I feel like sometimes celebrity episodes need to not happen. It's fine appreciating celebrities, but making a whole episode about a real person, especially making them interact like she did with Marge, is a bit much. Same thing with South Park, yeah, it's funny most of the time, but sometimes it gets annoying.
I feel there's a difference between how South Park does it and how Simpsons do it because about.... 98/100 in South Park the celebirty is not only NOT played by themselves but being fully outright mocked and lampooned and shown to be someone we should NOT like. I mean "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset" is all about Paris Hilton but is not celebrating or appreciating her whatsoever but pointing out "hey this is a dumb bitch who doesn't do anything do NOT be like her whatsoever she sucks" A big reason "Lisa Goes Gaga" is hated is because of how much the episode is more glorifying and parading Lady Gaga around as this beloved figure without really too many jokes at her expense whatsoever.
I remember when the Simpsons had celebrity guests, but they were there to be mocked and ridiculed, so it was actually good.... these episodes feel like self inserts with no humour.
The feminist episode was just whatever, but what hit the nail in the coffin was bossy riot just revealing that they used Bart in the end, who did everything for them, and Lisa just happily accepting the invite after the reveal. Really annoying to see
I really don't wanna be that guy but In circumstances like these women seem to get a pass while males don't. Both are very in the wrong and both should be equally punished.

What confused me is how the creator and voice actor say they hate the episode, butttt they still made it anyway. Like, I doubt the network demanded they make an episode lying about skinner being a fake, its more like they fucked up and try to jump on the bandweagon of hate afterwards.
@@maxsiqueira666 Because, its NORMAL to have "small things" that are not canonical. But if you rewrite major points of characters story, then it ruins the imersion in the world. Do you agree that episode in which Homer loses his mother is one of the saddest? Imagine if the few episodes later it revealed that that he never had a mother and he was cloned from a donut. And when Fry in Futurama loses his dog, in the next episode he will be saying"I hate stupid dogs" and then kicks every dog he see. You will never be sad of another story of the episode if the major things keeps changing.
it's strange to me that a woman sexually assaulting another woman can be played off as a quirky joke and when clearly it is as bad or at least nearly as bad as a man doing the same thing

Skinner! With his crazy explanations. The superintendent's gonna need his medication. When you hear Skinner's lame exaggerations. There'll be trouble in town tonight!
Honestly, I liked 'The Principal and the Pauper'. It's a cheeky, self contained story about an unassuming person who basically stole another man's identity, and it's probably one of the people in Springfield you'd least expect. Between Agnes Skinner and Super Nintendo Chalmers, always looking down on the Skinner we know, it serves to add to hiding his true identity, in a way that I like. The truth is, while the creators don't like how it presents Principal Skinner, I'd have to respectfully disagree with them. Even when trying to live under another person's identity, he strives to be a firm, respective principal, trying to honor the memory of a former friend. The checkered past he has as a former, young ruffian, would also explain why he often has it out for Bart Simpson; he most likely sees himself within the delinquent student. After his military training and time serving under the real Seymour Skinner, it would make more sense that he personally seeks to reform the boy, as was done to him. And at the end, the residents of Springfield learn that while he was fraud, he was also principal they had grown accustomed to. Without Armin Tamzarian behind the desk at Springfield Elementary, their community wasn't the same.. and I wouldn't call that a disservice to Principal Skinner.
It’s not just the major retcon that people seem to hate, it’s also the way it’s presented and solved; at the celebration, the real Seymour Skinner conveniently shows up only now in the right place at the right time with no explanation and the way the episode ends with the town tying him to a train and promising to never talk about it ever again. It feels like the whole episode was a waste of time for the audience and the script takes a lot of shortcuts just so the story can begin and end, it’s for these other reasons that a lot of people feel like this is where the quality of the writing starts to drop and it’s not hard to disagree.
