What is even going on here?
So, it’s a Muppets Show parody but also poking fun at sitcom conventions and Katy Perry is wearing a dress featuring The Simpsons ON THE SIMPSONS for some reason but then doesn’t even really sing and there’s some kind of coded dig at Sesame Street going on, too, because of the whole Katy Perry on Sesame Street thing even though that was months ago and no one needed The Simpsons to comment on it, and absolutely none of it whatsoever has anything to do with Christmas? Do I have that right? Because I stopped watching The Simpsons 35 years ago and Katy Perry sucks, so maybe I’m missing something.

she has nice breasts
I’m so glad Gabe and I have the same position on Katy Perry. She really does suck but everywhere I go, it seems everyone loves her.
SERIOUSLY! SHE IS JUST CONSTANTLY TOPPING THE DAMN CHARTS! WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT HER? SO SHE’S PRETTY! SHE’S GOT BOOBS! BIG DEAL! SHE CANNOT SING! ALSO: HOMOPHOBIC! FEMALE CHAUVINIST PIG! (Sorry for this dudes, but if it helps, I’m in college)
Oh: AND she’s married to Russell Brand, who is the worst. GAME. SET. MATCH.
She’s not even pretty. She’s like a Zooey Deschanel designed by committee.
Go to bed, Katy Perry.
my bed
Also, I hate to say it, but go to bed, The Simpsons.
and stay there
Doesn’t it make a little TOO much sense for Steve Winwood to by Moe Syzlak?
Yes. Yes it does, it would explain too much.
???????
Case in point, your honor.
Steve, I’m looking for a Mr. Clothesoff, first name Oliver.
I dont understand why I would be represented by the bartender character. I am not a bartender
*be
Dammit.
Isn’t she married to a muppet?
She’s no less muppetty.
Little known fact : Russel Brand voiced The Beaver in Jodie Foster’s “The Beaver”.
That poor television show.
For me, she has certain charms.
I sense a love triangle a brewing
I knew you’d be a sucker for her “Jesus” wrist tattoo.
I’m always suspicious of cookies that have the exact same distribution of chips.
Honestly Huck; do you really want THIS GUY’S sloppy seconds?
it sickens me how girls are attracted to that guy, he’s so icky and trashy
This is the Muppets In Space of things on the Simpsons
Are they just trying to show up Community’s stop-motion animation episode? Because that’s going to be an impossible feat, I don’t care how large Mrs. Perry’s breasts are
I care
Agreedo. Community has surpassed in 2 seasons anything the Simpsons has done for the last 10 years. It’s called good writing! Go to bed SNL and the Simpsons!
By “surpassed” I just meant “made more funny times for me and mine”
Ditto.
(love your maze tattoo on your avatar!)
These puppets would be more entertaining if they served as an emotional buffer to let an emotionally damaged man deal with society and put his life back together… and with Mel Gibson’s hand up their asses.
Yes, “Winwood” that includes Katy Perry.
what about her beaver?
“???????????” — Steve Winwood, 4 B.C. — 3012 A.D.
Gabe, you just don’t get it cuz its so bold, so brash
Oh, God.
Katy Perry’s problem is that she thinks she’s cooler than she is. Shes like the girl who wants and knows how to be cool even though she can’t pull it off. Like, she’d go topless at a mediocre college party pretending she’s drunk even though she only had one mixed drink. And the simpsons trys so hard to reach its own definition of important show its kind of sad. It’s like the rock star who keeps releasing political songs because ‘thats what important artists did back in the day, right?” So this is a perfect match
In related news, I hate myself
In related news, is that Tommy Pickles? I have upvoted you on the likelihood that it is
But I think we can all agree that life would be better if more things were brought to us by the symbol Umlaut, right?
Right?
and the number e
27! (I’m sorry. I couldn’t resist.)
wait was that suppose to be funny? or funny ironic? or ironic? i couldn’t make it through the whole clip.
Yo dawg, I heard you like Simpsons so we put Simpsons on your Katy Perry so you can….I’m too confused.
