i think the funniest episode of american dad was probably the one where one of roger's personalities splits off, becomes a goody two shoes, and ends up dating an audrey from little shop of horrors analogue it was also funny in a more recent episode that they revealed he has a personality whose twin brother is human, and their mom is another one of his personalities

Plan Z posted:Even modern Family Guy can have episodes that I won't immediately turn off until in the middle they get the guy with "the voice" to just do some rambling 3 minute gag out of nowhere and I'm out. Can you give an example? I'm curious, and I still watch Family Guy on a regular basis because I'm curious to see what direction it'll go in/how much worse it'll get.

New Yorp New Yorp posted:I've always found it to be a very dull show. It's not painful to watch, but there's nothing about it that makes me want to watch it. There's a lot of jokes where my reaction is, "Yes, that certainly was an attempt at humor." I 100% agree with you. I've given it several chances and I haven't found it funny or interesting at all.

i really like seeing people who know about art talk about how simpsons animation has changed, because i don't know a god damned thing about art -- i only know that what i'm seeing now isn't as good as what i used to be seeing also, the college professor bit made me literally lol at work. so much greatness once upon a time

Plan Z posted:Wow that thing is kind of exemplary of what's wrong with most of modern Simpsons writing. At first, you think maybe it's mocking the idea of resurrecting celebrities for our amusement, maybe it's a rip on the soullessness of the tech industry. But then there's an attempt at shock humor that's not all that shocking and the slow, stilted delivery takes out any possible bite. The joke goes on way too long and overstays its welcome with lots of post-script and the comedy was also nonstop. just constant jokes of all kinds, with great pacing. I miss that kind of art

Data Graham posted:Susan Boyle sure is a joke that aged well on top of being not stupid and tone-deaf to begin with the susan boyle episode was the one that made me quit futurama altogether also, fry & leela's relationship made so much more sense in the pre-cancelation seasons. it went from "leela's cyclopean situation has given her abysmal self-esteem & she thinks fry's the best she can do" to "leela is fry's soulmate". also also, i consider jurassic bark the worst pre-cancelation episode. cloying dreck.

I have a vague recollection of The Beast with a Billion Backs but that's about it. the only things i remember about the futurama movies are the "trinity's going to war" song which occasionally gets stuck in my head, and all that weird Amy & Leela centaur stuff that mostly seemed like geek fetish fanservice

Applewhite posted:Is American Dad still good? It was still going really strong the last time I watched but I sort of fell out of touch with it at around the point Jeff was trying to get back from space. yes, absolutely. some of my favorite episodes of the entire series (shell game, oretron trail, census of the lambs, death by dinner party) are from the most recent season, but one of my least favorite episodes (mean francine) also is. this is excellent for the 15th season of any television show. SweetMercifulCrap! posted:I agree that American Dad has had a fair share of brilliant moments, but for every good episode there's like three where: this is true, however 1) it's still hilarious like 99.9% of the time, and 2) the episode where he volunteers to act as a puppet for steve's talent show but the face paint ends up killing or attempting to kill a bunch of people is loving great

RoboChrist 9000 posted:It was always weird and a bit uncomfortable when Futurama would do obvious fan service and fetish poo poo. But it was a bit more tolerable because the writing was better (I think we can all agree that however you feel about Futurama’s later seasons or how its original run compares to the Golden Years, that its original run was better than Zombie Simpsons) and because, you know, Leela and Amy were already a bit sexualized - and sexual - so it felt less out of place. Amazon Women In The Mood was a good episode but there was either an episode or a movie where Leela & Amy were like, wrestling centaurs or something and it weirded me out. I think it bothered me probably because the episode wasn't otherwise good enough to distract me from what they were doing.

Iron Crowned posted:Started season 2 and Bart Gets an F is a good episode that's not really funny. It's very emotional and Nancy Cartwright did amazing on Bart's voice. It's also an episode that was rough, because I was a lot like Bart, and in my 30's I found out I had ADHD the whole time. it was a great episode, and it resonated with me for the exact opposite reason. i was one of the "gifted" kids, learned to read early, got skipped ahead a grade and got all As, and it gave me a soft-er spot for the kids who were slower than me (god this sounds like such a humblebrag but whatever).

Phlegmish posted:I have to admit that it's only now that I realize the name is a Simpsons reference this is like when it finally hit me that "manic street preachers" is street preachers who are manic, not preachers who are on manic street Mind Loving Owl posted:That episode where it turned out all the male Simpsons have some weird early onset dementia always left a bad taste in my mouth. I mean, we have this whole big deal about Lisa's entire reason for being being shaken by not figuring out one stupid puzzle, and instead of just having her realize everyone has off days or weak points, we have it so all her lady relatives are geniuses in Lisa approved fields (no lady oil tycoons or Serena Joy style pundits) and every bloke in her family is doomed to go senile at age ten. It's weirdly mean-spirited in a way the show doesn't seem concious of. Also, Grandpa knows about this, but didn't remember all his cousins and aunts and the like were super successful? gently caress, i never had any issue with this episode and now i'm kind of bummed out & miffed Cubone posted:the only episodes I remember was, the teen angel learned he could time travel, so he traveled back in time to stop himself from eating the burger, but then the other kid ate it and became an angel, but it didn't stop the original teen angel being an angel for some reason, and the two of them traveled back again to stop them both from eating it, but then Jerry Van Dyne slipped on the burger and fell out the window and died. eventually everybody in the house was murdered by the hamburger. I don't remember how it was resolved this sounds absolutely loving hilarious  Razorwired posted:Teen Angel isn't even the worst post-Sabrina magical sitcom. this sounds incredibly dark LIVE AMMO ROLEPLAY posted:The episode that broke me for Futurama was the Close Encounters parody. Any time they try to do mythology stuff after the first cancellation it's dire. I should have stopped with the Susan Boyle joke though because that's as bad as they come. i'm STILL mad at the susan boyle episode. gently caress that episode.

Fojar38 posted:Elfo being hot for princess loving sucked though and I'm not sure what they were thinking aside from trying to do a Fry/Leela thing without realizing why the Fry/Leela thing worked here's the thing about fry & leela -- fry was a self-centered dumbass with absolutely nothing to offer, and leela had self-esteem so utterly abysmal (she was, after all, ostensibly the only one-eyed alien in existence who grew up as a lonely orphan) that she slept with zapp brannigan & nearly married that shapeshifter who treated her like dirt. the only reason the fry/leela thing "worked" is because she didn't know she could do better, unless both of their characters were COMPLETELY overhauled in the post-movie era. if that's the point you were trying to make, then i'm totally on board and apologize for my ramblings. edit2: i apologize for my ramblings anyway because i feel like i've ranted about the true nature of fry & leela's characters/relationship like eighty times in this thread, lol edit: Cubone posted:I found it funny as a kid and honestly as an adult I still find it funny at least in abstract the idea of a hamburger just massacring everyone is loving great, and now i want to see it YeahTubaMike fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Apr 12, 2019 |

Phil Hartman's death hosed me up not only because I was a huge fan of Newsradio & The Simpsons, but also because I was the same age as his kids when he was murdered so I thought a lot about how their lives were affected. Same with OJ Simpson's kids, although I wasn't a fan of his or anything.
