Homer causes a massive blackout by using so much electricity for his Bitcoin mining operation that Mr. Burns decides to get in on the game by raising electricity prices and building a second power plant.

FoiledShenanigans posted:"No dad, thats Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto!" "No dad, that's <celebrity role> <celebrity name>" "Hi Lisa" Is such a trope, and I can hear it in my head EVERY TIME. Was there multiple episodes this actually happened in? Was it just one earlyish one that just stuck with the collective unconscious? I'm curious of the actual origin of the phrase.

Smiling Friends had its moments but like most Adult Swim stuff I wish it was like 20% less weird and gross.

I was watch Bart vs Australia last night and Homer was messing with the embassy guards and got punched and I was reminded of when nu Simpsons did that joke worse, like Homer was messing with soldiers in (China maybe but I really don't remember?) and they did the joke worse and explained it too much (no that's the Buckingham palace guards!) I know it was discussed in this topic but I don't remember where and I'm trying to find that scene, anyone remember?

I vaguely remembered what you were talking about (...but why???), so I Googled it and found out they were Shaolin monks, not soldiers. The episode is "Goo Goo Gai Pan" from season 16. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzt0xBXTNhI The same episode also had... this...  gag(??):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3CSh66G8jg You Are A Werewolf fucked around with this message at 00:49 on May 24, 2021 |

Have any Simpsons staff expressed regret over slandering nuclear power to the extent they did?

lurker2006 posted:Have any Simpsons staff expressed regret over slandering nuclear power to the extent they did? I don’t think the writers ever slandered nuclear power in itself. They showcase how awful and neglectful Mr. Burns is toward his plant, is both parsimonious and greedy with money, and rapaciously hoards any money he may come into to fix the plant’s problems, which only exacerbates the plant’s dilapidated state. He’s also too old, out of touch, and possibly senile to be running the plant anymore, but he won’t give it up. Most of the plant staff is also either incompetent or just doesn’t care. I mean, the safety inspector is Homer. Unless most nuclear power plants really don’t have a sector 7-B with a giant spider you can defeat with a bible verse and the writers lied to me. In which case, they totally slandered nuclear power.

The first couple of seasons were absolutely all about ridiculing and freaking out about nuclear power. Three-eyed fish, Smilin' Joe Fission, Homer constantly making pro-nuclear propagandistic statements while saying grace, etc. The early show all but heavily implied that the reason the Simpsons and the rest of the people in town were yellow and funny-looking was that they were some kind of atomic mutants The show was advertised as "America's Most Nuclear Family" for years

Is the spider a nuclear mutant, or just giant? Huh? Huh??? Heh. Got’cha

Three Mile Island was still relatively fresh as well. Cutting safety corners isn't exactly unheard-of in the nuclear industry given that they're own by private for profit corporations. Davis-Besse had a huge void in the reactor head in the early 00's that took a long time to detect due to inadequate inspections. They recently got tangled up in a bribery scandal with the state, too.

In the new one, Moe gets drunk with the guys for the first time and spills all the secrets of townsfolks that he learned from other bartenders, who he gets together with after hours to commiserate with and swap stories at a place called the Confidential (styled after whatever the hotel is called in John Wick with Ian McShane as a guest-voice). As punishment, the bartenders hunt down the guys and give them a serum that makes them unable to drink anymore. 3 months later, they get together, all sober and their lives have drastically improved. They go to laugh at Moe at his new job at an omelet bar, but they're so saddened by his plight that they ask him to return as their bartender for nonalcoholic drinks. Ian McShane finds out and is moved by their loyalty so he gives them the antidote. Homer refuses it but gets it forced on him anyway. Nothing offensively bad in this one but it wasn't funny either. OK maybe one terrible part where Moe fights off the town's bartenders using his mastery of his bar rag.

I mean, it's not good, but at least it doesn't sound like it was generated by a chatbot AI.
