  • Fuck I am sick to GOD of the youtube ads being 10 times the volume of the youtube clip and busting my ear drums

  • In the 90s/early 2000s the Simpsons were amazing...........From 2005 onward they started sucking bad

  • But... notice something? Futurama's still funny.

    Maybe Groening doesn't even like it anymore.

  • @Underfootman I think a lot of the best Simpsons writers left for Futurama when it came around. And Futurama's premise just allows for a lot more variety.

  • Fox has Bill O'Reilly, Glee, Fringe and many aweful shows in my opinion. The only shows that make sence to me is House MD and The Simpsons; and out of those, only The Simpsons show stand out as an icon of great tv. And now it's going away due to Fox' demand. It is now comfirmed, Fox is the most idiotic network on the face of the planet.

    Hope a smarter network buys the rights and keep them on the air :p

  • @ProdigyBigBoss89, FOX News =/= FOX Broadcasting

    Know the difference.

  • @AstroWaldo No! Bill O'Reilly is so fat and stupid that he covers both :p

  • Hank Azaria does the voice of Apu and like one other character?

    What about Chief Wiggum? Professor Frink? Disco Stu? Comic Book Guy? Snake? Moe? Superintenant Calmers?

  • Hank Azaria does more like a dozen different characters in the show.

  • ALLAHU AKBAR! THIS MEANS JEEHAD!

  • that suck the simpsons been on tv since the 90s and they made more money then pokemon n yugioh and they been in the same network same style n i grew up watching them

  • These voice actors have more talent in their pinky fingers than the rest of you have in your fat asses... they deserve the big bucks.

    The rest of you quit complaining because you are talentless hacks.

  • @scorp8pus You're got to be kidding, so if someone is not born with the ability to project different or humorous voices that automatically makes them fat, talentless hacks. Better start telling the fat talentless hacks that helped to design the various appliances around your house how useless they are.

    Or you could quit with the arrogant presumptuous shit. Just a suggestion.

  • @RandomSnot

    LOL... jealous much?!

    You poor sad talentless hack.

  • Simpsons is awesome you can ALL GO TO HELL

  • @ahmed337799 dont have a cow mann.....

    BURY IT

  • @TheGonzaPoker

    what i don't understand what is this you are saying to me?

  • The Simpsons has been replaced by Family Guy and American Dad. They had a long run, but nothing lasts forever.

  • @MaggieLovesJimmy both of those shows suck ass. the simpsons had 8 great seasons, family guy had 2 good seasons, american dad sucks ass. TV is shit, let it die.

  • Network channels are nothing but reality shows, talk shows, and shitty sitcoms. I haven't gone that low on my channel list for over a decade. Problem is cable/sat channels are cramming in more and more reality shows too and it's driving me nuts. No I don't want to see the drama of a father and son in the logging industry.

  • The best thing to come out of the whole Simpsons' franchise was the arcade fighting game Konami released in 1991. It was all the rage back in the day.

  • 4 million dollars a season for reading lines.. really?.. I've been working for 20 or so years of my life and I doubt very much I will earn that 4 million dollars total by the time I retire.. :O(

    The show has lost popularity. So, if I were one of the voice actors and I was presented with the option of $4,000,000 or $0 a year.. I would stay with the 4 million thank you..

  • It would bring in ratings if they would make it so you could actually view more than 3 episodes on Hulu... why not air full seasons on Youtube, Hulu, Netflix, etc.. and just make it ad supported. Cable TV is a dying medium as the Internet takes over... there really is no reason why they can't adapt... many shows do and are thriving... Fox is just being stubborn, they are doing the same thing with Futurama and it too will likely be cancelled again for the same stupidity of Fox.

  • WHAT?? Fox makes South Park? I won't watch that either then!

  • @winterstellar No. Fox doesn't make South Park. Comedy Central along with partners do. There are a few Fox people involved with the show though, but Fox doesn't control it like they do the Simpsons.

  • @RavenousSky aaaah, THANK YOU! I can still watch South Park!

  • I haven't watched Simpson's since the first episode of South Park I watched. There was no competition there, South Park was a zillion times better.: )

  • I haven't watched the Simpsons for ages. It's no where near what it used to be.

  • It should have ended earlier, I like the show but they're running of storylines and topics.

  • All good things come to an end.

  • 22m down to 7m viewers, shouldn't that equate to a 66% pay cut?

  • I will miss the simpsons...Been watching that show since i saw a a baby...Oh well, had an amazing run.

