Usually I like The Simpson's because unlike Family Guy, it doesn't go heavy on adult humor. but in this episode, the adult humor turned into a Glee episode. First it showed injuries. Then when Comic Book Guy tells Bart and Lisa about Bart's sword shaped scar, it turns into a Jackass episode only with panic. If you think this is too much for a Simpson episode, you should see the ending of the episode after Marge breaks up with The Cool Moms, they revealed to be secretly GAY and showed, um, if you saw the Glee episode Duets, you know what I mean. Besides the inappropriate stuff, the episode was funny and good just don't let us see anymore on screen homosexuality.

Dear Matt Groening ..

Dear Matt Groening,
I've enjoyed The Simpsons since as long as I can remember. But lately it seems that there's a new sheriff in the vast land that is Simpsons country. New episodes lack humor, depth and seem to been put together in a hurry - or maybe stories are being used that didn't make the cut the first time around. And this particular episode just offended me - with the whole Ralph-was-dropped-on-his-head-when-he-was-a-baby: c'mon now, that's not funny - that's just terrible (especially the look on Wiggums face when he dropped him). I know it's just a cartoon, it's not real or anything, but this kind of 'humor' is beneath what the Simpsons (to me) is all about. I don't know, maybe I'm just complaining about nothing, maybe I'm just getting too old for the show or whatever and I should just stop watching. And that would be too bad, 'cause The Simpsons were (are?) just awesome.
Thanks for many years of animation at it's finest.

Good but the storyline was a little dry,

Surprisingly gross

Of the near two decades of Simpsons episodes, this one I found shocking. I wasn't offended, and it wasn't particularly good, but they did a whole lot of jokes that I'd think are pretty not TV-PG, and even aside from that, were pretty gross and tasteless.
Probably one of the most cringe-inducing was Homer talking to Moe on Skype, and the joke being that the connection seemingly froze, but Moe saying his Bells Palsy is acting up, then pretends to have Bells Palsy. Others include the kids skateboarding out of a treehouse, crashing to the ground, and one of them saying "Check out my gnarly backwards foot" showing his broken foot, twisted backwards. Another has Cletus eating fire embers from fireworks, baby Ralph being dropped on his head, Lisa being disconcerted for being inside the comic book shop due to a prop of a scantily clad woman chained to a moving boulder.

Dear Lord, modern Simpsons episodes are beyond awful
Rectangular_businessman17 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Amazing how a 6 second scene managed to encapsulate how terrible modern Simpsons episodes are.
I'm talking, of course, of the utterly "hilarious" scene where a baby Ralph Wiggum was dropped on his head by his dad. What an unexpected, shocking reveal that surely changes everything I thought I knew about these characters.
Sarcasm aside, that stupid throwaway joke, besides being totally unfunny, puerile and basic (Jokes about characters being weird because they were dropped as babies were done even in cartoons for children, such as Rugrats All Grown Up or The Amazing World of Gumball) is a total character assasination for Chief Wiggum.
Chief Wiggum might be dumb, incompetent, lazy and corrupt, but early episodes emphasized he was a good, loving father, being that perhaps his only positive trait.
Making him drop Ralph and then acting like nothing happened just turn Chief Wiggum into a clone of Homer Simpson at his worst. Characters no longer act or even resemble themselves, they are just a empty vehicle for vapid, unfunny jokes and shallow cultural references.
Modern Simpson has been in autopilot mode for a long time, but it always manages to surprise me how utterly awful (and sometimes even spiteful) it can get.
This just needed a few seconds to show the kind of trash modern Simpson has become. No wonder so many old fans dropped the series and never came back to it, considering the kind of stuff they are doing to once beloved, fun characters.
0/10 (and I would rate with a negative score if I could)
