I was talking to this girl who I found interesting and she mentions that she really likes the new seasons of The Simpson’s and Family Guy. I told her I also like the shows but only the earlier seasons, to which she said she’s never watch them because she thinks they were boring.

I had a Seinfeld moment and suddenly my mind was simply occupied with “boring? BORING??” And thinking about what kind of person finds modern simpsons entertaining

    Modern Simpsons episodes have all the inane references to modern pop culture and celebrity appearances that some people love. Family guy is basically only references to pop culture, so I can get why they like both.

    Also, I bet the newer Simpsons episodes move faster or are more visually captivating for an audience with a shrinking attention span.

      One of the new Simpsons episodes has Homer getting cancelled and going on Joe Rogan.

        I don't believe you, but I know we live in a world where this kind of stuff happens. I'm logging out :homer-bye: to watch some classic Simpsons to cleanse this from my brain

          How immediately out of date. Feminists got cancelled too LOL. Fucking TERFs.

          They had to flee to free speech sites...where they were given a sullen welcome by all the pro-free speech right-wingers they had just finished shitting on. But they had to allow them in...because muh freeze peach. And, in the really hilarious part, the moment the feminists started getting moderator powers they started censoring the right, to immediate howls of "but that's not fair!" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Both sides richly deserve each other.
