Is the End of Malcolm in the Middle... Good?
I love Malcolm in the Middle, but was the ending really that great? I'd argue that it departed from a lot of the cynicism and down to earth comedy that made the show great.

We return to the Treehouse of Horror to look at 27 more segments as we continue soldiering on to our ultimate goal of ranking every single Simpsons Halloween special ever! In this video we enter the early post-classic era of the show as these segments take us to the very start of the HD era and beyond the point where I have previously argued the show overall became bad. So, how does this genera...

The Amy Schumer Trilogy REVIEWED

With a new movie coming out with Amy Schumer I decided to look at the three films so far where she has starred in the leading role. Are they all as bad as her reputation might suggest? What might Schumer's version of Barbie have looked like in an alternate reality? And the big question at the centre of all this: can women be funny? 00:00 Introduction 01:10 Trainwreck 07:20 Snatched 12:20 I Feel...
So... About Those Family Guy Star Wars Episodes

In the 9 seasons of Family Guy I've explored in detail in this channel there were also 3 extra long episodes parodying the Original Star Wars trilogy.

The Tolkien Prequel that's BETTER than Rings of Power
Переглядів 4963 місяці тому
With the new Rings of Power TV show coming out soon, I thought it was worth exploring a prequel actually written by Tolkien that could be effectively adapted for audio-visual media. Not as a TV show, but rather as a five part epic film series. I hope everybody enjoys seeing my recounting of the story and how it could fit into a film series. I'm not really going to do the whole image credits thi...
Mr Birchum: An Apolitical Review of Conservative Media

In this video I review Mr Birchum not just as an adult animated comedy, but also place it within the wider context of the Daily Wire's efforts to create influential conservative media that impacts the mainstream. Ultimately my main question is both whether this show is good, and how well it works towards the apparent goal of those behind its production. 00:00 Conservative Media 06:43 Mr Birchum...
Rewriting the Simpsons' Future

On this channel so far I've done rewrites and I've done explorations of adult animated sitcoms.

Across these three videos I've been exploring the story of how I went from loving Early Family Guy, to ceasing to watch the show at all by Season 9. This video explores the final part of that tale.

How Family Guy CHANGED (Seasons 4-6)
Переглядів 12 тис.6 місяців тому
Family Guy started off as a show with a distinct tone and its own unique qualities. However, after the show was cancelled and subsequently renewed, a few changes began to develop. Nowadays Family Guy is considered a very different show from how it started, and this video explores the very beginnings of that change.

What EARLY Family Guy Did Differently (Seasons 1-3)
Переглядів 18 тис.7 місяців тому
I've spoken before about Family Guy and the Simpsons, but I figured it's time that I made a positive video. Here I look at the early seasons of Family Guy before it was cancelled and see how the show was different in the beginning. This is hopefully the first part of what will at least be a trilogy, with the next two parts looking at the beginning of the show's decline in Seasons 4-6, and then ...
Why the MCU Was a Bad Idea
Переглядів 5 тис.7 місяців тому
The MCU had a really good run! There's no denying it! However, did the MCU achieve this because it had a lot of obvious potential to be great, or because the creative team behind it pulled off the near-impossible? In this video I contrast the MCU with other potential cinematic universes and see how the cinematic universe has impacted the characters explored and stories told in this long-running...
How to Do Reference Comedy: The Simpsons vs Family Guy
Переглядів 250 тис.8 місяців тому
After my recent video on the Worst Simpsons Episode, I thought it would be nice to look at something the Simpsons does well! So, the question for this video is how does the Simpsons incorporated pop culture references into their comedy, and how does this compare to what we see in the typical comedy of Family Guy? Hope you all enjoy! Credit to the UA-cam channel School of Wok, from whom I got th...

