It appears that the elephant is highly sensitive to the effects of LSD - a finding which may prove to be valuable in elephant-control work in Africa.

Right now if you post dark Simpsons everyone tells you that it sucks. That seems to work pretty well.

I'd be happy to read a dark if it were actually funny. If only that were possible.

Maybe it's okay for people to think different things are funny and not to be the comedy magistate of the thread

Like, I'd rather someone posted a thousand Dark Simpsons memes than one more flat, flavorless Avalanches lyricpost but you don't hear me getting buck wild about it

Also here's a meme so this isn't just derailing completely

I agree but with a qualification. I think there's a kind of implied social contract where the edgier and more offensive your subject the better (either in terms of how funny it is or how insightful it is) has to be justify it and if you pull it off great, but if you don't you're going to get poo poo on by people and that's just part of the deal and you know that risk going in and don't get to complain about being "cancelled" or whatever.

Anyway that rape joke sucked.

I kind of appreciate the "creativeness" of remixing scenes that heavily to write a new plot but Homer getting kidnapped and raped by Willy and then murdering him is dumb edgelord poo poo and there's no punchline. The one about Homer throwing Bart down a well is pretty good because it's not that out of line for Homer and the panel of him driving away happily is a good punchline.

By the way, what the gently caress is the deal with the weird high pitched squeak in pop music the last couple years? Where does it come from and why doesn't the entire world experience the same complete revulsion that it triggers in me?

the best Dark Simpsons wasn't even a Dark Simpsons, it was the one where Homer uses Frink's teleporter and goes up his own rear end in an infinite loop

Young people can hear high pitched sounds better and fuller.

Also trends and tastes alternates and with regards to music it seems to alternative between bass heavy and "squeak" heavy. Nostalgia also cycles in 20 year periods so some of the current trends could be reflective of cheesy 90s dance music? I wouldn't hold your breath on things changing though because the 90s might be the last decade anyone feels nostalgic for. I don't (just) mean because of an apocalypse but because of the internet there's no more past and future, they've been smashed together then steched out into a distended present.

Though I actually like midnight city. Most of the rest can get hosed though.

Can we just have a thread rule where if you post dark Simpsons, you get mod challenged to make a combinatory meme and the thread decides if it makes up for the op or not? Or maybe make the op create a dark-simpsons-style comic that is funny but not about rape/murder.

Or just make dark Simpsons probe-able I guess.

Yeah, always sad to see 40-50 new posts in the Simpsons meme thread but it's because of something that wasn't funny and we spent a few pages talking about why.

The droning synth stands out more in the actual song imo, but Nelson's laughing is really obnoxious. My dad is 76, refuses to wear a hearing aid and always needs people to speak up for him, but he still cringes at high pitch sounds like babies crying, or sneakers on a basketball court.

In the end, it is a dark joke, but there is a set-up, punch line structure to it. "lol rape" doesn't even do that.
