So unfortunately we have had episodes where Moe gets a cellphone, Bart owns a bear and Grandpa marries Selma. Bit sad when the meta-commentary on themselves becomes real.
There's an episode where they have an alexa who did all the chores of the house but it has a digital AI copy of Marge. Another where Artie Ziff made an android of Marge and married he. So Marge did become a robot and for crazy wedding there are so many!
True. The rhythm is kinda crap, lyrics aren't very good, all in all a terrible song. But the KEY is amazing! Can't get enough of that key it's in... _(guess I forgot to put the fog lights in)_
I always remembered this when they said "have no fears we've got stories for years" "when...Marge becomes a robot". But I have never seen Marge become a robot lol
This, in my opinion, is the EXACT moment where the show stops being good. There's no way of coming back after a song that's so up-its-own-arse, even when it's done ironically like it is here.

The Simpsons was such a charming show back then that even when it finally knew it was going to start sucking they were still honest enough to tell you in a cutesy and funny way instead of trying to hide it.
I don't wanna hear anyone say "The Simpsons don't predict the future it's all a coincidence" No!, this episode predicted the next 21 years of non stop Simpsons and now they got renewed for 2 more seasons
I thought this song was from the late 90s, like around Season 8 or something, shocked it's from Season 13. Shows that even after the golden years, the show still has some cleverness to its writing.
people thought it was just a meta tounge in cheek joke, turns out it was both a prophecy and a threat. if the simpsons aged normally like irl, maggie should be 33 years old now, meaning that she'll be only 1 year younger than her dad homer
when i saw this, back in '84 (at least it feels like 1000 years ago), me still something like a child, was astonished from the sheer outlook into the future. how mundane it will be, episode after episode, this will be my life till i die. One moment, like Bart when he looked into the future, but not able to grab the dimension of possibilities. Now i am here 1000 years later
Just 11 more seasons still we reach 1000 episodes and 22 years since this song was released, i feel like most of the actors are going to be dead by time this show is over

I've always loved this song when I heard it as a kid and the episode was on the local channel so much I memorized the lyrics. Funny part is, this was in Season 13, which was around the time Simpsons started dropping in quality.
"dropping" in quality sure, but still 13th season of the simpsons is still better and funnier than 95% of the "comedy" we ever had, people are too harsh on the simpsons just because they're not as good as the first 8 seasons which no show ever matched for many people, the golden 8 first seasons are considered the best ever in TV so of course it can only get worse....
@@AmbitiousAlgiers I think a point I want to add is that Simpsons didn't drop in quality like a brick, it was a gradual descent, each season past 9th just started having more misses than hits as it went on. The Golden Age was called that because most of the episodes were bangers.
@@SteelBallRun1890 Was great up too and including Beyond The Music. The season after that should have been the last as while its strong the law of diminishing returns was bound to come into play given The Simpsons went from counter-culture pop culture to being establishment status quo pandering. Once you get to season 14 the spotty episodes show up and the show was never the same.
@@spencerwilliams461 While I did buy Seasons 1-9 on DVD back in the day, Seasons like 11-14 reran constantly on Cartoon Network when I was watching that channel so I have a soft spot for seasons a bit past 9, like the Tony Hawk episode or Homer becoming a food critic.
Absolutely, me too ! people were so spoiled with the best ever TV content with the first 8 seasons that even the smallest drop in quality during seasons 9-12 led them to way worse shows specially those entitled dumbass couch critics, eventhough seasons 9-17 is still funnier than 98% of "comedy" shows ever made...

That song is too true, because The Simpsons has gone on for years now. ...Way too long, I mean, but the first twenty seasons are good from what I hear. The movie was awesome too.
They can't keep this up forever. The Simpsons, Family Guy, Spongebob, One Piece, South Park and any other animated show that's still going, have to end regardless
Y'know, back in the day the light at the end of the tunnel was 'well one day Dan Nancy and all the other voice talents of the Simpsons will die and we can finally see them end' Now AI voicebanks are a thing....
"Something happens and doot-doot-doo-doo." Pretty well sums up the last 15 years of the simpsons.
Yup that was the joke
"Sorry for the clip show"
@@TheMrPeteChannel have no fears, we've got stories for years

This episode aired in 2002 and was making fun of the decrease in quality on the show. They were hardly even scratching the surface at the time.
In the 2040's the 2020's Simpsons will look like classics.
@@Apjooz I hope they do end the series once one of the main voice actors passes away. Continuing after that would be totally disrespectful.

