It's just....naming a bunch of real shows.

If this occured in an earlier Simpson season, there would be 90% less pictures and they would all be parodies since, you know, that would actually be funny.

At least that's funny though, saying fox is garbage is better than a wall of shows and no joke

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?

Oh my god, look at how bad that joke is. Everybody knows they Fox only runs programming from 8-10, and that 10-11 is usually the local news. That's part of their programming.

Worst joke ever.

That’s from The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase from season 8.

Which aired in 1997 :suicide:

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?

Yeah I know but it's Jungle Boogie sung in a Roger voice and that specific version is the one I keep hearing.

... or did the original singer just sound insanely like Roger. Was Roger the original singer?! :ohdear:

It’s not the original Kool & the Gang recording, but a sound-alike.

It’s still :eyepop:ingly good, though.

:lol: my bad. There are some non-Disney properties on the wall of TVs, unless some of the shows I see listed there were produced by FOX, but aired on other channels like the CW.

I don’t know what the subject is supposed to be other than “modern Simpsons, no punchline.”

I could see "guess the plot from one screencap" being fun. I already cheated a bit and looked that one up, it's apparently an episode about TV recapping as a profession. I don't think I've ever entertained that as a concept before.

I mean, shouldn’t those TV screens have a soft glow emanating from them? Shouldn’t the man with his arms raised have a little more light on him and make him stand out a little better since he’s lost in the TV screens that should be glowing? Why is the room so flat and desaturated? Shouldn’t the room have at least a pinch more color like The Simpsons we all grew up with?

It’s such a dark and dreadful image.

Sterile and cluttered is surprisingly hard to pull off, especially with characters in-frame.

Remember when "Simpsons dark" meant being dynamically underlit with aggressive colors and harsh shadows?

Apparently it was a twitter thread about Marge's depressing life by Bob-Waksberg.

I never heard of it before now. It seems kinda dumb to me.

But I will always go to bat for that depressing Rebecca Sugar comic, so what do I know.

the whole 'what if Marge but sad' thing fit because it at least played off the thing fans talked about about how Marge's general arc is constant rehashes of 'Homer/her kids/etc does something lovely and Marge just...kinda accepts it and forgives them as if that's how that works'. Like, obviously Simpsons has always been just a cartoon sitcom so nobody gets 'arcs' to begin with but at least others get to explore other things, Marge just kinda goes from lovely event to lovely event shrugging and accepting it. The show itself even makes fun of it it's such a well known trope about the show.

'What if Lenny sad' means nothing because he exists for side jokes like 'my eye! I'm not supposed to get pudding in it!' and 'don't tell people how I live'.

"rararararara" contains the meaning of everything, kept in simple rectangular structures
I thought at first the comic chose Lenny as a reference to the protagonist of Memento, who is called Leonard, and whose story shares similarities with the comic and its themes. But on revisiting it I think I'm making connections that weren't intended...
