Next to zero at this point. Maybe if they announced it was ending, brought back some of the old writers for the final season, it could be alright.

"Homer's Triple bypass" (4x11) is pretty weak. It's hard to find the worst episode of them all, but for seasons 2-8, it's pretty low on the list for me.

>>84534117
fuck you, I too dress the same way as when I was 7.

I recently rewatched Bart Gets an Elephant and found it to be pretty boring

I don't know why, it just makes me extremely uncomfortable and nauseous when I hear it. I can just about stomach it sometimes if it's in a movie I'm enjoying but often I have to mute it. There are videogames I can't play at all because they play heartbeat sounds when you have low health for example.
>>84534695
Any kind of heartbeat makes me feel like this.

>>84534038
Fuck off. Homer is a caricature of himself in this episode the likes of which wouldn't be seen again until season 8 or later. If you're defending this episode, you're defending everything that made the series go to shit.

>>84537230
I personally start with S3, consistent 10/10 episodes start in 4 though.

The one with Radioactive Man always seems off, even more than the digital animation.

>>84534077
Probably this, I went through a bunch of them recently and that one really stuck out as weird and not very funny

>>84537219
>golden age is s4-s8
Literally no one has ever said this, It's seasons 2-8 and that's final

>>84537346
It's because it doesnt focus on a simpsons family member

>>84537622
Wrong. Seasons 3-6.

Season 7 is already a slight dip in quality and season 8 even moreso.

Season 10 is where it's really shifted.

>>84533238
Almost certainly Radioactive Man. It was very forward-looking in terms of Simpsons episodes, not only with its use of digital ink, but the utter mediocrity of almost all its jokes. The celebrity appearance was also pointless.

>>84537707
>Season 10 is where it's really shifted.
Correct. Still good, but definitely not great.

>>84534636
The one where she and Homer bet on football is good

>>84537761
It reminded me a lot of Futurama. All the lame "nerd humor' jokes that seem telegraphed from a mile away

>>84538109
Well I don't agree with any of that, either that the episode's humor resembles Futurama's, or with that characterization of Futurama's humor.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBprQffr2g4

This fucking box factory episode with "I didn't do it" Bart.

I recorded it on VHS and watched it heaps, and it just feels fucking weird. Anyone agree or did I make it weird by rewatching it?

>>84538179
That's just my hot take on Futurama, never liked it at all.

>>84538234
Did you watch past the first two seasons?

I guess I'm in a minority that doesn't like season 3 all that much. It's got some solid episodes, but I find most of them kinda dull. My pick would be "Dancin' Homer." I often forget that episode exists.

The lowest rated Simpsons episode based on IMDB scores that's NOT a clip show between seasons 2 and 8 apears to be 5x21 "Lady Bouvier's Lover"

>>84539056
Dancin Homer is legit the worst episode of The Simpsons including whats currently airing, one bad joke stretched out for half an hour

Why did everyone shits on the modern era? I feel like some episodes are good like that one they travel throught time and theres even a transition card of some holidays pics where you can see Lisa becoming sucessful, Maggie becoming a rockstar and Bart becoming a neet/deadbeat the name was holidays of something IIRC
I aint no simpson enthuasiast, so I'm genuinely confused, I also need to watch the older seasons but the animation is so clunky

Bart the General. Why did Homer just sit there and cry when Toadfish fucked Marge?

>>84539173
You might be right because as bad as current Simpsons is, I still remember the episodes.

>>84533912
That's a great episode. It being funny just has nothing to do with Jay Sherman's presence.

>>84539175
If you've never seen the old ones before, you wouldn't know how good they are in comparison.

>>84539505
this, the writers were just shilling their other flick of a show

>>84539172
Strange that it's that low. Nothing wrong with a bit of a Gold Rush/Graduate homage, particularly with the Graduate itself being a very forgettable film.

>>84539708
Thats why I am asking... how do I know this isn't nostalgiafaggotry

>>84540167
They are legitimately much, much better. The newer ones range from mediocre to absolutely horrible; golden era has a few bad episodes here and there but is otherwise still really good.

I miss that FXX marathon we got to see a few years back, seeing every simpsons episode in a row really put everything in perspective.

>>84540065
That's still not a bad rating though especially in comparison to the rest of the series. Only FIVE episodes between seasons 18 and 28 are rated higher than it.

>>84540444
>Only FIVE episodes between seasons 18 and 28 are rated higher than it.

Jesus, that's absolutely hilarious. I suppose that lets you know when Zombie Simpsons began, at least.

Fuck off Matt

The Elephant one. What the fuck was that episode?

>>84534173
I don't know if that's the worst one, but it really gets boring as fuck after he gets the elephant. I thought it was good before that.

>>84541208
Literally called "Bart get's an Elephant"

>>84541511
I meant what the fuck were they thinking with that episode?

>>84541543
They started with an idea (bart gets an elephant) and built a whole episode around it

The one where Lisa acts like a righteous cunt for being a vegetarian and ruins a barbecue, worst character.

Also has the Mccartney's, who are also cunts.

I'm seeing some criticism for S5 episodes. Every one of them has about fifty good jokes even if the story wasn't so great. Quick jokes, irrelevant jokes - I know if I watch an S5 episode I'm going to laugh at something.

I still cant believe Homer was going to ACTUALLY kill himself.

He left a suicide note. Marge even directly asks how he could think about KILLING himself.

Early Simpsons was fucking serious. Theyd never ever attempt a suicide episode today.

>>84542648
A lot of episodes I had on VHS were those from seasons 1-3, so it feels weird watching later stuff and seeing how tame it became.

>>84542648

They never show this episode in the UK anymore for some reason, odd. Understandable giving the context.

I wonder how something like the episode where Bart nearly commits suicide over a baseball game would look with the early seasons art style/

>>84542624
The day the Simpsons couldn't reach the same heights, it basically paved the way for the series to become Family Guy levels of stupid and making no sense

>>84533944

Yeh there's something creepy abou the first season or two, like bad vibe. I think it got better when Matt groening had less input. I remember listening to the commentary and his favourite simpsons joke ever was "I call this one blinky" when homer/Bart find that shitty 3 eyed fish

Considering how dog shit The Simpsons has been for years

So the golden era be increased to include seasons 10-12

Marge Be Not Proud by far. It had some good jokes but not even Thillho could save it.

Boring slow plot with Bart completely out of character in a sappy straight out of some 70s family sitcom happy ending.

I consider season 10 the last classic season because it has the last Phil Hartman appearance.

In that case, much of s10 is the worst