For the non-Americans who don’t get access to Hulu for some stupid reason:

(but really, I think Hulu was doing us a favour in this case)
How does this qualify as music news, Rolling Stone?
I realize this isn’t going to be a popular opinion, but I like Katy Perry! Not her music so much, I don’t listen to anything that doesn’t involve at least one of the Gallagher brothers. But I feel like she’s much more authentic with Lady Gaga. She’s got her own thing going on without making it seem forced.
Plus, you know…her jugs.
agreed, not a fan of her music and not sure what you mean about her being more authentic WITH Lady Gaga (maybe you meant “than” instead of “with”?) but yes, mmmmm I’d smear that all over my face and vice versa
I DID mean “than.” Steve Winwood, I don’t care what anybody says, you’re alright.
Her music is terrible, but perhaps not quite as terrible as what one Gallagher brother recently released w/ Beady Eye.
would it change your opinion to know that her cd is literally cotton candy scented????
“Ohh, that’s not my bellybutton…. that’s my dick.”
SURPIRSE!
Next week on the Simpsons:
(The animated gif was way too disturbing, but seriously, what the hell?)
Watched the film in a Film Studies class in college. TERRIFYING.
The first rule of Un Chien Andalou is that you only watch Un Chien Andalou in film class.
The second rule of Un Chien Andalou is that you only watch Un Chien Andalou in film class.
The third rule of Un Chien Andalou is that it is a totally awesome movie and everyone should watch it with their eyes held open.
The fourth rule of Un Chien Andalou is Debaser by the Pixies.
I’m with you on 3 out of 4. Will research said song by the Pixies and report back.
I saw the Pixies last year & they showed Un Chien Andalou in fast forward on the big screen before the band came out…so I’ve seen Un Chien Andalou, but only in fast forward.
The Golden Age is rather rad as well. And Meshes of the Afternoon. Let’s figure out a way to get these films a larger audience.
A day late and a dollar short:

L’age d’or is boss. Meshes too, but if we’re gonna stick with avant-shorts from the 20s and 30s, my favorite is the dadaist Tomato Is Another Day (pronounce Tomato like a British person):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ue3dly1zjk
Also of note, H2O by Ralph Steiner, Manhatta by Paul Strand, and Symphonie Diagonale by Viking Eggeling
But not disturbing, the song Debaser that was based on this movie, good song good band good album
Ah, I see you are acquainted with the rules of Un Chien Andalou
I have no evidence, but I am irrationally certain that the song Debaser was conceived of after a film studies class at the University of Massachusetts (please).
I have no idea what this is, and am torn between googling and running away to south dakota (where apparently, I think internet does not exist? I need to rethink my reaction to this, clearly)
its a surrealist movie and they cut away to a close up of a dead horse or goat eyeball that they stab but its edited in such a way you think its a persons eye ball
that was actually on a recent episode I watched. No lies, no lies are here when I am talking.
Remember when the people who decide what is cutting edge and ballsy decided that the Simpsons was like cutting edge and ballsy? Remember how Katy Perry kissed a girl and her totally cutting edge and ballsy song blew up because the PEOPLE loved it so much?
To be fair, the Simpsons WAS fairly ballsy when it premiered (I remember this because I am ANCIENT) and there were all sorts of kerfuffles in the lunchroom over who got to watch it and whose parents wouldn’t let them, and oh, it ended it tears so many times. But those times are long gone.
Katy Perry I hate on principal because when I first heard people talking about “I Kissed A Girl,” I thought Jill Sobule was back in the limelight and was so sad when that was not the case.
I very clearly remember being forbidden from watching The Simpsons as a wee taco, yet I was permitted to watch Married…With Children. I think it was mostly just shock of seeing those things coming from a cartoon. People expected more “What’s up Doc,” and less “Eat my shorts.” Looking back, it was all fairly tame.
Me too. #JillSobule4lyfe
I had a Bart Simpson “Underachiever and proud of it” t-shirt that I wore to school in the 6th grade and was forced by my teacher* to wear it inside out for the rest of the day.
