Read an essay once that said there's a dividing line between sweet and dumb Homer and mean and stupid Homer. They had actual terms for it that I can't remember, or I'd link it.

But there came a point where Homer stopped being someone who learns and someone who's just spiteful or the butt of the spite.

You're thinking of jerkass Homer IIRC

It did have this scene:

And yeah I don't care for the Skinner plot either, but I can just ignore it and pretend he's the real Skinner. You know, I always liked it when he got a chance to be badass and his Nam skills would kick in.

remember how once during Prohibition, Homer was able to brew enough of his own beer in his basement to supply the whole town, and called himself the Beer Baron?

contrast that to the ending of this

Simpsons Theory just posted a video about how Modern Simpsons (or at least the past 4-5 years) aren't nearly as bad as the series has been made to be.
The show has been genuinely good since season 27 or so.

The ending to P&P was pretty mean spirited.
I think others mentioned this in the topic, but was this really when the show began using "bully humor"?

I watched the entire series when Disney+ launched, and most of it was just mediocre at worst. There was very little that was outright awful. And the Lady Gaga episode wasn't even that bad.

I just like it all about the same in spite of the changes that have taken place over time. There's really only the one thing that I can't say I like these days.

I'm honestly worried about Julie Kavner's voice and throat health. Part of me thinks she should retire a legend and find a good replacement.

I don't have photoshop, someone edit this to replace Korvo with Marge.

Oh yeah, Kavner really needs to retire. A lot of people threw a fit about Carl and Dr. Hibbert being recast with black actors, but hearing how shot her voice is now is the one that actually bothers me.

I wonder why they are still keeping Julie Kavner around. My guess is if they fire her they are scared some of the other main character voice actors might quit.
