The Actual Simpsons Thread (But everyone finally got over their Steamed Hams thing.)

huh?

[Epimer]

I’ve changed my mind on the shoes one since the last time we went over it.

Can’t fine the original thread but

Hank Scorpio mystery SOLVED:

It was never a mystery. It was painfully obvious that this was the case. edit: And no way is the other reading funnier

Here's a legitimate Simpsons ambiguity, though

in episode 1F10, ‘Homer and Apu’, in Apu’s big musical number, which of these is the joke in Homer’s line? Homer starts to sing something positive about The Kwik-E-Mart, but realises this, hence “d’oh!” Homer is suggesting the Kwik-E-Mart equates to his catchphrase, “d’oh”, which is to say that it is a bad thing 0 voters Show results

Another ambiguous Simpsons joke poll

In episode 4F12, The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show, Homer voices the new character “Poochie” in hit cartoon series Itchy and Scratchy. Homer invites friends and family over to watch the first episode of the revamped show. Flanders, having seen the episode tells Homer: “Homer I can honestly say that was the best episode of Impy and Chimpy I’ve ever seen!” Which of these two readings of the joke is correct: Flanders is a square. The Poochie episode eschewed the usual violence of the cartoo…

[Severed799]

oh right, no we were both basically like “that’s one of the best jokes in the entire show”

[littlebirds]

punchline seems fairly simple compared to say, that skinner/vietnam joke up thread but it’s still a good’un

[JohnM]

Thank you for bringing those threads to my attention LB.

[JohnM]

Oh, and to answer the question in the first thread it was the sadly departed @CrispinAlexander who was the main defender of Homer saying yes to what he’d just just seen. @Epimer am I right in thinking from your recent post upthread that you are taking the baton on this now?

Has anyone watched any of the more recent seasons? I’m worried I might be missing out on some fairly decent episodes, due to my reluctance to wade through the shite. Does anyone have any recommendations of episodes released in the past decade that are an entertaining 20 minutes?

[Epimer]

Those are some pretty fucking big shoes to fill, but, reluctantly: yes.

[noise_ramones]

the most recent one I remember watching was one with Flight of the Conchords in. I don’t remember anything about it

hope this helps

[JohnM]

You are good, but wrong, man.

[Jeremys_Iron]

That is so horrible on the ears.

[JohnM]

Agreed. And yet I still listened to it all the way through like an idiot.