Get to the point. An intro is fine, but I came to this video because I expected to fnd out what the worst episode is, but after over 6 and a half minute of you going on and on about what isn't funny and not revealing what episode you're talking about, I decided to post this comment, give your video a "dislike" and stop watching the rest of your video.
Cartoons often do the President endgame too. You said the Simpsons, but also Mandy from Billy and Mandy, and Gwen from Ben 10
What a terrible take about Malcolm. Malcolm becomes the leader everywhere where he goes whether it’s with the krelboynes or hatching a scheme with Reese and dewey. He would became a great president which is the whole point of the show. You wanting Malcolm to take some lousy job to support his family or that’s beneath him then go watch shameless (US) and see Lip destroy his potential to become a mechanic. It’s not satisfying or enjoyable. Horrible take by you especially your reasons like this episode came out during the bush era. Tried too hard to be a wanker and it made your video fall flat
Yet another video that basically proves Lois was fucked up for costing Malcolm that tech job. Absolutely spot on about the chances of Malcolm becoming president being slim at best, and even if he did get it he'd be resentful. My one gripe with that show was how it ended so unfairly for Malcolm but I came to forgive it once I understood that was the point.
I love Malcolm in the Middle content. Currently rebinging it for the fifth time. Thank you for your insight, KC!
Never finished the show, never seen your channel; loved the vid regardless!
Malcolm is JD Vance
I hated the finale. The entire last season took an odd turn tbh but the idea that Lois prevented malcolm from getting the job that he wants so he can get the job she wants him to have so he could improve her life really made me dislike her character. He's never wanted to be president, he has horrible people skills, he struggles to maintain friendships and not shouting at people stresses him out so much he gets a pancreatic ulcer and almost dies. The way Malcolm couldve helped his family was through earning a 6 figure salary because you know who does have leadership and showmanship qualities? Dewey, who is also gifted but is shown consistently looking out for the little guy.
@@OMGSAMCOPSEY oooh the point about Dewey being a more sensible choice for future president is actually a really good one I'd never considered before
What I took away from the finale is that Lois is a terrible person and utterly delusional, attempting to force her intelligent son to fix all of her problems for her, and dragging everyone else into her delusion
@@TorridPrime217 yeah my opinions on Lois go back and forth throughout the series but the finale is definitely a negative note
I'd vote for Malcolm Wilkerson
I think malcolm really went down hill as it went on
I feel the opposite, my fav seasons are 4-7
So basically President Malcolm would just be Richard Nixon v2
I not a crook
Is there any shows similar to this
Nice video. Although you forgot what happened after the ending of Malcolm in the Middle. When Hal wakes up from a dream he had where he was a meth kingpin.
Nooooo, that's Malcolm. He started looking a lot more like his dad when he reached adulthood.
The Grotto's storyline was tragically cut short because of Otto's actor health, and I guess the writing team was blindsided by that series of events because they really couldn't figure much to do with Francis afterwards.
Father Ted is not British.
Not great either
@@PauTheDeo same thing
It was a Channel 4 production though
Father Ted is Irish not British
What's the difference
Produced by a British production company for a British TV channel. Filmed mostly in London. Its a British show.
@@lelles76 And Jesus was born in a stable, did that make him a horse?
@manusgraham1159 He's done you there mate
so bart the feminist is worst episode than this. by all that you say that episode is worst. and even worst because that is hollywood being masturbatory.
3:05 At the end of Ghost Dad, St. Peter didn't seem to care that Homer saved a baby's life and banishes Homer to hell anyway. This is the same St. Peter who tells Homer he has to do one good deed to get into heaven.
Yes. The Simpsons has a lot of terrible episodes over the years. I think truly the worst ever episode of The Simpsons was Boys of Bummer. It was a horrible episode. Bart is evil. Yes. But, in that episode he did not deserve what happened to him. Poor Bart loses a baseball game and everyone in Springfield cruelly mocks him and be nasty towards him driving him to a attempted suicide. The episode was a depiction of child cruelty. Ridicule. Depression and suicide attempt. Everyone in Springfield took Bart losing the baseball game too seriously and they all go and be nasty to him. Unfunny and mean spirited.
I think the problem with dissecting comedy is the same problem that comes from compairing Simpsons to Family Guy or any other other comedic thing, or even stand up comics. Comedy is selective. What one person finds funny, another person doesn't. As somebody who loves both shows, I personally found the Family Guy version funnier because it's stupid comedy. Which again depends on how each person analyzes a joke. For me it's a dumb joke and while it's also a reference to another joke, the writers know it's a dumb joke and that's exactly what it's supposed to be, a dumb joke. Personally I can enjoy a dumb joke if it's played as a dumb joke, which the owl joke is. It's a dumb, stupid joke. However and here's where I come back to how people's sense of humor differs, I do not find The Simpsons joke funny in comparison, because of Skinner's punchline. While it is certainly in character for his character, the way he explains the joke, at least to me is him also explaining to the audience why the joke is funny, but I'm smart enough to know why the joke was funny, I don't need you telling me why it is, but again that's just me. Family Guy's version doesn't explain why the joke is supposed to be funny, it just does it and assumes you know why it's meant to be funny. Now if you find it actually funny or not is another matter entirely but they don't at the end have the character say "Oh it's because