1 hour long simpsons episode

Why is this shit going to take one hour long?

>spider pig is back!
So fucking what
>The simpsons movie is almost 10 years old
Oh my god...

I'm sure Boco, Cordless, and the three other people who still watch the Shitsons will be interested to know this.

they probably had a bunch of ideas and wanted to use them all without having to choose which ones to use, explaining the bloated length

it'll all be a horribly paced mess with boring animation lacking any sort of voice direction anyway. standard fare modern simpsons

Christ, after that shitty-ass movie I hoped to never see that fucking pig again.

>spider-pig is back

IT ANGERS

I wish they'd never started writing that show for children

Why are they pretending Spider-pig was a popular thing?

It was always written for children, you just grew up.

I thought that Spiderpig gag was stupid back when I was in middle school when the movie came out. Who actually found it funny?

south americans

I feel so out of touch with normies today.

Because it was. That stupid ASCII pig was everywhere, from early social media, to forum signatures, to IRC rooms.

The test audience, movie changed quite a bit based on their opinions.

I feel like the Youtube comment section is a step below normies; a collection of dumb kids and people with genuine mental conditions. The kinda shit you see there is only topped by stuff like Miiverse or Roblox.

>tfw daydream about rebooting The Simpsons
>back to stylized animation
>back to golden age style of comedic delivery/tone, characterization, etc
>fire Al Jean and have some new blood as the showrunner
>except now it deals with modern culture, new fun characters are introduced, and the cast ages over time
>Fox would never go for it because it would be risky, expensive, and could potentially alienate whoever the hell is still watching the show

unpopular opinions: not all of the new simpsons episodes are bad

while a lot of them are bad, not all

>children

Because they've never done an hour long episode. That's literally the only reason, because they haven't done it.

Same reason why they keep renewing the show, because they haven't topped Gunsmoke yet (but they will soon).

>They've never done an hour long episode

Is it actually an hour long or is it just a two parter? Because if it's the latter, "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" would like a word with you.

I can just see it now, a gag where they acknowledge the episode is longer and they have nothing to do so they just sit around twiddling their thumbs for a full sixty seconds

They already did that in a regular length ep. It was in Season 5's "Homer and Apu" where they all hug Apu at the end and then there's a slight awkwardness until Homer notes that they still have some time left until the episode ends and suggests they hug Apu again.

There's a bit earlier in the episode too following the "Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart?" song where Homer notes that they wrapped everything up much quicker than usual, only for them then to hear Apu crying on the roof.

The Family Guy/Simpsons crossover also had a joke about the episode being longer, when Peter snaps at Lois outside the courthouse he says "Sorry, I'm tired because we usually only do these things for half an hour".

Cartoons love to slip in jokes for the adults who will most likely be watching TV in the same room as their overly-indulged children.

well taika isn't entirely wrong. the last 6 years have been a massive improvement over the 7 years prior to that. still not 'back to glory' though

okay so what, I heard this hour long episode was going to be simpsons doing gatsby like family guy just did. was that not right? because I couldn't imagine that being the case

not unpopular, just plain wrong.

Honestly it's not worth watching a show that has mostly bad episodes and the occasional not-awful one.

nobody is watching simpsons because it's "worth it"
they're watching because it's been a part of their lives for so long. it's like family at this point. the simpsons has made us happier than any actual people we know.
when your son loses his way and goes off to a life of crime, then comes back home, you don't focus on how he's still a fuckup, you praise him for holding down his new minimum wage job and try not to notice how all the drugs have permanently fucked up his head.

I checked the Fox tv schedule it's not an hour long.

Its a musical parody of the Great Gatsby featuring the cast of Empire.

In other words, most likely another mandate from Fox, like that opening where they sing Ke$ha.

Yes, its true. Not everything the Simpsons does is by choice. Try not to let that warp your fragile minds.

It seriously took them this long to piggyback (hur) off the only thing people remembered about the Simpsons Movie?

That's incredibly late, even for the modern Simpsons writers.

12 year olds like forced, "lol random" humour? Wow, that's so shocking.

I'm beginning to think they're bots and weird Indians.

>it was always written for children

Uh huh...

Pretty sure Spider Pig was in a bunch of episodes after the movie.

It's a single hour-long episode. I wasn't counting Who Shot Mr. Burns because it aired across two separate seasons.

It's just so unfunny and lost all its charm. I feel nothing from the new episodes. The writers are nihilistic assholes, complete jerkoffs who want to shoehorn their libtard opinions and stupid art film ideas and I'm so sick of the voice actors' shitty, formulaic lines, because they're greedy fucks who don't want to do more than two takes. It's like watching a WatchMojo video. At least current Family Guy gives me a sensible chuckle here and there.

...

