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
I think the newest episode of The Simpsons I've seen (on TV, too) was the Elon Musk one. Shameless rip off of the classic "Oh Brother where art Thou" episode. Celebrating Musk way before he became the human cultural-financial bubble he is now. Doing active harm to the world, in retrospect, by stroking his ego and imprinting him as an engineering business genious on tens of thousands of nerds watching.
crazy how the show is still making accurate predictions even though it's been unrecognizable garbage for like 20 years
They definitely have a lathe in there
There's a later episode that mentions how they have to repair the damage done by Musk, who ended up being a snake oil salesman on par with the monorail guy. One of the few episodes with a canon effect felt later.
That's pretty cool actually; maybe they noticed they had done blatant advertisement "on accident"
that was 2015? wow
