Learn the Superheroic Plotline Of The SIMPSONS Episode Seth Rogen Wrote (And Will Star In)!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
From the blog of The Hollywood Reporter’s hard-working James Hibberd:
The "Simpsons" episode written by Seth Rogan logline: Comic Book Guy creates a super hero, it's turned into feature film, Homer plays the hero. Seth plays his personal trainer. Homer gets into great shape, but then the movie is over and he can't afford the personal trainer anymore and his life becomes hell.

Pretty boring.
Hopefully the entertainment is in the writing, and not in the overall episode? -
Futurama rules
-
And first.
-
Pwned.
-
...is eating itself. Parodies of satires of cliches starring people who write themselves into characters based on characters created to resemble other actors. Or something. Hollywood is eating itself.
-
Maybe if they do it four more times one day it will be funny? Anyway, they always suck up to their guest stars for whatever reason. So it's only natural they would also start letting them write too. There's 0 quality control for about 10 years now. They don't really need to try at all at this point. People will watch anyway.
-
Whats not to love! You people even talk shit on short little plotlines?! You guys are nuts!! Sometimes I think talkbackers just have to be negative about EVERYTHING!! Since when have The Simpsons ever failed us? And combine that with one of the funniest guys in hollywood......fucking brilliant! I can't wait to watch this shit!
-
Or can it?
-
Ok, that's about 5 minutes of screne time.
-
And here I though their fate was sealed.
-
if you haven't watched it in eight years, how would you know the quality? either you're psychic, lying, relying on other peoples' opinions, basing huge generalizations on commercials you see in passing, or spouting off at the mouth about a subject you know jackshit about. And yes, Rufferto, people will watch anyway. You don't have to. move along to another show you don't despise so and stop worrying about it. Sheesh. Some people are only happy when they can bitch about something.
-
looks fucking awesome! Cheech and Chong ripoff my ass! you must not have been paying very much attention to the trailer! I'm so sick of people seeing a duo smoking weed and automatically it's a fucking Cheech and Chong ripoff! Whiny fucking BITCHES!!!
-
I also might not. The show needs new writers, even if it is just for a day, at least Seth has been a part of writing some good stuff in the past.
-
so this is like all the horses they have had?
-
Of what the plot is in the second half of the episode is completely different than the first half.
-
I hope they "Unleash the awesome power of apples" in this episode!!!
-
I'm going to start calling him Seth Rogaine. HAHAHAH!! OMG!!! GET IT?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! No, but seriously, he's pretty funny, even though I thought 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN was waaaaaaaaay overrated, SUPERBAD sucked, and WALK HARD was about a bazillion times better than both and deserved to be a huge hit.
-
But seriously, cancel this abomination already.
-
I hope that isn't what he sounds like in real life. And the joke with Daniel Clowes fell flat. Having him want to do Batman was a bit on the nose. A better joke would have featured him creating a superhero no sane person would possibly like. Of course that was already done to death in The Tick. Mucilage Man anyone?
-
That I've see that episode before, with the PowerSauce bar. The movie was great, but man... the show sucks now.
-
THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!!!
-
I have been watching for the past 8 years. It doesn't put a big smile on my face. I might say that I have yet to see a new episode worse than "Don't Fear The Roofer" featuring Ray Romano. But that's a pretty shit compliment.
-
Just thought I'd let the Devin Faraci fans know that...
-
And yeah, in comparison, they've pretty much sucked hard. ESPECIALLY compared to the old ones. Oh, and the movie was lame too.

This is the equivalent of adding a Cousin Oliver. Stunt casting at it's worst. Was a great show, but all good things must come to an end.
-
during the last few months. Damn it's a good show. But also the transition from oldsimpsons to newsimpsons is not that shocking this way. There's some funny shit in all of the seasons I tell you. And how can someone hate the Simpsons movie is beyond me. Maybe if it was ten years since they saw an episode.
-
There's something we can agree on...Nah, you're alright.
To be fair I have a lot of love for the Simpsons. It had a golden age, then a silver age, but now we're in the age of lead. It relies to much on randomness and a tone that twangs about like a rubber band. I'd love to see them do an episode where nothing unnatural or bizarre happens, just to see if they still could. -
I:
-love the simpsons
-have a good sense of humor
-have watched the Simpsons faithfully
-have a pretty big penis (OK, that last one was for me, but I spend a lot of time in the AICN talkbacks and I have to make sure the ladies know I'm packin!)
and I didn't like the movie at ALL!!!
there were some funny moments, but here is my gripe: if you're gonna do it, do it RIGHT. the movie is 90 minutes, so it at LEAST has to be as funny as 3 Simpsons episodes back to back. and it wasn't. at all.push the god damn envelope! it'sa movie, go crazy! I wanted to see some REALLY funny stuff, and instead I got a sort of weird and not as funny version of the show on FOX. -
DIE.
