>In September 2015, a federal judge declared that the Warner/Chappell copyright claim was invalid, ruling that the copyright registration applied only to a specific piano arrangement of the song, and not to its lyrics and melody.

It was a pretty good ep
>>77486759
>Said song rights are gone now.
not only that, but I think those song rights were gone for a long time but the company (Sony?) who owned them lied about it to maintain them for decades
>>77488399
This is as prevalent today as it was back then, it just looks a little different now.
>>77488592

Yeah nobody actually checked to see if it was a legit copyright all this time.
>>77486224
>>77486588
The cartoon really out-shined the comic strips. Probably because Scott Adams isn't very funny compared to a room of seasoned writers.
>>77490591
A lot of time on shows they assume certain songs are copyrighted and don't even bother to check because that would involve bothering the legal department and that digs into the budget.

Yeah, he mentions selling them in a few episodes. In the mid-90's cell phones were still a pricey luxury item.

Families going to church.
I don't know many people who go to church anymore, unless they're outwardly religious. To me, it feels really dated seeing the sitcom family go to church just to fit in with the community. This is also why a lot of older episodes of The Simpsons feel out of place sometimes.

That's why I can appreciate TTA fully embracing the fact that they are in the 90's.
"Welcome to the 90's". It's like they knew that people would go back to watch them.
>>77508753
Of course they will. Why would today's culture be immune to the passing of time? In twenty years we'll be the fossils whining about ye good ole days.
Or rather our children will. We already are whining about how it was better before and going "god I feel old" when some kid admits he's never had a cathodic TV.

The notion of "the bully" is incredibly outdated if it was ever true to begin with, typically if someone is bullied it's more a general ostracization than onebig guyshaking you down for lunch money. Also the people that come the closest to being the one, singular bully are skinny fuckers instead of lumbering Nelson Muntz types, and needless to say they harass and talk shit instead of stuff you in lockers.I speak from experience, my "enemy" in middle school was some wigger with curly blonde hair.
I've also noticed that middle school stereotypes apply more for later elementary school and high school stereotypes apply more for middle school.

This is more amusing because by the early 90s, Bob Hope was a senile drooling 90 year old man. When he'd make appearances somewhere, people would mostly just humor him like you do your grandpa when you visit him in the rest home.

Pretty much everything from Marge giving Ruth a porn VHS to the fact that Ruth and Laura were obvious early 90s stereotypes (divorced mom, daughter is supposed to look like a grungefag). The talk show that Homer is watching at the start of the episode also smacks of that era.

If you watch classic Simpsons, it's kind of interesting to see how the show's tone and humor change over the course of the 90s to reflect the general social climate of the time. Say you have the darker, more button-down Season 1-3 episodes and by the time you get to the Scully era, it's the Dot Com Bubble days when everything is just silly good-time fun.
>>77506507
It'd never happen. Mohammed here would take down entire buildings with a single pound of dynamite. No one wants some pussy flying sphere, they want speed, and power.
Krusty the Clown counts as a big one. He's based on Bozo, who used to be popular among kids when Matt Groening was little. Even by the late 80's when The Simpsons came out, Bozo's popularity had declined. The idea of a kid being a huge fan of an afternoon variety show hosted by a clown would make a lot more sense to late Baby Boomers and early Gen Xers.

They must have done something horribly wrong because boomers for the most part (after they got past their angsty teen phase in the 60s) had great respect and veneration for their parents' generation (WWII vets). Yet now you have middle-aged Gen Xers still cursing out boomers and wishing for them to all die off.

They let themselves be blinded by that respect. Assuming as long as they kept that, they could do no worse than when they were those angsty teens. Even when the ones in control of billions of dollars in resources have to choose between changing there ways and staying the same, they feel the new way of thinking disrespects their parents', so it is rejected outright. That's why they let the world fly into chaos. Better it should suffer like those they looked up to than leave those people behind, for better or worse. It'd almost be sad if they weren't ruining fucking everything in the process. Not that the next ones in line are much better, a lot have the opposite problem. Though at least that one will help get things moving at least somewhat closer to an amicable arrangement.

