How and why is morges hair so stiff when on many occasions they show it long and flowing?
>>72095827
She uses product and also she's a cartoon character.
I don't feel like this deserves its own thread.
What the fuck was the joke? Why did the writers make Mr Burns very uncharacteristically break the 4th wall? Only children and retards would find a poorly setup joke with a literally flaming faggot funny- is this something that I should lament subscribing to as kid myself? Some faggots are fucking flaming- this is a fact. We all know what it means. We all remember the degenerate parades in California which were sanctioned by what I assume were gays.

>From a newer season
Serious question why do people say this is one of the best shows ever but then turn around and say but out of the 28 seasons only 10 are good. How is a show good when over half of it is terrible?
Viewing the whole show with all the seasons would you say its a good show overall or a bad show that had some good seasons?
>>72095933
>What the fuck was the joke? Why did the writers make Mr Burns very uncharacteristically break the 4th wall?
You linked to a five minute montage - which joke are you referring to specifically?
>>72095985
Seasons 1-12 are really good and people only meme when they say anything past Season 8 is terrible
On top of that seasons 2-8 are probably the best television ever made.
But after a combination of Phil Hartman dying and all the good writers leaving to make Futurama in 1999 the show never had a chance
It lost too much
>>72095985
It had probably the best comedy writing team of the 90s.
After season 8 the talent started to go but we'll always have those amazing years.
So yeah, there are more mediocre seasons than 10/10 ones.
>>72096081
>people only meme when they say anything past Season 8 is terrible
Saying this, itself, must be a meme.
>>72096060
u wot, mate? The time is embedded in the url link and I even typed it out below it @ 4:16.
>>72096081
>But after a combination of Phil Hartman dying and all the good writers leaving to make Futurama in 1999 the show never had a chance
This isn't really true. Only a few (fairly minor) Simpsons writers transferred to Futurama and the show was already decidedly going to shit by the time Hartman died.
>>72096213
Seasons 9-12 have more good episode than bad
They're good seasons
>>72096247
>Only a few (fairly minor) Simpsons writers transferred to Futurama
Not really since a lot of the writers who wrote earlier seasons of the Simpsons also went
Futurama essentially had the same group of writers for its first 4 seaons that The Simpons did
>>72096252
Well fine, fair enough I guess but if you're going to say that I think you should make a point to also mention at what season those claims stop being memes and become reality, then. In my opinion I'd say season 12 or possibly 13 would be the absolute limit. If people aren't memeing when they say the show went to shit after 8, they most definitely are when they say it didn't go to shit by 13, if at all. Because it clearly has.

what did marge mean by this?
>>72096404
I always assumed she was in denial and desperately wanted Lisa to vouch for her.
>>72096404
...that she hates herself and her whole life could be summed up by the words, "failure," and "overwhelming regret?"
>>72096403
I agree, dont get me wrong the core golden era is a lot better than what came after. Its something like
>10/10 seasons
>3-8
>9/10 seasons
>9
>8/10 seasons
>1,10-12
>>72096339
>Futurama essentially had the same group of writers for its first 4 seaons that The Simpons did
That's not true at all though.
David X. Cohen, Ken Keeler and Matt Groening were the only writers to go from Simpsons to Futurama, and out of them only Groening was involved in the early seasons of The Simpsons.
>>72096457
yeah, like maybe she has changed Homer in little to no ways but is claiming total victory to maintain her sanity
i see
>>72096543
Ah shit i missed season 2

>>72096578
Keeler coined "cheese eating surrender monkeys" so he can't written off easily.
Best joke coming through
https://www.youtube com/watch?v=Qq7wnMvLYg4
So
You didn't fall for the "It was Marge" meme did you?
>>72096578
*Actually I've just remembered, Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein were also consulting producers on Futurama's early seasons, but they weren't full-time writers and like Coen and Keeler they were only involved with the Simpsons in the late-classic era.
>>72096665
I'll see your gold fish tenders and raise you a quickie that sums up Homer in 9 seconds.

Only in american media folks
I've only seen a few episodes of the Simpsons? But what's that one episode where Bart looks middle aged, seems depressed, and has a beard?
Homer used to be a real character. Dumb, but at least he was still somewhat believable, at least he still had the slightest shred of humanity. Now, Homer is a heartless, souless, Godless abomination. He is a "living" parody of himself.
If he used to be a parody of the dumb American father figure (ie, a stereotype), he is not anymore; now he is a parody even of that.
And I don't like it.
And neither should anyone else.
>>72096932
>I've only seen a few episodes of the Simpsons?
Hey whoa whoa stop
Go and watch seasons 2-8 NOW
>>72096640
I agree with this.

Ive been saying the same thing. They started to lose me around season 10. Too many bad jokes like that stupid Movie.
Season 6

Ned Flanders

That joke was pretty /pol/ though.
Why did they kill off Maud?
Why this act of god committed against the most god-fearing character of them all, Ned?

Best character coming through.
>>72095985
Ten seasons are about 10 years, mind you. And it used to be really good. Like defining-humor-for-one-or-two-generations-of-Western-people good. And this will always be what it was, no matter what shit they make of it now or in the future.
>>72103602
>And this will always be what it was, no matter what shit they make of it now or in the future.
It will always be what it is. Nothing can ever be in the present what it was in the past, unless it is the same. Simpsons was good, but now it is bad.
>>72103812
Simpsons now and Simpsons then are not the same show. Different time, different generation of writers and viewers. So it will remain what it was since the episodes of the time were groundbreaking in part and wrote TV history.
Anyone else despise how characters have iphones, constantly reference social media? It's just incredibly lazy.

>What is the single greatest Joke The Simpsons ever told?
One of my favorites anyway.
I always like ones that build on the previous joke.
>>72095933
It's a reference to comedian Jack Benny's signature fourth wall break stare in his sketches. Usually an obvious character would make a over the plate remark that could be misconstrued as innuendo, he would look to the audience in disbelief. Classic comedy show, there are many references to it throughout The Simpsons (notably the "Yyyyeeeesss" guy, a recurring Jack Benny character.)
tl;dr it's a meme you dip

Simpsons thread you say? I'll get right up.
I really wish this "only seasons x through y" meme would die. By this time next year we'll have people arguing that precisely 2 episodes, in season 4, were good, and the rest were all shit.
>>72106038
1. No we won't.
2. You know it.
3. So why do you care, then?
4. But it's good that the general consensus matches the reality.
5. That's not a meme.
6. /10 bait.
