Detective No. 27 posted:It’s a case of yes and no. The big problem I have with the Mike Judge Collection is some of the episodes are a hack job. There are some earlier episodes where it's cut up, or just missing parts. The Christmas bits are especially egregious, with the segments being episodes, but the letters to Santa-Butthead are bonus features. I am so thankful that I have the ~2003 Time Life set, which contains several episodes that didn't make the cut to the Mike Judge Collection, and Beavis and Butthead Do Christmas is as intact as it can be without music videos.

Bart not paying attention & thinking Martin was instructing him to kill spectators is one of my all time favorite gags, especially the subsequent slap.

Just sparked the memory of the long-rumored anime episode of Quantum Leap that Katsuhiro Otomo was supposed to have directed. I think the claim was that during the Olympics in the early 90s people saw a clip of Akira was shown on NBC with a mention of "Sam leaps into a cartoon!" I don't even know how/why that specific rumor became a thing for a while.

on the first and second paragraph. I went one more season of THoH and subjected myself to a bland parody of the totally forgettable and totally forgotten Mr. & Mrs. Smith movie with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt from 2005, and the episode aired two years after that. Everything afterward is either a blur or I just gave up entirely. Kidding, it’s the latter.

Riptor posted:I suspect you may not be familiar with the existing Bartkira, which is amazing Oh this is pretty cool, yeah I hadn't seen it, but naming aside, it looks pretty close to "my" suggestions. I guess Samantha would be the logical tragic love interest of Milhouse. Still, the name choice is a bit odd since Bart pretty clearly isn't the Akira stand-in, but I guess it's got the naming recognition.

my mom, who is the most religiously conservative person i know in my life, didn't give a poo poo about any questionable stuff in the simpsons. but that wasn't cause she didn't mind the more blasphemous aspects of the show, but rather cause she thought all animation was garbage for little kids. to her, the simpsons was no different than looney tunes so she let me watch it without any issue whatsoever. of course, it also helped that she couldn't speak english. on the other hand, my mom would frequently complain whenever i would watch something like married with children. she couldn't understand any of the comedy in that show either, but took note whenever the raunchy scenes with hot half naked women would appear. she would disgustingly ask why i would watch such filth and i had to insist to her that i was watching for the clever writing and not for the scantily clad women (which was half true!). thankfully she never actually stopped me from watching it. Wizard Master posted:What do you think the darkest jokes on the show have been panda rape and frank grimes' death are both up there there's a lot of dark poo poo in many of the treehouse of horror episodes (like apu's and multiple other springfielders bodies' floating in the ocean at the end of the killer dolphins episode, or homer killing patty when he becomes the grim reaper), but those episodes are specifically designed to be dark so i dunno if they count. DaveWoo posted:Now that I think about it, why isn't there a nostalgia-bait sitcom about growing up in the 2000s? somebody (more?) already mentioned it but a big reason for that is cause we're not exactly finished extracting all the juice from the 90s nostalgia turnip just yet. the 2000s didn't start the edgy comedy series (we already had that in the 90s with married with children, south park, and i guess also the simpsons to an extent apparently), but it did open the floodgates. Family Guy, Aquateen Hunger Force, hell pretty much everything on Adult Swim helped popularize that type of content. The 00s also were defined by (not uncoincidentally) edgy websites and messageboards, and linkin park style music. you could absolutely create a nostalgia bait series around that time frame.

It's the Halloween episode. First segment: a Babadook parody where Marge tries to murder Maggie. The second was a Death Note parody done in an anime style. I've never seen Death Note and I can tell this is probably confusing to the old people like my parents who still watch The Simpsons. Is it a good parody? Not that funny but at least the animation was interesting. Third segment was another nostalgia bait one where the old episodes are a West World style thing. I also don't think my dad would get what this is a parody of or what exactly is going on, too meta. They do a lot of meta ones nowadays.

I thought the babysitting one was good, not an all timer but solid golden age. I liked Homer parking in the fountain & Wiggum admiring the Yard King. 9 has good stuff but definitely feels off. I noticed Lisa the Skeptic began the show’s compulsion to have every wacky townsperson pop up at events whether it made sense or not. Why are Moe, Mr. Burns, Dr. Hibbert, & Lionel Hutz hanging around a mall construction site? They’re beginning the wearying requirement Sideshow Mel lurk around every crowd, that’s what.

If it weren't for the art it would have absolutely sucked balls, as it is it sucks balls while being pretty fun to look at. (I haven't actually watched Death Note so maybe it has references in it that I'd have appreciated more if I knew them, but I don't really trust Simpsons writers to make that any good either)

There is so, so much untapped horror media past and present that would make for great and memorable THoH segments like “The Shinning,” “The Devil and Homer Simpson,” and “Bart Simpson’s Dracula.” Instead, they continue to parody any pop culture phenomena from three years ago lmao

Krusty tends to show up in most crowd scenes; I think a good test of an effective scene is whether he is, or would be, standing out among other characters as visually outlandish. Really early with no recognizable (or on-model) characters is weird:  Krusty shows up and pops out because he's a clown, among other recognizable characters and some NPCS; good:    But if Krusty doesn't stand out, there's too much going on. You're now thinking specifically about Jacques and Freddie Quimby and Manjula instead of the crowd being recognizable but still able to read as "townspeople."
