With the closure of The Simpsons Tapped Out, it wouldn't surprise me if they were ending the show. And because they have literally covered everything, it wouldn't shock me if the ACTUAL season finale was at the end of this season.
The show premiered about 2 and a half months before my third birthday. I remember finding it amusing when I was in fourth grade and 10 like Bart. I'm now older than Homer was in the first 7 or so seasons (since they kept aging him up).
It's crazy when you put it into perspective like that. Like the Simpsons had been around for over 10 years before I was even born and now I'm a full grown adult watching these videos
@@LanaK.fan8337 lol that makes it even funnier 🤣 I wrote my comment after the video was over and assumed it was the mustachioed gentlemen who’s usually at the tire fire. lol
SHORT ANSWER: No, The Simpsons hasn't really ended. The show tricked fans by airing an episode that seemed like a series finale, but it was just a prank. Everything went back to normal by the end, and the show is still continuing.
This isn't the first time we got an episode we suspected may be the series finale. There was also "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind" way back in season 19. The ending featured the words "The End" on the back of the cruise ship and a dinghy with a question mark on it. "Holidays of Future Passed" from season 23 was also written as a potential series finale in the event the show ended.
They should end it before a major voice actor in the family dies. It would be worse to end it abruptly. They can choose to go out with everyone smiling and alive
I've been saying similar things about that for this show for a long time. Some voice actors of this show died as years passed and with how long this show has gone on for. All these voice actors aren't going to live forever and if any of the voice actors of the show, be it a minor or major one, were to pass on, what are they going to do then? Replace them with someone else or just write them out as dead and never make an appearance again but only be mentioned and appear in flashbacks through clips. It would be better for the show to conclude while everyone who voices the characters are still alive then it would to have it end abruptly when a voice actor of one of the major characters passed on. Same can be said for some animated shows that are still going. I'm surprised that they haven't ran out of ideas for more new episodes and seasons.
I love how Tom Hanks actually voiced himself and Danny DeVito actually returned to voice Herb. Not surprised at Cena since he loves voicing and making fun of himself, just look at the Oscars this year.
people in the comments should REALLY watch the video before commenting the writers we're messing with the fans, the show isn't ending we have more episodes coming up this season
Right? It's like all these comments are coming from a vacuum lol. Did anyone watch the video? or the episode? or realize there's more episodes slated for this season like you said?
Even before watching the video, as someone that hasn't watched the show for years, it clearly wasn't ending. You don't start a new season with the series finale because, as you say, there's clearly more episodes to come after it.
@@bostonrailfan2427this happened the last time, and the time before that, and the time before that, and the time before that. You get the point. They don't always announce it so soon.
If Skinner is getting his own spinoff show... that means, Skinner and The Superintendent?! Skinner with his crazy explanations The superintendent's gonna need his medication When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations There'll be trouble in town, tonight! SEYMOURRR!!!
That...that would be an idea, like that one Simpsons epsiode where they put side characters into new tv shows.....I think, that's what they should do if theywant to keep its suffering life going, istead of finishing it, like make a whole Simpsons Universe, like Marvel with differnet tv shows based on different charcters from the Simpsons....like what they tried to do with the Cleveland brown show with Family Guy.
Little do people remember that the Simpsons started in the 1980s on something called the Tracy Ullman Show. I watched back in the day and used to love the prank phone calls to Moes Tavern.
@@radrobd123 this was doing the late 80s I was around 5 or 6 years old when the Simpsons first aired on TV the characters were goofy looking in there early development but over the years they have gotten better yeah I love the 90s Simpsons it was really my childhood era.
I’m actually glad the show is not ending. I lost my brother recently and we used to watch the Simpsons together so much!! I hadn’t watched it properly since he passed as it was a huge comfort show. As hard as it may be watching it on my own now. I am so glad they have a new season.
It would not shock me if the show does end this season and this was a hint to that. I tihink the last Ep ever well be a Christmas EP this show started with one on December 17, 1989 with Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire, Ending with one would be them coming full circle plus if this season is full of more call backs I think it is another a good hint again that its over the Tree House EP well be telling, if it feels like an early seasons one, What more is left to tell, there are 769 EP as of this writing that is a lot of ep for syndication.
@@animegamesmoviesandotherst3037 I recall Al Jean saying if he ended the show, he would make the series finale be the Simpsons going to a Christmas play to make the series feel like one continuous loop.
2:43 I really hope animators get the respect they deserve as we love seeing all of their hard work that they put into the animated films they work on shown on the big screen. And we certainly do not want AI to ruin it with all that crappy looking AI animations.
I agree. Kudos to the animators for fighting back against the studios. My hope, though, is that Congress (after the election) sets up the "AI guardrails" the European Union set up. AI can be a useful tool, but it should make human workers lives easier, not replace them altogether.
Writing the script for the last episode of The Simpsons is a tall order, considering the show's long history and cultural impact. It would need to be a blend of heartfelt moments, callbacks to iconic moments, and humor that stays true to the show's spirit. Here’s a rough outline of how a final episode might play out, followed by a sample script for a key scene: The Simpsons: "Springfield Forever" (Final Episode) Episode Outline: Opening: The episode begins with a regular day in Springfield. The Simpson family is sitting at the breakfast table, discussing their usual quirks. Homer is annoyed about work, Marge is concerned about a community event, Bart is planning his next prank, and Lisa is focused on a new intellectual pursuit. Conflict: During a town meeting, Mayor Quimby announces that the government has declared Springfield a "disaster zone" due to years of various incidents (nuclear meltdowns, alien invasions, etc.). As a result, the town might be evacuated permanently. The citizens panic, and a scramble begins to save the town. Resolution: Through a series of comedic attempts to save Springfield, the entire town comes together. The episode features callbacks to classic moments: Mr. Burns attempts to buy the town, Lisa gives a heartfelt speech about the meaning of home, and Bart stages a final prank that hilariously saves the day. Ending: In the end, Springfield is saved by the citizens' quirky, collective efforts. The final scene shows the Simpson family looking out over the town as the sun sets. The family exchanges meaningful words about the importance of home and family, with Homer delivering a classic Homer line to lighten the mood. Sample Script for the Final Scene: INT. SIMPSONS LIVING ROOM - EVENING The Simpson family is sitting on the couch together. The sun is setting outside, casting a warm glow through the windows. MARGE (smiling) Well, it looks like we saved Springfield... again. BART (grinning) Yeah, and I didn’t even get grounded for that stink bomb I set off in the mayor's office. LISA (laughing) Bart, even in the end, you're still causing trouble. HOMER (looking at his family, unusually thoughtful) You know, I complain about this town, but it’s home. No matter what goes wrong, or how many times I screw up, we always manage to make it through... together. MARGE (holding Homer’s hand) That’s because we’re a family, Homie. Bart and Lisa exchange glances, half embarrassed, but smile. LISA (softly) Maybe it's not perfect, but Springfield is special because of the people in it. Every moment here has made us who we are. BART (breaking the sentimentality) Yeah, and plus, where else could you get away with half the stuff we do? Everyone laughs. MAGGIE (sucks pacifier, with a quiet giggle) HOMER (suddenly emotional, wiping away a tear) Aw, look at me, I'm getting all choked up. Must be that Duff I drank earlier. MARGE (teasing) You mean all 12 of them? HOMER (grins) Yeah, that too. The camera zooms out as they sit together, looking content. The iconic saxophone music softly begins in the background as the screen fades to black. CREDITS: After the credits roll, the last frame features the classic chalkboard gag, with Bart writing one last line: BART (VOICEOVER) "Smell ya later, Springfield!" The chalkboard fades, and the classic theme song plays one last time. This script concept aims to tie together the nostalgia, humor, and heart that have defined The Simpsons for decades while giving a sense of closure to the beloved characters and the town of Springfield.
