Possibly longer, haven't been keeping track of how long it's been since I laughed at an episode. It was quite awhile ago though.

That was funny (and kinda sad at the same time)

How did they get Banksy to direct it when nobody knows who he is?

How? His identity is anonymous so it would be difficult to contact him

What he said. That opening was a poor take on an already overused joke.

:lol: Fox is an asian sweatshop. It's probably true. I stopped watching the Simpsons in the early to mid90's. They just don't get, they had forgotten what made the show funny. It was the ridiculous gags and Tom & Jerry violence. The show was so bad when it first started, and I mean bad in a good way. As the years went on the show mellowed, just like Family Guy andSouth Park. Although the most recent South Park is just lilke the 90's South Park.

this made me watch the episode on Hulu... I haven't watched a full (NEW) simpsons episode since '07

I still watch the repeats, late-night(that is until Conan comes back on TV).

There are some good episodes here and there up to 14-15ish... I think 10 is the cutoff point for where nearly every episode if funny in the entire season though.

it wasn't really funny but I smiled sadly. As for the Simpsons not being good while not funny The Bob Next Door is an amazing episode from last season.