The Gaga episode was definitely bad. It just didn't feel very genuine to me. It made Lady Gaga less of a person, let alone a comedic spoof of the celebrity and into an angelic figure with corny senses of low self-esteem. It could have been written a lot better if it was funnier and down to Earth. They've done better celebrity cameos before, when the episodes didn't make the celebrities seem like messiahs or promotion of them. I like Lady Gaga, but it could have been better. Heck it was better when they didn't in-universe overplay on them being celebrities at all but just a cameo.
The Itchy & Scratchy one doesn't work because, no one who'd have the idea to make a race/gender-swapped version of a preexisting property is going to prioritize comedy. They're stuck on, 'identity group matters more than content of character', so they're in a bad headspace to make anything funny. As shown by the fact that this episode is nothing but Mary Sues versus strawmen. Ideologues can't empathize enough with the other side to make funny observations about them, and they certainly can't laugh at themselves. Can you name any swapped reboots that have been as good or better than the original?
It didn't work because people like you, instead of enjoying the episode, decided to turn it into a war of ideology. "Can you name any swapped reboots that have been as good or better than the original?" Yes, Ocean's 8
@@maxsiqueira666 Are you serious? The episode was made with deliberate political themes, and *I'm* the problem for pointing them out? Just saying they exist? *Politics of ANY kind ruin comedy.* I don't like shows that try to force a right-wing cult crap, I don't like shows that try to force left-wing cult crap. What I said applied to either side: People who can't laugh at themselves can't make comedy. Also, I appreciate that you tried, but that's an 'Ehhhh, maybe' at best. Certainly not as good as the Clooney remake, and only better than the Rat Pack original because that one was actually pretty boring. Still, I do applaud you for actually naming one that's defensible.
6:24 "It was confused and had multiple agendas" That is a GOOD thing. To have MULTIPLE agendas competing against each other. Not just two opposing agendas.
People can hate on the Lady Gaga episode as much as they want, but there is something that nobody can deny, and it is the fact that despite bad, it is a pretty memorable episode (again, mostly for the bad reasons) which isn't something that we can say about the Elon Musk episode, which I'am sure, not many pleople knew about until recently because of how bland and boring it was, personally, I though the reason why I didn't knew about is existence until recently was because it was a new episode that came out pretty recently, quite the big surprise when I realized that it was actually a episode that came more than 5 years ago.
I was not too fond of Bart's action in this. He didn't have to read those notes out loud in front of the whole school. Then again, he didn't know that it could ridicule Lisa's life. He could've looked at or read them silently, had a silent "sudden realization", and handed them back to Lisa (while saying something snarky, of course).
you don’t have a sibling do you? I’d personally do the same thing to my own sibling, bart did read it in his head realised what it was and chose to say it out loud as a form of punishment for the weak self bolstering that and rivalries care not for weakness
0:11 "Lisa Goes Gaga" 3:02 "Bart vs Itchy & Scratchy" 6:34 "A Midsummer's Nice Dreams" 8:31 "The Musk Who Fell to Earth" 11:08 "The Principal and the Pauper"
it seems like a lot of people in the comments don't know this, so "the principal and the pauper" and skinner's backstory is like a 1:1 pastiche of Retour de Martin Guerre; some exact same story beats but with a more simpsons take. I know they tend to draw from sources like that for their stories but I think this one just hit too weird maybe bc the court case was from the 1500s
Other than the last one on the list, I didn't hate any of these episodes. That's the only one that actually really pisses me off. They are very bland, but I'd watch them over a lot of "worst episodes" from other cartoons. If my choices were between South Park's "A Million Little Fibers" or the first four episodes on this list, I'd probably rather watch The Simpsons. (Though I'd keep "Lisa Goes Gaga" on mute.) Hell, I would much rather watch "The Principal and The Pauper" over and over again over a lot of Family Guy episodes. (Like "Screams of Silence," for example. That's the one where they blame the victim of domestic abuse for being abused, btw.) Basically what I'm saying is- if the worst you can say about the worst episodes of The Simpsons are "they're not funny," "they have mixed messages" (over something that's not really that important) or "they're horribly addicted to the status quo" after nearly 770 episodes, I think they're doing pretty damn good for themselves.
