I haven't seen any of the latest season myself, but even MeBlogWriteGood is impressed by the show taking chances again. I want to think the last few years have made them rethink how they do their parodies. The Parasite one in particular was so piss poor mainly because it felt so forced to cram too much in and not have a strong plot built around the plot of the movie and go from there. |

Much like that Sideshow Bob rake gag, The Simpsons have gone on for so long that they've circled around into being funny again.

The It parody and the Death Note homage were done so well because they didn’t just go “hey, we’re spoofing this thing, get it?”, and actually worked around the source material and give things an appropriate Simpsons-style twist. |

I'm sorry but that It parody was awful. It had no funny jokes

Watched Not It and the recent treehouse of horror on internet buzz. Enjoyed both. It was low on jokes but high on atmosphere. It even had a jump scare which got me, a horror writer!
Loved the Death Note take. So lovingly done. Could have done with more time.
The Westworld one was good too. "You're something more valuable than human, intellectual property."
I was impressed. I'm not going to compare it to 90s Simpsons because that's unfair and unreachable. But in terms of modern TV, yeah that was a clear upgrade.

This week's episode was fine. Another decent Bart/Skinner dynamic episode, with you average plot of someone going mad with power and having to be talked down. The Roblox stuff and how it was implemented was solid, and the ending with Flanders finding Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie was genuinely disturbing.
