  • SKIIINNNEEEEEEEERRRRR

  • they must be being sarcastic saying the simpsons is genius. it's turned into absolute tripe. seriously just a retarded parody of what it used to be.

  • @AlpinKirkonen I think theyv tried to copy family guy without realising that family guy is a cheap piece of crap.

  • @ProperMuzik the simpsons suck because most of their good writers left, and being around for 20 seasons all the good ideas have been done so they resort to really stupid shit. they should have stopped before season 10.

  • Fix: Simpsons WAS genius.

    Now... well, before the SImpsons were a family, now they're a collection of wacky people.

  • Simpsons is awesome :)

  • BART THATS DETENTION

  • Whats the simpsons??

  • @MrDeedz100 a T.V. show its a cartoon but for an older audience than most cartoons but less that say family guy

  • @dob1997 lol thanks! i was only messin tho i know who the simpsons are

  • @MrDeedz100 Lol now I look stupid, thanks! :P

  • @dob1997 lol sorry. tbf you gave a good discription of who they are tho ;)

  • @MrDeedz100 lol well thanks :D i do try :P

  • hey! simpsons is STILL awesome.

  • You have to admit they're milking it for all it's worth now. If they respected the simpsons they would have ended the dam show ages ago...

  • @Mistersamsam It's gotten really good again - it went through a shitty period - but it's gotten REALLY good again.

  • Simpsons stopped being funny around 2000. 90's Simpsons are the ones you wanna watch.

  • i like the simpsons..;)

  • The Simpsons are the best family ever!!

  • it went down hill after 2003

  • I'm sorry, has he ever seen Ned Flanders before?

  • The Simpsons sucks now.

  • @Jakedastudly You suck... COCK. HAHAHAHAHA

  • does he even know who ned flanders is?

  • I want this show in Sweden! :)

  • The Simpsons rocks!

  • @PopcornLoverize Yeaaah, thats the guyyyy ;P

  • 2:39 that guy's smile reminded me somehow of Harry Potter's smile. O.O

  • @MyLovelyLife2 Harry Potter is a fictional character kid.

  • @Martial024 Uh i know that. thanks. I meant the actor

  • U.S. talk shows are so priggish. So puritanical.These guys are relaxing, making fun of the audience and drinking fucking wine! They bring the Green Room on to the set instead of getting the guests loaded in secret. Who drinks water out of a coffee mug anyway? America is just so far behind.

  • @eqsmooth This show is no different from lopez tonight or various other US talk shows.

  • It's not funny.

  • no itsnt lol :D!

  • it WAS genius, now its lowest common denominator garbage

  • My old teacher looked EXACTLY like Ned Flanders, just without the moustache! Glasses, green jumper, pink shirt and everything!

  • @EdnaShamrock OMG THAT FUCKING HIDELIYDIDELYCREEPYLEDOSIOUS !!!

  • @goingsupernuts haha! that comment's made my day...

  • blablubluabluabl.. om.!

  • I never thought that I'd laugh at "Hairy Bookends"

  • I had been wrecking my mind as to WHO THAT MAN WAS.

    didn't recognize Eddie without his dress..

  • Look at Eddie and Harry getting along!

  • What was with all the nude barbie dolls behind Graham?

  • @fuckyeahpoptarts its just a thing he does. its nothing really.

  • i think the guy that graham thinks looks like ed flanders looks more like freddie prinze from chico and the man tv series from the 70's

  • the simpsons is brutal....it is whats wrong with america....

  • this show is good too

  • skill.

  • Yeah 20 years is impressive but not so much when you think that the show has gone downhill since 2000. Harry Shearer is actually being really kind to it because other times he has said that it hasn't been touching for years and stuff. I watched a new episode recently and its so tired its unbelievable. The witty, smart jokes and complex storyline it had in the 1990s is gone. Now its all about slapstick, mainly Homer just hurting himself.

  • You can really hear prinicpal skinner in his real voice

  • @jajayatzi and smithers.... it's kind of unnerving haha

  • @Ariel202113 he does various voices.

  • Is it just me or does Harry Shearer look a lot like Dustin Hoffman.

  • @jigSAW1059 It's just you :-)

  • @jigSAW1059 i knew he looked familiar i just didnt know who it was!! haha

  • the simpsons has become stupid

  • Eddie Izzard is genius

  • The guy next to flander looks like harry potter?

  • Smartest show on television sorry Discovery Channel

  • smithers is like his actual voice

  • genious!

  • DEREK

  • Genius? Who said that? You are going too far there.

  • @schtolteheim if an adult and a child can find is amusing, and it's been going strong for 20 years...then that's very special

  • @kosovanwhizkid In this case that is very true, but the same can be true in a different sense. As with Lady Gaga. If a daughter and her mother likes her, which is often the case, then the daughter part is fine, but the mother.. she's special.. Or spechul, if you will.

