How do you feel about the recent episode killing off iconic simpsons character Larry?And don't say that Sam is better, Sam fucking sucks
>>143322931I wish they'd killed all of them off and the show about 15 years ago.
>>143322931I never knew this guy's name. What about the other guy that sits with him?
how'd he die
>>143323053https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Sam
>>143322938more like 25 years ago
>>143323111I'm feeling generous atm
>>143323089Sitting at Moe's
>>143323161Probably how he'd want to go
>>143322931this is almost as heart breaking as when they killed krusty's dad
I find it really weird that they occasionally kill off characters but never replace them.The bigger issue is the whole Lenny, Karl being childhood buds with Homer and Moe and his patrons being best buddies.
>>143322931he'll probably be back next weekthe simpsons have always been hit or miss with continuity but at this point it seems like they despise it
THEY DID WHAT
>>143322931How did he die ?
Sam had a more interesting design
>>143324069He just kinda did, they didn’t really get into it.
>tertiary character dies prompting main characters to contemplate their relationship, as well as death, in a lighthearted mannerkino!>halfway through becomes about the mob hiding gems in the urn and it's all forced unfunny confusing bullshitgoddamn zombie simpsons
>>143322931I love how Zombie Simpsons is finally making permanent chancges to the cast>Willie Married>Comic Book Guy Married>Gil Married>Larry Dead>Krusty's father deadIt's subtle changes like that I like, I'm just waiting now until they finally confirm Bart and Sophie ending up together as husband and wife
>>143324881I wonder how long before The Simpsons hops on the continuity bandwagon and starts having season-long story arcs. Even South Park did it for a while, though they seem to have backed off as the TV show now feels like they're just pumping them out for contractual reasons and focusing more on the specials.
>>143322931Damn... He was there since the very beginning.
I'm honestly surprised it took this long for Sam or Larry to get a spotlight. I thought they would have run out of ideas long ago and resorted to it earlier
i wonder if they'll bring in his identical cousin like fat tony
>>143325129>one of them finally gets the spotlight>diesThose cold bastards.

>>143325188fuckskip to 4:53 to get my joke
>Lawrence "Larry" Dalrymplegetting real Larry Dies And Doesn't Come Back energy from that name.
>>143324548Yeah, they aways shit the bed with their second acts.
>>143324548>>143325651>Guy who they never talked to is revealed to consider them the best friends he ever had>Entire episode wondering how they can deal with the guilty of gnoring a man for his entire lifetime>The big twist is he never wanted anything more out of his life and was perfectly content with just being there with them never really standing out > Being that he was a lonely depressed criminal, he was most likely just happy to be part of a group who was uninterested in knowning anything about him There is definitely a amazing episode hidden in there, shame that it most likely got butchered in the writing process to fill the time slot. Also, i'm kinda tired of these episodes trying to make Homer, Moe, Larry and Carl into Peter Griffin and his friends while telling the exact story over and over about how "Adult man don't have real close friends"Also, did they forget that both Lenny and Carl are buddhists?
>>143322931When push came to shove Sam stepped up.
Was Barney in the episode at all?
Super fucking unnecessary. Like that time the writers killed off Krusty's father for ratings except this time they managed to sink even lower with this trap.
>>143325846>Also, did they forget that both Lenny and Carl are buddhists?The more they forget about things like that the better the show becomes
>>143324881>finallyAnon, Clown in the Dumps was almost 10 years ago.People really underestimate how long Zombie Simpsons has been going for.
>>143326026Busy doing charity work in the world, they keep looking for excuses to no include him in this new format of "Homer and his friends" episodes
>>143326196doing charity work in the third world*
>>143322931Honestly? I think I would have preferred it if someone in the writer's room thought "Hey, this character has been around forever and we've never done anything with him, let's flesh him out and see if we can make something interesting!", Instead of just going "LOOL, let's kill off a background character because nobody in real life will give a fuck!". It wasn't really that funny when South Park did it with Jason and it certainly is not funny when Simpsons does it a quarter century past it's prime.
Anyone know if the last couple Simpsons DVDs still had specially animated loops in the menus?
>>143326821Would he fuck all of them?
>>143322931Who
>>143322931Let me guess they replace him with some updated new guy who sticks out design wise pushing some agenda?
>>143328124Don't have a cow man
>>143328124NoWhy would they "replace" a background character that has no stablished role in the show??
>>143327501LARRY!
>>143322931He was alright, but he couldn't hold a candle to Chip Davis
>Maybe we should kiss, just to break the tension.
>>143326821>the monkey nurse from "Planet of the Apes: the Musical" becomes real>looks like she's a cutie pieFuck!
oh margie~
>>143324881>Gil Married Really?
"Kids, turn off the TV. I've got some bad news about Larry."
why is he like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSXmOUwAAVo
>>143328867I'm a big fan of how the characters looked in the 2D cutscenes. It's not quite like the movie and not quite like the show was at the time.
>>143322931First apu and now this?! They're killing my cultural identity!
>Marge in the imageForeshadowing that eventually it will happen?
>>143329346ay caramba
Where's Moe's old lady and howcome she ain't never mentioned no more?
