Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!

Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"

To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.

But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in !simpsonsshitposting@sh.itjust.works.

Guess the Episode "Rules"

These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

Oh man… I still remember catching reruns of the Batman TV show. The spontaneous bat dance was so confusing… I think they caught the joker and it’s like a 3 way boogie session with cat woman?

Going to need to find that this week :-)

It's imperative that we study the Western culture that made us great.

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Soooo good, thank you 😊

Kids today are only familiar with the new Simpsons movie character. Russ Cargill, hah! The only true character is Hank Scorpio, Brad Goodman, or Jaques. And we didn't need high definition TV to improve our characters appearance. Pure nostalgia.

Yeah Mr. Scorpion was good

The Bat-tusi was created in 1966, long before Tracy Ullman got hired by Fox.

Yes, hence the "26 years old." That implies that the Batman reference was in a 1992 Simpsons episode, which would indeed have been 33 years ago.

You do realize that not everyone has had the advantages you've had?

Some of us had to claw and fight our way through the interwebs to find the ancient scrolls.

If I choose to share the hard won fruits of my endeavors with those who have never the chance to see Batman as it was intended to be seen, on a 16 inch B+W antenna TV, than I should be commended, not mocked.

My advantages are ... knowing the current year, and how to read and add?

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

And your disadvantage is you need people to add the '/s'

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Great answer!

The Batman TV show gave me a lot of my sexual perversions

I also get hard when a see someone running toward the pier with a giant bowling-ball style bomb.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb 💣

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Does that happen often?

Asking for a friend...

But as I consider the question, I'd guess that the real answer is taht it can't happen often enough for some people.

I love hearing about the crazy debauched orgies the cast would get up to all the time in the 60s.

Hollywood really does suck these days. now they just want to fuck kids and remake bullshit movies.

Actual open swing club, closed in the 1980s due to the AIDS eopidemic.
