Impression I got is a lot of the earlier accusations were dodgy af from parents, but then a couple of now adult victims came forward with details on their own accord, and also the narrative around sexual abuse had changed a lot.

Not to mention there have been tons of accusations since before the documentary, as the onion so helpfully pointed out https://www.theonion.com/michael-jackson-estate-questions-why-accusers-only-comi-1833105791/amp

Whether he did it (he did) or didn't (he did), the man gave us some great things like when he single handedly flew to Japan and made Sonic 3, all on his own, and some great In Livin Color segments. One of the only other good things Fox ever had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adIDkAXl5Yk

Hedgehog Pie posted:It seems like Arrested Development really was made for streaming and binge watching before that was even a thing, so it and Netflix should have in theory been a great match... but the Netflix-produced seasons are a real mixed bag and season 4 was considered so confusing to some that they re-edited it entirely, so now I don't know what to think. Though I thought 4 had its moments and was superior to 5. Best Friends plot is the one they referenced in the game “The one where joey eats chandler”.

i figured it was either copyright conflicts or jackson being a pervert, just wondered which one it was. its a shame really, there were good moments in that episodesweet geek swag posted:It wasn't really Disney that pulled the Michael Jackson episode. Apparently Al Jean thought Jackson used the episode to groom kids, and he pushed to have it taken down. He said so in an interview right when it happened. hadnt even considered this angle, and if thats what happened then this might be the only good thing i ever heard about al jean doing Junk fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Sep 3, 2021 |

If I recall Grownung was actually so loving stupid he was ruled out as a kiddy fiddler even though he was on the Lolita express, because one of the underage girls came up to him and he drew her a sketch and signed it with the days date and if you think you’re on a child molester plane why tf would you ever do thatKaiser Mazoku posted:wasn't it proven that the parents who accused him just wanted a payout lol how would you ever prove this? Phone recording of parents saying “our son, who we believe was not molested, is a really good way of procuring money from Michael Jackson, an innocent man”

Honestly says a lot that he was such an open secret molester parents actively sent their kids to get molested for cash, but that's p much how showbiz works. Look at Jamie-Lynn Spears.

Something I’ve been thinking about for a while: Everyone knows that season 9/10 or so is the beginning of the end as far as Simpsons quality is concerned. But there’s decent episodes all the way up until season 14 or so. So - what’s the latest episode Simpsons meme that would be generally recognized/quotable by Simpsons fans? The best I could come up with is the “Old Man Yells At Cloud” meme, which is from an otherwise kind of mediocre episode in season 13. Is there anything from later than that that is generally recognizable and meme-d by Simpsons fans (not counting the movie)?

Calico Heart posted:lol how would you ever prove this? Phone recording of parents saying “our son, who we believe was not molested, is a really good way of procuring money from Michael Jackson, an innocent man” This is basically what happened for one of the allegations. The dad was a Hollywood pill doctor and happened to also be a co-writer of the screenplay for Men in Tights. quote:On 8 July, Schwartz phoned Evan (Dad) to discuss Jordan’s (son) relationship with Jackson. Unbeknownst to Evan, Schwartz recorded the phone call.[19] Even though at this point his son did not accuse Jackson, Chandler was hostile about Jackson, describing him as "evil" and complained that Jackson stopped calling him. He also complained that his ex-wife and his son were not willing to take his phone calls either and called Jackson and his son "users". He said he had hired "the nastiest son of a bitch he could find", lawyer Barry Rothman, to humiliate Jackson [15] Said dad gave his son barbituates during a tooth removal which is where he claimed the son confessed to having been molested by Jackson. The dad also physical abused the son and almost once killed him with a barbell.

I don't know what episode it's from, but there was shockingly well executed visual gag from one of the bad seasons I saw on YouTube recently. It was the one were Moe throws Homer and Barney out of the bar and then Barney shows up behind Moe in the next frame. Of course they ruined it with a character explaining the joke, but it was still pretty good .

I stopped watching around season 17 or 18 in my latest watch but I was surprised that every once in a while a Simpsons meme would end up being from past season 11. Stupid Sexy Flanders is one of them. It was few and far between though.

I’ve seen this in meme form, so I had to look it up and yes, sometimes zombie Simpsons has a decent joke or visual gag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6l4b1_Px5c

"Homer, why do you keep saying you think Bart misses his old glasses? He doesn't even wear glasses." "Aw, c'mon Marge, you know I'm an idiot and an inattentive father! As a result I'm comically ignorant of basic details about our son."
