It’s a lot of work but it’s kind of awkward and overly animated. The Simpsons isn’t this overly posed out and doesn’t need to be, it’s not making things funnier.
They just batted out a cool song for this episode, almost makes me want to dig into the Smiths/Morrissey catalogue, I was busy digesting forgettable grunge-pop in their day. The singing is actually very good on this!
@@joebutler3608 honestly go do it I'm a huge Smiths/Morrissey fan and this was pretty funny. A summing up but missing the point of his songs/persona, funny none the less 🤣
@@MIKE-TYTHON na dude no worries. but what i was trying to get at was anyone who is a really big Smiths/Moreissey fan knows he can be kinda douchey to put it nicely lol and if your a big enough fan you know plenty of the controversies hes been involved in. So watching the episode it was easy to realize that at some point they were gonna bring it up.
🎶"That joke isn't funny anymore...It's too close to home and it's to near the bone, too close to home and it's too near the bone more than you'll ever knooooooooowwwwww....." 🎶
It's pretty dire, the animation of Morrissey is great but Benedict Cumberland doing his accent should not do it anymore, it sounds like mild Scouse, not laconic, slightly nasally Manc, why do Londoners think that everyone from the North speaks like that? I have Londoners trying to impersonate my fairly well spoken Cheshire accent and it sounds like this. I'm actually from the North, know the accents, and it's crap.
@@bigbowlowrong4694 yeah I feel the same. The over the top expressions with his hands and seeing how smooth it is feel unnatural in a way. Maybe it's just bias because of the bad writing in recent time. I also don't like the voice acting now. I know the actors get older and their Voices change but it just sounds obnoxious now and to clear. Was better 20 years ago
If this episode aired 10 years ago I probably wouldve gleefully snickered at the portrayal of present-day Morrissey, but now, in 2021, it makes me want to listen to the Smiths/Morrissey. It's not that he isn't a wanker, there's a certain charm to the unrelenting negativity, but that singing...it's beautiful. I know Johnny Marr is a great player, but i give him credit for going against the grain with this style more than I ever did in their time. Morrissey should lighten up (no pun intended); this episode likely boosted their catalogue sales significantly.
I'd really love to see how you'd react if somebody did an episode based on you and your work just to ruin it at the end by showing you as having turned into a fat and crass racist and sellout, all just because you dared to think for yourself and say some things that didn't fit with the mainstream consenus. Satire is one thing. But this was just a straight out attack on him. And a very low and unfunny one at that. Other celebrities got to voice their own characters on the Simpsons, meanwhile Morrissey wasn't even informed about the episode based on him, let alone be allowed to have any word on how he's portrayed. This was just vile. And it's a shame because the episode started really damn good just to then ruin it completely. It was probably an attempt of the Simpsons' creators to clear up their name after the entire scandal around Apu by attacking another famous celebrity that's been accused of "racism" by the politically correct mob. It really shows how low the Simpsons have come. They haven't been funny in years.
@@SebBrosig To be fair, at first I was impressed with the Morrissey-styled lisp but now it does sound more like someone doing an impression of a Liverpudlian than a Mancunian. The intonation particularly. I wouldn't be surprised if they deliberately made Quilloughby to NOT sound Mancunian!!
Although I don't like the new Simpsons episodes as much as I love the classic ones, I must say that this one was the funniest new episode I've seen in years. So much stuff is going on in it, and I genuinely had to laugh in more than just a couple of scenes.
okay look, i get why morrissey is mad about this but no one should hate on benedict though. poor guy just did his job as an actor and now he gets hate for it.
I see what you mean, but while they're both in that "alt Northern" archetype, this is NOT the same Northern accent. Quilloughby's accent is from Manchester (see: Noel Gallagher, of Oasis fame), while Jarvis Cocker is from Sheffield (a distinct variation on the Yorkshire accent -- see also actor Sean Bean), an industrial city which also has these terraced houses as seen in the video. Benedict Cumberbatch went to the Victoria University of Manchester back in the day, and he drew on that experience for his accent here. (I'm also from the same neck in the woods as Cocker, so I can tell you -- this is not a Yorkshire accent).
It's quite terrible, he sounds like a cut price Ringo, when he should have practised his laconic Manc twang. We Northeners do not all speak in this textbook North accent, there's striking variations.
If Disney keeps pumping out these good episodes like they have been, seasons 29, 30, 31 and 32 onwards will continue to be positive move for the series
@@j57628 Oh,I've only been a fan since 83, so that's 38 years,maybe being able to differentiate between a Manchester and Liverpool accent.an ardent fan wouldn't know he was from Manchester,the accent they gave him was Liverpudlian,which is why in a sarcastic joke;yes joke, I said I never realised he was from Liverpool.I'd have to be pretty dim to be a Smiths/Morrissey fan all these not know he comes from Manchester.
Quilloughby: Zero times two is still zero. Me: Figures fantasy Quilloughby knows what a zero looks like, the real one sees a zero every time he looks in a mirror. 😏
Hahahahahaha the song is amazing… And the dance moves are on point… Morrissey hasn’t done anything decent in 20 years… the simpsons either until now.. :) this and spiderpig
Great design, really looks like the younger Morrissey but the voice isn't quite right, it's not Manc enough, it sounds like a Londoner doing a Scouse accent, as Londoners often think all Northeners talk/sing like that. There's a lilt, a humour and a laconic slightly nasally Manc tone that's not there.
Me gusta la musica de los smiths y morrisey, me gustan los simpson, así que para mi fue disfrutable. Ell hecho de que los simpson le hayan dedicado un espacio a Morrisey, aun que fuerfa para burlarse de el, dice mucho sobre el legado de los smiths, solo no entiendo por que se ensañaron tanto con el, como sea que divertido.
