remember when this was considered the worst Simpsons episode of all time? they were innocent back then and never imagined how much further things could get.
>remember when this was considered the worst Simpsons episode of all time?No that was pic related
>>151911143Better yet, remember when The Principle and the Pauper was considered the shows lowest point?
>>151911642Anybody who hated The Principle and The Pauper is an idiot who never read Borges
>>151911806It wasn't bad in a vacuum, but it contradicted prior continuity and the show's established principles, not to mention setting the stage for worse to come.
>>151911143Most people 20 years ago refused to believe The Simpsons had gone bad.
>>151911861>continuityThe show never really had much of one in the first place.
>>151911875Fans couldn’t easily make video essays back then. At most, you had the No Homers Club forum, and most of them are watching the show forever no matter what.
>>151911933It had an established canon.
>>151911143That scene where an MTV host girl becomes 22 and is instantly replaced is neat enough for me to forgive that episode.
>>151911875I've been watching some mid era episodes when they come up on TV and honestly the show is pretty funny up until they went HD
>>151911143for one thing the voice actors weren't 3 quarters dead at that point
>>151911861>established principlesAre there any principles other than Skinner?
>>151911642The thing is it's actually 100 times funnier and more entertaining than any episode in like the past 20 years. The Simpsons being shitty to unwatchable 3 or 4 times longer than the show was ever good is kind of unfathomable to me. It shows how good the series golden age was if it can just cruise on that until the end of time.
>>151911143this time next year Joe C will have been dead for longer than he was alive
>>151912217it had like five christmas episodes before then
>>151911143It's pretty bad
>>151913407Here, you dropped this.
>>151911806It wasn't funny in the slightest and it's supposed to be a comedy show.
>>151911642This is your tipical "youtuber opinion" that should be disregarded everytime
>>151911143>>151911462>>151911642none of these are episodes bad lol autismos have a hate boner with season 11, it's part of the classic seasons deal with it there is no "middle simpsons"
>>151911143Is this a thinly veiled b8/butthurt thread about Kid Rock? It had better not be.
>"seasons 1-8 are the only real simpsons seasons" nigga when they have to actually watch seasons 1 and 2 and all the unfunny cheesy episodes like Homer's Barbershop Quartet
>>151914168HBQ was Season 5, dum dum.
>>151914116Jean being worse didn't make Scully "good.">>151914168The Groening, Brooks, and Simon era was just fine. It was an immediate hit.
>>1519141681 and 2 are good, just not very funny.
>>151914318>1 and 2 are good, just not very funny.And that's why The Simpsons became so iconic in the first place (The Simpsons stopped being a cultural institution after Kamp Krusty)
The most cancerous episodes have to be the celebrity shilling ones, it’s hard to even tell which one is worse.
>>151914189im aware, there are bad episodes throughout "golden simpsons"season 5 alone has>Homer's Barbershop Quartet>Bart's Inner Child>Secrets of a Successful Marriage
>>151911143i'm not sure whether i should watch the simpsons. because for one, you really had to be there to truly enjoy it, and two, it's refusing to end for pete's sake.
>>151914726the Ray Romano one is good, not great, but good, makes Flaming Moe look like the garbage it is
>>151913981What? That episode is full of funny jokes
>>151914852>the fucking classic Barbershop Quartet episode is bad according to /co/You motherfuckers have no good taste at all
>>151911143Anon... It's STILL the worst Simpsons episode of all time.
