S30 E1- Bart's Not Dead

The episode starts with Bart refusing a dare to pull the fire alarm on his sister's peformance. As he corridors the next day, he is called in by Principal Skinner. Homer and Marge are stood there, anxiously waiting. When Marge hears of the news that Bart refused a dare, she couldn't be any happier. She embarrasses Bart in front of his class. However, Homer is angry at Bart for refusing a dare. He tells Bart that he has to take a dare, no matter how dangerous it is.

The school bullies dare Bart to dive into the reservoir. With Homer's words resonating in his head, Bart accepts the dare. However, instead of landing into the water as intended, he falls onto the hard concrete ground on which the bullies are standing, which lands him in hospital. When he wakes up, he wants to avoid getting Marge upset, so he makes up a lie saying Jesus talked to him.

Soon, Bart's story starts to get popular, and to the extent where Christian movie producers hear of it. They offer Homer a movie deal, to which he accepts, and production starts. However, Lisa is on to him. He starts to have nightmares from Lisa's words. He ends up in Heaven in his nightmare, meeting Marge's father, Clancy Bouvier, and Jesus Christ, who hits his head with the word 'LOVE'.

Finally, the movie, which is called 'Bart's Not Dead', premieres, and it ends up being a big hit.  Bart confesses to Marge and Lisa that he lied, and Springfielders soon hear of it. Understandably, they are angry. Homer and Ned, the screenwriters, then announce that all the profits that they made will be donated to charity.

Sitting on top of their house's roof, Bart asks Lisa if God will forgive him for lying, to which she replies with, if God exists, he'll forgive him, as long as Bart regrets what he did. Just after this, they start falling, but land on a pile of leaves, breaking their fall. At the Pearl's Gates, Bart is shown at his death, and Homer says Jesus wants to meet him. Homer instead goes to Hindu Heaven, where he gets turned into a turtle, and then sent back to Earth.

The Simpsons- Cringy GIF

Now, in case the text on this GIF is too small to read for you, it says:
Homer: Lisa, I can't find my phone!
Lisa: You're texting on it.
Homer: *texts that infamous GIF of him walking backwards into the bush*

Now, I'm not sure if this is a real clip from an episode or it's just been edited (by someone VERY talented) however the musicians in the background indicate to me that it's from a real episode (presumably season 30, however, here in the UK the newer episodes take MONTHS to be shown on TV)
In my opinion, this GIF is very cringy, and I first came across it while looking for simpsonwave GIFS. I think that lately, the Simpsons has been tailor-made just for the younger generation (more specifically BuzzFeed millennials) with Hank Azaria resigning from the Apu voice due to it being politically incorrect (God, I HATE that phrase) and implementing computers, mobile phones, and tablets. Now in the early 2000s, the Simpsons did talk about things like the Internet, computers, cellphones, but those things were all invented in the 90s and they provided a good 'aesthetic' for Simpsonwave GIFS. But this doesn't give any aesthetic. It's more of a "HAHA! Old people cant use technology!! LMAOOO!!" thing. I also have an example of the Simpsons being cringy. Season 29, I think it was episode 15? Anyway, Bart controls Homer with an ancient Chinese book, Bart forces him to go to TunnelCraft Con. (which is a blatant copy of Minecraft). And I think it was the cringiest episode ever. Anyway, little rant over, go back to your day now.

My first ever post

So as you can tell from my domain name and the title of this blog, I am a Simpsons fan (and an avid one at that!) On this page, I review the episodes that I've watched and rate them on a scale of 1-10.
Well, that pretty much sums up my page, so why don't you go and read one of my other posts?
