I do think that even outside of the future episodes, the writers do have an idea that Bart will peak early and live most of his life as a burnout bum. But it's weird when they try to criticize Bart on those ground because he's still just a kid.

I wash myself with a rag on a stick :smug:

He says something like "Why would God give you a mom as hot as Lois and make you look like Peter?"

The worst episode is the one where Meg becomes a born again Christian and tries to convert seth macfarlane's self insert character Brian at a book burning.

I would argue that the episode where Lois becomes an anti-vaxxer is worse, especially considering the uncomfortably unnatural dialogue

I feel like AI voices/recasting are close at hand at this point.

It would certainly be less offputting, at least in the case of Julie Kavner

i took the bullet here to search if that was real and, sadly, it is, in fact, real. a treehouse segment but real all the same.

The timing on the fall is all sorts of hosed up too. She gasps, pauses for a beat, THEN stumbles backwards in shock. It just doesn't flow or feel natural at all.

Seriously, even :monocle: is more fluid & natural than that.

In a half-decent animation, she would have immediately gasped/screamed and then either fallen 1) onto the floor, or 2) into a laundry hamper that was close enough to her that she could knock it over without stumbling.

I was much, much older than I should have been before I knew the actual story of Streetcar and the joke behind the "kindness of strangers" song in the Simpsons

I always thought that the Streetcar Named Desire & Planet of the Apes musicals were funny but I didn't fully understand the concept of the joke until I was like 35, don't worry about it

i didn't know that the Dr. Zaius song was a parody of Rock Me, Amadaeus until 2014

(i'm almost 40)

I'm 36, I've never heard Rock Me Amadeus and I wouldn't know the Dr. Zaius song was a parody of it if my mom hadn't told me

Data Graham posted:

I'm also sometimes struck by how much effort they put into the lyrics and songwriting even of their dumb parodies. Like Krusty's version of "Send In the Clowns".

Send in the clowns
Those daffy, laffy clowns
Send in those soulful and doleful,
schmaltz-by-the-bowlful clowns.

That's good wordplay! Siddown Stephen

It was today, just now, that I learned that Krusty's version of Send in the Clowns is different from the original :monocle:

Ahhh! Francine! Seagulls! This time they could drive!

I really don't like seeing animals get hurt but AD mostly does it in ways that manage to tickle me, like the suicidal lemur or when Stan's hacking his way through the jungle to rescue his CIA students

I don't like seeing animals get hurt either, but Stevearino juggling & eating cats' heads and Francine casually drowning an ortolan are some of my favorite American Dad bits.

I never realised that she was quite so old even when Marge and Homer were canonically in their mid-20s.

Is she especially old there though? I mean, if Marge has been grey as a mule since she was 17 (I forget whether or not that's canon), maybe it's a family trait

Bart was sounding off in the episode as well.

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.

i wonder if someone had to be talked down from including a climax in that scene

Wasn't there an episode where Homer DID come though? I mean, please don't look too far into it, I sure as hell didn't, but I feel like a podcast mentioned it or something. :gonk:

I had a friend recently tell me at a gathering lately that the current season of the Simpsons is actually pretty good.

I feel like people have been saying "THIS season of The Simpsons is good, actually" for like, the past five seasons. Granted, I haven't watched every episode from every season they've referenced, but after seeing promos, I don't trust them.

Also it's like a full minute of zero comedy or anything that could be considered humorous

Moe goes from having nostrils to not having nostrils to having nostrils again, that was kind of funny I guess