The Elon episode was okay with me, but then I learned about how awful of a person Elon continues to prove he is. He SAVES Homer? An incredibly narcissistic, fan fiction move.
The thing with the Gaga episode is that it was cringe Lisa was even writing about herself. We call out how lame that is now but the show tries to frame Bart revealing the lie as him being a jerk when Lisa is the one lying to everyone else for a selfish means to be popular. I can understand her having low self esteem but going the sock puppet route? Then you're the jerk.
So now I see why people hate the episode and I was like “That’s it? The reason why people don’t Lisa goes Gaga?” I was expecting something WAY WAY WAY worse from what I’ve herd about this video
I feel like, even if it delivered them in a clunky way, the Armin Tamzarian episode brought up some very sharp points about how, we really don't give a fuck what's true; we'd rather believe what feels good. And we'll ignore any amount of reality to get back to the status quo. I think the episode cut too close to the bone, making people realize, 'Yeah, you want things to go back to normal too. You're as bad as anyone else in Springfield.' People don't like confronting their own capacity for dishonesty. Why do you think it took forty years for any of the Cosby accusations to stick?
Hollywood has always been a den of predators. Why do you think metoo was turned on average Americans so quickly? Nobody knew diddy was a predatory back then.
People didn't like The Principal of the Pauper? Growing up I remember really liking that episode since it gave a twist to an otherwise boring character. It was def one of the more memorable episodes for me, surprised so many hated it.
The Elon episode got much much worse from when Elon bought Twitter. We actually thought he was some sort of genius. Now this episode seems like propaganda seen on X.
I think it's funny, maybe it's the editing, how one scene she makes out with a married woman then gets up the next morning and puts on her meat suit, like it's a thing to wear lol
I also dislike the one with JJ Abrams, it almost feels like the moral of the story was that every thing Abrams does is the best thing ever which sounds self-aggrandizing.
I still mark the Lady Gaga episode as the start of the Simpsons fall. It's just not as funny like it used to be and it's so desperate to follow political agenda. I miss the side characters. Now it's all about celebrities and Homer being stupid or Lisa being sad. Where's the nuance? The humor? Also, Elon Musk? Blegh
Honestly the Elon musk episode was the worst one. The gaga episode was meh. It wasn't bad nor was it great. It was tolerable. The elon musk one just annoyed the crap out of me. It just wasn't good. And didn't make sense to me.
Why does everybody hate this episode? I watched it, and it was good. I get that Gaga shouldn't have kissed Marge, but come on. The song in the end was awesome to listen.
We're still calling this the worst episode? Come on man, Season 11 and even the very season this came from have made much worse. Even in seasons following, there have been worse.
You also forgot to include that Gaga kissed Marge for absolutely no reason knowing that she is married. If I cared for the simpsons, I’d be pissed to see that. Edit: these all seem to be either political or woke. So that may be the reason these are so bad. (I agree with the ratings)
I feel like sometimes celebrity episodes need to not happen. It's fine appreciating celebrities, but making a whole episode about a real person, especially making them interact like she did with Marge, is a bit much. Same thing with South Park, yeah, it's funny most of the time, but sometimes it gets annoying.

Personally I think this episode would have worked better with Beyoncé.
Celebrity cameos like Chris Martin from Coldplay are a great example of how they can be good
@@DianaGohan Using South Park as an example is not a good idea considering they stopped being funny 15 seasons ago.

After his military training and time serving under the real Seymour Skinner, it would make more sense that he personally seeks to reform the boy, as was done to him.
And at the end, the residents of Springfield learn that while he was fraud, he was also principal they had grown accustomed to. Without Armin Tamzarian behind the desk at Springfield Elementary, their community wasn't the same.. and I wouldn't call that a disservice to Principal Skinner.
it still had funny moments, it had a weak plot but it was still decent compared to what we have now
Honestly, I personally think it's LONG past being dethroned as the worst episode ever.
