This isn't rock bottom anymore, it's one or two layers under that. Is this really worth keeping the show alive?

I know pleanty of normies who still like the show, so sure.
pretty shit fäm.
The Simpsons died in the 90s
Aren't they about a year too late?
Simpsons episodes are conceived a year or so in advanced.
Any trend they decide to reference is guaranteed to be late.
The Gen 1 theme parody physically hurt.
The bit with him giving Maggie the phone was amusing. The rest were pretty low-hanging.
>Peekemon
I bet those writers all jerk themselves off in a big smug self satisfying orgy everytime they make a stupid name changes like this.
>I'm playing Peekeemon Get, see-
This is where I stopped.
They're 20 years too late.
>"Do unto Snickers as Snickers do unto you."
All of the voices sound so strained.
Have normies already forgotten Pokemon Go?
Isn't this also a Mononoke reference with the three-horned deer?
That's what happens when 30 years pass
Its not even a narrative anymore, its just a sequence of short skits.
I occasionally see a passing news article about Pokemon Go updates or events, so some people must still be interested.
It's dropped like 90%+ of their players
The fact that a Pokemon parody is almost always just Gen I hurts.
80% of a billion is still a lot of players.
5m daily I believe
According to a Forbes article it still has around 65m active players. Not daily, though.
I still play like twice a week.
Why the fuck does modern Simpsons do this so much when old Simpsons would just reference stuff directly? Like that episode where Marge called it Ren and Stimpy, or how they even used to call it Apple in-show and latter started calling it Mapple. The fuck is this?
They're getting old and don't really try anymore, but then Mel Blanc really didn't try anymore after about 1963 either.
I mean im sure matt groening wants the show to stop, but FOX has the simpsons and family guy by the balls, so theyll never stop. So it doesnt surprise me that theyre trying to use ANYTHING as content for never a never ending series
Cheesy barely-offbrand names are supposed to be funny
>Look it's exactly Apple but it has an M at the beginning so it's not Apple it's Mapple it sounds virtually the same except for a one-letter difference isn't that hilarious
Why would he want to stop the money train?
family guy was literally canceled by fox (but renewed) some years ago
67 or so I think.
Marge's voice actor literally sounds like she's on the verge of death. How old is she?
It's not even accurate for fucks sake. This game was made in the US.
only eggs can sustain her
66
But I think this is less on an age issue and more of an "I've been straining to do a raspy faux-smoker's voice for the past 30 years" issue
what the fuck
>new simpsons
>Homer is responsible, knows what part of the power plant is and wears safety gear
what the fuck happened?
They're probably going to end the show in Season 30 when the VAs current contracts expire.
It went full mobile get with daily rewards for playing on a desperate attempt to keep players, last time I even paid attention was around Christmas when they released a Christmas Pikachu I think but Pokemon go wanted me to download like 500 mb worth of updates or it wouldn't let me run the app and I said no
Blanc stopped doing Yosemite Sam in his later years because the voice was too much for his 70-something chain smoker throat.
>Star Wars exists in The Simpsons Universe while Cosmic Wars also exists
The hilarious part is they had the fucking audacity to mock Lucas by making him a midget and this was in a season long after The Simpsons had ironically declined in quality. Not even a Star Wars fan but that pissed me off a lot.
The Simpsons would've became a much more interesting show if Marge had died and it followed Homer trying to raise three kids....And then marry Mindy his true happiness.
They've said it before that they have so many fucking episodes that they can just synthesize the voices using the vast amount of voice clips that can be pulled from.
>Major VA dies.
>They just control+F their archives of the old scripts.
>Alter the tone of the individual words/phrases in a computer to make them sound consistent.
>This is actually easily doable in today's world and would possibly be faster and cheaper than recording the lines anyway.
Christ.
We at one point, are gonna reach the point in Simpsons where most of the lines are just composite copy and pasted lines, all altered to sound the same with the same tone, and pass it off as new lines
Imagine
>mfw guy in russia got 3 year in prison for playing pokemon go in church
>russia so booty blasted by homer playing pokemon go in church that they ban this episode
>Pssh, I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it
I still play Go every day. I don't even enjoy it. I think it's just a regular habit, like drugs.
Though Christ, playing Fire Emblem Heroes really puts into perspective how shitty PoGo is. How the hell did they fuck up such a golden goose.
Isn't Fire Emblem Heroes like Pokemon Duels? Aka RNG booster packs to win? I doubt that would generate them that many money.
The thumbnail looks like the Pokemon Jade cover
Didn't they do a shitty short on it a week after it came out?
Liked how they danced on Grimeys grave though.
>Decarabia
Sides obliterated.
Although it seems strange that it doesn't have continuity with the older Pokemon parodies.
What, are you claiming that Battling Seizure Robots: X-Trem Barasu isn't a real thing?
