>being removed from the app store on October 31 2025>servers shutting down January 24 2026Did any anons still play?
>>730862713Domer
>>730862713Damn.
When did you stop watching Simpsons /v/?
>>730862713Nah, I tapped out.
>>730862851Never started.
>>730862851>S11E05icwydt
>>730862851a month before 9/11 that's when life turned to shit anyway
>>730862713the servers are WHAT
>>730863009imagine being sucked through the gap in his teeth like a spaghetti noodle
>>730862713Was the Sneed DLC worth it?
>>730863273Will never be funny.
>>730862851What happened in S30E18?
>>730862851What happened on 9/11
>>730862929Stop lying, everyone watched Simpsons.
>>730862851Disney, sell me The Simpsons for $100. I'll be the one to cancel The Simpsons. It needs to be done, but no-one wants the burden of doing it. I will happily carry that on my shoulders.I'll then sell it back to you for one cent, with the terms being you can't produce any more new movies or TV for it. You can still make merch, games, whatever. You've made an increase of 999,900% on that deal.
>>730863490I didn't. Always thought it was boring as shit. Even Family Guy was always better.
>>730863523Bad bait.
When did FOX cartoons peak?
>>730862713Will we get proper consoles games next?
>>730862713Doh!
>>730863476Musical episodeAlso we're up to 37 goddamn seasons now
>>730863612This is a very old image.
the simpsons were cool in 1991 when I first heard about it.Bat was a product of the late 80s when being ironic and naugthty was coolIt stopped being intereting after a bout a couple seasons, and after that it was a slow trainwreck
>>730863612Futurama is always peak
>>730863398bart becomes a radical feminist and tries to replace itchy and scratchy with female versions of the characters
>>730864730This feels like bait, but I'm not sure.
>>730862851I answered this last year. Season 26 episode 15 "The Princess Guide" is the first episode I definitely never watched, and almost nothing after that.Seasons 1-10 I could probably tell you what episode a random quote came from, I watched them so much. I even have the Simpsons Guidebook.To OP: I had a pretty well developed Tapped Out Springfield on my Jelly Bean OS android tablet. I don't think I touched it since Halloween '14. It got way to tedious to upgrade anything. I was just logging in to tap my screen for 20 seconds for 10 days in a row so I could build Reverend Lovejoy's church.
>>730862851Was S6E3 really that bad
Yeah, I picked it up in early 2024 so I only got to play it for a couple years. It was a fun little time waste. Autists have kept it going, and odds are your city save still exists if you want to keep playing. I think they're even rolling out regular updates.
>>730863612Missing a bunch of duds.>Allen Gregory>Napoleon Dynamite>Bordertown>Sit Down, Shut Up>Son of Zorn>Golan the Insatiable>High School USA>Bless the Harts>Duncanville>The Great North>Housebroken>Universal Basic GuysAnd technically The Critic since it was canceled after two seasons (The Great North has five), but that was pure gold.
>>730866232It's the "Romances" clip episode. Bad by S6 quality, but just a rehashed unremarkable episode. It's probably the laziest clip episode.
>>730866232No, it was just a clip show which was normal in the 80-90s.Most people didn't record the Simpsons (I did), so they actually liked best-of shows. Utterly worthless to rewatch and pointless to have on a DVD though.
>>730866974Those were made to keep the budget in each season.
>>730863490Zoomers don't care about the Simpsons at allActually it's a stretch to say late millennials cared about it, I am a late millennial and knew like 2 or 3 people my age throughout my life other than me that gave a shit about the Simpsons
>>730863612Archer was a Fox show? Wtf when did it air? I only ever Archer on FX, never on Fox.
>>730864309>2021-present >4 seasonshaven't watched tv in quite a while but unless it's predicting the future it can't be older than last year
>>730868218They are on Fortnite.
>>730862851>s23e22Alright, I'll ask. What happened?
>>730868370It says futurama is on going at 8 seasons which would put it at 2023, so it's 3 years old.
>>730868864Lisa went Gaga
>>730862713I never played it but I used to download modded .apks for my mom and sister so they could have free shit
>>730866974>so they actually liked best-of showsNo lol. Maybe if the frame story is good (that april fools Simpsons one was still funny) but people only tolerated that shit at best.
>>730862713One of the first mobile games I ever played. Never got far into it but it was neat for what it is
>>730863273Will always be funny.
>>730862713I remember I was getting a BJ from an old girlfriend, and like a millisecond after I came my phone went off with homer saying "WOOHOO NEW BUILDING".
>>730862851>sees Season 11, episode 5 has 10>Goes to IMDB to check which episode was that, sees its only 7.9I'm so confused. Is this some cringe faggy american inside joke?
>>730862713>servers shutting down January 24 2026Didn't this shut down 1 year ago
>>730862713Tried it out like 10 years ago >>730862851Season 10, first movie, on rewatch, is kind of mediocre too.
>>730870524You won't bait me, nigger.