@@Safwaan-s7k Title: The Simpsons - Series Finale: "Springfield: The Final Stand" [Opening Scene] The iconic Simpsons intro plays, but with a dramatic twist. Instead of the usual cheerful theme, a haunting, slower version of the music accompanies the opening. As the camera pans across Springfield, we see a dark, desolate town overrun by zombies. Haitian immigrants, some normal and others transformed into Super Carnivorous Zombies, roam the streets. The once-bright colors of Springfield are faded, the town’s spirit broken. [Cut to the Simpson Household] The family sits at the dinner table, but the mood is somber. Lisa is older, her face hardened and determined. She’s wearing a sharp, far-right politician's suit. Lisa (angrily): "Springfield needs a leader. A strong hand to guide it through this chaos, and that hand is mine!" Homer: "Lisa, sweetie, what happened to you? You used to care about the environment, about people!" Lisa: "People? What people, Dad? Springfield is overrun with Haitian zombies! Someone has to do something!" Marge looks devastated, glancing at Bart, who’s fixing his minibike in the background, oblivious to the argument. Marge: "Lisa, you’ve become so… extreme. What happened to my little girl?" Bart: "Hey, maybe Springfield is Springfield, Ohio. That would explain why it's a dump." The camera zooms out of the house, revealing a sign: "Springfield, Ohio," confirming the long-hidden truth that all of Springfield’s adventures have been in Ohio. [Cut to Springfield Streets] Chaos reigns as regular and Super Carnivorous Zombies storm the town. The streets are filled with destruction. Santa’s Little Helper and Snowball III attempt to flee but are quickly cornered by a group of normal Haitian immigrants who turn into zombies and devour them. Homer (running out of the house): "Nooo! Not the dog and the cat!" Suddenly, Dr. Hibbert is seen running from a horde of Super Zombies. Dr. Hibbert (terrified): "Well, this seems to be the end for me, hehehe... no more chuckles!" He’s cornered and eaten alive by the Super Zombies, who roar in victory. [Cut to Burns Manor] In a strange twist, Mr. Burns is now seen wearing white robes, glowing with an almost holy light. Mr. Burns (to Smithers): "Ah, Smithers, I’ve realized that money can’t buy everything. The world is crumbling, and I must become a beacon of hope, the most righteous man alive." Smithers, looking confused but loyal as ever, follows Mr. Burns, who hands out gold coins to the remaining citizens of Springfield. Mr. Burns: "From this day forward, I shall use my wealth for good! A holy transformation!" [Cut to the Simpson Backyard] Bart is seen riding his minibike, trying to avoid zombies. But as he speeds down the street, he loses control, crashing into a lamppost. The scene freezes in slow motion as Bart is thrown from the bike. Homer (voiceover): "Bart always lived life on the edge. He thought he was invincible… but minibikes… minibikes are dangerous." The camera zooms out as Bart lies motionless on the ground. The family mourns his sudden death. [Scene Cut: Maggie is Kidnapped] Maggie is playing outside when a shadowy figure sneaks up behind her. It’s the infamous SHORTLEG KILLER, a mysterious serial killer that has haunted Springfield for years. Marge: "Maggie? Maggie!! Where are you?" The camera zooms in on Maggie’s pacifier, left behind as the SHORTLEG KILLER disappears into the shadows, leaving the family in shock. [Flash-forward to the Future] Lisa is now an adult, standing on the steps of Springfield's City Hall. She’s won the election and is now mayor of Springfield, Ohio, her dream fulfilled. Lisa (in a speech): "Springfield is my city, and I will restore it to greatness. I’ll stop the zombies, the destruction… and bring Springfield back to its rightful glory!" She raises her fist to the sky, filled with determination as Super Zombies lurk in the background. [Cut to Homer and Marge] Homer and Marge, now older and visibly weary, walk into a sterile clinic. They’re greeted by a nurse who leads them to a futuristic pod labeled DeathPod XR. Marge: "I guess we’re the first ones in Ohio to use this, huh?" Homer: "Yeah, but hey, at least we’re doing this together." They step inside the pod, holding hands as their life slowly fades away. The camera lingers on their peaceful faces as the pod closes. [Cut to Sideshow Bob] Sideshow Bob, having survived the chaos, stands at the airport with a ticket to Germany in hand. Sideshow Bob (monologuing): "After all these years, I thought Bart Simpson was my greatest enemy. But it was this cursed town all along. Off to Germany, where they appreciate a man of my genius." Sideshow Bob boards the plane, looking back one last time. [Cut to Krusty the Clown] Krusty is packing his bags, ready to leave Springfield for Israel. He dons an IDF uniform. Krusty: "Well, Springfield’s gone to hell. Time to become a soldier! Who knew the army could use a clown?" Krusty waves goodbye to his old life and heads off to join the Israeli Defense Forces. [Final Battle: Lisa vs. the Super Zombies] In a climactic battle, Lisa stands alone in the heart of Springfield, fighting off hordes of Super Zombies and normal Haitian zombies. Armed with nothing but her wits and a makeshift weapon, she fends off the attacks, determined to save the city she now governs. Lisa (yelling): "Springfield will rise again!" The battle rages on, but Lisa emerges victorious, standing amidst the chaos, bloodied but triumphant. [Last Scene: Future Springfield, Ohio] Years later, Springfield has been rebuilt under Lisa’s rule. The camera zooms in on an older Lisa, now firmly entrenched as the Mayor of Springfield, Ohio. The town is peaceful, but the scars of the past remain. The screen fades to black, and one final message appears: "Hope. Make America Great Again."
Tbh the series finale is a long time coming. When i read the headlines, my first reaction was "UGH FINALLY!" They should just really end it while they're at it because the whole show is just basically beating a dead horse at this point. Not just a dead horse, a horse that has already decomposed and has turned to bone and ash a long time ago
I wanted to leave my two cents on the episode at the cost of sounding derivative This episode is such a punch in the gut from the show's writers that I'm still caught off guard by how actually far more meta it is compared to its own premise. They've been gradually wrapping up the whole packet since around the last ten seasons now, this episode is just a consequence of a series finally looking back at its legacy and struggling to tell fans that it's time to let go. I still believe it can graciously die on a bittersweet note, like in its sleep. It's genuinely interesting where The Simpsons is heading now in its end of life unbeknownst to most, it really reminds me of why it became a cultural phenomenon in the first place.
@@jcthivierge6623 I won't say that I love this one because it's just so far-fetched from my expectations, but I'm honestly all in on the writers playing a wild card every episode onward. Like fuck it, the show is done, they can do whatever they want with it
I don't like how they have joked about "oh fans were even saying the show used to be better at episode 1". It acknowledges that many people notice a problem with the new Simpsons compared to classic Simpsons but they refuse to do anything to actually take it to heart or address it properly.
