Man the Simpsons really makes some bad choices with Voice Actor replacement. Like the voice actor isn't bad in other roles, but the cracks are noticeable here.

All I hear is Grey Griffin. They also did this with Dr. Hibbert by recasting him with Kevin Michael Richardson. Both talented, but when it's an established character that's been around for 40 years it's too noticeable.

They should have done what Family Guy did and found a YouTuber who does a near dead on impression. There's got to be people out there that could replace each of the characters.

Yeah Family Guy did a smarter move in getting some people who have done impressions before which I respect more than what the Simpsons did. I still find it hilarious that some butthurt Indian bullied the writers to remove a character from the show as though that was the issue (a really stupid one mind you but still).
 
Honestly the best thing we can hope for at this point is that the show gets so bad and hilariously out of date with its satire and writing it comes back to being funny again. A anti-comedy of sorts, kind of what family guy has become in the past few years, yep FG is doing better than Simpsons even now, how sad.
 
The plot of this week's episode is Homer getting cancelled for being sexist and becomes friends with Joe Rogan apparently.

So basically a remake of Homer Badman with cringe current year politics and gratuitous celebrity cameos.

Are they actually getting Rogan to guest star, or are they just using an impersonator to play a fictional character to be a satire of Rogan? Kind of like how Mr. Burns was a guest on Howard Stern Jerry Rude's show:

 
Early Simpsons (like the Tracey Ullman shorts) are like the Primordial Era.

Good Simpsons is like the Stelliferous Era.

Zombie Simpsons is like the Degenerate Era.

Current Year Simpsons is like the Black Hole Era.

And if the show keeps going, it could become like the Dark Era: a void where nothing happens.

Jesus fucking Christ, that actually sounds so bad it might be a funny watch with how dated and cringe the humour has become, this is exactly what I mean, they’re so desperate for ideas now the writers will just throw whatever that weeks politics and news is a hot story, focus that episode on it, throw in a relevant celebrity, make a few cringe and dated references to old trends and dated pop culture references and Bang! You’ve got a zombie Simpsons episode.

The show is becoming an anti comedy now and I’m kinda for it. I’m gonna keep watching just see how desperate and out of touch the show becomes that it’s laughable. At least there’s comedy to be had in failed drama.
 
So in the new episode was there any insightful commentary on internet mobs and cancel culture like how Homer Badman made fun of sensationalist tabloids, or was it just the usual MSM talking points on podcasters combined with "hey you recognize this guy right"? I'm not expecting there to be anything funny in the episode, I'm past the point of expecting actual humor in the new episodes.

The "Right Wing Podcast House" segment with unnamed Joe Rogan trying to welcome Homer (after he was shunned everywhere else) only for Homer to decide that it's too low, even for him, was literally about 5 seconds. I'm struggling to remember any other meaningful social commentary from the episode beyond "website on smartphone say Homer Simpson bad so everyone hate Homer now" The final act of the episode was the "cancelled" Suicide Squad trying to infiltrate a complex on an island housing servers to upload a virus that'll erase every video of them from the Internet only for most of the Suicide Squad to get distracted by clickbait and only Homer manages to get to the server. He starts to upload the virus but realizes that it's a ploy by rich and powerful assholes to get anything negative about them also erased from the Internet so he pulls the virus USB stick out before the upload is finished and insteads reads a public apology written by Lisa that everyone watches and it resolves everything, but you don't actually hear the apology, you just hear a Morgan Freeman impersonator narrator telling you that it resolves everything.

Yeah, it was a mostly terrible episode, and I'm someone who actually quite liked the previous episode so I'm not all negative about [Current Year] Simpsons.

To be honest, I didn't even know that guy was supposed to be Joe Rogan when I watched it but, then again, I don't watch or listen to Joe Rogan (not that I have anything against Joe Rogan, I just don't really listen to his style of podcast).

I'm hoping one of the Disney execs watches an episode and hates it so much he or she demands the show be cancelled.
