Lol
Imagine having parents that are such bitches that they're offended by TV and imagine actually respecting them after that and not purposely watching things they don't approve of to prove your dominance over them.

Also it's more of an impression of this brownface Peter Sellers character than an actual attempt at any sort of Indian accent

I don't hate the Mytharc conspiracy theory stuff as much as most but the Monster of the Week episodes were far far superior as MoW is the supreme format for a TV show.

Any show that runs for 30+ years is going to run out of ideas and crawl up it's own rear end sooner or later as OG writers drop out and new writers, who are probably fans of the show, take their place.

It's just that Simpsons used to be the one of the best shows on television so that drop in quality is more noticeable then if it would've happened to say Cheers or Perfect Strangers.

The existence of baseball makes American complaints about soccer being boring less convincing.

I mean yeah it is duller than dishwater and a lot of time nothing happens but the main purpose (like with baseball) is sitting around drinking beer and (unlike with baseball) doing a bit of rioting when you win and/or lose.

Anything is fun with enough alcohol and violence. If chess had hooligans it would be a lot more interesting.

I hope the final episode of Rick and Morty is just the original ball licking short presented with no context.


The penultimate episode should end on a massive cliffhanger that never gets addressed.

Random Simpsons thought:
We learn in one episode that Homer has an extra protective layer around his brain which suits him well in his decision to embark on a boxing career until he faces the world champion, Dredrick Tatum.

Yet in another episode when Uncie Herb comes to visit he punches Homer in the face when he answers the door and drops him with a single punch. Something even Tatum couldn’t do. I’ve come to the conclusion that Herb is hard as gently caress.


Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

It's that sitcom-y thing where the audience grows to love the characters so the writers start to write the characters as best friends in-universe, even though that doesn't make sense.

Yeah

I'm not a huge fan of the UK office but that show understood that David Brent was a horrible person. The American had that for like one season before pivoting to make their Brent/Scott more of a awkward but loveable doofus. Like they were worried that having an unlike character front and center would confuse the audience.

I wasn't allowed to stay up late enough to watch The Simpsons, but I distinctly remember walking into the living room right at this moment and all three of us dying laughing instead of me getting sent right back to bed.

Simpsons was on about 19:30 on Friday over here.

I.e. several hours before any imaginable bedtime. How late was it shown where you were at.

99,99999% of The Simpsons predicting the future is just them commenting on current events but nothing has changed so it comes off as predicting the future not just commenting on poo poo that doesn't change because our society is stagnant and dying.

What are good cartoons still airing? Bob’s burgers is a joyless slog, lower decks is ok but a bit excessive on substituting references for jokes, Beavis and Butthead’s return was excellent no complaints there but that season is done.

Bluey is good. A bit toddler centric but the parents are actually really well characterized and they slip in a ton of jokes the target audience has no chance of getting.

Carl's Icelandic upbringing is first mentioned in season 14 when he remarks that a bright night reminds him of his Icelandic boyhood.

A decent throwaway joke.

The Iceland episode itself is ok I guess.

Simpsons in it's prime was genuinely one of the best shows to ever be on television.

Which makes its continued decades long death slog towards obscurity even more tragic.
