Compared to the Lady Gaga one I guess. There were probably a few decent writers still on staff, the Mel Gibson episode just always stood out to me as the glaring example of when the focus of the show shifted.

nah it's very funny. not just in comparison to gaga.

the most hosed up thing about the movie is they have al brooks as the villain but he's not hank scorpio

(also why the gently caress is the president arnold and not rainer woftcastle).

one of the very first things i ever tracked down when i got the internet was this song:

it's in a ton of old episodes (to the point i consider it the secondary theme song) and i was so pumped when i finally found out what it was.

i mean if he was head of the epa that's dumb it shoulda just been a crazy hank scorpio plot since it makes more sense.

it's like someone else said earlier, it's people who grew up on the simpsons writing it now. it's like when you compare the original star wars flicks to the expanded universe novels and poo poo. on the surface level it looks the same but the people writing the new stuff didn't really get what made the original property so great.

also laziness.

it'd be hard for me to watch the show even if it was funnier due to the sanitized art style/animation.

when i say something like it's hosed up they used al brooks in the movie and not make him hank scorpio i didn't mean just plop hank scorpio into the movie as we got it. the mindset that would've written that into the plot would've been one that didn't make the movie we saw (since it'd have to go into more depth about the dome since hank and homer know each other).

Yeah I notice this too. I've been watching New Simpsons out of morbid curiosity lately and I also notice that they will just beat the poo poo out of a joke. Over and over again, I keep thinking "okay, stop. cut the joke here and it's fine..!" But they'll keep on truckin' and spoil the joke by over explaining it.

it's like comparing the original ghostbusters to the new one.

when did the simpsons get partisan? in the classic days, they were cynical towards republicans (for being cartoonishly evil) and democrats (for being incompetent morons, plus mayor quimby was a caricature of the worst parts of JFK)

The most baffling thing about the movie is that they've spent years and years on the show with Rainier Wolfcastle as the Simpsons version of Arnold Schwarzenegger. And in the movie they just straight up call him Schwarzenegger instead.

and they get albert brooks to be the bad guy but he's not hank scorpio. how do you gently caress up poo poo that basic. poo poo took me completely out of the movie it's all i was thinking through the rest. it would've even had the plot make more "sense" why the gently caress is the epa doing an under the dome on springfield.

it's more that years ago people would act like the show immediately became poo poo after that episode. it was a gradual decline where each subsequent season had fewer and fewer good episodes. i think i stopped watching every week around 14 or 15.

I'm watching some random season 12 episodes because I hate myself and they're bad. bad bad bad... A lot of them suffer from the tertiary characters just hanging out with The Simpsons for good drat reason at all. The whole town is hanging out at a free YMCA weekend-thing, Homer breaks his leg, and then the whole town is having fun outside of his window. It's really weird.

is that when he breaks his leg playing bball? the willie and carl bits were good.

I just watched Season 12, Episode 17: Simpsons Safari

Yeesh. loving yeesh. This is the one where they go to Africa. Holy hell it's rancid.

is that the one where the jane goodall stand-in is using chimps to mine diamonds? the bit where homer is on the bed throwing diamonds up going "look marge i'm a scientist!" was funny.

also "i can shoot a lion in the face!"

it's not until the teens where you get episodes that just have nothing in them that's why i stopped watching then.

I know there's a recent Flintstones comic which includes such gem lines as "Barney, we committed genocide." I hear it's good, but I've only seen bizarre panels with no context.

it's very good. prior to the start of the series, barney and fred were part of an army that wiped out the tree people who originally lived on the land bedrock was founded on. instead of the water buffalo lodge it's a veterans lodge (they wear the same hats).

Rando fans better than current writing staff. It's sad. It's really really sad.

the way to get a job in tv writing is to write a spec script for a different show. i think donald glover did it by writing a simpsons script.
