Itchy and Scratchy - Goodbye, Poochie

Simpsons Episode: The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show
(S08E14)

[@Burguois]

"This document conforms to all applicable laws and statutes" is a hell of a punchline.

[@BenjaminGoose]

YAAAAAY!

[@Althalus2010]

Exactly: The Simpsons used to be so good that it could make a line like that funny. Now, it's... okay, I guess. But nothing like this.

Don’t give the modern Simpsons writers ideas.

[@juannaym8488]

@@toypop96 I know this may sound insane but season 34 and 35 have been genuinenly good. Season 33 also had some genuinenly great episodes. There's a new showrunner and the writers and the animators get a lot more time and agency. It feels more personal and a lot more like classic Simpsons whilst still feeling like its own thing. I would recommend A Serious Flanders, Pixelated and Afraid, Lisa the Boy Scout, Not It and Carl Carlson rides again. All of which are great to downright amazing episodes

There has also been too many dog cartoons non-stop. I have a dog and they are great animals and things like "Lady and the Tramp" were great but I agree that it does feel at times that it is the only animal cartoon producers/executives know. How about an owl cartoon for a change?

Pelcogo obscure or not, I still love other cartoons, but find scrappy doo the most annoying thing about an otherwise excellent show. To each their own, though.

[@destroyerblackdragon]

I don't particularly care for Scrappy myself but he kept the younger viewers attention and at the time It made scooby doo relevant long enough for the show to get popular again. Now we don't even need Scrappy anymore and he hasn't even been relevant since the 70's.

[@dobadobadooo]

@@lumer2b Same old tired bullshit, still waiting to hear any good reason as to why it was so bad. Not saying it was flawless or anything, but this attitude like it was outright terrible is so fucking dumb. I would be legit surprised if you've even given any actual thought into _why_ this finale was as bad as you say, most of the complainers are just hating on it because it's the popular thing to do, and because it didn't end the way they wanted/expected it to.

[@lumer2b]

@@dobadobadooo There's no object reason I can post to change your mind and that's fine, but I hated it. If you liked it that's fine, but most of us didn't, you should respect that. I've started disliking it way earlier than the end and here are some of my reasons (I would need to write an entire book of everything that went wrong): Arya was ruined when they separated her from The Hound - all of the mask face was ridiculously boring to watch and made that all that was building up before was useless, she was traveling through Westeros searching for vengeance and now, no, she's far away doing shit no one cares. Awful storytelling. And that kind of shit repeats all over. The whitewalkers, for example: They have been building this greater than great, more powerful than anything enemy since the first episode. And how do they solve this plot? With one, just one crappy episode. This makes no sense of scale or anything that was set before in the show. When the Night Watch found the Free Folk in season 4 I guess that was just one episode and it was much much better well made than the final fight. What the hell happened to Sansa? Why would she obey Littlefinger and go with Ramsey? Why would Littlefinger want that too? None of the actions that happened make sense on what was built before, it was just incredibly lazy so they had shock scenes cheaply. They created a vast interconnected world and lost track of everything, they just cut the ties really cheaply and in a lazy way. Don't know what to do with the Sand sisters? Just kill everyone. Don't know what to do with Danny "empire" in the East? Just abandon it. On season 6, Danny was already too close to Westeros, how do they deal with this in the story? Oh, just make so she wastes and entire season with the Dothraki again, that will help postpone the events to the glorious finale. What happened to the Night Watch when Jon and fatty left? Do you remember about distances? Do you remember how long it took for the Starks to travel south? But then on Season 7, every episode all characters just teleport all across Westeros so the plot can move. Again, you can enjoy this if you do, but most people saw the cheapeness and hate it, and that has nothing to do with it being "popular", the reason it is popular to hate on it is because it was crap.

[@thaggartxsoo]

That was such a cliffhanger to leave the Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie show on. What the hell was happening on his home planet? It's Firefly all over again.

thaggartxsoo doesn't matter now, Poochie's dead.