the owl goes who and he's saying who but the name of the character is who too" like the Simpsons joke does. If it did I wouldn't find that joke funny either, but again, like I said that's something that differs person to person. However I do think The Simpsons executes their references better than Family Guy more often than not. Especially back in it's Golden Age and it comes back to something that South Park actually did a joke on about Family Guy in how all their jokes relate to the narrative of the show. For me Family Guy's best reference and cutaway jokes come from when a character at least sets up the joke with a "This reminds me of the time...." insert reference cutaway joke here. It's not much but it's better than just cutting from whatever the actual narrative story of the episode was to a random cutaway gag that it feels like they've done just for the sake of doing it. The thing with Family Guy is that the writers write a lot of dumb, stupid jokes but they're not written as great jokes that end up unintentionally being dumb and stupid jokes. They are written that way intentionally and that's how they're meant to be taken. At which point you either like them or you don't and in the case of the owl joke, that's exactly what it is.
12:43 as someone who didn’t get the reference I can confirm it made me feel nothing but emptiness and being very confused
"This is the highest ranking segment since season 21." Did you forget about MMM... Homer?
My favorite full episodes from this era are 1, 3, 4, and 8. 2 just isn't scary at all, and I love all three segments from 5, but hate the outro.
Thought I’d add some positively to this comments section. I’ve watched a lot of your newer Simpsons/Family Guy videos and really liked them, that’s why I’m watching this. This is very disorganised stretched out video but you have definitely improved a lot since making this.
4:54 My favourite part of Treehouse of Horror XI is actually the ending after Night of the Dolphin, when Kang and Kodos complain that they got left out of the special.
I found the whole "jumpscare!" thing suuper annoying and played out in the Monty Burns segment of THOH 35. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned haha. I was a bit underwhelmed with the newest Treehouse which is a bummer because the last few ones have been pretty solid. Not perfect, but solid.
That's a fair point. I did notice that as annoying but didn't think to point it out
I wish into the Homereverse was its own episode I would have to have seen one of the universes drawn in that Mexicana artstyle in the most recent Halloween specials intro
Not it is not a treehouse segment
Get to the point already!
The Monkey Paw segment is a parody of a Twilight Zone episode.
I love the one where Marge and her sisters are witches and at the end Homer is throwing eggs at his own house. 🤣
fun fact: The simpson comics already did a death note parody years ago, full on in manga style, though this time Bart was the one using it with Krusty as his Shinigami. Though have to say, other than the futurama crossover (which the comcis did way better), in this case both versions are pretty good. also the comcis did a pacific rim parody as well, though not sure if it was a halloween or super hero special or something else, but it was also with bart and Lisa having to work together
getting into the episodes I never watched
8:48 breadfest
I think it makes sense for Krusty/Pennywise to blame his death on cancel culture since he's a demonic monster who kills people, gotta have something to blame
First they came for the demonic monsters who kill people, and I said nothing
Would've been better if new rankings were highlighted, I can't make out where most have been placed.
That's a good suggestion! If I do ranking videos going forward I'll make sure to do that
Just a quick heads up, there is a 2nd Treehouse of Horror special airing on November 28th called "Treehouse of Horror Presents: Simpsons Wicked This Way Comes". It's another three-short format special.
Thanks!
I think it's a whole episode I think?
Ok, now you need to rank all the full episodes, AND throw in the other Halloween specials as a bonus(there are a couple)
Hmmm... maybe in a little while!
8:48 I had to doubletake at the spoonerism "Bread Fest"
Oh my goodness... I didn't even realise I said that! I think there's another mispeaking in this video I only realised right at the end and was like, "Well I'm not recording that." I also did several takes of "Pacific Rim" where I kept saying "Specific Rim" I should either learn to speak properly or at least not mispeak so casually that I don't even realise I've made a mistake
Hey King, I wouldn't have watched the newer season tree house of horrors if you hadn't made these videos, so thanks for that! I enjoyed the season 34 one!
That's great to hear! Glad I served as some inspiration
How do you feel about trump winning
I mean... I really feel like regardless of your politics Trump seems like a disingenuous grifter. Like I don't even feel like that's a political statement... I wouldn't trust him to do anything Having said that, I guess people usually have a habit of catastrophising things. 2016-2020 didn't really register as some big momentous period of time. Although apparently there were more checks and balances back then and now Trump has gotten rid of them? At the end of the day I'm not American and I don't care too much. If I was American I wouldn't be hugely happy about it, but then having said that I really hate the current Prime Minister of the UK as well... I have pretty high standards for politicians. I just want them to be sincere and competent with an actual plan to improve things for the average person... and it seems that's too much to expect from the people in charge! :/
Is Rishi Sunak still PM or did that change? @@kcreviews8161
@@kcreviews8161Though I disagree Trump won't get anything done or is disingenuous at least compared to Kamala who can't be genuine to save her life, least nice to hear a creater who is not a big fan of Trump not just going on the attack for people who did support and voted for him. So sick of seeing creaters I like clam someone like me is a bad person and telling me Im not wanted for not aggring with their political candidate -o-

