The Simpsons will kill off a major & iconic character in Season 26

[mmntech]

Discussing killing off a random stupid cartoon character is about as riveting to intellectually contemplate as which pretty pattern on the napkins and paper towels shall I buy?

And yet here you are. ^_^

The whole Family Guy/Simpsons crossover was a big meh. Especially since they have been showing clips of the episode for months. I felt like I basically saw the whole thing before it even aired.

I thought that the crossover episode was pretty good! The car wash and chicken fight scenes alone made it worth watching.

 

[z1ggy]

Was this on last night??? I haven't been watching much TV as of late.

 

[Pikaboo]

LMAO they killed of Crusty Dad! LMFAO. He played a BIG part in the Simpsons.. NOT! 2/10 episode.

 

[z1ggy]

Spoilers mang

 

[DigDog]

"major" and "iconic".

and here i was, thinking they would kill off (google list of simpson characters, pick one which hasn't been seen in 20 years and has never had more than 1 line of dialogue) instead.

Who? Disco Stu would have been a more impactful death than whoever the fuck this was.

Srsly

I called it! Krusty's dad. He was in a few episodes and wasn't a real major character, but well known enough to warrant some kind of ratings fan fare. I haven't watched the Simpsons in like 15 years though.

Pathetic.

Especially after they killed Maude Flanders back when the show was good.

Yeah, THAT was actually a relatively big deal. They stuck with it too... no cartoon shenanigans

And yet here you are. ^_^

And here you are taking it seriously. And I did not bother to read all the innane posts about this prior to my post, either. But you did.

What's even funnier is they killed off a non-character no rabid fanboys gave a shit about, too. Making this entire thread and the heated discussions in it a million times more pointless than it already was.

Great job, guys.

What rumors of impending cartoon deaths will inspire you all to post drivel about next time, is something only the great scholars of our time, like Sideshow Bob, can possibly begin to fathom.

And by the way, looking for pics of Sideshow Bob returned a shockingly large number of xrated fan porn. WTF all you sick, perverted, cartoon obsessed psychos.

It wouldn't kill all you sexually fetishizing cartoon tards to step away from the PC once in a while and find an actual date that wasn't a fantasy cartoon... or would it?

Major character my ass.

Yes you did, 5 months before the episode. :awe:

(And no, my balls do not have the clap.)

And I don't use Google. I use Startpage. You would figure by now that all you PC know it alls would already be using it. I used to have it listed in my sig for at least a year, but some dumb twit complained about my sig in a thread one day years ago, and a mod made me remove it.

 

[SKORPI0]

Major character my ass.

Out of the 553 episodes so far, he appeared in 11. Plus 1 movie, 1 video game.

It's pretty hilarious how defensive you're getting.

 

[Jaepheth]

Wow.
I can't believe the creators compared that to the red wedding.

I thought they were going top blind side us by killing someone else (my money was on Marge) right at the end.

Weak sauce.

Or, more appropriately, "Eh."

Well, I also don't dream of screwing a cartoon because I can't get the real thing, either. I just don't put stupid comedy cartoons and sports ahead of more important things in my life. Like hanging out with you ugly, horny guys and bromancing while the trash and dirty dishes piles up around me. I even converted my office chair to a poop chair, so I can be with you guys and never leave, not even for a second, hang on, I need to wipe and eat more pizza.

id never heard of start page before reading this post

 

[mmntech]

Pathetic.

Especially after they killed Maude Flanders back when the show was good.

IIRC, they killed Maude Flanders due to a pay dispute with the voice actor Maggie Roswell.

 

[cubby1223]

I haven't been following the Simpsons for like a decade (like most people), but it was so obvious it was going to be Herschel Krustofski.

All you had to do when looking at the list of possible characters to be killed, pick the one that had no business ever being in any lineup unless he was the one...

He was old and not really a part of the show in any way outside of maybe two episodes... in other words nothing is changing around Springfield. The publicity stunt was very lame.

Except they billed this as an "iconic" character being off'ed, and it was nothing of the sort.
