I'm googling around to see which episodes people hate the most, and it's hard to believe any of these episodes are actually real.  "Elon Musk, who voices himself, comes to Springfield and befriends Homer in his efforts to modernize the nuclear power plant. But he goes too far, leaving Homer to figure out a nice way to break ties. Mr. Burns, meanwhile, tries to assassinate Musk, and when Homer finally tells the billionaire tech mogul that they can’t be friends, Musk takes off in his rocketship."

I found a list compiled by a website called nohomers.net from 2003 of the top 50 worst episodes (according to the couple of dozen people who voted in the poll  )https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/NoHomers.net%27s_50_Worst_episodes 45/50 of these episodes are from season 10 onward. Impressive, considering there were only 14 seasons at the time. This is I think, definitive proof that Al Jean is the worst thing to happen to the Simpsons ever. Supposedly my mother-in-law went to highschool with him, I'm gonna ask her about him next time I see her.

I got really drunk and figured if I tried the new Simpsons now it'd have a decent shot at making me laugh. Only once, when during the food fight a tater tot hits Groundskeeper Willie in the helmet, he takes it off to examine the dent, and a second tater tot hits him between the eyes. I chuckled, then had to turn it off because of how boring it got when the Youtube influencer guy showed Homer the laughing monkey video. A solid minute of Homer laughing at a bad Youtube video from over ten years ago. If I wanted to see poo poo like that I'd watch my boomer family members watch Americas Funniest Home Videos.

Seriously, how much could it cost to put the first ten seasons up with ads? I'd watch them, I'm sick of using up the hard disk space for ten seasons of an ancient cartoon and wouldn't mind watching some Jack in the Box commercials to watch the old seasons.

COMPAGNIE TOMMY posted:I imagine a lot since if they are going to show them in their entirety vs the butchered syndication cuts, there's less overall commercial time per episode As if they would care about when the real adbreaks were, and not just slap 5 two minute ad breaks evenly spread out through the episode not including the post-credits ad and the pre-intro ad. So basically old Hulu, where it was the same two ads played during all seven breaks.

PostNouveau posted:The "Queen tribute" thing was on tonight's episode, but it was a couch gag. But it wasn't a couch gag it just happened without the credits or pan through town or anything. It's been said before I'm sure but it sucks how this could easily be a lesser Family Guy episode.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Family Guy was really killing it the last three episodes, and most of last season (though this season opener was bad. If you ever liked the show, you'll probably mostly enjoy it again. It seems like they care about the writing again and you can tell there's some semblance of examining the scripts to make sure the jokes actually work, vs. modern Simpsons where it seems like they just use the first thing they thought of and never examine it again. Oh gently caress I watched the first episode of the new season and didn't give the rest a chance

Bust Rodd posted:Cleveland is a funnier character than any other McFarlane property, and he has the best supporting cast of friends. At first I thought this was ridiculous but as I thought about it I agree with it a little bit. Holt and Tim are actually very funny characters with their own fun episodes, I am not a fan of Lester though, it's lame to have Cleveland be friends with an open racist. Although you shouldn't compare the dads friend groups alone, because that leaves out Steves friend group, which is hilarious. And I think Roger is the best character that Seth MacFarlane ever came up with, he's a friend group unto himself.

I like to play a game when I'm drunk where I see how far I can get into a new episode of the Simpsons. Not even completely smashed can I make it past around the 7 minute mark for any of them. This is especially alarming to me because I like a lot of bad stuff. How can I possibly read not just one but several Warhammer novels, but I can't get through even one episode of the modern simpsons even with the aid of tons of booze?

It sure puts into perspective the scene in the early episodes where they go into Mortys teachers mind and there's the sexual part which is filled with absolutely every perversion you can think of, including incestuous 17 year old Summer and it's sort of implied that everyone has a part of their brain like that and it's just normal. Edit : Also explains his continued willingness to work with Dan "I'm going to coerce and threaten my female employees into sleeping with me" Harmon Punkinhead fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Jan 13, 2020 |

quote:Azaria indicated there was no resistance to phasing him out as the voice. One wonders why the show couldn’t just share that news earlier. This is really weird to read after the weird passive aggressive clip of Marge and Lisa defending the role/voice.

