I was watching classic Simpsons clips and this got me thinking that Simpsons was probably one of the earliest shows to show video games as just a regular thing that kids do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ9_hX-v68M

They know that everybody is just browsing their phones during the episodes so they have to announce all the funny parts out loud.

iamsosmrt posted:I think that late 90s-early 00s period of TV in general was a bit of a cultural low point. Wasn't that the height of blatant trashy-ness with very little nuance or a moral lesson to reflect upon the trash? Jerry Springer, WWF Attitude era, reality tv, When ___ Attacks, etc. I have never thought about it really was like that. Really, why was everything so nasty?

Film is not about horrors of war and how system of violence uses violence to mold its members to become users of violence themselves. It is about how through trial and tribulations private Joker rises to the challenge of Animal Mother and becomes a true killer. And why wouldn't you want to be a killer? Are you pussy or what?

Look at Jamie-Lynn Spears. I had never thought that the parents might have done that to their kids on purpose. Man. I was actually having a pretty good night.

Kid rock, mel Gibson, Alec Baldwin… James Woods was an especially bad loss as it’s such a good ep but he’s become, uh, concerning (glances at his Twitter feed) oh man. James Wood's Twitter aside, the cameo is timeless. "Don't jerk me around".

DaveWoo posted:Now that I think about it, why isn't there a nostalgia-bait sitcom about growing up in the 2000s? 2000's start with 9/11 and end with meltdown of the global economic system, so yeah. Theoretically you could make a feel good sitcom set in 1930's Europe, but it's easy to see why nobody haven't.

IUG posted:An earlier episode that feels entirely out of place is Season 7’s “Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming”. Something about that episode is just off, like someone wrote it who never watched Simpsons regularly. It’s the one where Sideshow Bob tries to nuke Springfield. And even that gave us the Wright plane gag and "All we found was porno, porno and porno!"

Halisnacks posted:I’ve read several times (most likely in this thread) that the Simpsons’ writers thought it was going to end around season 8 or 9, hence the shift to more experimental episodes and cynical tone. 9/11 happened. If I remember correctly, ratings started to grow almost immediately.

I mean that episode has the loving Canyonero. Quality dips, sure, but it's still a far cry from modern Simpsons. Maybe call it a silver age?
