I'm like 99% sure this is a video call voice session Listen to the low quality compared to Carl's voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFCLt41eBi0 Also it's like a full minute of zero comedy or anything that could be considered humorous

Toxic Mental posted:I'm like 99% sure this is a video call voice session The audio quality might be part of the joke since it's a bad podcast, but I thought it was already public that most of the VAs filmed in home studios. There are some parts that sound like they could be jokes, but there's nothing funny about them.

He hasn't posted in a while, I assume it finally caught up with him and he is now committed to a mental asylum. Lol I like new episodes used to be can’t miss events especially the treehouse eps (and they delivered, dammit) & it was fun to read exhaustive recaps on SNPP. Now no one is recapping despite the door being wide open, and millions of viewers. Although I guess even the WCW still had millions of viewers at the end.

You can tell it's vaguely trying to be funny and topical, but there is just no humor in it whatsoever. e: sorry my monitor was turned off, but the clip still sucks

Oh ho ho you see the aztecs did not eat peanuts in great amounts, but instead corn, and they had to use a process of nixtamalization to make the nutrients more bioavailable, notably, niacin. Ah, but Moe, cavalier about foodstuffs that he is, has conflated even that with common cinnamon, as you would put upon french toast. Chortle chortle.

Despite the fact that for the last literally twenty years I've watched maybe thirty new episodes, and probably like three tops from the last five years, yeah I would watch it. But it would be more like watching a childhood friend finally be at peace after a long battle with a terminal illness.

When my sister and I used to watch the simpsons during the good years, we would cook up theories about why, in the opening titles, the family were in such a rush to get home to cram onto the couch to watch the TV. I had this notion that that would be a good ending for the series ("when they decide to end it, which must be soon - it's not like it'll keep going to series 20 or whatever" - BalloonFish, aged 11, 1998) to end with the intro sequence - in the last season up to the end Homer loses his position as safety inspector and goes back to the 'shopfloor' (so he's wrestling with the glowing carbon rod), Lisa starts biking too/from school etc. etc. And then there's some big TV moment or event or reveal that all the Simpsons have to be home to see. They all pile onto the sofa, but instead of the fanfare it just ends. Single-digit-season-number Simpsons could probably do something cool and funny with that idea. I wouldn't trust current Simpsons to.

Jimbone Tallshanks posted:If they said the Simpsons were ending would you watch the finale? It would probably be after everybody was talking about it, if it was some kind of big huge thing as a big celabratory party to cap off the series that people were talking about. And probably also it'd have to be an actual ending, and not just some weird pivot where they were making a spinoff show. BalloonFish posted:When my sister and I used to watch the simpsons during the good years, we would cook up theories about why, in the opening titles, the family were in such a rush to get home to cram onto the couch to watch the TV. It was representive of what they wanted you the viewer to be doing for it, much like how that was the point of the same original opening for The Flintstones, although there was also a broader point where the show was heavily reliant on viewers being familiar with other TV, because a lot of the humor was a commentary on the rest of television at the time. And of course, that entire TV ecosystem that The Simpsons was making jokes about in the 90s has been long dead. It was mostly dead ever since cable went mainstream and people were less likely to be familiar with the same small pool of things, and The Simpsons has been especially abysmal about the rise of steaming (which is as much the writers being old and out of touch as it is that audiences won't have the same baseline familiarity with everything). And that is reflected in the new opening being more about the town of Springfield as a whole and couch gags getting increasingly esoteric.

Make an entire episode that recreates the opening sequence. Cram in as much fanservice and goodbye nods as possible as each family member makes their way home. Make the reason they're trying to watch TV together something bittersweet. Something like this acknowledges that it's a final episode and it's over without trying to do something drastic, which it definitely should not.