That was terrible. The Yale parody they did recently was pretty good though.
one year fucking late
>that long, useless skunk attack
The show became familly guy so slowly I didn't notice
youtube.com
Between Pokemon, Porkymon, Sparklemon, and Pikamon, which is the best series?
>Made in Japan
The Ganesha joke made me chortle though
>Some guy quit his job and abandoned home to catch them all
Yeah, I wonder what happened to him.
Yeah too bad it wasn't a good Drowzee mock up.
>Homer dancing on Frank grimes´s grave
Chinpokoman.
Not canon to The Simpsons.
That was pretty amusing at least.
ok, Yu-Gi-Oh! then.
>that part about stabbing and killing and maiming
In a video game that features none of those things, why did they have to grandstand here about it? Really reveals the "writers room filled with old men who think video games are the devil." They're just so hip and "with it."
People do typically get a little rougher sounding with age.

Old interview from 1990 where Donald Trump tells a CNN reporter to get fucked (yep, his beef with them goes way back). His voice was a lot softer-sounding back then.
>Homer immediately afterwards does the exact same thing Lenny did.
>Even tho Lenny and Carl just witnessed homer go into the reactor core, they instantly forget for the joke and lock there best friend in.
>Really reveals the "writers room filled with old men who think video games are the devil." They're just so hip and "with it."
This guy is projecting his issues with his father so hard it's not even funny.
The only good vidya parody I ever seen in one of these cartoons for adults was the WoW episode in South Park.
Remember when The Simpsons made a WoW episode with Marge?
But OP, heaven is just below rock bottom.
only bit i laughed at
Cute, user. Are you also an old man who thinks all video games are flaming swords and murder? Keep shaking that cane at kids to keep off your lawn!
What religion?
Underrated
>Remember when The Simpsons made a WoW episode with Marge?
Honestly, no. I'd probably stopped watching by then.
Its obviously because in every simpsons videogame parody ever there is gore amd violence. The probably thought it would get laughs.
Weed is a hell of a drug.
It's an out of touch joke from out of touch writers. In the 90's this might have been funny, at least enough people wouldn't have firsthand experience to know every game isn't Mortal Kombat. But these days enough people play video games now to know that's not on the nose.
This is like if someone in-epsiode claimed comics are too violent and are corrupting their youth. Enough time has passed that it just isn't a concern people have anymore.
Why though?
Everything after the 2nd Gen is hot garbage playing off your nostolgia
>It's an out of touch joke from out of touch writers
You're surprised at this? Springfield used to be this greasy blue collar town and today they do nothing but hang out with celebrities, go to film festivals, and wine-tasting competitions because the writers don't know how to write about anything except their life in LA hanging out with celebrities.
As I understand it, most of the old, long-time writers got axed some years ago to save money and they got replaced by fly-by-night freelancer Millenial nu male hacks.
Gen I parodies are lazy and require minimal effort since that was back when normalfags liked Pokemon instead of unemployed neckbeards who spend all day EV training to perfection.
Realy funny. Old simpsons sucked.
Gtg.
The paranoia over violent video games in the 90s was silly anyway since it actually caused juvenile delinquency to drop because angry teenagers could just reenact their homicidal fantasies in Carmaggedon instead of going out and stabbing people.
I remember, it was crap
>things as simple as running and casting a spell need a retarded combination of keys
They're deseperate at this point, they don't know if suppot SJW or mock them, i know the simpsons suppose to make fun of everything, but jokes are unfunny it sound like just words copy paste into the script
So what are the good seasons?
2-9 for me. Season 1 is way too crude in quality and 10 started to lose it. Some episodes in 10 are still good though.
>mfw
>doesnt post face
Its always summer under the sea
Blanc in his later years just made all his characters sound like Sylvester without any of the range or vocal nuances he used to do.
and pokemon died in 2012/2016
>Pokemon died in 2016
Not even /vp/ believes that.
I member, but I think it was based on Everquest mostly
They just need to release a good game for the Switch
Well I don't find this that bad and I actually liked South Park's anime references and that shit - what's annoying is that they make the same mistake as all those people who never played that game or don't know how it functions - the pokemon don't appear on a very specific 3D location, there are just coordinates that determine the location so you can see them everywhere as long as you're in a ~30 meter radius. It sounds like nitpicking but these jokes feel kinda stupid when you're aware of that.
>every Zombie Simpsons thread
>complaining about the bad pop culture/tech jokes
>complaining about the quality of the voice acting now
>complaining about Lisa
This is getting boring, guys.
It's age and money
When you're 60-70, you can't do as much as you used to, and you get paid money regardless of how well you can do them, just cause you're the voice of them
What should we be complaining about, then? Or are you implying that we shouldn't complain?
That's exactly what the guy you're replying to said, so thank you for that brilliant bit of insight, Holmes.
Looking at early Simpsons and Groening's comics, there was always a clear left slant, so modern Simpsons making fun of "sjws" is a pretty clear slap to the face of the values of how the show started.
this. and it was overrated even then.
how many producers does this show have?
