Not to mention that Moviebob has demonstrated that he'd rather spread communicable diseases than cure them (e.g. COVID and Greg Abbott).

This dude gave up all of the foundations so that he could grasp at the moon, and wonders why there are no jetpacks or rocket ships to take him.

When the Simpsons finally ends, most Americans will think, "Huh, end of an era," maybe try to recall the last time they even watched an episode, then swiftly move on with their lives. There will be a deluge of retrospective articles, best-episode lists, and wokescold essays about the show's "problematic" nature from every media outlet that remotely covers pop culture, all of them written out of a sense of obligation rather than actual passion for the show. That will go on for a few days at most before everyone moves on to the next thing. That Bob imagines it will be any more significant than that shows how out of touch he really is. When was the last time he had a conversation with someone who wasn't blood-related to him?

This, exactly. Bob's misreading of The Simpsons is nothing short of jaw-dropping. It hasn't truly been culturally relevant for at least 20 years -- the last time I recall it making a stir on its own (as opposed to woke efforts to get rid of white actors voicing minorities, a la Apu and Carl) was waaaay back in the Bush years, when it devoted a Treehouse of Horrors segment to a very on the nose anti-Iraq war message. (And even then it was anti-Bush media that went into joygasms over it rather than the audience actually seeming to care.)
The Simpsons exists as a cultural force now primarily as meme fodder ... and all those memes come from the first 10 years or so, when the show mattered. That probably won't change with its cancellation, and even if it does there's no way it's going to trigger the society-wide stroke Bob muses about.

If we were to use Moviebob's logic, Bob should be thrown in Gitmo for the simple crime of being a Moviebob... and the fact that he has literally promoted bioterrorism (I know using Greg Abbott as the prime example is getting repetitive, but it is on record).
Moviebob: "Call me when [police] 'entrap' people [sic*] who aren't already wastes of skin."
Reality: "So you don't want us to notify you when police entrap you? Got it."
*[sic] used because Moviebob didn't write "people" in quotes
I interpreted this post differently: If you're doing something that has Moviebob stating that he won't accept your podcast's invitations, the people working on your podcast are literally doing something right.
I responded to these tweets previously. As someone who actually has college debts, with few exceptions, anyone who voluntarily takes out loans to further their education should not be given a financial free pass because Leftist dipshits like Moviebob (a double redundancy) think it would be good for the economy. (Being lured in by false advertising is one such example where college loan forgiveness is allowable.)
Moviebob: "Tell me you've never actually studied the history of 20th Century youth counterculture without actually telling me."
Internet rando: "I'm a Moviebob fan."
I was never much into the '80s metal scene, but over the course of 40+ years, Dee Snider went from"we're not gonna take it" to "bend over and take it". That's the only reason why Moviebob would consider Snider a "good guy".

Bob should have popped over to Wikipedia and taken a look at the ratings for The Simpsons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons#Broadcast
Last season it averaged 2.3 million viewers, the highest episode had 4.9 million. Eight years ago the show averaged 5.0 million viewers. When Bob graduated from high school it was averaging 15 million viewers. Yet he thinks it would be devastating to Gen X when it ends even though they probably haven't watched it in at least 20 years? People probably watch far more syndicated Simpsons reruns than they do new broadcasts and that won't "end" when new episodes do. Nor will it disappear from streaming.
Futurama isn't similar because it's been a different kind of project mostly divorced from ratings needs since it was first rebooted. (That reboot got around 2 million viewers ten years ago on Comedy Central, compare that to the above current Simpsons ratings on a broadcast network.) And it's coming back to Hulu of all things.
Lastly, he's wrong about the Wii being as old now as the NES games on Virtual Console were. 2022-2006 = 16. 2006-1985 = 21.

