Not the greatest episode, but I like the Boo-urns, Senor Spielbergo, McBain jokes. It also made me discover The Critic and that show was good
prime Simpsons was so in the zone that they could come up with any stupid story and mine gold from it
Theres lots of great moments, but all the critic stuff is just about how great he is compared to homer. Ive never seen the critic, job lovitz bothers me. The critic is actually good though?
The Critic never aired in my country when I was young so I didn't know this guy was supposed to be a crossover until much later. It was like "who the hell does this guy think he is?".
Same, I thought it was a cleb cameo
>The critic is actually good though?
Its kind of a mix of early Simpsons and early Family Guy. It has heart with goofy slapstick nonsense. Worth watching.
IT STINKS!

Very
>The critic is actually good though?
yes, writers from the simpsons left to write for it, some of the gags around that time that remains in The Simpsons is in a similar format to The Critic as a result.
Family guy blows. I used to like it, then grew out of it and like everyone else thought the early seasons were great and they lost their ways, like many parrot, then i rewatched them and they were shit. I remember seeing the critic and it was just a bunch of pop culture references, which is the laziest and cheapest form of comedy, so i think ill skip it
I don’t know, but the BEST crossover episode was E-I-E-I (Annoyed Grunt) when The Simpsons crossed over with The Sneedsons
Pho Ken S'uq
Family guy crossover is worse and twice as long
This episode is redeemed by the Hans Moleman bits on it. These are some of the funniest bits on the show. How many people reference Boourns?
Is the whole episode about how terrible the simpsons are compared to family guy? Because thats what the critic one is, also the critic one was golden age simpsons, that one was like 20 years past their peak so of course itd be shit

The throwaway gag where Heston says "You truly are the king of kings" just does it for me every single time. I dunno what it is about that specific line, but I crease every time
count me in too
They do shit on the Simpsons, yeah. And family guy. It's still terrible and the worse one which was the question.
Shut the fuck up
Chuck?
Honestly all i remember from the crossover was them doing a bikini car wash. I agree its probably worse, but its nearly a completely different show by then
I really like the setup on this episode, having the town make films for a film festival.
>EXCELENTE
>Ese es bueno
based The Critic bros
>It stinks!
They kinda do, but it's a lot of observational humor that was already done to death 30 years ago, like everyone is yellow, and one of the cringiest plots of a crossover, the "Hey, we're not so different you and I" this video sums it up perfectly

Yeah, it is different show, both long past their prime. At least with the critic ep, while not the best episode from that era, still has some decent jokes and benefits from being in the golden age of that show. The family guy crossover has absolutely nothing going for it. It's like torture watching it, especially that scene you mentioned. It might be the worst crossover of anything, animated or otherwise.
so much THIS
Yeah i think youve convinced me, youre right
Doesn't Groening to this day refuse to have this name attached to this episode because Fox forced it on the them?
It wasn’t Fox, it was his “boss” James L. Brooks who forced it, mostly to prove he was in charge.
SNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
The Critic is both the greatest love letter to 1990s New York City and the greatest love letter to Hollywood there is, and both of them hated the show.
I sometimes say "I was saying Boo-urns" without thinking
has it happened to you yet anons?
Yeah around the time dubstep became a thing.
there are people in this thread who haven't seen the critic? stop what you're doing and go watch it now. at its very best, the critic was just as good as classic simpsons & futurama, and on the shortlist for the funniest tv of the past few decades along with chappelle's show, bush-era south park, and seinfeld
Whoever hasnt seen this yet, do yourself a favor and watch it. Absolute kino, it put it on the same lebel as barton fink, top tier. Gandolfini and Thornton are great in it
