It'll finally get canceled on a whim when Fox decides it's not making them enough money. Then the writers will try to write up some half-assed ending and rush it out.
The final episode will be an hour long, and it'll be full of outrageous shit. Marge will be cuckolding Homer with every single celebrity guest that's ever been on the show (Even the dead ones), with the entire episode just being Marge getting fucked one by one while Homer just sits in the corner, crying as he jerks off and eats a sandwich.
The B-plot will be Lisa becoming transgender, then kicking Bart in the balls nonstop. No cutaways or anything, it's literally just Lester (FtM Lisa) kicking Bart in the balls while screaming about he needs to check his cis white male privilege. Every single person in Springfield will take her side, especially the celebrity guests who are fucking Marge, and Sneed.
It ends with the Simpsons insulting its viewers for being such fucking idiots for continuing to keep them on the air, then they all have an incestuous orgy right in the middle of the living room before vomitting all over each other and slicing their throats. Dr Nick pokes his head in and says "BYE EVERYBODY!", because "LOL REMEMBER WHEN THAT JOKE WAS RELEVANT? XD". Also, he's getting raped by Moe right outside the Simpsons house.
The next 40 minutes are just the writers giving up: videos of them shitting on each other, having a huge orgy while covered in shit, footage of people getting shot in the head, footage of babies being skinned alive and fucked, etc. You name it, they have it all. The final 10 minutes are just Matt Groening high as balls on every drug imaginable, screaming into the camera about how much he hates his life before pulling out a shotgun and blowing his fucking brains out all over the wall. Then it ends, with no credits, context or anything.
It'll end up being so viewed and talked about, that it renews The Simpsons for another 10 seasons.
I remember being in fifth grade reading the school newspaper and there was a big article hyping this up. I remember thinking:
>wow I can't believe there is so much Simpsons
And then I watched it (Bart gets emancipated and lives with Tony Hawk). Almost entirely stopped watching the show after that.
it's a good movie
also this "zombie Simpsons" meme has to die. the Simpsons is a one-of-a-kind show with regards to just how insanely long it's been airing. like any other long-lived comedy show (late night talk shows come to mind) some episodes will suck, some groups of writers will lack any chemistry, some producers will have no fucking idea what the soul of the show is, etc. etc. while contemporary Simpsons certainly has less noteworthy episodes than its early seasons, it still occasionally churns out something "good" for the Simpsons which still manages to be better than most TV currently sucking up airtime (looking at you, NCIS). I get that it's heartbreaking how the Simpsons was once a groundbreaking show and isn't any longer; but shit gets old and still makes money so we end up in a situation like the one we currently find ourselves in. the only thing I really miss is Klasky-Csupo doing the animation, but when you're Fox I guess you prioritize raw efficiency over craftsmanship and the chinks are better at that.
t. a Simpsons fan who remembers watching the premiere as a child
The episode where Bart burns down the tree and the family lose everything and play/fight over a rag was some of the writers idea to make that as an ending
Nah mate they're ending it at Season 30.
Reasons:
>nice solid number to end on, FOX can hype it up
>show has been creatively bankrupt for long-time, even most hardcore fans abandoning it
>the brief revival in some form of cultural relevancy and popularity among the kids around the movie and season 20 hype was totally exhausted by the turn of the decade: younger kids prefer family guy to modern simpsons by far (current family guy being in the same state that 2010 era simpsons that kids and young adults like/know it and can reference it, but most don't actively watch new episodes)
>in 2015, was still able to make the 10+ million viewer mark; this past May, ratings reached an all time low when the season finale barely passed 2 million viewers
>Harry Shearer publicly expressed desire to quit, probably won't be on board much longer
>Hank Azaria has starring role in new comedy series already renewed for a new season in 2018
>majority of cast members in 60s and 70s, one major cast member recently died
>FOX almost cancelled the show in 2011 over cast members' high salary demands of $500,000 each per episode
>local syndication revenue drying up as fewer local stations renew their contracts to air episodes, opting for newer sitcoms instead
>cable syndication revenue almost nonexistant as Simpsons's 300,000 viewer average on FXX on weeknights pales in comparison to the 1.5 - 2 million average shows like Family Guy, American Dad, and the Cleveland Show get in reruns on Adult Swim and TBS
>streaming revenue non-existent as it's only able to stream on special "Simpsons-world" app which literally nobody will pay for, as opposed to Family Guy which is still one of the most streamed shows on Netflix
>Family Guy still makes a significant amount of money from each new season's DVD and digital download releases; The Simpsons stopped at Season 17 in 2014 because it wasn't cost effective
>essentially, when it ends, Family Guy will still be enough to keep the $$$ flowing
Jump the shark so yes
>Just lower your standards guys! Don't expect this cynical brand to be held accountable for their shitty quality!
Surprised no one has said the actual answer yet, the season 11 finale "Behind the Laughter" is the true series finale. Season 8 is the last truly kino season but 9-11 are worth watching just to see the decline firsthand and for that final episode.
cynical brand? you mean the show that sold itself out in billions of dollars in merchandise at the height of its popularity? you mean the show that has shamelessly been shoehorning in celebrity guests for literal decades now? the show with such classic early-season gems like "The Otto Show"? I'm not asking anyone to lower their expectations, goon. I'm reminding you that things change. The Simpsons wasn't legendary in a vacuum, it was relevant for the time and place in which it succeeded. It inspired an entire generation of television which inspired its own generation, so on and so forth, and thus it will never be what it once was because the medium has changed. however, as long as Fox makes money on it they'll keep making it and every once in a while people who give a shit about the legacy of the show will write episodes like Halloween of Horror and not another variation of "Mr. Burns is old"
>not stopping at 200
they have sneedposts for years on end
Sneeded chucks
Anyone else thought that this movie was one of the eeriest things to ever be shown to the public? The idea of all of Springfield being stuck inside a dome/firmament? I felt like it was a big slap in the face to us that we're stuck here.
sorry, too much /x/
I unironically enjoyed this flick
Unironically Maude dying
Still haven’t seen it.
We're all trapped in something much larger than a dome.
>doubledubs
Nah they confirmed Season 31 because they want to do the 30th Treehouse of Horror as episode 666
>yeah, it's dead, but I don't like the meme so stop please :^)
