The Simpsons

The something of something is never the anything of anything.

they really wanted us to make sure that it was banksy huh

also an important political statement

that's capital "I" important, Jordan.

i seriously need to avoid the internet whenever banksy does anything

I thought that was pretty neat but I wasn't aware of its existence until three minutes ago so I can't make prissy claims to have been put off by everyone talking about it, maybe others will enjoy that luxury

i've been hating banksy for a long time but this is funnie imo

i objected to my rss feeds posting this video as if it were BREAKING NEWS but mostly it was the wooster collective quote that pushed me over the edge, calling this "one of the most closely guarded secrets in TV history"

That was a good intro but wtf did it have to do with Banksy apart from BANKSY written a few places and the "I will not write all over the walls"?

Oooh, Rough Draft use Korean slave labour.

Banksy storyboarded it, apparently. Not a fan of the Cult of Banksy myself either, but this is pretty good (except for the BANKSY BANKSY tags everywhere)

now we just need a picture of korean animators drawing themselves drawing themselves drawing themselves....x100 on the Simpsons

this comment was news to me: http://www.metafilter.com/96526/I-Must-Not-Write-All-Over-The-Walls#3320604

I knew that Simpsons had most of its animation work done somewhere in Asia ahead of time and that was partially why it such a funny intro last night. Specifically the intro got really good when they introduced the dolphin head and the unicorn - self-admitted absurdity. I don't know who Banksy is and I don't care.

I thought it was a boring attempt to reacquaint themselves with the audience they've lost.

koreans?

too subtle imo

I knew that Simpsons had most of its animation work done somewhere in Asia ahead of time

Unlike other, more moral programs that have their animation drawn in America as it goes live-to-air? 0_o

It's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists iirc

It occurs to me that a Futurama episode could pull this kind of thing off and no one'd bat an eye. Its interesting doing the same on the Simpsons has caused such a fuss.

cause people watch the simpsons

Ha.

jesus man, is dissecting my informal typing for humorous reinterpretation really that funny? cause I get that a lot here

Lorax, you could write War and Peace and the ilxors who have decided they don't like you would just say "tl;dr". Sorry man, you know that's just how it is.

Bill James was on the show. yawn Banksy.

xp
quite the contrary, I get certain ilxors reading into my posts like they are wearing x-ray spectacles... looking for something as lol as a pun

no offense CL but you do on occasion talk a certain amount of bollocks

Host: Okay, Ron, which one of our girls said the following about you: ‘He looked so sexy, I hoped that we would have sex?’
Ron: Well, that’s a tough one since I did the deed with Uda, Candy and Shasta…
Shasta (giggling): It’s true alright!
Ron: …But I’m gonna have to go with Shasta since she liked makin’ bacon on the beach.
Homer (watching TV): Ooooh, me too….

`he looked so sexy, i hoped that we would have sex` is so perfect it kills me

gawd this is just a perfect episode p much

been watching like 4 episodes a night lately - gf grew up w/o cable and it's alllll new for her. the things she loves the most so far (itchy and scratchy, lisa, jasper beardly) are def different from my favorites and in some ways watching w/ her gives me a new perspective. pretty great to see someone watch 'stop the planet of the apes, I want to get off!' for the first time.

ended up learning I was dating someone on the wrong side of the vikings argument but I didn't push it

i grew up w/o cable and still managed to watch simpsons...

tell her to watch this episode tho its p killer

xp Wait, which side was the wrong side again?

yeah we're working through the first 10 seasons, I'm just picking randomly, prob gonna get to that one soon

wrong side is 'viking means good at sleep'

You need to dump her posthaste.

Also, this just made me LOL in my office:

fav thing that I only noticed this time around: snake wearing a middlebury shirt in "22 Short Films About Springfield"

I had such a huge crush on laura because of this episode when I was young. I think it probably did more to shape my 'ideal girl' than anything else

Lfc_all_da_way At least when we lost with Rafa, his interview would make me feel better. This guy is just a joke. He should take over from Krusty #simpsons

laura is mint in this episode yah but the b story w/ the all u can eat seafood is what makes the episode classic imo

although no he poked it w/ a stick is just

really so many quotable lines

"you can see our house in that picture!" just

omg louis srsly

is it this episode or another one where the neon sign for the restaurant is a man tossing fish into the giant maw of a fat dude

haha yah thats the sign for 'the frying dutchman' all u can eat seafood joint

other killer gag: marge breaks down admits homer drove around for hours and then went fishing "does that sound like a man who had all he could eat" cut to a bunch of really fat ppl in the jury box murmuring in agreement

"Please, sir, don't take the steam tray!"

Know what, a couple of the really recent ones I've seen have shown improvement... Obviously it's still bloated and self-congratulatory, but there've been some pretty funny jokes in there.

rerun of dustin hoffman ep is on right now and i'm weeping freely
