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

it's strange to me that a woman sexually assaulting another woman can be played off as a quirky joke and when clearly it is as bad or at least nearly as bad as a man doing the same thing
Same with a woman sexually assaulting a man…it’s concerning how little people care when the assaulted is a woman. Hell, there was even an episode where Marge r*pes Homer that wasn’t included in the video
The feminist episode was just whatever, but what hit the nail in the coffin was bossy riot just revealing that they used Bart in the end, who did everything for them, and Lisa just happily accepting the invite after the reveal. Really annoying to see
The feminist Simpsons episode felt longer than it really was. It’s one of those episodes that showed how out of touch the show is now and lack of self awareness. There’s still a lot of things in America to make fun of, even stuff related to the Simpsons in the real world is enough material for jokes.

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

It’s not just the major retcon that people seem to hate, it’s also the way it’s presented and solved; at the celebration, the real Seymour Skinner conveniently shows up only now in the right place at the right time with no explanation and the way the episode ends with the town tying him to a train and promising to never talk about it ever again. It feels like the whole episode was a waste of time for the audience and the script takes a lot of shortcuts just so the story can begin and end, it’s for these other reasons that a lot of people feel like this is where the quality of the writing starts to drop and it’s not hard to disagree.
Surprised “The Boys of Bummer” wasn’t mentioned. It was probably the most infamous episode before the Lady Gaga and Elon Musk episode
What happens in that one
2:03 why did she even kiss her?! (I'm not a homophobic, btw.)
I'm guessing it's because Gaga is bi. That's why.
I can’t believe you ask such a horrifically homophobic question
@@joep218 I asked that because I was curious,

The Itchy & Scratchy one doesn't work because, no one who'd have the idea to make a race/gender-swapped version of a preexisting property is going to prioritize comedy. They're stuck on, 'identity group matters more than content of character', so they're in a bad headspace to make anything funny. As shown by the fact that this episode is nothing but Mary Sues versus strawmen. Ideologues can't empathize enough with the other side to make funny observations about them, and they certainly can't laugh at themselves. Can you name any swapped reboots that have been as good or better than the original?
It didn't work because people like you, instead of enjoying the episode, decided to turn it into a war of ideology.
"Can you name any swapped reboots that have been as good or better than the original?" Yes, Ocean's 8
@@maxsiqueira666 Nice bait. "It's the audiences fault they didn't like it, not the people who made it"
@@maxsiqueira666 Are you serious? The episode was made with deliberate political themes, and *I'm* the problem for pointing them out? Just saying they exist? *Politics of ANY kind ruin comedy.* I don't like shows that try to force a right-wing cult crap, I don't like shows that try to force left-wing cult crap. What I said applied to either side: People who can't laugh at themselves can't make comedy.
Also, I appreciate that you tried, but that's an 'Ehhhh, maybe' at best. Certainly not as good as the Clooney remake, and only better than the Rat Pack original because that one was actually pretty boring. Still, I do applaud you for actually naming one that's defensible.

