cause they thought it seemed racist

dat nigga turned yellow not white you bish

China men animators fucked up his colors. his hair is fucking blue

Early PC shit, it would look bad to have a subservient black man.

Remember when Carl was white?

But that's Karl, not Carl.

>Karl makes a return in a later season
>He is out of the closet

JUST

>it would look bad to have a subservient black man.
That joke sort of falls down when you consider Lou the Policeman

>calling 2 characters the same name in a cartoon

For what purpose?

but having only 3/4 black recurring characters on a show with hundreds is fine.

Niggers aren't gay.

Lou was still a figure of authority. Smithers is Mr Burns bitch.

90's political correctness, better than what we have today.

So when was the exact moment that The Simpsons died for you?

Pic related.

it's not that niggers aren't gay, but if they are they are out openly and flamboyant.
This is because the negroid brain has less capacity for repression of passion, which also explains why rape and other criminality is so commonplace amongst their kind.

That's the typical elitist Sup Forums answer rather than the truth which is when the show actually began to decline in series 10 onwards

>b-but I was really invested in the Skinner character

You only hate that episode because Sup Forums told you it was bad. When you were younger you didn't think it was different to any other episode.

>Skinner

Post and opinion disregarded.

This is literally the best episode you fucking retard

I said moment, not episode. Learn to read.

cunt

fan theory is that the creators realised they didnt want the only main black character to be the lackey/'slave' of the white evil billionaire.

truth is that all the frames got sent to asia to be coloured, and they fucked it up.

it's cited in "dead homer society" as a turning point of the series, because it's self-referential. Which is dumb because the Simpsons has made self-referential jokes since season 2, although usually about Bart.

It was a gook fuck up but honestly they should've stuck with it because nobody gave a fuck and now it's just more obvious a mistake.

Matt tried to make an effort to make the show racially sensitive.

>joke immediately after wasn't funny
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons_Spin-Off_Showcase
>this was the next episode

This is correct, anyone that argues against it is a fucking drooling pleb that belongs on reddit.

Which season was the itchy and scratchy movie episode where Lisa mentions Michael Jackson and Dustin Hoffman doing voices but not using their real names?

Yeah, exactly, and Homer's Enemy is good self referential because it's actually putting aspects of the show in a different perspective. It's not cheap reference humor (which, like you said, is something they did even before that episode).

He was always white. He just had a tan in those episodes.

My fav epidisode tbqh

Those jokes are funny? Even at his funeral Frank 'Grimey' Grimes is shown no respected and Homer is celebrated despite being a buffoon.

>teaches the lesson that no matter how hard you work or how talented you are there will always be someone better than you without even trying

pure programme

>people pretending to laugh at Homer when hes asleep spouting cliched lines
>perfect representation of Zombie-Simpsons

POTTERY

more like they couldn't have him gay if he was black

I think when Karl appeared, Carl wasn't an established recurring character yet.
or whatever.

Why did lisa become a feminist misandrist?

Funny how things turn around. The next new character will probably be a black tranny

There are a lot of johnnys, tonys and vetos in the sopranos

learn to read you piece of shit

I thought the lesson was don't get into a nerd rage autistic fit just because someone dumber is getting paid much more.

Lots of spaghetti and meatballs too!

where's that from?

also
>R. Sakai says he was offended by previous sushi bar show (One Fish 2 Fish)

fag

Just and editing mistake that has been turned into a Simpsons racist meme. Notice how he doesn't have blue hair anymore either.

>overly submissive and worshipful servant
Borders on racist unless he's the same color as everyone else.

Because we started to respond to the character. We even started to like him, and he started getting popular.

They just wanted use to like him even more so the character could be come even more popular .

Look into your heart, you know it to be true

Please tell me Sup Forums isn't this fucking retarded. Black people have the highest rates of homosexuality you dull cunts, but they repress it more.

Kill yourselves.

so many wrong answers when there's only one answer that's right

>poor little white boi

Heard an interview with one of the writers, apparently he was always meant to be white (yellow) but there weren't any specific notes on him when they sent the rough drawings to Korea to be animated so they looked at his hair and because it was curly/kinky they assumed it was supposed to a black character. By the time they got the animation back in the US there was no time to change it so they just went with it. That's why in season 1 of the Simpsons Smithers is black. It was corrected for every season after. It's also a similar story as to why Marge's dress is green. There were no specific instructions given and it was a Hungarian animator that just randomly decided it, and that one stuck.

I know it's not a funny story, but it's genuinely what happened.

what did he mean by this?

Why are Karl named charaters always blonde?

>Obama isn't married to a man

>Mr. Burns will never prep Smithers' BBC
why even live
