S5 is the best season though, its literally perfect. It doesnt have one bad joke or down moment in the whole season

Honestly, now that Rick and Morty is around, it's hard to even take even the good periods of The Simpsons seriously. I understand Simpsons paved the way for what primetime animated comedy could become, but it's like trying to judge a butterfly against a worm.

I'm not going to have fun.

Also, there's no such thing as a best simpsons episode.

Simpsons was great for its time in the late 80s and early 90s. It explored the life of a working class, suburban, Christian family. That's no longer the reality, which makes the show and the premise dated, especially looking back on it. It's time to let it go. It's no different than someone during season 3 of The Simpsons trying to argue The Flintstones are better. Both are good, but the newer show is always going to be better because it speaks more to the people of that time. The time now is for Rick and Morty. It's darker, raunchier and reflects the direction comedy has taken in recent years.

Homer wading through the toddlers sucking on their pacifiers to grab maggie and then slowly wading back again to get out is a hilarious scene

>>81891665
Yeah the Simpsons isn't as funny anymore just by virtue that they family dynamic they are lampooning isn't really a reality anymore, kids just don't get it.

Rick & Morty taps into the zeitgeist of the average millennial perfectly. But it too isn't timless

But the guys can be annoying beta faggots sometimes.

Specifically the first 2 minutes, with Homer interacting with his family, he's not a brainless monkey, it's really like he was a cartooned version of father. It made me want to watch the first seasons.

How?the Simpsons as you say is about a suburban family with all kinds of struggles and adventures. How can a show about le edgy grandpa and his pseudo grandson top that? The episodes aren't very relateble. I am a late millennial (born in the late 90's) and i know of many kids these days that watch the simpsons.

There's your problem.
The stable family unit has been eroded to the point where it is no longer the norm.
The state has replaced the father.
The internet has replaced the mother.
Put all of this together with mass immigration and our society is a ticking timebomb.

That's such a good bit

Homer Badman is the best episode.

Hahaha such a good episode. I love the bit where Homer relates to Lurleen's song lyrics in the bar.

Anyone else watch the golden era episode and just look at the backgrounds? There's so much going on

>>81909684

By that i mean look at the other characters and what they're doing, not the main family

>>81890959
The Springfield Files.

90% of the jokes in that episode are straight up perfection.

>>81891946
Marge Be Not Proud and Mother Simpson always make me teary eyed whenever I watch them.

>I should throw you away where you can't kill or maim us, but this is LA, and youre rich and faaaamous
Top 5 simpsons song for sure

Martin as a fairy is awesome. Also I have a figure of that Milhouse dressed up as Radioactive Man I got from a Burger King kids meal 10+ years ago

You've got it. No deer for a month

$pringfield, or how i learned to stop worrying and learn to love legalized gambling.

It's one of the few episodes i can think of that has every single gag be bare minimum somewhat funny, and every single scene have some form of gag if not multiple.

Bagged me a homer is a masterpiece

>Oh Homie, you have lots of hair
What did she mean by this?

>>81910989
Homer getting scared by the boogeyman and getting the gun is the best part. Of the series.

I know it's an American show but the Christfag shit is really obnoxious in this episode and makes it cringy to watch. It's still funny though.

almost true, but Lady Bouvier's Lover is a less than perfect episode, convince me otherwise
