What's not to get? At a time when family sitcoms were saccharine and aimed at the youngest and oldest possible demographics at the same time, like Full House and Family Ties, the Simpsons used the fact it was a cartoon to present the world with a retarded alcoholic man, his codependent wife, his delinquent victim of child abuse son, and his neurotic, victim by proxy, daughter. If The Simpsons don't seem unique now, it's because its soaked into the cultural foundation of American television, and everything has a little Simpsons in it ever since.
Yeah thats my entire point. The Simpsons isn’t special because I grew up in a time where everything was influenced by it. All of the supposedly “golden age” seasons are filled with references I don’t get because I wasn’t born 20 years ago. So when anyone tells me “Bro the Simpsons is one of the best shows ever!” i can just tell they’re an oldhead.
The apparent lack of curiosity about things you don't already know is baffling and disturbing to me. I would ask my parents if I didn't understand a reference, if they didn't know they'd help me look it up. Maybe I'm the weird one, it's hard to tell most of the time.
Carlin I get but Dick Pryor ( I know him ) was funny as fuck
I fuuuuuuuuuuucking hate Manual Transmission faggots who have to let everyone know they drive manual aka 90% of them.
Well obviously I get the references. Haha, Homer and Gerald Ford are good friends because they’re both clumsy and like football! But Gerald Ford was President almost 50 years ago. I can get it but not in a way where i’d find humor in it, if that makes sense.
And they love being the driver to make a point about how no one else can drive their car
Its all bragging rights until they get too fucked up to drive home and literally none of their friends know how to drive the damn car.
