Why are boomers still watching this?
>>150681906*Mexicans
>>150681906It's on the T.V.
>>150681906The same reason people still watch One Piece: stockholm syndrome.
>>150681906From which episode does that Bart come from?
>>150681944The Doh'Cial Network, there's an Edward Gorey style skit at the end of it
>>150681906lead poisoning
>>150681986Why are they using an episode from 2012 to advertise the new season?
>>150681906It's like a bag of popcorn at the movies, hollow and not great for me but it's comfort food.The bigger question is why are there people waging a two decade crusade to get it canceled? Seems a bit obsessive, just ignore it and move on with your life.
>>150681906I’ve seen some people say the Simpsons got good again, is that true or is that just retarded YT tooncritic speak?
>>150682045The show has Matt Selman as a showrunner now, he definitely does a better job than Al Jean but "got good again" is overstating it.
>>150682045Yes and no. It got a little better when the writers got so bored that they started experimenting a bit... but it's not even remotely on par with the originals.Basically it improved from garbage to just stale, with maybe 1 or 2 solid B episodes a year.
>>150682029Because that version of Bart returned for that season's Treehouse of Horror
>>150682045Most YouTubers who still watch The Simpsons see the show more as a slice-of-life series than a comedy. They are happy when their favourite minor character receives some development, that's why they say the show is good again.
>>150682045Its getting good again in the same way SpongeBob got good again, by becoming an entirely different, more wacky sitcom that by nature of being a different show has new life.The difference is that The Simpsons has more internal inertia, so instead of just becoming that new wacky show its slowly moving that way a few times per season.
>>150682222I don't know if "wacky" is the right word there. The Simpsons went to shit when they were meeting celebrities and traveling the world... it got better when they focused on small stories like:What if Homer and Kirk became friends? What if Chalmers and Skinner have to make a business trip together? What if The Simpsons and The Flanderiseses go to the Grand Canyon. The more mundane the better these days, with the only acceptable wacky stuff relegated to future episodes, Halloween episodes and one-off non-canon.
Why did the second movie flop
>>150681920don't forget argentinians.
>>150682386It's not out yet... but they should probably try to keep the budget small
>>150681906It's third worlders
>>150682045eh...in a vacuum the writing is decent enough for a gimmicky slice of life show but using 2025 simpsons as a vehicle for it is so ghastly that it's a wash.
>>150682045"Good" compared to the absolute dumpster fire it was before, it's still bad
>>150681906Same reason you still watch SpongeBob.
>>150683807I don't watch new SpongeBob because it's slop
>>150681906Nobody watches this. My mother, a Boomer, watches ABC in the morning and the evening for the news, and whatever channel is playing playing The Closer continually between Dawn and Dusk.
It's mostly Gen X/older Millennials
>>150681906>what if grandpa goes back to krusty burger but he uses spongebob's spatulaI'm honestly surprised he's retaining his outfit underneath that given everyone else has a complete wardrobe change (and the show seems to go out of its way to replace everyone's outfits with hyper detailed ones from around season 7-9 onward).>>150681986>Edward GoreyIs he significant? He has a wikipedia page so I assume he is despite his humdrum style.
>>150681906>boomers Anon, that generation LOATHED The Simpsons and had it banned in their households. Do you even English?
>>150682386Not enough Milhouse
>>150681906>boomerAsk me how I can tell you're underage here.There isn't a single person born before 1964 watching this show. In fact, no one should be. Put it out to pasture.
>>150681936one piece is serialized but the plot is fucking abysmal even by dbz standards
>>150681920>>150682459Colombian here, sometimes i watch older episodes, anything past 8th season is cancer
>>150687175What is happening now with the story?
They aren't. Simpsons is always at least the third highest-viewed cartoon on D+ at all times, and never leaves the top 10 overall. The vast majority of those views are for the golden age, but the executives don't care. All they see is that the Simpsons is still stupidly popular and therefore still in demand.If you're wondering why they'd bother with this if it'll ultimately just be a waste of money, it's because Disney is still a juggernaut. Don't let their recent flops fool you, they still have hundreds of billions of dollars to spare. They have enough money to make this show outlive the voice actors' children.
>>150682045Some episodes are good since season 30, but I mean it's like 2 or 3 per 12 per season, so not many.
>>150681906notice how everyone is dressed all goofy except lisa. Why does she get this special treatment???
>>150688106She's boring
>>150687724Luffy has a literal god mode.
>>150686175They started warming up to it when Bart was neutered and South Park premiered
>>150687175>>150687724>>150690563Shonen anime is the equivalent of Venezuelan telenovelas.
>>150687724Luffy is actually the reincarnation of Joyboy, who was basically Pirate Jesus, and the Gum Gum fruit is actually the Sun God's Fruit, which fives him cartoon logic powers.
>>150681906They are very afraid of change. Ironic that the writing is so liberal now.Also sneed.
>>150690574>when Bart was neutered You're thinking of Louise Belcher. Bart has never stopped being a devil child https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WsXSyzs32s
For the same reason that people watch the new seasons of Grey's Anatomt
>>150691648There are... NEW seasons of Grey's Anatomy?
>>150682386Bart wasn't naked
>>150690563>>150691173So why haven't they found the fucking treasure >Luffy is a reincarnation of pirate Jesus Doesn't this ruin the plot? His whole backstory was that he was an abandoned retard island bumpkin that got a shot at life by random chance "You were the chosen one all along" is fucking gay
>>150691656Yeah, most of the original cast is gone tho
>>150691837
>>150681936Ditto for Conan.
>>150681906Nobody is watching new episodes of The Simpsons in current year, I refuse to believe it. The first ~15 or so seasons on streaming? Sure but who the fuck watches cable
>>150691885They always pull this shit when they ran out of ideas
