friends help: When are we going to admit that ‘The Simpsons’ isn’t funny anymore? - Help.com

I’m glad I’m not the only one to feel this way :(

I think its a plot by Matt, and his team to push for Futarama: I think they are getting board of there own overused product.

I read that Matt wanted to work on Futarama full-time, the the exec’s at fox said no. Sabotage sounds like a logical dicision. Either that or they have hired a bunch of first year comedy writers to save money (credit crunch anyone?).

Did you ever watch a cartoon called “Home movies”, very funny, improvised diologue.
LOL,guranteed!

Seriously.. I never found it funny.. Lol know its weird - maybe I’m just a bit ahead of the rest of u :P

Are you talking about Simpsons or Home Movies?

I hope the lazy networks do give us something that’s fresh!
I’ve had it up to here with all the imported rubbish reality shows!
Although I have noticed that trend is beginning to die it ;)

I downloaded the latest Simpsons episode last weekend. And I have to say…
It was pretty funny. :)

Simpsons..

I still watch the Simpsons, and I still think it’s funny most of the time. Of course, I only watch the new ones, not the reruns. If you watch something that’s funny over and over, eventually it’s not funny anymore. Just like if you keep hearing a joke over and over, eventually it’s not funny anymore. I also like watching Family Guy. I think it’s funnier than the Simpsons.

Simpsons… Was never funny. Neither is Friends. There’s better TV out there.

Humour is in the eyes and ears of the beholder!

I would like to present to the court. Exhibit A
Funniest Home Videos!

How does the court of my own personal opinion find the defendant!

Guilty on infinite counts of being unfunny!

Of course there’s better TV out there. But not on Sunday night at 8pm.

Call me a geek, but the History Channel, Discovery Channel, Investigation Discovery, the Discovery Health Channel, TLC, etc. all play their most interesting stuff on Sunday nights.

i don’t think then Simpson’s was ever really that funny it just gave adults an a way to watch cartoons because the Simpsons is an acceptable cartoon for adults to watch. Just face it we all want to go back to the days when we got to watch cartoons every morning. We really don’t want grow up. Inside we are all still kids!

Interesting point. But I think any adult who didn’t really care (like me) about social acceptability would watch anything they felt like.
Including any and all cartoons of their choosing.
I know I do.

But then I refuse to grow up.
I should change my screen name to Peter Pan METHINKS!

Ooooh which Batman?
The 90s animated one… or the anime inspired “The Batman”?

This whole post triggered something in my mind.
I HATE those Harry Potter books with the ADULT covers!
:P

Yeah love those 90s Timms/Dini animations!
Got the entire Superman collection, part of the Batman, two seasons of Justic League, and one of Batman Beyond!

Very good stuff!

I was watching Spongebob a minute ago :p. Perils of Penelope Pitstop now ^^.

Is that the one with the Ant Hill Mob?

Yep :). And every episode is the same, just with different traps and kidnappings of Penelope.

Jason and the wheeled warriors, Thunder cats, Samurai pizza cats, Defenders of the Earth, Centerions and the great Cities of Gold. Viva 80’s animation!
