Yes.
Nolan Hernandez
No, social media was the end of the Simpsons. Social commentary was the big appeal for the series, and people having different outlets for it meant

yes. I think the one with Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger was really the first outright cringe-worthy episode.

Moe's gonna freak out! (formerly calm)

No, Sneed was.
Blake Myers
Holy based

Luis Cruz
Imagine being a moe poster, I would unironically kill myself
James Richardson
This. Kind of ironic that the show jumped the shark there
Levi Diaz
seeded and feedpilled
Wyatt Kelly
My jump-the-shark season is 9, not because of that fake Skinner episode everyone cites, but because you could tell they'd run out of ideas. The wit and flair was gone, the animation was too clean and sterile, guest stars were being crammed in with no thought or taste.
Logan Bailey
imagine the smell

There are a few culprits but no-one can deny the effect celeb cameos had on the show's overall quality
It started honestly enough, and I think Sam Neil's cat burglar ep is a masterpiece, but as the years went by it was some seriously diminishing returns
A year before Principal And The Pauper there was the Homerpalooza episode, which got a lot of flak at the time for its celebrity cameos designed solely to attract hype
It makes an interesting rewatch today, especially the general satire of 90's music, but man really is like the first good example of how bad things were going to get
Michael Brown
I laugh every time Billy Corgan talks in that episode because it's so robotic.
Justin Gutierrez
have sex
Zachary Barnes
>SMILING
>POLITELY
I will give them that one
Apparently they wanted Bob Dylan instead of Peter Frampton, that would have been weird
I think I might go listen to some Sonic Youth now, haven't done that in a while
Brayden Martin
MOMS GONNA FLIP
Ryder Flores
snased, simply snased
Bentley Ward
I always thought this was deliberate. Most of the stuff he says in the episode are tired clichés which you would imagine a stereotypical celebrity saying to a fan, so I thought he did it in that voice to add to the humour.
