    The Simpsons should put itself out of its misery

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    What do you reckon? Is the violence of that particular set of cartoons damaging the minds of our impressionable youth? Is it desensitizing their delicate minds and causing them to feel no emotion or pain. We need to protect our young from violence at all costs, and defend them against people who would otherwise want to subject them to this vicious ,disturbing cartoon..

    I think I've seen that Simpson's episode.

    No, it's not a satire on Tom & Jerry at all. Also, your poll is BS.

    Maybe make it more relevant, like Soros and Bannon perhaps?

    You need to start watching better tv shows

    Itchy and Scratchy are probably the best thing about the Simpsons these days.

    Honestly, the Simpsons stopped being any good or original after 2002 - please please put it out of its misery...

    They should have done a "Dinosaurs" on the show twenty years ago, maybe a meltdown in the nuclear plant destroying Springfield.

    I feel that getting rid of Apu was a step in the right direction. Once they get rid of the other disgusting stereotypes such as Bumblebee man, Cletus and Luigi I feel that The simpsons will be come a more inclusive show...

    Now I know you're taking the proverbial. 3/10 for effort.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,043 ✭✭✭Truckermal


    Nah Itchy and Scratchy need a spin off show...:D

    There is so much bad TV these days that Simpsons remain middle of the pack. Their decline is no greater than the larger contextual free-fall.

    Sorry what was the question again??

    Marge Simpson got rid of Itchy and Scratchy for a while. It didn't go to well. With mildly hilarious consequences.

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

    This is why I hate people.

    I hope they don't get rid of Apu. One of my favorite characters.


    EDIT: Ah nuts. I mean....ah nuts.

    I'm not entirely sure The Simpsons at its peak years would go down well in today's uber PC society if it was a new creation.

    I guess we can look forward to lots of very bland shows in the future, safe spaces and all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    You....you do realise that The Simpsons is aimed at an Adult audience? It's rated PG, so take a bit of responsibility as a parent, and make your own mind up if kids should watch it.

    I swear to the Spaghetti Monster, snowflakes these days


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,707 ✭✭✭valoren


    Lemonade?

    Please!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    It's an obvious rip off of Tom and Jerry plus it's insulting to those who have dermatological problems😢
