Their new favorite thing to do with Homer seems to be to have him go on overly wrong, too astute for his character rants. I guess it’s better than jerkass Homer though.

If that was going to work at all it should have been him talking to someone entirely different each time it cut, but the only time they did that gag was with him rambling to the dentist. This just has no sense of flow at all, there are no gaps in between his thoughts, so it just makes it look like Homer takes an hour break between every sentence.

There's a few things that The Simpsons as a general rule never actually shows, bodily fluids like poop, piss, and jizz come to mind, and another one would normally be actual sexual intercourse I guess we're out of that now Also the loving weird robotic animation of his eyes just sliding to the right, apparently that's thrusting

You know, Fox turned into a hardcore sex channel so gradually I didn't even notice.

Very much some writer (or maybe a couple of them) is very angry at some friend or relative and wants to go on a very passive aggressive rant that I don't think really fits with Homer's previously defined socioeconomic status. I guess the most un-homer thing is complaining about cucumber in signature cocktails. Riptor posted:why the gently caress were those orange slices drawn with that degree of detail I guess because they were worried people wouldn't interpret them as orange slices.

Lol yeah it’s fascinating how the writers room in the early seasons had a large number of single young guys who gambled on football so we got Lisa the Greek, and guessing many of them weren’t from rich backgrounds so the class struggle eps could be relatable. Fast forward to now when I’ve heard interviews with former staff mentioning Al Jean’s elaborate coffee orders & how one of the producers has so much money he collects dinosaur bones in his mansion.

Seems like the joke should have been Homer being completely oblivious to what a Destination Wedding was/is and the entire skit is everyone else filling him in with the most minute details that has him being more and more disillusioned by the prospect. Or go back to some old-fashioned Homer is dumb stuff. "It's in the Poconos!" "We've got to go all the way to that puppet-themed restaurant in Shelbyville?!" "That's Pinnochio's, and they're not puppets, they're marionettes, dad. The Poconos are in Pennsylvania." "SO IS DRACULA, LISA!"

Shorter than what we got, though.

No Dignity posted:Season 14 Homer Agreed. Several other golden era tactics are also available for this one: - Flashback/imagination sequence where something absurd and unexpected happened to him during a destination wedding or he thinks that it means something else (where's my burrito, "ballet") - He's vaguely moaning but doesn't really explain his problems with it so Marge doesn't get why (the end of You Only Move Twice with the Denver Broncos) - He does actually have a couple valid reasons but the rest of the family thinks it'd be fun so they're going anyway (New York episode maybe?) - The way he complains about it is the joke (defending the sugar pile, vaguely literary, impossible for current writers)

Marge could be talking to her girl pals in one scene. Marge: Can you believe it? A destination wedding? [List of humorous gripes about why they're bad, mostly silly petty things only Marge would care about. Like maybe she thinks the Poconos are full of "mountain folk", idk] I said "Forget it, sister" and threw out the invitation. I mean what kind of moron - Smash Cut to wide grinning Homer with Season 3 pupils Homer: You'll never believe it, Marge, a destination wedding! And in the Poconocas, you know how much you've always wanted to see the tropics.... Sorry I didn't go to the Ivy League I can't write the Simpsons

i would personally write it this way: Marge and Homer are in bed Marge looks at her phone. An animated letter reading "paperless invite" slides onto the screen, opening to reveal the text "Evite" Marge (sounding like the cryptkeeper): Oh! Homer, we just got invited to a wedding! In the Poconos! It's a destination wedding. Homer (exasperated): Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: "The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you", he said. "They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth." Homer's head beings shaking, impossibly fast, until it is a blurry smudge atop a torso.