-
Period.
-
Seth Rogan as a cartoon voice. You couldn't just say, HEY ITS MONDAY!
-
I love that the guy bitches (with ample justification) about Hollywood fucking up his stuff, but has no problem appearing in a once-beloved TV show that's now well past its sell-by date.
Also, ain't the guy supposed to be a recluse somewhere in Northamptonshire? I guess he literally phoned it in. -
even for something as the movie they still couldnt get that style of humor during the 90's era that they had. Even though it was really witty with crap like spiderpig and all, it's still the 2000's simpsons form of humor, which is totally different and utterly worse than the 90's era.
-
Seriously, it's the funniest stuff in the last 2 years. Vagiant!www.myspace.com/elprivates
-
Whoops!!! www.myspace.com/elprivates
-
Seriously though it's been renewed for 4 more years I can see it run through to it's 25th season. Thoughts?
-
Battlestar Simpsons!!! thats what we need next :D
-
When Herc? When????
-
Alan Moore - Watchmen Babies in the DVD, "V for Vacation" ..... One of the funniest, most geeky moments the Simpsons has ever given us....
-
And then relaunch it a year later with a teenage Bart and Lisa. I almost want them to do that. Could be interesting, the two flash forwards were great. But of course, the way they've mocked stunts like this, It would look pretty stupid.
-
Was when Bart sold his soul. Arguably, it's been all downhill from there but downhill for the Simpson's is still miles above the competition. While there are more stinker episodes these days, they still have plenty good ones. And I really enjoyed the Simpson's Movie. It just needed more Frink. Of course, the Simpson's always needs more Frink.
-
But I can't stop watching. It's like hanging out with your buddy from high school who you don't really like but you have been hanging out with him for so long that you just feel obligated to.
-
A sarcastic fat ass? You know, because that would be such a stretch from the other roles he plays. I'm sure Devin over at CHUD is already writing up a billion star review on this episode already.
-
jokes in the "new" Simpsons. They used to have moral lessons in some great old episodes but it was never in your face. It was more ambiguous so the viewer could take what he wanted from it. What's most pathetic to me is the Simpsons today actually tries to mimic shows that have taken from it. It tries hard to be some sorta liberal South Park. I just can't laugh at that. The show used to have much more ingenious tact. It seems to have melted into something the very thing that it used to make fun of all the time. O well. I'm probably the only one who thinks that way.
-
occurred during Family Guy's second season, which had at that time not become anywhere near the juggernaut it is today. I don't think the comparison is really valid.
-
I finally figured out what's wrong with newer Simpsons after the 90s episode last season. These writers are not invested in the characters. It's not so much that they changed the show's history -- I really liked the episode, honestly. But when people started complaining, it brought to light that that was the problem. A big part of the appeal was you felt for the characters and wanted them to win in the end.
Plus, It used to be the really bizarre stuff was saved for Halloween episodes. Now, continuity doesn't matter, and anything they smoke is a potential episode. Luckily I have "My Name Is Earl" now, which has everything the Simpsons used to -- bent humor, outstanding and sprawling supporting cast, vulgarity, and heart. -
and shot in the back of the head, just for having the name Seth Rogen.
-
it no longer has any heart. In the past the characters had to go through a major struggle each episode... Homer being tempted to cheat or facing his mortality, Bart struggling to pass or dealing with the heartbreak of his first crush, Lisa campaigning to have her beloved Malibu Stacy be meaningful to young girls. All of that came from excellent writing, which is what the show has been missing for many years. I went to the movie with very low expectations and was still disappointed. Laughed maybe once or twice.
-
You just gave my idea for the series finale. I haven't watched the show in a couple years, just bask in its prime on DVD, but have been thinking for a while that the coolest thing they could do in the series finale was have it so that everyone has aged realistically. Or would that just put us back in the timeline when Lisa almost married the British snob? Hell, I'd revisit that for an hour or two. As long as it's not a damn clip show coughSeinfeldcough.
-
..waitaminute..that's the guy from Knocked up?!?...eh, pass.
-
family Guy is my cup of sake.(Japanese rice wine)although sophomoric,it delivers the goods when spoofing pop culture, especially superheroes (the Iceman gaybar scene was some funny shit.) that and Robot Chicken, is that show still airing BTW?
