Lisa Discovers The Truth - The Simpsons 35x04

[@alphabros5226]

Aw man, Carl must've been bummed when Jimmy Buffet passed away :/

[@redrasegarden]

The world was. But hay, he saw the guy live a lot. That’s more than a lot of people can say.

[@gamejunky3040]

No arguing with that.

[@JaneSt.Valentine]

Apparently, he passed seven weeks before this episode aired...

[@Actionfan19]

So she wasn’t making ocean water drinkable, she was turning ocean water into snake oil.

[@StealthMarmot_]

Interesting fact, Snake Oil was never a fake thing in concept, it was actually oil from Chinese water snakes used to treat joint pain, basically Bengay for ye olde tymes. BUT, there were Snake Oil salesman who would sell FAKE snake oil, stuff made to just look like actual snake oil.

[@tomedy_official]

It makes sense of you think about it. Show millions of people out there thought of the idea of converting seawater into drinkable water. The question is why has no one done it yet

[@jairgsjunior]

@@tomedy_official It's already possible, but too expensive to be comercialy viable. It would need a extreme need for water for it to begin being possible to commercialize.

[@Merilirem]

Not really. She just found out the specific person and method was a lie. Her beliefs are still strong, which is why it hurts to have them betrayed. The only belief that was destroyed was her belief in this project.

[@karenfan010]

I’ll never get used to carl’s new voice.

[@electrobob992]

Same, at least Hibert's became close to the original. I realize that the whole thing is a bit bunk, saying only black people should voice black characters. Mainly because it actually violates one simple labor regulation that has existed for a long time... Considering applying to voice a specific voice role is also a job. People apply for an exact role, for example "Employee A wants to voice this black character, so they apply for the job to voice them.. But since they are white they get blocked.." Thus violates part of the labor laws all jobs MUST abide by. The specific labor law being: "Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964", which is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). To sum this up, this law forbids employers from restricting ANYONE trying to get a job they apply for regardless of their gender, religion, place of origin, race or even color. Doesn't matter if you are white or black, ALL are to be treated as equals, given an equal chance in being employed. Voicing a specific character IS a job.

[@detoxfidelity]

@@electrobob992I assume there must be some exception to that for acting, like when I look at Zero Dark Thiry, somehow all the terrorists got played by middle eastern dudes, I don’t think that’s just they edged all the white, black and asian actor’s in their acting.

[@bobkolterjahn4266]

@@electrobob992If anything, It's kind of racist.

[@sagittariusrat4959]

​@@electrobob992I doubt that 100% applies to entertainment. The grand majority of live-action adaptations try to cast actors that are reasonably similar to how the characters looked before, and any live-action film that has race, gender, etc. as a theme are bound to cast specific characters with specific people.

[@skootergirl22]

They would still have a black actor voicing a white character

[@lilyofthevalley2048]

Such a perfect take on Theranos, right down to the founder having a romantic relationship with an evil, uncomfortably older man.

Weird seeing Simpsons use a cutaway gag

[@BlueGriffin20]

Still more lore building than FG at least.

[@masonasaro2118]

they’ve done them before, usually when homer is misinterpreting a phrase or name (like imagining the mayo clinic as a sandwich hospital), not to mention the classic “under the sea” parody bit from homer badman.

[@Merilirem]

This isn't really the same thing as what Family guy does even if they are similar. Its less a cutaway gag and more just showing relevant information. A cutaway gag is more like if the joke was in the cutaway itself.

[@arinopescado2685]

Carl sure like Jimmy Buffet.. 0:22

whats wrong with going to a concert of the same guy hundreds of times, that shows he is a big fan

I feel like this is apples and oranges. There’s no shame in seeing a jimmy buffet concert (or concerts)

[@simrag]

Came here for a new future discovery. Looks like its about drinks

[@kevinlane1219]

It would have made sense to build up a lot of hype around this machine and sell the water, rather than the machine, itself. That way, she could have sold all of the stock and disappear before the truth could come out. It's like what happened with the Dale vehicle in 1975.

[@thewhyzer]

You'd think that thousands of people dying of dehydration after drinking the water would be noticeable.

Wouldn't drinking seawater kill you?

You need to drink about 2 gallons in a relitively short time for it to kill you. But lower doses can still make you sick.

No you have to boil it first then you can drink it

[@destroyerblackdragon]

@@princesszeldaprincess447 That's to turn it to steam so you can drink the vapor. They're not doing that though they're just adding sugar so you can't taste the salt but drinking salt water will dehydrate you and make your blood real thick.

Yeah, if this represents the quality of recent Simpsons seasons, people who call Simpsons good again simply are wrong. The writing here is not good. It's possible the writing can only be sufficiently appreciated in context, but this is like season 14 quality at best.

A scene can't represent overall quality, your comment is as stupid as saying season 8 sucks because of "my sister, my sitter".

​@@acdh2971Firstly, I said, "if". I clearly wasn't talking about this whole episode, just this one scene, which I thought was likely had some merit if someone posted it in particular.
