It's just 20 minutes of various characters sucking him off. Mind-numbing stuff. Actual worst episode

By this point you can't expect anything good from Simpsons now.

Due to this, the worst episode is still Principal and the Pauper. It signaled the end of the golden era, was a significant step down from basically what the previous 6 years or so had been, and there was no warning of how bad it would be.

Read the plot summary. Didnt believe it was real. Watched the beginning of the episode. This show has fallen so far

Old Simpsons would relentlessly mock current Simpsons.

I was expecting this to be a subtle joke where you describe the episode but it's actually the Hank Scorpio episode.

Current Simpsons has some really good episodes here and there. They are sprinkles in a cupcake of mediocrity

Julie Kavner, the voice of Marge, is really sounding rough though.

If you saw that lady gaga episode, it makes you want to hit yourself for watching it.

I think the worst part about modern Simpsons is just that its still called the Simpsons. modern Simpsons isn't bad per se, they've just had to turn into a completely different show than it was in the 90s.

There are still classic Simpsons episodes (usually 1 or 2/season) but the episodes tend to be "fine" like the kind of show you put on if you just want to watch TV and not really care what is actually going on.

Also so much better than modern Family Guy.

I binged the entire series last year. I don't think the series is near as bad as it's made out to be.

This episode, however, is one of the worst ever. It's this esoteric parody of The Man Who Fell to Earth, but just isn't funny or satirical. People threw a fit over the Lady Gaga episode, but at least it had great artistic choices and she was a natural in her role, but Elon is by far the worst actor of any celebrity guest.

So this episode came out in 2015? I think back then Musk was more favorably viewed in the public light so an episode just sucking him off would make more sense than if it was made now, where I think Musk is a lot more hated.

There was a certain optimism around Musk several years ago, like he was gonna change the world for the better or something. Now people view him kinda more like a Bond villain.

The Simpsons have been dead to me since 2001. Still love all the oldies though.

Its awful in basically the same way, in that they shoved a celebrity in there and the whole episode was based around how cool they are. Except Lady Gaga herself is at least a more over the top character, and fit more in a cartoon, whereas not only is Elon Musk way less popular now so an episode about how great he is really doesn't work as well, but Elon Musk is also super ****ing boring.

I think its worse, because at least Lady Gaga is more likeable a person.

I hate that episode too but for me the golden era lasted through season 12.

I consider S11 "Behind the Laughter" to be the series finale

it's just too perfect as a satirical deconstruction of the show
