You Are A Elf posted:Imagine if they did this sight gag today. Homer straightens up. He talks to nobody in particular except presumably the audience. "Vladimir Putin? But I'm not a drunk president of Russia" In case the audience still don't understand, he adds "I'm just a drunk Homer" The third person reference is for his own benefit. Because the joke hasn't been worn thoroughly out, there is a cutaway gag to a semi-photorealistic yellow Vladimir Putin on a tropical island. He looks down, sadly, beer bottle in his hand. "And I am just a drunk Vladdy." he opines, in a thick Slavic accent. Cue next scene which has nothing to do with this scene

*Yeltsin pulls out a balalaika from some oversized matryoshka dolls and starts singing a Russian folk tune (because he’s Russian, you see, and the audience needs to know that he’s Russian)* Homer: Hey, Yeltsie, what the hell is that? Some sort of triangular banjo?

Love that Charles Bronson-ish offscreen “Hey, fatty! I got a movie for ya, ‘A Fridge Too Far!’” You can hear it in your head just by reading it.

The part that aged poorly was that the number he hit for his supposedly disabling weight was far too low. You can go to Walmart and see multiple guys who weigh 300 pounds any day of the week nowadays, and while they certainly won't be anyone's definition of healthy, they won't be reduced to shuffling around at home with a cane on disability while wearing only hospital gowns. If I were writing that episode today I'd have said 500 pounds.

On a similar note, Krusty's groans of despair everyone time he realises his show sucks or has hosed something up, like seeing he has three burning Ks has his stage background or seeing the repeat he put on announced the Falklands War

So let me get this straight because I do not want to look it up and want to remember a bad season episode from the nether-regions of my mind: The Fat Tony we see today is not actually the Fat Tony we all grew up watching because the Fat Tony we grew up watching died from a heart attack or something, and his cousin, Thin Tony got stressed out from his death, binge ate, and became fat, thus taking over the Fat Tony we grew up watching, correct? I think that’s a lot worse and lazier than The Principal & the Pauper, tbh.

As Homer takes the garbage out, Chief Wiggum, Eddie, and Lou arrive and issue him multiple citations and fines - the result of recently passed, frivolous laws intended to bring in revenue for the city when broken. Taking Moe's suggestion that he bribe a city official to clear up the fines, Homer leaves a sack full of cash on the official's desk but is promptly arrested, convicted, and sentenced to ten years in prison. Wiggum takes pity on Homer and tells him to meet with an FBI agent, who offers to reduce the sentence if Homer will go undercover in the prison to investigate Fat Tony, who is also serving time along with his top henchmen.

Don't forget the classic character Fit Fat Tony either. Shame about him and Roy's spin off getting canceled after the M&M's lawsuit and all. They were -not- happy once they finally took a look at that corner.  edit: drat, just barely beaten.

The Simpsons Wiki is so committed to this continuity that the "Fit-Fat Tony" character is listed as having appearances every season since Season 22 since he's now the mobster guy

What Snowball are they on? 4? That was one of the last episodes I saw, and it must have been almost 2 decades ago.

I remember one where like four Snowballs died so Lisa just called the last one Snowball II for convenience's sake and they ended it with Skinner remarking that that makes no sense and they made an Armin Tamzarian joke just in case you didn't get it.

So I'm on season 11. The Golden Age definitely ends in season 10. There are a lot of great episodes that happen after Principal and the Pauper in season 9, so I don't take stock in the theory that it's all crap from there. Season 10 gets weird. I'm looking at the episode list and the only one I'd say was anywhere on par with the classics is Bart The Mother. From there, episodes range from watchable to terrible. Every once in a while I'll hear a classic quote or see a classic moment. I'll be surprised when a meme is from this far. Otherwise, season 10 is where the series becomes far too reliant on celebrity guest stars. The one with Mel Gibson has aged like milk. (Homer turning a remake of Mr. Smith Goes To Washington into an action movie is a good gag tho.) Also lots of casual transphobia.

MrQwerty posted:Watched King-Size Homer and Marge vs. The Monorail today to remind myself what a legitimately funny Simpsons episode is like and was not disappointed A joke I didn't get in King-Size Homer was when Homer goes to the clothing store: Homer: I'm looking for something loose and billowy, something comfortable for my first day of work. Salesman: Work, huh? Let me guess. Computer programmer, computer magazine columnist, something with computers? Homer: Well, I use a computer. Salesman: What's the connection? Must be the non-stop sitting and snacking. I get the salesman is mocking him, but I think he messes up the delivery. I thought he was saying "lost connection" and that he believed Homer hadn't made a connection because of poor diet and misunderstood his question. Eh, minor issue.

Lol at anyone still caring about the show’s continuity when 1. They hardly cared in the classic seasons either And 2. The current writers have very likely not even seen the classic seasons.
