Since Sneed paved the way for Silver Age episodes to be used in these memes, might I suggest Princess Tempura as the next random spergy Simpsons meme?

Can't seem to find any clips on YouTube except this one in Spanish.

This always seemed more like a weird 90's cartoon than an anime parody. But that's just me.

I mean, that can probably be chalked up to it being written by literal Boomers. Princess Tempura does sort of resemble Motoko Kusanagi (or more accurately, the dollar store knock-off version) but overall, it feels more like a Power Rangers spoof.
 
After seeing those clips, this promo poster feels even more disturbing.

That clip was litteraly what everybody over 17 thought anime was like in the 90s

Ironically now it could at best only apply to boomers since the anime veiwerbase age has gone up AMD continues to go up.

I also see a bit of Tomy wind-ups in this!
 
"Lisa, you're probably the sax-iest women I've ever met outside of Liverpool, so get down there and rock my worl-."

"Sir, why don't you take a seat right over there?"

"R-Relax yankee! I'm just imaginary! Nothing dodgy here mate! I swear on me imaginary mum!"

"Sir, we're all imaginary yellow cartoon people made by some 67 year old boomer hack. Now I insist you take a seat right over there... while the little girl sits on my lap..."

"Okay 'imaginary' grown men in a little girl's room, how about we all 'pretend' that we're going for a drive?"

Seriously though, I think this episode only further shows how really out of touch the writers are. I mean they've always been, but Lisa's ideal fantasy man (for an 8 year old) is some vague parody of an 80s brit rock singer most little kids even in the 90s hardly even knew about. Lisa's character really is just the ideal fantasy girl for a bunch of creepy xoomer writers. Also what are the odds that they originally wrote the guy to actually be real before Disney/Fox/whatever told them to make him imaginary to be less creepy?

Unsurprisingly, the guy who wrote this episode was also the one who wrote Lisa Goes Gaga.
 
I'll say that if there's some random dialog about Lisa questioning why he's not conservative like he is in modern times and then he responds about "I'm also old and bald in modern times, you get what you imagine" then it won't be a total wash
 
Whelp, watched the episode and there's a few things I got to say about it:
- Imaginary friend or not, Cumberbitch's role was pointless and unneeded. I mean I guess props to making him the anti-Paul McCartney in the end, but it's still a sucky plot. Even the scene where Lisa finally talks back to Largo felt, dare I say, mean-spirited?
- We got an extended bit with KMR as Hibbert. As expected, it sucks a big one. He's not even trying to hide his trademark baritone. At least Carl's substitute makes an attempt to sound similar to Hank, even if it can't be sustained for more than one or two short lines.
- Homer becomes a truck guy, the plot is just as pointless and stupid as the Lisa plot, and comes off as a retread of Screaming Yellow Honkers from Season 10. And it ends just as pointlessly with Homer passing out on PB&J sandwiches.
- We find out Marge is only with Homer as a "Fine, fuck you mom!" moment at the end of the episode. I don't know how to feel about that one.
If nothing else, I will say the animation actually does show some bits of fluidity at points. Then again, the recent episodes by AKOM seem to be of higher quality than those of Rough Draft's in general.
 
Moz isn't happy either...

Morrissey Calls Out ‘Racist’ The Simpsons

Morrissey has just posted on his Facebook page about The Simpsons' new episode: Surprising what a “turn for the worst"
britpopnews.com britpopnews.com

EDIT: Just watched it.

Let's start with the good:
-The Music did sound Smiths-y and Benedict Cumberbatch does do a passable Moz singing voice.
-Couple of funny images (Marge banging her head against the wall on infrared, Martin becoming obsessed with Hall & Oates, Maggie running the fuck away when Marge said she was stressed)
-Bart starting an argument for his own entertainment.
-'Lisa doesn't like it when others talk' So true Ralph. So true...

The bad.
-The obvious. The reveal of modern day Quilloughby is mean-spirited at best and outright insulting to Morrissey at worst and I hate that I predicted that they'd do that. You know Cumbertwat probably ad-libbed half of that the lefty bedwetter scum.
-Speaking of, Quilloughby's meant to be from Manchester, yet he talks like Ringo Starr. Benedict was wrong anyway, plus he's a Londoner and not getting a Mancunian actor to play your Morrissey attack job? Bit culturally insensitive there don't you think?
-The pillow fight scene gave me seriously bad vibes.
-Julie Kavner needs to drop dead if she isn't going to retire.
-Marge is now only with Homer to spite her mum?
-Lisa episode

Whenever I think about The Simpsons, my mind always seems to wander to that episode where Homer reunites with his mom. Such a feel-good episode.

Also "DAMN YOU, WALT WHITMAN!"