>>730865118NTA but this is what it is
>>730870524sneed and feed episodeBroly crushes George Floyd’s neck with his buttocks episode
>>730870524TOMACCO
>>730862713What I thought it already shut down? It doesn't matter since there is a fan revival already
>>730862851I'm less interested in the general decline and more in the outliers. like what was so bad at the start of season 6, what was so good in the middle of season 27, and of course how badly did they fumble those two episodes that have a black rating
>>730871025>6.3Clip show.>23.22Lady Gaga episode.>30.18Bart becomes a radical feminist episode.These were all already explained in the thread.
>>730871025early bad rates episodes are clip showsthe later good ones are usually high concept episodes where they went outside the moldthe two black ones are probably Lady Gaga guest star and the high school musical where Marge and Homer are retconned to be in high school in 1999 and Marge’s voice is done by a different person because regular Marge voice actress is a 90-year-old lady who can’t sing
>>730871626>high school musical where Marge and Homer are retconned to be in high school in 1999 and Marge’s voice is done by a different person because regular Marge voice actress is a 90-year-old lady who can’t singThey were already changed to milennials prior to that episode. The show has been on a sliding timeline for over 20 years, people need to deal with the fact that Homer and Marge are born in the 80s now and all the kids aren't even born in the 00s. They had Kristen Bell do Marge's singing voice. It was explained in universe that Marge can't actually sing and the Bell song segments were a fantasy.
Why did Futurama had to die young when this piece of shit has 40 seasons?
>>730862851I stopped watching after the Simpsons movie, not because oif it or anything, just happened to stop watching it then.
>>730871889Futurama would have suffered the same fate had it not ended.
>>730871889futurama's been cancelled and revived and cancelled like four times by now
>>730871889they keep bringing futurama back and fucking it up, there's now more bad than good, but I still love it the most
>>730872047Don't they still make new seasons every couple of years on random streaming platforms?
>>730871889>Why did Futurama had to die youngYou should be thankful for this all things considered
>>730863612>tfw American Dad ended up being the best animated sitcomHow did they do it?
>>730871889We got a good amount of seasons from it. I rather it be dead since the new season is straight garbage
>>730872610Is it worse than the comedy central run?
>>730872605Moving away from the initial premise, embracing what worked, changing what didn't, and otherwise remaining consistent.
>>730871889The Devil's hands are Idle Playthings was a pretty good ending. Everything afterwards just kept getting worse and worse.
>>730863612Third season of Family GuyA better question is what specific point did the fox cartoons turn unwatchable unwatchable? I'm on season 7 episode 10 of King of the Hill and the quality is tanking, I fear watching further.
>>730872936It's the Seth McFarlane rule.No matter how a show begins it invariably loses it's intial point and becomes about the wacky cute smol side characters and everyone is exaggerated into the same generic liberal douche for effect.Family Guy used to be about a regular factory worker who'd drink with the guys after work and a couple of awkward teenagers finding themselves, with Stewie just being an occasional gag. Now it's the Brian and Stewie show and Peter just does whatever they think of that week with no grounding.American Dad was about an arrogant CIA agent and his hippie daughter, with everything else being some kind of gag. But it became about Roger and Steve in the same way FG was about Brian and Stewie.Cleveland Show was basically just about them trying to redo Family Guy with a new small town setting. But it failed because most of the Rallo plots didn't go anywhere so they couldn't do a le wacky side character go-to template.
>>730862851When Maude died.
>>730862851So S11E13 is where the Simpsons truly shits itself with Elf JockeysI like how the last episode in green, S13E18 is the one when Milhouse says "This is where I come to cry."
>>730874780The elf jockey episode feels like a kind of episode this series would have if Matt went through with the "Marge has rabbit ears" thing.
>>730862851>groening leaves>immediate yellows across the board
>>730875014anon you might wanna get your eyes checked
>>730874846Isn't there some story where, either Matt or the S11 showrunner (unsure if it was Jean yet) left for a few weeks while they were working on the episode. Then they came back and were all "what the fuck is this?"
>>730872023SameI watched some new episodes a few years ago when all the shills were insisting it had become good again and it really hadn't.
>>730873560KOTH gets bad when it switches to digital animation.
>>730866828The Critic had one season on Fox and one season on ABC.
>Yes Mr. Vidya, everything stinks.
>>730874846But Aliens exist I guess
>>730875375I'm not an autistic simpsons loremaster or anything but i'm pretty sure kang/kodos were generally reserved for treehouse of horror episodes in the old days (and maybe the occasional sight gag but that falls under the "it's a cartoon, don't think too hard about it" category)pretty different from having an entire otherwise normal episode devolve into fantasy creatures
What are some good tapping/idle games?I used to play Tap My Katamari and it was fun but it's dead now.
>>730875526They've appeared in a non Halloween episode recently. Like, they're the focus of the plot.
>>730875586I still play it sometimes. It doesn't require online other than the bonus coins. As long as you got it before you can redownload it.
