Maggie has had more first christmases than any other cartoon baby ever.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
With stewie from family guy coming close
The Simpsons have been around for so long that even some of their episodes set in the future are now in the past.
Bart should be 40, Lisa should be 38, Homer should be 69, Marge should be 64, and Maggie should be 31
Meaning that if The Simpsons exists in 3 more years, Maggie will surpass her mother's age on the show.
Crazy
Homer would be 68.
@@Choekaas And Lisa should currently be her father's age on the show.
Homer age is nice
Maggie has been a baby for like 30 years now
This is absurd....
David Joseph so were the Rugrats at one point too. They even did that “decade in diapers” DVD collection special I’m pretty sure.
@@BrennySpain The Rugrats did grew up. They had their whole new series as teenagers later on.
Kdosda Hegen yeah I knew that. I’ve watched all of it too but wasn’t anywhere near as great as the original show I didn’t think.
Older than me
Imagine if they added The Simpsons to the Sims
Simsons?
SCG RUclips I thought of that
Simpsims
That's the best idea I've seen on a comment page.
SOMEONE MAKE THIS.
Or simpsons in GTA
Oh wait, this already exists
I think that you can get Simpson skins for the sims , I mean it is likely out there.
1989-1999 were The Simpsons' truly GOLDEN years.
The Simpsons clearly peaked in the 90s
The Simpsons was a phenomenally good show for the first 7 seasons. Seasons 8 and 9 were mixed, and then by season 10 (1998) the show was complete trash where it has remained ever since. For me they "jumped the shark" when they changed it from a realistic character-based sitcom to a wacky, surreal cartoon.
Lee Bee Even lots of people don’t like the current Mr Burns Principal Skinner and Grandpa what’s wrong with them and of course Homer?
Lee Bee Seasons 8 and 9 were not mixed at all. If anything season 8 was much sharper and ambitious season than the mundane seasons 2 and 3. "Wacky, surreal cartoon" which it already was by season 4 lmao. What kind of realistic sitcom has its characters go to space, have a pet elephant and fight a bunch of evil robots on an amusement island.
You have garbage tastes.
The animation is evolving, while the characters are devolving
The characters aren't "devolving". The show and its characters were great for the first 7 seasons, then it started to devolve in seasons 8 and 9, and by season 10 the show was garbage, and nothing has changed since then.
@@Scripture-Man You have a point on that
It’s because the writers started leaving, especially the core ones to work on different shows, for example, writers like Dan Povenmire left to work on many other shows like Spongebob and Family Guy
No it isn't
Family guy and Simpsons had a cross over sponge bob is for kids
Homer in the 2020 image looks like he's this close to going insane.
Homer is like "Please just let us retire! We don't know how much longer we can take this"
@@iamjohnporter67 yea
But in 1987 looks like he was insane
How close exactly?
how close?

"The Simpsons officially owned by Disney."
LOL
I've been watching this since it was on The Tracey Ulman Show. I still remember watching the premier primetime episode in 1989 when I was 7 years old 😲
*I remember as well, and I was 9 years old!* 😲😲😲
I never saw it! I was around 4 when it premiered though.
Me too. Since 89. I was 5
@@PKGangsta18 I l'OL
@George Cuckstanza *I'm 40!* 😉
True story I have: My grandparents in Salinas, CA have been running a business where they take care of the elderly for many years. Around late 1989, early 1990 Matt Groening asked my Grandparents to take care of his mother. They did.
_You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try._
*~ Homer Simpson*
No, it was Homer Simpson
Edit: @Mr. Friendship thanx for fixing it
Robert Ruelas is right
Matt never writtes the episodes he is more of a supervisor and he adds the occasional joke.
How do you have so many subs
The animation from S2 to S9 was really good. To me, the Simpsons was never meant to look so stylized and rich in detail as it looks now.
mcmandy086 The season 1 animation was preety good too.Did the animation change in season 10? I didn’t notice.Also Homers voice used to sound different would you know when his voice changed and when Jerkass Homer began?
