Is it just me or are there less frames than normal.
Holy shit the frozen thing was forced. Just because you acknowledge it's pointless doesn't make it any less pointless.
[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;46663091]Holy shit the frozen thing was forced. Just because you acknowledge it's pointless doesn't make it any less pointless.[/QUOTE] I think that was the joke.
That was god awful, usually they put more effort in the animation of the couch gags than the actual episodes but this was just episode-quality stiff boring animation
It really makes me sad to see what the Simpsons has become. Remember when things weren't just tweened to hell, or when the episodes were good and the jokes were funny?
Its obvious they are trying to get the show cancelled so they can bring back Futurama in it's time slot. To be real, The Simpsons might have gotten really bad these past few years, at least it is still better then Family Guy. Even if a majority of the episodes revolve around Lisa for some reason.

Otto smoking the candy cane was pretty funny.

Homer didn't even move when he went "D'oh" as Bart hit the snowmobile.

I think the screen was the only part of the gag I laughed at.

Remember when things weren't just tweened to hell, or when the episodes were good and the jokes were funny?[/QUOTE] you might want to redefine your definition of "tween" because a lot of this, if not all the frames were hand animated, however the animations were just stiff and didn't have a lot of frames or fluidity. also the whole comedy thing is incredibly subjective, i still enjoy the comedy, though the episodes nowadays kinda lost their touch a bit. not awful by any means.
God damn it looks stiff and mechanical nowadays.
[QUOTE=Xonax;46663085]Is it just me or are there less frames than normal.[/QUOTE] By 2030, the Simpsons will consist of a slideshow with the remaining actors talking to each other, assuming enough are still around.
[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;46663091]Holy shit the frozen thing was forced. Just because you acknowledge it's pointless doesn't make it any less pointless.[/QUOTE] I think you missed the point, the joke was that they were obligated to put in a Frozen reference, not the actual reference. Imo at least.
[QUOTE=Deng;46664658]By 2030, the Simpsons will consist of a slideshow with the remaining actors talking to each other, assuming enough are still around.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of that surreal animation with the couch gag in the far future where characters became jokes of themselves even more than they already were.
Title got my hopes up for some nightmare before christmas stop motion and now I feel empty after watching that

Meh.
Remember when the Simpsons wasn't about expensive yet pointless couch gags done for marketing purposes?