>I remember this Simpsons movie
>2 likes

The level of intelligence of people who post comments on youtube

Why are they bringing back a gag most people got sick of and then promptly forgot nearly ten years ago?

>[thing] would like a word with you
I want to tear your head off for being so obnoxious.

Their out of ideas they have been for years

>nuSimpsons

>The simpsons movie is almost 10 years old

I watched it again yesterday. The politics have aged horribly.

Fuck off, Moviebob.

The writers find it funny because they're mentally unhinged or something.

>fire Al Jean and have some new blood as the showrunner

Get some people from Sup Forums, we couldn't do a worse job.

The movie could have been amazing if some of the outtakes/unused scenes are an indication. Tragically, Fox watered it down to almost nothing to appeal to normalfags who don't watch the show.

Oh yes we could.

But how are Lisa and Marge minions? There are no female minions because women are smart.

>and could potentially alienate whoever the hell is still watching the show

Boco and three autists on NoHomers?

I remember King of the Hill originally planned to have the characters age over time. Probably was for the best, though I would've liked to have seen a 10 years later special.

Youtube comments and Reddit are disturbingly similar. Well, no, scratch that, even Reddit comments are more intelligent than that.

I just don't get how it took 10 years for them to make an episode with the pig again

The only outtakes I remember are the ones with the secondary characters in springfield (singing the springfield anthem when they think they're going to die)

true

At least they didn't reuse that Colin dude, because fuck that guy.

Are you on the spectrum?

Put your trip back on, Boco.

He actually appeared in a few background shots

The writers intended for Milhouse to get his groove on with Lisa, but Fox made them use that character instead because "Derp he's more marketable to girls, durr".

Even worse than that, Yeardley Smith said that Colin should become Lisa's recurring love interest on the show, but of course the writers just ignored her.

It's like the cow fight scene from Kung-Pow. Only dumb normalfags think it's funny because it's easy to understand, when actually every other joke in the movie is funnier(in Kung-Pow's case anyway, I don't remember much from the Simpson's movie).

>The writers are nihilistic assholes, complete jerkoffs who want to shoehorn their libtard opinions and stupid art film ideas

Every last one of them should be shot, also Al Jean should be shot.

>Even worse than that, a female writer's opinion was ignored by the writers
fucking good

women are smart

...

I always imagined Nu Simpsons writers as being art school rejects who wear huge hipster glasses and wool sweaters.

/thread

They supposedly get 3 million viewers per new episode. But who the fuck are these people that would subject themselves to this shit?

I guess people like Boco with congenital deformities.

Forgetting--the show should go back to being what it originally was, about a town of blue collar greasebags, not hipsters who hang out with celebrities and go to wine-tasting festivals.

yeah really.

I always think they're graduates of Yale, Harvard and other upscale colleges like the writers on Futurama.

The original writers were mostly Harvard grads though.

Been having a real shit time trying to find stuff to watch and just relax to, saw a couple old episodes last night, the one where Bart has an army after the school bully and the one where he steals the head, from Season 1. It's been a long ass time since I've seen any episodes aside from a few new ones (usually just bits during channel surfing) and I'm wondering, when should I have a cut off line? I'm wanting to know how much I should be planning on so I know when I should start thinking of another series to watch.

I downloaded the movie in 1080p Bluray or whatever but haven't got to it yet, probably will tomorrow. I remember liking it decently.

This from someone posting on Sup Forums.

Stop at Season 10. It's not hard.

Good. Writers shouldn't take ideas from voice actors.

Yeardley is an idiot anyway if you've seen any interviews of her.

Especially not the fucking woman that's done what she has, fucking bitch.

Explain.

Yeardley is kind of a douchebag desu. she gets mad if they do episodes where Lisa is wrong or is shown to have any flaws, she thinks Lisa should be a perfect, always correct, and wholesome role model. also she tries to tell the writers how to do their job.

wow

I miss the Simpsums. Damn lazy Joe.

No clue why anyone would want to remember Spiderpig, but...

She doesn't like Lisa being sexualized at all. I think she spoke out against the rule 34 and also wants the writers to keep her pure.

Well, she is 8 years old...

Joe is a huge SJW anyway.

also she broke up with boyfriends on the spot because they asked her to do Lisa sex voices. like literally every other VA on the planet gets a kick out of making their characters say dirty stuff.

>I think she spoke out against the rule 34

As if that's going to stop us.

As bad as all of Zombie Simpsons is, I will especially voice my objection to the future episodes which I find almost cringe-inducing.

Lisa is basically just Yeardley's normal speaking voice though.

Not quite. She does Lisa on a higher pitch and with a slightly different intonation.

Well, Yeardley's not. She can call it disgusting, but she acts like they're making porn of herself.

at least Tara Strong knows how to have fun with the shit.

What. The. Fuck.

This honestly

What happens when you hire writers who really wish they were working on Futurama.
