CodfishCartographer posted:

The point (that goons seem to be willfully ignoring) is that there are racist / stereotypical aspects of Apu’s character aside from just a white guy doing a voice. The convenience store owner character didn’t need to be Indian. The Indian character didn’t need to be a convenience store owner, or have an arranged marriage, or have 8 kids, or live in an apartment that looks like this:



But how would we, the regular viewers, know Apu and Manjula are different if they didn't install that Arabic doorway in their apartment?

I happen to be rewatching the early seasons right now, there's some good episodes there (including the aforementioned American Civil War one). On the other, and even though I'm no delicate flower, the casual/extreme violence is kind of unsettling. I've always wondered how many parents unwittingly traumatized their children letting them watch South Park, thinking it's a kids' show.

I was definitely a flower growing up, I found gore upsetting. I was somehow allowed to watch South Park with the caveat that I don't repeat what I hear (lol) but even at its goriest, I just found it funny. I didn't like it when they showed live action (real or fake) images of gory footage, like they did in the one where you see footage of what Cartman sees when he closes his eyes.

But South Park's gore was always just funny and silly to me. I even had a friend who would black out at the sight or descriptuous mentions of blood and was okay seeing people's kneecap/testicles explode in a bloody mess and was fine with it.

My problem is with the people who form their world or political views via South Park but that's a derail.

Was the context like "that episode is great!" or "Lady Gaga was fun working with"? Because no one liked that episode. The whole town (Mr. Large cheering for Lady Gaga was so jarring. Only good bit was Ms. Hoover posting "not so smart now, are you?" on the school message board to Lisa.

It's really really really good and I don't consider it to have a bad episode. That being said I don't think it's got the satirical edge that made good simpsons so good. And unlike the other guy who said that modern simpsons is mean (he's right), it's pretty clear that the writers and creators really love their characters and it shows.

I love Bob's Burgers. You're right that it doesn't have any bad episodes but I prefer it when they avoid plots that are 'too zany' (like The Deepening) but even those ones are packed with good quips.

They clearly don't love Jimmy Pesto. No one should, though.

Gene and Louise will shout now and then but they are Gene and Louise. They have to! John H Benjamin has a delightful voice. And everyone wants a soothing ASMR tape recorded by Marshmallow deep down inside.

I don't like Teddy but that's mostly because he reminds me of the sad, needy "regulars" from my years working at a cafe. And the health inspector sucks but he's meant to suck.

Oh The Simpsons? Well the intro took place at Bob's Burgers so that was the best part, naturally.

So did any Indians complain about Apu before a blogger born and raised in the US and educated privately in England did?

Because it didn't come up once with anyone in my family, friends, school or internet groups. Seeing as how they ate predominately Indian and Pakistani you think it would have.

Wait, did you mean that they are predominantly Indian and Pakistani or that they ate predominantly Indian and Pakistani (cuisine).

One of these bears more weight in an argument than the other.

Oh, I've seen a lot of new episodes. You see, my housemates were from a freaky family that forbade the watching of The Simpsons. We all know people like that, right?

Awful people.

Anyway, one of them insists everything from seasons 1-25 is good, with seasons 1 all the way to 14 (and Im all like wtf 14?? I start shouting at him and i lunge at him, he breaks my spine and kills me) being the best. I don't know why he caps off at 25 when there isn't any dip in quality after 25 or anything, it's all sort of homogeneous around 14-15

I remember chuckling once in awhile during what I think may have been seasons 27/28, sometimes I'd even think "wow, if this episode was rendered in Old Simpsons graphics, this might actually pass for a Season 10 episode". But I'm afraid of actually revisiting any of those episodes incase they're poo poo. I was pretty drunk/high.

Summer of 4 ft. 2. That's my moms favorite episode. She hated The Simpsons but never barred me from watching it. Her reasons for not liking it were pretty sound, she was a social worker and Homer would strangle Bart. She was fine with cartoon violence but did not like seeing parent/child abuse, no matter how wacky and lurid the setting. (She also had a thing with male on female violence, so when we played Mortal Kombat, she said she honestly would prefer we picked same gendered characters but I only ever chose Kitana)

She would sometimes overhear the TV and would laugh once in awhile. Over time she started watching it with us sometimes, along with KotH. She thought Summer of 4 to be funny, relatable and Lisa's friends as genuinely sweet.

Sorry, I know this is a Wendy's drive-thru but that episode reminds me of mommy. :3:

I was about to say this. It’s deceptive on the surface with its flash-puppet adult swim looking aesthetic, but holy crap there’s real good art everywhere in it.

If you have any examples, I'd be interested in seeing. I've seen bits and pieces from it but was always turned away by the animation looking all stiff and rotoscoped, like someone put real footage of very very stiff people through a filter.

But the things they say are usually quick, witty and funny. I tried a Green Russian after overhearing that one bit.

It's an interview and so naturally won't exactly present an unbiased reviewer's opinion or convince you that you really saw something you didn't see, but there's a lot going on underneath the flatness.

So there really is lot more to the animation and style than I thought. The backgrounds and how those spaces are built in 3D is really interesting.

In the new one, Lisa meets a new friend and lies about her family because, well, for obvious reasons.

I have very few complaints, it was easily the best episode of the season. It did have an annoying flourish of stupid title cards and french cafe music coming up at various story beats announcing the story beats. Also Lisa declares it her first happy ending, so someone there must have read that article about how Lisa stories always punish Lisa for no reason.

I watched it per your recommendation and it was a pretty enjoyable watch. If we were to compile 12-20 episodes for a single post-se14 "season" this would make it on the list.

And then all those episodes will be rerecorded to VHS and then digitally reuploaded, maybe give them some Sony Vegas filters to make it look somewhat old and crusty.