>>730862851I stopped watching around season 19/20 but whenever I do a rewatch it's purely season 1-12 and the movie and even that's cutting it. Also everyone is wrong about when the show "jumped the shark" the first very mean spirited episode that ruins a lot of the characters is in 8, the mary poppins one. But most people say the principal and the pauper (season 9) is the jump the shark moment
>>730875526Yeah, that's usually the method of doing something. Like they could of had the Elf Jockeys if they weren't part of the main plot. For the Simpsons, it's a goofy cartoon, but there's a level of reality that it should maintain.
>>730875828>But most people say the principal and the pauper (season 9) is the jump the shark momentthat's peak "someone on youtube told me it so it has to be true" garbagea show like the simpsons can't have one defining episode that signals when everything went to shit. it's a gradual decline over the course of a few seasons in the late 90's/early 00's. if you want a definitive moment it's not when they "ruined the narrative" or some retarded shit like that, it's when you realized the show hit a point of no return. And nobody with a straight face is gonna say it's the literal second episode of the season right after the general consensus "golden age."
>>730862851a few seasons after the movie, then it became a parody of itself like south park after orange mans 1st election
>>730876102I didn't get it from a youtuber, I got it from obsessively rewtaching the series as a teenager. The Mary Poppins episode is the first episode with jerkass homor and cynical, mean spirited jokes. It's not "the moment the show became unwatchable" it's the moment the trends in the bad seasons started to take root.
>>730862851never really watched Fox enough to watch much of it but i have seen a few early episodes, particularly some treehouse of horror my mother recorded onto vhs back in the day.i looked it up and i think it was season 5's treehouse of horror?
>>730862713I was playing it before the announcement, but my town didn't get saved and I lost my backup, so I just stopped playing the game altogether.
>>730862851I watched some episodes last year after a lot of time of not watching anything, but holy shit, the fucking show has gone down the drain completely, it's just politics now.In an episode bart begs some alt-left feminist gang to get him on board because the girls in there were "too cool", and on another one they're supposedly making fun of people criticizing hollywood changing the gender of characters in shows for no reason, and they quite literally bust their own argument because they show the reason why it's done, but still continue the stupidity.
>>730862851I was a late millenial baby that experienced the simpsons through local syndication(reruns were golden age with some scully) I rarely watched the current sunday episodes because I had more than enough watching it at 5 o clock during the week but when I did they always came off as weird to me even at the time. the post scully stuff is what I remember consistently finding cringeworthy, adult fans consider 10-12 as full on zombie simpsons but to kid me they didn't get offensive til the weird shit like steroid marge in the al jean era.
>>730870635upgrade your bot, autist
>>730875617I'm gonna need details, because that sounds like a "We have new writers and said writers want to 'expand' on lesser used characters without understanding why said characters were used sparingly" episode.>>730862851I stopped my rewatch at S8. I'm scared to rewatch S9 and onward.
>>730872605The writers are all bros. They have an uncunny ability to mock things about American culture without coming off as liberal cunts.
HEY! HEEEY!! STOP DOING THINGS AND COME PLAY WITH ME!
>>730863008you’ve probably been alive longer after 9/11 than you were before it. Sounds to me like you’ve been sitting on your ass for 2+ decades wallowing in self pit….like a bitch. If you can’t turn your life around in any semblance of a meaningful way in 25 years you genuinely are a retard
>>730862851What made S27E9 so good?
Treehouse of Horror XXXIV was pretty good for being modern Simpsons Pretty clever to make an alternate ending for an old season to make it into a horror episode toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sp1bMSpg0U
>>730872605American Dad is some bizarro situation where the characters started out extremely flanderized and annoying and then settled into being more grounded and likeable over time. They also keep things fresh with the right amount of retarded fantasy plots, which are believably enabled by Stan being a spook and Roger being an alien.It also really helps having a cast of characters that generally get along with each other, dysfunctional families are an exhausted form of comedy and American Dad really doesn't rely on it like the Simpsons or Family Guy do.
>>730877686why don't they just produce every episode like that? just that light filter makes the show so much easier on the eyes, the solid colors don't sear into your eyes like they do in the regular modern episodes.
>>730862851When I got rid of the cable jew. I won't be broadcasting nigger and tranny Idealization into my home.
>>730875828The Principal and the Pauper is a great episode that gets treated like shit for this idea of character assassination. They would have to do something really drastic to Skinner where you couldn't redeem him. Like he was Russian spy in disguised and tried to kill the real Skinner or he's part of the mob and running a double life. Nothing about him being Armin Tamzarian changes his character, he can't go back being the no good street punk that he was having taken the moral high ground. And there's a part in his backstory that I like that pushes his character to do better in life.
>>730878424I just realized Skinner is basically Zack and Armin is Cloud
>>730878779Yup. Simpsons did it.
>>730878832No wait. Nevermid. FF7 came out January 97. That episode came out September 97.
>>730877451>uncunnyToT
>>730862851A lot of people say the Panda scene is when the Simpsons jumped the shark but for me I remember watching this and realizing "hey, this shit is not fucking funny at all".Upon rewatching I've realized that there's traces of Zombie Simpsons even as early as S5.
