The Simpsons

that mission sucks

important work they're doing there

Those nerds aren't going to annoy themselves.

It'll be "fun" sifting through the 20-plus years of excrement to find the few bright spots someday.

i dunno, i kind of enjoy its ongoing mission to annoy cartoon nerds

"You should be very proud, Homer, you . . . got a beautiful home here."

"it's just a little hacky, it's still good, it's still good!"

Been forcing myself to watch a few minutes every week just to find out WHO'S GONNA DIE

i have an odd feeling that writing on the simpsons during its least-loved season would be awesome in the same sense that working at a coffee shop going out of business would be.
make a donut/espresso smoothie? sure! milhouse is now an italian cyborg? sure!

the text makes it p clear that the headline is wrong, but imo the show would benefit from a few game of thrones-style shocking bloodbaths. have peter griffin kill homer.

For everyone who thought the Simpsons needed more rape "jokes":

Is there any other artistic entity that shat so definitively on its own legacy?

The rolling stones

have them killed

More disappointed that Bob of Bob's Burgers has become involved in this shitshow

holy shit i hate family guy

yeah it's fucking horrible and the preview is phantom menace levels of unpleasant
basically it's just making me cynical and unhappy

i mean insofar as i care
*sobs*

It's sad and cynical when taken as part of the Simpsons legacy as a whole, but a Family Guy crossover with 2014 Simpsons seems like a synergistically lazy match made in heaven. I mean, what are the Simpsons even anymore, really. I mean really.

Sweating a 2014 Simpsons/Family Guy crossover is like getting bent out of shape about the Beach and Fat Boys doin' the wipeout together in '87.

but with more rape jokes

Arguably.

it's technically an episode of the Family Guy, not the Simpsons, so who cares

lol @ "the Beach and Fat Boys"

the only Simpsons characters in the preview are ones voiced by Dan Castellaneta, Nancy Cartwright and Hank Azaria, are they rest of the cast not involved?

Shearer in particular has been vocal about shitty scripts lately ("lately" = since around 2000), so I wouldn't be surprised if he refused to take part.

this does look awful, but I'm definitely excited to see it, would definitely rather have a modern day Simpsons constantly plumbing new depths tawdriness than pootling along doing passable but dull material

lol @ "the Beach and Fat Boys"

we have both types of boys, beach and fat

in any case, it's ace trolling.

don hertzfeldt did the couch gag tnite

and it was by far the best part of the episode

AV Club has little good to say about the episode and even less about the Family Guy crossover: http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/simpsons-clown-dumps-209794

lol I was wondering what the hell was happening at the couch bit, that legitimately freaked me out. I didn't intend to watch this, just left the TV too long on after football and figured I'd stick around to see who died, what a cop out

I thought Krusty's dad had died years ago, mainly because I thought Jackie Mason had died years ago.

Dreading the impending death of beloved Simpsons character Dr. Marvin Monroe in season 37.

When's the last time this show introduced a new long-standing character? Would I recognize everyone, having not particularly paid attention over the last ten seasons?

If they're gonna keep it going no matter what, maybe bring in some new characters.

Monroe's been dead since about season 2

Okay then beloved Simpsons character Lurleen Lumpkin.
