@Jonfun7Mufc Omar and Lynx are just as dull. Twinks is far too tryhard to me.

[𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙢 @TribalSpaceman]

Whenever Twinks and the dullards are on screen, it reminds me of the final week of Big Brother 11 which was so boring because all the interesting housemates had been voted out, other than Josie. I'd hate if that happened this time. #bbuk

@sel201 I wish he had, he annoys me. 🤭

[𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙢 @TribalSpaceman]

@sel201 That's literally all they need to do, instead of talking about it all the time.

[𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙢 @TribalSpaceman]

They're so obsessed with there being a divide in the house that they're willing it into perpetuity. Big Brother needs to make them mix and mingle via a task #bbuk

@Wozzo22 Just doing this now. It's a new era for me. 😉

Andy Burnham announces fines for people who call public toilets 'the bathroom'.

"There's not even a bath in there, what's that all about, hey?" he crowed, in between mouthfuls of steak bake.

@natmusicfan24 So true, and they approached each one equally. They're all flawed, they all have personalities, they've all done good things and bad things, and they're all funny and relatable.

I love how petty they all are. Proper Channel 4 style game playing #bbuk

@TheSimonC90 This series was really good for the first few weeks, like Channel 4 good.

“The Simpsons” was a beloved animated sitcom that ran for ten legendary seasons and concluded in 1999. The show was celebrated for what was widely perceived as a near perfect run that wrapped before it wore out its concept and overstayed its welcome.

Creator Matt Groening and showrunner James L. Brooks famously decided to bring the show to a conclusion after experiencing the negative audience reaction to the season 9 episode “The Principal and the Pauper,” in which it was revealed that the school’s principal was actually an impostor who had stolen the real Seymour Skinner’s identity. Brooks did not want to sully the show’s legacy by doing a bunch of weird episodes as the franchise slid into mediocrity and cultural irrelevance, so the writers and cast decided instead to go out on top and end things on a high note.

However, because of its centrality in 90s pop culture, a long-running Internet joke is to pretend “The Simpsons” is still on the air, a premise that gets more absurd and deranged with each passing year. If this show were still producing new episodes, it would be in its 38th season now, and most of the voice cast would be in their 80s.

The joke is to imagine how distorted this charming show would have become if it had been stretched out to more than 800 episodes. Comedy posters on “weird Twitter” used to try to top each other by making up terrible ideas for what modern episodes of the show might be like.

For example, a viral 2012 tweet imagined an episode where Lady Gaga helps Lisa Simpson with her self esteem. In 2019, popular shitposter Megan Amram originated the premise of Bart Simpson becoming a men’s rights activist to protest a gender-swapped reboot of “Itchy and Scratchy.”

But perhaps the most elaborate Internet “Simpsons” joke was a 2017 YouTube mockumentary “The Problem With Apu,” in which the comedian Hari Kondabolu ironically pretended to be offended by the charming and innocuous convenience store owner character Apu.

Everyone thought this was hilarious, especially since the show had been off the air for nearly two decades when the mockumentary was released. So, Twitter ran with the joke by pretending to “cancel” Apu, and the viral gag memorably resulted in the character’s voice actor, Hank Azaria, recognizing the meme by promising never to perform the character again, which everybody thought was really funny since Azaria had been retired for years.

Now, nearly a decade later, fans are pretending that the show — which has now been off the air longer than most people tweeting about it have been alive— has brought back the “cancelled” character with a new racially-appropriate voice actor.

I actually don’t think this is that funny, and I kind of think the gag of pretending “The Simpsons” is still airing new episodes has overstayed its welcome, a mistake the actual show “The Simpsons” would never have made.

If you haven’t seen this 1990s classic, which — and I cannot emphasize this enough — ended after 10 seasons in 1999, you can watch all the episodes on Disney+ (except the one with Michael Jackson that got pulled from streaming).

@preachers_son94 @Kamalfalilat I'd also love to see new designs with full, uncropped versions of the original artwork. That mix of old and new could look really good. ⚡

They waited for them all to kiss and make up (excluding the Rhianna and Omar stuff, which I wish would end), and then announced nominations 😅 #bbuk