@@justamaggot5870 They aren't entirely wrong though, critics of the show from avid fans date back to the very early seasons, still I'm glad that they didn't go in that direction in the episode and that it kind of resolves into a single joke, because who the hell wants to watch a show that shits on its viewers?
@@JaviSocas2My2ndChannel why wouldn't he be? Herb was in an episode a few seasons ago when Homer and Marge were trying to find a guardian for the kids in case something happened to them
3:00 Weird selection, since not all "TV Shows" are created equal in terms of their "last finale". Because it's really only the Sitcoms with no or barely any plot progression (like The Simpsons or Married with Children) that could easily go on forever. Others are bound to come to an end, like Breaking Bad, The Wire, Better Call Saul or Game of Thrones.
Absolutely loved this episode. When I saw Conan’s social media post about watching the episode that day and saw it was the “series finale”, my heart dropped thinking this was the final season (not episode, but definitely thought this was the show was really coming to an end). This was a brilliant episode on what a final episode could be.. and the return of Homer strangling Bart was the icing on the “floor cake”. The writers showed they can return that charm of the Simpsons.
Cool fact: Conan O'Brien went to high school with my aunt. Brookline High in the suburbs of Boston, MA. She said he was a shy and awkrawd teen so to become the world's funniest and most famous man is irony at it's best 😁 Also was shocked to see Selma end up with the "Yesssss!" guy. Thought he was, you know, out loud and proud 😂😂
No, the episode basically just acknowledges that the Simpsons is a sliding timeline where everyone is stuck at the same age and meaningful character development is almost nonexistent.
This was scary because for anyone who’s played The Simpsons Tapped Out for the last TWELVE YEARS, EA just announced that they are ending the game. The servers will go offline in January. They did this three days before the episode, and they usually have events based on the new season.
I can't believe tapped out lasted so long. I was tapped out playing it in 2012. Played it maybe 3 to 6 months. A friend and I had our wives tap our cellphone for like over an hour. It got to the point it went from fun to being tortured.
Yes, i've been playing since the beginning. I was hoping for an annual Halloween event at the beginning of October and instead we got a notice of the game ending :(
@@camerondavila5881 Negative fan reception is the reason why they don't do clip show episodes anymore. Even people who love the earlier Simpsons seasons often don't care about the clip show episodes.
There was an historian from the VIII who said "When the Colliseum fall, Rome will fall. And when Rome fall, the World will fall". I'm beginning to think the same about the "fall" of The Simpson 😅
The show needs to end. Its not a quality issue, its a reality issue. The VAs aren’t young. We’ve lost many of them already. But what are they going to do when one of the main four die? And get mad all you want, but IT WILL HAPPEN. End the show this season. Make yearly or seasonal specials instead. This allows it continue but gives the fans and the studio the out it needs for when one of the main four is unable to continue for any reason. The fans have a series finale and the studio can keep printing money. I haven’t watched every new episode, but I’ve watched a few. Some are good and some aren’t. The show could exist indefinitely that way, sure, but only if Disney AIs the voice actors, AND THEY WILL if we let them. If you AI Homer ad infinitum, them by all means, keep watching and demanding more seasons, because that’s where it leads. Me, i’d rather the actors be allowed to have a grand sense of off and not be digital corpse puppets for eternity.
In Quebec, where the dubbing of the show has reached cult status, that actually happened. We lost the VA playing Homer and the one playing Marge and her family retired a couple of years ago. So yeah, needless to say it got weird...
I can either see 36 being the final season or letting the show get all the way to 40 and ending the show on a high note there, but the ending of tapped out is kind of a sign that simpsons maybe finally coming to a close
I could see an episode like this working around 10-15 years ago. Back when it had been on a long time, but not a huge amount of time. Now it feels like a final episode, should be a final episode and not some joke.
I do wonder how long they will keep going for since the voice actors are getting up there in age and Marge's voice has already been gravel sounding for a while now
I’ve been watching since the first episode aired on Tracy Ulman Show, it’s been my favorite all this time. I have almost every episode on VHS and DVD. I hope they don’t stop. Continue raising the bar. Don’t you just love Ralph?
Dude, I’ve been watching The Simpsons ever since thoroughly 2000 and ever since I could understand when I was five years old, I watched them for years with my uncles, and I absolutely love it, especially the treehouse of horrors! Frankly, I think the Simpsons should go on for a while longer, but still it’s kind of sad. I want to see more treehouse of horrors.
@@SmollRuby nah maybe a character that hasn't thought of and I'll hate all residents of Springfield but then that villain will reject Mr Burns himself to join 😂
I normally can’t watch these episodes until they release them on Disney+ but some RUclipsr was able to upload them and I watched this episode and it was absolutely hilarious
I also love that they reference stuff and bring back like old characters and stuff like that cuz it was really cool seeing all of them including the dead ones I love this episode And also I guess in this one Gil didn't have his happy ending 6:28 Gill deserved his happy ending this ain't fair for him that includes Hans Moleman he deserves better too

Springfield, Ohio? I honestly thought that the Springfield this show is referring is in Oregon since the show’s creator based it on his hometown of Portland, Oregon. Probably why I have a fan-made professional basketball team based on the show (Portland Searchlights).
@@rocketdave719 how can you say it's a parody of Cheers when Community was actually referencing the end of The Mary Tyler Moore Show which was a fever dream at the finale of My mother is a Car.
I was wondering if you have plans on other Simpsons-related videos, would you consider on doing a "Everyone Who’s Ever Moved in the Simpsons home" video involving the Simpsons characters crashing and staying in the Simpson family home (guest stars not included)?
“Yes, the Simpsons have come a long way since an old drunk made humans out of his rabbit characters to pay off his gambling debts. Who knows what adventures they'll have between now and the time the show becomes unprofitable?”
Was Maya in this episode? I feel like in an episode dedicated to the cliche troupe of everybody getting their happy ending; Maya should’ve been there with Moe.
@@eduardopantoja9115 A lot of people are forgetting that EA's contract for Simpsons rights has been rumored to be ending in 2025. Universal's contract is 20 years long (2008 to 2028) and so people think EA's is probably 20 years as well. Since it was signed in 2005, that means it probably ends next year. This lines up with Tapped Out being shutdown in January, 2025. Anyways, those contracts were made before Disney got involved. When Disney bought Fox Studios, that includes any ongoing deals. It's possible that it's Disney that does not want to renew with EA, rather than the other way around. There's more angles to this.
@@eduardopantoja9115it’s a contracted license, it’s entirely possible that it ended and EA wasn’t making as much from it anymore so wasn’t worth it to extend further
To be honest at this point I want a season finale, just like a entire season of the simpsons except the simpsons, like each episode is focused entirely on a side character or a couple side characters and each of them get their good ending or their time because they part of the simpsons show, but I want to make sure the creators of the show also make sure their episodes make sense and stay a bit Canon like a little change, like for Example Homer becomes a better father and husband but he still has his same qualities like his eating habit, this way each character has a fair amount of time to ge their closure without making it feel sped up, and then at the final episode it ends at Christmas focusing on the simpsons family entirely
It’s a big screw the audience joke. What way to subvert expectations by starting with the “end” of the series. I suspect this was meant to end off S35 but writer’s strike happened and we got it as the first.
