Cemetry Gator posted:The Great North is growing on me. It has potential, and I think as they develop their voice they'll get funnier. The fourth episode where they get the dad to go on a date was pretty good. The third episode has that fun subplot about the dad and the second oldest son trying to put together a Shrek themed party but neither of them have watched it (and the internet was out so they couldn't just search for it online.)

Urdnot Fire posted:Because people already pay for Disney+ to watch it. That's why you copy the other thing they do, you chop up all the episodes into snippets and glue them back together out of order into endless compilations that kids love to endlessly watch so you still have to use the disney + if you want them in proper episode form.

In recent years they've kinda pivoted him into being a hillbilly wiseman who only seems foolish, and that change is also terrible.

I don’t believe this is the first Cleetus episode. There’s definitely been a Disco Stu one, too, right?

Simpsons has been going on for so long that Disco Stu went from being an anachronism to a double anachronism.

This is the first big Cletus episode I remember A joint-celebration of the Springfield Grand Prix and the final stage of the Tour de Springfield turns sour when the race cars and bicyclists collide with each other. During the following Racers Ball, Bart observes Lisa dancing with Milhouse and makes fun of them, but then Lisa tells him in return that he will never have a date, as his relationships do not last more than a week because his girlfriends eventually find out "the real him". Bart realizes that Lisa is right and, hoping to prove her point wrong, visits all of his past girlfriends (including Jenny the nursing home volunteer from "The Good, the Sad, and the Drugly", Darcy the pregnant teen from "Little Big Girl", Gina Vendetti the juvenile delinquent from "The Wandering Juvie", and Nikki McKenna from "Stealing First Base") to see if they still like him, but each and every one of them rejects him while Nikki still oscillates between loving Bart and hating him. Finally, Bart is left with one option: Mary Spuckler, the daughter of hillbilly Cletus Spuckler from "Apocalypse Cow". He and Milhouse visit the Spuckler house, but Cletus informs them that Mary ran away after he scheduled her for marriage with another hillbilly, and does not know where she is. However, Mary's brother Dubya tells Bart that Mary ran away to New York City and gives him her address. When Bart watches a video of him and Mary, he realizes that she might be his true love and asks Homer and Marge if they can go to New York. At first, the two refuse, still remembering the last time the family traveled to New York. However, Homer changes his mind and is able to find a way to get the family to New York: by swapping houses with a family from there (although the family is intentionally routed to the Flanders house). Arriving at New York City, Bart and Homer search for Mary, and eventually find her at the address. Bart learns that Mary now works as a writer and has a performance option on Saturday Night Live. Mary and several citizens of New York sing a song for Bart, and the two realize that they truly love one another. Before they can kiss, Cletus arrives, having somehow found out where Mary is, and asks her to return home. Mary accepts, but while at the train station, she and Bart take advantage of Cletus's distraction to flee to another departing train. Mary tells Bart that there will be more Mary Spucklers out there, gives him their first kiss, and leaves on the train, calling out to not disappoint any of his future girlfriends and let them "fix him", as he has "a couple of problems, but is mostly great". The family and Cletus arrive, with Cletus demanding where Mary is heading for, but Bart, not wanting to ruin his last chance at true love, refuses. Cletus then accepts that he must let his daughter go. During the trip back to Springfield, Cletus comforts a saddened Bart (who cries) by giving him a photo of several of his children, including Mary, while Homer tells him that he learned the lesson on how "complicated" grown-up feelings can be. As part of a subplot during the New York sequence, Marge, Lisa, and Maggie decide to search for culture. They first try to go to a Broadway show, but give up when they learn they can afford only the worst seats. Eventually arriving at a Shakespeare in the Park performance, they first experience complications when the line is extremely long. Then, the manager announces that the showing, Romeo and Juliet, will not be played tonight, as the actors portraying the Montague and Capulet families – the Baldwin and the Estevez brothers – are at a feud with one another. Enraged at this, Lisa enlists the audience members to take over the roles and they perform the play. However, the police arrive and break up the production. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that a review was written for the show, which Lisa is initially disgusted at, but is diverted when she finds out the reviewer liked her performance as Juliet. During the end credits, the family announces a contest for fans to submit their own couch gag, in which the winner's couch gag will be animated and appearing on the show, and that further details are to be shown on TheSimpsons.com.

Type in “foreboding music playlist” into YouTube find one that appeals to you, put it on but not too loud, and read new Simpsons episode recaps. It’s like the “try not to cum” challenge but for slitting your wrists

Plus it's probably a hell of a lot cheaper to just run the most popular or cheapest program on the channel all day long.

There's that too, it's why people stream Friends or The Office all day long

For 20 years running now I have used Home Movies as my "fall asleep" background noise, ever since it was first-run on Adult Swim at like 1AM and I got used to falling asleep in that time slot. Only now I just stream it from my phone. I make it about 30 seconds at a time on average. It takes me like three months to work my way through the 4 seasons and start over

I'm still mad that there's no "random episode" button. I get that companies think it's way too complicated to let customers create a custom randomized channel based on different series and whitelists/blacklists/weights, but don't make me actively need to choose a specific individual episode or a "random" episode based on holding the down button for a way too consistent length of time

Back when I had cable, adult swim would knock me the gently caress out every time. I usually couldn't fall asleep for hours. But a minute of Family Guy would put me to sleep for the whole night. Their Roku app is basically the same for me now. They used to have great stream shows, but covid and HBO took that away. Now their Robot Chicken marathon puts me to sleep in seconds every time.

The best I'd ever be able to say was "that episode had a couple of decent gags".

Can someone help me find a quote/name of an episode? Its from a golden period episode when The Simpsons go to a colonial village. Barney is there and Homer says something like "oh you got a job as the town drunk?" and Barney is like "what job?" I can't find it through Google because I dont remember the rest of the plot of the episode, and there's been too many bad episodes based on colonial villages since.
