Bleeding Anus Murphy
>>87976406
He had been accused over the years but only recently has it taken off.
>>87976466
Not just accused, there was a civil case over a decade ago that was settled and sealed by the judge.

Family Guy CIA Edition is TBS' now, and they gave Family Guy Black Edition the axe.
>Yeardley Smith
>Singing
>>87976589
They have Bob's Burgers going for them.
>>87976589
So FOX doesn't own Family Guy ATF Edition at all anymore?
>>87976589
So what is Fox to do now?
Outside of giving Simpsons 600 more episodes.
>>87976722
Jesus just say American Dad you fucking retard
>>87976386
>It's a guuuuuuuuuuuuuurl power episode
Everytime
>>87976700
Okay, I will give you that. Bob's is alright.
>It's a marge episode
Has Family Guy made an episode where Louise becomes a police officer?
>>87976778
Also if you think about it, even if Simpsons ends in a few years like that other Anon said, Fox will cling to Family Guy like never before. I could easily see FG going on for another 10 seasons.
I think it was Strong Arms of the Ma where I noticed The Simpsons decline. This episode shows Marge as strong and commanding then 3 seasons later she develops agoraphobia after being robbed by a guy in a Goofy hat and it's just too much.
That same season has The Cartridge Family where Marge has a strong aversion to firearms. And of course The Principal and the Pauper so damn, season 9 really is probably where I check out.
>>87976834
Oh my God, No.
The newer episodes of FG are worse than new Simpsons.
The animation is so lazy. I'm just waiting for them to use GoAnimate for everything.
>>87976817
No but she did become obsessed with martial arts and beat up a bunch of New Yorkers which emasculated Peter.
>>87976863
Characters' personalities have pretty much always shifted like that though.
I draw the "good Simpsons" line a while before season 9 but it's not exactly because the characters' personalities are pretty flexible.
These early Marge episodes make me sad because they show that Marge is highly skilled and driven but she settled with Homer and sacrificed everything to support him.
>>87976863
Strong Arms of the Ma is season 14.
>>87976974
Y'know what they say.
"Love makes people do crazy stupid things".

Would any of you actually enthusiastically and soberly fuck Patty and/or Selma?
I know there are plenty of you who like thick girls, or hairy girls, or older ladies, and there's even some overlap, but are there really people who like all of that, plus the demanding footfag foreplay, AND smelling like stale food and ashes AND them never being impressed no matter what you do?
>>87976467
Yes. Don't forget that they brought back 24 and X-Files and are doing the black version of the former. Add in doubling down on nigger shows because Empire is a hit. It a shame because The Exorcist is the best show they've had in years but they buried it on Friday night. If they had anybody with a brain they would have put it somewhere else. For the life of me I can't understand why they haven't gone to 11 EST yet.
>>87977239
Nope
>>87977084
>>87976891
Even they seem aware of it, one episode where they went to the future had everything in this really cheap looking CGI.
>>87977239
I would've overlooked how old and thick they are. And I do like the smell of smoke. But I wouldn't bother if they're gonna act so damn bitter.
>>87977394
That is why I know they will be fine with going for another 10 seasons. Everyone involved gets a nice pay check no matter what they do.
>>87977441
I don't think they'd be bitter if you were fucking them.
Well, Patty would probably be emotionless and just use you as a sex toy.
Selma would probably treat you right though, she's the nicer one of the two.
PART OF US ALL
Let's all celebrate this great episode with a nice, cool, glass of turnip juice.
Have you guys found your other Milhouse yet?
>>87977394
Yes, but they use the same basic angle that most cartoons use.
And the use the exact same damn animations for all of their episodes. "Talking, and occasionally showing their palms".
CGI ain't shit if it's copying 2D work.
>>87977497
That would not be a good idea, we would end up fist fighting and then at some point we would have sex.
>>87977480
I'd rather have some root marm
>>87977465
Yea, I always figured I'd choose Selma for that reason.
Toot on son! Toot on!
If you guys don't mind would someone please acknowledge my geode?
>>87977549
Does it have four legs and ticks?
If not, I'm not acknowledging shit.
>>87977532
ONLY KHLAV KALASH
I have this weird urge to buy Mucinex and Disaronno,
Why IS there never a flying motorcycle when you need one?
So this is what it feels when doves cry
>>87977728
Take a ton of both at the same time, I dare you!
Say when
>Who Shot Mr. Burns
MAGGIE SHOT MR. BURNS

Dude, spoilers.

