My Favorite Cartoon ¡V The Simpsons

Watching a hilarious cartoon on television may seem like the most relaxed thing in the world. However, ¡§The Simpsons¡¨ is not only a stupid funny cartoon to keep us laughing for joy but also a clever TV program mixed up with irreverence and slightly twisted morality. I¡¦m not saying that how much influence this show can bring to our reality. But I think it¡¥s very well written. Also it constantly reflects and spoofs our society.
The whole story takes place in a mythical town of Springfield in America. Just like an ordinary American family. Homer Simpson, 36 years old, is a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and also a dimwitted father. His wife Marge, 34 years old, is a homemaker with a real high and weird hairdo. Homer dislike hi...

    The Revolution of 1800 was a turning point for American politics as power peacefully transitioned from the federalist party to the democratic-republican party when Thomas Jefferson, a democratic republican, won the election against John Adams. Adams lost the election because his support decreased after he went against his party’s advice to go to war with France. The French revolution created another divide between federalists and democratic-republicans as the federalists sided with the British and the democratic republicans sided with the French. Along with differences about the French Revolution, the Federalist party had opposing ideas of a strong central government, loose construction of the Constitution, and support of a market economy compared to the democratic republicans who supported strong state

    Since television came into existence, it has evolved into a useful tool to spread ideas, both social and political, and has had a great effect on the generations growing up with these heavily influential shows. To these younger generations, television has taken the role of a teacher, with the task of creating a social construction by which many of us base our personal beliefs and judgments on. This power allows television shows take the opportunity to address problems in a manner that many audiences can take to heart. Many television shows present controversial topics in a comical matter, in some ways to soften the blow of hard-hitting reality at the same time bringing attention to the issue being addressed. In the television show, Everybody Hates Chris, season one, episode four entitled “Everybody Hates Sausage”, the stereotypes that continue to fuel racism are examined in a satirical motif, and class is presented in a comical way, but carries serious undertones which present a somewhat realistic view of the different social strata within the United States.

    For openers: it’s brilliantly written, performed and film. Each episode has the polish of an excellent feature film – with tighter yet more complex... The show is also relentlessly entertaining. The characters are engrossing. The plot twists astonishing but coherent, and the dialogue mined with ironies and poetic resonance quite beyond what we are used to hearing on the boob tube or even on the commercial cinema screen these days.

  • Analyzing Social Class and Humanity in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Seinfeld

    ...ng it in light of Godot, we can appreciate something much more fundamental, that Seinfeld is every bit as humanitarian as Godot because it shows how our human frailties militate against our desire to end all human contact with others. Any critic who out-of-hand dismisses the sit-com as trash should for this reason alone be thoroughly distrusted, because the desperate communitarian cultural function of the sitcom has been completed ignored. I suggest that there are reasons we watch sitcoms that are not all reducible to the notion that we are stupid, cultural dupes. Seinfeld, as well as Waiting for Godot, offers us insights into what makes us human. At some basic level, this is a compelling explanation for why we care to watch television as much as it is for why we go to live theatre.

    After twenty five seasons, The Simpsons continues to be an influential show. With animation as a medium, the writers use satire to point out the stereotypes the media generates. In some instances, they take a stereotype and push it to the extreme, like Apu and his eight children, and other times they go against the social norms, like Lisa being a strong independent woman. Through this the viewers are reminded just how much say the media has in their perception of others and how they are constantly making judgments of any entire group of people based on the characteristics of some. I do not think that stereotypes will ever cease to exist, but I do believe that it is important we, at the very least, are aware of what they are.