>>730870701I hate how crisp and clean everything looks. All the characters are always on model, and newer characters have too much detail. Backgrounds have a isometric look.
>MMMMM TEENAGERSWhat did Homer mean by this?
I just gave up and accepted im part of the problem. As long as they keep making them, I will keep watching them. This and AVGN are all that get that treatment from me. giving up star trek was shockingly easy.
>>730862851Season 15 was my last one. 16 was hot vaginal cum.
nice
>>730863612archer got 14 seasons? I remember my girlfriend saying its gay During the first season, damn nigga I'm old/
>>730862851So basically, somewhere around season 12 ~ 14 is the best place to stop if rewatching the series then right?
>>730862851during the tony hawk episode. I was devoted to the show before then but the humor felt so forced, I caught myself trying to laugh but then wondering why none of the shit landed
>>730870701these are supposed to be cool girls? aahahahahahha good joke
>>730863612Holy shit. I didn't know Bobs burgers had more than like 5 seasons max. That's fucking crazy man.
>>730873784South park went the opposite kinda going from the kids to being the wacky Randy Marsh showFor a while I dunno if it still is I haven't watched it in a while
>>730876731It might be saved as long as you had an EA account and some friends. If a friend backed there's up, there's a good chance them having you added saved yours. I didn't export mine and found it on some list of saved cities.
>>730862713I only know about this game because Chris-Chan was a confirmed whale. He likely won't care because as his father once said: "He'll quickly master one game and move on to the next!"
>>730875375I rewatched this epsiode recently because of its high rating on the IMDb chartIt is dated as fuck, one of the dated epsiodes of anything I've seen
Mobile games need no preservation, they will not be missed.
>>730877408https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/The_Man_Who_Came_to_Be_Dinner>During a trip to Dizzneeland, the Simpsons board the wrong ride, Rocket to Your Doom, and are transported through the galaxy to Kang and Kodos' home planet. They are held captive at the local zoo, and the inhabitants decide to eat Homer.
>>730863713I long for a Simpsons retro collection. Yeah they're mostly shit, but they've been out of circulation for so long. Arcade1Up did a Simpsons cabinet, and the arcade game was on XBLA year ago, so it's not like the property is off the table. Really feels like the only holdup is having to deal with multiple developers/publishers. Maybe Disney is weird about black Smithers or anything with Apu. The 2007 movie game was also great, for what it was. One of the few good movie games from that era.
>>730880198I had no friends in the game, and I searched several times the archive to no avail.
>>730877564Gimmicky episode that parodies Boyhood - Barthood. It's fairly solid and has a similar vibe to that future Christmas episode that was really good.
>>730872605>shilling shitty current pop culture shit every other episodesIt unironically aged WORST of all the shows
>>730880332>2015I think I saw that episode, but I don't even remember it. Goddamn. Thank you anyway. I stopped watching in 2016 so I thought it was a recent episode.
>>730868287Add an o to fx dipshit. Guess who owns it.
I saw a modern Simpson episodes and its hard to say exactly what's wrong with it, but felt like it was entirely on "autopilot" while adding a bunch of "REMEMBER THIS THING FROM OLDER EPISODES!?"
>>730880734That's like conflating ABC sitcoms with Disney Channel sitcoms
>>730880416but enough about south park
>>730879980Archer humor is fucking peak lad. You've been missing out
i used to play this on my jailbroken ipadhad so many donuts cheated in
>>730880091How do you stretch Dad is miserable and the kids are autistic little faggots concept out that long?
>>730862851On my rewatches I always stop watching at the episode where Homer gets disemboweled by a badger as a one-off gag. The decline is gradual enough overall for me to not care and just keep putting on the next episode like a zombie, but that scene in particular is always what finally wakes me up and shut it off.
>CTRL+F Sneed>3 resultsdead board
>>730881447One of the most forced memes in human history.
>>730881418>HOW DID DA BADGER DO THAT WITHOUT RIPPING YA SHIRT??I would think Lisa would have a more horrified reaction to this. Holy shit lmao
>>730881213Some people really swear by bob's burgers I'm surprised it's still going on too but I was always surprised by it still going on after the first season
>>730881501reddit is that way
>>730862851I stopped watching probably around 2004-ish.And thank god for that, this is what the Simpsons is nowadays.https://files.catbox.moe/k3jnlf.mp4Marge genuinely sounds like she's dying.
>>730881213It appeals to the primary cartoon-watching audience of autistic faggots.
>>730881816She looks how she sounds too.
>>730881816Shit like this is why you don't run a show for 3 decades.
>>730871889Sometimes...dead is better.
>>730871889I wish Futurama would stay dead, every time they bring it back it just gets worse and worse.
>>730862851My family only had seasons 1-8 on DVD when I was growing up so I just watched those over and over. >>730881816Jesus Christ, the writing and the voice...
>>730881816Holy FUCK that's grim
>>730862851After the movie.