Tremendo

Specially now that Fox is under the ownership of the mouse in the red shorts.
Companies are afraid to come up with new IP's, because that would involve... a risk.
So the simpsons show is effectively immortal not even the mouse in red can’t kill the show off and he’s the most powerful cartoon on earth lol
Is it illegial to like non “golden age episodes”

"They'll never stop The Simpsons"
Unless it's The Simpsons tapped out
this show really is best when its poking fun at itself.
Hope you're being sarcastic dude...
It's true, the show used to be very aware, now its so bland and hollow
I respectfully disagree, I think the show is best when it combines humor and genuine emotion
Or it WAS the best when it had... you know... actually good jokes....
If you didn’t watch simpsons don’t judge
Today's the 20th anniversary of this episode.
They played this melody in the “series finale “ credits
This honestly seems more of a threat now
MARGE BECOMES A ROBOT
So unfortunately we have had episodes where Moe gets a cellphone, Bart owns a bear and Grandpa marries Selma. Bit sad when the meta-commentary on themselves becomes real.
That is insane lol
And marge being a robot, twice
There's an episode where they have an alexa who did all the chores of the house but it has a digital AI copy of Marge. Another where Artie Ziff made an android of Marge and married he. So Marge did become a robot and for crazy wedding there are so many!
Came here after the announcement of the 35th season 😂
While I never liked this episode, I like the key this song was sung in. In fact, I almost like it more than the original "We didn't start the fire."
it blows my mind it's suppose to be a Billy Joel cover/parody. I mean I hear it now after but it didn't immediately make me think of it.
True. The rhythm is kinda crap, lyrics aren't very good, all in all a terrible song. But the KEY is amazing! Can't get enough of that key it's in... _(guess I forgot to put the fog lights in)_
Dat key tho
came here to say the same thing. I think the verse slaps. Marge not proud, homer chubby.
Pointless take, thanks
I always remembered this when they said "have no fears we've got stories for years" "when...Marge becomes a robot". But I have never seen Marge become a robot lol
The Thanksgiving horror anthology episode had Marge copied as an AI that controlled a robot (roomba). So it technically happened.
Well you have now
Marge became one in a dream Homer had.
Artie Ziff made a Marge robot in an episode
True. I waited for years to have these stories pan out but they never did.
This, in my opinion, is the EXACT moment where the show stops being good. There's no way of coming back after a song that's so up-its-own-arse, even when it's done ironically like it is here.
THEY’LL NEVER STOP THE SIMPSONS!!!

still is.
And they weren't kidding. Now it's a zombie of its former self.
The Simpsons will never die, it will continue to be a mediocre show that has seen better days.

Weird to think about
Lisa would be about 40
Think about how Bart was originally born in 1979, but thanks to the floating timeline, he's now born in 2014.
Simpsons predicted Simpson's downfall

It’s been a decade since this episode and it’s true there never stop the simpsons
I watched this before I ever heard the Billy Joel song, and when I heard the Billy Joel song, my first thought was that he took it from this.
Show was just renewed through season 36
Just renewed for another 2 years. They’ll never stop em!
Marge actually did become a robot in Thanksgiving anthology.
What started as a joke became more of a sad reality...
If this was SML all of those stories would be made within like the first season.
They had the crazy wedding with Grampa marrying Selma and basically did the moe gets a cellphone with Homer getting an iPad...
I like how they included “sideshow bob steps on rake” like it’s a major plot point of the episode
No they will never stop The Simpsons. But they did stop The Simpsons on DVD. Thanks a lot FOX for destroying collectors of The Simpsons DVD box sets
It’s eerie how true this was
This was a nice trip down memory lane
The gay wedding, and Bart marries cletus’s daughter
