I was thinking about the 'what if ilx takes over the simpsons' concept upthread and I realized that it would prob just turn into an adult swim show

I saw one episode of Bobs Burgers. I liked it, but I'm not sure how much of that aws due to the fact that I want to make love to H Jon Benjamin's voice

yeah but primetime cartoons on big networks have to aim for ~mainstreamer~ tastes which means they have to walk a thin line cause your mom has to like them too. overall it's prob easier to make a good cartoon show than ever.

Ive seen about four minutes and it was pretty much like 90% gay jokes. And at least two Hispanic people where it was clear a white person was doing the voice

JONAH HILL DONE IT AGAIN
Agree with poster way above, it'd be great to see utterly bizarre and experimental Simpsons. i feel like the characters and storylines are so well known that you don't even need jokes for weird narrative episodes to be funny. Good use of the existing capital.
Of course nothing like that would ever happen, unless whoever has control over the creative direction totally loses his/her mind.

yeah, that jumped to mind when i wrote that. I'd love to see, say, an episode where Milhouse falls in love with Bart and the entire thing is like some uber sentimental after-school special. No jokes, just really uncomfortable emotions and out-of-step seriousness. i'd find that funny, at least.

wtf was that
― judith, Saturday, 31 December 2011 20:53 (twelve years ago) link
i want to see an episode where Milhouse and Bart are wrestling, put each other in sleeper holds, and both pass out, and lie on the ground motionless for the next 18 minutes

whiney so otm re: archer
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 31 December 2011 21:42 (twelve years ago) link
yeah absolutely, IMO Archer is kinda in the same realm as stuff like Family Guy where the jokes come so fast and are spoken so confidently that you kind of feel like it just has to be funnier than it actually is
the only animation that really impressed me lately was some weird Adult Swim show called SuperJail (or something like that) that I caught while flipping through channels - I don't know if it was funny per se but the animation was really something

also that "bart the general" clip is really amazing, everyone should be watching this
like all that dumb "Dead Bart" creepypasta stuff was pretty annoying but it did strike me how cool it would be if they really did make an episode that was totally surreal and uncomfortable to watch. South Park kinda crossed this line with the "You're Getting Old" episode but I'd love it if they just once did something totally inexplicable

Superjail is turrible

hey there was one episode on the other day where it was in the future and they were all the age they were supposed to be and and homer wasn't a drunk and maggie was a rock star. it was kind of cool. it could be almost ten years old though as far as know.