>>730881816HAWK TUAH MAN
>>730868218late millennials had a lot of other stuff to watch, Simpsons was boring by comparison
Can /v/ do the Bartman?https://youtu.be/Q7ycjcQHoaw
>>730881816No fucking way that's Julie Kavner, not even Goku's VA sounds this terrible for her age
>>730862713>>730862713Wait. But the game was shut down months ago.
>>730862851the tim and eric episode
>>730868218I was born in 1989 and never once gave a shit about the Simpsons. In the 90's when I was a kid I wanted to watch the imaginative stuff on Nick and Cartoon Network. In the 00's when I was a teen I wanted Adult Swim and Newgrounds Flash bullshit.
>>730883829She's always had a fucked up voice and it just got worse with age. I think she still tries but she just can't do it anymore.
>>730884570I can't even imagine doing Marge's voice for 30+ years was easy on her vocal chords. Selma and Patty are probably rough too. I completley understand why her and to a lesser extent, Dan sound like they do.
>>730862713I liked it.
>>730862851Season 11 episode 5. It was the pinnacle and could never reach those heights again.
Played a shitton of it like a decade ago, never got all the monorail
>>730877408>"We have new writers and said writers want to 'expand' on lesser used characters without understanding why said characters were used sparingly"Did you know that Carl was black? Did you know he’s from Iceland for some reason? Did you know that he actually hates Lenny? Do you like that his new VA doesn’t even try to sound like the old one?
>>730862851The last episode I can remember watching is when they end up stranded in Italy and Sideshow Bob has a family and hes the mayor of the city because his gigantic feet can crush grapes in record time, which saved their wine industry. I knew the family would fuck it all up for him but the way it happened was literally:>Lisa gets drunk on fucking wine and starts rambling about all of Bob's crimesI know Marge/Homer are some of the worst parents in fiction but god damn can you at least monitor them so they don't do this? And why is Lisa the smart one, even drinking?
>>730884714>Selma and Patty are probably rough too.Actually she can still do them pretty well, since her normal speaking voice is basically just the Patty and Selma voice at this point. I don't even think she has to point on a voice for them anymore.
>>730881816This can't be real because it's actually painful to listen to her talk. It's the audible equivilent of one of the characters constantly having an overly detailed and realistic looking broken bone sticking out of ripped skin. Nobody can possibly be watching (or listening) to this without being repelled and having to turn it off.
>>730882570Mmmmm… boy…
>>730881816God the animation is so shit. It's somehow both both overanimated and underanimated at the same time
>>730885110>Did you know that he actually hates Lenny?I'm going to take a big axe and just chop Simpsons lore off cleaning at the end of whatever episode the Sneed one was so that they can stay in the canon. Nothing that happens afterwards is real.
>>730884714They really should just replace her. They somehow found a black guy autistic enough to do a decent Cleveland impression for FG. Surely theres some really autistic Simpsons girl enthusiast who can do a good Marge impression. I mean its not even malicious, she will literally be incapable of talking some point in her life.
>>730885293Don't forget that Lisa accidently tears off Bob's suit, revealing his prison outfit that he still wore underneath for some fucking reason
>>730881418That’s an obvious sign of seasonal rot of any show. When they rely on grossout and gore when the previous seasons rarely, if ever featured it
>>730885110>half of a duo who’s entire shtick was just being the slapstick work friends>down to them both having last names that were just permutations of their first names>down to one of the best jokes being that Homer can’t tell them apart and had to write “Lenny = White, Carl = Black” to remember which is which>”But what’s his story…”
>>730881816there is no way this is from the actual simpsons, I don't buy it
>>730863612>Tfw King of the Hill died for Cleveland ShowOne of the worst decisions in corporate history. Fuck Seth MacFarlane.
>>730862851ironically this list ends before they reached a mini renaissance when Al Jean started have less ofa role in showrunning and Matt Selman started bringing in fresh showrunners to make episodesi don't want to oversell that its good or not, but its certainly betteryou got "A Springfield Summer Christmas for Christmas", "A Serious Flanders", and "Lisa the Boy Scout" all being pretty good episodes"Pixelated and Afraid" is genuinely a great episode though, and is a huge middle finger to the MARRIAGE IS ON THE ROCKS shit that Al Jean loved to push
>>730862851Around season 13 or 14
>>730877408>We have new writers and said writers want to 'expand' on lesser used characters without understanding why said characters were used sparinglySimpsons characters nowadays are a mockery of what they had been, it's like someone heard someone say "this character is like this" without ever understanding the real meaning of what the character did in reality in the old episodes.It's like the meme about lisa saying she hates her dad because he doesn't care about her and then followed with a bunch of images where he cared about her, it's basically I heard some woman say he doesn't care about her so now I'm writing fanfiction about it.
