No Fox cartoon has good animation.

I challenge that notion.

They really couldn't get Dan Castellaneta to do a better impression of Trump?

It's quite telling that the first scene, which is pretty funny, is from one of the earliest seasons (3?) while almost all of the other ones are from seasons 20 something and range from bland to ORANGE MAN BAD tier.

Out of the Orange Man is Bad shorts, I think this is the worst one:


Watch Dan struggle to try to do DT's "I make the best deals, the greatest deals, the best deals." He sounds like a dopey high school jock. And if there's one thing we know DT doesn't sound like, he's definitely no sports jock.

Also how they portray Mueller as this principled high and mighty morality figure when he's not.

Dan can't do his Walter Matheau Homer voice anymore (and couldn't do it past 1990, hence the current voice). So trying to imitate Donald Trump was going to be next-to-impossible.
 
The Trump voice is so bad and flat-sounding that even if the jokes weren't the same tired ones people have made thousands of times, they still wouldn't be funny.

I don't think I've seen Zombie Simpsons since 2009.

You know a show became crap when you don't miss missing 10 years of it.

I've seen the very occasional episode when I hear how fucked up it is and a few Treehouse of Horrors.
 
Way back when, we all hated Mike Scully for what he did to The Simpsons and would make fun of his daughter who tried to defend him on jumptheshark.com. Now, after 20 years of Al Jean's Simpsons, I'd kill for another Mike Scully season.

Lowkey, I always thought the initial seasons run by Al Jean and Mike Reiss, 3 and 4, were the weakest two seasons out of the OG 8 seasons. A lot of the episodes were pretty sappy and some are pretty flawed like Radio Bart, Homer The Heretic, Homer Defined, Whacking Day, Margie In Chains, a lot of episodes. Most were pretty good, but some were just kind of eh...

I mean, I get the message they're trying to go for, but more than not, Homer was in the right for not going because of terrible weather. The episode had so many mixed messages it just felt confusing.

Al was never a good showrunner, and the only reason seasons 3-4 are remembered are because the high points like Kamp Krusty or The Front were made by people who actually gave a shit about what they were doing. Not because Jean was on board. The low points make me feel like it's merely the quiet prologue to the never-ending stranglehold he's had since Season 13.

I didn't like the message because they made Homer in the wrong for not wanting to go to church. There's nothing forcing him to do so...so him getting fucked over by fate to be a good little church boy is kind of a shitty message in my view.

Also, shit. People like The Front? The fuck?

Why, you think it's bad too? I mean, the b-plot regarding Homer going back to high school was lame, but it wasn't a terrible episode compared to Homer the Heretic.
