Some goons overreact. Go figure.
Morrissey and his manager have responded.

Morrissey's manager posted:

Poking fun at subjects is one thing … but when a show stoops so low to use harshly hateful tactics like showing the Morrissey character with his belly hanging out of his shirt (when he has never looked like that at any point in his career) makes you wonder who the real hurtful, racist group is here.

Robert Goulet was good. Mark Hamill was pretty good even though it was kind of a garbage episode.

Celebrity cameos were generally good as long as the cameo was relevant to the plot and the celebrity was poking fun at themselves.

I always appreciated how South Park treated celebrity voices early on. Celebrities would reach out to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, eager to do a voice, and they'd say "Sure, you can be a dog or a turkey and make animal sounds". That's how George Clooney ended up as Stan's dog.

I think it was Jerry Seinfeld who had his people contact them about doing a voice, and they responded with "Sure, we'd love to have him do a voice. He can be Turkey #6." Seinfeld's people respond with something like "This is Jerry Seinfeld we're talking about, he's the biggest comedian in the world, you'll have to do better," so Stone and Parker came back with "Fine, he can be Turkey #2."


I'm just going to assume it's an anime set in Victorian London where Conan the Barbarian is inexplicably a detective. He looks and dresses exactly like Arnie in the Conan movies, only he also wears a dearstalker and smokes a pipe.

If the Simpsons were a British show, there would be six episodes only, and it would be revered as one of the world’s funniest comedies of all time.

But it’s an American show and :lol: :lmao: just doesn’t know when to call it quits.

It's because the funniest ones are so brief. Look how many episodes, total, of Fawlty Towers there are (12). Or Black Books (18), etc. Nobody cares how many episodes of The Vicar of Dubly there are or aren't.

If Last of the Summer Wine hadn't gone on for so long then what were we supposed to watch at grandma's house in the 90s? Challenge TV hadn't been invented yet so it's not like we could have game shows 24/7!!

It's true though, for every Fawlty Towers there's probably like at least five My Familys in British TV.

Has there ever been a good celebrity cameo, even in the classic era? Someone who's playing themselves, not a written character? I feel like at best they don't add anything
Ringo's reading of "I hung it on me wall" is worth a chuckle I guess

Also, are...are people here seriously grandstanding about not having heard of Detective Conan? Really?

Yeah, I think there are quite a few fun cameos in classic episodes: Leonard Nimoy, Bob Newhart, the baseball players, Mel Brooks, Sting, Aerosmith, the three surviving Beatles, Tom Jones, Linda Ronstadt, Adam West, Barry White, everyone in Krusty Gets Kancelled, The Ramones, Ernest Borgnine, Conan O'Brien, James Woods, James Taylor, Buzz Aldrin, Mickey Rooney, everyone in Homerpalooza, and there's probably more I'm forgetting. Some of these added very little to the episodes overall, but still had at least one good joke.

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I'm driving my automobile?
So I watched the latest episode, and it's mostly horrible.

However, I will say the song Everyone is Horrid Except Me (And Possibly You) is actually a pretty good Morrissey pistache. Bret from Flight of the Conchords was involved, so that helps. But I feel that it was overall good work in an otherwise dreadful episode.

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
I love the way she drew that comic. I like that it's viscerally "ugly". I find that enjoyable.

Captain Star is so repulsive it gives me instant colic pains and it's perfect that way.
