Speaking of, I hear that fantasy series by Groening is only online. Being a product of Current Year, I doubt it's good.
But maybe it is?

Eeyup. A "Snuggle dungeon" with all the degenerate bells and whistles.
Unsurprisingly Marge wasn't into it.
Making me wonder why the fuck Homer thought she would be.

Tell you what, ill be a big brave boy and look on youtube to see how much cringe we can expect from this concept

Well it seems that thankfully actual simpsons clips from newer eras still get deleted on sight. On the other hand the brain behind Dark Simpsons seems to have used the episode to create this

In some ways, I've been a social media hater since the days of Myspace, but that was also the year I turned 18 and I think I simply miss being a kid and a teenager, but that was also the year before the Great Recession.
2007 was simply the end of an era both personal and in general and it's been either a mixed bag since, or downright shitty.

I didn't go to a 7-Eleven dressed up as a Kwik-E-Mart but I did visit the Kwik-E-Mart at Universal Studios in Florida last year and it was a disappointment. It was just a generic gift shop with a bunch of displays and shelves for merch and the only thing that was from the show was they had a mock-up of the Squishee machine behind the counter and a few pictures on the wall. It was a wasted opportunity, you could have had aisles like in the store filled with stuff or had a wall be a mock-up of the freezers with one dedicated to Frostillicus and another as the Alcohol-Free Beer section while the others had stuff for sale in them like Duff Beer or Buzz Cola. Its a shame because the Moes Tavern bar was an actually decent recreation of the bar from the show even if the Love Tester machine was busted. Just a giant waste of opportunity.

The 7-11 Kwik-E-Mart actually did have Frostillicus in all his glory which was a nice touch.
I was rather disappointed by The Simpsons ride. I get that it's a ride so it can't be very poignant but the whole thing just came off as rather lazily done. Also I thought it was dumb that you just go thru a Springfield Version of Disneyland/Universal Studios. The ride should have been exploring the Power Plant which can be fully turned into a zany event.
Edit: Wikipedia said the Simpsons Ride was supposed involve the Power Plant, but Harry Shearer didn't want to come in and voice Mr. Burns or Smithers. Shame.

The Simpsons Ride sucks, I hate that it replaced the Back To The Future ride.

I liked The Simpsons Ride, though I also rode it back before I started watching the Golden Age episodes. Just like the movie, I'm afraid of going back to it again because I found it hilarious at the time but my only frame of reference were the then-modern episodes.
There's also the fact that the trip to the Universal Studios was one of the best times of my life so that certainly colored my perception. Of course I also found it entertaining enough to ride it like 2 or 3 times.

“Never fear, we’ve got stories for years...”
The sad thing is that even though I had no prior knowledge of there being a fucking sex dungeon episode, I immidiately knew you were not joking with this post. The simpsons is such goddamn trash that you could say they did absolutely fucking anything in an episode and I would immidiately and unquestioningly believe you. You could tell me flanders molested maggie while wearing a MAGA hat and I would believe it.

They have only now just gotten out of the first ten seasons. They haven't mentioned any new stuff except for some passsing references, and to gush when they got to go to a script reading and got to meet most of the cast and producers.

Sorry for the slight derailment to get back on topic...you Sneed posters do know Sneed and feed comes from an Early zombie era episode right? Eiei annoyed grunt has all the hallmarks. An opening plot line that's quickly abandoned in favor of a farmer plot. The family staying in some place other than Springfield and being treated as outcasts for like one scene, homer showing no concern whatsoever about his job at the nuclear plant. Really Sneeds seed and feed (formerly Chuck's) and the tomacco are the only good things to come out of that episode
Ikr? why bother calling it universal studios anymore when the only thing from universal is Jurassic world and the Halloween horror nights? Jaws Amity island? Replaced by Harry Potter back to the future? Now a Simpsons ride. Ik they're have been non universal related rides and attractions since day one but theres always been some variety...that and the universal film attractions have always been the center of attention.

