Like that one revelation about the fact that Homer delivered Todd Flanders so Ned and Maude gave Todd the name of Homer for his middle name. That isn't what Simpsons is about. Classic Simpsons would laugh at something like that.

HOW? WHY? It completely break the little continuity the series has and for absolutely retarded forced emotional moment.

I previously thought youtubers claimed the show was good again because of politics, but with that example it's clear that Simpsons became yet another gay show for emotionally stunted zoomers that wants the characters to huddle in a circle and talk about their emotions for 30 minutes like Amazing Digital Circus, because the viewers are too retarded to understand what a character thinks without it saying so explicitly or a tranny youtuber giving his own interpretation.

It is a complete devolution of Simpsons into the kind of safe children's animated sitcoms it mocked, only at least those were for actual children so it made sense to characters to talk about their feelings. And it didn't need to engage in bouts of disgusting violence with gore to justify to the viewer it's for grown ups.

If Homer's Enemy was made today, it would have ended with a 10 minute talk between Homer and Frank about their insecurities followed by Frank fucking Homer in the ass.

Yesterday Disney had another Simpsons special and it looked as bad as you expected it would.

This may sound harsh to some viewers, but it's my opinion that everyone who worked on The Simpsons from the year 2000 onwards should be beaten to death with a shovel.
 
The joker parody was OK. Not particularly great, but not unwatchable.

Most interesting part was a shot that may have been a reference to a that time a guy living next to the joker stairs shot a video of joakin filming the dancing scene from his window

They also used the word "clowncels" which is so retarded that it wraps back around to being really funny.

I didn't watch any of the other segments

I actually watched this episode, because I haven't seen one since the mid 00s and was curious how bad it has gotten.
It was not as overtly woke as I expected it to be, but it is blatantly obvious it was made by bitter, out of touch, seething liberals.
The biggest issue is how painfully unfunny and stale it felt.

The main plot involves Marge fantasizing about other men alternate versions of Homer, which leads to three different skits, parodying things that haven't been relevant in years. Marge being weary of Homer's 90s cartoon dad antics, is nothing new, but her modern iteration is extra bitchy about it. There was a "joke" alluding to American democracy being a failed experiment. You know, because people voted Trump into office through a democratic election. Which clearly proves democracy in the USA has failed.

The first parody is of Top Gun, a movie which has been made relevant by its 2022 sequel, 4 YEARS AGO. HA HA, Tom Cruise is short, body shaming is OK if we do it, ummmm, the characters have wacky call signs, because military LOL.
The second skit is just traditional, Hollywood seething over the dreaded decade of le 50s. Because those were terrible times you see. They were soooo bad. None of the people currently working on the show were alive back then, but they are certain it was hell. Men had steady jobs, so they could afford a nice house, two cars and had no issue putting food on the table for their big families. Sounds miserable, in fact, everyone must have been miserable.
The third skit is just seething about Joker, a movie that came out 7 YEARS AGO. You were not supposed to like the main character Chud! Please be media literate and understand that the Joker in that movie was a bad guy. You watched the movie wrong, here, now, maybe you understand.

Who is this show made for?

...AND it'd also find a way to give you a proper "Aww" moment by the end of the episode.

That is the thing. It isn't like old Simpsons was devoid of heart and soul. It knew how to provide genuine moments. The thing with these newer episodes is that it feels far more artificial than authentic. They are trying to have the ending to "Mother Simpson" but they are failing because it comes across as pandering.

To piggyback off my last post, what episodes I feel they are trying to replicate are episodes like "In Marge We Trust" or that one where Barney becomes sober. Have an episode where we focus on one of the side characters and examine their issues, ending with some sort of triumph for them. They are struggling to do that though because they don't have the exact right ingredients for them.

The same people who bitch about the 50's also genuinely believe that we're living in one of the worst periods of history ever

Modern Simpsons tries to artificially add heart by giving backstories that "explain" character details that make them less funny and less interesting to appease wiki loreslop fans.

My least favorite is "Did you know the reason that Mr. Burns never fired Homer isn't a funny recurring joke about Burns being stupid? It's actually part of a deep, emotional backstory where Homer's dad blackmailed Mr. Burns into giving Homer a permanent job! Ignore that Mr. Burns has fired Homer dozens of times! Isn't that better than a funny recurring gag?"

(Sometimes I wonder if modern audiences are just like Chris Chan where they can't accept absurdist humor and need everything to have logic.)

They've wrung the series totally dry.

Wasn't it always implied Burns never fired Homer because he was so senile and demented that he completely forgot who Homer was on a day to day basis?

Yes, it was also the catalyst for who shot mr. burns, but they felt ruining all that was worth it for adding artificial heart to 1 episode.

It's the same thing that ruined Futurama when they brought it back, and then brought it back, and then brought it back again. They saw that people fondly remember the episodes about Fry's dog or the lucky clover and decided that that's what the audience truly wanted, so every other episode was some schmaltzy tug at your heartstrings about X or Y character's touching backstory. They missed the point that those episodes are memorable because it was rare and unexpected to have your goofy sci-fi comedy suddenly veer into something tragic or heartwarming. Not only does it ruin the impact if you keep doing it again and again, it also makes the world feel smaller as you shove in a bunch of backstory of how these characters actually knew each other for decades prior to the show's start.
