There's actually a few small problems I have with the show now that, when added together, form the reason why I actually don't watch the show anymore (at least the new ones. I still have tapes upon tapes of old shows from the first 9 seasons).
No ones needs a shred of intelligence to get the jokes anymore. It's all stupid puns and fart jokes. A lot of the jokes are about celebrities, TV shows, and movies. It's turned into an actual sitcom, and I fucking hate sitcoms. It's just not a smart show anymore.
Remember the first 9 seasons? Everything that happened could be based on real experiences, such as Homer almost having an affair with a co-worker, Lisa helping Homer gamble on football, or Bart shoplifting right before Christmas. What are the plots now? Homer being shipped to some unknown island after making a website? Bart moving away from his parents and living in an apartment with a skate park in the building? Homer hiring a professional private eye to follow Lisa around so he can learn more about her? I mean, what the fuck?
Celebrities aren't that great. Stop putting them in the episodes for no reason, dipshits.
Cartoony, nonsensical shit that doesn't belong on the Simpsons. Stuff like Homer sparring with Tony Hawk in mid-air using skateboards
SUCKS AND IS NOT WHAT THE SIMPSONS IS ALL ABOUT. I've mentioned this many times, but Matt Groening said in a Season 1 commentary that he wanted the Simpsons to be a "show where, as crudely as the animation is, the characters face real life situations and have real life dilemmas". In other words, a cartoon that didn't act like a cartoon. Looks like they fucking trashed that plan.
Homer isn't funny when he has the IQ of patio furniture.
AND I'M DONE. I DON'T WATCH THE SHOW ANYMORE. WHEN I SAY I HATE SOMETHING, I FOLLOW THROUGH WITH MY DISGUST AND BOYCOTT IT BECAUSE DAPHNE SAYS SO.
