Gotta say your spot on with your observation, the internet the hundreds of networks has changed how we see entertainment and the Simpsons had to change with the times, now if they did a good job of that is up to personal opinions but it had to be done.
In before some person commenting that MLP is mentioned in the video and/or the comments and claiming it means that "teh ponez r takking over teh interwebs"
O.T: Eh, I never even found the Simpsons to be that funny to begin with. Much prefered Futurama.

Mate put that away. Ya wont need itthe spud said:Awesome episode as always, Bob. Also, I completely agree that Adventure Time>FiM.
TBH, nobody in the brony community community cares if moviebob prefers Adventure Time, we just like it that he doesn't hate FiM.
You're right about the show having to change with the times, but that change is exactly why I (and a lot of others I'm sure) don't like it as much anymore. It did become less universal and less relatable, and in doing so, it became less fun to watch. The Simpsons still isn't a bad show, it's simply not the same show I fell in love with years ago.
Also, yes, Adventure Time is the better show. We can agree on that.

You sir just won the internet, what are you going to do now?Jumplion said:
BTW: no mention to "Marge vs the Monorail"? Considered by critics and fans alike to be one of the funniest episodes of all time? Even as a special mention in the credits?
Did anyone watch that Christmas episode this year? One of the best episodes of the recent seasons in my opinion.
I had a discussion like this with my friend who still likes spongebob. Basically I said that everything needs to die at some point. When something is created it often needs a purpose or fulfill a desire however trite or small it may be. When it has met that goal and expanded upon all the options that gave that show or story the spark to exist and be loved by it's audience it now has to take it's leave.
Though as a fan it's hard to hear this but it's simply the truth. You can't let something exist for it's own sake. When it exists just to be there you encourage stagnation. It no longer is a product with a heart it's just an object that's there to be observed. As result of letting a Zombie show persist, other creators are encouraged to mimic that show so they too can gain some form of immortality which causes both shows that are worse and succeed or shows that are terrible both of which weaken the medium's ability to create new and different things that have no intention of being Zombies.
The Simpsons needs to die so that someone else may live.

Yeah, I know, it just makes me feel secure having it around, for protection. It gives me peace of mind.ToastiestZombie said:Mate put that away. Ya wont need itthe spud said:Awesome episode as always, Bob. Also, I completely agree that Adventure Time>FiM.
I like Adventure Time better too.
I came into the Simpsons in the 2000's so I missed the golden years. Nevertheless, I still go to that show more often than not. Remember that No Right Answer [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/no-right-answer/5116-The-Simpsons-vs-Futurama] video on Futurama vs Simpsons? I side with Futurama but the Simpsons is still quality stuff from time to time.

Yeh, I know what you mean!
My main problem with the recent Simpsons seasons are the celebrity episodes. Every time a character breathlessly yells the celebrity's name my enjoyment of the episode dies. It's like the show and the celebrity are just stroking each other's egos for that entire scene or episode. It's honestly agonizing, part of why I not just avoid any episode that is billed with some celebrity.
Also, I really do love a steamed ham.

I'll be traveling to the land of OOO and drop by Equestria to see how things are doing, maybe research on what park Regular Show is based on and jump into the internet.RaikuFA said:
Though I do wonder, how many people really prefer Adventure Time because they watch both shows and prefer it, or just hate My Little Pony by default and automatically give Adventure Time the trophy?
Seems the comments section of this video has gone in a drastically different direction? TBH, I wish moviebob would just do an episode on MLP and bronies already so we know concretely what his thoughts are. Now he could like MLP but prefer adventure time, or hate MLP and love Adventure Time. We just want to know!
Anyone else who thinks Pinkie Pie watching Adventure Time is the reason she is so batshit insane?
I have watched only the first episode of it and it was one of the greatest WTF moments of my life, I did like it though. I do however like FIM better, I can't really explain it, but there is something to that show that just makes me feel great.
Bob are entitled to his own opinion though. I still consider the Simpsons great, but I prefer Southpark and Family Guy, the later has actually been getting better. Not to mention ponies, which is definatly my number one guilty pleasure.

I feel out of touch with the internet in not understanding why there are so many MLP avatars in this thread, nor why they all seem to be genuine