Bust Rodd posted:They never did a Boomhower//Luanne thing on KOTH did they? I’m super solid on the first 8 seasons but haven’t really watched anything past there The 5th episode ever was actually about this. Hank wants Luanne out of his den and is about to talk to her about it but he can't bring himself to because her boyfriend just dumped her. To help her move on (so he can kick her out when she isn't depressed) he encourages her to find a new boyfriend. In the end that turns out to be Boomhauer, and Hank forbids it. She fucks off to live with Boomhauer and Hank realizes how badly he's loving up, so he chills out and asks her to stay in the den. The episode ends with her accepting the offer and telling Hank she loves him. I think Luanna and Boomhauer decide not to keep dating because of how uncomfortable Boomhauer was when Luanna came to live with him unannounced.

you broke my grill posted:Boomhauer and Luanne never dated she just decided she was gonna live with him and Boomhauer made her sleep on the couch Yeah they weren't in a relationship or anything but they went on a dinner date to Lulys after they argued with Hank about whether or not it was okay for them to date, and that was after Hank caught her giving Boomhauer a kiss. Just got done rewatching the episode and there's nothing suggesting that they wouldn't have full-on dated if Hank hadn't freaked out. Just saying that there was an episode where Luanne and Boomhauer were interested in each other, at least briefly.

Fun fact, the gargoyle Pazuzu is named after the ancient Babylonian Demon-God of the underworld. Pazuzu also brought plagues and storms, so Pazuzu was worshipped just in an attempt to keep him from wrecking your poo poo. And is also frequently portrayed with a massive erect dong, because ancient religion.

In my experience, a rotten old jerk who just complains all the time is exactly the kind of person that did have an extravagant and strange life. For my entire life, my grandpa existed merely to watch TV and complain about what his family was doing. I literally never saw him leave his chair unless to go to the bathroom or sleep until the day he died, and I hated visiting him because he literally never had anything nice or fun to say about anyone or anything. Not even a book full of cakes from magazines, like Agnes. The other week I learned he was a trick pony rider in Chicago before WW2, and was actually considered one of the flashier and more talented riders. He woo'd my grandma by performing a particularly dangerous stunt while holding a flower for her in his teeth. I only knew him as a 400lb terminal "gameshow watcher".

I had seen a few episodes but I thought I didn't like the Simpsons because every time I tried I'd end up watching an episode as bad as the Italian Bob episode and I'd always think "Wow this show is loving overrated I hate it" It took my wife showing me the first 10 seasons on DVD to get it. She's really too good for me

The wikipedia page for the episode says "This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed." and boy howdy are they not kidding, especially if you consider the whole page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mom_and_Pop_Art "While the designs of Homer's new art friends were not based on anybody in particular, the "German guy" was drawn to hold his cigarette in a "European way" by animation director Jim Reardon." loving vital informaiton, thanks for including it in the article random irl Comicbook Guy There's smaller pages for battles in WW2

Ror posted:Somehow I've never really thought about Otto's age, he's another one of those character archetypes that doesn't really exist anymore as originally conceived. In 2020 if you tell me to imagine a burnout who's into heavy metal and has long curly mullet and wears jean shorts, I'm probably going to imagine an old man who's still clinging onto being like Ozzy instead of a young rocker. His character is constantly using a cassette Walkman! Holy poo poo Otto is older than my mom. I never would have guessed, even in the 90s.

It's not just cartoons. Andy from Parks and Rec has an extremely similar musical career to that of John Redcorn. Down to the very joke about changing a couple of words in a very adult song for children. Andy sings a song about sex hair and changes it, Redcorn sings a song about killing himself and changes it.

Was about to say, Family Guy can do musical numbers really well sometimes. Other times though, it's just Shipoopy. American Dad occasionally nails music too. The B12 boy band song and the one where Steve does an R&B song about how hot his mom is are both amazing. Can't forget "Daddy's Gone" either https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz-2dWWWwI0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wltTIJiIBiw Hell yeah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tITz-42MbRI This one here is almost better than it has any right to be for such a dopey episode.
