The Simpsons gets a new opening sequence

[Seven]

Despite the fact that the Simpsons has been relatively gooseberry fool for the last 8 years or so, it's still better than 90% of everything else on TV.

I love Simpsons still, but this is true.

I'll admit Simpsons are better in old days but I still enjoy the new episodes. I do think they should axed it, give some rest, then make new series or whatever...but I don't think that'll happen since The Simpsons is very very very popular.

Anyway, when I thought the new opening sequence is rather cool, it's too long. Hopefully it's just one-timing thing.

What! The old Italian sauce guy was brilliant!

I thought it was bloody boring. I watched it with a group of friends and we sat and watched it in complete silence.

Exactly. I didn't even smile once. Family Guy made my face hurt.

Bah you're just trying to be trendy by not liking the Simpsons.

I used to like The Simpsons- when it was funny. It isn't funny any more.

Yes
Strangely I walked in on watching Family Guy near the end of the episode and laughed for most of it, and The Simpsons followed, one person left, and the room fell silent. It was painful.

Closest I could find to an official thread

Have you heard Mr Burns voice now



It’s the same actor - they’re just old

Could you not have made a new thread, instead of bumping a tangentially related one from 2009?

I saw that clip going around on Twitter. It's pretty awful. Both the voice acting and the writing.

Is there not a thread called Canyonero that is for Simpsons related stuff?

It's a perfectly cromulent thread title.

It's cliquey as strawberry float.

Well I for one welcome our new necrothread overlords

Sounds like me doing a Mr Burns impression. A bad one.

It's a reference to one of the most famous jokes on the show(as is the post you've responded to), I don't really see how that's cliquey to be honest.

Well, for the reason that started this conversation. Average Joe (sorry Hexx) wants to post Simpsons related news, searches for the Simpsons thread and can't find it, because you need to be aware that the Simpsons thread is called something else. It's a forum-specific quirk and quite unwelcoming for outsiders. Hence, cliquey.

It's niche, not cliquey. It's not a forum specific quirk either, it's an actual quote from the show. The thread was started specifically for a conversation about the Canyonero quote/episode fifteen years ago and has evolved into a more general Simpsons meme page over time, the thread title was simply never changed. That is neither unwelcoming nor cliquey, simply missable. Not everything that isn't immediately obvious is cliquey and vice versa, and it's a point of genuine frustration that people confuse the two. Calling something "cliquey as strawberry float" and "unwelcoming" implies a fairly deep negative and if you read the thread, there very clearly isn't anything negative or unwelcoming about it.

That, to be fair, is quite cliquey.
