Well he needs to get firmly reacquainted with the show's writing room.
"Bart, you're the closest thing to a man in my life and that's so depressing I think I'm going to cry."
Nice.
The animators were too happy to make this sexy if she's supposed to be repulsive.
at least he can pick good wife material
I would mating press marge all day
The point of that scene was that when his mom didn't do it for him, it turned out wrong, not "hell yeah giant marshmallow"
I always thought that too. What makes it even more strange is that Homer found Krabappel attractive when he saw her in this photo.
That is completely untrue, but whatever you say weeb.
because she's not lisa
After rewatching season 2 recently can see why it doesn't get included in the "golden age" of seasons 3-8 but absolutely not because it's bad, but dark as fuck for something people were tuning into for a laugh. And not dark in a morbid "death and abuse" kind of way, just in the whiplash to reality it can take out of nowhere.
>"Bart Gets an F" where Bart just breaks down after failing a test he actually studied for.
>Mr. Bergstrom's quote to Lisa as he leaves Springfield "That's the problem with being middle class. Anyone who really cares will abandon you for those who need it more."
>"Simpsons and Delilah" where Homer's life drastically improves when he gets his hair back. Episode frames it with the message that it's not the hair, but his confidence making the difference. He loses the hair but keeps the confidence, but everyone just judges him by his appearance and his life goes back to shit again.
It really feels like Greoning's and Brooks' unfiltered vision for the show. I say it unironically that it was ahead of its time in a way that people would watch the shit out of this now more than ever if it came out today just based on how people were eating up the depressed horse show this past decade.
remember that time homer was literally going to commit suicide
