^ What episode is that box from?
Edit: Rosebud, thanks
It's really off-putting how they turn to suicide jokes with the noose. I think I've seen two the last few seasons, one with Homer. It just looks...weird, like shock-value humour. Not like suicide wasn't a part of the show before, but outside of Halloween specials and other odd suicide attempts (Moe sticking his head in the oven), it justs feels off to see a noose on Simpsons.
Yet, strangely, I was more compelled to watch the new episode of Simpsons yesterday over Family Guy.

I love the music in that scene - creepy but hilarious. It's been used a few other times but I can't remember.

Ugh.
Worst apart about the old Simpsons new simpsons arguments is the completely arbitrary exclusions people make for the show.

-Tom Jones was hilarious because he was chained up.
-Barry White, come on. "I love the sexy slither of a lady snake." You can't beat that.
The George Bush episode was crap, but I don't think that was actually George Bush.

Well I didn't say they weren't funny
Just the "new Simpsons just celebrities appear out of nowhere with zero subtlety!" argument is ill-concieved.

Yeah, in a Christmas episode. The one with Gary Coleman, I believe. He took his head out of the oven, and replaced it with a roast duck.

So I decided to watch last nights episode for the first time in maybe 2 years. I managed about 10 minutes.
- The HD animation physically hurt my eyes to look at.
- The "humor" was... well, lets be honest, there was nothing funny about it.
- The drama was forced, the storyline unflowing, the characters completely devoid of character and in short it was the worst 10 minutes of a show I've watched since the last time I tried to watch New Simpsons.

First one is Halloween special, second one actually had a purpose.
Unlike the one with Moe last night, and one I saw in a newer season were Homer randomly decides to hang himself for a short gag.

In "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" Moe's Tavern is renamed "Moe's Cavern". Can't believe I only just caught that!

I take it the same way. I don't watch it, just like I don't watch any of those other shows.

Old, and awesome, but wasn't this debunked since the McBain clips aren't arranged in order of air date?
But why would that matter? It actually makes it more impressive.
Homer: Lousy teachers, trying to palm off our kids on us!
Lisa: But, Dad, by striking, they're trying to effect a change in
management so that they can be happier and more productive.
Homer: Lisa, if you don't like your job, you don't strike: you just
go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way.

Reading Zombie Simpsons, and how Doris Grau died. I didn't even notice Lunchlady Doris went missing.

Bringing up the suicidal thoughts from Season 1 and comparing them to the present era really isn't fair.
For one thing, that episode actually had emotional depth. Homer was a man who was at the end of his tether, who felt like he was failing as a father and husband.
That stupid scene of Homer hanging himself in front of his children? It was just a poor gag. That's the crassness that many take issue with.
The show has lost so much subtlety and while there's always been the slapstick humour, it was coupled with a more reserved series of jokes throughout each episode.

They eventually brought her back with a different voice.
To be honest I am shocked Troy McClure / Lionel Hutz - or at least characters related to them or whatever - have never been brought back. I'm incredibly glad, but they've brought back everything else at this point, so I'm genuinely surprised.

That newer suicide gag is stupid in context, but let's not poo-poo it for being "crass." Good Simpsons has plenty of "crass" humor along those lines.
I think one of my favorite gags from the entire show is the group of unhappy employees wearing silly hats and listening to country western music while one of them polishes his shotgun. "I am the angel of death." Things don't get much crasser than jokes about imminent workplace shootings.
Or Marge's hilarious story about their distant relative, whose motto was "shoot 'em all, and let God sort them out." It took 75 federal marshals to bring him down that grave December morn!

Gags like that just sum up how Homer has changed as a character I think.
He was never perfect, and was a deeply flawed individual - but he still had depth and was more than a caricature. He was a bumbling fool, but a human one albeit exaggerated.
Now he comes across as a really horrible human being.

Just stop Simpsons. Just stop.
At what point was suicide Moe's only redeeming feature? At what point did someone thing that was a good idea?
Well, you can't be too mad at them. His head in the stove with a "No Funeral" note taped to his back is among the show's all time funniest moments.

I thought I heard about that but Danny DeVito said no.
Basically, although I'm not sure why they specifically chose Maude when she also voiced other characters as well (Helen Lovejoy, Miss Hoover, Luann Van Houten).

I said damn at the headshots.
Because they aren't that important. You can get someone else to voice them.
