Tom Gorman posted:The other ones were bad but this is probably the worst Simpsons clip I've ever seen. Jesus christ. This is the first modern Simpsons clip I have watched in about 5 years or more. HOLY gently caress what happened! The animation style, its its just WRONG. And the movement speeds. Or is it the yt video itself, it's like a dream sequence. Slowed down a tad, making it unsettling. Like David Lynch shot it. Its a Dad joke in cartoon form. No, even a Dad joke Dad would cringe at this.

Ein cooler Typ posted:Yeardley Smith only does Lisa and she gets the same amount as real voice actors like Dan Castellenetta who can do many chracters She must be thanking God daily after getting into the Simpsons. She was always the 'frumpy quirky' one in her roles before, and with her looks only destined to play a female Ferengi on Star Trek at some point.

SEX BURRITO posted:British TV has people in ridiculously oversized homes too. Eastenders is full of market traders and shop assistants living in Victorian terraces in East London. Victorian terraces aren't that good really. They may look good from the outside, but inside unless renovated are just rotting slum houses. I never thought any Eastenders house was big, they are always cluttered dingy rooms.

PinheadSlim posted: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. Same. I was surfing channels a few weeks ago and saw Simpsons, and hoped it was an oldie. But it wasn't. Now I like bad films and such, but this was just 'bland'. Thinking on it now, take their old parody cartoon "Worker and Parasite", dub it to sound more english, insert a 2010 pop cultural reference, and its the Simpsons.

Empty Sandwich posted:My first "holy poo poo, the Simpsons predicted this" moment was after watching S01E06, "Moaning Lisa." In the B-plot video game, Bart does a finishing move that knocks off the other player's head. In early 1990, we found that joke hilarious and absurd. I always thought that was just a copy of an Amiga game called Moonstone. Here is the gif:  Don't remember the exact Bart scene though.

Detective No. 27 posted:At this point, the show is just marketing for a mobile game. Supereyepatch Wolf had a great video last year about how The Simpsons these days makes the majority of it's money through Tapped Out and how the real Simpsons content these days have been the various fan works made throughout the years. That game is still going? Wow, I stopped playing it when it was so overloading my crappy phone making it run 1fps. Ripoff game too. Thankfully never spent a cent on it. Their donut prices for items is insane. gently caress that game.

PostNouveau posted:Y'all should watch the recent THOH segment where Homer develops a taste for human flesh and starts eating himself. It was the first time in like 20 years they've done a warning about the disturbing content and the first time they did one specifically for a single segment. gently caress, that is terrible. I was thinking while watching it all it needs now is a celeb walk on......and on walks a random celeb.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFFJQeS5SIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxS9S36ZsyA Sky advertising at the time was HEAVILY Simpsons laden back then. FIVE WHOLE CHANNELS! Star Trek was another big boost for Sky, the later TNG seasons and DS9 were on Sky first, then on BBC a year later. You would be reading issues of Starlog about season 6 while only seeing season 5 for the first time.

PostNouveau posted:Did someone say toothless jabs at Trump? There is an SCP called 'Laugh is Fun' which is some sort of extra dimensional entity making a comedy tape that appears in our universe, but it doesn't get the comedy right. Its either hosed up disturbing, bizarre weird, or nonsensical. This Simpsons clip strongly vibes the same bizarreness. The uncanny valley effect but for comedy, editing, and timing.

Calaveron posted:This shot looks like dogshit, I mean look at it. Lisa is three, maybe four colors if you count black and flat textures while everything around her is overdesigned and overtextured, she stands out so bad, like a cartoon character photoshopped into a real photo The scales are all wrong. The guy is too large for that chair, looks like hes floating not sitting on it, and if he stood up his head would be up to the top of the window. The hat on the wall on the left is closer to the camera than the guy, but its still too small for the guy. The table between them looks like it is floating. The bottom of it is touching the wall, but it gets bigger as you go up, so the far side of it should be clipping into the wall itself. They forgot to trace the wall bits inbetween the table spaces

New Yorp New Yorp posted:Star Trek TNG accurately predicted tablets but not wireless connectivity or networked file sharing. So people carry around stacks of tablets with notes for different subjects. Wasn't the reason was that it was for security reasons and they were so limited to only for the use of whatever section you were working in. As you could probably do anything to any other part of the ship from anywhere. Meaning Wesley would destroy the ship every 30 minutes if they were limitless.

Never been banned watching TV, but for The Simpsons it was about how rich you were. Here in Ireland/UK, you could only watch it on Satellite TV, Sky 1. Which was really expensive at the start. Same with Star Trek TNG, we would be years behind everyone when it appeared on terrestrial TV later.

Das Boo posted:100%! I have very distinct memories of disappointment from being 4 years old and seeing the start of the next Tom and Jerry short was one of those ugly ones. (Reooowr! Fft! Fft!) Also being absolutely mesmerized by the multiplane camera shots in early Popeye despite having no clue what was going on. I didn't understand the whys, but even to a toddler the theatrical shorts were the "good" ones. Sort of had the same. I hated the animation style where you could tell when the next bit of body was going to move or do something as it was a bit brighter than everything else. This really made me hate on Scooby Doo for a long while. There were just certain ones where it was very obvious.
