i just saw the simpsons and they had a diss on south park they do this a lot

they had this joke once about all these homer simpson clones and in the crowd was peter from the family guy

and then they had this joke about how boring king of the hill is

this sounds to me like they think all cartoons are rip offs of them

thats walking into howard stern territory, that whole thing about anyone else doing something in the same genra is a ripoff and a threat

I see most Simpsons dissing as playful. I don't think it has to be playful to be funny- some of the less affectionate stuff, like South Park or Strangers with Candy, has me rolling on the ground with laughter. But in the case of The Simpsons, it always seems like more of a wry, slightly sarcastic observation than a vicious put-down.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

its coming across as being petty

did you see the king of the hill joke

the bunch line was "this is boring"

a word i would never use to describe king of the hill , i have however used that a lot of times on the simpsons post 1997

i dunno i see it as petty on their part, to say that peter from the family guy was a homer simpons clone

how is he like homer ? because they are both fat and kind of out of there


its petty

The importance of the simpsons seems to be at the beginning they were doing what south park is doing now; being very edgy but yet completely smart. It felt like something new but simpsons has stepped back in really trying to push it and south park is by far the funniest show on tv now. Even if simpsons did poke fun at south park, Matt Groening calls the creators of South Park "demented geniuses".

I believe that both The Family Guy and [definitely] King Of The Hill were produced by the same people as The Simpsons. So, technically, these playful jabs are like The Flintones Meet The Jetsons stuff, you know what I mean? The Simpsons aren't on a power trip, the producers are having fun being producers.

Anyhow, The Simpsons are no longer a satire, but a cartoon. If you get my drift. That is why South Park and the likes are funnier now.

i like the episode of south park where butters is trying to come up with an evil plan to destroy the earth and his evil henchman keeps telling him that the simpsons already did it. that was pure gold!

Okay, the South Park parody was sort of obvious, but I still laughed. And I really laughed at the PAX parody, as well as the faintly disturbing parody of the famous Annie Liebovitz photo.

It may not be as "edgy" as it once seemed, but it still makes me laugh.

It was tonight's episode. A literal parody, where the kids are watching it.

Later, Bart says, "Boys will be boys," and Marge says in an irritated tone, "I am so tired of that tautology!"

I still say this show is just hilarious and very well-written when it's "on."

They preceeded the jab at South Park with one about The Simpsons themselves.

Millhouse and Bart are watching South Park:

M: "I hear they really have adults doing the kids voices."

B: "I don't care. I just wanna know how they keep it fresh after so many episodes."


The parody of The Beatles memorabilia was great. Even Homer knows Michael Jackson owns their songs.