Spoilers for an episode over twenty years old.
Hey, the lamp's running away. So long lamp.
Heh just noticed on moes tv it's mst3k
I always love Homer's background D'ohs
Why would you even want the lollipop that's been in the baby's mouth anyway
>You didn't know about this marathon until 3 episodes ago
I want to die
Can (You)?
Who did you think did it when the episode first aired?
>>87978302
Anyone who didn't think Burns accidentally shot himself is retarded
>>87978302
Well I was 1 so...
>>87978310
Moleman
>>87978302
>>87978302
I was 2, I had no idea this show existed
>>87978302 Was for >>87978302
>>87978302
Smithers.
That's what everybody thought at the time except one guy who figured it out.
>mfw all the main episodes I want to see will air between now and when I'll most likely wake up
>>87978335
>>87978320
Fuck its too late for this shit.
Who cares about Mr.Burns, who killed Laura Palmer?
>>87978302
I don't even remember nowdays. I remember thinking it was something outlandish, but I know I didn't think it was Maggie. Probably something like Nelson or something.
>>87978302
The dog.
>>87978345
I think more people figured it out, but it wasn't just figuring it out, it was also calling in some bullshit number.
>AND THIS IS MY ASSISTANT HERSHEL KRUSTOSVKY
>hey hey
>>87978332
I'm in a close situation. I was one year old when this episode aired in 1995,
My first memory of the Simpsons was the Linguo one where it shows the same day from different perspectives. Looking at that episode it was in 2001.
I didn't get to see these episodes originally air and I'm watching some for the first time now.
>Slow down! This sidewalks for regular walkin' not for fancy walkin'!
Fuck I gotta start using that
Always thought that whole Smithers "turns out I did shoot someone that day, but not him" plotline was dumb.
Why even set up a situation where someone else was shot when there's only one gunshot heard in the first part? It's like they wanted to make people convinced it was Smithers really, REALLY sure it wasn't
apparently, moe szyslak's last name was introduced in these episodes ("from the phonebook") just to make him a suspect
the more you know
>That's a real good way of getting sick.
What did he mean by this?
>Man playing bread
>>87978490
I know that was a meme but I really don't understand that.
Video Game?
Sears Catalog.
Burns' suit! Burns' suit!
>>87978540
I didn't watch Twin Peaks until like 3 years ago so I had no clue what was going on as a kid
>Bullet still in casing
I'll let this one slide Groening
>>87978561
Same, though I still haven't seen Twin Peaks, though it is on my backlog. Should probably get around to it soon.
Oh god
>Dang fools drivethrough's not for a-parkin'
That whole scene was delightful
>That sperm joke
Intense shit right there! It is time for bed I will see you all tomorrow my friends!
>DUDE IT WAS THE BABY LMAO
I cant imagine being an overanalyctical fuckwit who watched this when it premiered
>It was Maggie
>>87978302
I never watched it live, only watched with the season box sets when they came out. I thought it was Smithers.My dad told me it was the baby when I asked him, I thought it was a joke and didn't believe him.
Member when they wanted to test out digital animation?
>Those flying toasters
Such simpler times
The Scoutmaster is my favorite villain ever
>>87978683
I was about to say...
I'm surprised how soon it took the series to have this crisp of outlines. This style would last for quite awhile too.
>FLIM SPRINGFIELD
Fuck my sides! How did I miss that all those times before?
>>87978643
The overanalytical fuckwits were probably the ones who got it.
There's an old Simpsons usenet post put up shortly after Part 1 aired where some fan explains why he thinks it was Maggie, for the same reasons that turned out to be the solution.
>Chicken necks?
gets me every time.
Fuck this season is fantastic, sucks it's during the worst possible time slot
Is that the same Estonian midget from when Bart became Burns' heir?
MY EYES! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!
Looks like Wolfcastle really is Radioactive for surviving that.
>"The Goggles Do Nothing" is as old as a meme now as it was as an episode when it became a meme
Mickey Rooney's speech to the people of Springfield and the end of the episode are both hilarious.
>Mickey Rooney's been dead for two years now
>He was alive for the last Every SImpsons Ever marathon
OH BITCH BITCH BITCH!
SAXAHMAHPHONE
SAXAHMAHPHONE
SAXAMAPHONE, SAXAMAPHONE
I SAID SHUT YOU UGLY FACE, FLANDERS!
This was my favorite episode as a kid. Made me want to try and sell my own soul, though I never went through with it.
BUT MOE THE DANK, THE DANK
Forty seconds?
But I want it now!
Oh yeah, the Bart Soul episode is pretty good.
>>87979098
Wish I could use this as a quote in random conversations.
Have cartoons always been transparent? I thought it was only with newer HD cartoons that I could see the lines of the background through the characters but I still see it in a lot of these episodes too
And now, the episode that ruined Lisa for the rest of the series.
>>87979333
Have you seen animation cells before?
>>87979429
At least the next two episodes are pretty good.
Buenos Ding Dong Didlias, Neighborino.
Lamb Chops are now $12.99 per pound
I couldn't imagine the SImpsons affording even a pound nowadays, much less enough for a family of four.
>>87979441
Not so much that I haven't seen them, it's that I didn't have a tv good enough to notice it until recently
And to be completely honest the whole animation cells deal didn't really click until I finally decided to ask about it now
Not gonna lie Scratchy's stomach did look pretty appetizing back when I was a kid.

