THEY DID THE THING

I actually do think The Simpsons Movie has aged pretty well but not in a positive way.

It's very smirky and smug and self referential and loaded with meta humor.

It's a very reddit coded product and if you didn't know better you could easily mistake it for something that came out in 2019.
True, 19 years ago still feels fresh in my head, nearing my 50's.

I wish the I disagree but still love you sticker was still around. The SImpsons Movie was the last good hurrah of the Simpsons and one of the better comedy films of the 2000s.

Code:
% A despondent Homer sits on the kitchen floor, dipping the dogs into a
% jar of mustard.  Lisa comes in and opens the refrigerator.  "You know,
% there's buns in the cabinet" she comments.  Homer asks her help.

Homer: I know you're only eight years old, and I don't want to put a lot
       of pressure on you, but you've got to save my marriage!
 Lisa: Oh.  Okay.  Can I stay up?
Homer: [thinks]  All right.
-- Cheap advice, "A Milhouse Divided"

% Homer tells Lisa that he's worried that Marge might be thinking about
% divorce.
 
 Lisa: You've done a lot of crazy stuff over the years and she stood by 
       you.  Why would she leave you now?
Homer: [frantic] Cause there's lots of stuff she doesn't know about!
 Lisa: You mean, like your poker shack out in the swamp?
Homer: Uh-huh.
 Lisa: She knows.
-- No Cuban cigars, I hope, "A Milhouse Divided"

% Homer complains that they started off on the wrong foot.  We flashback
% briefly to Marge and Homer's state-line marriage from [8F10].
% Afterwards, we see them sitting outside a truck stop.

Homer: See?  You don't need to spend a lot of money to have a first-
       class wedding reception.
        [open a box, revealing a whale-shaped cake reading "To a Whale
        of a Wife"]
Marge: [sighs]  It's getting less and less likely you're going to yell
       "surprise" and have all my friends jump out.
        [Homer is fascinated by a Levi's truck passing by]
Homer: "Levi's."  Hey, you think that truck is full of jeans?
-- This wouldn't have happened if she'd married Ted Bessell,
      "A Milhouse Divided"

% Back to the present...

 Lisa: You're very lucky to have Mom.  [walks away]
Homer: [pause, dejected]  That's your advice?  Go to bed!
-- You get what you pay for, "A Milhouse Divided"