  • When the actors take a pay cut - then the executives take a pay raise - all to it!!!

  • They should do like South Park. Two voice actors for the entire show (who happen to be the creators) and get a bunch of kindergarten children to do the animation, include lots of profanity and people with love it!

  • They had an AMAZING run and this show made the Fox network! Without them, there is no Family Guy, South Park or whatever else you want to name.

  • Who cares? I'm 19, the Simpsons has been on longer than I've been alive! That's a pretty damn good run.

  • The makers of the Simpsons are a part of the 1%

  • shit i wanna be a voice actor how do i do that?

  • We are leaving for Family Guy

  • One of the actors is a shit stain insane Scientology dog fucking criminal.

  • The problem is they keep on putting on guest stars. I think they severely bring down the quality of the show.

  • its still a good show sometimes but it like everything else these days its hit and miss with a shitload of missing.last years christmas episode was damn good.....

  • family guy ftw

  • you know what i miss, i miss how the simpsons used to have a shit ton of pranks in it, now they are like stories. wheres the prank calls to moe, wheres the squirting ketchup off a bridge onto cars. wheres the mayonnaise in homers shoe.

  • haven't watched this show in years

  • its not funny anymore anyway.

  • simpsons have fallen with the writing, it turns out people tune out when you try to lecture them...

  • Contrary to Cenks typical blathering, there is no right or wrong here.

    The actors and production company made a fair compromse, but the show still wasn't profitable so it will probably end. Big deal.

    It's not like we're exterminating a colony of unicorns. It's just a show.

    I'll grant that the show had an incredible run and changed the course of animation, but it is still just a show.

    If it ends, it ends. We don't need to demonize anyone about it.

  • I can't believe it is still on air.

  • The show is dead! These shows can only run so long before they become banal and run out of ideas. This is long over-due

  • Finally, seriously the simpsons stopped being funny after the first decade of the same recycle bullshit.

  • Also, let's be honest, the Simpsons really started to get bad around season 10. They just stopped trying.

  • Comment removed

  • Wait! What!!! Fox wants people to take a pay cut??? They want free enterprisers who sell their services to take a pay cut??? WTF!!! I thought Fox was all for free enterprise and capitalism?

    Bloody commie socialists FOX!

  • Stewie: The guy who watched The Simpsons back in 1994. And won't admit the damn thing isn't funny any more. Still, I love The Simpsons.

  • Fuck anyone who makes 8 million dollars a year.

    Fuck the entertainment industry.

  • @lupocephalic yeahhh, fuck anybody who makes good money.

  • @TheAlexJonesCult

    Fuck anyone who makes 8 million dollars a year and wants more.

    Fuck 'em. Parasites.

  • @lupocephalic Hey, why are you against people that work hard in the entertainment industry? It sounds like you’re envious of people that make a lot of money. This is sad because intellectual property and the people that this property employs make a lot of money. So, stop being jealous of other people’s success and make a mark of your own. I bet you if you made 8 million dollars a year, you wouldn't be complaining.

  • @Sonyfan2006

    That's quite right, If I was making 8 million dollars a year, I wouldn't be complaining, or (for instance) pushing to fine and jail people who want to share my songs with thier friends, or, (for another instance) going on strike for MORE money, fuckface.

  • @lupocephalic Fuck the poe-lease!

  • @lupocephalic I agree, but I'd rather see the the actors get it than the corporate executives who don't even entertain us or do anything useful.

  • @lupocephalic Are you a communist?

  • I hate people who say the show started to suck over 10 years ago. I think many of those people just idealize the past. The show is still funny, probably a little decline in the last couple years but their is still lots of funny parts. It's hard to make so many shows.

  • After the "Tomacco" episode nothing else could compare for me....

  • The Simpsons stopped being funny and relevant DECADES ago. No big loss.

  • @plastique45 completely agree

  • @plastique45 couldn't agree more

  • @plastique45 Decades ago? How old do you think the show is? The show didn't even start being funny until 5 or 10 years into it, when they developed a full writing staff and found their audience. The topical and historical references are still funny, and if you don't see that, you just don't get the joke.

  • @plastique45 Decades is an overstatement. The show has been lacking in the past decade, but not that far back.

  • @plastique45

    Decades ago? The show has only been on for 2 decades.

  • @dirtybunny987 it began running in 1989 and its currently 2012.... it's been on the air for 23 years, so yeah thats barely over two decades of seasons. Unless you're counting in terms of the number of calendar decades that the simpsons has ran in, in which case you'd have to include the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and this decade... which would be four. Over two decades either way

  • Who the fuck still watches The Simpsons anyway?!

