DXP'ing, eating Proteinella pancakes and having Simpsons on in the background. . .

So is it me or have Homer and Marge been having a marital crisis every goddamn episode for the last 15 years or so?! Jfc how many times will you rekindle only to go back to having the exact same issue with eachother by the next episode!

It really says something about the times we live in. I bet the (lazy!) writers all come from broken homes, they obviously have no clue how a man and a woman in a normal marriage interact. You can't write what you don't know. They aren't even friends when the episode starts, so how they work towards setting their differences aside by the end of it is beyond me. "I learned..." doesn't cut it.

I remember back in the 90s when they were solid. They had underlying differences but there was always respect. Maybe one or two episodes every season highlighted more serious marital issues that needed mending, but overall their marriage was the very foundation of the show. And the notion that you don't need to have the same intrests or temperament in order to be happily married.

What happened? Aside from 'Sex and the City' and Tinder when ppl started losing track of a good thing when they saw it . . .

Like remember the time Homer cried like a bytch over potentially having to engage in a sexual situation with his willing, female co-worker cuz they had to share the same hotel room at some conference away from home? Good ole Homey lol

Today, he'd just have nailed her yellow ass. That's depressing.

And Marge didn't use to be such a nag. She had a life. Now it's like her only mission in life is to contradict every fucking thing Homer says or does, regardless if it effects her in any way or not. Just walking next to Homer and harassing him.

I dare you to watch any episode of the last couple of years and get back in here and tell me what Marge was doing for the duration of that episode.

I like marge’s sisters

I guess they represent the single wine aunts of today

I like the one who didn't sell out her celibate ways to marry Sideshow Bob and Troy.. I think it was Patty. Ain't no foolin' her

the show is so cringe and the dialogs are so weird , I can't even stand it as a background. It feels like they're trying to subliminally brainwash me or something.
