I never watched the Simpsons because all the quotes people use as jokes relating to it has terrible humor
>Hating the Scully era
You need Jebus
I haven't watched it in years but I still jerk it to the porn, a lot.
sneed
>Tinkie Winkie's symbol is a martini
after the intro.
what's so funny, zoomer?
Seasons 10-18 were okay and watchable. Change my mind Yea Forums
>Guy thinks a joke from something old is funny
>Call him buzzword for "young people who only like new things"
Boomer meme posters could not get more retarded
>Mr Rogers
too far
It peaked with this moment, good point to end the series on tbqh.
Fuck off
Based
Cringe
Wouldn't go as high as 18, but yeah I'd say the Scully seasons + some of the early teen ones are okay for background noise. Like if you're intently watching it and comparing each episode to preceding ones as a hardcore fan the difference in quality is obvious, but it's still at least recognizable as a comedy show trying to have semi-coherent plots and shit.
That isn't to say I think they're good or really like them either; just that there's a gap between "not great" and "literally unwatchable, how did this make it on TV" and that for a couple years Simpsons sorta managed to stay in that middle ground before it got to wherever the hell it is today.
and Suck off
The episode where Rachel Maddow guest starred. That was it for me.
Some Lisa episode
When Daniel Radcliffe was a guest star.
Girls Just Wanna Have Sums was the last real classic they did and that was as late as Season 17.
When the Gracie Films lady said SHHH.
To be fair they also had Ted Nugent as a guest star so they threw Republicans a bone as well.
>classic
>Season 17
Yeah, that was fucking rude. I don't need my tv shows shushing me.
I guess that was kind of funny and glad to see Ted has a sense of humor about himself unlike when they did Homerpalooza and some of the people they asked like Bon Jovi and Pearl Jam turned them down because they couldn't deal with being made fun of.
I'm pretty sure that happened after I stopped watching the show.
Guest appearances going to shit is what really killed the show for me. I'm watching the one with Burn's son right now and having a celebrity play a character and not themself is so much better than the insufferable "WOW IT'S ___ FROM _____" fellatio they've been doing for nearly 2 decades now. Elon musk and gaga episodes are horrendous.

Tony hawk/blink 182 Bart gets emancipated episode
Also; SNEED
Actually, that was the moment when I decided it was time to start watching again.
Piss off back to Yea Forums
Lisa goes Gaga was when it clicked for me that I wasn't going to get any further return on emotional investment in the characters.
Lisa Simpson had what would seem to be an important moment in her life happen in this episode, but it's not going to matter later at all because she shared that moment with a high-price guest character.
If I'd had any expectation that Gaga would return, or if she would even be accessible as a name-drop in a future episode, then I wouldn't have felt the same.
E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt) was when it clicked for me that I wasn't going to get any further return on emotional investment in the characters.
Farmer #1 had what would seem to be an important moment in his life happen in this episode, but it's not going to matter later at all because he shared that moment with a high-price guest character.
If I'd had any expectation that Sneed would return, or if he would even be accessible as a name-drop in a future episode, then I wouldn’t have felt the same.
sad
unless its patty/selma porn, then your good in my book.
You have to admit that Sneedposting is way funnier and quotable than any recent episode of the Simpsons.
Looking at episode lists, season 17 is where I stopped back in the day. Seen a few newer episodes here and there but that's it.
everything must return to status quo
otherwise marge would have kept her breasts because they would have been some character development.
Come her to see if this was posted.
Except Apu's kids+marriage.
>Boomer
I know you're retarded, but could you stop trying to be retarded
Why? The teletubies bit was funny as fuck.
not even mad lol
Also Selma's Chinese daughter who is now somehow older than Maggie.
don't summon him
Girls Just Wanna Have Sums was the last really good episode they did.
damn that movie is great
fuck simpsons
I miss The Fear.
>Not Sneedoking
Right here. Googling it I was amazed it was in Season 14 and not earlier.
My memory is spotty.
How did Homer make it out alive?
Why, because of this?
Can't find any fucking Moon Pop Rocks. Those meddling kids keep throwing them in cola for cheap stale memes.
This episode had a lot of things wrong, but it had memorable comedy moments. it was very mixed.
It was orangeade
If you look closely, you can see a pitchfork and a wheel with eight spokes. The wheel, of course, represents the Dharmachakra and 'the Noble Eightfold Path' of Buddhist religion. Earlier critics of The Sneedsons had misinterpreted the pitchfork as a 'trident', and seen within the picture a balance between the forces of righteousness and sin (represented by Sneed and Chuck respectively). However, this is not the case - in this divine allegory one can clearly see that Sneed has triumphed over Chuck, removing him from his den of sin and banishing him to the bottom position of the sign (mimicking the fall of Lucifer). The pitchfork represents the agricultural values of the West, while the Dharmachakra the spiritual values of the East, and in their reversed positions in the image they have reached a harmonious existence through the utopia that the deity-like Sneed has created. Moreover, these symbols provide mirrors to the characters of Farmer 1 and Farmer 2. Farmer 1, represented by the pitchfork, finds in Homer two faults: firstly, his urban "cityslicker" existence and secondly his effeminacy of his hands, indicating that he does not do any farm work by hand. This is consistent with the pitchfork's symbol: it is a symbol of agricultural, rural work and traditional values of masculine hand labour. Meanwhile, Farmer 2's concern is righteousness and sees in Homer's "Gucci loafers" a consumerism and concern for self that violates the second division of the Eightfold Path (a clever pun on his name "Farmer 2"). All of this is an allegory for the weighing of Homer's sins as he enters the divine shop of "feed and seed". These two words are references to the Gospels and the Word of God: feed is a reference to how the Word is described as the "bread of life", while seed represents the Word's promulgation by the apostles.
