even about i've tried reading wikipedia summaries and i still don't understand what i'm reading it's like when i'm reading a book and occasionally i have to reread a page or a paragraph to fully grasp what i read but in this case it is impossible to fully grasp it quote:Meanwhile, Marge purchases an old book called The Princess in the Garden that used to be her favorite while growing up. She hopes to read it to Lisa, but realizes it is actually culturally offensive in many different ways. In a dream sequence, Marge meets Rudyard Kipling, author of The Jungle Book, who tells her that it is okay to be racist. Also in the dream, she meets the author of The Princess in the Garden, Heloise Hodgeson Burwell, who is a reference to Frances Hodgson Burnett. She gives her permission to rewrite the story and remove the offensive bits. Marge decides to edit the story to lessen the offensive stereotypes and clichés, but after she reads it to Lisa, the two agree that it has lost meaning along with its "spirit and character." Lisa decides to bring Marge to Springfield University, where she is told by modern scholars that the book is a subversive satire of conformity. However, Marge is not entirely convinced, and the scholars admit that they do not completely believe it either. what is this Kaiser Mazoku fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Aug 15, 2020 |

Lisa literally turning to the camera to tell us Apu isn't racist is the actual lowest point. That's going to be hard to top.

Apu was fine until somewhere around season 8-10 where they started making more "haha look he's Indian" jokes.

Is this basically like when George HW made his "more like the Waltons, less like the Simpsons" comment and the producers sent a rather silly letter in-character as Marge as a rebuttal, only that wasn't public and was only talked about when the DVDs came out ten years later? Two Bad Neighbours is a classic though and Bart's line "Hey, we're just like the Waltons! We're praying for an end to the depression too!" is great.

Marge punting the Chihuahua thousands of yards was at least something I wasn't expecting - so this goes in the pile of "good 20+ episodes"

Has anyone found an episode weirder than the one where Homer slips hormones into Bart's milk that makes him want to gently caress his teacher?

Plan Z posted:Has anyone found an episode weirder than the one where Homer slips hormones into Bart's milk that makes him want to gently caress his teacher? quote:During a trip to "Satan's Anvil", the students and faculty of Springfield Elementary stumble into bizarre people and situations: Otto runs over "realistic" versions of Coyote and Road Runner; Martin meets an eccentric and grumpy hermit artist that the government tried to hire for years but never succeeded; Bart, Nelson and Milhouse find old French postcards, which Nelson takes to "use" behind a cactus; and Lisa is almost attacked by scorpions, but they quickly become passive after Lisa passes through a field of silvertongue flowers in Springfield's desert, prompting her to take the scorpions and some flowers for further experiments. When they return home, the Simpsons family is forced to let Grampa live at their house, after he was kicked out of the old folks home for being too grumpy. After Lisa confirms that the flower has a powerful chemical agent that nullifies all the negative feelings of any living being, Homer sneaks some into his father's coffee, curing his usual crankiness. Grampa decides to do this daily, acknowledging that a drug that stimulates happiness is the best thing that ever happened in his bitter life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ns6fEdXCnE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV-E_KANm18

Wasn't this a South Park episode where mixing up Tom Brady's steroids with Ike's laxatives made him want to gently caress the female puppet thing in Yo Gabba Gabba

Last time I checked in on this thread, folks were playing the fake or real synopsis game. I so completely could not tell that I didn't feel like it was much of a game and it made me sad.

I actually caught the one where the old people's eyes pop out on TV a couple of years ago. It was really, really bad.

Was rambling about how Itchy and Scratchy's shown to have had two completely independent long-forgotten attempts at an expanded cast (the original one in the lawsuit episode and the more recent one in Itchy and Scratchyland... and it's the latter which had Ku Klux Klam) even before Poochie, and suddenly got the terrible idea for a zombie seasons episode where Itchy and Scratchy is used as a bad analogue for Sonic the Hedgehog about how they keep introducing new friends who are generally obnoxious, redundant and only really popular with furries for pornographic reasons, which the writers clearly have no idea what to do with but refuse to stop. I'd say this is the opposite problem of what the Simpsons has, but then I remembered Gil...

I was gonna ask the thread if “new” Simpsons at least had some good Itchy and Scratchy segments and this reminded me. Anyone know? I have a feeling they aren’t as ridiculously over the top anymore, if they even do them at all.

Still say we need the Simpsons to show up in Kingdom Hearts: Random Digits Title and go full weird with it, fight scenes referencing the arcade game, Homer and Flanders going back to back fighting off an endless horde of Heartless, one of the interchangeable anime villains trying to explain their plan to Homer with increasing irritation as he finds it as confusing as the audience does. And then at the end the entire family shows up to charge into battle against the final confrontation with Palpatine, Thanos and xXSuperMegaXenahortXx
