The Rick and Morty opening is the best thing the show has done in like 10 years. And I'm guessing they weren't involved in that at all.

OK I'll defend Futurama by saying at its best it's funnier than Simpsons, is more rewatchable and has the best audio commentaries of all time. Amazon Women in the Mood is just amazing start to finish.

He's a millionaire with several successful TV shows. I don't get the hate. inb4 Dan Harmon account spotted

Christ, all you people who were banned from watching the loving Simpsons as kids, you must have been in America, right? I'm sure there was no outrage over it in the UK. There was no outrage over drat South Park, in fact I remember them hyping it up in the morning on early morning family show The Big Breakfast ahead of its premier.

Did anyone actually watch The Problem with Apu? The Indian comedians mention that The Simpsons have racist caricatures of everyone, but their problem was that there were no other Indians on American TV, only Apu, so he became the de facto standard of an Indian to many Americans. That's why they all had people quoting "thank you, come again" at them. Plus of course the guy doing it is white.

It seems to me that the problem wasn't necessarily Apu, the problem was the fact that Apu was the ONLY Indian portrayed on American TV for decades, hence he became the go-to stereotype to make fun of American-Indian kids. If there had been a healthier abundance of Indian characters and shows on TV, maybe Apu wouldn't be so problematic

Right, in the UK all us school kids were watching Bottom, Red Dwarf, Blackadder. We had Carry On... on TV, with the boobies. We had Queen's I Want To Break Free, where men... *gulp* dressed as *whispers* ladies (banned in the US, too naughty). The Simpsons being risque was mindboggling

Not a Children posted:Keep in mind that parents in the US, from 1981 through approximately 1994, were absolutely terrified of their children seeing womens' nipples Oh sure, I get it now, but even still, it's just so crazy how different our cultures are (one of my favourite things that points this out is in Evil Dead 2, where the only thing that the BBFC cut out was Ash being kicked on the floor, because in Blighty we don't kick a man when he's down. And at the same time MTV was loving terrified of men in dresses)

Best episodes: Larry Burns (love me some Rodney Dangerfield, also introduced me to Anyway You Want It) Scorpio Viva Ned Flanders (can the poems, it's arse whooping time) Homer and Mr Burns stuck in a log cabin (who knows, maybe I'll be the unlucky one to be fired! Not bloody likely)

I watched "Radioactive Man" last night and that's a classic episode, good to introduce people to The Simpsons with. I already knew it had my all-time favourite line, "My eyes, the goggles do nothing!" but I completely forgot about Skinner's "Strange, I shouldn't have been able to hear that" that made me laugh for like 5 minutes.

I'd put the peak of Futurama against the peak of Simpsons. Simpsons can't touch Futurama when it comes to emotion. When they're on the top of their game both are hilarious. The Futurama movies are.... fine, but you should definitely watch the episodes that come after. You'll get one sorta bad one and a bunch of average to good stuff. Loads of good jokes. You'll be alright. Why is no one talking about Disenchantment-- oh

The Family Guy crossover is definitely a "classic" compared to the the recent... 15 years worth of poo poo flung at the wall. It was written by the FG crew and even if everything didn't land there were some good gags in there and you could tell they genuinely loved classic Simpsoons (like we all do)

The thing is it's not a bad idea, Homer being drunk doing a Singing in the Rain parody, then getting put into a cop car. It's just the execution is so bad and lazy. Why is Kirk dancing on the pier with a basket of money? Why is Homer walking home along a pier? Him falling into the pier isn't funny? In classic Simpsons with the right effort that could have been up there with the Flintstones "about to hit a chestnut tree". The voice acting is so phoned in. A lot of classic jokes in Simpsons, it's not even what's written, it's how the amazing cast say the lines that get the huge laughs. "I wasn't dangerous, just a disgrace" is actually a good line, but the delivery, and everything around it... It's piss. What I'm saying is it's piss

Empty Sandwich posted:well, he is a loser, you see, and has been reduced to dancing for money at the pier. it's not as though they'd make up a funny one-shot character to dance for money at the pier. But his basket is full of money! He must be really good at dancing! People are throwing money at him! No no, this doesn't add up at all!

I just watched Bart's Inner Child. It's hilarious of course (had to Google how to fix the goddamn aspect ratio first though) but really struck me after half a bottle of ginger wine is the ending theme song. So nostalgic, yet so odd. SO odd. It's this bombastic, busy, yet quite eerie song. It doesn't scream cartoon comedy at all. But it's magical. I want to watch a half hour youtube video dissecting it while drunk, immediately.

The episode that marked the show's downfall wasn't Grimes or Up Yours, Children! It was the loving magical jockey episode. Completely unfunny and universe breaking and the first episode I watched that I just remember thinking man that sucked! What season was that?