Which Treehouse was Homer 3D? Did it show yet?

Wait did they skip Bart controlling the devil ad or did I just miss it?
>>87979709
You missed it.
>>87979682
Thought it was this one, wasn't sure if years of alcoholism lead me astray or not.
Moris:(You) die
So, where did he actually land?
What does it look like almost 20 years later?
Are there still erotic cakes there?
Love how everyone was staring at him on the street.
I remember that looking awesome when it first aired
How many pounds over diables are you?: I'm 80.

episode 9 of season 7 - sideshow bob's last gleaming. sideshow bob takes over an air show and demands that the tv networks shut down or he'll detonate an atomic bomb.

I liked Bleeding Gums Murphy and Marvin Monroe...
>>87980633

I believe I read once that one of the nudity scenes in the clip show revealed more than the originally aired episode.
BUY ME BONESTORM OR GO TO HELL
wait I thought this was a season 2 episode
Something I never noticed until I got a bigger TV, the color bleeds a lot in The Simpsons. And I mean A LOT. The line art is some of the thickest in a cel animated cartoon yet the characters frequently have a paint halo or drop shadow around them.
TAKE IT!

That's the joke
We're on this episode for anyone just getting here
this is like the 3rd time they've gone to a haunted house isn't it?
in the first 100 episodes i remember homer had episodes when he almost died twice
i've heard people saying the simpsons will never get good again because they ran out of ideas, but that hardly matters when they can repeat an idea and it still be good
>Putting your money in the bank is a wise decision
Wow this is an old episode.
>>87982051
Yes, yes it is.
>>87981960
Wait a minute... there's no cane in Citizen Kane...
even sideshow raheem showed up
PETE YA GOT SOME CUSTOMERS
That's a wrap
time for Lisa the Iconoclast
Hey /co/ where's the fife?
I thought they set out west just to marry their cousins
This is nothing but dead white male bashing from a PC thug.
This is one of the worst episodes nearing the end of the golden age/good seasons
A PIRATE?!
That's hardly the image we want for long John silvers!
>>87982685
>it's a lisa episode
I'm starting to question the people who said Lisa turned to shitwhen really, she always was
This episode pisses me off so much, I just can't stand willingful ignorance and this brings out the most annoying traits in literally all of Springfield.
I remember the last marathon.
It seemed like even though we had reached the "zombie" seasons, most people that were still here enjoyed most of the episodes
>>87982748
She was fine until she became a vegetarian imo
>>87982798
Jesus fuck Lisa
I have to say the ending to this episode is actually kind of good.
She cares more about the people being together and happy than being right.
>flags have no stars.
>>87982865
Modern Lisa wouldn't have done that.
we're on this one, Homer the Smithers

>>87983323
I heard they were going to do some kind of "reveal" but it turned out to be nothing important.
Oh, well, it's not like I had watched the episode.
>>87983168
He's Burns-Sexual
I feel like Smithers getting his fist stuck in Homer's stomach was an X-Men reference. Like I've seen it happening with Cyclops fighting the Blob, but I can't place where.
>>87983413
90's X-Men cartoon.
>>87983323
modern Simpsons is still trying to get the same amount of views they got back in the 90's so they obviously are really scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to clickbait

>>87982810
Honestly zombie Simpsons isn't that bad. It would get much less shit if it wasn't titled "the Simpsons". It's just that noticeable decline in consistent quality looks especially bad when the six-seven years preceding those episodes is widely considered a pinnacle of western television

Yes. Troy has a fish fetish. He has sex with fish. That's why the episode is titled "A Fish Called Selma."

