Antlion Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I had the misfortune of seeing the latest Treehouse of Horror episode. How the mighty have fallen. The Simpsons now appears to be written by people who grew up watching the show (which makes sense), but have no understanding of the characters beyond a few catchphrases and memes. The episode itself was two extended couch gags (presumably because they couldn't string any plot together), and then an attempt at a Hunger Games parody (just occasional moments with Simpsons characters substituted, with no coherence). The next segment involved Lisa's imaginary friend killing people, and then being imagined away. The last appeared to be some kind of Bond parody, which had Bart as a secret agent randomly killing off every side character in a massacre scene, for no reason other than to show off the huge catalogue of side characters. What the hell even is The Simpsons anymore? A parody of itself? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithers was black and burns' office was all wrong looking. Saw a video on YouTube recently about this this and it was stated that the reason that Smithers was that colour was he was painted the wrong colour and they didn't have the money to change it. I'm calling bullshit on this one tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm calling bullshit on this one tbh. From Wiki... Quote Waylon Smithers made his first appearance in this episode, although he can be heard over a speaker in The Simpsons series premiere "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire".[3] In his first visual appearance, he was mistakenly animated with the wrong color and was made an African American by Györgyi Peluce, the color stylist. David Silverman has claimed that Smithers was always intended to be "Mr. Burns' white sycophant,"[4] and the staff thought it "would be a bad idea to have a black sub-servient character" and so switched him to his intended color for his next episode. Smithers' skin tone was later explained as an "extreme tan".[5] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
