My wife is watching the Emmies (Emmy's?), and Homer was brought on as the original host of the show. He awkwardly, slowly walks across the stage, and starts giving a speech with literally no jokes in it, getting only two sentences in. Then a piano falls on him, the end. (Then someone else gets up from the audience and starts to take over.)

This is the first new Simpsons I've seen in like a decade, and man does his voice seem marbley.

His voice sounds better than the rest of the cast still but god drat that clip sucks. Awkward as hell animation.

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop

it's actually scathing commentary on the emmys and the current state of hollywood. :smug:

It's very reflective of the show at the time. Bart is a rascal, Homer is abusive, and no one cares about Lisa. It's dated, but there's a ton going on.

It's definitely unfunny, but I don't know if it's painful. Maybe it's just not as painful as the 2019 one.

The 1990 one was fine for what it was. I'd bet it was pretty awesome in a Roger Rabbit kind of way to audiences at the time.

The 2019 one seems half assed and like a complete waste of time.

Even if you think the comedy is dated and the characterizations off, at least they attempted comedy and characterization. The show was very much still trying to find its legs in 1990 and the golden age had yet to really begin. And as I said before, there's just a million more things happening here than in the 2019 clip. Nothing about that is "The Simpsons". You could have replaced Homer with literally any character from any media franchise, regardless of how minor, and it would have fallen as flat.

I saw an episode last night from season... 30? (God help us). They were just doing huge swathes from To Kill a Mockingbird, at one point showing a clip (not animated) from the movie on the Simspons' TV.

A few of the jokes were good, at least chuckle-worthy. But the plot was just unbelievably scattered and pointless. It was like watching a show where the scenes had been written and assembled at random. It was that awful comedy sensation of watching something try way too hard and being totally lazy at the same time. (And Julie Kavner sounds like she's about to drop dead, holy poo poo).

They'd been doing that kind of thing for a while.

e: I cite this one only because I saw it live as a kid and couldn't believe how dumb and pointless that "slide" was. I'm pretty sure mixed animation/live-action on the Oscar stage dates back to like the 50s

Don't be freaked out. The real show ended like 20 years ago at the very least. Everything since then is just radioactive fallout and the mass distributive mental processing of a former counterculture.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I don't think i'm even going to bother watching this new season. I got a ton of patience for bad tv but it's just so god damned uninteresting in every way. It's not even good bad

I watched the premier in part because of this thread and my own morbid curiosity. It was... not good. The episode was pretty cringey, with Homer and Bart trying to make viral videos beating each other up and a random hipster trying to exploit them. I'd say it would almost qualify as the low point of the show if there weren't already so many strong contenders. Probably not gonna bother again.
