The Simpsons Isn't Real!!

[customersruinmylife]

Not especially sucky, but God damn annoying!!

A mother and her kid come up to the bar. What I find most annoying about the new bar is that they allow children at the bar, whereas in my old one, they weren't. The kid was about ten years old, and they ordered an assortment of meals and drinks, some of which were alcoholic.

SM = Stupid Mother
SK = Stupid Kid

I am making some pints of lager.

SK: Wait! Look at that! It's not like that in the Simpsons!
SM: What isn't dear?
SK: In Moes, the beer comes out in like, a second! Why is it taking so long?
SM: I don't know dear, maybe he doesn't know what he's doing.
Me:

Seriously! What the fuck? Instead of correcting your mutant offspring and telling them that there is a HUGE difference between animation and real life, you INSULT ME?

Let's just hope the kid believes the Looney Tunes cartoons with Coyote and Roadrunner are real and he finds himself walking off a cliff!

What a bitch. Looks like somebody's going to grow up to be a bonafide SC when she grows up.

There are actually several things I've personally noticed in "The Simpsons" that may be clues to its fictional origin. These include but are not limited to:

1. It's a cartoon.
2. The presence of three-foot tall blue hair on a suburban mother.
3. It's a cartoon.
4. Most individuals do not survive falls down canyons hundreds of feet deep.
5. It's a cartoon.
6. The show has been on the air for over ten years and no character has aged.

and finally,

7. It's a cartoon.

I am no expert, but perhaps your customer may find this information helpful.

What? Wait, what? Sorry, I missed that. What is it?

[CreepyCarrie]

Oh, and don't forget the fact that it's a cartoon.

You mean there arn't bright yellow skinned three fingered freaks running around the country with seriously huge overbites? Wow.......

Now that lady has some real issues too. Wonder if she thinks gilligan's island is a documentary about a lost tour group and asks her cruise ship purder ffor doc steubing....

[Becks]

I always thought it was a long running documentary that was filmed in a new style.

BTW, does your bar looking ANYTHING like Moe's Tavern?

You know, I understand that it's a cartoon - but it's really a cartoon written for adults.... or at least teens to adults..... why is a child that doesn't know the difference between real life and a cartoon watching the Simpsons? Oh yeah - 'cause his parents are idiots and they probably have no idea what he's watching. Let's just hope he doesn't come across old episodes of Beavis & Butthead and decide to try some of their activities on his own.......

Or Family Guy, for that matter.

Actually, there are. Except for the yellow skin, that is. They all live in West Virginia

But seriously, it's actually scary that some people can't tell TV from reality. I'm actually surprised that these people haven't complained to their TV stations complaining that there aren't disclaimers on cartoons

It looks NOTHING like Moes Tavern. It had a renovation a couple of years ago and it looks pretty upper class and modern, bright lights, plasma screens, and marble surfaces.

I think when an obvioiusly non-realistic entity has been in the public consciousness for long enough, the "suspension of disbelief" becomes permanent.

Take, for example, my old friend Kermit the Frog. I've seen videos of Jim Henson actually holding Kermit at interviews, making him move and speak, but somehow in my head I can't connect the dots. Jim Henson is a person, and Kermit is a person. They are both separate entities. I know on an intellectual level what's going on, but can't seem to get over my own suspension of disbelief.

That's how I know that Kermit IS real and that he DOES have a soul and that Kermit WILL go to heaven when he dies and that Kermit won't EVER die...

Yes, I do turn 25 this month, but what's that go to do with anything

I have the same feelings about all of the Muppets. They do such a good job in hiding the puppeteers on camera that they appear to be living, intelligent "people." But cartoons? Gimme a break.

Uhhhh....that's a little harsh isn't it? The kid didn't do anything wrong, it was the mother who put her foot in her mouth big time.

Maybe she's a Thermian!

Oh, I don't know, I think she deserves to have her kid go Cornholio on her...!
