Wasn't crazy about most of those skits either. Like THoH 29's cold open was better than the actual episode.

People may already have seen this IRL, as it airs tonight in the US. Simpsons Death Note anime crossover/tribute on the newest Treehouse of Horror.

It was pretty funny. The Westworld one was pure fanservice but it got a laugh out of me.
 
If anything, I was under the impression that The Simpsons doing a Death Note-Halloween special is almost 20 years too late. I was looking at some anime fan pages and most of Death Note’s fans were wondering why are they continuing to make Lisa the self-insert in almost anything Simpsons-related.

They used to be fans of the early seasons of The Simpsons.

Firstly let me just say selling out to a troon cow must be a new low for a show that in its glory days would have called that artist out as the incel turned troon who hates women that he really is.



Secondly why is the new treehouse of Horrors insist on parodying movies 3 to 5 years after they stopped being relevant? Outside of a rumored "director's cut " said to run over 7 hours long and a chapter 3, nobody talks about it (2017) much anymore. The same thing happened a few years ago when they tried to parody Jurassic World and it started arguably with the avatar parody that was over a decade ago.

At least the shininning and Bart Simpsons Dracula aired after those movies earned their classic status, and I know what you diddly did last summer was only 2 years after I still know what you did last summer and while the new slasher craze of the 90s was still going on.

I'd say its a combination of the production process taking so much time and the writers being trapped in the "eternal now". Yes the Death Note movie was a, (terrible), thing that was trending on Twitter at one point but by the time the script is written and the show is animated and released, its been two or three years since it was trending and everyone has written it off as crap. That's one strike against these new THOH parody's. The other is like you said, originally they were taking inspiration from the classics that had stood the test of time or they did segments in the style of horror genres, but now they just do what is popular in the public eye. When all you know is modern pop-culture, 99% of it is going to be forgotten garbage discarded from the publics memory when the next shiny product comes on the market. To these new modern writers, things like the Twilight Zone, the Amityville Horror, and Edgar Allan Poe don't exist but Jordan Pelees newest movie is the greatest thing in horror ever made until his new movie is released and advertised as the greatest thing in horror ever made. They're consoomers who only know about current product working on a show that advertises said product eight months after its debuted.

I didn’t find the jokes all that funny, but the effort to actually get the Death Note parody to actually be anime was nice. And it did looks really good.

I dunno. Death Note has had some decent pop culture legs. iirc there's another USA live action in the works
but yeah there's always been a remarkably long delay in Treehouse content, like iirc the AI one was like, what, three years after AI came and went?
 
thinking a bit more the only Treehouse off the top of my head that weren't at least a few years old were Clinton/Gore and the time Guillermo Del Toro threw a Pacific Rim joke into his opening

Death Note parody is a decade too late, but that raises the question of who the fuck still watches Simpsons

The same ones who still think Family Guy is counterculture for making jokes about Trump and Republicans because they both are liked by FOX — the same place that pays MacFarlane to make said Trump and Republican insults disguised as jokes.
 

I thought this was fan made at first. That it was Dark Simpsons or something like it. But no. This is real. The unfunny nature confirms it.

It just kind of personally offended me in a way. It's another attempt by the powers that be to twist and alter the classic seasons and moments that we love and insert their bullshit. I get why they chose the Xmas episode because it was the first one aired but it's a classic episode and still a great Xmas special. Why not choose a more mundane episode without any specialness attached like the one where Bart decapitated the Jedediah Springfield statue? And allow me to answer my own question: it was done out of memberberries and spite.

Reference humour is the lowest form of wit. This is the main issue with modern Simpsons. Instead of a joke or a parody which can be enjoyed outside of inner-knowledge, the writers put in buzzwords for a cheap chuckle. Most of the new Treehouse of Horrors are like this. You don't have to watch the Shining to find the parody funny. The Hunger Games or Stranger Things parodies are all references, nothing more.

This is literally just references to modern times...? Jesus, it's almost insulting that they expected to get some laughs outta this
