when The Simpsons It premiered in 1989, and it changed the sitcom forever with its unique joke form, and now seems to be lost as the series has seen the Golden Age for a long time. Directly not suitable for a healthy family sitcom Family Relationship and Waltonin countless other series, the setting/punch line format is used, which is consistent with the canned laughter to today, The Simpsons The audience resonates so much because it is willing to spread jokes at such a shocking speed through the combination of dialogue and visual gags that they simply have no room for laughter to tell the audience when they should think something interesting.
Actually, the plot comes from The Simpsons The Golden Age will undergo dozens of revisions to ensure a second of runtime is not wasted, resulting in a unique form of jokes that elevates the series to legendary status, as humor is so intensive and unheard of that every plot of this era can be re-watched indefinitely without ever getting old.
The Golden Age Simpsons Joke Format
YouTube creator super eye mace breakdown joke format The Simpsons Past videos “The Simpsons: How It Happened” are so special, it’s a must-see for any hard-working fan of the Simpsons.
Taking “Bart sells his soul” as a main example of execution in this form of jokes, we testify to why The Simpsons The canned laughter so common in live-action sitcoms at the time would ruin and why the delivery of this fast shot fell so well when no other shows were going on at the time.
When Bart Simpson found himself in an existential crisis after selling his soul to Milhouse for five dollars, he took back what he was doing to take over to his business by riding his bike.
In 15 seconds, five jokes happened, and the pace was so relentless that you only need to see it to believe it.
During this time, Bart’s bicycle was knocked down by a street rover, leading the audience to believe that his bicycle was destroyed (joke one). Bart felt relieved to find that the street sweeper just shined his bike without any damage (joke), just before the bike collapsed because it was actually destroyed (joke III). After hearing the man’s crazy cache on the street rover, Bart learned that the man’s purpose was to destroy the bike for his own entertainment (joke 4), just before driving the vehicle to the subway station stairwell, then exploded and exploded (joke 5).
This exercise upgrades The Simpsons It means that the joke format is too complicated to execute a draft for each plot because a lot of things happen.
compete Sitcoms have no chance
Change comedy forever with its unique form of jokes, presenting in its golden age The Simpsons By contrast, a new trail will make all other competitive sitcoms look incredible.
My personal favorite example proves how common this joke structure is The Simpsons The Golden Age can be found in Season 7’s “Bart on the Road,” when Lisa told Homer that Bart bought a fake ID, rented a car, and went to the World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee with his friends, only to be stranded after spending all the money.
In another amazing fifteen-second event sequence, Homer’s face is overcome by darkness, and he excuses himself, puts on the helmet of dangerous goods, screams until it mists, calmly puts the helmet back in place, and tells Lisa flatly that he will grab the money so that bart can make money so he can murder him. In this case, the “focus” is a kind of frustrated Lisa lament that if her father murdered her brother, then her brother would know she drove him out. This joke once again incorporates incredible humor into a short time because of its fanatical pace, leaving no room for laughter.
So, next time you watch The Simpsonskeep this joke format in your mind because it not only distinguishes the Golden Age of the series from the more modern (read: medium level) iterations, but it definitely brags about contemporaries, as no other mainstream shows at the time convey such jokes in such jokes.
