Klia Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 I think my favorite comes from KB as well. Kent Brockman:Thanks to Old Springfield, we'll all be taking Golden Showers now!" Crowd: Laughs Kent Brockman: What? What? Crappy episode but I laughed my ass off. Golden Showers. How crazy can you get. Well now that I won't be making a double post I'm going to post my long ass complaints about the Simpsons. Cheerio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smon Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Also I think I may know where Springfield is... not sure though: We know it is by the sea and on the same shore as New York, considering it's less then a day's boatride away from the Statue of Liberty I think they're either in N.J., Virginia or N.C. As Lisa once said "It's obvious if you pay attention to the clues." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klia Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 Klia's Long ass Complaint About Characteriziation Simpsons Family Homer Time has been the crulest to Homer. In early seasons such as season 1 and 2 we see him as a loving, caring, if not a bit lazy father/husband. He's not perfect, a little overweight and an alcholic but when it comes down to it, he'd give up everything for his family. This is most notably shown in Lisa's Pony where he takes up a job at the Kwik-E-Mart and the power plant to help pay for Lisa's pony. In later seasons though, we see him totally disrescpecting his family to the point where he would let them die, most notably in Kidney Trouble. Some agrue that it was just out of fear but the Homer that we all knew and loved was gone forever. Lisa: Lisa has also suffered from repeated bad characterization. She's gone from a smart, intellignet, feeling, and loving young girl to a know-it-all who looks down on everybody (Lisa the Vegetarian). Marge: Her character has been all over the place. She represents the mother trying to raise a perfect family yet resigned to the fact that her family will never be perfect and is a symbolism of feminism. However, the writers have moved away from writing her as such and create a one-dimensional outlook towards her family of always trying to change them. Bart: His character has suffered the least. However he seems a bit more uncaring towards the world than before. Go ahead. Skip over this post if need be. I'm going to write one up about Burns later as I feel he's changed the most. I realize that these aren't the most well-written and are crude but hey, I'm not writing a novel here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smon Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I feel that Maggie has gotten a lot more, and in some ways a lot less, depth then most people realize. What started as a dumb joke of a character has become a slightly cocky, pop-culture imitating, manipulative brat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well she always was a pop-culture imitating brat as seen in Marge Vs Itchy and Scratchy. But for the most part she's stayed the same. The most drastic take on her though was in Who Shot Mr. Burns. Lately she hasn't done anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychochaos3 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Also I think I may know where Springfield is... not sure though: We know it is by the sea and on the same shore as New York, considering it's less then a day's boatride away from the Statue of Liberty I think they're either in N.J., Virginia or N.C. As Lisa once said "It's obvious if you pay attention to the clues." to find out where they live is one of my life's quests. Hertes one of the clues I discovered. Its more than 2000 miles from Orlando florida shown when principal skinner tried to to stop Krabappel from getting a teacher of the year award and took willys super cool spy car. He passed a sign saying Orlando florida 2??? miles away. In another episode homer went on a hunger strike to prove that the springfield Isotopes were going to move to albequerce. Right when he was about to give up, the team owner tried to give him a hotdog. Homer, with his intense knowledge of food, proved his point by showing the hotdog was filled with southwestern ingredients. This proves that their springfeild isn't in the south west and is 2??? miles away from Orlando florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klia Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 But the weather. Also it's been shown that Springfield is a few minutes from Las Vegas in Old Money. Attention: I just got the Bart, Homer,and Ralph book of the Simpsons Library of Wisdom. Ralph's is by far the best as they don't concentrate so much on character descriptions.

DarthAve Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Yay, simpsons board!!! I will say this much, I love Sideshow Bob(Kelsey Grammer's only good role, since 3/4 people in the US are to dumb to understand Fraiser) more that my nail poilsh collection. He and I have so much in commen. -Both love broadway -Both want to kill a ten year old -Both have been to jail -We kinda have the same looking hair, except I look like that in the morning. -Both have big feet -Both plan on moving to Europe to escape the police and such. "Attempted murder, now honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry? " Like I said, Sideshow Bob rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klia Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Personally, I don't like Sideshow Bob. Not that I can't appreciate Kelsey Grammer's acting which is superb, but I find the episodes overrated and a bit repitivive. In the Simpsons you can't just have one favorite character. It's too hard. Simpsons:Abe Moe's Tavern: Moe School:Edna Power Plant:Classic Burns (he's **** now) Townspeople:Herman Misc:Lionel Hutz Guest Star:Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthAve Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Ok, Here are my favorites Simpsons:Lisa Moe's Tavern: Lenny School:Nelson Power Plant:That guy who had a grudge against Homer....ugh, it's on the tip of my tongue.

Klia Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 gforgeting makes my head hurt. At one point I thought this was all sad, how much I knew about the universe, but then I realized nerd=cool and from then on I've dedicated my life to finding quarters on the sidewalk so I can pay for that damn state tax. Top 5: Simpson and Delilah Life on the Fast Lane Homer's Enemy Bart the General Grade School Confidental. To add to that, I even got the Road Rage game. *hangs head in shame* I may have the only version of Do the Bartman on the internet. It took me about 4 months to find.

DarthAve Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Like I told you, they make great juice. You can't get yo' hands on those, Minute Made. But still, I do have Road Rage, and Hit and Run and they both rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klia Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 I've seen every last Simpsons YTMND on YTMND....yes, even the bad ones. I don't think I can watch one episode without cringing every few seconds. Homer hates Mario was the only decent part of Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass. Speaking of episodes, the new one will be on in an hour for us Eastern Coast peoples and it should be on now in the Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthAve Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Oh, congradulations. I have been watching Project Runway all day. "Designers, I wanna f*** you like an animal. I wanna feel you on the inside. Designers, you will let me violate you." Why can't the simpson's have dirty humor like that, not just mildly dirty humor. I mean, will homer ever say "Marge, when I see you, you bring me closer to god." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
