The Official Simpsons Griefing Thread

The Simpsons Movie wasn't that bad pretty much just average Simpsons. I would rather watch the movie than any of the new seasons.

I bet you Kiwis $5 that by season 30, Mr Burns will be shot again.

They already joked about that in season 12.

I got down-voted to an oblivion on another forum when I expressed disappointment towards FOX and the Simpsons.

Are people without any standards anymore? I mean, really? The writers have gone to repeating jokes from season *5* (correct me if you must, I haven't cared in so long that I'm a little biased) and they manage to burn it to the ground even deeper than acceptable. I bet half of the crybaby generation from the early 2000's will not even notice the derivative.

End this. End it before anyone in FOX studios does something so stupid it'll end in more than an abrupt cancellation. Actually if shit hits the fan, make it so that both Family Guy (Seth has a grasp of reality enough to legitimately hate his own political cartoon?) and the Simpsons are re-animated using various animal feces. Stupid? Yes, appropriately and fittingly symbolic of their fetid husks? Most indefinitely.

You have my full agreement. I've said for a good five years that The Simpsons just needs to pack it in. Do one last huge musical episode as a goodbye, then just......just end.

It was just too much slapstick and lame jokes for me.

Anyway that divorce won't last long. It's like when Marvel or DC announce the death of character X in the next issue to boose sales only to bring them back sometime later...like they couldn't even keep the Ultimate version of Spider-Man or the Human Torch dead. Nobody falls for that shit anymore.

The only way this could come close to making me think it'd last a significant period of time is if they didn't hype the hell out of it before doing it. Especially since the plot's gonna be about Simpsons marital problems over a celebrity guest star. That's a plot they've used since 1990 with the French Bowler.

I recall in the episode 'The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular', one of the lines was, "Who knows what adventures they'll have between now and the time the show becomes unprofitable?" That was pretty funny, a knowing wink at the politics of television. I just looked that episode up, and it turns out it was made twenty years ago, back when The Simpsons was still relevant.

I also remember that they used to make fun of Family Guy for being a rip-off, even though at that time The Simpsons was already way past its best and Family Guy was actually still vaguely funny. And now they've done a crossover.

In fact, at this stage, I think the period of The Simpsons being shit is about twice as long as the period when it was good, and that's being generous. They've done every plot, they've used every gimmick, they've had so many celebrity guest stars that no one even cares any more. They've had Marge and Homer split up, they've outed characters, killed characters, just what's the point?

I thought the departure of Harry Shearer, an immensely talented voice actor who was instrumental in creating the show's massive supporting case, would perhaps lay things to rest. But no, they're going to replace him with other voice artists. This is a show that just doesn't give a shit.

And yet somehow it still maintains enough popularity to keep going. Who's watching it? Someone must be.

I'm sure he is. This is an instructional diagram so you know how the doctor performed the procedure.

Shit, I've been doing it wrong all these years. Still, they don't call me the No-Tell Mohel for nothing.

I thought, though, that Shearer decided to come back after all.

Ah, I'm a little behind on the news. So he really was just holding out for better terms. Well fuck.

The second Marge had to run in and grab the Wedding video, it was extremely obvious its purpose was so Marge can say to Homer, for the 80 trillionth time throughout the course of the series, that their marriage was over.

 

[AnOminous]

I haven't cared since Phil Hartman died.

 

[ChuckSlaughter]

I'm sure they'll manage to outdo themselves and come up with an even more retarded gimmick, like Bart and Milhouse taking their relationship to the next level, revealing that the sea capatain is actually an alien or having Flanders become a muslim.

The final year the show is on they should spend every episode destroying absolutely every single character with the last two episodes for destorying homer and finally bart simpson where it all started.

homer is the main star, he should be the last one left alive.
in a void, as homer desperately tries to get into "humorous" situations.
then homer finds
1782 12 + 1841 12= 1922 12

homer slowly dies in front of the numbers... the end

Imagine getting this worked up over The Simpsons in 2015.

 

[Konstantinos]

The Simpsons is going to continue airing forever. With the advent of sound manipulation technology, they'll be able to keep using the actor's voices long after they've passed away. No one cares about the actual quality of the show anymore so they'll be able to drop it to sub-Johnny Test levels of shit and still be able to turn a profit. The show is more of a brand now than it is a cartoon. Death, mediocrity, age, and indifference won't be able to keep it down.

the next time they come up for contract, fox will sneak in a clause that makes it so they can preserve the actors if they die.
it's the year 3038, dan castellaneta is a head in a jar.
he's not awake, he's not aware.
nano machines fire into his brain and force his vocal chords to shape and vibrate.
here we see the recording of the new simpson episode
"homer's adventures series 255-1: subseries 50094: part 229: episode 3"
fans say the simpsons haven't been good since series 254... which was 148 years ago

This was actually a couch gag

No real other place to post this, but it deserves to be seen.

Homer's leaving Marge for Lena Dunham. You can't even pretend this is going to last more than one episode.

Oh, and Sideshow Bob also finally gets to kill Bart in the Halloween special. Family Guy ran the exact same plotline a decade ago, and at least they had the decency to actually get some mileage out of it before revealing the whole thing was a computer simulation.

I never thought the Simpson'd find a lamer gimmick than killing off Krusty's Dad. Now they've found two, and they'll happen a month apart from each other.

My kingdom for this fucking show's euthanasia.

Lena Dunham. Isn't she the idiot who diddled her sister and like half of Tumblr defended it?

Fuck that, now I have even less reason to give a shit about this show.
