The state of modern day Simpsons
Bad animation, formerly good
I'm so fucking sick of the characters staring wide eyes at the screen. It's like they're screaming "HAHA GET IT???"
Hey Marge i turned myself into a pickle haha freaking sweet haha
Haha I get it, they reference something. Wait a second... that's not a joke
LOOK AT ME MORTY
>The state of modern day Simpsons
Well, which is it?
None. It's based off Portland Or.

Oregon
>Birthplace of Groening
>Has mountains, desert and coastline all of which featured in or near Springfield.
Wtf the Simpsons now reference pop culture?? Wtf bros this has never happened before
...
uh oh...
PICKLE RICKERS IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT
PICKLE RICK IS GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME
is this real
The reference alone never used to be the whole joke though.
>you will never be this pathetic
Good motivator right there.
REFERENCES
ARE
NOT
JOKES
It's satire. He's acting retarded ironically.
...
I had a friend who said that he actually preferred nu-simpsons not because of the quality of the writing, but because "it looks so much better", even though it looks horrible and has this annoying "look how HD it looks" feel to it.
...
Tell that to Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer.
omg...
>Referencing other animated comedies more relevant then they are
Is this rock bottom for them??
>doesn't laugh once
>'oh my gosh that was so hilarious'
Appearing in a family guy episode was rock bottom. This is just the norm now.
kill him
Reminder that The Simpsons is literally where rejected Family Guy writers go.
He's the hero Sup Forums deserves
Do people even watch the show now?
I don't think I've seen a single episode since season 15 or 16.
Oh NOW I get it
The season finale of the last season only got around 2.1 million views, so no. It's a pretty dead show.
it is very uncanny
Homer sleeps nude in an oxygen tent he believes gives him sexual powers
nice try
Modern guidelines are incredibly restrictive, so characters look exactly the same in every frame.
This makes necessary the reduction in total frames during a scene.
The old episodes had much more liberty, which made the animation more fluid.
I also don't like the shadows and shading on every single thing. It looks too polished
>shamelessly referencing the hot new show in town
damn... there was a time where other shows referenced to the simpsons
It is sad
It made the show more interesting to look at too. It's the same thing that made Ren & Stimpy unique.
>inb4 john k shitposting
>modern day Simpsons
Formerly classic Simpsons
it's polished and soulless. Modern simpsons can't do anything right
Oregon.
Fuck I hate Groening for doing this.
Season 6 was the most interesting animation-wise, as they were "off-model" a lot and tried a bunch of crazy different angles. I think at the time it was an all-new animation crew.
You only have yourself to blame for still watching it.
2.1 million is still enough to make them keep going. Plus merchandise. Its not ending anytime soon unfortunately
Homer goes to college always stood out as an episode with off model animation but it worked
>If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment it goes to shit
>average
What is average about those numbers exactly
...
It's the average viewership across seasons, not single episodes.
But then it's just the number of viewers per season, not averaged...
not trying to be condescending here, i might be missing something?
Ah yes, I've heard of you 'pickle' 'rickers', the new kids on the block with your new meems. Well Sup Forums is a very traditional board and we won't deal with your shenanigans

>Started with 30 million views in Season 1.
Was this the first example of a shilled television show? Star Wars was the first shilled movie.

I cant believe this shit is still running. who the fuck are the people who still watch it?
me, I still watch it

are
you
retarded
A season is comprised of several episodes. The viewership did not remain absolutely constant for each of those episodes. When talking about the viewership across the whole season, an average had to be calculated across the individual episodes.
Now you can skip to the next order of magnitude and compare seasons without those fiddly precise numbers across episodes getting in the way.
its because it is animated digitally now instead of by hand. watch looney toons vs something modern and you'll see a similar effect
oh, as in some people watched the first 5 minutes and some the last 5 minutes?
Mexicans still watch it.
>top: normal behavior
>bottom: either a mental illness or animators showing off
4 you
This. They premake a bunch of parts and then pay Indians a fraction cost to animate it. A lot of studios have entire 2D turn around skeleton set ups for characters and just use that which is why everything feels so stale because it is. I suppose this is just the natural end result for a business that gets large. If you want creative endeavors in animation you will have to look for smaller studios.
look at how happy he is though
I wish I could be that happy
No, almost, but that's one level further down than I was describing. More like 12m people watched episode 1, but only 6m tuned in for episode 2, then 18m tuned in for episode 3, so the average viewership between those 3 episodes is 12m.
What the fuck happened between season 11 and 12?
>mfw browsing a sneed thread
Ah I see at last
I was focused on season viewership being every episode added together
The Sneed joke was in Season 11.
The writers saw the early viewership and tossed in the unsolved Sneed joke. Because so many people tried to figure it out, Season 12 saw double the viewers.
Added together and then divided by total number of episodes.
So does Virginia, Checkmate
Except desert
>cartoons
>normal behavior
you don't know what cartoons are
>Laughing at him, not with him.
Fuck me, just cancel it
It's not as polished as it should be.
Animes have shading *and* lighting on everything.
WE JUST WANNA SEE YA

I hate the new simpsons as much as the next guy but they have always threw in dumb pop culture references
A fictional state
>Sup Forums in a nutshell
>not bleach
>It's a "Chuck Lorre passes banal pop culture references as jokes" episode
I thought that the joke was that R&M fans are morons for making such a fuss about tiny portions of a sauce that could easily be purchased in bulk at the grocery store
Throwing in dumb pop culture references is one thing, literally showing you the reference as if saying "look at this pop culture reference a better show made popular! We are still relevant" is something completely different
holy crap lois