NAh this made me dying💀

The Gaga episode was definitely bad. It just didn't feel very genuine to me. It made Lady Gaga less of a person, let alone a comedic spoof of the celebrity and into an angelic figure with corny senses of low self-esteem. It could have been written a lot better if it was funnier and down to Earth. They've done better celebrity cameos before, when the episodes didn't make the celebrities seem like messiahs or promotion of them. I like Lady Gaga, but it could have been better. Heck it was better when they didn't in-universe overplay on them being celebrities at all but just a cameo.
Honestly the Elon musk episode was the worst one. The gaga episode was meh. It wasn't bad nor was it great. It was tolerable. The elon musk one just annoyed the crap out of me. It just wasn't good. And didn't make sense to me.
Why did she kiss her?
Idk, this episode is weird (I’m not a homophobe, but why would you add this weird scene to the whole thing)
Because the writers like women too much
@PortugueseMACPOW true
@PortugueseMACPOWGood joke. You almost got me
@PortugueseMACPOWwomp womp
6:24 "It was confused and had multiple agendas" That is a GOOD thing. To have MULTIPLE agendas competing against each other. Not just two opposing agendas.
more like lisa goes googoo gaga lmao
BOSSY RIOT? Why does the world destroy everything I love in the stupidest ways?
Putting Elon as a genius ,when he is not; in fact he says stupid stuff all the time. Is just stupid.
So now I see why people hate the episode and I was like “That’s it? The reason why people don’t Lisa goes Gaga?” I was expecting something WAY WAY WAY worse from what I’ve herd about this video
I don’t remember family guy looking like this like why are they all yellow
😂
This video was uploaded right after I finished watching the first episode that appeared in the video Live on Channel 4 HD
0:11 "Lisa Goes Gaga"
3:02 "Bart vs Itchy & Scratchy"
6:34 "A Midsummer's Nice Dreams"
8:31 "The Musk Who Fell to Earth"
11:08 "The Principal and the Pauper"
I was not too fond of Bart's action in this.
He didn't have to read those notes out loud in front of the whole school. Then again, he didn't know that it could ridicule Lisa's life.
He could've looked at or read them silently, had a silent "sudden realization", and handed them back to Lisa (while saying something snarky, of course).
you don’t have a sibling do you? I’d personally do the same thing to my own sibling, bart did read it in his head realised what it was and chose to say it out loud as a form of punishment for the weak self bolstering that and rivalries care not for weakness
Lisa shouldn't have been lying on a blog to gas herself up.
People can hate on the Lady Gaga episode as much as they want, but there is something that nobody can deny, and it is the fact that despite bad, it is a pretty memorable episode (again, mostly for the bad reasons) which isn't something that we can say about the Elon Musk episode, which I'am sure, not many pleople knew about until recently because of how bland and boring it was, personally, I though the reason why I didn't knew about is existence until recently was because it was a new episode that came out pretty recently, quite the big surprise when I realized that it was actually a episode that came more than 5 years ago.
the episode is memorable because it was the beginning of the show's decline.
@1kracuauker797 the show was on the decline 10-15 years before Lisa goes gaga if we are being totally honest
it seems like a lot of people in the comments don't know this, so "the principal and the pauper" and skinner's backstory is like a 1:1 pastiche of Retour de Martin Guerre; some exact same story beats but with a more simpsons take. I know they tend to draw from sources like that for their stories but I think this one just hit too weird maybe bc the court case was from the 1500s
Why is Lisa always tied to the worst of the Simpsons?
Cuz she's one of the worst Simpsons characters
@incidentalreelz I know but like seriously it's night and day when it's a Lisa episode
The Musk Who Fell to Earth is a special kind of bad
The thing with the Gaga episode is that it was cringe Lisa was even writing about herself. We call out how lame that is now but the show tries to frame Bart revealing the lie as him being a jerk when Lisa is the one lying to everyone else for a selfish means to be popular. I can understand her having low self esteem but going the sock puppet route? Then you're the jerk.
Funny how these celebrity episodes can always cause trouble later on.
The one with MJ was pulled from reruns even though he wasn't even playing himself, the one with Elon who they are now also programmed to hate, might also not reappear.
Guess they are lucky if they never had JK Rowling guest star (I genuinely don't know if they do, haven't watched this in a decade)
They REALLY need to wrap things up.
I don't like how BR used him as a scapegoat, that was weird, The Simpsons.
The principal episode was pretty bad but honestly i love when the writers jab at how bad it was, like about a season later (the episode where snowball dies) lisa jabs at him calling him “principal tamzarian”
editing mistake oh his headband at 7:37 (put back a few seconds to see)
Lol
I hate that lady gaga episode especially because lady gaga kisses marge and marge and homer are ok with it
Other than the last one on the list, I didn't hate any of these episodes. That's the only one that actually really pisses me off. They are very bland, but I'd watch them over a lot of "worst episodes" from other cartoons.
If my choices were between South Park's "A Million Little Fibers" or the first four episodes on this list, I'd probably rather watch The Simpsons. (Though I'd keep "Lisa Goes Gaga" on mute.)