@@mattmcmanus3693 Hahaha, I actually liked the animation in S1 too, I didn't include it because I like it more for nostalgic reasons than technnical reasons. If I'm honest with you, I'm from Latin America and I grew up with the dubbed version of The Simpsons which was made in Mexico. The guy who makes Homer's voice in Latin American Spanish was chosen by Matt Groening himself and the guy did a brilliant, genius, remarkable job...until he was replaced by another dude in season 16 and from that point on, The Simpsons died, it just wasn't the same. So, as you can see, even in Latin America the show took a big hit that chaged it for the worst :/
mcmandy086 Yeah the Simpson’s are a vastly different show they are more mellow and outlandish these days also I remember the days when the characters were very grounded and emotional particularly Homer who used to be very angry particularly with Bart in the early episodes those were the days
Early seasons were full of weird animation movements. Matt Groening later came up with a whole book for animators about how to not draw his characters
The couch gags are some of my favourite things about the show nowadays in the new episodes! It’s basically the only reason I still watch the show to this day. My favourite was the one where rick and morty kill the Simpsons! That was hysterical I thought!
Conan O'Brien was a writer in the early years and those were some of the best.
The day that Simpsons gets cancelled will create headlines all over..
It's been part of our lives so long it's hard to imagine world without it!
D.O it will be the end of an era for sure.
I don’t even know if the ratings are good but they keep it going like it’s an institution
My main favorite thing about this series is Hit and Run.
Lol I still have that game
I don’t like that game because the wasp cameras scared the heck out of me
It should’ve been a backwards compatible game

It can’t be that bad if people still watch and invest in enough to still keep it on the air....
It could just be still on air because it's been going so long they don't want to stop.
After three decades, we still love...
1. Bart Simpson.
2. Homer J. Simpson.
3. Marge Simpson.
4. Lisa Simpson.
And finally...
5. Maggie Simpson.
Well, i hate Lisa so.
@@pentrus2747 same she is my least fav. Maggie IMO is better then Lisa
@@PunkRockDiva1979 Lisa is too damn preachy, I like Granpa Simpson more than Lisa.
I always thought Homer was the most famous character .
The whole Fox network was in a hot dense state
when nearly 14 billion years ago, they began a TV show.
Then, Bart tried to sell his soul.
Lisa turned to vegetables.
Grandpa started fighting bulls.
Springfield built a wall.
The Who played on the top.
Carl, Lenny, Barney, Moe
A fat, bald guy who hollers D'oh.
It all started with The Simpsons.
D'oh!
Yes
Principal and the Paupper is not only a jump the shark moment, but it's also non-canon.
Why considering the judge's decree that no one will mention it ever again.
I still love the Simpson's lol
Everyone does
I'm not too big on them
Well I used to
But rick and mortey is the future
@@Classic_Gz79 I wouldn't say the future, but yea.
@@Classic_Gz79 Rick and Morty is just cheap, the humour is simple and the plots are all just pointless
The simpsons is one of my 3 childhood favorites that never got cancelled others being power rangers and cops
As much as I still love the Simpsons, I think the show needs to end, but not because of decline in quality. The voice actors aren't getting any younger, and I think they're starting to reach their limit. Specifically I've noticed that Julie Kavner's Marge voice has gotten more hoarse than before
And Harry is getting stale. The show needs to end for their sake. But if either one of them dies, the show is really done for.
They should make a movie about the creation and making of The Simpsons.
The show began it's abrupt decline when Ian Maxtone-Graham was hired to write. He had not watched the show and over the years has clashed with a lot of fans and acted like he was superior to fans. He said "That's why they're on the internet and we write the shows." He came on in Season 9 and the show never recovered.
Wow the amount of time and effort put into every episode is just shocking
The best show ever. Noo other show comes close to their first 10 seasons.
While the modern seasons may not be as good as the classic days, they can still churn out a true gem from time to time. A good example from the current season had an episode where one of Flanders' kids (I can never tell those two apart, lol) lost his faith cuz both of his moms have died. The episode was not only well written and acted, but also made really good use of music, adapting a bunch of traditional hymns I remember singing in church as a kid. The ending of the episode was so strong, that it legitimately moved me to tears. So yeah, the show may not be as good as the old days, but they can still spin gold from time to time.
