    I know that The Simpsons was under fire recently in these forums for being boring...

    But I think that last nights new episode on SkyOne was one of the better episodes created in recent times, mostly for the reason that I didnt have any old clips which had been plaquing previous episodes :( .

    What did yee all think of it?

    it was ok. Futurama was much better though IMO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭Space Coyote


    I didnt bother watching it. to be honest i couldnt be @rsed anymore. My bro saw it, said it was one of the worst episodes he's ever seen. The jokes are so predictable, so un-side-splittingly poor recently that I find it difficult to even force a smile.

    There is no emoticon for what I am feeling right now ;)

    More Family Guy please...

    I actually missed it. I'd be meaning to watch it but keep forgeting. What was it about? Also i see the 300th episode is coming up soon so thats should be a good one!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,307 ✭✭✭richindub2


    I liked it. Actually had me laughing out loud a few times, which is not something that happens that often with the simpsons anymore for me im afraid :/

    Decided to watch this one after months in exile.

    The only LOL moment was when Homer drew a pair of angry shoe-polish-eyebrows onto his head and said 'You're charging HOW much for a room?'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,322 ✭✭✭Repli


    I thought homer's video for lisa was really funny
    The todd flanders video made me laugh aswell ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,872 ✭✭✭segadreamcast


    Probably the best episode I've seen this series...

    There were, whether you care to admit it or not, some "LOL" jokes in there. But once again, the story wasn't up to too much - it seems as though the Simpsons is now playing for the slapstick South Park-esque audience.

    I was also saying that it was one of the better LOL episodes lately.
    That shoe polish glasses/eyebrows was fupping hilarious.

    Yes I quite liked that part

    Its nowhere near as good as it used to be and is unlikely to get any better.

    Cancel it, stopping showing it everyday twice a day.

    More Family Guy and Futurama. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Family Guy was cancelled so somehow I'll doubt you'll see any new episodes appearing for it :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,571 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    We'll have to wait for the Family Guy Season 3 DVD Box Set, just announced. Out June 30th.

    i was looking forward to that. now another 2 months to wait :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 451 ✭✭Zukustious


    The simpsons sucks. Either the writers ran out of ideas or they were replaced. Back in the old days of it, the simpsons was hilarious. Now it's just crappy sex jokes that aren't funny at all, e.g. "Anyone for penis?" as said by Homer in a more recent episode.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,077 ✭✭✭parasite


    all credit tooo the simpsons at the end of the day ...return to form tonight

    :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    Another sub-par episode tonight.

    The only funny line was Lenny talking about the autograph he scored: "This is going right on e-bay, I mean MY WALL! ..... (which I will then sell on Ebay)."

    When will the show learn that eps featuring guest stars playing themselves are just plain annoying?

    i don't like watching simspons anymore for one reason only

    1. homer humor use to be witty and really really funny but now it's just bland.

    example of funny humor:
    Marge: have you noticed anything strange about bart recentely?
    Homer: probaly misses his old glasses.

    *Can't remember rest*

    Homer: then we get the chair.
    Marge: homey that wasn't what i meant.
    Homer: yes it was marge admit it

    now thats funny but the new homer just sucks and anything they try to make him funny i just cough and splutter out a sarcastic ha!

    It was...

    Marge: Have you noticed something about Bart?
    Homer: New glasses?
    Marge: No... It seems like something is troubling him.
    Homer: Probably misses his old glasses.
    Marge: I want to get more involved in Bart's activities, but then I'd be afraid of smothering him.
    Homer: Yeah, and then we'd get the chair.
    Marge: That's not what I meant.
    Homer: Admit it Marge, it was.

    T'was indeed a classic.

    Best one ever was when Ralph came looking for Lisa...

    Homer: She's in the can, go away.
    Ralph: OK Mr Simpson, I'd do anything for Lisa.
    [Homer begins to close door then stops...]
    Homer: Anything ehhh?
    [Cuts to Ralph tarring the roof]
    Ralph: Mr Simpson the tar fumes are making me dizzy!
    Homer: Yeaaaa they'll do that.

    rofl.

    And yea, tonights one wasnt the worst ever, but it was still crapy compared to those^ standards :]

    nothing can beat the simpsons


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭Space Coyote


    many things can beat the simpsons these days. family guy for one. malcolm in the middle for two. scrubs for three.
    did ye see the new episode with Flanders getting it on with the famous actress? It was rubbish, apart from the odd lol moment. That can be said for every episode made in recent years.
    Can any of the last 20 episodes compare with the Frank Grimes one? Not a hope.

    ;)

    Good story on the bbc website about David Beckham not being famous enough to be on the simpsons. They are going to the UK in an upcoming episode and are looking for famous brits for it.