If anything, I'd say the popularity of Sneed posting is a sign of a wider phenomenon where a lot of the post-Season 10/pre-Movie seasons are being given a second look and become far more appreciated by comparison. I've always held this view that Seasons 11-13 were a "Silver Age" that was actually good save for a few notorious episodes while Zombie Simpsons didn't truly begin until 2007 or so.
I've noticed this view is becoming more of a thing as time goes on and it's not just the bearded eggs who consoom product with this stance either. The bearded bugmen are far more likely to unironically enjoy Zombie Simpsons.
For me, simply not being as good as Seasons 1-10 were isn't enough to be Zombie Simpsons on its own, but instead it's when The Simpsons truly becomes unwatchable on all ends. Seasons 11-13 are still fairly enjoyable to me despite the purist sperging even if the Golden Age episodes are better.
Really, the show doesn't truly get to a point where the bad episodes fully outweighs the good ones until Season 18, the last pre-movie season. Seasons 14-17 are a weird era where most of the episodes actually aren't bad or good and are more "meh" overall.
I'd say the Silver Age was good because Mike Scully was a far better showrunner than Al Jean and Seasons 11-15 in general had enough writers from the old Golden Age seasons on the staff to counter-balance the worst of Al Jean's influence.
John Swartzwelder didn't fully drop out until halfway through Season 15's original run and IIRC there were two other 90's era writers who stayed on board until around Season 16 or so.

The saddest part is that I think Al Jean himself was probably planning Season 32 to be the final season and figured they could autopilot their way through Seasons 30 and 31 and most of Season 32 and just put it all into some series finale that pulls a Dark Tower and the final scene shows the family leaving to see the school's Christmas program from the first episode.
I remember in the early-mid 2010's there was a lot of discussion about how Season 30 could be the last season and that Al Jean and the other producers would do an internal referendum about whether they should continue or not. Then at the last second before Season 30 premiered, they announced they renewed it for two more seasons (probably to give them more time to properly plan some kind of send-off) but then the Disney buyout happened.
Everything Disney touches pretty much goes to shit, and The Simpsons had already been in full Zombie mode since 2008 at the absolute latest. Bob Iger apparently had plans for The Simpsons since he made sure to spend the extra money to fast-track any contract or copyright procedures so The Simpsons would be available for Disney+ when it launched. He wouldn't even do that for the X-Men and Marvel is the powerhouse locomotive that's been pulling The Rat's gravy train.
The only reason why the X-Men cartoon was available on Disney+ at launch is because Disney owns the rights to it already thanks to the Fox Family buyout in 2001 (and the ABC Family brand launching the next year) since that deal also gave them the Fox Kids library and the distribution rights for Digimon and Power Rangers for most of the 2000's.
Iger had plans for The Simpsons and he's a megalomaniac who gleefully supports the mindset of intentionally alienating the fanbase.
My best guess for Disney making sure The Simpsons was all sorted out and good to go before any other Fox property is because having the classic episodes of The Simpsons available on a proper streaming service for the first time is a huge draw in and of itself, the kind of thing that can get people who otherwise wouldn't think of subscribing to Disney+ to sign up.
Iger will be out in 2021 and Corona has taken a bat to Disney's finances. If Bob Chapek has any sense at all on self-preservation, he'll probably do a full 180 on some of The Rat's more odious 2010's era policies to avoid being seen as Eisner 2.0.
Star Wars is pretty much done for as a brand unless they decide to officially declare the sequel trilogy non-canon and release the theatrical cuts of the Original Trilogy on Blu-Ray and Disney+ and Marvel is running on fumes at this point unless X-Men can give them a last-minute second wind before the MCU crashes and burns.
That leaves The Simpsons as the one brand that has fallen but could be redeemed if Chapek is smart and decides to do the most un-Disney thing out there: Give the fans what they actually want and end the show, but end it on as high of a note as you can get.
I've said this before, but what they should do is make Season 33 the official final season and do a segmented release for Disney+ where the episodes are uploaded once a week to help build up the finale. Have a big advertising blitz and try to hire as many of the old writers as possible for one last hurrah and fire Al Jean as the showrunner. Put Stark Raving Dad back in rotation or at least on a Blu-Ray box set series since the Finding Neverland controversy is pretty much over and done with. I'd even bring back Apu for the final season complete with Hank Azaria voicing him since the BLM controversies will likely be over with by 2021 for a variety of reasons.
Just go all out with it because this would be well worth the investment for Disney and ensure Chapek would be seen as something other than Iger's fall guy. Do a simulcast of the series finale on Fox, FX, FXX, Freeform, ABC, and maybe A&E. Something as big as The Simpsons series finale is going to attract a lot of viewers even with Zombie Simpsons taken into account and if Disney goes above and beyond to win back the fans for the final season, it will pay off massively.
Even if they just bring back the good writers for the series finale and the Treehouse of Horror episode while putting Stark Raving Dad back in rotation (or do an uncensored Blu-Ray boxed set series) but letting the rest of Season 33 be typical Zombie Simpsons crap, it could be worth it.
Hell, I'd make the final Treehouse of Horror an hour-long special as well and even bring back the wrap-around segments, the tombstones in the opening sequence, and Lisa giving the disclaimer at the beginning. Marge may have been the one who usually gave the warning but Kavner is near her end anyway and you could make it like Marge passed the torch to Lisa. It'd also work on sort of a meta level since early Marge was more of a conservative-adjacent Karen while Lisa in the Zombie Simpsons years became an SJW.