>>730862851i'm 36 and have never watched the simpsons up until about a year or two ago i've only seen up to s10 thoughi like king of the hill much more
>>730878006>It also really helps having a cast of characters that generally get along with each other, dysfunctional families are an exhausted form of comedy and American Dad really doesn't rely on it like the Simpsons or Family Guy do.its ironic, Stan's entire family is designed around being people who are supposed to annoy him as a red blooded neocon. (hippie daughter with a loser boyfriend then husband, weak nerd son, wife with a slutty past, and a gay alien) but he still has to love them since they're his family. and that love is genuine as shown in so many episodes. they could have kept this all in the family type of premise but decided to move on from it even klaus has ended up being one of the funniest characters in the show because they realized being the family's punching bag got old
>>730885293>And why is Lisa the smart one, even drinkingProbably someone's self insert.
>>730886347How can people like you even exist? They used to air Simpsons multiple times everyday. That’s like not watching Spongebob.
>>730881816hearing an 80 year old woman say incel is jarring
>>730885936KotH was a zombie at that point, it needed to be put down regardless
>>730885293>And why is Lisa the smart one, even drinking?She is the lizard queen
>>730886508Oh, I’m not a doctor…
>>730886487>that titan academy posterOkay that made me laugh
>>730886483I'm only a few years younger (32) and I've only seen a handful of episodes. It's like that one anon said earlier, when I was young I was too busy watching spongebob and when I was the right age for the simpsons I was too busy watching adult swim. even if I tuned into fox for its weekly adult cartoons, simpsons was already past its prime and I was more interested in that week's KOTH or family guy.
>>730886483i just didn't care for most animated shows when i was younger, i barely watched tv at all
>>730884819Is that John Carmack in the red?
>>730879367>Upon rewatching I've realized that there's traces of Zombie Simpsons even as early as S5.If this wasn't from an infamous episode, most people would probably assume it was said ten seasons later than it actually was:>"Wow, Paul McCartney! I read about you in history class! But where’s your wife, Linda?"
American dad did the reverse of family guy and the Simpsons where the later seasons are better than when it started for the most part
>>730885110>Did you know that he actually hates Lenny?Huh?Literally the only thing I know about these two characters is that they're gay or friends or something.
>>730862851i never really watched iti know about the memes tho
>>730886786i think its fair to say that american dad has more good episodes than the simpsons simpsons has around like what? 200 good episodes? maybe at most 250 if you want to be really generous and pick out decent ones from zombie simpsons but the majority of american dad episodes are good. i can only name a handful of episodes that i skip over
>>730862851I started watching the simpsons this week. I took a sneak peak into "and maggie makes three" because I knew that episode was one of the best ever. Just watched "Bart gets an F" and it was also amazing.At what point should one stop watching?
>>730885293Imagine how humiliated Seth MacFarlane must have felt after watching this. Millions of people around the world have seen this episode, and will continue to do so forever. Just imagine how he must have felt after the most influential cartoon show in western history took a big fat crap on his life's work. Absolutely brutal.
>>730862713I played it. Stopped playing after I found the family guy version which I watched a lot more
>>730886975and Seth thought a good comeback was Quagmire raping Marge and killing the whole family, he was SEETHING
>>730886975Is this what lead to that infamous “Quagmire rapes Marge and then murders the Simpsons” cutaway?
>>730886975And then they did the crossover episode
>>730886975Unironically, Family Guy did this exact joke multiple times before Simpsons.
>>730886975i still can't quite figure out why seth made the same exact show two times
>>730886925Are the TBS seasons of American Dad with watching?
>>730886786That's because Seth MacFarlane stopped writing for AD after the pilot and the writers rightfully realized after 2 seasons that doing the generic political left vs. right commentary wasn't as interesting or as fun as going all-in on the wacky glownigger hijinks with Stan and Roger with the rest of the family. AD benefits from having a cast made up almost exclusively of crazy people.
>>730885380I'd call it misdirection
>>730862851>>730863612engagement farm slop posts.
>>730885293I liked that episode. It was pretty funny that Lisa was the one that fucked everything up>And why is Lisa the smart one, even drinking?This is the kind of thinking that ruined her character Lisa shouldn't be too good or smart to drink some wine she's 8 years old
>>730872605American dad honestly grew on me the longer it went on. It got a lot of genuine laughter out of me, like the old west episode. Roger and steve proved to be great assets to the quality.
>>730887105>Seths comeback to South Park making fun of him was to make a gay joke about Trey/Matt which they've done themselves>his response to The Simpsons is Quagmire raping and killing the familyHes like an actual child coming up with really petty, weak insults. I guess it aligns with his whole douchebag liberal personality. Guy can sing and he likes Trek but hes got thinner skin than most anons here.
>>730885110>>730885465>>730886880I think it's just a large flanderization of Mountain of Madness. The "aw nuts" thing was the first time they ever did the "Carl doesn't like Lenny" joke.
>>730872605They made the characters increasingly over the top but never made them unlikeable assholes.Also Francine is fun instead of just being another insufferable TV mom.A show where everyone can just go on whatever weird adventure they want without some bitch going MMMMMMM >:( or PEEEEETAAAAAAAAAAAH goes a long way.
>>730886487lmao why arent there s0isimpsons images they are perfect for them
>>730886487the fuck is wrong with her face?
>>730885483Cleveland doesn't do anything ever since his show got cancelled, Brian took his place as fourth buddy when he left and never gave it up. Marge is more complicated to replace since she's one of the MCs.