@@jonathanwerrell3897 there’s 36 seasons and the first one came out in 2007 (17 years ago like you said) and since the Simpsons ended kinda, it would be nice to have a one big movie again
The Simpsons never was one of my favorite shows but it's comforting to know that this show isn't getting cancelled. I was born in 1993 and growing up I'm used to this cartoon being around
I last remember seeing Simpsons on TV when visiting my father a year or two ago, and it was only on because he'd fallen asleep while watching sports. We'd all been avid viewers in earlier years, now I don't know anyone who still watches, and wouldn't have known about the episode at all without an unusual RUclips recommendation. This show has declined in relevance for so long, I'd rather they have cleaned up this episode and made it a real ending. Risks that could cause an abrupt stop worsen nearly every year, so why do they continue?
I love when John Cena pops up as a weird cameo or does a cartoon voice. Loved him in Rise of the TMNT as Draxum (until they recast him in the abrupt second season) and also loved him as Rocksteady in Mutant Mayhem.
This show will always be one of the biggest parts of my childhood and beyond. Certain episodes bring back some of the best memories I have ever had. All good things must come to an end.
I love The Simpsons but I definitely think it should end, because everything good must eventually come to an end. Having said that I love that the show has embraced the meta of being a show that's gone on absurdly long and is basically a full sci-fi fantasy at this point.
Uncle herb returning is probably the best part of the episode for me I love the character and I miss him appearing I think he was only in like 3 episodes
"Is This The FINAL Episode of The Simpsons?" Oh God, I hope so. No, because I hate the Simpsons, but because I hate how a show that allegedly lost its vision is allowed to stay on while other new shows are canceled after one season.
Actually Matt Grading does have plans for him.... they just need the right actor. Also the report of removing him was confirmed to be not true years ago. The only reason we haven't seen him outside of cameos is because his original actor left out of guilt.
I loved The Simpsons when they aired this in the Philippines in 1991 on RPN 9 better known as New Vision 9. Is great and very funny. I'm gonna miss The Simpsons 🙁
With the closure of The Simpsons Tapped Out, it wouldn't surprise me if they were ending the show. And because they have literally covered everything, it wouldn't shock me if the ACTUAL season finale was at the end of this season.
Bout time!😊
There's a season finale at the end of EVERY season...😂

The show premiered about 2 and a half months before my third birthday. I remember finding it amusing when I was in fourth grade and 10 like Bart. I'm now older than Homer was in the first 7 or so seasons (since they kept aging him up).
they just announced they’re renewing the Simpsons for season 37 lol
@@AlexeBriand2002 Wait… is that true? Or are you pulling our legs?
It’s scary to think that the people who watched the show in the 90s are now the same age as Homer and Marge.(Thanks for all the likes.”
It's crazy when you put it into perspective like that. Like the Simpsons had been around for over 10 years before I was even born and now I'm a full grown adult watching these videos
Or older.
You didn't specify how old they have to be in the 90s
90s adults will be even older
Damn 5 years off 38 (iirc homer's age). Still a huge fan. Time does fly
Actually homer and marge are 69
Took 36 years for Bart to turn 11
Didn’t he turn 12 in a different episode?
meanwhile ash is still 10 after 27 years
He didn’t turn 11 he woke up and it was a dream lol
Time reset itself and as he was about to blow the candles he discovered the number 10 with his face in the cake.

SHORT ANSWER: No, The Simpsons hasn't really ended. The show tricked fans by airing an episode that seemed like a series finale, but it was just a prank. Everything went back to normal by the end, and the show is still continuing.
Who honestly gives a fuck anymore? Who has given a fuck about anything the Simpsons have done in the past 10 to 15 years?
This isn't the first time we got an episode we suspected may be the series finale. There was also "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind" way back in season 19. The ending featured the words "The End" on the back of the cruise ship and a dinghy with a question mark on it. "Holidays of Future Passed" from season 23 was also written as a potential series finale in the event the show ended.
Also this episode was apparently a season premiere
@@YaBoiBrendo then why are you watching a video about the simpsons by a channel with content primarily geared towards the simpsons? 💀
Too late
They should end it before a major voice actor in the family dies. It would be worse to end it abruptly. They can choose to go out with everyone smiling and alive
In germany our voice actor of Marge already died years ago.
It would be so disrespectful for one of the voice actors giving near 40 years of their life to a show only to die and not be able to see how it ends
Marge's VA has been losing her voice for years and we don't know how long Julie Kavner can handle it until she can't talk anymore.
I've been saying similar things about that for this show for a long time. Some voice actors of this show died as years passed and with how long this show has gone on for. All these voice actors aren't going to live forever and if any of the voice actors of the show, be it a minor or major one, were to pass on, what are they going to do then? Replace them with someone else or just write them out as dead and never make an appearance again but only be mentioned and appear in flashbacks through clips. It would be better for the show to conclude while everyone who voices the characters are still alive then it would to have it end abruptly when a voice actor of one of the major characters passed on. Same can be said for some animated shows that are still going. I'm surprised that they haven't ran out of ideas for more new episodes and seasons.
They would replace the actors, because in SpongeBob, the creator died, but they kept the show on.. and on.
I love how Tom Hanks actually voiced himself and Danny DeVito actually returned to voice Herb. Not surprised at Cena since he loves voicing and making fun of himself, just look at the Oscars this year.

Right? It's like all these comments are coming from a vacuum lol. Did anyone watch the video? or the episode? or realize there's more episodes slated for this season like you said?
Even before watching the video, as someone that hasn't watched the show for years, it clearly wasn't ending. You don't start a new season with the series finale because, as you say, there's clearly more episodes to come after it.
there’s no confirmation of another season after this one, which is fueling a huge amount of speculation that is justified here

I’m actually glad the show is not ending. I lost my brother recently and we used to watch the Simpsons together so much!! I hadn’t watched it properly since he passed as it was a huge comfort show. As hard as it may be watching it on my own now. I am so glad they have a new season.
It would not shock me if the show does end this season and this was a hint to that. I tihink the last Ep ever well be a Christmas EP this show started with one on December 17, 1989 with Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire,
Ending with one would be them coming full circle plus if this season is full of more call backs I think it is another a good hint again that its over the Tree House EP well be telling, if it feels like an early seasons one,

Writing the script for the last episode of The Simpsons is a tall order, considering the show's long history and cultural impact. It would need to be a blend of heartfelt moments, callbacks to iconic moments, and humor that stays true to the show's spirit. Here’s a rough outline of how a final episode might play out, followed by a sample script for a key scene:
The Simpsons: "Springfield Forever" (Final Episode)
Episode Outline:
Opening: The episode begins with a regular day in Springfield. The Simpson family is sitting at the breakfast table, discussing their usual quirks. Homer is annoyed about work, Marge is concerned about a community event, Bart is planning his next prank, and Lisa is focused on a new intellectual pursuit.
Conflict: During a town meeting, Mayor Quimby announces that the government has declared Springfield a "disaster zone" due to years of various incidents (nuclear meltdowns, alien invasions, etc.). As a result, the town might be evacuated permanently. The citizens panic, and a scramble begins to save the town.
Resolution: Through a series of comedic attempts to save Springfield, the entire town comes together. The episode features callbacks to classic moments: Mr. Burns attempts to buy the town, Lisa gives a heartfelt speech about the meaning of home, and Bart stages a final prank that hilariously saves the day.