  • @ronnysoeberg Yeah, but keeping it relevant, the case here is the wider audience, it's evident with millions of people around the globe.

  • @kosovanwhizkid I have to say, as someone who does absolutely not think the simpsons is any fun at all. I indeed do respect the fact that it is one of the most watched and longest living (to say it like that). So thumbs up if you either like the show or dont like it but agree with me:)

  • @kosovanwhizkid thats why family sux in comparison

  • Lol. Why are Gay people so Amusing.... Alan Carr, Graham Norton and John Barrowman =D

  • @CaptainEnigma1235 because everything in their lives is fabulous lol

  • why does he bow, he just does some voices, the good thing about the Simpsons is the writing

  • @crimsletons90 He has been a part of it for twenty years. It's not just the writers who create the Simpsons, it's an entire team and they're parts of the whole thing. As part of and as 'representative' of this team I feel he is allowed to accept any love for the Simpsons that is thrown at him (he didn't ask for the applause he merely accepted it gracefully). He deserves it. It wouldn't be the Simpsons without his excellent voice work!

  • Trock On!

  • @tdk2592 Actually no, I think you'll find attention was given to them due to their talent not them looking for attention. Comedians do small bar gigs usually for money, or cos they like the atmosphere or simply because it's there hobby. Same goes for anyone else really, what starts as their hobby can sometimes become their career based on their talent.

    And you're not alone on that one.

  • @brettseeney

    Read Russell Brand's book he's been an attention whore his whole life. SO has Liam Gallagher. They didn't change when they became famous, that's who they are.

    Russell wanted to be an actor because he loved attention then realised on stage that he made people laugh so got into standup. He was a lonely teenager. Bullied at school, poor lad.

  • @tdk2592 Okay, well I might of been wrong about two then, but either way a huge majority of Attention Seeker's aren't good people. I mean it's a bit of a stretch to say Russell Brand is a good person for two reason's a) his style of comedy is 'restricted' b) he's dating Katy-fucking-Perry. It's impossible to like him when he's made Katy Perry unavailable.

    As for Liam Gallagher, I would of added him to my list but it's a 50/50 whether people like him or not, I just think he's a daft cunt.

  • @brettseeney

    Gallagher is hilarious. "Did you have may heroes as a child?" (that was the interviewer, see.) "err.. I like the incredible hulk." "Ah, what did you like about him?" "Dunno.... just his greenness."

    Hilarious. If I were him I'd be kicking the paparazzi in too smashing cameras and throwing cheese.... what a role model.

    Hardly blame russ she's got big boobies. I'd marry her too, as long as I didn't have to listen to her 'music'

  • @ugmachine2000 matter of opinion.

  • Greetings from Mexico

    Oh you British are so Lucky with good TV Humour, Late Shows and everything. I live my life through the BBC programming everyday , Damn you and your Smexy accents!!

  • Comment removed

  • I love the Simpsons but nowadays I prefer Family Guy - everyone is entitled to their own opinion otherwise the world would be a really boring place

  • @Rachiejane1 Family Guy is fucking awful now. Family Guy deserves an award for going down hill faster than The Simpsons.

  • @Radz117 I actually prefer Family Guy now to how it was in the start. Did you not see the one about the braindead horse? That one made me cry with laughter (it may just be my childish sense of humour though!)

  • @Rachiejane1

    Idiotic humour. Not childish. Idiotic.

  • @tdk2592 Rude. Not clever. Just rude.

  • @Rachiejane1

    Why is that rude? Family guy is idiotic. Fact.

  • @tdk2592 I do not have an idiotic sense of humour. 'Fact'.

  • @Rachiejane1

    You find Conway Twitty singing for 10 minutes funny. You find incoherent 'jokes' with absolutely no connection to the plot amusing.

    You have an idiotic sense of humour. Fact.

    (The attempt at satirizing me is pathetic.)

  • @tdk2592 Did I say Conway Twitty singing for 10 minutes was funny? No, I don't believe I did. I'm not sure how you can think the jokes are 'incoherent' at the same time as calling the show 'idiotic'; surely if that were the case, the jokes would be coherent so that even idiots could actually get them. Saying I have an idiotic sense of humour doesn't make it so. You yourself are pathetic for not understanding that people tend to find different things funny & satirising doesn't have a z. Thanks

  • @Rachiejane1

    Well, that's Family Guy's killer joke... that's a real fan fav.

    The jokes are incoherent. That is undeniable. No see, you're confusing incoherency with coherency. They're antonyms (opposites). Saying you have an idiotic sense of humour doesn't make it so but that fact that you chuckle along to a simpsons rip-off with unfunny material rehashed from 70s and 80s movies definately does.