What happened to them is 100% entrapment. A bunch of guys were hoodwinked by multiple actual feds and multiple CIs (Confidential Informant, snitches on the FBI's payroll) into this plot to kidnap Whitmer that even if they wanted to actually do it it would've never worked. All of this broke in October of 2020 and was meant as both an October Surprise for the Democrats and a way to enshrine Whitmer by making her a tragic victim.The Whitmer kidnapping might have been another glowie project (archive of Buzzfeed article). Bobby thinks what he watched in movies is likewise valid in real life.
Let me guess what Bobby will say next: "If they weren't ignorant Skydad-worshipping Trumpsuckers, they wouldn't have placed themselves in the vice grip of their violent fantasies and their anger."
So I'm absolutely clear for any non-Burger Bobologists out there, the FBI created a situation out of whole cloth where no crime was being done, convinced a few angry guys that Whitmer was a tyrant that needed to be taken down, created the ONLY possible avenue for the guys to take if they wanted to go through with it, personally drove them to a seller who would sell them bomb making equipment who didn't exist because he was a fed, and when they didn't even have nearly enough money to buy the bomb stuff which they already knew the amount that they needed the feds arrested them anyways. This whole conspiracy exists because the FBI invented it. They just needed some actors to play the part and by actors I mean regular Americans to take the fall so some cocksucker could get a promotion and by God did he get a promotion. This is the equivalent of a fed grabbing someone off the street, giving them a box of matches in front of some gas cans, tackling them to the ground and declaring that they have saved the day while the other guy gets 20 to life.
Here's a better explanation from someone who's smarter than I and not as filled with hate towards their government.
Tim is correct in saying that this was the same thing done to a number of Muslims after 9/11. Bob doesn't care because those people are racist because he said so. Reminder that Bob has openly called for some sort of Ministry of Truth because there's too much information going around and we all need to singing from the same hymn sheet. Free thinking is how we get racists, donchano?
Never, never, never trust anyone who works for federal law enforcement or any of the alphabet groups. These are the same people who attacked the Weavers on Ruby Ridge, stood atop of burnt bodies of children in Waco, actively sold guns to Mexican cartels, and they will throw you in a dungeon never to be seen again if it means them getting some sort of kickback.
Oh no! Nymph is attention whoring, again. I hope he doesn't deactivate his twitter, again, and then come back before the deactivation is permanent, again.News flash! Photo of "Nymphomachy" discovered!
Pad your bra with something dude!

Does anyone remember when Bob insisted that current Simpsons (around 2014) is far superior to 90s Simpsons? He should have been fired from Escapist right then and there.

Early Simpsons was a cultural watershed because it (along with Married With Children,) portrayed a working class family, tackled relatable issues, and put together a memorable cast of characters that weren't just common archetypes. The humor was both subversive and brilliant. The Simpsons also dragged animation kicking and screaming out of the Animation Age Ghetto, where all non anime cartoons were made for kids. There are few shows that could be said to have that much of a cultural impact. Fewer that could be said to have changed everything. Even Rick and Morty (which is in many ways considered a phenomenon comparable to the Simpsons) eventually fizzled out thanks to its cringy fans and the uneven nature of its writing and production schedule. (Also, I never had to worry if Matt Groening was going to tip his fedora to excess or showcase one of his nastier fetishes while I was watching the Simpsons, just saying...)
I can still remember years ago, having dinner in the college commisary with my friends, then going to the student lounge to watch the latest Simpsons and King of the Hill episodes. To this day, we still make references to episodes from that time. I'm guessing a lot of its current fans are Gen X kids like me who watched the Simpsons during the "cooler" parts of our lives and want to feel the way we did then. I doubt many of the viewers are young kids watching it because they like it and think it's relevant. As for Bob, I'm sure the only reason he's interested in the Simpsons is because it took a woke turn in recent years, and because he wants to pretend that he's a cool, disaffected member of Generation X who's been a fan of it since the beginning. Bob was barely Bart Simpson's age when the show first came out, and all of the subversive humor of it probably flew over his head. (He probably laughed at the Itchy and Scratchy segments thinking they were genuinely supposed to be funny, instead of laughing at the fact that Bart and Lisa were laughing at something that was too gory and violent to be on a kids show in any reasonable universe.)