>>143329405post the sneed version
>>143329444cute feet
>>143329346Oh it couldn't be the pointless side character, it mustn't be the pointless side character!
>>143322931I wish they had done fucking anything with Sam and/or Larry beforehand so the audience would have a reason to give a shit, even Rabbi Krustofsky had that going for him when he croaked.
>>143329346I REALLY like it whenever Marge dresses all fancy with earrings and everything
>>143322931>Sam fucking sucks Did Groening start this thread?
>>143325846I was honestly waiting for the reveal to be that the granny and the fake sheriff were using them to smuggle gems and not just randomly making it a fat tony thing.
>>143324881>I love how Zombie Simpsons is finally making permanent chancges to the castAnon Moe got married and they've already dropped that a few episodes later. I get that they can't have Moe be happy because it ruins his whole zombie persona but at least acknowledge he wanted the money to get her something and not just pay debts.
>>143326196>Busy doing charity work in the world, they keep looking for excuses to no include him in this new format of "Homer and his friends" episodesI thought it was so they could use shots of Homer & Co at the funeral without Barney to tease they were going to kill Barney off since the synopsis came out everyone assumed that's what the episode was going to be about.
>>143322931It was unironically an enjoyable episode, some genuinely funny moments here and there too. And I'm surprised Harry Shearer can still do the Lenny voice. The guy's getting up there
>>143329589Actually he stayed married to that one. I know this because I remain jealous that this cartoon character found a hot midget who loves him.
>>143328387Look at all that copy and paste
>>143323633Didn't they brought him back? I remember they brought back Maude Flanders as a ghost on a regular non Halloween episode, but it has been years since I last watched this shitshow
>>143324881You forgot that Sideshow Bob decided not to kill Bart anymore, saved him and went on to live on a light house hiding from the police and dating another woman after his wife left him, they even show him still on that light house as an old man
>"wow guys, isn't it cool The Simpsons is finally making big changes to its cast!?>it's just random background characters dying or getting marriedWhat this should tell you is that the writers are getting old.And when you get old, the only time you see all your old friends together are at weddings or funerals.Also it's fucking stupid that they retconned Moe into never having gambled before.Oh right, Larry.Umm....They could've done something more to pull at the heartstrings about loneliness, or had the gang reach out to the other barfly as a bit of finality to show that they're gonna try to change for the better.Standard 5/10 nuSimpsons episode - not a single funny joke.
>>143324881didn't they kill Dr. Nick in the Simpsons Movie? Did that get retconned?
>>143330681Yeah, he "died" but came back later, so he didn't die, he survived.
>>143324881Not really watching Simpsons anymore, stopped after Season 18, but they really could use more girls in the cast.
>>143322931>Sam fucking sucksSo Sam fucks and sucks?
>>143327482Do you mean when they had a group of characters interact with each other? (because they stopped doing that after season 15)>>143328162Sam needs company
>>143330817and didn't Ol' Gil get gunned down in a bank robbery or something?
>>143329444>Midge
>>143329346They'd only pull that if Julie herself died or they had to try and distract from one of their main crewmembers getting MeToo'd
>>143330400>I remember they brought back Maude Flanders as a ghost on a regular non Halloween episodethey did what?
>>143330912god i wish
>>143330681they should have killed Hibbit instead i never liked him
>>143328387>massive cheekbone>more than 1 colour for clothes>100 lines to make up clothing in an animated medium>HE HAS AN OVERBITE SO THAT MAKES IT OKAYI fucking hate it. Why did this become the standard in the show around the time the writing and animation quality died?>>143328867>the world I grew up in is goneYeah, about that World Trade Center...The game is funnier than I remember.>>143328933It wasn't half bad.
>>143329617I wonder if they were but decided not to at the last second. Like when was the last time he was relevant or had any lines?
>>143326821>"Hey, this character has been around forever and we've never done anything with him, let's flesh him out and see if we can make something interesting!"To be fair, South Park did that with Bradley Biggle
>>143329346Marge dying would kill the show beyond repair. And I don't mean creatively kill it, obviously it's been zombified for years, I mean the concept would cease to function. How do you have the Simpsons family go on wacky hijinks if Marge is dead? It would be way too sad, her absence would be noticed in every scene. They will definitely just replace her (which could still piss off the normies still watching, but is preferable to the alternative from the showrunners' POV).
>>143329346Honestly I feel like Julie Kavner and Harry Shearer won't be the one of the first ones to die, I feel like it may be Nancy Cartwright, as she looks and acts so unhealthy. I guess Dead Bort is a prophecy all this time
Don't worry, we've still got the other Larry
>>143332863I don't like the idea of Moe's having two Larrys in one day.
>>143326821I would EVE until her circuits fry
>>143322931>>143329589But Moe got rich at the end of the episode
>>143331477I wonder what mea culpa plot they'll write to prove they didn't hate Bart
>>143333423Those overbites they tack onto pop culture icons in an effort to depict them "in the Groening style" always looks so stupid, but WOULD.
>>143326821Fith element reference.
>>143333533Honestly at this point I can’t see them retiring the characters out of respect like they they used to. Russi Taylors Death shows that the modern Simpson staff have no sense of shame and integrity anymore
