For me it was Lisa Goes Gaga. It was focused entirely on Lady Gaga who played herself and was awkwardly inserted, I don't mind the occasional brief celebrity appearance or when they lend their voice to other characters (ex. Meryl Streep playing Jessica Lovejoy in Bart's Girlfriend) but they started to feel so forced. I tried watching the occasional episode afterwards but people like JJ Abrams would show up in Do PizzaBots Dream of Electric Guitars? and I'd lose interest.
I have started watching the show again but I am curious who else has lost interest due to an episode or trend especially those who have been watching the show since its beginning.
For me it's the one where one of Marge's sisters comes out as gay and Marge is the only person who is uncomfortable with it, which felt completely out of character.
Especially since she chastised Homer for his own homophobia earlier in the show
This episode kinda hit home for me because of that, honestly. My mom loved gay men but she was not respectful towards her sister being gay and would call her a dyke all the fucking time and constantly bitch about gay and bi women. It took me coming out as bisexual to her to get her to quit that shit. After that, she focused more on her sister being a bad person because she’s an abusive loser that would only talk to her when she needed money. :)
I'm glad your mum came around for you. Sorry to hear about her sister.
