The Official Simpsons Griefing Thread

[MTN Dew Rat]

The movie felt like a 1999 episode in an era when the 2005 episodes were the worst Simpsons episodes.

By God, we’re farther from The Simpsons Movie than the Movie was from the origin of the Simpsons.

The first episode after the movie came out (s19e1 I think) had Bart writing "I promise it won't take 20 years to make another movie" and um, I think that's gonna be a broken promise.

Yeah how crazy; 1990-2007, 2007-2024
The movie is basically the midpoint of the Simpsons right now, by years if not by seasons.

Edit: Though, the Tracy Ulman prototype Simpsons might throw that off by a bit, depending on one's point of view

I hate to say it but even as a kid I always found Family Guy funnier than the Simpsons. Family Guy is a lot of hit or miss but when it hits it hits, Simpsons always seemed painfully mediocre.

Id rather watch Peter Griffin being a psycho and causing mayhem than watch Lisa bitch at the audience about how much they need to care about the trees and the bees. The Family Guy writers gave up on characterization and continuity a long time ago so they could focus on throwing as much shit at the wall as they possibly could, and its yielded results in the form of the show being clippable and memeable.

Watching old episodes from early seasons and it's amazing how much the characters feel like actual people, how the town felt like an actual place. You know it's a silly cartoon, but somehow it feels like you're looking into another world that really exists somewhere.
And now the whole thing feels so damn artificial. The characters feel like characters, the town is just an irrelevant setting for the most part.

It's a big part of why things like Virtual Springfield and Hit & Run worked so well - it's a world that feels familiar and lived in. You don't really get that sense with the later seasons.

What I love about this scene and the episode in general is how Lisa messes the kitchen alongside following ther same childish lazy behaviour as Bart rather than it just being Homer and Bart being a wacky duo and Homer acting like a manchild while l,isa is a perfect adult in an 8 year old's body like what would happen in a season 11 or 12 episode.

Since I had a high fever yesterday, I started watching a Simpsons marathon. It was all great until I started watching this episode, Lisa the Simpson. I didn't care much for this episode, but now that I've watched the whole thing, I said to myself. “Man, I don't like Lisa at all in this episode.”

This is a constant problem The Simpsons has had from season 8 forward. Why do the writers feel compelled to want to give asspats to Lisa even when on several occasions she's wrong? This episode in my opinion is terrible because Lisa for the entire episode is a whiny pretentious brat and they want you to empathize with her for wanting to feel superior to her entire family. The final line of “Woohoo! I mean.... Splendid.” Describes my main problem with this.

You can throw crap all you want at the HomR episode, but the best thing that episode did was to retcon this shitty Gen Simpson plot point and replace it with the crayon in the brain.

The subplot of Apu and Jasper frozen is fantastic, though.

I don't know why, but I wouldn't be surprised if Matt Groening imposed this given how he loves Lisa the most out of the Simpsons Family.

The issue is there are so many bad Simpsons episodes during the Bush era that I'm not sure that I could make it that far.

I always found it odd how the unashamedly lefty show refused to, not just portray, even mention W. in any capacity.

I think it's eerily similar to the way South park tries to pretend Joe Biden doesn't exist.

The movie felt like a 1999 episode

The movie always felt lame and shallow to me, but, had it closed the series for good, it would have been an acceptable finale.

Lisa becoming a vegetarian was the beginning of the end.

That plot point didn't even make sense at the time.

Homer's brother Herb was an Elon Musk style engineering genius and Bart is depicted as being exceptionally bright when he's focused or doing something he cares about.

Even grandpa in his youth was depicted as being a very competent soldier with high leadership skills.

How was all that possible if all Simpson men had a gene that made them retarded?

I was going to use this as a counterpoint...

...then I realized it was from the same season as Lisa the Simpson

Hard agree on Bart, though. Early seasons showed that, while he didn't apply himself in school, he wasn't stupid. For example, unraveling Sideshow Bob's framing of Krusty, or tracking Krusty down after he faked his death. Various episodes show him to be a born leader, too. As much as the writers rub themselves off over making Lisa "le President!!!!", early Bart had a much better chance of making something of himself IMO. Maybe not President material, but hes street smart and has actual people skills, while Lisa can barely get her family to like her.

So Lisa can feel smart and special