Hell, I would much rather watch "The Principal and The Pauper" over and over again over a lot of Family Guy episodes. (Like "Screams of Silence," for example. That's the one where they blame the victim of domestic abuse for being abused, btw.)
Basically what I'm saying is- if the worst you can say about the worst episodes of The Simpsons are "they're not funny," "they have mixed messages" (over something that's not really that important) or "they're horribly addicted to the status quo" after nearly 770 episodes, I think they're doing pretty damn good for themselves.
notice the first two are Lisa centered. also the Elon musk one sounds like it was written by AI.
Skinner!
With his crazy explanations.
The superintendent's gonna need his medication.
When you hear Skinner's lame exaggerations.
There'll be trouble in town tonight!
SKINNER! 😂
So it wasn't explained why she made out with Marge? She just did it??
2:09 Devianart:
"The Patriarchy is a Wiener" - the Simpsons is officially dead 🤮
This is good UA-cam video and suprise I enjoy these episode (not as much as the other episode ones but still)
Dear god that Elon Musk episode is so bad
All these episodes could've been good or mid episodes, but they made them with such sloth, it makes it bad
Honestly, id gladly rewatch "The Principal and the Pauper" over anything done in past 5 to 10 years of The Simpsons
I feel like, even if it delivered them in a clunky way, the Armin Tamzarian episode brought up some very sharp points about how, we really don't give a fuck what's true; we'd rather believe what feels good. And we'll ignore any amount of reality to get back to the status quo. I think the episode cut too close to the bone, making people realize, 'Yeah, you want things to go back to normal too. You're as bad as anyone else in Springfield.' People don't like confronting their own capacity for dishonesty. Why do you think it took forty years for any of the Cosby accusations to stick?
Hollywood has always been a den of predators. Why do you think metoo was turned on average Americans so quickly? Nobody knew diddy was a predatory back then.
I'm guessing Bossy Riot was a reference to Pussy Riot
People didn't like The Principal of the Pauper? Growing up I remember really liking that episode since it gave a twist to an otherwise boring character. It was def one of the more memorable episodes for me, surprised so many hated it.
I think it's funny, maybe it's the editing, how one scene she makes out with a married woman then gets up the next morning and puts on her meat suit, like it's a thing to wear lol
What the hell is the thumbnail
I know
Simpsons fans cant handle that the show went downhill way before this episode so they latch onto this because Lady Gaga.
Notice how all of the bad episodes are more recent, prime Simpsons ended years ago
True
Title is misleading. It should have an "s" at the end.
I’ve ghost written about myself on a school blog before too.
I feel like The Simpsons lost it's charm ages ago. Frankly.. I feel it should have come to a conclusion decades ago when it was still relevant.
I still mark the Lady Gaga episode as the start of the Simpsons fall. It's just not as funny like it used to be and it's so desperate to follow political agenda. I miss the side characters. Now it's all about celebrities and Homer being stupid or Lisa being sad. Where's the nuance? The humor? Also, Elon Musk? Blegh
2:06 I don’t remember this scene
I also dislike the one with JJ Abrams, it almost feels like the moral of the story was that every thing Abrams does is the best thing ever which sounds self-aggrandizing.
Mad about the Toy is just dumb and it robbed Free Churro of an emmy.
2:16 am I the only one who noticed homer getting a taste of the Gaga meat 😂
Notice that almost every episode here is quite recent.
The principal and the pauper is annoying but doesn't deserve to be with the rest of this junk.
This episode was horrible....bad humor,random and uneccessary gay kiss,stupid ending like WTF
Does anyone know the acronym for Boy. Rights. Association. Like bruhhhhhh😭
The simpson version of sweaty clam
3:16 well your right it won't age well
I liked the principle episode, it gave a believable story and it was a good commentary on the US at the time during Vietnam. It was never meant to be a funny episode, it took itself seriously
Wad Goals was what made me lose interest in The Simpsons.
The Elon episode got much much worse from when Elon bought Twitter. We actually thought he was some sort of genius. Now this episode seems like propaganda seen on X.
Celebrity cameo actor Jon Lovitz has something to say about that ...
Yet The Principle is the best episode out of all of these in terms of jokes.
Mine would be "My big fat geek Wedding"
The gaga episode was alright but I felt uneasy the whole time
Oh man this fucking stunk
Pretty much made me tune out of The Simpsons and only watch Futurama for a good while
You also forgot to include that Gaga kissed Marge for absolutely no reason knowing that she is married. If I cared for the simpsons, I’d be pissed to see that.
Edit: these all seem to be either political or woke. So that may be the reason these are so bad. (I agree with the ratings)
Still like when skinner said up yours children
Why does everybody hate this episode? I watched it, and it was good. I get that Gaga shouldn't have kissed Marge, but come on. The song in the end was awesome to listen.
We're still calling this the worst episode?
Come on man, Season 11 and even the very season this came from have made much worse.
Even in seasons following, there have been worse.
How are you able to describe "Lisa Goes Gaga" in a way that actually makes it sound like a decent episode???
