I don't know why they keep making episodes about other parts of the world. The jokes are either completely incomprehensible, or rely on stereotypes that were outdated before the show began

The Simpsons as a whole is and always has been built on stereotypes that were outdated before the show began

VVV that too

PostNouveau posted:The Japan one was pretty awful It’s not a great ep, the slide was picking up speed by that point but there were some ok moments. But compared with the King of the Hill ep in Japan it’s got nothing. Is anyone else annoyed by comedians bragging about writing for the Simpsons, when their tenure was entirely during garbage seasons? It’s like watching footage of the NY Jets winning the super bowl in 1968 and someone bragging they coach that team in 2020.

The Moon Monster posted:I vaguely remember Bart shouting "karate!" and an Israeli girl shouting "krav maga!" which was pretty bad. When I watched that scene episode, it was one of the first new episodes I had seen in years, and I recall actively getting mad at it. The entire scene felt so aggressively unfunny, and so forced by the writers for unclear reasons that it got me mad at a cartoon.

Everytime someone references some embarrassing scene I tell myself to not look it up and then someone posts it and I tell myself to not watch. I always watch and it’s always somehow worse than I thought.

I haven't rewatched the Simpsons in a while, and didn't see the Godfather until recently and holy poo poo that horse head spoof is so loving funny.

Plant MONSTER. posted:Robot Episode 2: Lisa becomes increasingly ill from eating the fruit of the sun as well as the sun's fruit. It's explained in flashback, but Bart's argument at the end that she had to do this simply for survival is the actual explanation. Bart starts eating the sun while he is trying to find a way to get to the island. This reads like an indigenous creation myth roughly translated into English by a graduate student working from a transcription of the last native speaker of its original language, but the grad student didn't have enough cultural context to make it make any sense.

That krava maga scene wasn’t nearly as bad I expected. I guess the fact that it exists at all is what makes it so bad

The Moon Monster posted:What's the worst "Simpsons go to a place" episode anyway? Italy was singularly terrible, but Boston was ridiculously boring and Bart's weird obsession with "southies" really bugged me. The Africa one is still the worst to me just a bunch of stuff thrown together to make 22 mins.

Sideshow bob again, Someone has to explain the joke about Krusty not knowing what naples is called. But up until that point, the sideshow bob parts were pretty fun? And then somehow "VENDETTA VENDETTA VENDETTA" reminded me that the writers couldn't land a punchline anymore, and fraiser couldn't save this trash.

I've always really hated the Brazil one. The Brazil episode is bad but there's a couple moments that I remember as being funny, like the overly sweet fruit juice or the jokes about the horny kids' shows. The Jerusalem one is white noise throughout.

"A bloodless coup, all smotherings" was a last gasp of decent joke writing and delivery too. But god did it have some garbage new simpsons 'humor' in it, like literally every single thing homer did in the entire episode.

Pretty forgettable episode. Comic Book Guy goes to Comic-con, which is a bunch of uninspired jokes about fandom. He asks a bad question and gets humiliated and loses his mojo, but gets it back by mocking Ralph. Lisa gets duped into losing her chair challenge in the band to a new kid in school she's attracted to who's leading her on just to steal her chair. She just kinda gets over it by playing for free in the mall. Bart gets a job as a voice actor but is dismayed to find out when the show airs that he voices a woman. This works bizarrely poorly because Nancy Cartwright's impression of Bart voicing a woman is pretty masculine. Bart feels better when his character turns out to be a murder machine. Paul Rudd had a cameo. You'd think Lisa's love interest would be a famous person, but the only notable thing about the guest star is he was Evan Hansen on Broadway.

She just kinda gets over it by playing for free in the mall. Every new Simpsons subplot is the worst subplot, but every Lisa subplot is somehow even worse. Every loving one is "Lisa wants to be the best but can't" or "Lisa falls for someone she shouldn't". This is somehow both.

What a satisfying plot resolution that must be.  quote:Bart gets a job as a voice actor but is dismayed to find out when the show airs that he voices a woman. This works bizarrely poorly because Nancy Cartwright's impression of Bart voicing a woman is pretty masculine. I would think that the masculinity of Bart's woman voice would be part, if not most, of the joke.
