Any Lisa story was always terrible, never liked her even as a kid

I stopped watching cartoons when I was in high school. I don't give a shit.

Thanks for the tip, Facebook.

Having one of the Beatles on was probably a huge deal back in boomer times so I get it, but yeah celebrity cameos are cringe as hell and nothing makes a show feel dated quite like them

eh it's been done

No problem, reddit.

They at least mocked them. I had no idea Ron Howard was an alcoholic until this.

You can see the degradation of how they draw celebrities in their three Beatles cameos.
Ringo looks like a native Simpson character. He’s recognizably Ringo, but he fits in with every other cartoon character.
Paul has more superfluous details. He stands out a bit. Even if you don’t know Paul McCartney, you can tell he’s a caricature of somebody real.
George just looks grotesque. He looks nothing like a Simpson character at all. The skin color, the details. Everything is wrong.

What did you move onto?

>Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney agreed to lend their voices to this episode on the condition that Lisa remained a vegetarian throughout the rest of the series.
fucking cunts

George Harrison appeared in Season 5 and Paul was in Season 7

>veganism is morally right and Buddhism is like super peaceful and deep.

Name 2 more annoying progressive tropes that noone with a brain believes.
>>
>>218304197
season 7 while still very good was clarly the beginning of the decline.
Episodes like Bart Sells His Soul, Lisa the Vegetarian, Marge Be Not Proud, Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield , The Curse of Flying Hellfish, Homerpalooza or the one where Ned Flanders tries to baptize the Simpson kids really left a weird taste in the mouth to anyone who grew up watching the series during its best years.

Say what you want but they did quite a lot of jokes at his expense and he was obviously fine with it.
Lots of other guest stars seemingly weren't.

It was pretty clear Mel worked with the writers closely on that episode.
They included Three Stooges gags and him and Homer mooning people, both of which Mel is known to love.
>>
>>218304197
It really was. It was at this point the celebrity cameos had to be on the nose. The celebs got too much say in what they got to be and do on the show. Then later you had an episode where they're just sucking Alex Baldwin and Kim Bassinger's dick. Or Mel Gibsons, or whoever. Nothing like the cameos before. Tom Jones, Bob Hope, they didn't make a big of it and made fun of it.

To be fair, in Australia the aborigines people are horrifying.

>>218304197
People working on the show admitted they wanted to squeeze in as many opportunities as they could to meet their heroes.

>>218305371
yeah Ron's part was funny, Alec and Kim were pretty bland, though
>>
I wonder if Disney+ is going to purge all episodes with cameos of those who were in the Epstein files.
>>
>>218305656
Alec. His name is Alec Baldwin. You moronic little broccoli headed zoomie fuck.
>>
>>218304763
celebrity cameos are fine if they're making an ass of themselves. i like Mel Gibson's cameo. I absolutely hate Gervais cameo though.
>>
>>218304197
One of the greatest episodes

>>218305600
You can say the same about pretty much any of the "classic" seasons.
>>
>>218304197
I don't see how, considering Lisa worshipped the Beatles.
>>
>>218304197

i didn't know who they were

You're not american then

Simpsons caricatures are amazing at resembling their guest stars. Especially since simpsons characters consist of just a few lines on celluloid.
>>
>>218308892
The only cameos I like is when they aren't playing themselves, like that item Michael Jackson played that psych ward guy
>>
>>218309174
I always liked when actors played satires of themselves Dick Cavett's cameo will always be funny

>Dick Cavett
No idea who that fuck that is, which is the problem with cameos: A known person in the 1990s is unknown in the 2020s
>>
>>218309636
The scene is funny even if you don't know the guy. That's how cameos should be done.

>story with moral about not forcing your beliefs onto people.
>Paul was notorious for forcing vegetarianism on his whole crew.
