Fair enough, and there's no reason the show has to change for people like me, who are obviously not the majority. Part of why I wrote the micro manifesto up there is because the show doesn't have to compromise quality for broad appeal. It doesn't have to be edgy or cutting edge, or edg-ucational. It can just…

I don't think it's impossible for this show to be worth it's weight after all these years of getting fat. I mean, there have been a handful of episodes I've enjoyed in the last 7 or 8 years, so that's something. But could they please relegate all the current writers to exclusively work on background gags (they seem…

You know what? That was as nice a response as I could ask for. I appreciate your clarification and your good humor about the whole thing. I understand where you're coming from, and while it's not something I would prescribe to or necessarily agree with, I respect your right to pursue your beliefs in the way you do.…

A small issue I take with your comment here is that it's ignoring the things that Jack Chick has actually written and distributed in favor of an idealized reimagining which implies that the John 3:16 verse is the only page of the comics anyone ever reads. Also I'm sorry to say Caruso, but Rich Uncle Skeleton might be…

There's not much point in me pointing out the disgusting and hateful nature of Chick's work, the Internet's got that covered for life. But the fact that this one individual created such a sensation among people, real living people with their own stories to tell, really shows how vast the spectrum of human perspective…

Fair enough. Still felt like they could have done that arc in a million other ways and made it more interesting than: Homer dresses nice to impress boss and doesn't and stops.

Good for Tom Hanks. He needed a win.

Paul Feig is a big ol' dummy.

This was ok I guess. It wasn't bad, but it didn't do much for me. Usually I'm just so stunned by the likability of this show that I can't think of a complaint, but this was just ok.

I thought this episode was pretty sharp all things considered. Nothing about it screamed "This was cobbled together by one of the long-running voice actors who has showed discontent with the direction the show has taken in recent years who may have wanted to take it in a more artistic or dynamic direction" but it was…

This man deserves a medal, not for his journalistic ambition, not for his sharp comedic delivery, not for his dedication to messing with people who deserve it, but for his incredible transference of flustered outrage, pinpointed into the perfect passive aggressive missile every time someone tries something shady in…

You know, I liked some of the jokes in this movie. Not all of them, but a healthy amount. And while I didn't dislike this movie altogether, I think it's safe to say that it was pretty messy and I believe a big part of that was that Feig was leaning too heavily on his cast to make up the majority of the movie's…

That's fair. You know I can respect an old-fashioned genie being seriously fed up with his job as a glorified celestial butler. It's not a position I would envy. That's just a working class genie trying to carve a path for himself in a world already set out for him to fail. And to be honest, the kinds of scumfuck…

I have an opinion on this matter!

I love that they brought old Mr. Garrison back into the fray, but this episode just felt like very high stakes filler. There was a lot going on, and it felt like a lot of tensions in the season were building up to this, but for how much was at stake and how much was happening it felt like they were mostly getting…

This was pretty much fine. Would it be greedy though to ask that their Halloween episodes involve something of the spooky variety? The second story was a little spooky, but why have they just decided that every Treehouse of Horror is just a bunch of teen/mature movie parodies so versions of Simpsons characters can…

I think it's clear where the AV man stands on the issue, and I can empathize with that point of view, but I think this interpretation does a disservice to how morally gray Parker and Stone are being this season. Prepare for the paragraphs to come. Preparagraphs!

God, I could watch these characters do literally anything. I especially love it when they come upon domestic adventure scenarios like this. It tows the line between absurdity and believability so well. Nothing about this story of them getting stranded on a lost island, chased around by yaks and forced to cross a…

This was pretty good. I moved to Boston a year and a half ago, and from my limited time exposed to this city, I can appreciate how much of a love-hate letter this was to Boston.

3 and a half minutes in and I'm reminded that I hate it when these actors try to improvise arguments. It's just not funny, and not even remotely believable, so why not write actual dialogue instead? I guess that would take time… and writing…