  • @nugget147 I do, and I love it! It's "cool" to hate The Simpsons nowadays. If not you are critisized, but as long as it makes me laugh i will be fine with it. I own 13 Seasons on DVD and 1 on Blu-Ray, and yea I still love the show! I have homer slippers!

  • Simpsons went crap anyways.

  • As much of a fan as I am, I wouldn't be sad to see it go the only good episode in recent memory was the Christmas episode. It will always have a place in my heart :)

  • How do they make over a dollar on each viewer?

  • @weswii ~ it doesn't really break down that way, while those 20 million viewers were every week, the actors were making about $30,000 per episode in those years. just a fraction of the $500,000 they were making per episode in the last couple of years. most of the money is made from advertising and merchandise. they sold 750 million dollars in merchandise in 2008, and the 2007 movie grossed 527 million. the simpsons have made billions, the salaries are just a part of their enormous success.

  • New simpsons SUCKS!!!

  • I'll never understand how people can say other people should take a pay cut but if they were ask to they would say hell no not me.

  • they made... ~8 million a year for atleast afew years? .... Ok, seriously voice actors shouldn't make more money then some one who busts their ass day in/day out that's bearly making it. all because they got that stroke of luck with someone noticing them & voice talent.

    I'm not saying they should suffer in their life *far from it* but I am saying that they shouldn't be so rich they could use dollar bills to wipe their butt with.

  • *Chokes at how much they get paid*

    Maybe I'm stupid for believing those people should earn a little less, so that the people who actually work... well, I was about to say "work hard", but "actually work" suffices... earn just a touch more...

  • Mr. Smithers Is Gay! Lmaooo

  • @FranniePoohFrench Mr Smithers has always been gay. The new series is just less subtle about it.

  • 4 million a year would be a drastic change for me also...

  • Comment removed

  • And not a signal fuck was given

  • I didn't realise anyone even watched this show at all in this decade. 

  • @SuperFluffylicious Oh my gosh that is so funny. But wait, if no one is watching HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK IT'S STILL ON THE AIR ASSHOLE! I'm sorry, I'm not the biggest Simpsons fan but I hate when people say retarded things like you did.

  • @ManicRaider Wow. How terribly sad. Why do you feel the need to type your answer the way you did? Why the name calling? Why the swearing? Why do you have to use caps lock while trying to make a point? Did I make you that angry with one small comment it sent you into that much of a rage? Don't be sorry for not being the biggest fan, it's okay. I almost figured someone would come along and act so hateful, but 3 hours is pretty quick. Well, at least it's Friday. Try to have a happy day.

  • the Simpsons laughs per episode is now about 0.3 everything they could do has been done, put the tired old dog out of its misery

  • The Simpsons became irrelevant once Southpark hit town. Come to think of it, im finding family guy less and less funny also :( Southpark still remains the funnier of all of them. Don't get me wrong Simpsons fanbois. I used to love the show 12 years ago, but now it's just a laim horse that needs it's end.

  • They should have cancelled this show a long time ago... The old ones are classic and very funny.. But it is no longer the same show, and all they are doing now is prolonging something that is bound to happen.

  • How stupid! Fox will never be the same.

  • you're all such haters.. i loved the simpsons growing up and its still great.

  • Simpson suck already, to old N unfunny. - All the Seth MacFarlane Shows N South Park kick ass

  • Did you do something funny? "The Simpsons did it." NO HEY, SOUTH PARK DID "THE SIMPSONS DID IT" first!

  • Cancel this fucking show already. Seriously, the horse is a goddamned zombie now.

  • @maggosh Actually the episodes have picked up a lot. I think people just remember the early 00's when it sucked balls, but they changed a lot.

  • I hope cartoon network picks them up.

  • Probably gets more views in Australia then USA, we love it here.

  • FUCK THE SIMPSONS!!! LOST ALL CREATIVE INTEGRITY!!!

  • @1nfern0man thats you're opinion

  • @1nfern0man That's a bold statement, considering that the simpsons is now on its 23rd season and is the longest running show on TV. It's not that they lost their creativity, it's that everyone else copied them and their audience became bored with that kind of humor. Let's see you write 23 seasons of a show and make every episode creative and funny!

  • Good. The show stopped being cool back in '94 anyway.