Can we agree that The Planet of the apes musical is one of the best gags in the whole Simpsons history?
Before his death, Phil Hartman had said he had wished to make a live action Troy McClure film, and several of the show's staff had expressed a desire to help create it.
: (
>>87984335
His last recorded episode is Bart the Mother in season 10.
>>87984383
>Arnold and Phil
That would have been so great
>>87984381
I like every time Troy gets introduced with the list of movies
Over the course of the show, the staff have considered producing several spin-off television series and films, based on The Simpsons. In 1994, Matt Groening pitched a live action spin-off from The Simpsons that centered on Krusty and would star Dan Castellaneta. He and Michael Weithorn wrote a pilot script where Krusty moved to Los Angeles and got his own talk show. A recurring joke throughout the script was that Krusty lived in a house on wooden stilts which were continuously being gnawed by beavers. Eventually, the contract negotiations fell apart and Groening decided to stop work on the project.
"22 Short Films About Springfield" sparked the idea amongst the staff for a spin-off series entitled Tales from Springfield. The proposed show would focus on the town in general, rather than the Simpson family. Every week would be a different scenario: three short stories, an adventure with young Homer or a story about a background character that was not tied in to the Simpson family at all. The idea never came to anything, as Groening realized that the staff did not have the manpower to produce another show as well as The Simpsons. The staff believe it is something that they would still be interested in doing, and that "could happen someday."

Eh, I get your point but, a) where do you think you are? and b) The Simpsons is one of the most culturally important pieces of art for modern America. Unless you think that all critiques of art are stupid, it makes sense.
Time for best part.

That guy's been dead about 2 years now, kind of depressing seeing how many people who've been referenced and celeb guests who've done some of the best simpsons episodes have passed away now.

>>87985474
I could honestly only imagine them doing another episode like the revenge stories one. I don't think any modern cartoon can pull off something like that nowadays.
>>87985498
Was that the one with the gold that Homer, Burns, Moe, and Snake were going after?
>>87985514
>>87985514
What episode?
>>87985517
According to wikipedia-san, it's "The Seemingly Neverending Story" in season 17.
They start telling stories to kill time while waiting for rescue in a cave, and it just spirals.
>Nelson's Grandfather is a judge
>Family lives in poverty and squalor
There's a sad story there.
You can't quite appreciate the consistent quality of these episodes until you watch them in a row.
>How long was that?
That one always cracks me up.
Are there any good movies about a military tontine? Is this a direct homage to something I'm not aware of? Seems like it would be an interesting plot device

I'm giggling every other minute during some of these. The most recent episodes I've seen barely even got a laugh out of me.
The Simpsons became way too formulaic and you can guess large plots of the plot based on what characters it's centered on.
And you were there, and you were there...
>>87985754
Shit, this would have made a great plot for the Movie.

Dat continuity.
What's up with that pause between the reveal of Bart having the keys and the reaction?
>Santa?
My fucking sides
Is Abe the best character?
>>87985870
I think they tried to do a senile joke but they timed it wrong.
So that's why Homer didn't come with grandpa and Bart.
>>87985817
Aren't jokes about Nazi gold a common thing
63 times is if you're outta air, 64 times is if you've found the treasure
One of the few jokes from the more recent seasons that made me laugh was Burns being asked for his Social Security card and handing the guy a Nazi SS ID card.
Destroys any of the continuity, but it was funny.
>>87985601

Here come people crowing about how prophetic The Simpsons is despite the fact that this was relevant back then and missing the point that shit's the same as it ever was.
This is very relevant today, I guess things really don't change
Oh boy, can't wait to be on 4chan for this episode.
>>87986312
The more things change, the more things stay the same.
>>87986268

Holy shit, the Simpsons was so prophetic, I can hardly believe it

>>87986499
But Apu realizes it's a sham and in the end he's just insulting himself, his homeland, and his heritage. Then he goes through the proper means to gain citizenship.
It's a great criticism of immigration as a whole and also a portrayal of how people who (legally) emigrate to the US are deserving of respect.
I hate how dead this thread is.
It's so in character that Apu would sell anti-immigration paraphernalia just to make a fast buck

Episodes like this make me really dislike the sliding timescale the show uses. I understand why, but there's a fun contrast of Homer being part of that 60's generation in comparison to modern culture. As opposed to them being closer to Gen X these days.
