That is a shame b/c early Simpsons made great use of cutaways (“Oh no, it’s the Curies! We must flee!”). Plus, I always thought that they were OVER-used on Family Guy.

They forgot that if you wanna last in this business you gotta stay fresh.

I tune in every week, typically because I’m ready to eat dinner and settle in for Bob’s Burgers/whatever’s on HBO at 9. My review of modern Simpsons is “breezy and inconsequential.” There’s usually at least one joke that will catch me off guard and elicit a genuine belly laugh, but the second the clock strikes 8:30…

Literally heard and watched tape of this guy being terrible. This isn’t a good example of a witch hunt; this dude has well-documented racist and anti-semetic rants.

Ummm, I believe he likes to be called “Grimey”.

Film will very likely be renamed “Walter” in Germany...

Maybe the real Derek isn’t a complete fucking moron.

while he hasn’t yet said anything similar to all mexicans are rapist with regards to lgbtq issues..... if you want to know what his administration has done.... glaad is typically a good steward of this info

Counterpoint:  appointing judges who will at least attempt to overturn gay marriage, and attempting to ban transgender people from the military.

his vice president is mike pence. is that anti-gay enough for you?

You’re....reading quite a bit into her words that isn’t actually supported, and in a lot of cases is directly contradicted, by her actual words.

Well, first off, cool it with the “rapist” term here. I’m not defending Louis here (because of his behavior I no longer consume his work, and even what he was actually exposed as doing was certainly a crime), but there is a difference. But also, there’s no evidence that Sarah had any knowledge of Louis’ crimes at the…

From the interview:

It was a sex act, and Silverman participated by allowing CK to use her presence to get off. Whether she was into him or not is hardly the issue. Prostitutes have sex with people they’re not into all the time; some of them doing exactly what Silverman did for CK. That doesn’t mean they’re not engaged in a sex act,…

It’s a howard stern interview. It’s not like she issued a statement. She’s talking about her friend and her life in comedy. Truth isn’t always “helpful.” 

Judging by the comments I saw when she spoke about him on SNL back when the story broke, there’s an awful lot of people who feel that Louis did nothing wrong, but also that Sarah’s the epitome of liberal cancer for enabling him. It’s almost as though this has more to do with misogyny (and not a little antisemitism)…

Louis may not have had that much industry clout, but his manager Dave Becky did. It was Becky who warned people off complaining about Louis’s behaviour. Saying CK had no power is like saying a skinny cop has no power over me because I can bench more than him. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s how many…

You’re so naive. Don’t you understand all the true Hollywood power players of that time came from the writers room of Cedric the Entertainer Presents?

As I understood it, it wasn’t so much that Louis asked or didn’t ask, but rather the threats and the story killing anytime anyone got too close to blabbing. Like...technically, they consented, but only because Louis created an environment where not consenting was more trouble.

Who the fuck are you to tell her who she is and isn’t allowed to let masturbate in front of her?