  • Here's an idea. Put the entire Simpsons up on Fox dot com forever (no locks, you pricks) and make money off of the advertising you have there. Problem solved. Too bad Fox is a piece of shit starting with their news channel. You are too greedy Fox.

    Here's another solution: make a website and continue to make the show (web-exclusive) after the contract ends and make your own profits from your own advertising and use all of that money for production and employee wages. Fuck Fox.

  • Also forgot point out that as things get old that you enjoy most people look back and see the older things as better.

    Like an old person saying there youth best there best time when they might being living better now.

  • quality never has to change, because your get use to it or you yourself change to the humor. Thus it does seem to have gone done in quality, when it never has.

  • It stopped being funny in 1999.

  • the simpsons is too family friendly to be funny

  • R.I.P simpsons

  • I wonder what the Turks have to say after the truth come out that their opinions are wrong. The Turks have a bad habit of making shit up and passing it off as fact. Sound familiar? try Fox News. there is no difference anymore.

  • @assemblyguy How did they make anything up? At the time it was pretty much assumed by everyone that the Simpsons was getting cancelled. Now it has been renewed, they aren't denying this. But how can you compare them to Fox?

  • I've been playing so much Skyrim I forgot what TV was.

    Video killed the radio star...

    Video games killed the TV show...

  • @NeroJoe83 well that and you tube

  • The Simpsons has nothing more to prove. It's the longest running scripted TV show in American history for a reason.

  • The Simpsons will never end. I gaunertee it!

  • @declanappleseed Guarantee*

  • Simpsons- 1989

    Spongebob- 1999

    Simpsons movie- 2005

    Spongebob movie- 2005

    Simpsons ending- 2014

    Spongebob ending- 2024

    I see a connection O_o

  • good simpsons is getting cancelled, that show should have ended years ago when it still had dignity, now to do the same to pokemon, family guy and south park, and cleveland show shouldn't have even existed to start with.

  • @ultradumbass Are you blind? Read my top comment, It's not being cancelled...

  • @CapitalBhoy78 they got a contract however it won't matter if the crew doesn't take the pay cut, personally i'd rather the show end 10 years ago while it had a good reputation than go out like this with poor quality and immature comedy type ideas.

  • @ultradumbass Absolutely it should have done.

  • @2:10

    Did she really say that 45% of $800000 is a little more than $4000000?

  • @Ilovehorsepenis1 well it is 4,400,000 so yup not much more than 4 million.

  • @ultradumbass No faggot. It's 3.6 million. Jesus Christ. I knew that YouTube was full of fucking retards... but goddamn.

  • @Ilovehorsepenis1 ok einstein let's do the math. they got a 45% paycut. that means 100-45 equals 55. now i'll try to explain this in a way you'll understand. 45 times 8 equals 360. times this by 1,000 for the 3.6 million. use 8 million minus 3.6 million and it is 4.4 million. i guess you should mind actually thinking through before making a looney retard out of yourself.

  • @Ilovehorsepenis1

    Wow your right, i never knew youtube was ful lof so many retards like you...Honestly do you not know basic math?

    i mean even 50% of 8 million is 4 million.

    So obviously you can expect 45% to be a little bit more than 4 million...that should tke like 3 seconds to fully understand.

  • And nothing of value was lost.

  • i really havent seen a single episode of the Simpsons in maybe 6-7 years. So i have no idea about the alleged "drop off" in quality. I'm surprised it's still on...i remember loving the Simpsons back in 2nd grade...now i'm 24. But i'll always remember the many great episodes from back in the 90's

  • Okay last sunday I was sad about the simpsons ending but i was getting to accept it (the show has been around longer than ive been alive course i want to keep it) but when I saw that last episode with the seals it is the 1st episode of the series that i claimed SUCKED! Excusable for jumping the shark a bit or getting some closure out there for a final season but to keep it like this much longer.... its freaking frustrating

  • @SuperGirlice1995 It doesn't break your heart the way they soiled on what was once a great show? Making an episode invoving a stupid twighlight vampire falling for lisa?(Among many other episodes that blow hard.) That my friend, breaks my heart.

  • i love the simpsons but i think that the show has passed its prime. hopefully allen gregory is cancelled as well :-:

  • I for one am damn happy that the Simpsons are NOT cancelled!^^

  • @LunaPeach I assume someone gave you a humorectomy.

  • The major reason why The Simpsons isn't pulling in the same amount of money isn't because there are a million other shows to watch. That might be a little bit of the problem but let's face it, people are bored with it after 2 decades. I started watching the clips on Tracey Ulman when I was 9 and the actual show when I was 11. I am 33 now. Although strangely enough, I have grown a little bored of Family Guy and South Park and miss The Simpsons again.

