I know talking about more recent seasons is verboten in threads like this, but either this year or last year there was a whole segment of a Treehouse of Horror that was basically "Homer engaging in autocanibalism is hilarious" that kinda squicked me out.

Like, the whole joke was just Homer cooking and eating parts of his body.

The one where he had a donut for a head really made me cringe from ick

I love the old Treehouse episodes and loved them at the time because regular Simpsons was, more or less, buttoned down and realistic-ish - it was cool seeing the writers get to do weird, creative things with the world they built, not having to worry about canon.

The best one for me was the twilight zone one where Bart could warp reality.

Goddamn, I never realized what this was a spoof of. The one where Bart turns Homer into a Jack in the Box with his mind?

It was always familiar but I never figured out why. I think I thought it was a parody of The Omen.

Squalid posted:

I feel like the sliding continuity is part of the problem with later Simpsons. The Simpsons were created to be relatable in the context of the early nineties. However as society has shifted in the meantime, the setting has become increasingly divorced from everyday American life. Homer sustaining a two car single income suburban household working an industrial job with nothing but a high school diploma is an anachronism. For grandpa Simpson to make sense today he'd have to be a Vietnam veteran rather than a WWII veteran, and Principal Skinner in turn would have had to have fought in the Iraq War. However the cultural significance of these conflicts is radically different, and that has important implications for characterization. The result is the show has become unmoored from reality, as it's tethers stopped making sense the tone became increasingly cartoonish, and characters and events became unrelatable.

The word comes into English from Spanish orégano, which is from Latin orīganum, ultimately coming from Ancient Greek ὀρίγανον (oríganon).

So the American pronunciation more closely hews to the original word. But British English apparently doesn't like words with the first syllable unstressed, so in England you don't often hear people say garage like a la-di-da Mr French Man

That's not quite it though?

After hearing an Italian pronounce Orégano I think it's more about stress. Americans put the stress on the first e, so they say it like Ore(h)-gano whereas British English speakers put the stress on the a, so we say it like Ore-ga(h)-no. The e seems to have the same sound.

Something something voiced e, unvoiced a. I don't remember much phonology terms.

I would have said Americans put stress on the second syllable though. Like to me it sounds like Gar-a(h)ge with a softer g, versus the British Ga(h)r-age with a harder j sound at the end.

You enter the living room when you want to live and the family room when... something something. I don't remember the joke I was going to make.

Anyway I did a Simpsons watch a year or two ago and got through season 1 to 7. I dropped out halfway season 7 because it just lost a lot of the magic and it was starting to feel very tired, I have no idea why. I think it was the point when they stopped having plots and started to have a series of scenes that were adjacent set ups for jokes, all loosely thread together.

You can really see the progression of the Seasons like this:

4 -- Everything is firing on all cylinders and in as perfect a balance as you'll ever get
5 -- Things go bigger and wackier; Homer goes to space, Bart gets an Elephant, etc.
6 -- Still out there but they make a dedicated effort to scale back and keep character dynamics the focus, even if the plots are still pretty escalated and wild
7 -- Throwing whatever at the wall-- Grandpa Abe's WWII adventure, Troy McClure episode, Homer's Mother, George W. Bush, gently caress it we can make it work
8 -- Finally out of steam, train is coming to a halt, the first half is still great and there are classics sprinkled til Homer's Enemy, which is basically where the show dies
9+ -- Welcome to the afterlife

Yup. Homer goes to space was the last one I remember. The "How is the launch going" "All these machines are for TV ratings" gag had me falling out of my chair.
