Re: The Simpsons
I'm watching a new episode right now because I hate myself or something. It isn't good at all—no surprise there—but a lot of the voices sound a bit off. I assume it's because the cast are all in their 80s now, but it's still jarring.

Re: The Simpsons
I think all of the POC characters have been recast as well, that might be part of it. Hibbert is Kevin Michael Richardson, and Carl is Alex Desert, if I recall correctly. On top of that, Shearer and Kavner have shredded their voices over the years and are a lot less effective. This is most noticeable with Shearer when he attempts Otto.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 8:13pmI'm watching a new episode right now because I hate myself or something.

I was thinking of checking out the newest season as people have been talking it up, but I assume it's all wishful thinking.

No, this is distinct from recast voices. Homer, Lisa, and Bart often sounded off to me.Kory wrote: ↑21 Mar 2022, 2:42pmI think all of the POC characters have been recast as well, that might be part of it.

Re: The Simpsons
Every seven years, like a locust, I emerge to check out a new episode. Then I retreat, satisfied that my suspicions were correct.Kory wrote: ↑21 Mar 2022, 3:15pmWell you shouldn't be watching new ones anyway.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Mar 2022, 2:56pmNo, this is distinct from recast voices.

Re: The Simpsons
Before I die, Jesus, can I have a Christmas Ape cartoon?

Re: The Simpsons
"christmas ape goes to summer camp" sticks in my brain as one of my favorite minor simpsons gags
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: The Simpsons
It's a throwaway gag, but my brain sees so much absurd potential that I'm sad it doesn't actually exist. I fully believe a "Adventues of Christmas Ape" series would be a zillion times better than the last twenty years of the Simpsons (yes, yes, low bar and all that).