  • @tdk2592 You have a REALLY bad attitude & basically cannot understand that someone might have different tastes to yours so you attack them which I think is pathetic & sad. Your arguments have no backbone & you come across as very bitter, patronising & arrogant - basically, 3 of the most unattractive character traits a person can have so why on earth would anyone take you seriously? Attacking your spelling wasn't supposed to prove anything; I just wanted to point out an error you made. Bye now

  • @Rachiejane1

    Wait... are you running away?.... with your tail between your legs?

    You can like Family Guy but that doesn't stop it being shit. Same as Beiner kid he's shit, that's the fact. People can still like him; but does that stop him being shit? No. No it doesn't.

    Family Guy is shit. It's idiotic. Facts. Does that stop you liking it? No. This is why opinions are labelled reflections of character. You like idiotic shit things. You probably watch the twilight movies because of that.

  • @tdk2592 I guess you can add pyschic to your list of 'character' traits because you seem to have got me down to a T - I like idiotic shit things & watch Twilight movies all the time...how did you know? Not sure you can add that you are able to master coherent speech or string a sentence together but you could possibly get a job in a carnival or something...now please do everyone a favour & piss off

  • @Rachiejane1

    Okay...

  • @tdk2592 Not to join in, but you saying Family Guy is shit, is opinion not fact.

  • @brettseeney

    Family Guy is poorly written, rarely has any structure to the story, rarely has a story, jokes thought up by a 4 year old downs kid, terrible animation, overuse of 3D, self aggrandizing and self referential.

    All of these things result in the program 'Family Guy' being shit. All of these FACTS supporting the opinion.

  • @tdk2592 Ignorance sure must be bliss to you. In your OPINION it is poorly written, rarely has structure to story, rarely has a story, terrible animation yada yada yada.

    Same can easily be said about the Simpson's, Simpson's hasn't been funny for years now. Both Family Guy and The Simpson's are in the same boat, they appeal to either the young, or people with somewhat simple sense of humour.

  • @brettseeney

    Exactly.... Simpsons and Family Guy aren't funny anymore.

    Listen, how can poor animation and bad writing be opinion? So saying Disaster Movie is one of the worst made movies ever is merely opinion? No. There are countless facts to back up that opinion.

    One simple way to explain. God isn't real. Those who think he is are wrong. They are entitled to their opinion but there simply are no facts to back it up. Scienctific fact is irrefutable, is ever changing and undeniable

  • @tdk2592 Both are still opinion, I've seen pretty much every episode of Family Guy, at the beginning when Seth didn't have much of a budget the animation was poor. But it's much much better now. Bad Writing that's a matter of opinion because there's nothing physically wrong with his writing, it makes sense you just dont find it funny that is all. Same with Disaster Movie, you may think it's piss poor but others dont. All down to opinion.

  • @brettseeney

    You're officially an idiot. I'm not responding to you. Just read back those last comments you made and see if you can see why you fail at everything you try.

  • @tdk2592 You can admit defeat, it's okay nothing wrong with that. As I said, belief is different to entertainment tastes. You can sit there and pretend there is no difference what so ever but you are just making yourself look like an idiot.

    Saying "Family Guy is crap" is different to saying "God doesn't exist". You have your reasons as to why you think Family Guy is crap but thats not scientific evidence, and your opinion is not fact. End of. Shut the fuck up.

  • @brettseeney

    You've got downs in your face.

    You need to stop.

    You need to die.

    In a fire.

  • @tdk2592 "You've got downs in your face". Are you trying to take the piss out of people with Downs Syndrome? Wow with that mentality then Family Guy should suite you down to a T...

    No, you need to stop, you need to realise how much of an idiot you've made yourself look, I need to die? No in your opinion I should die, not I need too.

    You're making us UK'ers look bad...

  • @brettseeney

    That was a quick reply. Blimey, you must have been sitting here all night.

    "suite" lol...

    So you really DO have downs? Oh, lordy lord. See having downs in a specific part of the body is impossible so no, I'm not making fun of people with downs; i'm making fun of you.

    Obsessed with opinion. What is wrong with you? Why do you care so much about what I say/type? Have you no other interests? Polo?

  • @tdk2592 ...

    Making fun of me? Well in order to make fun of someone you'd need to offend them so... sorry to say but you're failing. I can pretend to be offended if it hurts your feelings too much that I'm not offended.

    You said that you was going to drop this a while back, so you must be the one who cares so deeply about this matter as you have kept it up.

    

  • @tdk2592 Even when you say you're going to stop you don't. Whats the matter? Mommy and Daddy never gave you much attention so you have to find it elsewhere?

    Altogether now, Nawwwwww.

  • @brettseeney

    ....you say this but you're still here too. Why would such an absurd assuption even enter your mind? Unless... you're trying to hide your own insecurity by attacking me with it! It all makes sense... you're a lonely little shit who is incapable of any normal social interaction.

