The people who mentioned the Homer and Marge S&M episode missed the most important detail: Homer accidentally sits on a dildo and has to be rushed to the hospital

quote:

Homer goes to the local sex shop where he purchases an array of different sex devices. When he shows Marge all that he has bought she is confused and unimpressed. Homer sits down on one of the machines by mistake and is injured by it. He is taken to the hospital and while he is being treated they reconcile.

Rapes her (but she enjoys it!), then shoots the whole Simpsons family. Macfarlane justified it by saying there was a "WANTED: Plagiarist" poster of Peter Griffin in a Simpsons episode. So, you know. Rape Marge and shotgun the fam, that seems an equal return.

At the start it was traditional hand drawn, hand painted animation. That lasted up until around s10 or 11 when it was still hand drawn but digitally coloured so all of a sudden there was still some janky animation but no oddities with colouring which looked pretty crap.

Then sometime in the last 10 years it went full digital like a loving flash animation. There seems to be less frames in each movement now and all the colour is flat and dull so it looks like poo poo.

The first 2(?) seasons were done by Klasky-Csupo who would constantly ignore notes from the producers and do those stupid faces on characters and "rubber" animation. They also tended to colour things like a 70s Eastern bloc propaganda film. Look at something like Rugrats and see how grimy that poo poo looks, that's how those fuckers roll.

Then a few years ago they started airing "HD" versions of the old episodes but instead of re-scanning film elements which would have looked pretty decent they upscaled, cropped and applied some poo poo filter to the tape copies so now it looks worse than it ever has.

People always list Marge getting breast implants for some reason and I actually thought that one was pretty funny. She doesn't get them on purpose it's a chart mix-up with the Mayor's secretary or something. Episode is called Large Marge.

Maybe I just think big boobs are funny?

I haven't watched The Simpsons since 2007 but I'm guessing Bart and/or Lisa started hanging out with a bunch of one-off episode throwaway friends who are "millennials" that we'll never see again (how close am I?).

But that made me realize that when the show first aired (1989) Bart was firmly in Generation X. Fourth-grade student, 10 years old, supposedly born in 1979. :psyduck:

I'm curious if anybody can give me a perspective: I've got a theory that the stasis of the characters and the inertia of the show (Flanderization aside) has created a 30-year old time capsule. Looking at the earlier seasons whenever they'd have a flashback episode we can see how the writers from two decadess ago reflected upon their childhoods in the 1970s and 80s and what they insert regarding the technology that was prominent, fashions, colors, etc. My understanding is that the original "backstories" of the show have since been retconned so that Homer and Marge met in the 1990s or something, but even that provides a frame of reference to the pop culture of the past. As annoying as the writing is and as much as the show needs to be taken out and shot in the back yard its faults are a treasure trove of commentary and perspective on contemporary society that you can't get through other shows like South Park or Rick and Morty that are just too over-the-top to be satires on everyday American life. I suppose I should watch a new episode sometime just to see how well the argument stands up (and whether or not the formula still holds up despite the Flanderization), but I'm afraid I'll be annoyed at how often all the kids use their smartphones or something.

Nice post.

Anyway I just remembered the time Weird Al Yankovic was on the show, he reconciled Homer and Marge's marital woes with a parody of Jack and Diane with the lyrics changed to "Ohh yeahh love goes on/Long after the grilled cheese sandwich is gone"

Enjoy!

Some of the old episodes I remember loving have bad jokes in them that I didn't get at the time and now I feel worse for liking the episodes they are in

Also the point at which I think I stopped watching was probably the episode where they get a horse and there's a land of jockies? or something

Turns out that's in the eleventh season so I guess somewhere around there is where the show really started stinking.

Anyways, here's something we can all enjoy - the antics of lionel hutz

Homer takes the family on a "hate-cation" to Boston when he catches Bart rooting for a rival football team. But after discovering the appeal of candlepin bowling over his regular bowling, and finding a better safety inspector job at a candy factory, they agree to move there. Meanwhile, Lisa discovers how much Boston has to offer academically compared to Springfield.

Homer discovers a new app that makes his life easier, and Grampa learns he's going to be a father again.

Bart spends time with Principal Skinner's mother, Agnes. Meanwhile, Homer and Lisa get addicted to Peekimon Get.

I will die defending Simpsons Safari. Admittedly, the Jane Goodall part is pretty sketchy, but it's still one of the best "Simpsons go to (place)" episodes. One of my favorite Simpsons moments is when they keep having to re-announce the name of the country they're visiting (which ends up being "Pepsi Presents New Zanzibar) on the plane.

The thing people forget is that seasons 8-12 are at least 50%+ good episodes. Are they as good as the classics of the golden age? No, but they're as good as some of the middling episodes. I'd take Simpsons Safari or Skinner's Sense of Snow over Fear of Flying or The Springfield Connection, for example.

This is the worst possible opinion and I'm mad just thinking about it

it's a treehouse of horror segment that doesn't really go anywhere or have a lot of jokes

we must also remember that kang and kodos are canon members of the cast now, beyond thoh eps, because in a season 26 episode the simpson family goes on a disguised ride in "diz nee land" to rigel vii to be eaten, but homer's butt is so toxic that the alien queen dies from eating it and they are sent back to earth.

i must remind you all again that death would be a mercy, for the simpsons
