Libelous Slander posted:A Leslie Nielson comedy, and because he's dead and Scary Movie made money. It reminds me in some way of George Burns and Gracie Allen type stuff. Like the way Gracie will turn literally every sentence or phrase into a joke or goof. I've seen Airplane and I loved it, I guess I'll just go through his wikipedia and check out all of his comedies. Also I just watched that Lena Dunham clip and ugh. Simpsons celebrity versions don't usually look very much like whoever it's supposed to be, but drat, that's a new low. It looks more like how'd they'd draw a hipster asian woman. They also gave her the arm tat but not the turkey that defines it. If I were drawing her, that's where I'd start. Begin at the beefy arm and shoulder, work my way up to the frumpy spoiled princess face, scratch in some "hair wont fix this anyway" hair style. I don't know how they got from Lena to their little hipster fashion model design.

Libelous Slander posted:some are the best some kinda suck tbh and there is no objective way to select. Mr Magoo was loved by many but I didn't see it more than once. I really love Spy Hard but a lot of people rate it as one of the worst ones. The Naked Gun trilogy is great though and should be watched, just to see how it evolves over time. also if you haven't seen Hot Shots or Hot shots: part deux, you should check them out. Lastly, Loaded Weapon is a great B-comedy I don't think I saw any of those. Maybe Naked Gun when I was a kid, does he get mad about buying hotdogs in that?

vegetables posted:The idea of Marge being sad about Bart growing up is always mildly sinister to me given he has now been 10 years old for 36 years It's almost like they're daring themselves to slightly advance the show timeline.

Tarkus posted:It wouldn't be a bad idea for them to shift the show forwards in age. Homer and Marge being either quite old or dead, Bart/Lisa have kids of their own and family and they have a whole new set of problems and lore. It'd work. It could also help some folks retire, get some new talent a reliable gig. Homer should be a different kind of out of touch grandpa to his grandkids by now

Hedgehog Pie posted:I've caught one or two of the later Halloween episodes before and I seem to recall that being a recurring thing, that they more or less became straight horror with fewer funny bits for levity. In particular, there was more extensive and gruesome violence a la something like Rick and Morty. This then extended into non-Halloween episodes with bizarre poo poo like Sideshow Bob cutting his face off and Grampa's eyes falling out. I think it's best when there's a mix of straight horror tales with others that are more like surreal or bizarre Simpsons twists too weird for the normal episodes. It's the worst when it's just jokes and goofs on some horror franchise or story, just thoughtlessly running the cast through a parody.

Newest episode has Bart and Lisa get Margery a childhood parrot she apparently had but it was a menace and she hated it. I think Carl and Lenny might have new voice actors so why didn't they do that for Apu? Bart was sounding off in the episode as well. I think they forgot about Maggie that episode bc I don't think she shows up once but I guess I also forget Maggie because maybe she usually doesn't show up and I don't notice.

It really should not be hard to give him decent back story and characterization. Really embarrassing failure on their part on all around. YeahTubaMike posted:In the most recent episode I saw, he didn't sound like a 10 year old boy -- he sounded (understandably) like an adult woman. I don't know if that's the "off" you're talking about, but it was certainly the "off" that I observed. Yeah that's about it, lost the kind of high pitched back of squeeze throat boyishness.

I laughed at some of the bird gags, more than at Homer's whole fear mongering app arc.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Even Nintendo semi-retired Mario's voice because actors don't last forever. Eh, no way they swapped him because he can't do it anymore, he definitely can and does in his weird "we can't just fire Mario" job. They just got someone cheaper with a worse contract, who can initiate the Mario voice and do some extra work for way less. Nintendo probably also doesn't want its VAs having big notable names. they got lucky with Martinet just being a nice grandpa Mario. Idk the new Mario va name and I wouldn't be surprised if they just grabbed another next time or in a few games.

It's a lot of consoles and games he appears in over the years, different voice direction too I'm sure. There's a guy on YouTube who does excruciating doves into the voice actor history of Nintendo characters. The first couple were pretty interesting, but then because they were interesting he made money off of them and is now cursed to a lifetime of scraping increasingly obscure tidbits vaguely related to Nintendo audio to make obnoxious thumbnail algorithm fodder for.

Finally got around to some of the new Futurama episodes. At first I couldn't tell which were new new and which were from the previous revival. But then you definitely could tell by the voices where the new new began. Not quite Simpsons bad, but noticeable.

literally announcing their parody very slowly to the exclusion of actual visual gags or a few quick jokes is such hostile execution it feels like everyone involved had to be forced to do it under duress.

The Awesomesaurus posted:It’s weird how random parts of the new Simpsons are suddenly over-animated, but it still manages to look like poo poo. Haha yeah some of the hot dog mans laughter you could tell someone was doing their best to make it look like hearty laughter but then it just kind of sticks out, not used to seeing simpson do a micro expression in between frames for a scene laughing at their own bit.
