PallasAthene posted:Does anyone else think that the episode where Mr. Burns gets all those real ballplayers to work at the plant so they could beat the Shelbyville plant's softball team at softball was a textbook example of guest stars working out perfectly? It feels like the writer's didn't really kiss the players' asses the way they started to with later celebs. Or maybe the baseball players didn't take themselves as seriously as later celebs did. ehh. those work well and are great.

Randarkman posted:Lisa is the worst. yeah, almost all episodes that focus on her suck. it also sucks that none of the new ones even make fun of her bullshit anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnRt_JEoBRU they did it in the old days. but now she is just the lovely rear end in a top hat liberal character.

Izzhov posted:I would kinda like to see Evil Morty come back tho. I wanna know what that dude's deal is I kinda assumed he was ricks Original morty or some weird poo poo like that. fish and chips and dip posted:I remeber watching the Frank Grimes, Tamzarin and the Lord of the Flies episodes when they aired (in Norway so like a year later than the US I guess?) and enjoying them finding them funny. The first episode I watched which really made me think something wasn't right was the death of Maude, that was really strange and awkward at the time. I still kept at watching Simpsons though although not as regularly as before enjoying the odd modern episode (24 minutes,The Seemingly Never-Ending Story som others as well). The episode which really put the final nail in the coffin was the myPod episode, after that one I've stopped watching Simpsons and that was in 2008. i liked the frank grimes episode, but i can understand why people hate it. it was definitely the beginning of the end of the Simpsons. like at one point the Simpsons despite being lovely people sorta, they were at least well meaning and loved each other. there was a heart to the show. now its just family guy where everyone is a mean rear end in a top hat with few redeeming qualities. Drink-Mix Man posted:I feel like Rick shouldn't really be at the center of an episode. He's best when he's the setting, a force of nature that all the other characters have to deal with. this.

Drink-Mix Man posted:Were the Simpsons mean lovely assholes in that one, though? I'd say Homer was portrayed more as self-centered in an oblivious childlike way, with the added gag that they point out for the first time that he does pretty well for a guy that should be dead or in the gutter several times over from his stupidity. yeah. your right, i stated it wrong. i was just saying it was the beginning of the mean spiritedness, even though thats one of my favorite episodes. sweetmercifulcrap posted:I think the Frank Grimes episode carries a lot more weight as an adult because no matter what level of success you have achieved, there will always Homers doing better than you. this. it was clever and funny. now he is just a retarded uncaring rear end in a top hat

Strudel Man posted:Why is Ned Flanders punching people. this. honestly the thing that pisses me off more then smoothbrain jerkass homer, is rear end in a top hat fundi conservative ned flanders. in the golden years, ned was the steriotype of the "Reagan" christian ideal american but he was also genuinely a nice person to a extreme fault. now they have just made him the mouth peace for lovely evangelical poo poo and he is a passive aggressive dick. Wizard Master posted:The Simpsons is about to being its 29th season. And guess what. You can look forward to a Game of Thrones parody, and Ed Sheeran plays a musician named Brendan whom Lisa falls for — and, yes, Brendan will do some singing. isnt it kinda late for a GOT parody. the show has one season left and is on its way out.

get that OUT of my face posted:to me, the draw of golden era ned flanders was that he was so nice and caring that homer looked like a real piece of poo poo by hating him for seemingly no reason. they played off each other well yeah. old flanders was just a nice guy who happend to fundie beliefs. now he is just a fundi. also the old show/movie jokes have aged pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjqc1hqbRmA

FactsAreUseless posted:The Simpson family becomes helplessly stuck in traffic while returning from a ski vacation. To pass the time, Bart, Lisa and Maggie spend hours playing the repetitive and noisy game "Bonk-It", much to Marge and Homer's annoyance. Homer loses his patience and throws the toy out the window, where it is crushed by passing vehicles. By a twist of fate, another father throws his children's Bonk-It out of a car window, and it lands in the hands of the Simpson children. Eventually the batteries run out, but Bart plugs the toy into the car's cigarette lighter, causing it to play even faster. His patience long gone, Homer smashes the Bonk-It with his foot, but it becomes lodged under the brake pedal. He loses control of the vehicle, hits a deer reminiscent of Bambi and ends up on a frozen lake, where a mysterious person drags them out. When the family wakes up, they discover that the mysterious person who saved them was Cletus. Cletus tells Homer about moonshine, and invites him to taste the latest batch. Homer impresses Cletus and his hillbilly friends with his moonshine-tasting skills and is invited to be the judge of a moonshine competition.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhe3vSe-mmw

to me rick and Morty is very hit or miss. i find some of it genuinely inventive and funny with how it plays with sci fi poo poo but alot of it kinda falls into stupid long drawn out jokes with no pay off OR some weird drawn out "gently caress the audience and myself" harmon episdoe. i do think the newer episodes are better outside that a couple of them though. then again my humor style veers AQTH/smiling friends type poo poo to old clever Simpsons stuff.

Mantis42 posted:It was better when the non Jerry family members had different personalities and weren't all just variations on Rick. Or when Rick didn't immediately undercut all tension, drama and humor by breaking the fourth wall to explain that the story they wrote is cliche or whatever. yeah pretty much. weirdly enough i genuinely liked the evil morty(including the ending which alot of fans hated apperently) and rick-Morty based society stuff. the decoy one was solid too. again hit or miss. someone said it in another thread that its very much the Monty python of millennials/zoomers. can be funny and genuinely clever but the fans are obnoxious and quote the least funny parts constantly and use it as substitute for humor. honestly the funniest rick and morty was this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6yg4ImnYwA&t Dapper_Swindler fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Apr 18, 2022 |

Empty Sandwich posted:I love this style of humor but I do not know anybody else who does. i dont mind it. i like it when its well done, like the whole final to rick and Morty newest season is that but it clicks and works. my issues were "lets make a Beth and jerry marriage is poo poo" episodes over and over which he seems to have gotten away from. that's less against him and more that i am tired of every relationship being a giant sinking ship in adult animation and every couple hates each other. i don't mind it when it works as a mutually destructive horror show but not every show is moral oral or helluva boss or etc which can pull them off by not making it just a one note joke that gets repeated ad nauseum until you just hate the characters. i mean they loving doing all the time on the simpsons now. like in the golden age they had those episodes but they made it more then just a "its time for this plot joke again". also Cusack cocreated smiling friends which is also great.

je1 healthcare posted:True, but the 80s began and ended with recessions and crime rates were 3x higher than in the 2000s. Wholesome family sitcoms remained dominant then because people sought TV as a form of escapism, to see what their real lives were missing. yeah its interesting to see whats edgy and then it becomes normal. like south park and family guy are main stream and all kids of adult swim and indie animated poo poo would make the 80s conservatives legit stroke out from moral panic. PostNouveau posted:This is something else that was perceived as more profane back then because it was thought to imply oral sex "You suck (dick)". Not sure if that origin was ever really true or if it has been totally lost in the years since. yeah, the implication was worse back then, now. what i find interesting is the GOP has been slinking back into the moral majority bullshit harder again, so lol if we see chuds ranting about cartoons again like the bad old days.