That teacher was arrested 5 years later for possession with intent to sell. I guess overachieving didn’t do her any favors either.
I think a big part of the problem with the Simpsons today (hahaha STATE OF THE SIMPSONS ADDRESS GUYS) is maybe that the people writing it are people like myself who grew up watching the Simpsons and due to their respect of a thing that has been going on for so long therefore generate this really watered down emulation instead of making it their own. We don’t need the Simpsons to weigh in on every internet fad that pops up, we need it to have that smart, quotable element that it has been missing for years. In the old eps the most quotable lines weren’t always the ones that made you laugh. The days of “Ow my eyeball” are over. They just emulate old Simpsons as far as scripting goes, and then they throw way too many guest stars into the mix. Arguably most of the guest star eps from back in the day were bad, and around season 10 they just became way too commonplace.
I thought this was strange. But the real travesty? Terriers was canceled
. This is not the place for this but it super ruined my day. Best show on T.V. Better than Boardwalk Empire even. As far as I know I haven’t seen it mentioned here, but Terriers was the best. Never forget
NO WHAT TERRIERS WAS CANCELLED? Why did you have to ruin my day like this Spaceprophet, why?
Amen, brother. It was a brilliant show, but it lacked any sort of a buzz.
Now I am effing pissed. If me and my 48 twitter followers, most of whom haven’t seen Terriers probably, couldn’t save this show, then I give up. It was the best, and the opening theme song needs to be turned into a complete real song because it was the best too.
Can’t believe “V” is going to continue, while Flash Forward stopped. Surfaced! Threshold! Arrrrrggghhhhh!!!! OK, now I’m just dredging.
Gabe, can you lend the Simpsons your Re-set Button?
Guys, my comments won’t work. Videogum thinks that I–fozzy the frickin’ chair–am spam!
Ha ha! – Nelson Muntz
remember when the simpsons was good? conan o’brien must be rolling over in his grave!
I’d like to know how she keeps her eyes open with two pounds of fake eyelashes and mascara on. Skills!
“I wish this show had a visit from three new writers.”
“Well, it’s been a long run, but I think this’ll kill it.”
– Thanks Grandpa for bringing some sanity to this Christmas nightmare
P.S. A laugh track on the Simpsons is more unnatural than a talented Katy Perry
also: puppet marge looks a LITTLE thick.
I mean, it WAS her slender neck that landed her on the cover of playboy.
#hootiemcboob
And for the record, Lenny and Carl would NEVER have let this happen.
#braggum: Over the weekend, I actually saw Matt Groening walking around the Brooklyn Comics & Graphics Festival (…I know). One guy requested to interview him, then, as his first question, asked, “Don’t you think it’s time to wrap The Simpsons up already?” I know a lot of people feel this way, but this guy was SO rude.
Jeez, Brooklyn! Show some respect!
And his answer was…. yes?
We are out of rock stars since all legitimate musical acts are independent these days so the best they could get in the way of “rock star” is Katy Perry. She can’t sellout a stadium show but she is on the Simpsons! A-deeyaba-deeyaba-dat’s all folks!
Is it just me, or is it really sad (and slightly disturbing) that Katy Perry, a grown adult, is still carrying on with a months-long dig at Sesame Street for not airing her segment? At some point, she should remind herself tat at the end of the day, Sesame Street is a show targeted at toddlers to young kids. Not exactly her demographic. (Besides, her singing/overacting were pretty horrendous, so it’snot as if the kids are losing out on a once-in-a-lifetime historic moment.) You got booted, it sucked, now it’s time to fucking move on.
P.S. The Simpsons really suck at social commentary, almost as much as Family Guy.
Maybe I’m in the minority (only) here, but “Teenage Dream” is a JAM and “California Girls” is a MONSTER JAM.
Oh snap, I forgot it’s actually “California Gurls”. So much better.
when she talks about sex on the beach, that’s a drink I drink! so relate-able!
BOOBS.
Duh.
I watch the simpsons the way some people watch shows like “the news”
Am I the only one that caught the joke about Moe eating out Katy Perry?
