>DVD commentary for Lisa The Greek>Mike Reiss: There was one time when we were going to have Homer strangle Lisa but we couldn't do it. She's just too sweet.What was the one time?
>>151034754More likely Yeardley would never have let them hear the end of it if they did it, and she's already obnoxious enough.
>>151034754Needs to happen, no one child is immutable nor above physical reprimand.Who knows maybe this new gag puts the simpsons back on track
>>151034794if i'm getting paid $275k per episode i'm not gonna care
>too sweeti thought the whole point of the character was that lisa was an obnoxious dickhead.
>>151036240oh well you know Mike Reiss, he lives in this 1950s postcard dreamland
>>151036425not really interested in any of these hacks desu

>>151034794Is Yeardley really this difficult about Lisa or is this just speculation
>>151034754>She's just too sweetjust how far up their asses are their heads
>>151036594she did get banned from the writing room for trying to push her retarded ideas on them
>>151036724Back then Lisa was still just the gifted, neglected child while Bart was the troublemaker. It wasn't until later did Lisa become preachy and annoying and Bart become neutered to the point of being a complete loser.
>>151036772>Back then Lisa was still just the gifted, neglected child while Bart was the troublemaker. It wasn't until later did Lisa become preachy and annoyingyou should try rewatching the early seasons it wasn't as bad as later on but Lisa was always bitch
>>151036577Bart eat tomaccos
Lisa is a grump because of all the times Homer and his drinking buddies molested her.
LOL VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN FUNNY HAHAHAHA
>>151036594She's well known for considering Lisa to basically be a part of herself now.
>>151036594It makes me wish they actually did get recast with AI or nobodies, since those would be infinitely easier to work with>>151037789That's called dementia in most other circles
They should have Marge strangle Lisa considering how often Lisa acts like the angry bitchy daughter.
>>151036757>>151037849Simpson’s VAs phoning in lines>Ugh End the show already Yeardley wants to be more involved >Ugh replace the VAs with robots already
>>151036577idgi
>>151036240Go read her Wikipedia page, anon
>>151036240she wasn't always like that. I don't know if this is where it started, but Paul McCartney only agreed to do a guest spot if they made Lisa a vegetarian for the rest of the series, and her other obnoxious traits likely came with that. Can't even roll it back either because Paul is still alive.
>>151040262>Paul McCartney only agreed to do a guest spot if they made Lisa a vegetarianwhat the fuck have i just read? what kind of request is that?
>>151036757to be fair so did matt groening
>>151034754Where is 8horns when you need him?
>>151034754I think one subtlety outside the obvious sexism is that homer never strangled bart over serious character issues, it was always some spur of the moment mischief . in a bart episode where he had some kind of serious drama the writers didn't go there because it would come off as too humiliating and dismissive.most of lisa's transgressions result from her having some kind of moral crisis, I desperately believe in this issue and need to do something about it. having homer strangle her over such a belief would be going outside the bounds of the joke into humiliating territory.
>>151040272to be fair it's a little more nuanced. he requested that they take her already existing vegetarianism seriously and not have it get wiped by a return to the status quo. he didn't demand they do a lisa vegetarian episode.
>>151040575>he requested that they take her already existing vegetarianism seriously and not have it get wiped by a return to the status quothat's even weirder to request imo
>>151034754This was apparently during the earlier seasons. Supposedly it got rejected because Reiss got glares of disgust thrown at him for suggesting it.Since this was golden-era Simpsons, my guess is that it would've involved both Bart AND Lisa getting strangled, but Springfield's citizens take tons of offence at Lisa getting it while ignoring Bart's. Definitely fits with the socio-satirical nature back then.
>>151040575?She didn't become a vegetarian until the episode the McCartneys guested in. There wasn't a previously existing vegetarianism.
>>151040626Think he means the script for his episode already had vegetarian Lisa, but he only agreed to do the ep on the condition that this not be reset at the end of the episode. "Previously existing" within the script of that particular ep.
>>151036757They also won't let her voice any other characters besides Lisa because her voice is too distinctive.
>>151038077Nothing about the way she's currently written justifies the actress' behavior
>>151034754Too sweet? She was already showing to be able to get as bad as Bart a few seasons in and unlike Bart, her actions never had consequences.
>she's just too sneed.What did they mean by this?
