Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:the only thing I remember about South Park in recent memory was how the creators were getting scared of doing satire once Trump got into office and then were going to try doing something else with their new season, and it's been a few months since then. Lmao seriously? Bunch of loving pussies

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:I think so, but keep in mind my memory may be cheating. Either way if they're completely staying away from trump it's pretty laughable considering they're the show that visibly and sharply went from crude fart and murder jokes to the weekly Stone and Parker soapbox where-there-are-no-safe-targets Granted I stopped watching ten years ago so I have no idea if they pivoted away from that but if now is the time they decided to stick their tails between their legs just lol

I figured it was just a weird thing in the Simpsons world and years later realized the joke. They were so good at it that I only just found out recently that Mel Zetz isn't a name I was supposed to have recognized

Frog Act posted:Lisa's singing in that clip is unbelievably bad, I can honestly say at this point the voices would sound more authentic if they hired fan impersonators Does anyone do a truly on point impersonation of any simpsons character? I feel like I've never heard a perfect impression of any character in the same way I've heard perfect impressions of distinctive sounding celebrities. It always sounds off.

womb with a view posted:Also, the imagination sequence where he pictures Flanders' misfortune. It goes to a shot of Ned's grave, and he says to himself "mmm no, too far" then backs it up. Modern Simpsons doesn't have the restraint to do that, they'd just keep pushing it further with horrible dismemberment or something. Am I misremembering a weird fever dream or wasnt there an episode in one of the lovely seasons where homer gleefully imagines rod and todd dead

None of the episodes really grabbed me. But there's some great late season episodes. 28 has the 24 rip off, 20 has the Wavery Hills episode, 16 has Future Drama, a serious rival for Lisa gets Married. shut up idiot

Eh! Frank posted:This reminds me, what's the general opinion on the episode where Homer becomes a local celebrity after bowling a perfect game? I think it was season 11 or 12, but I remember loving it when I was a teen. I haven't seen it in years though so I don't know how it holds up. I still find myself saying "did someone say a PERFECT GAME?" whenever I get a strike so it definitely imprinted part of itself on my psyche

Some of the golden era's best and most memorable episodes are built on totally zany plots. Homer going to space? loving gold. And that even had celeb cameos. Which were some of the best parts. I can't believe they got former president James Taylor for that episode

multijoe posted:Imagine this moralistic scolding over global warming stopping a comet destroying Springfield or Homer befriending a cheery supervillain Yeah neither of these episodes are implicitly and repeatedly saying global warming and supervillainy are actually great and should be emulated so no one did that nor will they ever You'd probably have a better point if you compared it to the endless moralistic scolding over Bart's behavior in the early 90s pretty soft girl fucked around with this message at 14:44 on May 13, 2021 |

multijoe posted:Global warming literally saves the city in Bart's Comet. But the concept that Rick N Morty is creating a generation of Reddit science guys and not just, y'know, attracting them is ridiculous and loving comic code poo poo, people are capable of consuming media without internalising it as part of their moral ideology. I was more pointing out between your rapidly edited post and follow up post that if you'd taken like 2 seconds in your fervor to comment on the video you'd probably been able to come up with a better comparison than "one thing happened on an episode that literally no one complained about for a good reason" Tbh I'm on the fence if media like this more influences or attracts shitlords, probably more the latter but if it was remotely quantifiable I would be curious about just how much stuff like Manbearpig shifted public discourse on global warming Also the video does a pretty decent job breaking down why r&m/South Park rub me the wrong way and the simpsons and always sunny don't so eh? I'm not judging anyone for liking those shows but the underlying vibe he points out is what kinda makes them unenjoyable to me

?? No one ever said they aren't funny? Something can be funny and unpleasant simultaneously, I personally find r&m/South Park to be more unpleasant for the reasons presented compared to how funny I think they are but I've found both of them funny If someone told me Always Sunny wasn't enjoyable for them for its history of ironic blackface or transphobic slurs I don't think my immediate take would be "they're making that up, they just don't think the funny show is funny"

CodfishCartographer posted:I always thought Bart Gets an F was significantly more emotional and impactful than Lisa's Substitute but nobody else seems to agree with me so I just keep my mouth shut, except for when I don't (such as now) I agree with you but I'm not 100% sure why that is the case. I think it might be easier to relate to Bart's situation at any stage of your life against a variety of life events so as an adult it hits harder

The way Bart reacted I thought armin tamzarian was some double entrendre that I just didn't get and not just a silly name for the longest time

Hedgehog Pie posted:I suppose you could also count Mr Lisa Goes to Washington as a good "THE SIMPSONS ARE GOING TO ___" episode too. Maybe Bart in France too though that seems a bit more pedantic. New York is good, but idk there are bits that don't quite work for me, and I'm not talking about them putting all of the jerks in Tower 1. I definitely found it funnier once I went to NYC though. I follow a simpsons shitposting page with a large amount of Australian followers and best I can gather fans of the show treat that episode like it's part of the national identity They're particularly enamored with Tobias and dollary-doos

As much as I love the poochie episode I feel like I can see the decline happening in real time when they set up bart and comic book guy to have the proxy argument of "the show is free to watch (with ads, on the most coveted time slot, on a network that will actively try to bring about the collapse of modern society, ps buy our merchandise) so who are you to complain" They may have had a point given that it was during season 8 before things had even started declining, but that seemed like a sudden jump from "CBG is an unpleasable whiner" to "you should accept whatever we fart out as gold" and given what the next 20+ years look like it's embarrassing