    I pity you. Truely I pity the miserable existance you surely must have.

  • @tdk2592 I never said I was going though...

    It's an assumption based on the facts you have provided me, and further backed up by your apparent insecurity in that you immediately attempted to push it over to someone else.

    You clearly strive the attention as you first of all started an argument with someone based on their opinion, you tried to make your opinion appear as fact (a method used by many attention seekers to make them feel they have worth)

  • @brettseeney

    It's your opinion that I am a fool. You act as if your opinion is fact. Can you not see how futile this is?

    I just said Family Guy is shit (which it is) you should have then not replied if you didn;t want to hear my idiotic ramblings.

    You say attention seeker as if it's a bad thing. All the best people are attention seekers. Fact.

  • @tdk2592 You've made yourself look like a fool, I haven't needed to say it. I don't act as if my opinion is fact, in fact I don't even think I've stated my opinion on anything...

    I didn't think you were some attention starved idiot, had I of known, I'd of paid you non.

    No there not, Some of the best people gain attention, not seek it. They gain attention because they are "some of the best people".

  • @brettseeney

    Russell Brand, Noel Fielding, John Lennon, Ricky Gervais, Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn...

    All pretty cool people. All seek or seeked attention.

  • @tdk2592 Nope, all gained attention because of their talents.

    Katie Price, Alex Reid, Jade Goody, Kerry Katona...

    All attention seekers. All complete idiots.

  • @tdk2592 and then when I pointed out where you was going wrong, you then hounded me about how you were supposedly "right". Even though you had broken logic...

    You can keep your pity, it is you who needs pitying.

  • @brettseeney

    Anyone who judges an entire country on one person would be almost as foolish as you.

    I don't really care if they hate England, after all it's their opinion.... not fact...

  • @tdk2592 As for the God and Science, completely different kettle of fish, Opinion for family guy is based on entertainment taste's there is no science involved as far as "I like this type of comedy" "Well I like this type of comedy".

    God and Science argument is built around those who believe in science and those who don't. Not those who have a taste for science and those who don't.

  • @brettseeney

    but that doesn't stop people saying "Look you can't say it isn't because I think it is" The world is full of those people who mistake facts for opinions.

    Family Guy is a show of poor quality. That is a fact. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant. Family Guy is shit. That is an opinion built upon the fact that it is of poor quality. My opinion is synonymous with the fact to the majority of mentally stable humans.

  • @tdk2592 Now stop pretending your opinion is fact and that you are some form of God almighty, realise you are infact making yourself look like an idiot by pretending your opinion matters on the comment section, of a video on a website on the internet. This is Youtube, not question time.

  • @Rachiejane1

    You're attacking my spelling? What does that prove? Nothing. It proves nothing but your lack of an argument.

  • @jakebiomask no cares about your opinion

  • I <3 EDDIE IZZARD!!! :D

  • the guy who watchessss simpsons back since 1994, and wont admit the damn thing isnt funny anymore

  • Omg. He is so talented with voices.

  • lol 'they're like book ends.. hairy bookends.!'

  • the simpsomns hasnt been funny since 99

  • @jakebiomask the simpsons has always been funny and will continue to be funny for years to come

  • @mcjuvey1 err NO mate, the simpsons golden years were series 1-6 an 7, 8 and abit of 9 were pretty good too but since 2000 it has been an absolute pile of wank, because they got some different writers they seemed to go the shitty family guy root and made it unfunny all together and even though the simpsons movie regained abit of heart it was a decent movie at best and would have been a million times better back in the day when they had good writers.

  • @jakebiomask my friend it is a matter of opinion im with you sort of the new writers aint as good as the original writers but its still funny it doesnt help with the way the world has gone aswell though the restrictions on what humour and type of comedy is allowed to be broadcast

  • @mcjuvey1 no it isn't opinion, its fact. the simpsons is shit now, the old are good and people who say the new ones are better than the old are fucking stupid and so are the ones who just like the new ones.

  • @jakebiomask your the one thats fucking stupid for not realising that some people prefer different things to other people and in my opinion they are all good the newer ones aint as good as the old ones but i still find them funny end of!!!!

  • @mcjuvey1 no, they are shit, end of.

  • @Shindai yah like thats gonna happen haha

  • I can dream, dammit! lol

  • Did anyone else ecpect Eddie Izzard to be so normal?

  • how did you expect him to be?

  • A bit more eccentric I guess, not so layed back.

  • You mean more like he is in his stand up? Sort of rambling and weird (in a fun way) and all that? I've seen him before in interviews so I'm not surprised but if that's what you mean I can understand why you might not expect him to be so laid back and stuff

  • They must come from the same area of america

  • Okay, that is fucking lame dude. Dont ever mention Tim Allen again. Or santa movies. Or "The" santa movies, as you put it...
