Applewhite posted:I like when Rick turned himself into a piclkle It's weird that this is the short-hand episode for it being a wacky meme show where Rick is a god because he gets loving annihilated by the family therapist at the end of that episode. It's one of the most on-the-nose episodes of the show.

I'd give Rick & Morty a try but I'm afraid that I'd come down with a condition that makes me incapable of being able to shut the gently caress up about Rick & Morty, as evidenced in this thread.

Apparently not watching Rick and Morty also leads people to develop that condition, though, as evidenced in this thread and, indeed, your post.

Alan_Shore posted:Ok let's get off Rick and Morty and check this out: classic Futurama is more rewatchable than classic Simpsons. Nah. I still watch classic Simpsons a few times a year and have yet to reach a point where I'm sick of them or feel like I never have to watch them again. Whereas while 1/3rd of classic Futurama episodes are unquestionably brilliant, the other 2/3rds are just kinda there. I also find a lot of the humor in Futurama lands more in the realm of "memorable and quirky but not necessarily laugh out loud funny", comparable to the more filler-esque jokes in classic Simpsons. A lot of it also borders on 00's lolrandom humor, for instance, using Bender as a comedy crutch. "We need a joke here... have Bender say something random and crass." But having said all that, the original run is still probably the second best animated sitcom ever to me.

But seriously, classic Simpsons just has a level of execution Futurama rarely hit. Like, in And Maggie Makes Three - the gag about Homer marketing they bowling alley was perfect. Just great A+ execution from beginning to end. Futurama just doesn't hit those same highs as often as the Simpsons did.

Rick's shittiness may feel played down by all the genius and whackiness of his schemes, but pretty much since that whole destroying his home world with Morty's love potion thing, the show has been pretty clear on portraying him as super hosed up and anyone who ignores that has got their own issues.AHH F/UGH posted:lol I almost can't believe that of all things, they chose a Whitey Bulger reference to introduce candlepin bowling. Like yeah he was a really infamous name in the city's crime history, but the name isn't common nor particularly tied to Boston's culture as a city. It's pretty tasteless and gross considering who he is.

Eh, I haven't watched since season 2 but the show constantly framed Rick as the coolest, smartest, and correctest with everyone else just being too naive or stupid to deal. The occasional "actually no Rick is a man of contrasts" moment felt like an afterthought to cover their asses.

The occasional "actually no Rick is a man of contrasts" moment felt like an afterthought to cover their asses. Rick frames himself as such. It pisses off everybody around him including his family giving him a place to live. He's always right about stuff to do with science and tech and the way alien civilizations only he has visited work. When it comes to basic human interaction and giving a poo poo about others he fails across the board and people resent him for it.

Cemetry Gator posted:I will loving fight you! When the Simpsons was really just running in high gear it would get into these grooves sometimes where they'd bring the tone up and keep it up, so the audience is just laughing in a sustained way, and those were some of my favorite memories from watching it as a teen with my family. Like one of my favorites was in "Homer Loves Flanders", where they're all gathered around the table reading the letter with the "bosom" line in it, and they're all cracking up as they stumble through it. Of course all of us watching are all helplessly laughing too; and then we see Marge is glowering, and takes them to task for mocking Ned's openness. So she storms out of the kitchen (as the rest of them keep guffawing), gets just around the corner, and *snrrrk*. My mom, who hardly ever reacts to stuff on TV, and had held out until then, just about doubled over laughing. That whole scene, the way it orchestrated the laughs and played the audience like a fiddle, always stuck with me. It's not just about individual gags, it about how they were able to build an entire scene and play with the tone and keep you going so the jokes piled up on top of each other. A similar one was "Don’t get upset, it’s not the end of the world. We all love that quilt, but we can’t get too attached to… BLAAAUHGHGH MY COOKIE"

I watched the Star Wars short. It's bad. No dialogue in it which made me realize that they may have picked Maggie for the shorts because then they don't have to pay the cast for dialogue.

I just rewatched the Homer Loves Flanders episode because someone mentioned it before, which is pretty unique. It's actually a fairly weak story, just Homer starts doing stuff with Flanders because he wants tickets. But the side bits "They were no longer little girls... they were little women.", Rappin' Ronnie Reagan, "How are my boys doing, Homer?... They're fine" and the Terminator 2 chase scene, so many good little clips that are basically propping up a weaker story. The thing I really loved was how the golden years always mentioned how Homer apparently smells really bad, even complete strangers point it out. Those sorts of jokes really and speaking of how when it was hand-drawn the animation was weird but charming:  Homer's pupils, Marge's hair is too short, Lisa's mouth is weird, Bart looks like he was drawn by *me* from memory, etc AHH F/UGH fucked around with this message at 21:52 on May 13, 2021 |

Everyone's eyes were massive in season 5, especially Homer's. I reckon I could identify a season 5 episode on that alone, if I didn't already know which episodes were season 5 and which ones weren't due to being a huge geek.

It's not just the eyes, the pupils in seasons 4 and 5 are sometimes the size of nickels. I like it though, the goofier off model look matched the tone of the show at the time.

Riptor posted:The lack of unnecessary super-detail and inexplicable shadows everywhere is just refreshing This is why I gag whenever a screenshot from a modern episode is posted here. A consistent and simple color palette will always be better than the lovely shading and superfluous detail modern episodes have. The older episodes are also vibrant and pleasant to look at, whereas modern episodes are just so... dull and drab. Major poopbutts.
