>Lisa, I can't imagine anyone being more likable than you, but apparently, this new girl is. So my advice would be to start copying her in every way.
People hate on Lisa but she's literally there just to make everyone elses actions seem all that more crazy.
>>223994150She works well as a straightman when it's earned, and when the writers remember her being a smart kid doesn't overrule being a KID (see: Lyle Lanley outsmarting her easily when she confronts him in the classroom).Lisa gets as much hate as she does for all those moments when the writers just use her as a mouthpiece for their views.
>>223994102the plot of this episode didn't really work anyway, they acted like the kids were middle schoolers instead of grade schoolers
>>223994826too much of a As Told By Ginger vibe there
>>223994826The Simpsons has been dealing with the issue of aging the kids since the beginning. They can basically be any age from 8-17, just like Homer and Marge can be anywhere from 35-50
>>223994150She *was* there just to make everyone else look crazy.Now she's there to be the voice of reason and a mouthpiece for the writers. It makes her entire character come off as this insufferable mary-sue who's always right, unfathomably talented and incapable of doing wrong.The classic example is that episode from classic Simpsons where Flanders starts a football team and she shows up purely to be controversial as a female player. And the joke is that there are already female players on the team and they're already being inclusive so Lisa deflates as her entire personality is just being a contrarian holier-than-thou.That joke fundamentally would never be written into modern simpsons.
>>223994826also Lisa wanting to still be 8 and telling the others they're growing up too fast...ha ha come on, everyone wants to be as adult as possible at that age.
>>223995131What's funny is that "mouthpiece" in this case goes beyond her having the same politics as the writers, it also means she's responsible for telling us exactly how we're meant to feel about the celebrity guests (i.e. "They're really awesome") in the mega sellout episodes like picrel or the Lady Gaga special.
>>223995313>doesn't invent anything>is undeniably autistic and retarded>somehow becomes the richest man in the world and is supported by 50% of america as a genius depending on which team he's supporting that yearclown world 4ever
>>223995131why are you watching modern simpsonsare you retarded
>>223994733Speaks ill of the writers that the character with whom they best identified was (a) a girl (b) 8 (c) a grade-grubbing homework-doing nerdlinger
>>223995437Someone has to be the richest man in the world, by definitionAnd whoever it is, he will attract even more money, because people will assume he's doing something rightAnd it'll probably be a tech guy, since investors are gullible about techAnd Elon is the most famous tech guy - got cameos in movies and TV and such - so it was probably inevitable
>>223994102Bro what the fuck is going on with Homer's mouth in that pic
>>223994102ImPH