@PauTheDeo manually make the lines in Canva
21:35 Disney had bought The Simpsons by that point and there was a change in producers in the seasons made after the purchase, Matt Selman became the new head of the show and the seasons under him have revived the show giving us many good episodes or unique takes on characters.
Ah that's interesting to hear! Yeah... I've always thought about the fact that technically there's nothing stopping a whole load of talented writers coming in and making a series of classic-tier episodes. I've heard good things so I'm wanting to watch some more of the very recent episodes
Will you watch Simpsons Wicked This Way Comes when it releases?
Well I definitely won't review it. I already felt weird releasing Halloween content this late into November, so never mind releasing even more! I might check it out... on the 09:30hr flight to Florida I'm taking I was thinking about catching up on a whole load of Modern simpsons, since I haven't seen most of it
@@kcreviews8161if you do, I’d check out a lot of season 34 (there’s a lot of good ones there)
Halloween 2? Didn't know it got a sequel
There's still a whole other treehouse of horror special coming out next week from the Simpsons! We'll have to have Halloween 3
"I threw away my vote by voting for a minor candidate" Are you telling me that you don't have a system where the president has to get over 50% of the votes to be put in office? Man, Poland trurly is a beacon of Democracy.
Our current Prime Minister got 34% of the vote. It really is a rubbish system!
@kcreviews8161 ah right, the briish don't elect the head of the state... **START TO ELECT YOUR KING LIKE WE DID IN POLAND 300 YEARS AGO**
Skinner fucking up the who's on first joke is perfect. It's so in character. Interestingly, the characters is what makes the original who's on first joke so good. The joke itself is very stupid and not funny, but the quick back and forth is so perfectly timed that you can't help but laugh. It's the interaction between the characters that makes it work, and that's what the simpsons got right.