  • The show is way past it's prime, I see no problem with it ending.

  • renewed or not, i think they should end the series. at this point, it's like keeping a chronically ill dog alive and not having the decency and compassion to euthanize it

  • I can't believe people think shows like South Park, Family Guy and American Dad are funnier than The Simpsons.....

  • @J0KERINTHENIGHT I cant believe think the simpsons are funny. wat do people see in that show?

  • And then Comedy Central will pick them back up for a new season.

    You people are stupid as shit if you believe a gold mine like the Simpsons won't be picked up by someone else.

    And I don't need you fuck tards replying to me, I'm just gonna delete once I see it in my comments box, save your retarded fucking breath.

  • @SeanTheOriginal With regards to who is or isn't retarded, your comment speaks for yourself...retard.

  • @alexbeathaloreach: go beat your meat!

  • @RareKnob Yeah he should do that, and then later on at night he could masturbate.

  • wtf am i gonna watch at 6PM?!

  • this was the first tv show i ever watched at age 3 my family never had a tv but when i was 3 we got the tv working the simpsons was on i loved it so much i watch every episode since then i got or the series on dvd and went to go see the movie i love the simpsons i will just break down if the shows end if they are going to end it they should end it with a another movie

  • Its not funny anymore cuz they dont CROSS THE LINE like they used to do when the cartoon first began. Now they need to be careful what they say but I remember when they would make fun of really controversial stuff which made it a lot funnier

  • I bet in 2100

    there will be 10th simpsons movie

  • i don't care, simpsons sucks these days

  • i too grew up watching the simpsons but this show is dying because the kids of this generation are watching stupid shit like the jersey shore

  • ==THE SIMPSONS HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR 2 MORE SEASONS TIL 2014 ATLEAST==

    (Make this highest rated comment so people will stop saying 'about time etc' because it's NOT ending, sad I know.

    I miss such classics as: The exchange between Homer and the frogurt guy//Psycho parody when Maggie hits Homer on the head and knocks him out//"Hello my name is Mr Burns.Okay Mr Burns whats ur 1st name?I don't know"//

    "Me fail english? that's unpossible"//"Hello Mr Thompson"..."I think he's talking to u" etc

  • 8 milion dollars...if i was to be paid that amount every year and then down to 1million the next year....i would still be happy and shut the fuck up and work like a whore doing the voice overs.

  • only 7? nah i dont buy it

  • People say that the best simpsons episodes are their early ones. I tried watching them, i watch all of the first 5 seasons, and i wasn't interested. After watching south park, simpsons seems so tame.

  • I wonder if those voice actors were the "Hard Working" rich I keep hearing about.

    Funny how people say that the poor are lazy, everybody I know works far harder than anybody who talks for a living.

  • Family Guy is funnier :)

  • They might make get more viewers for the Simpsons if they stopped showing the same 15 or 20 episodes from the last 2 seasons in a continuous loop (I swear to God that my local Fox station does that; so annoying).

  • Matt Groening should just make a youtube channel with the Simpsons and just air his oldest and latest episodes through the internet.

  • The Simpsons would rake in more viewers if the show were funny.

  • @pissed7off Or if it was funny for people who didn't think and that it was joke after joke like family guy.

  • @AreaEightySix I don't think they'd stoop to that level

  • @pissed7off I know it died years ago

  • @pissed7off It used to be the funniest show on the planet. The old episodes were far funnier than the best of Family Guy or South Park

  • Isn't it weird to see as the years had past after the movie, and the ride was open to the public, not much people have talked about it. Now, people have heard that it will come to an end. Now, ALOT of people are showing how much they do care about the show? I mean, not that much people may enjoy watching shows from Fox anymore.

    Now that Nepoleon Dynamite is coming to Fox, they may get the same rating, but not as much as The Simpsons had.

  • What is really sad about this, is you are worried about the types of shows that come on basic cable rather then speaking out about how poorly public school are manage. If I were you I would spend more time with my children to insure they have the best chance at a better life than I had.

  • Occupy Voice-overs. Occupy Voice-overs.

    Move from Occupy NYC and DC to rich Simpson "Voice-overs".

    Those dasterdly rich voice-over people. God, how I hate them.

    "Occupy" now. Now!

  • Simpsons isn't ending. It will keep going for 25th seasons. and probably more after that.

  • Man the simpsons are classic what the hell!