Ending: In the end, Springfield is saved by the citizens' quirky, collective efforts. The final scene shows the Simpson family looking out over the town as the sun sets. The family exchanges meaningful words about the importance of home and family, with Homer delivering a classic Homer line to lighten the mood.
Sample Script for the Final Scene:
INT. SIMPSONS LIVING ROOM - EVENING
The Simpson family is sitting on the couch together. The sun is setting outside, casting a warm glow through the windows.
MARGE
(smiling)
Well, it looks like we saved Springfield... again.
BART
(grinning)
Yeah, and I didn’t even get grounded for that stink bomb I set off in the mayor's office.
LISA
(laughing)
Bart, even in the end, you're still causing trouble.
HOMER
(looking at his family, unusually thoughtful)
You know, I complain about this town, but it’s home. No matter what goes wrong, or how many times I screw up, we always manage to make it through... together.
MARGE
(holding Homer’s hand)
That’s because we’re a family, Homie.
Bart and Lisa exchange glances, half embarrassed, but smile.
LISA
(softly)
Maybe it's not perfect, but Springfield is special because of the people in it. Every moment here has made us who we are.
BART
(breaking the sentimentality)
Yeah, and plus, where else could you get away with half the stuff we do?
Everyone laughs.
MAGGIE
(sucks pacifier, with a quiet giggle)
HOMER
(suddenly emotional, wiping away a tear)
Aw, look at me, I'm getting all choked up. Must be that Duff I drank earlier.
MARGE
(teasing)
You mean all 12 of them?
HOMER
(grins)
Yeah, that too.
The camera zooms out as they sit together, looking content. The iconic saxophone music softly begins in the background as the screen fades to black.
CREDITS:
After the credits roll, the last frame features the classic chalkboard gag, with Bart writing one last line:
BART (VOICEOVER)
"Smell ya later, Springfield!"
The chalkboard fades, and the classic theme song plays one last time.
This script concept aims to tie together the nostalgia, humor, and heart that have defined The Simpsons for decades while giving a sense of closure to the beloved characters and the town of Springfield.

The AI made a worse episode
@@Safwaan-s7k Title: The Simpsons - Series Finale: "Springfield: The Final Stand"
[Opening Scene]
The iconic Simpsons intro plays, but with a dramatic twist. Instead of the usual cheerful theme, a haunting, slower version of the music accompanies the opening. As the camera pans across Springfield, we see a dark, desolate town overrun by zombies. Haitian immigrants, some normal and others transformed into Super Carnivorous Zombies, roam the streets. The once-bright colors of Springfield are faded, the town’s spirit broken.
[Cut to the Simpson Household]
The family sits at the dinner table, but the mood is somber. Lisa is older, her face hardened and determined. She’s wearing a sharp, far-right politician's suit.
Lisa (angrily):
"Springfield needs a leader. A strong hand to guide it through this chaos, and that hand is mine!"
Homer:
"Lisa, sweetie, what happened to you? You used to care about the environment, about people!"
Lisa:
"People? What people, Dad? Springfield is overrun with Haitian zombies! Someone has to do something!"
Marge looks devastated, glancing at Bart, who’s fixing his minibike in the background, oblivious to the argument.
Marge:
"Lisa, you’ve become so… extreme. What happened to my little girl?"
Bart:
"Hey, maybe Springfield is Springfield, Ohio. That would explain why it's a dump."
The camera zooms out of the house, revealing a sign: "Springfield, Ohio," confirming the long-hidden truth that all of Springfield’s adventures have been in Ohio.
[Cut to Springfield Streets]
Chaos reigns as regular and Super Carnivorous Zombies storm the town. The streets are filled with destruction. Santa’s Little Helper and Snowball III attempt to flee but are quickly cornered by a group of normal Haitian immigrants who turn into zombies and devour them.
Homer (running out of the house):
"Nooo! Not the dog and the cat!"
Suddenly, Dr. Hibbert is seen running from a horde of Super Zombies.
Dr. Hibbert (terrified):
"Well, this seems to be the end for me, hehehe... no more chuckles!"
He’s cornered and eaten alive by the Super Zombies, who roar in victory.
[Cut to Burns Manor]
In a strange twist, Mr. Burns is now seen wearing white robes, glowing with an almost holy light.
Mr. Burns (to Smithers):
"Ah, Smithers, I’ve realized that money can’t buy everything. The world is crumbling, and I must become a beacon of hope, the most righteous man alive."
Smithers, looking confused but loyal as ever, follows Mr. Burns, who hands out gold coins to the remaining citizens of Springfield.
Mr. Burns:
"From this day forward, I shall use my wealth for good! A holy transformation!"
[Cut to the Simpson Backyard]
Bart is seen riding his minibike, trying to avoid zombies. But as he speeds down the street, he loses control, crashing into a lamppost. The scene freezes in slow motion as Bart is thrown from the bike.
Homer (voiceover):
"Bart always lived life on the edge. He thought he was invincible… but minibikes… minibikes are dangerous."
The camera zooms out as Bart lies motionless on the ground. The family mourns his sudden death.
[Scene Cut: Maggie is Kidnapped]
Maggie is playing outside when a shadowy figure sneaks up behind her. It’s the infamous SHORTLEG KILLER, a mysterious serial killer that has haunted Springfield for years.
Marge:
"Maggie? Maggie!! Where are you?"
The camera zooms in on Maggie’s pacifier, left behind as the SHORTLEG KILLER disappears into the shadows, leaving the family in shock.
[Flash-forward to the Future]
Lisa is now an adult, standing on the steps of Springfield's City Hall. She’s won the election and is now mayor of Springfield, Ohio, her dream fulfilled.
Lisa (in a speech):
"Springfield is my city, and I will restore it to greatness. I’ll stop the zombies, the destruction… and bring Springfield back to its rightful glory!"
She raises her fist to the sky, filled with determination as Super Zombies lurk in the background.
[Cut to Homer and Marge]
Homer and Marge, now older and visibly weary, walk into a sterile clinic. They’re greeted by a nurse who leads them to a futuristic pod labeled DeathPod XR.
Marge:
"I guess we’re the first ones in Ohio to use this, huh?"
Homer:
"Yeah, but hey, at least we’re doing this together."
They step inside the pod, holding hands as their life slowly fades away. The camera lingers on their peaceful faces as the pod closes.
[Cut to Sideshow Bob]
Sideshow Bob, having survived the chaos, stands at the airport with a ticket to Germany in hand.
Sideshow Bob (monologuing):
"After all these years, I thought Bart Simpson was my greatest enemy. But it was this cursed town all along. Off to Germany, where they appreciate a man of my genius."
Sideshow Bob boards the plane, looking back one last time.
[Cut to Krusty the Clown]
Krusty is packing his bags, ready to leave Springfield for Israel. He dons an IDF uniform.
Krusty:
"Well, Springfield’s gone to hell. Time to become a soldier! Who knew the army could use a clown?"
Krusty waves goodbye to his old life and heads off to join the Israeli Defense Forces.
[Final Battle: Lisa vs. the Super Zombies]
In a climactic battle, Lisa stands alone in the heart of Springfield, fighting off hordes of Super Zombies and normal Haitian zombies. Armed with nothing but her wits and a makeshift weapon, she fends off the attacks, determined to save the city she now governs.
