I'm 14, and American.


1. I like the Simpsons for pretty much the same reason I like every comedy show that I watch; because it's funny. There's not really too much beyond that for me.

2. I don't think that it takes a critical look on American society. Satirical, yes, but not critical.

3. Not at all. If it was just offensive, people would complain about it a lot more often, and it probably would have gotten canceled. I wouldn't say that the Simpsons are an accurate description of American society as a whole, but they just poke fun at it, instead of mock it.

4. Lisa. Smile She's the smartest Simpson [so far], and she has the character range of acting as the voice of reason to almost the opposite, and she can still go outside the defined boundaries that has already been established by her personality. To put it simply, while most of the other Simpsons have one or few ways of normally acting in the show. But for Lisa, there really isn't one specific personality that she's confined to.

Nationality: American, I live on the west coast (California).

Age: 15

Why do you like the simpsons?
The Simpsons are simply a funny show that I enjoy watching every now and then. Some of the episodes have fond memories tied to them, and as such I'd say that I prefer the older seasons to the newer ones.

What do you think about the Simpsons as a critical look at American Society?
I think it's hilarious. Most of their satires of common American culture are right on the mark, especially their portrayal of overzealous Christians like Ned Flanders. Wink You run into people like that every now and then. Occasionally they'll throw in a reference to current society and you just can't help but laugh, because you know it's true.

Do you think that it is offensive to the Americans?
Not at all. I'm American, and it doesn't offend me in the least. I believe that anyone who can't laugh at themselves... well, needs to work on that. Tongue Besides, the creators of the Simpsons are mostly Americans anyway. They're not laughing at us, they're laughing with us.

Who is your favorite character? Why?
I'd have to say my favorite character is actually a pair of characters. Mr. Burns and Smithers win out here; I find the duo hilarious. Smithers and his supposed "love" for Mr. Burns, and Burns's obliviousness to the whole thing. The way Burns is constantly trying to appear "evil", or the way he acts like a young man sometimes (getting a girlfriend). I think the relationship between the two is well-done and adds a critical part to the overall humor of the show.

In retrospect, you could say that this was one of the factors that contributed to my dislike of the Simpsons movie: Burns and Smithers were hardly ever in it. The essential humor brought to the show by its well-developed side characters was missing. Quite a disappointment.

Look at that hand, lying there
The room is dark, she shows no fear
I'm lying still, my eyes are wide
My heart is pumping, I'm still alive

I'm still awake against my will
What will it ever take
To still this burning in me?

Russian, 28 year old.

Why do you like the Simpsons?
The show manages to be funny and touching at the same time. It also features characters I grew bonds with, liked them very much. Not only Lisa; there are more. Marge, Maggie, even Bart sometimes, some of secondary characters. They are surprisingly alive, not just drawn characters but something more than that.

What do you think about the Simpsons as a critical look at American Society?
Er... not sure, really. Smile I think it does a good job showing good and bad sites of american society, but I live too far from the place to judge.

Do you think that it is offensive to the Americans?
Definitely no, unless Americans are idiots who are unable to laugh at their own imperfections. The Simpsons are rather "gentle", "indulgent" show, comparing to more rough ones like Family Guy, or South Park, where jokes are far more spiteful. Besides, The Simpsons often make fun of other nations too, I should know that Tongue But it's still normal.

Who is your favorite character? Why?
Lisa. Because she is an angel she is kind, caring and adorable person, at the same time she's smart and responsible. I like and respect people like that, and such people exist in the real life. They are all grownups though, and don't have Lisa's charm. Marge comes right after Lisa, maybe she's not as smart, but has her own advantages. Big Grin And the fact that Marge and Lisa love and understand each other a lot, makes me admire them both even more.
