I make YouTube videos about The Simpsons
Sometimes I think, "if I make a really good and interesting video, more people will check out the channel." But sometimes it's just the ebb and flow of the algorithm and general interest that you have no control over

That's really nice that they have a button for it. At the time, I never heard anything for like 3 weeks, and eventually emailed them like, "where's my plaque, dammit" 🤣

I was reading some of the twitter discourse and wanted to shake these people by the shoulders with a "can you all please be normal about this"

I think they commented on it positively when it aired on The Simpsons earlier this year. But they did a snarky Simpsons parody on their show that just came out recently

I swear, the folks trying to make these jokey jabs into a thing would've died during the Simpsons/Family Guy stuff

The Marge death was way worse (in terms of clickbait). It was also a dumber controversy, imo, because flashforwards have always been loosey goosey with that stuff

They should just borrow from early South Park and try killing Milhouse in every episode during Season 38

Also also the good news is that I can do a second, "remember Alice? She's back, in corpse form" joke in a video (probably next week)

Also The New York Post is a trashy ragebait rag anyway, and that should be proof enough that this is a non-story

This is a character that no one really cares about, that they already killed off a decade ago. If anything, killing her for real this time makes things less confusing

Yes, but even a company like McDonalds tries to put on a front that they are not the Cheap Garbage Food Store. I guess Coca-Cola doesn't care

I dunno why a major corporation (let alone a soft drink) would want to be associated with AI slop. It just screams "our brand is about cheap low-quality garbage." It's broke ass behavior

Yep, this is the big critique of this kind of approach. They become more of a collection of personality attributes and archetypes, rather than characters who have ever actually done anything

Currently I think they could do this joke and it would technically be correct. I think the Party Posse was in 2001? And Homer and Marge were definitely in school at that time (as of today's timeline)

Matt Selman, wherever you are, I know you did this
November 18, 2025 at 5:42 PM
I would guess Homer but am realllllly not sure on that one
November 18, 2025 at 4:49 PM
This is why Selma is so grouchy

Unfortunately, it's doubtful I will cover the Fortnite season. I've never played it (and it's not really my kind of game) but even worse, I don't have a capture card to even get footage
