Ah! Well alright then!

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Missed one.

Another great one. This and The Springfield Files probably round out my top five. Though specific rankings don't really mean much when they're all that good.

EDIT: OH SHIT Sony are going to buy Gaikai? Megatons at E3 confirmed.

Cool fucking animal.

Wow, looking badarse too.

Missed one.

Indeed. Probably the best Simpsons episode ever.

Add El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (Johnny Cash) and you have an almost perfect list of great episode with guest stars playing characters not themselves (mostly).

 

[markot]

um what about the cat burgler one! also some of the sideshow bob ones!

 

[Jintor]

I'm a fan of the Homer-Eats-A-Blowfish episode, myself.

I will take the unpopular position and also put Anne Hathaway in Once Upon a Time in Springfield

 

[markot]

oh and lisas doll was great too.

scorpio count?

also best use of celebs as themselves in gabbo.

 

[Jintor]

Hank Scorpio episode is one of the best, partially because it removes the entire traditional supporting cast.

 

[Deeku]

I need to buy seasons 1, 2 and 3. I don't think I've watched any episodes from that period since 10 stopped airing them and made season 4 the start of their re-run loop back when it was 6pm simpsons everyday.

Also, rpa is back. Who likes rpa? I do!

I love the first two seasons, the evolution of the show is amazing. From a very rough sketch show background to a proper series.

Yeah, I hadn't seen many of the first couple in years. In fact, I'd pretty much forgotten a few season one episodes existed! I have 1-5 at the moment, plan on going up to 10 (and probably would have by now) but I avoid buying them to leave it open as an easy birthday/Christmas gift so my parents/siblings can't complain at me about being hard to buy for.

I love season one. It's just so different to what the show becomes in the year or two that follows that people tend to write it off when talking about the absolute classics but it's really fascinating to me.

 

[Dead Man]

What I love most baout Season 1? That all the characters were different in subtle and not so subtle way to the later iterations...

There's a very good reason why those seasons aren't in the loop, you'll find out soon enough.

Scorpio and Beer Baron are the two best episodes of anything ever

Holy shit at some of the stuff polis and others are saying there. Fucking disgraceful.

There are plenty of amazing episodes in the first three seasons.

Bart the Genius
Itchy & Scratchy & Marge
Dancin' Homer
Lisa's Substitute
Stark Raving Dad
Flaming Moe's
Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Not to mention the fact that they'dve stopped airing new episodes a long time ago if quality was a concern.

Then again, Danoss can't be talking about quality because even that list you've got there is conservative.

Christ. Keating's zingers were nothing compared to this absolute fucking poison spewing from people's mouths.

Yeah, I've seen them all at some point in my life, but haven't re-watched them in a loooooong time. It will be interesting to watch them again now. I think at the time I first saw them, I wasn't quite at the stage where I fully "got" simpsons - I was really just watching because it was a cartoon.

Also I do not recall a black smithers at all lol.

 

[Salazar]

Good on Bob Brown for getting out. He fought it pretty classily for a goddamn long time.

 

[Fredescu]

The first season of the Simpsons is pretty terrible. They'd be interesting if you've never seen them I guess, but only because you know what it became. Two and three get a lot better.

 

[Jintor]

ALSO. I want to deck the person who authorised that new Hitman trailer because it is fucking terrible.

saw that before..... didn't know it was an aussie

 

[hamchan]

My favourite episode is the one where Principal Skinner is revealed to be a fake, closely followed by the one where Bart sees the future and Lisa as president.

 

[Choc]

the malibu stacey doll episode is the best because it gave us the Nintendo Wii e3 gif of awesome

 

[Danoss]

Then again, Danoss can't be talking about quality because even that list you've got there is conservative.

I thought the majority of them were absolutely terrible, though that may be mostly weighted towards the earlier side. I'd be surprised if someone cracks a smile at any time throughout season 1, and season 2 isn't much better.

 

[shanshan310]

I've never really had a favourite simpsons episode. The simpsons has great moments. Steamed hams. I'm going to clown college. The goggles, they do nothing. Finger betrayed me for the last time. I never remember episodes or plots, only moments.

 

[Salazar]

The new Hitman trailer is terrible.

Yar. Eroticising violence against perfunctorily disempowered women does so very little for me. Women being shown to "revert" to passive and terrified aspects is obnoxious even in capably written gothic fiction of a certain vintage.

In a game trailer ? No. Fuck you.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I mean, the whole sexism thing is only the tip of the iceburg, I guess. If it were men in the roles of the females in that trailer, I'd still be pretty disappointed. It doesn't say anything about that game.

 

[Jintor]

I don't mind CG trailers as such if they're just trying to set the tone of the game or tell some story or whatever but if that's the tone of Hitman Absolution get me the fuck off this ride. I mean I shouldn't have to trust that their marketing department is full of incompetent idiots deliberately misrepresenting the most interesting part of their game just so that I can have faith in the quality of the end-product. I shouldn't have to think "Oh, this is like what they did for Blood Money only with 2012 CG instead of 2006".

And here I was thinking it was just a cheap latching onto of the grindhouse movement. It is pretty bad as a trailer though as well.

 

[shanshan310]

It wasn't a good trailer, but I don't think it was that bad. Just kind of... meh. Sexy ladies and blood. Nothing new.


Also Spotify has turned out to be awesome.

 

[hamchan]

Kristen Bell is in House of Lies which I hear isn't a good show but it has Kristen Bell so I will watch it now.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

is anyone here watching Mad Men this season?

 

[hamchan]

Pretty sure a few people here watch Mad Men. I watch each Mad Men ep twice the day it comes out. >_> I think Ridonk and Aon watch it too.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

good, good

because how good has Mad Men been this season -- like -- oh my god

 

[hamchan]

This season of Mad Men has been amazing! I think every episode starting from Mystery Date has been some of the best the show has ever done. Then the episode that just aired easily makes top 3 for me, as good as The Suitcase I feel. It made me cringe in horror at many points and the final scene made me cry and then smile. Show looks like it'll win the Emmy for a 5th year in row.

Wonder why the game did not get banned over here.

 

[codswallop]

I don't think the latest Mad Men episode was as good as the three or four before it. Some of them have been absolutely brilliant this season. Definitely worth the wait. The one directed by Jon Hamm was a little flat, but John Slattery turned out to be pretty good IMO.

Watching Game of Thrones and Mad Men back-to-back has made for pretty good Mondays for the past few months.

Mainly I was annoyed that they had this baddass uniform and were fucking terrible at actually trying to kill him. Like seriously. They rock up with high powered weapons and just stand out the front. Getting killed like fish in a barrel.

Was just fucking stupid. Made no sense.

That's kind of the thing. Practically all of the female toughness in that trailer is, deliberately, surface level. As soon as they get hit, they get this "Oh, I didn't expect to get my nose broken" look.

 

[Omikron]

rep tried to tell me this was a new Motocross Madness game. What was he thinking.

 

[Stackboy]

This weeks episode was incredible. This season hasn't been as great at previous ones, but this episode has resparked my love for this show.

 

[midonnay]

Kristen Bell is in House of Lies which I hear isn't a good show but it has Kristen Bell so I will watch it now.

its actually really good......hated the pilot...... but the bunch of morally bankrupt people grew on me >_>
