Brother Entropy posted:the classic treehouse movie parodies were at least sticking to horror movies like the shining or nightmare on elm street. i think one of the last ones i saw before tapering off watching new episodes in the early 2000s had a harry potter riff and even then i didn't like that shift That one was a weird capper because it was after two really great segments, Hex and the City and House of Whacks.

 The second half is total nonsense and you can tell they had no idea where to go after Burns' castle. Some funny gags though.

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. And say what you will about the parodies, but I fuckin' love The Shinning to this day. I'm surprised they never did a Friday the 13th parody, considering they did Nightmare on Elm St. poo poo, they could've done it at Kamp Krusty, even.

Closest they got was Boy Scoutz N Da Hood. I mean it makes sense. Even in their absolute darkest Golden Age Treehouses-- King Homer eating people, the teachers killing kids and eating them, Willie getting lit on fire/strangling Martin, Homer hunting down his family in the Hotel, everyone turning inside out, Groundskeeper Willie constantly taking an axe to the back, Flanders' decapitated head calling out to Bart, Homer killing Zombie Flanders-- there was always an element of fantasy to act as a buffer. There really wouldn't be one for an F13/Halloween parody. Nowadays, or hell even by 2002 they wouldn't have given a crap, but in the early 90s? Yeah they were still easing into that sort-of thing.

That one is great but I find it suffers on rewatches. The only gag I still really love from it is Harry Shearer doing the announcer voice "and whenever something weird like that happens, we say it's good that Bart did that. Very very good." Treehouse V is the best one overall. The weakest segment is very arguably Time and Punishment (with the time travel toaster) and that one is loving ace.

The only thing that keeps that one from being an absolute win for me is that they couldn't fit in anything about Lisa finally going to a school worthy of her ability. Everything else about it is gangbusters.

In earlier seasons they would have a crowd of people who were just randos in the Simpsons style. In later seasons any incidental Springfield mob is Captain McAllister, Bumblebee Man, Sideshow Mel, Hans Moleman, etc. They have entirely disappeared up their own rear end, and did at least 10 years ago. God I wish the show had ended before 9/11.

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.