Probably would receive less hate if it aired much earlier in the series life span.
It’s not just the major retcon that people seem to hate, it’s also the way it’s presented and solved; at the celebration, the real Seymour Skinner conveniently shows up only now in the right place at the right time with no explanation and the way the episode ends with the town tying him to a train and promising to never talk about it ever again. It feels like the whole episode was a waste of time for the audience and the script takes a lot of shortcuts just so the story can begin and end, it’s for these other reasons that a lot of people feel like this is where the quality of the writing starts to drop and it’s not hard to disagree.
The Gaga episode was definitely bad. It just didn't feel very genuine to me. It made Lady Gaga less of a person, let alone a comedic spoof of the celebrity and into an angelic figure with corny senses of low self-esteem. It could have been written a lot better if it was funnier and down to Earth. They've done better celebrity cameos before, when the episodes didn't make the celebrities seem like messiahs or promotion of them. I like Lady Gaga, but it could have been better. Heck it was better when they didn't in-universe overplay on them being celebrities at all but just a cameo.
The ending of the itchy and scratchy one was so weird
the whole episode is
This video was uploaded right after I finished watching the first episode that appeared in the video Live on Channel 4 HD
I think it's better when celebrities play characters not themselves
They had lady gaga but somehow they couldn’t write a good episode??? The outfits those are cute.
Milhouse is the worst friend possible
The Itchy & Scratchy one doesn't work because, no one who'd have the idea to make a race/gender-swapped version of a preexisting property is going to prioritize comedy. They're stuck on, 'identity group matters more than content of character', so they're in a bad headspace to make anything funny. As shown by the fact that this episode is nothing but Mary Sues versus strawmen. Ideologues can't empathize enough with the other side to make funny observations about them, and they certainly can't laugh at themselves. Can you name any swapped reboots that have been as good or better than the original?
It didn't work because people like you, instead of enjoying the episode, decided to turn it into a war of ideology.
"Can you name any swapped reboots that have been as good or better than the original?" Yes, Ocean's 8
@@maxsiqueira666 Nice bait. "It's the audiences fault they didn't like it, not the people who made it"
@@maxsiqueira666 Are you serious? The episode was made with deliberate political themes, and *I'm* the problem for pointing them out? Just saying they exist? *Politics of ANY kind ruin comedy.* I don't like shows that try to force a right-wing cult crap, I don't like shows that try to force left-wing cult crap. What I said applied to either side: People who can't laugh at themselves can't make comedy.
Also, I appreciate that you tried, but that's an 'Ehhhh, maybe' at best. Certainly not as good as the Clooney remake, and only better than the Rat Pack original because that one was actually pretty boring. Still, I do applaud you for actually naming one that's defensible.

Why did she kiss her?
Idk, this episode is weird (I’m not a homophobe, but why would you add this weird scene to the whole thing)
Because the writers like women too much
Because its woke propaganda
@@PortugueseMACPOW true
6:24 "It was confused and had multiple agendas" That is a GOOD thing. To have MULTIPLE agendas competing against each other. Not just two opposing agendas.
People can hate on the Lady Gaga episode as much as they want, but there is something that nobody can deny, and it is the fact that despite bad, it is a pretty memorable episode (again, mostly for the bad reasons) which isn't something that we can say about the Elon Musk episode, which I'am sure, not many pleople knew about until recently because of how bland and boring it was, personally, I though the reason why I didn't knew about is existence until recently was because it was a new episode that came out pretty recently, quite the big surprise when I realized that it was actually a episode that came more than 5 years ago.
the episode is memorable because it was the beginning of the show's decline.
more like lisa goes googoo gaga lmao
I was not too fond of Bart's action in this.
He didn't have to read those notes out loud in front of the whole school. Then again, he didn't know that it could ridicule Lisa's life.
