Matt Groening's least favorite Simpsons joke (from the classic years anyway) is in the episode "Deep Space Homer", when Homer's face morphs into that of Popeye and Richard Nixon while experiencing extreme G forces. He felt it made no sense and was "too cartoony" for the shows usual style of humor.Do you agree that its the worst joke from the classic years?
>>220526348No, the worst joke from the classic years was Al Jean banning the Michael Jackson episode
>>220526348I got the Nixon part (because of his jowls) but I never understood the Popeye joke
>>220526622just so he could say I can't stands no more, I guess
>>220526348Has he seen past S11?
"i'm the first non-Brazillian person to travel through time."
>>220526348I think a stereo or phone playing inappropriate music was funny once, but got old quick
>>220526824Yeah that one makes no sense>>220526834Probably why it was one of the earliest retired gags
>>220526622Why were libtard comedy shows like the Simpsons still seething so hard about Nixon all the way up to the 2000s? Wasn't he already out of office for like 4 decades at that point?
>>220526897Easily mimiced
>>220526897nixon was j-pilled
>>220526824>>220526887That's a reference to the Brazilian claim of having the first flight prior to that of the Wright brothers
>>220526897He was a fun character. Odd speaking pattern, funny look, very quotable. He's iconic even without going into his political history for the same reasons that Mayor Quimby was a parody of the Kennedys.
>>220527828yeah, it wasn't so much seething as just making fun of his appearance and mannerisms. https://youtu.be/9OxrcMgCfEI?t=39