Lisa (yelling):
"Springfield will rise again!"
The battle rages on, but Lisa emerges victorious, standing amidst the chaos, bloodied but triumphant.
[Last Scene: Future Springfield, Ohio]
Years later, Springfield has been rebuilt under Lisa’s rule. The camera zooms in on an older Lisa, now firmly entrenched as the Mayor of Springfield, Ohio. The town is peaceful, but the scars of the past remain.
The screen fades to black, and one final message appears:
"Hope. Make America Great Again."
"Write an ending episode of The Simpsons" ahh comment 😭🙏
Tbh the series finale is a long time coming. When i read the headlines, my first reaction was "UGH FINALLY!" They should just really end it while they're at it because the whole show is just basically beating a dead horse at this point. Not just a dead horse, a horse that has already decomposed and has turned to bone and ash a long time ago
I wanted to leave my two cents on the episode at the cost of sounding derivative
This episode is such a punch in the gut from the show's writers that I'm still caught off guard by how actually far more meta it is compared to its own premise. They've been gradually wrapping up the whole packet since around the last ten seasons now, this episode is just a consequence of a series finally looking back at its legacy and struggling to tell fans that it's time to let go. I still believe it can graciously die on a bittersweet note, like in its sleep. It's genuinely interesting where The Simpsons is heading now in its end of life unbeknownst to most, it really reminds me of why it became a cultural phenomenon in the first place.
Oh my god, glad to be on the same wavelength as Johnny2Cellos because I was honestly jarred
i really think its the best episode of the past 10 seasons
@@jcthivierge6623 I won't say that I love this one because it's just so far-fetched from my expectations, but I'm honestly all in on the writers playing a wild card every episode onward. Like fuck it, the show is done, they can do whatever they want with it
I don't like how they have joked about "oh fans were even saying the show used to be better at episode 1". It acknowledges that many people notice a problem with the new Simpsons compared to classic Simpsons but they refuse to do anything to actually take it to heart or address it properly.
@@justamaggot5870 They aren't entirely wrong though, critics of the show from avid fans date back to the very early seasons, still I'm glad that they didn't go in that direction in the episode and that it kind of resolves into a single joke, because who the hell wants to watch a show that shits on its viewers?
9:46 Awesome that Danny DeVito returned to voice Herb for that brief scene
Surprise he's still alive in this episode.
@@JaviSocas2My2ndChannel why wouldn't he be? Herb was in an episode a few seasons ago when Homer and Marge were trying to find a guardian for the kids in case something happened to them
i gotta be real this probably would have been the perfect series finale
Yes😅😅😅
3:00 Weird selection, since not all "TV Shows" are created equal in terms of their "last finale".
Because it's really only the Sitcoms with no or barely any plot progression (like The Simpsons or Married with Children) that could easily go on forever.
Others are bound to come to an end, like Breaking Bad, The Wire, Better Call Saul or Game of Thrones.
Absolutely loved this episode. When I saw Conan’s social media post about watching the episode that day and saw it was the “series finale”, my heart dropped thinking this was the final season (not episode, but definitely thought this was the show was really coming to an end). This was a brilliant episode on what a final episode could be.. and the return of Homer strangling Bart was the icing on the “floor cake”. The writers showed they can return that charm of the Simpsons.
literally just came to your channel to see if you covered this! 2 minutes, my intuition was pretty spot on!
Cool fact: Conan O'Brien went to high school with my aunt. Brookline High in the suburbs of Boston, MA. She said he was a shy and awkrawd teen so to become the world's funniest and most famous man is irony at it's best 😁
Also was shocked to see Selma end up with the "Yesssss!" guy. Thought he was, you know, out loud and proud 😂😂
So Bart Simpson is 11 years old now? Took them long enough. He’s been 10 longer than I’ve been alive
But he's back to ten at the end of the episode it's a like a alternative universe episode
No, the episode basically just acknowledges that the Simpsons is a sliding timeline where everyone is stuck at the same age and meaningful character development is almost nonexistent.
Should be 1 year every 5 year
Me too
This was scary because for anyone who’s played The Simpsons Tapped Out for the last TWELVE YEARS, EA just announced that they are ending the game. The servers will go offline in January. They did this three days before the episode, and they usually have events based on the new season.
Facts 👍
Of course EA is involved 🤬
I can't believe tapped out lasted so long. I was tapped out playing it in 2012. Played it maybe 3 to 6 months. A friend and I had our wives tap our cellphone for like over an hour. It got to the point it went from fun to being tortured.

HERB IS IN THE EPISODE IM GOING TO CRY
There was so many in the Episode that passed away, or never talked about again.. like Lisa's substitute teacher.
There was an historian from the VIII who said "When the Colliseum fall, Rome will fall. And when Rome fall, the World will fall". I'm beginning to think the same about the "fall" of The Simpson 😅
I mean the guy kind of was right, Rome was like modern day America, and if America fell today, the world system would be destroyed.
OK.. that dude turning off the tyre fire with a light switch was low-key hilarious 😂
It was honestly so nice seeing Apu back, I missed seeing him in the series. (And ICYMI he's in the background at Bart's party.)
The show needs to end. Its not a quality issue, its a reality issue.
The VAs aren’t young. We’ve lost many of them already. But what are they going to do when one of the main four die? And get mad all you want, but IT WILL HAPPEN.
End the show this season. Make yearly or seasonal specials instead. This allows it continue but gives the fans and the studio the out it needs for when one of the main four is unable to continue for any reason. The fans have a series finale and the studio can keep printing money.
I haven’t watched every new episode, but I’ve watched a few. Some are good and some aren’t. The show could exist indefinitely that way, sure, but only if Disney AIs the voice actors, AND THEY WILL if we let them.
If you AI Homer ad infinitum, them by all means, keep watching and demanding more seasons, because that’s where it leads. Me, i’d rather the actors be allowed to have a grand sense of off and not be digital corpse puppets for eternity.
they'll pull a Rick and Morty and replace the VAs with similar sounding VAs
y'know, that yearly/seasonal specials thing sounds like a pretty good idea
In Quebec, where the dubbing of the show has reached cult status, that actually happened. We lost the VA playing Homer and the one playing Marge and her family retired a couple of years ago. So yeah, needless to say it got weird...
Maybe write a letter to them about that.
Marge is genuinely difficult to listen to at this point
I can either see 36 being the final season or letting the show get all the way to 40 and ending the show on a high note there, but the ending of tapped out is kind of a sign that simpsons maybe finally coming to a close
Actually I think it may be that the lisence agreement is expiring next year.

I just read a news article online that they're are working on Season 37, so season 36 isn't the last season. The Simpsons aren't ending.
I also love that they reference stuff and bring back like old characters and stuff like that cuz it was really cool seeing all of them including the dead ones
I love this episode
And also I guess in this one Gil didn't have his happy ending 6:28 Gill deserved his happy ending this ain't fair for him that includes Hans Moleman he deserves better too
Title: The Simpsons - Series Finale: "Springfield: The Final Stand"
[Opening Scene]
The iconic Simpsons intro plays, but with a dramatic twist. Instead of the usual cheerful theme, a haunting, slower version of the music accompanies the opening. As the camera pans across Springfield, we see a dark, desolate town overrun by zombies. Haitian immigrants, some normal and others transformed into Super Carnivorous Zombies, roam the streets. The once-bright colors of Springfield are faded, the town’s spirit broken.