He could've looked at or read them silently, had a silent "sudden realization", and handed them back to Lisa (while saying something snarky, of course).
you don’t have a sibling do you? I’d personally do the same thing to my own sibling, bart did read it in his head realised what it was and chose to say it out loud as a form of punishment for the weak self bolstering that and rivalries care not for weakness
Lisa shouldn't have been lying on a blog to gas herself up.
BOSSY RIOT? Why does the world destroy everything I love in the stupidest ways?
2:03 why did she even kiss her?! (I'm not a homophobic, btw.)
I'm guessing it's because Gaga is bi. That's why.
I can’t believe you ask such a horrifically homophobic question
@@joep218 I asked that because I was curious,
notice the first two are Lisa centered. also the Elon musk one sounds like it was written by AI.
I don’t remember family guy looking like this like why are they all yellow
😂
They REALLY need to wrap things up.
0:11 "Lisa Goes Gaga"
3:02 "Bart vs Itchy & Scratchy"
6:34 "A Midsummer's Nice Dreams"
8:31 "The Musk Who Fell to Earth"
11:08 "The Principal and the Pauper"
I don't like how BR used him as a scapegoat, that was weird, The Simpsons.
it seems like a lot of people in the comments don't know this, so "the principal and the pauper" and skinner's backstory is like a 1:1 pastiche of Retour de Martin Guerre; some exact same story beats but with a more simpsons take. I know they tend to draw from sources like that for their stories but I think this one just hit too weird maybe bc the court case was from the 1500s
Other than the last one on the list, I didn't hate any of these episodes. That's the only one that actually really pisses me off. They are very bland, but I'd watch them over a lot of "worst episodes" from other cartoons.
If my choices were between South Park's "A Million Little Fibers" or the first four episodes on this list, I'd probably rather watch The Simpsons. (Though I'd keep "Lisa Goes Gaga" on mute.)
Hell, I would much rather watch "The Principal and The Pauper" over and over again over a lot of Family Guy episodes. (Like "Screams of Silence," for example. That's the one where they blame the victim of domestic abuse for being abused, btw.)
Basically what I'm saying is- if the worst you can say about the worst episodes of The Simpsons are "they're not funny," "they have mixed messages" (over something that's not really that important) or "they're horribly addicted to the status quo" after nearly 770 episodes, I think they're doing pretty damn good for themselves.
The Principal and The Pauper is not hated in the rest of the world as it is in USA
Why is Lisa always tied to the worst of the Simpsons?
Cuz she's one of the worst Simpsons characters
@incidentalreelz I know but like seriously it's night and day when it's a Lisa episode
Dear god that Elon Musk episode is so bad
The Elon episode was okay with me, but then I learned about how awful of a person Elon continues to prove he is. He SAVES Homer? An incredibly narcissistic, fan fiction move.
So it wasn't explained why she made out with Marge? She just did it??
All these episodes could've been good or mid episodes, but they made them with such sloth, it makes it bad
The thing with the Gaga episode is that it was cringe Lisa was even writing about herself. We call out how lame that is now but the show tries to frame Bart revealing the lie as him being a jerk when Lisa is the one lying to everyone else for a selfish means to be popular. I can understand her having low self esteem but going the sock puppet route? Then you're the jerk.
Surprised “The Boys of Bummer” wasn’t mentioned. It was probably the most infamous episode before the Lady Gaga and Elon Musk episode
So now I see why people hate the episode and I was like “That’s it? The reason why people don’t Lisa goes Gaga?” I was expecting something WAY WAY WAY worse from what I’ve herd about this video
Putting Elon as a genius ,when he is not; in fact he says stupid stuff all the time. Is just stupid.
I feel like, even if it delivered them in a clunky way, the Armin Tamzarian episode brought up some very sharp points about how, we really don't give a fuck what's true; we'd rather believe what feels good. And we'll ignore any amount of reality to get back to the status quo. I think the episode cut too close to the bone, making people realize, 'Yeah, you want things to go back to normal too. You're as bad as anyone else in Springfield.' People don't like confronting their own capacity for dishonesty. Why do you think it took forty years for any of the Cosby accusations to stick?
