And the one with the deprivation tank where she realises she is a total bitch to her loving father.

Skinner was much better when he was riddled with PTSD over really minor things (like not being able to recreate the soup he was fed in the POW camp) and had a kind of Norman Bates thing going on with his mother rather than just a pointless wet blanket guy.

berth ell pup posted:I contend the Deep Space Homer (s5) is the first truly bad simpsons episode. The premise is contrived, and they guest voices (aldrin?) were poorly done. Some people just can't be voice actors. I bet it took 100 takes to get a suitable "Careful! They're rippled!" and the one they used is still pretty bad. I didn't think it was possible to be this wrong

The best family guy is about on par with early bad Simpsons, like season 12-13 bad. The worst family guy is better than the worst Simpsons. The best Simpsons (like season 2-8) is literally a billion times better than the best family guy.

There's the "god is real" stuff when the fire spreads to Flanders' house but overall the message is "who gives a poo poo what you do/don't believe in just help out your community and trust in your friends and neighbours" And now I type that out I realise why fundies would find it so offensive. it's literally the message of Jesus, which must be rejected by all good Christians at all costs.

Prurient Squid posted:I voted other. My choice is "Homer getting raped by a panda". Quite possibly this is biased by the fact that I stopped watching around about that time so in my mind there was no room for it to get worse. I think there was a decent satire about dumb 'prank culture' buried in that episode somewhere (like assaulting Lenny with pudding), and how horrible it is to degrade yourself for money and how horrible people are for taking advantage of desperate people, but it missed the mark by a wide loving margin. It was probably a reaction to the media hysteria about Jackass (the moral panic of that era, because a handful of morons tried to recreate stuff they'd seen on TV), a bit like the episode where people pay Kenny to eat his own puke and dogshit, then suck off Howard Stern. PostNouveau posted:Yeah, Hank Scorpio is a supervillain, but his "superpower" that lets him take over is being a great boss who treats his employees well. And here we are, over 20 years after that episode aired, and even the most basic employee benefits are considered literally communism by the government, the media, and the swarms of turkeys that are huge fans of Thanksgiving/Christmas.

goldenninjawarrior posted:We only got Simpsons on terrestrial TV in the UK in like 1996 and they also weren't allowed to read newspapers. We had cable in the UK that gave us Sky One, which had the Simpsons from 1990. I remember there being loads of chatter about how rude it was and how it wasn't suitable for children. My parents decided to tape the episodes, watch them and then decide if it was okay for me (age 6) and my brother (age 11) to watch them. They did this for three episodes before going "what the hell this isn't even remotely risque" and just let us watch it normally.

I mentioned how the Simpsons wasn't considered at all risque in the UK in 1990, but this is the same era that 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' had to be renamed 'Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles' for TV (the movie name stayed the same), and all depictions of Michelangelo's nunchucks had to be edited out because the head of the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) was a completely insane person named James Ferman. Nunchucks were (are?) illegal in the UK, despite being an incredibly stupid weapon that is more likely to knock you out than whoever you're trying to harm, and Ferman was a huge stickler for arbitrary rules. He's responsible for an enormous amount of media censorship in the UK from the mid 70s to the late 90s - he was the person that blocked The Exorcist from being released on home video (it eventually got released on DVD about three months after he retired). Ferman's particular hatred of nunchucks extended to how he felt he was "unable to tell the difference between a martial arts weapon and a sausage" in a scene in which Michelangelo uses sausage links to fight bad guys. Ferman stated that the sausages looked like real weapons "to any streetwise 8 year old" and ordered the scene to be heavily edited so as to avoid a "dazzling display of swinging sausages indistinguishable from chainsticks". Despite this insanity, Ferman was considered to be extremely liberal by Mary Whitehouse, who is basically the UK's version of Phyllis Schlafly. When Ferman retired, he campaigned to have legislation around hardcore porn severely relaxed, so that he could enjoy his twilight years. He died 3 years after stepping down.

The weirdest bit of editing in the Simpsons in the UK is when Barney helps Homer escape work so they can go to the Duff brewery. Barney yells "hey, is that Princess Di?" and pulls his car forward, causing Homer to plummet to the ground, then says "nah, it's just a pile of rags". All of Barney's dialogue got cut after Princess Diana became a guardian angel for Our Maddie or whatever happened, so it looks like he just pulls his car forward for no reason.

I'm not wholly opposed to the idea because, y'know, porn is bad for kids. But it's totally unenforceable. At one point there was a plan to make it so any porn site accessible in the UK had to have a .xxx domain, so that it would be super easy for parents to lock down what their kids can and cannot access. But that got rejected because the reactionary right decided that every make every porn site end with .xxx would make porn easier to access. Because it's so hard to find now, you see.
