I caught my yearly episode yesterday. Funny enough.

And that image of the knocked-up purple twins was the most hilarious/twisted thing I've seen on the show in years.

That would actually be a cool series, Bart and Lisa in high school with everyone older. They've had other episodes in the future but this one was just a little, I dunno different.

 

[Phoenix]

Well that would be a welcome change to enduring the ever increasing mediocrity that is the franchise.

I'd like the Simpsons to do an entire episode dedicated to Lenny and Carl and do it as a spoof on the The Odd Couple. Also I'd like to see episodes dedicated to the Professor and the Comic Book Guy (though there kind of already was one) except I have no good ideas for those.

 

[Silkworm]

At least Bender was in the episode for a few seconds. That made me smile However it felt like a one of the Halloween subset episodes, just really drawn out IMHO. There were some really odd changes to the characters that seemed like it was more of an alternate universe than a natural progression of the current status quo of the current characters. But I guess that's what happens when you predict the future using astrology

I'd like to see The Simpsons magically become Futurama.

The glacier episode a few weeks ago was pretty much a return to form; this episode, however, blew. 'Cept for the "nobody's gay for mole man" thing--that was hilarious.

 

[Silkworm]

Was the glacier episode the one where Lisa files a restraining order against Bart?

Yeah, that was it. The see you next fall joke in the beginning was brilliant.

Paraphrasing:
*Bart trips Lisa*
"haha see you next fall"
"hey you've already made that joke before"
"meh, when you've been in the business as long as I have, you're bound to repeat yourself"
*trips her again*
"haha see you next fall"

Genius.

I loved last nights episode..lots of great moments/setups

Saudi Israelia, Nelson and the Twins, Maggie sunbathing in Alaska, Mini-hulk milhouse, the chicken in Wiggums chest, nobodys gay for moleman :lol

Snake was hilarious too "Ew no not THAT, what kind of soups do they have"


Screw the other suggestions in this thread i want a Vice-president Cletus spin-off.

 

[3phemeral]

I haven't enjoyed an episode like that in a while -- that, and the one afterwards that played later that night, where Selma wants a baby.

 

[RedDwarf]

I liked the future of trash removal.

 

[UltimateMarioMan]

Anyone notice the last few times they've done a flashback to Homer in highschool hes acted strangely like Fry...

 

[McPhineas]

I'd like to see The Simpsons magically become Futurama.

See what I think they should do is add one of the Futurama main characters to the Simpsons each season, and once they're all in the show have an episode where everybody gets transported to 31st century New New York.

I get the sense a lot of the people still watching the Simpsons every Sunday wouldn't even notice.

 

[Memles]

The "Nobody's Gay for Moleman" was the best part of the episode; and it included some generally funny moments, like Vice-President Cletus. But, for the most part, I found that the story of the episode itself seemed contrived and seemed to be nothing but "OMG THE FUTURE" with no real plot development. It had some of the funnier jokes in some time, but China, the Iceberg as well as the episode with Bart and his T-Shirt company were all far more complete episodes, if they didn't make me laugh as hard on occasion.

 

[hobbitx]

Ah crap! I hate it when I miss the future episodes, alot of people always bitch about them, but those and the other random vignette episodes are my absolute favorites, old and new.

 

[AniHawk]

I liked last night's episode. Moe's clone (and spider-clone), Frink's corpse hanging in his house, and Homer's underwater house (was that a reference to a previous episode? I thought it might've been).

Yeah, it was a reference to the episode where Homer brings Marge to that candy convention, then gets accused of sexual assault when he grabs a gummi from the babysitter's butt.

Homer: [fearfully] Marge?  Kids?  Everything's going to be just fine.
       No go upstairs, and pack your bags...we're going to start a new
       life...under the sea.
       [calypso music starts]
       [Homer dances with fish as Lisa plays a seahorse saxophone,
       Marge a squid harp, and Bart the xylophone clams]
Homer: [eats a dancing fish, sings]
       Under the sea, under the sea,
       [eats a couple more fish]
       There'll be no accusations, just friendly crustaceans
       Under the sea!
       [eats a line of seahorses, grabs an escaping one]
       [eats a live crab as though it were a shrimp]
       [eats a pair of dancing fish, then a snail who tries to escape]
       [stands there with fish skeletons floating about]
Marge: Homer, that's your solution to everything: to move under the sea.
       It's not going to happen!
Homer: Not with _that_ attitude!

Good music through out the whole thing

 

[Mister Zimbu]

Were we all watching the same episode? That was just as, if not more godawful than the rest of the latest Simpsons episodes.

Terrible, recycled plot, and only one or two jokes that were even remotely funny.

I also think their satire of the war was too subtle :\.

 

[SFA_AOK]

Awesome episode, funniest one I've seen in a long time, a lot of the jokes were out there "WTF?!" style jokes and I liked them. Very funny stuff.

 

[yoshifumi]

it was pretty decent i thought, but it pretty much ignores and contradicts the other episodes set in the future.

 

[Drexon]

I thought of this as a "if we're going down we're taking simpsons with us" kind of episode. They just thought of every way to fuck with the original simpsons characters and did it imo. :/ Marge and Homer

Spoiler

separated

, WHY? No need, they just fucked it up.

 

[Rlan]

I thought it was yet another HORRIBLE episode, so many things just wrong with it.

- For starters, they should have used the time viewing machine a lot more in the story. There were plenty of quick cuts to new scenes with new environments. You could have had Bart, Lisa or Frink commenting or fast forwarding through the boring parts.

- For an episode using a time machine about Bart and Lisa, it sure did take a lot of time to show other characters. Ralphs part was just stupid. The Robocops... what? Again, have Frink commenting on how he remembered something funny happening at this point and cut to other characters. Things like the cut to Milhouse should have been handled by Frink

- Was Barts girlfriend meant to be a celebrity or something, because she sure acted like many "Celeb of the week" bits.

- Lisa started an argument with "Your gay for moleman"?

- The person doing Barts voice [Cartwright?] sounded like she did one take, and that's about it. Both the Hovercar and Smithers-isn't-gay sequence sounded like it was the first time she read the line.

The Lenny and Carl scene was pretty funny though

 

[norinrad21]

I'll never get the deal between Lenny and Carl.

hey I've known from the beginning Simthers is gay, but whats the deal between those two? are they just best friends or ?

They are pretty funny together though..

 

[Odoul]

A request.

Does someone with capture equipment have a pic of Flanders Revenge or Maggie's DUI?

Thanks.