[Cut to the Simpson Household]
The family sits at the dinner table, but the mood is somber. Lisa is older, her face hardened and determined. She’s wearing a sharp, far-right politician's suit.
Lisa (angrily):
"Springfield needs a leader. A strong hand to guide it through this chaos, and that hand is mine!"
Homer:
"Lisa, sweetie, what happened to you? You used to care about the environment, about people!"
Lisa:
"People? What people, Dad? Springfield is overrun with Haitian zombies! Someone has to do something!"
Marge looks devastated, glancing at Bart, who’s fixing his minibike in the background, oblivious to the argument.
Marge:
"Lisa, you’ve become so… extreme. What happened to my little girl?"
Bart:
"Hey, maybe Springfield is Springfield, Ohio. That would explain why it's a dump."
The camera zooms out of the house, revealing a sign: "Springfield, Ohio," confirming the long-hidden truth that all of Springfield’s adventures have been in Ohio.
[Cut to Springfield Streets]
Chaos reigns as regular and Super Carnivorous Zombies storm the town. The streets are filled with destruction. Santa’s Little Helper and Snowball III attempt to flee but are quickly cornered by a group of normal Haitian immigrants who turn into zombies and devour them.
Homer (running out of the house):
"Nooo! Not the dog and the cat!"
Suddenly, Dr. Hibbert is seen running from a horde of Super Zombies.
Dr. Hibbert (terrified):
"Well, this seems to be the end for me, hehehe... no more chuckles!"
He’s cornered and eaten alive by the Super Zombies, who roar in victory.
[Cut to Burns Manor]
In a strange twist, Mr. Burns is now seen wearing white robes, glowing with an almost holy light.
Mr. Burns (to Smithers):
"Ah, Smithers, I’ve realized that money can’t buy everything. The world is crumbling, and I must become a beacon of hope, the most righteous man alive."
Smithers, looking confused but loyal as ever, follows Mr. Burns, who hands out gold coins to the remaining citizens of Springfield.
Mr. Burns:
"From this day forward, I shall use my wealth for good! A holy transformation!"
[Cut to the Simpson Backyard]
Bart is seen riding his minibike, trying to avoid zombies. But as he speeds down the street, he loses control, crashing into a lamppost. The scene freezes in slow motion as Bart is thrown from the bike.
Homer (voiceover):
"Bart always lived life on the edge. He thought he was invincible… but minibikes… minibikes are dangerous."
The camera zooms out as Bart lies motionless on the ground. The family mourns his sudden death.
[Scene Cut: Maggie is Kidnapped]
Maggie is playing outside when a shadowy figure sneaks up behind her. It’s the infamous SHORTLEG KILLER, a mysterious serial killer that has haunted Springfield for years.
Marge:
"Maggie? Maggie!! Where are you?"
The camera zooms in on Maggie’s pacifier, left behind as the SHORTLEG KILLER disappears into the shadows, leaving the family in shock.
[Flash-forward to the Future]
Lisa is now an adult, standing on the steps of Springfield's City Hall. She’s won the election and is now mayor of Springfield, Ohio, her dream fulfilled.
Lisa (in a speech):
"Springfield is my city, and I will restore it to greatness. I’ll stop the zombies, the destruction… and bring Springfield back to its rightful glory!"
She raises her fist to the sky, filled with determination as Super Zombies lurk in the background.
[Cut to Homer and Marge]
Homer and Marge, now older and visibly weary, walk into a sterile clinic. They’re greeted by a nurse who leads them to a futuristic pod labeled DeathPod XR.
Marge:
"I guess we’re the first ones in Ohio to use this, huh?"
Homer:
"Yeah, but hey, at least we’re doing this together."
They step inside the pod, holding hands as their life slowly fades away. The camera lingers on their peaceful faces as the pod closes.
[Cut to Sideshow Bob]
Sideshow Bob, having survived the chaos, stands at the airport with a ticket to Germany in hand.
Sideshow Bob (monologuing):
"After all these years, I thought Bart Simpson was my greatest enemy. But it was this cursed town all along. Off to Germany, where they appreciate a man of my genius."
Sideshow Bob boards the plane, looking back one last time.
[Cut to Krusty the Clown]
Krusty is packing his bags, ready to leave Springfield for Israel. He dons an IDF uniform.
Krusty:
"Well, Springfield’s gone to hell. Time to become a soldier! Who knew the army could use a clown?"
Krusty waves goodbye to his old life and heads off to join the Israeli Defense Forces.
[Final Battle: Lisa vs. the Super Zombies]
In a climactic battle, Lisa stands alone in the heart of Springfield, fighting off hordes of Super Zombies and normal Haitian zombies. Armed with nothing but her wits and a makeshift weapon, she fends off the attacks, determined to save the city she now governs.
Lisa (yelling):
"Springfield will rise again!"
The battle rages on, but Lisa emerges victorious, standing amidst the chaos, bloodied but triumphant.
[Last Scene: Future Springfield, Ohio]
Years later, Springfield has been rebuilt under Lisa’s rule. The camera zooms in on an older Lisa, now firmly entrenched as the Mayor of Springfield, Ohio. The town is peaceful, but the scars of the past remain.
The screen fades to black, and one final message appears:
"Hope. Make America Great Again."
The distorted, haunting version of the classic Simpsons theme plays slowly as the episode comes to a close.
[End of Series]
The credits roll, accompanied by an eerie, quiet version of the familiar Simpsons tune. The saga of Springfield has come to an unexpected and shocking end.
Springfield, Ohio? I honestly thought that the Springfield this show is referring is in Oregon since the show’s creator based it on his hometown of Portland, Oregon. Probably why I have a fan-made professional basketball team based on the show (Portland Searchlights).
How can you say this is referencing Community when that was, itself, a parody of Cheers?
How can you say it was a parody of Cheers when Community was actually referencing the end of The Mary Tyler Moore Show?
@@rocketdave719 how can you say it's a parody of Cheers when Community was actually referencing the end of The Mary Tyler Moore Show which was a fever dream at the finale of My mother is a Car.
Younger people not knowing the classics
This thread reads like a Simpsons gag.
I was wondering if you have plans on other Simpsons-related videos, would you consider on doing a "Everyone Who’s Ever Moved in the Simpsons home" video involving the Simpsons characters crashing and staying in the Simpson family home (guest stars not included)?
Bart broke several fourth walls in this episode
This video is on 43 on trending! Good job!
1:18 in the intro to his last TBS episode he meets Homer so that may count
“Yes, the Simpsons have come a long way since an old drunk made humans out of his rabbit characters to pay off his gambling debts. Who knows what adventures they'll have between now and the time the show becomes unprofitable?”
Was Maya in this episode? I feel like in an episode dedicated to the cliche troupe of everybody getting their happy ending; Maya should’ve been there with Moe.
she was not
With Simpsons Tapped Out being discontinued, I think it's safe to say the Simpsons are done.