Hollywood has always been a den of predators. Why do you think metoo was turned on average Americans so quickly? Nobody knew diddy was a predatory back then.
The simpson version of sweaty clam
This is good RUclips video and suprise I enjoy these episode (not as much as the other episode ones but still)
2:09 Devianart:
The Musk Who Fell to Earth is a special kind of bad
I'm guessing Bossy Riot was a reference to Pussy Riot
What the hell is the thumbnail
I know
so Simpsons turned to sh1t
No, I heard there were good episodes in the last season
People didn't like The Principal of the Pauper? Growing up I remember really liking that episode since it gave a twist to an otherwise boring character. It was def one of the more memorable episodes for me, surprised so many hated it.
One of the worst episodes i hate is co-dependence day from season 15 when Homer frames his own wife for drink driving!
2:06 I don’t remember this scene
Honestly, id gladly rewatch "The Principal and the Pauper" over anything done in past 5 to 10 years of The Simpsons
The Elon episode got much much worse from when Elon bought Twitter. We actually thought he was some sort of genius. Now this episode seems like propaganda seen on X.
I think it's funny, maybe it's the editing, how one scene she makes out with a married woman then gets up the next morning and puts on her meat suit, like it's a thing to wear lol
Notice that almost every episode here is quite recent.
3:16 well your right it won't age well
Still like when skinner said up yours children
2:16 am I the only one who noticed homer getting a taste of the Gaga meat 😂
This show peaked in the 80s. And has been boring ever since
I also dislike the one with JJ Abrams, it almost feels like the moral of the story was that every thing Abrams does is the best thing ever which sounds self-aggrandizing.
I still mark the Lady Gaga episode as the start of the Simpsons fall. It's just not as funny like it used to be and it's so desperate to follow political agenda. I miss the side characters. Now it's all about celebrities and Homer being stupid or Lisa being sad. Where's the nuance? The humor? Also, Elon Musk? Blegh
I feel like The Simpsons lost it's charm ages ago. Frankly.. I feel it should have come to a conclusion decades ago when it was still relevant.
I’ve ghost written about myself on a school blog before too.
Honestly the Elon musk episode was the worst one. The gaga episode was meh. It wasn't bad nor was it great. It was tolerable. The elon musk one just annoyed the crap out of me. It just wasn't good. And didn't make sense to me.
The Elon episode is whatever. It's not the worst but i honestly hate the Gaga episode more
How are you able to describe "Lisa Goes Gaga" in a way that actually makes it sound like a decent episode???
Celebrity cameo actor Jon Lovitz has something to say about that ...
This episode was horrible....bad humor,random and uneccessary gay kiss,stupid ending like WTF
I hate that lady gaga episode especially because lady gaga kisses marge and marge and homer are ok with it
Why does everybody hate this episode? I watched it, and it was good. I get that Gaga shouldn't have kissed Marge, but come on. The song in the end was awesome to listen.
editing mistake oh his headband at 7:37 (put back a few seconds to see)
Lol
Wad Goals was what made me lose interest in The Simpsons.
the thumbnail 💀
We're still calling this the worst episode?
Come on man, Season 11 and even the very season this came from have made much worse.
Even in seasons following, there have been worse.
Celebrities killed the radio.
I don't like Marge and Homer just let Eleanor relapse to her hoarding habits.
2:08 it was more affective (I clicked this vid for a reason)
Ooh they bet the house on Elon, and boy did that go sour
You also forgot to include that Gaga kissed Marge for absolutely no reason knowing that she is married. If I cared for the simpsons, I’d be pissed to see that.
Edit: these all seem to be either political or woke. So that may be the reason these are so bad. (I agree with the ratings)
Everyone is just trying to make everything woke.
as it should
I actually really enjoyed the Principal Pauper episode. It’s definitely not the best, I don’t think it’s the worst.
