Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
The episode where they had a race horse.

Lmao that homer raped by panda was not some kinda standout terrible lowest point but a forgotten blip that doesn't even make the shortlist of worst episodes

Oh man, I forgot about that episode. That was pretty bad.

maybe they should show a Conway Twitty video to spend 5 minutes

I prefer the Family Guy Conway Twitty thing to some of the Simpsons clips in this thread, to be honest.

Got a free two week trial of youtube TV, which includes FXX, and I believe FXX has all Simpsons episodes on demand. So I'm gonna binge watch seasons 3 through 9. Good times.

I could maybe watch 2, but 1 is just not watchable.

Because the Simpsons is part of a thing called satire. So it's almost like the joke is that because Apu is Indian his intelligence and hard work is not fairly rewarded in America where as our protagonist homer is a Caucasian male who is a loud, rude, alcoholic who is rewarded for his behavior and fails upwards his entire life. It's almost like the humor is making a point about American culture.

I don't think that's the joke though. It's more that many or most Simpsons characters are stereotypes. A white man being loud and rude and dumb is as much a stereotype as Apu working at a convenience store and having an arranged marriage is. Cletus, the acne ridden, screechy-voiced teen, etc. are all stereotypes. The fact that you see Homer as being an accurate depiction of white males, and not also a stereotype is deeply disturbing.