Yes, and birds say tweet. Next!
this and where bart becomes a horse jockey
People who think panda rape is bad have never seen Season 29 or whatever. Those episodes are so bad that they actually defy comprehension.
Worst. Opinion. Ever.
When the movie came out. It felt like a nice point to say goodbye to something that was on the way out.
>Rodney Dangerfield
>not playing himself in that episode
You aren't very familiar with his act, are you?
Not sure actually. I think somewhere between 2000-2002 I stopped watching it every week.
Pretty much this. It's like a curse
I've heard his standup routines and they're pretty much just 1950s women driver jokes. Eh.
Sneed off
>Having taste this bad
I tell ya, newfags today got no respect, no respect at all. No regard, either.
Has anyone ever tried to Photoshop this so that...
I remember this is when I stopped caring but I still stayed around until season 17 or 18 I think. iirc this was the 300th episode and there was a bunch of promos advertising that, Blink 182 has got to have one of the most phoned in celebrity lines in the whole series
Episode 300 was in Season 14. Depending on your count, it would either be "Barting Over" or "Strong Arm of the Ma".
It was literally the minute I discovered anime. The change was absolutely immediate.
>According to the Complete Fourteenth Season commentary, the FOX network insisted that the 300th episode be scheduled specifically on February 16, 2003 so that there was time to plan a huge promotion for the episode. However, the actual 300th episode would have already aired two weeks prior.
Interesting. Well at least I'm not crazy
>Blink 182 has got to have one of the most phoned in celebrity lines in the whole series
Most guest stars don't know how to voice act. And actually the very worst of all might have been Michael Stipe's "Mmmm, curds." in Homer the Moe.
The episode with Bart being in a boy band.
Watched it when I had cable and was bored, never actively sought it out. So I would say I stopped watching it regularly in about 2009?
Who else could it be?
I heard he quit because his gf found his porn stash and she made him choose between her and the porn.
I never stopped watching Simpsons or Family Guy.
Not because I like them,
but because I hate myself.

Post the cutest Simpson girl pic you have user.
He literally called the guy a zoomer. That's boomer meme posting.
>BUT THEY'RE DIFFERENT THINGS
They're literally the exact same meme but one is "YOUR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE YOU'RE OLD" and the other is "YOUR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE YOU'RE YOUNG". They're even drawn on the same fucking base.
Simon Cowell was pretty bad too.
Thanks for the lift, Tony Hawk! I gotta go now, Tony Hawk!
Oh... let's say Moe
This one.
Sneed!
Looking up names of Simpsons episodes, I can almost immediately recognise which episode it was, but I can't recognise a single episode from Season 19. That's also the same year the Simpsons game came out as well as the Simpsons movie. So I stopped caring in 2007.
Season 11 Episode 6. Nothing could reach the heights of the previous episode.
They should do a flashback episode so we can see the store under its previous ownership.
How come Bart have actual friends like Milhouse, Nelson, etc while Lisa's friends like Janey are just background characters?
Bart's class was better defined from the beginning: Milhouse, Martin, Nelson, Sherri and Terri, Richard and Lewis, Wendell, Uter, etc.
It's a sign of sloppiness in latter years when the class field trips consist of Skinner, half of Bart's class, Lisa and Ralph.
>Bart's class was better defined from the beginning: Milhouse, Martin, Nelson, Sherri and Terri, Richard and Lewis, Wendell, Uter, etc.
Mrs. Krabappel is also a much more developed character than Ms. Hoover.
The one where Bart joins a pre-teen pre-enlistment military group or some shit and Marge tries to make Homer go down and sort it out, but he ends up enlisting.
Not because of the story line or the fact that it an obvious left lean to it. No it was a single scene.
>Marge telling Bart that she wants him out of this or something
>Bart claims Marge let Lisa join a "paramilitary group" or something
>Cuts to Krusty the Clown on a red carpet in a fur coat
>Lisa jumps out, yells fur is murder and then throws red paint on Krusty
>She stands around awkwardly and says she's a big fan
Basically it was a shitty Family Guy-esq cut-away joke.
Honestly I haven't watch the show in ages but I can't really think of the exact moment that made me say "NAH, I'M DONE." It was really just a sad decline in quality that made me perpetually less interested as time went on and it just sort of stopped becoming habit. I have memories of up to season 15ish, but only vague ones.
I remember when they hyped the 300th episode to hell and back and all it ended up being was "Hey look it's Tony Hawk! Hey look Homer is skating! Hey look Lisa mentioned that it's the 300th episode!". I never made an effort to watch the show again after that. Even as a kid I recognized how shitty it had become.
I have a friend who says he has a memory of how they managed to escape that, like it doesn't cut off to the PBS thing.
I remember that episode. It had Kiefer Sutherland as the guest star.
Yep, it's the same episode as OP's image. Homer and that foreign girl are falling from a burning tower into lava I think, and right before they land, it immediately transitions to Betty White going "Oh, that Homer." (even though she was part of the mob that was attacking him in the first place).
