Back when simpsons was hot, it wasn't something my parents would like to watch

Too... y'know. Married With Children-y

Or Roseanne-y

Had a slight cloud of depression over it.

Which came from speaking the truth.

Simpsons isn't like that anymore. Now it's far more wacky. Everything they do is to keep its heart beating longer.

Integrity be **damned.**

Hence getting rid of Apu, I heard.

Reading that from start to finish was really interesting,

Aw no I loved apu

Everyone does.

I stopped watching when Maude Flanders died. Just checked and that was eighteen fucking years ago. Damn I'm old.

He's like the one character that's a legitimately good guy

Who loves Apu? <https://i.imgur.com/Yv7vlJf.gifv>

Nah, Apu scams people all the time with expired products. lol

"Eh no one will notice."

It's a head bag! Full of heady goodness.

No one gets off free.

FLANDERS is the legitimately good guy.

That's just every shopkeeper in general

Do you forget Flanders you silly doodly?

Ned Flanders is Donald Trump

I--

How do I even respond to that

Jk lol

What you just said

Was **bananas.**

Sorry to be so crass.

Oh Skinner is noble too.

The only time the blue haired lawyer ever got his poop pushed in

Seriously despite him fitting an American stereotype(as many Simpsons characters do) he's one of the only actually all around respectable character in the show

Flanders has the veneer of decency, but always ends up becoming judgemental, or authoritarian in any sort of alternative reality scenario where he's given power

one of those friendly people you never want in charge

I love friends

It's a great show

Never understood the affection that show has.

Friends = 🤢

it seemed alright

friends is great