I remember in high school that whenever a new epsiode aired everyone would be quoting lines from the episode for the whole week. To be in on the fun you could never miss an episode and you were away you'd make sure someone taped it for you; the Simpsons were that engraved within our school's culture. The Principal and the Pauper was the first episode I remember everyone coming to school the next day and saying how crap it was; it was universally hated. The Simpsons never hit the same chord at our school again. Sad. :(
I still laugh my ass off whenever I catch an episode. I don't care what anyone says 😅
I only watch the show because of the legendary Kevin Michael Richardson. The thing that's been missing all these years is a black guy.
@@dannythomas417 that's what Carl is there for
@K0BYN Carl is the Cleveland of The Simpsons.
Yeah. Whenever I watch the new episodes I still laugh at homers stupidity and the townspeople's actions.
I love the older simpsons episodes. I remember living in Spain and loving how the episodes would be in Spanish. Yet, when they sing, suddenly turn into their normal voices in English! It's had a huge inspiration with my animated channel on RUclips!
Fantastic video. Great in-depth look at this ridiculously long running show. Great analysis!
I kept waiting for Noah to introduce a new black hole or something. Used to his work on Unveiled.
I’d love to see an animated show where the characters actually get older every year.
I was the same age as Bart when the show first started. Now I'm the same age as Homer and it's still going.
It's obviously not what it was but I'll love it forever and watch every new episode. Springfield is my happy place.
The Simpsons is and always will be a classic, I'm happy watching the Simpsons family no matter what they are doing
As accurate as most of this is, modern Simpsons does have one HUGE advantage over the circa 1998-2007 era, and that's the fact that Jerkass Homer was finally killed off in the movie. Ever since then, he's mostly gone back to being a lovable oaf.
But sadly, Jerkass Homer was replaced at some point by Jerkass Lisa, and that would be much, much harder to walk back even if the staff wanted to. I really miss the old version of Lisa.
Marbles471 Yeah the Simpson’s used to be very different they were more grounded and serious in the classic era the first nine seasons there was no Jerkass Homer just sweet and sincere Homer I can’t recall any instances of Homer acting like a jerk like he was for 9 or 10 years before 2007 can you? Also Homer used to sound very different in the early episodes too would you know which season or episode he changed his voice?
I always find it amazing how little Matt really had to do with the show, yet he receives so much credit.
Top 10 things that NEVER got parodied by ROBOT CHICKEN
I'd love a The Simpsons-Futurama-Disenchantment triple crossover.
"Deep Space Homer" and "And Maggie Makes Three" are my favorite Mirkin Era episodes. Anyone remember Homer's freakout where he rips his hair out every time Marge said she was pregnant in "And Maggie Makes Three"?
The old school style was nice
Kevin Ma I agree I couldn’t stand the early episodes the animation was terrible as you say and the episodes were vulgar and dark in the early days would you know when this change began and when did Jerkass Homer begin?
Favourite Simpsons character: Comic Book Guy. Favourite Futurama character: Hedonism-Bot.
Funny how the quality of the show evolved inversely proportional to the quality of the animation.
It’s really amazing the evolution of the Simpson love it
This is one of Mojo's most accurate episodes
Wow this for more likes than the videos on my YT channel
Family Guy used to be bad Simpsons. Now The Simpsons is bad Family Guy
Oh I already forgot about the steamed hams meme
I am predicting.... 50 years of The Simpsons.
James Sweebe Me too I would love the Simpson’s to continue till season 50 which would be in late 2039 excactly 50 years after the pilot episode in 1989 it would be a great way for the show to finish what’s been a brilliant show
the Simpson's is THE best show ever
This show needs to retire. I don't care what the Simpsons Fanboys say this show has gone all far too long and they are just running out of ideas at this point.
Yeah I think they have milked it for all they can
I hate to agree but I do. Hilarious and well-written for many years in its heyday, now weirdly seems derivative of shows it inspired.
After season 15 they should've done it, I'm a fan and just lost interest soon after year 15.
Futurama is the thinking man’s Simpsons.
But it's from the same guy
Roland Baldwin - Exactly!
Professor: Good News!
"The Simpsons are now vessels to tell jokes, most of which feel forced and aren't that funny". Truer words never spoken about this show.
I stopped watching new episodes like 14 years ago :(
*Cool video Watch Mojo!! Love your videos!! Have a awesome day!!*
2:34 Homer chokes lol.
I had nightmares as a kid of the original Homer look and thought to myself the other day "why was Homer so freaky looking in my dreams as a child?" Than you all had to drop this thumbnail...