I hate how most of family guy's jokes are explaining what's going to happen, then showing it happening. I heard this was a comedy crutch but I forgot the specific term
>>730887362Francine works because she gets shit on for being a retard just as much as all the other dumb characters.She's not the boring "always right voice of reason" character that female characters usually end up being in these types of American sitcoms.She's just as weird and crazy as her husband, which explains why they're together.
>>730887569She's already been replaced by Kavner's own dying vocal chords.
>>730863612Futurama is by far the best thing on there, followed by King of HillI say this in terms of general writing quality and character depth
>>730887146Three times, Cleveland Show. I Sune its just a easy template.
>>730862851The final straw was "When you dish upon a star", I'd watch it if it was on after that, but that's when my child retard brain stopped liking it.
>>7308628512002. Show was becoming increasingly shittier for years prior, but 2002 was when it became completely intolerable to watch. I think it was the episode of them going to a ranch where Maggie was doing a Britney Spears dance. Anyways if you're new to the series then i suggest starting at Season 3-4 before anything else.
>>730887764I still liked it after that, but I do think that's the first episode where I straight up didn't like it and it was because as a kid I'm just sitting there thinking "who are these assholes and why are they being mean to Homer?"
>>730887723The cleveland show started with a great first season. Similar but still different setting from family guy. But it quickly turned to his usual.
>>730887105>>730887114Oh wow you weren't kidding he literally does say the plagiarism gag is what made him do ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NADjn9CkJ8&t=481And he fought with Fox over it too when they said it was too far Also I totally forgot this gag existed
>>730886483Anon, people like that do exist. James Rolfe didn't even watch the show growing up.
>>730887918>Simpsons does a harmless 5 second jab>Seth has a 3 minute sequence of Marge fighting off Quagmire, then going home to cheat on Homer again followed by Quagmire killing them all Heh this is his idea of getting even? Is his brain broken?
>>730887723He would have done it a fourth time if he had managed to do the Flintstones reboot he wanted
>>730876102>that's peak "someone on youtube told me it so it has to be true" garbage T. Zoomer who wasnt around back then.
>>730873560Moment Mike Judge stopped being involved in the production outside of VA (season 5), is when tge quality shifted.
>>730872605It kind of fell off after TBS bought them out but those first 10 seasons or so are so good. I reckon it has something to do with McFarlane sort of abandoning the writers to their own devices after it stopped being a Family Guy replacement show.
>>730875014Its not that, most of the writing team that worked on seasons 1 to 8 quit after the Spin Offs episode because they were done, either exhausted because they ran out of ideas or because they didnt like the new management that severely limited the time they were allowed to spend writing the episodes.
>>730884148Fair enough I mean I only watched it because I didn't have cable and 1. it's the only cartoon that aired on a weekday that wasn't on PBS 2. I think it's the only sitcom in general that aired around that hour, I think ABC had news then or dateline or somethingThey also used to show two episodes of it from 6PM to 7PM, till one got taken away for TMZ. Seinfeld used to soon after it and that's how I saw Seinfeld too
>>730887918>>730888112This is a Drawn Together-tier gag.
>>730879684To be fair, it wasnt intentional by Matt Groening for shit to be off model in the 90s and early 2000s. Much of that had to do with the cheap outsourcing from a South Korea studio. And as time went on they had to increase the size of the Do's and Don't's. Basically, all the errors were one giant happy accident (with exception to season 1 which is rancid in quality) that did influence the humor of the show. My favorite was the giant bulging deer in headlight eyes around early Season 5.
>>730863612>Plagio di plagio that highThats actually very funny.
>>730886975To be fair, American Dad was less than a year by the time this episode aired, so to shit on it so early seems kind of a dick move.
>>730888130I remember reading Seth wanted his Flintstones to be like the original and was pressured by the network to make it like FG instead.
>Fat Tony died and got replaced by his twin brother, Fit Tony, who was skinny. At the end of the episode he eats a lot and becomes fat.>Marge died and Homer kidnapped her long lost twin sister Merge and hypnotized her into thinking she was his wife. They've been living together sinceThese 2 plotlines will always be insane to me
>>730887146Family Guy got cancelled (twice actually) and Seth pitched a similar show that got picked up, amazingly.
>Take THAT internet!>I said "take THAT internet!">Hellooooooo, the internet is stupid, nice Pets.com puppet LOSER
>>730873560AD held on for a very long time, I think it was really quite good until Fox cancelled it. TBS era is garbage, The Two Hundred was the last hurrah
>>730888902What about Skinner not being the real Skinner, and Springfield decides to banish and memory-hole the real Skinner?
>>730889385Apparently it was basically canon, considering Lisa basically made a snide comment about him with his real name in later season.
i still dont get it how can some obscure western cartoons can have artistic godhood tier animations compared to ANIME 1fps stretched flat colored jpegs, even with popular mainstream stuff like opm
>>730887764I had to look up the episode name because I had a feeling I knew which one it was and yeah that was the first episode I watched that I thought was legitimately badWatched the series for the first time 4 years ago, stopped at season 14 I think
They’re making a second movie.