I agree EA would never let a cash cow die unless they can't make any more content
@@eduardopantoja9115 A lot of people are forgetting that EA's contract for Simpsons rights has been rumored to be ending in 2025. Universal's contract is 20 years long (2008 to 2028) and so people think EA's is probably 20 years as well. Since it was signed in 2005, that means it probably ends next year. This lines up with Tapped Out being shutdown in January, 2025. Anyways, those contracts were made before Disney got involved. When Disney bought Fox Studios, that includes any ongoing deals. It's possible that it's Disney that does not want to renew with EA, rather than the other way around. There's more angles to this.
@@TheOvieShow oh ok
@@eduardopantoja9115it’s a contracted license, it’s entirely possible that it ended and EA wasn’t making as much from it anymore so wasn’t worth it to extend further
@@TheOvieShowmy thoughts exactly, their contract was up and despite appearances the game isn’t making as much money as fans believe
The Sequel to The Simpsons Movie will be the True Series Finale, that's what I'm waiting for at this point.
That could work.
To be honest at this point I want a season finale, just like a entire season of the simpsons except the simpsons, like each episode is focused entirely on a side character or a couple side characters and each of them get their good ending or their time because they part of the simpsons show, but I want to make sure the creators of the show also make sure their episodes make sense and stay a bit Canon like a little change, like for Example Homer becomes a better father and husband but he still has his same qualities like his eating habit, this way each character has a fair amount of time to ge their closure without making it feel sped up, and then at the final episode it ends at Christmas focusing on the simpsons family entirely
This has to be a stunt, it can’t be over…
It’s a big screw the audience joke. What way to subvert expectations by starting with the “end” of the series.
I suspect this was meant to end off S35 but writer’s strike happened and we got it as the first.
What, you all wanted it
@@rayvenkman2087that’s what the Wiki said.
They would never kill off this show
@@_MyNameIsAJ_ fr
makes too much money
A small part doesn’t believe this is the finale mostly because I’ve seen stuff that have the word finale in the title and it was never the finale
A season premiere that is a series “finale” sounds like a joke Conan O’Brien would make and by golly, he went for it.
The first Episode of Red Dwarf was called The End.
@@TerrickTerran Yes but that wasn't referring to the end of the series.
They are also pulling the plug on the game app " The Simpsons Tapped Out " Jan 24th 2025 it is game over...
And it will be unavaiable for download on Oct 31
So if you delete after Halloween, you can't play it anymore
Well, then… sounds like they’ll have to make a new game based on the Simpsons. Or perhaps rerelease an old game, maybe…?
Ohhhhh....
@@TheDMan2003 I think that they should make a new version of Simpsons: Hit & Run game
@@Lennukas Well, duh!
That's really the saddest episode I've ever seen! 😢😭
it would be cool to see them continue to break the 4th wall like this again
6:49 This is literally the exact same music that my middle school plays as warning that you are almost late 💀💀💀💀💀💀
We need another Simpson movie (a proper movie)
Yeah
And actually end Simpsons
It took 18 years to get the first movie. The movie came out 17 years ago. It is freaky...
@@jonathanwerrell3897
there’s 36 seasons and the first one came out in 2007 (17 years ago like you said) and since the Simpsons ended kinda, it would be nice to have a one big movie again
The show is finally ending? Finally it’s time to put it to rest
4:45 SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
They should not end it. People complain and once it's gone will regret it. Thank you for this. So positive and I enjoyed it. Thank you
I love the Simpsons but it has gone on too long
@3:50 would have been funny if they referenced the Skinner and Wiggum spinoff from the Troy McClure Spectacular list of failed spinoffs
I hope not but we can't be so unsure
The Simpsons never was one of my favorite shows but it's comforting to know that this show isn't getting cancelled. I was born in 1993 and growing up I'm used to this cartoon being around
I last remember seeing Simpsons on TV when visiting my father a year or two ago, and it was only on because he'd fallen asleep while watching sports. We'd all been avid viewers in earlier years, now I don't know anyone who still watches, and wouldn't have known about the episode at all without an unusual RUclips recommendation. This show has declined in relevance for so long, I'd rather they have cleaned up this episode and made it a real ending. Risks that could cause an abrupt stop worsen nearly every year, so why do they continue?
8:53 when something special goes horibbly wrong
They'll Never Stop The Simpsons!
Admit it, you sang this when you wrote it 😂
have no fear we've got stories for years
@@EBThisThat It's True I Did!
Have no fears! They've got stories for years!
When I seen season finale I was saying to myself can't end like this
Scared the shit out of me. About to watch the new episode 36 times on Hulu so disney never cancels it 😂
A Dead Bart retake for Treehouse of Horror would be the cherry on top
There is no way that this is how they end the Simpsons 😢 never mind AI is weird
don't think AI was actually used. Just mimiced how it would by doing perfect happy hallow endinds to thing
No way I seen John Cena us brawl stars qnd now is the Simpsons finale it's crazy
I love when John Cena pops up as a weird cameo or does a cartoon voice. Loved him in Rise of the TMNT as Draxum (until they recast him in the abrupt second season) and also loved him as Rocksteady in Mutant Mayhem.
I loved John Cena from that penguin surfing movie
I enjoyed him as a Back Rooms Monster
I hope not
This show will always be one of the biggest parts of my childhood and beyond. Certain episodes bring back some of the best memories I have ever had. All good things must come to an end.
I love The Simpsons but I definitely think it should end, because everything good must eventually come to an end. Having said that I love that the show has embraced the meta of being a show that's gone on absurdly long and is basically a full sci-fi fantasy at this point.
The Simpsons really finished in 2007.
4:57 Thats John Cena? His hair is way too thick lol
That ain't no John Cena. That's Lou Freno (first TV Hulk) with in a younger body
Well, could we still get another feature-length theatrical film soon? You know, a Simpsons Movie 2.
The Man Who Came To Be Dinner was the closest we could get.
The show’s over
@@ShockwaveFPSStudios Regardless of whether or not that's true, that doesn't mean we can't have a sequel movie.
What are you talking about? This is the final episode. The show’s done
@@ShockwaveFPSStudios That still doesn't mean another theatrical movie won't come out.
Uncle herb returning is probably the best part of the episode for me I love the character and I miss him appearing I think he was only in like 3 episodes
King-Size Homer nuking Springfield made me laugh like I was actually watching a classic episode. The perfect timing of it.
"Is This The FINAL Episode of The Simpsons?"
Oh God, I hope so. No, because I hate the Simpsons, but because I hate how a show that allegedly lost its vision is allowed to stay on while other new shows are canceled after one season.
I do honestly hate the strangulation gags like it's now a overused running gag
Bring back Apu‼️‼️‼️‼️
Actually Matt Grading does have plans for him.... they just need the right actor. Also the report of removing him was confirmed to be not true years ago. The only reason we haven't seen him outside of cameos is because his original actor left out of guilt.
@@disneyboy3030 the original actor (Hank Azaria) didn't leave. He's still on the show, he just didn't want to voice Apu anymore
Nooooooo oh man I wish the simpsons was never over I wish it can still keep going and going and going forever🥺
I agree with you, i like soo much the simpsons😢
Didn’t you see the video it was not real.
I just saw the episode and it reminded me of the OK KO series finale "Thank you for watching the show"
I loved The Simpsons when they aired this in the Philippines in 1991 on RPN 9 better known as New Vision 9. Is great and very funny. I'm gonna miss The Simpsons 🙁
