the decline with the simpsons started when characters started learning life lessons instead of being awful and learning nothing. edit: marge be not proud was a foul sign of things to come, but even then that episode has some classic jokes in it, thrillho etc

I wonder what the latest instantly recoqnizeable Simpson quote would be? I don't just mean a funny line, but one you could say a loud and most people would know it. Classic quotes like "Zee googles do nothing!" , and "Dental plan!", and "Stupid sexy flanders" would all be season 9 and below. Applewhite posted:Just you wait. Within our lifetime, the sliding chronolgy will have Homer and Marge as millenials. Won't be a terribly long wait either. Home already went from being a hippy to being in a weezery grunge band, when he met marge.

I was thinking "stupid sexy flanders" may have been a little after season 9, and it is probably a good contender for the latest instantly recognizable simpsons quote. nomadologique posted:ok dudes this is now the simpsons and monty python quote center, please adjust your posting strats appropriately They taste like....Burning.

A lot of things that I hate like the jockey trolls and Milhouse's dad getting his arm sliced off would've been hilarious in a Halloween episode. Also, both Matt Groening and Harry Shearer have gone on the record that they despise The Principal and the Pauper. Shnag posted:I wonder what the latest instantly recoqnizeable Simpson quote would be? I don't just mean a funny line, but one you could say a loud and most people would know it. Stupid Sexy Flanders was in season 11.

Home already went from being a hippy to being in a weezery grunge band, when he met marge. there was an episode last season with a flashback where homer and marge were in the kiss army complete with gene simmons makeup when she was pregnant with bart, so i think they're trying to walk it back again that was the same episode where mapple suddenly changed to apple and they spent half the episode talking about how great apple products are

cams posted:4 and 5 tie for best seasons After looking up Season 5 I learned that "Secrets of a Successful Marriage" is a season 5 episode, though I would have placed it post season 10. Also, "Make Room For Lisa" is a season 10 episode, though I would have named it as one of the more classic ones. ("Look, Daddy! A whale egg!")

If it counts as a "line," "OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD" was from season 12 or 13.

Sherry Bobbins was season Eight in spite of being more thematically approrpriate to season 10+ "Join the Navy!" is season 12. "You keep scoring while my back is turned" is season 13.

Applewhite posted:Sherry Bobbins was season Eight in spite of being more thematically approrpriate to season 10+ That was a poo poo episode, but it feels more like an "odd-one-out" episode than a "this is when things fell apart" episode you know what I mean? Of course knowing what we know now, you could totally look at that episode and think "WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!"

I always found later episodes of the Simpsons are more funny the second time you watch them. Somehow they don't ever seem to hold up on a first time viewing, which is usually the other way around with a lot of shows.

The Monkey Man posted:"Gay for Moleman" was from season 16. Nobody likes Milhouse! edit: Also, that guy in the army uniform at the gay bar was, in fact, gay for moleman. He literally scooped him up and took him home. Couldn't find a clip of it. edit again: Found it. Crappy quality though, and I guess he more of dragged him off then scooped him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohcfJmpFz4Q Shnag fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Nov 20, 2014 |

Season 9 was definitely the turning point. I did think the Hit And Run game that came out well after was pretty funny and a good Treehouse of Horror-type storyline, but I haven't played that since my early teens.

I think I am a stupid masochist. i do to, i think part of it is being a spergy completionist and the other is that it isn't completely impossible that it'll get funny again. I do think it has gotten better than the dregs of the late teen seasons, even if its hardly noticeable.

But...that's the entire point of his character. It's sort of implied that he's constantly switching careers because he's too sleazy and inept to stick with anything permanently.