There's still the E.T. ride, but you're right, there's almost no "Universal Studios" at Universal Studio's own theme parks these days.

dude bobservo's been churning out totally hilarious, hip, and self-deprecating front page articles for something awful since 2006(!!). and i fucking bet he was bitching on twitter after finding out that lowtax the toesucker socked his latest cokewhore trophy gf in the jaw, ralph kramden style, acting as if this was something that nobody affiliated with sa in the last 20 years was even remotely aware of. this should be obvious to any deranged autists like me willing to waste 5 minutes googling washed up goons
there's a surprisingly large number of simps podcasts clinging onto relevancy in [current year], actually - i remember seeing round springfield being shilled a few months ago (btw that episode blows steamy asschunks) and a few seem to be reliably landing interviews with current and former staff members, although it's not like they've gone anywhere in 2 decades
and if the trump shorts didn't already spell it out for you in 420px comic sans, virtually every single staff member who has worked on the simpsons at any point in time is an insufferably smug, hypocritical neolib. swartzwelder was an eccentric libertarian and there may have been a few anti-authoritarian 60s hippies like george meyer on staff, but there aren't many other exceptions (wes archer, maybe?). most of the full-time writers in the 90s were either generic jewish la screenwriters or trust fundie ivy league wasps, sometimes both, and i genuinely believe it is an absolute fucking miracle the first 8 or so seasons turned out as well as they did, considering a good deal of the people who worked on them turned out to be complete hacks. for instance, bill oakley and yeardley smith threw a bitchfit on twitter a few months ago when mike pompeo dared to post one simpsons gif. they're both in their mid 50s and bill's been guzzling down fast food on twitter for the last couple of years, sooo (no mukbang channel, unfortunately)
most older simpsons fans tend to be either neolibs or insufferable far-left goons too, but i have to take a fat shit so this spergy tangent is over
seasons 1-8 are classic, the scully/sneed era (seasons 9-12) is distinct enough to be its own thing, and the dictator jean era (season 13-forever) is zombie simpsons. this is my hill and i'm dying on it.
you'll also be pleasantly displeased to discover that a few classic era writers have actually been returning to the show as of late - swartzwelder and meyer are mia, but david x cohen (seasons 6-10, futurama co-creator) and nell scovell (freelancer, wrote the blowfish episode in season 2) both submitted scripts for season 32. jeff martin's also been cranking out new episodes for the last few seasons and as far as i can tell, all of them fucking suck. tl;dr: a writing credit on the simpsons doesn't mean shit - scripts always get overhauled by the writing room to some extent, and when the entire writing room is staffed with corrupt hollywood zombies like matt selman, everything turns out like thin watery gruel
(also, justinboy over here and a few other kids have pestered al jean for simpsons script info on twitter for the last few years and he replies almost every single time. it's beautiful)

1999 is considered "zombie Simpsons" era? I definitely don't agree with that, keep in mind I'm not an expert and haven't seen even close to every episode, but it seems pretty clear to me that the zombie era doesn't really started until maybe 2002 or 2003.

It was certainly the beginning of the end given that Season 11 gave us a lot of "timeless" episodes that featured stuff like Sneed, Maude's death, a Florida that jails and attempts to kill tourists if they accidentally kill an aligator and Marge becoming a paranoid loon.

Saddlesore Galactica was the true point of no return for the show, it could never be good again after an episode like that
