Milo and POTUS posted:when did they change up the animation for the simpsons anyway? Sometime in the mid-teens right? Those are bad seasons but at least they were kinda fun to look at. Now here's a dancing gay horse. It really went to poo poo in season 20, when the show moved to HD (a couple years after the movie)

this drat show’s been on so long there have basically been four or five incarnations of Apu’s character. first he was a surly convenience store clerk, no real defining characteristics besides being Indian (which at least wasn’t in the script) then in the golden age, the new writers took that bare character framework and actually used it for satire!! they made their token background character Springfield’s most enthusiastic capitalist — a price-hiking poonhound who fully embraces American opportunity, even when it means getting shot so many times you nearly miss work. then the late ‘90s came around, and another batch of new writers seemed to realize this was a bad look. so now Apu is a downtrodden computer scientist, the immigrant Springfield tries to deport. the details of this third incarnation are what chuds point to as the things that make Apu A-OK, despite the fact they sure felt like the writers compensating to make Apu more PC-acceptable?? then The Simpsons, the TV show, died, and Apu became a vehicle for octuplet jokes and now he’s disappeared, except as something we can all yell about on the internet, and for Al Jean and old man Groening to get pissy about in interviews it’s too late. Apu can’t be fixed. The Simpsons can’t be fixed. the show should be cancelled while 25% of its run can still be considered good emgeejay fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Oct 28, 2018 |

I watched the Lady Gaga episode shortly after air because I’d heard it was a new low, but I actually thought it was pretty okay I even laughed at a few bits — all of them very random physical gags, but those moments were at least animated with some energy and a sense of timing, which they’ve completely abandoned in the last few years (see MargeNod.gif)

fatal oopsie-daisy posted:For me this was one of the peak Simpsons animation segments. The weird angles when Homer is sucked into the portal, when Devil Ned points his finger and says “Hey Bart”. The movement of the donut pushing arm and how they alternate the movement speed of the chewing and shoving to make it more believable. Insanely good shadow work and color palette for the kitchen at night. So good. Brad Bird contributed to this segment — I believe he suggested the quick “flash” of Ned’s face when he disappears, which owns:

Bust Rodd posted:Futurama 1-4 is pretty much a perfect balance of strong writing, great sight gags, and the cast just genuinely killing it every time. The movies and the reboot are DOGSHIT, with maybe 3-4 ever cresting to “probably the worst good episodes”

Mr Interweb posted:Btw, anyone else think the amount of likes on Jean's tweets is super depressing? I mean, sure he deserves it, but they're in the single digits! I figured he was a big enough celebrity (at least in nerd circles) that he would have at least a floor of pity likes at worst. He used to put @TheSimpsons in the text of every tweet he posted, and when people called him out he said it “drives engagement” or something Flannelette posted:Has there been a fortnite episode or has any of the simpsons done the floss dance yet?