>>730881816theres something just wrong about hearing marge simpson say the world incel
>>730887918Thank you for the timelink so I didn't have to listen to rantsona say nothing for 10 minutes
>>730862851Around season 16.
>>730871824Marge fucking sings lullabies to her children in early seasons
>>730886925only americans care about american dad, the show is a literally "who?" elsewhere
>>730863612Cleveland show felt like it lasted way longer than that.
>>730863612King of the Hill fizzled out, but I do admit I kinda liked it ending with Bobby and Hank grillan together.
>>730881270>>730881447dead meme from a dead board lol
>>730887157they take a bit to come in their own. there's a bit of a tonal whiplash compared to the seasons previously. its A LOT dumber but as it goes on it gets some of the funniest character moments in the seriesdudebro klaus is the best character
>>730891686It's a little time capsule of early 2010s. You can tell it was made it's a Obama product
>>730862713Why removed? Did they misgender someone?
>>730891617It has a Japanese dub since 2022.
>>730892116>American Dad in Japanese owned by Disney complete with Disney+ logothis is so cursed.
>>730862851In need of being updated.
>>730887651Simpsons (90s) > king of the hill > American dad (3-8) > futurama pre cancellation > simpsons 00s > the rest
>>730881816please god just let it die
>>730862851Watching newer Simpsons was such an eye opening experience learning what I hate the most about modern comedic television. If they aren’t beating the joke into your head over and over (because they don’t trust the audience to understand it or they are really proud of it, neither being good) they don’t give anything a moment to breathe and literally every fucking second of dead air has to be taken up with dialog no matter if it fits or not. >old man yells at cloud Yup, short form content/TikTok have been nothing but a net negative to every other medium and nothing will change my mind.
>>730892285>putting american dad above futurama pre cancellationjesus christ
>>730881816Blart! What the devil are you doing on that confounded computer tablet device?
I miss it, bring it back.
>>730862851I never watched it consistently. I always preferred Family guy
>>730862851My Plex server stops at Season 10, but it's still the most popular thing on there.
Oh I get it! The store used to be fucks and sucks!
>>730863612Family guy having 424 fucking episodes is absolutely wild to me, I remember watching the same two or three seasons late night before bed when I had school the next day for literal years, same with Futurama
>>730892842>Reddit GuyGo back
>>730892702There are more good AD seasons than Futurama.
>>730892986Yeah, it's a shame the writers are just waiting for FOX to finally cancel them at this point.
>>730888112Seth is extremely petty and hates when anything criticises his work or when he thinks its stealing his thunder. just look at how much hate he threw at Bob's Burgers when that was getting big
>>730889678Well produced animation looks better than Badly produced animation, who knew
>>730893915>self titled anime for animation>has the lowest overall animation quality of audiovisual media in existence by farthe irony is funny
>>730881816BLART! WHAT THE DEVIL ARE YOU DOING ON THAT CONFOUNDED COMPUTER TABLET DEVICE?HAWK TUA, MAN!
>>730885465Monke just like me fr fr.
Why do so many Americans like King of the Hill? That show is such a snoozefest.
>>730894465>has the lowest overall animation quality of audiovisual media in existence by farDo you have any proof of this or are you just basing it off anecdotal evidence
>>730871889Considering the writing quality has gotten worse and worse every time they bring it back, Futurama should've just stayed dead.>"Sometimes, dead is betta" - Herman Munster
>>730892854How do I see that?
>>730862851Which ever episode revealed that Skinner isn't actually Skinner. Dunno why that pissed me off so much as a kid.
>>730893430That was the impression I had watching the latest Holiday special. Like it was a middle finger for making them have to write one. It was probably the least funny thing I have ever seen. Which is a feat in itself as making something incredibly unfunny can sometimes loop to being funny but it couldn't even do that.
>>730894816yeah, my bored quarantined jobless high autistic self going through multiple shows per day ranging from fotm to decade old torrents in shady sites with 1 seeder
>>730875232Hardly can be called a dud though, it's still remembered and referenced to this day, unlike most of that list.
>>730895713Groening hated the crossover they did with Simpsons.>The two reasons I am opposed to this crossover is that I don't want any credit or blame for The Critic and I feel this (encroachment of another cartoon character) violates the Simpsons' universe, The Critic has nothing to do with the Simpsons' world. [...] [I'm] not criticizing The Critic. But cartoons have their own style and I really have nothing to say about The Critic. Through all the years of The Simpsons we have been careful about maintaining their uniqueness. Sure, there have been other cartoons who visit, but it's usually just one scene, often for a sight gag.
>>730870514I kek'd
>>730889678It's for people who think they're too mature for the Simpsons/family guy
>>730862851Season 13
>>730885110But everyone loves Lenny
>>730895996There was a crossover? All I remember is the gag shown in >>730875323
>>730862851Sometime a little after the movie is when I stopped I think
