Before the pandemic, the last movie I saw it was 8 bucks but 5 for matinee.
Now it's 10 dollars and 8 bucks for matinee.
I want off this ride.
Anyways, I dont recall if I talked about this or if it's already been brought up but I watched this Principal Skinner compilation of dark jokes and I think it's the perfect encapsulation of the decline of quality.

Skinner got retconned into a massive sissy. He not only survived a Vietcong prison camp he's a green beret.

Has there been one(s) where she's a "euphoric" atheist?

Ironically, the one episode where she was at her most euphoric was the episode "Lisa the Skeptic", which was an episode either early in the show's Silver Age or late in the Golden Age and is honestly one of the better episodes.

It helps that both the fundies and the euphoric atheists are depicted as utter jackasses while Marge is depicted as the most rational one in the whole situation while also being firmly on the side of faith.

IIRC, there was also that one episode early on in the post-movie Zombie Simpsons years that was a shoddy ripoff of "Inherit The Wind", a few years too late for the "Intelligent Design vs. Evolution" debate.

At least when Futurama did a "Creationism" episode in the Comedy Central years, it was right when there was a brief flash of that little debate coming back in Kansas and said episode was one of the few decent post-revival Futurama episodes.

Plus that ep was really funny and gave us a good meme

Its only familiar because you lived in that era, meanwhile I can imagine a zoomer looking at 16bit carts like I looked at vinyl records when I grew up with CDs.

This applies to me, but gaming instead of music.

It is ironic how after multiple generations pushing the envelope zoomers are instead going back, like I remember the older genX kids watching beavis and butthead while the boomers who grew up with disney were horrified saying "you can't do that in a cartoon!" and then we millennials were doing "kill X celeb" flash animations and pushing things to the point that the genX's thought we were little psychos. But now zoomers can't handle shit, everything is scary, everything is bigoted, and every character with a friend of the same gender is actually gay.

Case in point: Justin Bieber.
Zoomies think we were psychos for wanting that annoying chipmunk dead and fantasizing over his death:

The film made half a billion dollars from a $75 million budget. It was a runaway success. 7/11s (IIRC?) were rebranded into Kwik-E-Marts and people suddenly cared about Simpsons more than they had done for well over a decade.
 
I've got a petty but understandable gripe with Dark Simpsons: when he uses snippets of Zombie Simpsons, it absolutely throws off the editing and ruins the flow. It's not just the newer animation style which seems out of place, but also since nu-Simpsons is just terrible and the jokes always fall flat -- therefore, using a gag from a new episode always clashes with classic jokes.

For example, in this latest upload, there's a pointless gag from a newer episode which has Homer trying to eat fake pretzels and almost choking -- which seems completely out of place and doesn't fit in with the rest of the plot, and also looks ridiculous when juxtaposed with footage taken primarily from Golden-era episodes:


In fact, when you watch the buildup and climax, the whole fake-pretzel gag completely affects the rest of the plot of this entire video.

Couldn't agree more. As a fellow puritan of the Golden Era episodes, it irritates me to see soulless, digital zombie Simpsons clips mixed in with these mashups. That pretzel choke thing was pointless and derailed the overall pacing of the plot. Oh well. I got a chuckle out of the She-She Bar part, though.

Eh the pretzel thing was basically foreshadowing in the same way the lack of a fire exit at the lesbian bar was.

Alright, after seeing this comment, I gave it a second go and watched it again. The pretzel thing actually does make sense now that I understand it was a foreshadow, but in our defense, the gag does go on for too long and plus since it's from the zombie era, the juxtaposition still throws it off a bit. They could have streamlined it. I still love the channel and usually unconditionally enjoy everything this guy churns out.

Eh, they know this. Which is why there made some videos dubbed "Seamless Cuts" where it's incredibly obvious the shift between the animation styles. Heck, one such montage even included a Muppet Mr. Burns from that one special involving Katy Perry.

- Seamless, huh!?
- ... You're fired.
- And with good reason!

I think I remember the one you mean, that was the one where Ned was offended evolution was being taught, right? And the big gotcha moment is when he calls Homer a big ape?
 
Remember the girl that posted this Internet famous photo of her holding VHS tapes of famous anime and a Game Boy Color?
