okay Zig Forums you have to fix modern simpsons and you can't do it by simply cancelling it how do you do it, how do you make it fresh ?

outsource it to random youtube animators. just pure chaos
>shoot Al Jean with a rifle
>shoot Yeardley Smith with a rifle
>euthanize Julie Kavner
>Lisa and Jessica Lovejoy become lesbian lovers
That about fixes it.
Allow the characters to age even if slowly and let go of status quo so you have new scenarios to make jokes about. It's not perfect but there. If the characters age and their circumstances change at least there are new humorous possibilities you don't have to repeat the same lol bart in elementary school plots and jokes five thousand times. You could have humor about him growing up or his personalities changing a bit as he grows without having to do a one-off future oneshot that doesn't allow you to develop the same kind of sustained character based humor.
Every episode is a gore-fest until Fox pulls the show off the air for me.
Bring the characters back to what they were originally instead of being caricatures of themselves. You need to wipe out the last 30 seasons imo. Have Homer as the angry, somewhat dimwitted boomer dad, Marge as the naive but lovable mother figure, Bart as the dennis the menace figure and way less neurotic, and bring Lisa back to form before the vegetarian episode as someone who was relatively bright and could correct Homer, but was also a kid and not a mouthpiece. Which means she could sometimes take part in the mischief.
At this point I would probably forbid any of the staff from taking any political shots and tell them to keep it purely on the 'this could be my neighborhood!' angle. Once things have been brought back to form, then we can think about taking a few risks and forays into uncharted territory.
A character will start talking gibberish - complete nonsense, weird sounds, screams and mumbling, but other characters will react as normal. That character will keep talking crazy for ever.
Each new episode will make yet another character talk gibberish. Sooner or later most of the cast will be like this and the episodes, which still have their plots and dialogue planned out, will turn into an incoherent mess.
That could be really funny, honestly.
Hire different animators to do whatever they want with the characters, like the couch gags but for full episodes.
that's only one step beyond the problem with nu-Simpsons. It's like they don't know how to make a scene anymore- a character will come in, start yakking and everyone just stands there smiling, waiting for their turn.
Doesn't matter what is being said, they just stand there dead-eyed.
That's a good idea.
Experiment more in animation, and trying to do minimal breaks in the status quo, closing arcs permanently and letting the characters age slightly more
Kill the entire cast.
Actually write the main family as nice, friendly people. They don't have to be perfect characters but they at least have to be someone we can root for, not the weird mean spirited characters they've evolved into.
Show them overcoming actual obstacles too
Age the characters, albeit slowly but steadily over time
Bart's been what 10 for almost 700 episodes now? He could move up a grade now
There's also a whole treasure trove off one-one characters they could bring back to write new stuff with, i.e. Laura Powers
On that note, don't be afraid to kill off old characters or bring in new ones. Experiment Experiment Experiment
Give it a proper animation budget again. Only hire writers over 40 because people born after 1980 are not fucking funny.
Use a youth serum to turn Yeardley Smith back to her late 80s slightly chubbier self and fuck her until I die of heat stroke.
>Homer is now considered an early millennial.
Fire the voice actors, hire new ones that sound like the Season 1 versions (expressive non-monotone Bart, less expressive more suave Marge, The Odd Couple Homer, etc.), use Season 21-23 as a reference for keeping the show modern, and use the extra money from the voice actors to put into the animation budget, allowing for more angles than the GoAnimate animation we've come to know and love in The Simpsons' past few seasons.
Bart is shot 36 times in the chest at age 22 during a hockey game he didn't even attend. Lisa kills herself at age 27 with 2 bullets to back of her head but the government,realizing her potential,revives her as a cyborg codenamed:Black the Ripper. Shenanigans ensue as the soul of Lisa posses her brother's corpse and seeks vengeance upon the Cyborg. Bart's soul wanders the earth forever gay as fuck. Grandpa get ipad.

>Make each ep a trilogy
>Most segments would be directed/animated/written by a different group of people
>The Segments would not just be about The Simpsons
Shitpost answer, move it to FXX and hire every smut artist who has made a finished Simpson comic. Each one gets an ep each to see if we like them enough to give them extra eps
Non-shitpost answer, fuck it. Timeskip and spin offs. I'm thinking Bart and Lisa in college for one and Maggie learning to deal with living in a house as the only child for the other
Fire the entire original VA cast and invest in some decent writers and animators then give all female characters really sexy bodies and make it into porn.
Its pretty good, people complain for nothing

time skip into adulthood for the kids, there's some ideas over in the Patty & Selma thread currently up that might be good for that
unironically this. the best simpsons-related thing in the past decade was that couch gag by the it's such a beautiful day guy
Kang and Kodos invite Homer to go traveling with them, and the focus is on the alien worlds they go to which are basically commentaries on whatever crazy current year things.
Series is The Flanderses now. 22 minutes of Ned getting up to wholesome adventures, with glimpses of the madness going on in the Simpson house.
For once you are correct. Congratulations.
I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK :D
WE TAKE MARGE AND HOMER SIMPSON THEN WE REPLACE THEM WITH SIDESHOW BOB AND HANK SCORPIO, RESPECTIVELY.
WE STOP THE RUSHED ENDINGS AND SANDBOX PLOTS THAT GO NOWHERE AND WE MAKE 40 MINUTE EPISODES EACH, WE ADD MORE EMOTIONAL WEIGHT AND FINALITY TO IT ALL. WE MAKE SIDESHOW BOB JUST OCCASIONALLY WANT TO KILL BART, THEY'LL HAVE A GREAT TOM & JERRY CHEMISTRY AND LISA CAN COME TOO.
HIRE ME
HIRE ME
HIRE ME
I'LL DO IT 4 FREE. I'LL HIRE 40 MORE PEOPLE JUST FOR THIS. GIVE ME 1 SEASON - 26 episodes. IT'S ALL I NEED, BABY. YOU CAN GO BACK TO YOUR SHITTY HOMER AND MARGE AFTER THIS. IT'LL BE A DAMN FUCKING AMAZING EXPERIMENT.
CAPSLOCK FOR CRUISE CONTROL IS COOL.