I wouldn't like be a baby for 30 years
Ahhh...you can’t go wrong with the classics
The judge referring to the decree explains why Seymour Skinner on the show isn't called Armin Tamzarian and so fits in with Simpson's canon.
They'll Never Stop The Simpsons!
Have no fears, we've got stories for years,
*The evolution of WatchMojo*
Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein were the showrunners for the production of "The Principal and the Pauper", not Mike Scully. Except for season 2, the first few episodes at the beginning of each season are holdovers from the previous season.
ads have nothing to do with the show
I dont want the Simpsons to end i love them
Do a Top 10 People On The Simpsons. The primary six alongside Pamela, Tress, Russi & Kevin.
Well Seymour I made it, despite your directions....
@Tony Garcia (takes apron off and tries to slide through the window until Chalmers catches him) Uh..
No need to explian homer or show him the thumbnail was a good enough of an example 😂
8:14 That was the first episode of the Simpons I've ever seen (As a rerun, I'm not old lol)
I know people are going to hate me for saying this but, I think actually think that the new seasons are just as good as the older seasons. I know, I know! Most people would say otherwise, but I just thought they were just as good and as funny as the old ones. Sure, they have some undeniable lows and continuity errors, but the older seasons had also some flawed episodes. But this is just my opinion, if you still don't like, I can understand, but to me, these seasons are just as good as the originals.
Actually, big city greens looks just like the Simpsons.
I haven't watched the darn show since 1999. And I don't care to start again
BEST MOJO VOICE....EVER
10:36 "So maybe it's fitting that the Simpsons is on Disney+"
Yeah... That did not end well for the show.
I don't think the new episodes are really that bad. The problem is it's become "cool" to hate the new episodes.
i wish the simpsons put more actual swearing in, ik its got a massive kid audience but i would love to hear homer say fuck instead of doh
I don’t understand people wanting the show to be over, just don’t watch it then? Why wouldn’t they keep it going if people are still clearly watching. I love simpsons don’t usually watch the new ones but they look amazing
I though family guy was a rip off of Simpson’s
And Family Guy did a crossover with the Simpsons called "The Simpsons Guy"
It's a parody of The Simpsons.
Not really they have their differences.
A fan theory suggests that Homer died in one of the early episodes, that's why he and Marge don't get older, or Bart, Lisa or Maggie grow up.
The Simpsons>>>>>>>>>family guy and South Park
Same opinion here. I hate SP and Family Guy
@CK16 Striker If only Mike Judge came back. Both his shows were good.
Imagine if they had aged the simpsons every season? They honestly could have kept the high quality content coming for years to come. Like imagine seeing episodes with the kids struggling as parents or homer and marge dealing with retirement? They could have even dealt with more serious topics like grief and death. It's gotta be hard to be coming up with things for elementary kids to do for 30 years. Like they should just aging them all now cuz they're gonna be on for 20 more years anyways
Simpson is seriously amazing, I love how they predicted things
Sayaka tbh if you have this amount of episodes, you will predict a lot :D
Like Trump, the Disney-Fox deal, and the tiger attack
Well, they did have a shit ton of episodes...so yea...
They should make a spin off about the simpsons kids
The Simpson’s Glow up on a thousand
4:36 OMG really?? Out of all off-the-wall season 8 eps y'all picked one that WASN'T showrunned by Weinstein/Oakley?? Smh
D’oh
You'll never stop the Simpson's
1987 - The Simpsons: it sucks.
2020 - The Simpaons: it still sucks.
Nope. Nothing's changed.
Get out
Shut up
Simpsons golden age: Everything up to Marge flashing her magambos. And one season from 20-30 or something. Seasons post 30 are somewhat good too. But remember Marge flashing her magambos is the end of classic era
this is my childhood tv show
Homer: D’oh!
Bowser: D’oh!
Even the continuity is kinda jacked up. It like they never grow up. Well at least they and Ash share something in common
6:22 At least the episode was eventually rendered non canon.
Why since the judge's decree that Skinner's real name will never be mentioned again.
Is it just me, or is watchmojo basically shitting on the show by saying it gets worse every year?
Still love them!
It's amazing that they meet the deadline
For the very last season of the Simpsons they should go back to there old ways