I think that's what gets me the most about all of this. Everyone is so anally annihilated over Pluto being changed and yet we already went through this twice before with little to no resistance. Just goes to show the generation of whiners that have been created.

The boomer mentality is basically "fuck you, got mine." They grew up in a time of (relative) economic prosperity that came from the hard work of the generation before them and largely coasted on it. They're the kind of people who will tell the younger generation "suck it up and tough it out" despite never having had to do that themselves. They don't seem to understand that their prosperity didn't come through their own hard work, but from the hard work of their parents.
To be fair every generation has a bit of that, but the boomers are numerous and they're all old enough to be in positions of authority and influence.

Every single boomer president we've had has been shitty
This isn't a coincidence- they're a generation raised on rebellion and the belief that everything will always be nice and fine. It is funny listening to a 65 year old man talk about how he doesn't understand how ISIS can be so fucked up, when his father would have been a soldier fighting in WWII against the Nazis who primarily started the war for the sake of resources.
The boomer mentality is one of neverending childhood, never taking responsibility and always assuming someone else is at fault.

Has a caveman themed joke ever been made that a burning torch appears above his head when he gets an idea?

>The boomer mentality is one of neverending childhood, never taking responsibility and always assuming someone else is at fault.
Interestingly, the Gen Xers seem to ascribe the same traits to millenials. I think there's some real pent up resentment toward the boomers coming out there.
>>77518398
I think growing up hearing "wah wah quit being such a little faggot and man up" from a bunch of people who themselves never actually had to man up will do that.
>>77518448
Basically. The younger Gen Xers grew up in the 70's when the economy went to shit and had to deal with their parents going "well I got by through hard work and pulling myself up by my bootstraps, you're just a whiner"

Too bad that there are not only feathers found on non-maniraptora dinosaurs (Ornithomimus for example, is pretty much an ostrich with arms and a tail now, it even has wing feathers), but also BIG dinosaurs too.
Now, I'm not an idiot, so I'm not going to say "all dinosaurs were covered in some type of feather all over their body", but it turns out that many did, no matter the size. Pic related, the biggest feathered dinosaur to date.
Here's my grip about dated things in cartoons

Vat? We only had two of them and Bush was ok.
>>77519819
I think he's including Barack. Also
>Bush was okay
>>77519909
Obama is an early Gen Xer. If anything, his mother was far more of a boomer than he is. Also Bush fucked up some things, especially in his last year was pretty bad with the bank bailouts but I'd take him 101% over the entire last 7 years.
>>77519949
Putin attempting to drag him into leading has been cringeworthy.
>>77519949
When does Gen X start? Last I've heard, it was between 1964 and 1984.
>>77519987
There's not an exact point, but boomers gradually transition into Gen X from the late 1950s-early 1960s. Obama's upbringing and life story are much more like a Gen Xer than a boomer.
And then Gen X transitions gradually into Millenials from the mid-70s to early 80s although again there's no definite cutoff year.

If you heard somewhere that people born in the early 60s are boomers, disregard it. That was never true and back in the 80s, those guys weren't considered boomers at all, they were the 20-somethings who couldn't get a job because boomers (people 5-10 years older) hogged all the good ones.
What eventually happened is that in the mid-90s, when the oldest boomers were pushing 50, they started claiming the early Gen Xers for themselves so as to not feel so old.
>>77520079
My uncle was born in 64 which according to this would put him in the early part of Gen X. Anyway, he was in high school when John Lennon got capped and he said his 30 year old teacher (thus a boomer) was bawling over it, but most of the kids didn't know who he even was.
>>77520121
Of course not, he was in the 1st grade when the Beatles broke up. I'm pretty sure when I was in the 1st grade that none of my classmates were discussing Pearl Jam either.
>>77520168
Sure but obviously you can't be much of a boomer if you were still sucking your thumb when the Beatles were around.