That era's been over for 15 years...... I've never seen a cultural property last this long past relevance for no other reason than the execs in charge of it can't imagine a world without it, and, make enough money on other ventures to no longer care if it's profitable.
It truly is a zombie franchise, never seen anything like it.
They say you can't go home again? Simpsons is proof that even if you hunker down in the basement, everything around you still changes and one day you wake up realizing you ended up just the same.

Bob's attachment to the Simpsons stems from him viewing Homer as representing him, since Homer is also a fat, alcoholic exceptional individual.

But homer has had sex. (he has been fired and rehired for the same job though)
Look at that list of things Bob has never accomplished!

His "medicine" is brain uploading. Well at least in his case it should be easy. In the delightful words of @Vesperus, Bobby's whole consciousness can fit in a Nintendo Switch with room to spare for Mario Kart.
We have always been antisemites. Fess up! Especially you, who criticize certain economic arrangements!
(I presume ML means Marxist-Lenninist)
What Bobby said has some truth: it isn't only the Jews who want to control the world -- but then it doesn't follow that Jews don't want to control the world, or that we should guard against them.
We have always been antisemetic, even before we invented the written word. And yes Bram Stoker was an antisemite!
So is Bobby saying that Jews have been seductive sex symbols all the time?
Deep State and Soros.
I agree with Himbo in that people grossly overestimate the transformative / revolutionary potential of art, but that is a holdout from Romanticism, not Modernism. The wrinkle introduced in Modernism is the lionization of crass commercial art (as opposed to "art as personal expression"), which reaches its quasi-religious zenith with postmodernism -- that's how we got MovieBob.
Gender ideology is inimical, if not disruptive, to the working class, that why Bobby and co. shill for it for the sake of the global capitalists.
Luke finds himself beset by Nurgle cultists.
I don't know the covid situation in Vietnam apart from the fact that they have reopened their border. South Korea is seeing a huge spike of cases recently, so is Mainland China. My suspicion is that countries that have contained classical covid last year are now getting raped by Omicron.
As I say, China's draconian quarantine policies have not been proven helpful against Omicron, but Bobby is a Believer of the Almighty State.
Luke with Alzheimer's must be a laugh and a half.
No context, but Bobby resolves to be even less patient and forgiving.
Sonic 2 is the biggest video-game movie opening ever, giving Mortal Kombat (2021) a fatality.
Batman.
The end of Rowling's tyranny is in sight! (Variety article).
But I don't want to see head-choppings; I want to see trannies neck themselves.
For Bobby, it means MCU will have one fewer challengers.
Because saying "women need their own spaces" is exactly equivalent to "KILL ALL MEXICANS!"
Bobby's Angels.
Gilbert Gottfried died, leaving behind a problematic legacy.
Careful Bobby; you risk being canceled.
I thought the presents are for a 6-year-old kid until I saw the card.

It speaks a lot about Bob's inability to take a L when he has to be a asshole to even the slightest disagreement. The guy wasn't even ripping him a new one, or even being confrontational, but Bob HAS to be the guy that has the last words. Or else, His ego would not allow it. It does speak how truly miserable he is when not even his fans can't be safe of his bobtisms.
And he still wonders why people don't like him.

RIP to Gottfried, may we always remember his oratory skills in his erotic reading of 50 Shades of Grey.
Also, the Simpsons is so culturally irrelevant, except to be used as an example of something that's lived on well past its prime (maybe Bob senses a kindred spirit in that regard?). I was trying to think of the last time anyone I knew really talked about it, and aside from going back to watch some of the real early episodes a few months ago, I think the last I heard about the Simpsons was back in '07 when the movie came out.
