The Awful Simpsons Shorts of Disney Plus

The Simpsons shorts like "The Good, The Bart and the Loki" and "Plusaversary" are a bleak reminder of just how far the show has drifted from its roots. In this video, I talk about why.

Bart playing Mickey in a short...remember when the Simpsons Movie literally had bart wear a bra and say "I'm the mascot of an evil corporation"
-
The fact that they put Lisa of all people to sing a literal ode to the network is the final nail on the coffin honestly
-
Disney making Plusiversary: “This is great, look at all the franchises we own!” Everyone watching Plusiversary: “Dear God, look at all the franchises they own”
-
I love how a majority of the older Disney characters look utterly miserable in the clips you showed. Goofy was the happiest looking and even he's been driven to drinking.
-
The fact that The Simpsons is becoming the puppet of Disney is a joke in itself.
-
Lisa is the last character who would shill Disney+ so shamelessly. It goes against every fibre of her being as an anti-corporate, anti-materialist, anti-sellout, left-wing activist. Whoever wrote the script completely misunderstood her character.
-
Lisa from the 90s would have stormed out after yelling at every character, and the viewers.
-
The show went from mocking and deconstruction the stagnation of pop culture, to ending up embracing and becoming pop culture....
-
The irony of Lisa being the one to do the song advertising and glorifying Disney a mega media congrolomorate when she is the most leftie anti-establishment character in the show. Shows you how much respect there is for the characters.
-
The weird and sad thing is that the Mickey shorts made more fun of Disney than the Simpsons did
-
When I was a kid in the 90s, I literally had multiple friends who were not allowed to watch the Simpsons. That's how edgy they were. And yes, I was like 7-10 years old when they first came out, but still.
-
"Almost everything is just flattened out to the joke being: 'Here's a thing you recognize.'" In other words, The Big Bang Theory. This isn't a Simpsons problem, it's an industry culture problem.
-
Bart mocking Mickey in the Simpsons movie: "I'm the mastermind of an evil corporation" Bart in the shorts: "Pls don't kill me Bob Iger"
-
I don’t even use Disney Plus, but watching these clips in this review, it just makes me depressed. As if The Simpsons isn’t dead enough, Disney is kicking the horse’s decaying corpse.
-
So basically Simpsons back then, talented, creative, cared about the jokes. Simpsons now, “hey remember light sabers and Goofy?”
-
I'm so glad my Daddy passed just after the theatrical release of the movie. He was the BIGGEST Simpsons fan I've ever met in person. It woulda broken his heart so badly to see this horrible turn of events. I agree the Simpsons deserves better, in the same way Alan Turing deserved better.
-
Remember when Homer is mistaken for the Incredible Hulk rampaging downtown then Stan Lee himself walks out of Comic Book Guy's shop, declares himself the Hulk, fails to transform, insists he really did it once, and then is ushered back into the store?
-
The Simpsons is like watching someone do ventriloquism with a corpse.
-
This is one of the reasons I'm not excited at all about the Futurama revival.
