After Homer and Marge relationship problems the second biggest used plot has to be Lisa doesn’t get top marks in a subject or activity and mopes about it.

I havent watched an entire episode of The Simpsons since like 2000 or so, watched the first episode of the new season to see how bad it is and there was a scene where Mr. Burns suited up into a mech and it was spoofing the Starcraft 2 release trailer. What the gently caress. Elderbean fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Dec 23, 2020 |

Lmao, whoops, I meant 2. Starcraft Ghost was scrapped and remade a few times, I think. I think it just became something with no apparent focus that was taking up time and money so blizzard tossed it. Elderbean fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Dec 23, 2020 |

Tbf, the monorail episode is a fairly significant departure from what had come before it. The basic concept is grounded in reality but it has a high proportion of wacky jokes and some unbelievably quick pacing. In some ways it barely resembles the show of the previous three seasons. The trick is that it actually found the sweet spot of silliness that was well put together and funny. It also kept the characteristic of being surprisingly clever, even if that was resigned mostly to old references.

That said, I have to think that there were occasional bizarre gags and silly references even before then (like the Indy bit linked), just not quite at the same frequency as the monorail episode.

Despite it being a cop show the first few seasons aren't quite so blatant cop love, and I suspect there were disagreements about the tone of the show and Zibby's politics as well. Zibby is fairly openly pro-BLM. The whole thing is weird as hell because as far as I know the podcast just isn't that big, the podcast explosion is here and they didn't get picked up by Spotify or anything. bus hustler fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Dec 28, 2020 |

In non-wacky season one the family electrocutes each other so badly it causes blackouts across the town, and Homer get captured and misidentified as Bigfoot because he's covered in mud.

Why not though? Homer falls down the entire stairs and is uninjured, Maggie is somehow able to instantly reload and shoot a single-shot sticky dart gun, Bart does a slide on concrete like it's nothing, Homer is able to burst his face and belly through a garage door, be unhurt (again), and then somehow get outside instantly

I feel the gorge bit was the first time they decided they could be a cartoon. It's pretty much a looney tunes bit and still really funny.

Even then they were careful to contrast themselves from Looney Tunes by having Homer get carried off in a stretcher to the hospital.

I do like that bit where the family manages to get the doctor to give them a refund on the treatment that's supposed to make them less dysfunctional, and that's when they're all happy and go out for frosty chocolate milkshakes.

I wonder if anyone young enough to be raised on later Simpsons seasons will have any understanding of how genuinely awesome the new TV Homer said they were going to get sounded "A little cart so we can wheel it into the dining room on holidays", god drat, what a luxury it was to be able to watch Christmas specials while we ate
