I didn't hate this episode quite as much as the other reviews did. The only joke that I thought was in bad taste was the anti religion one at the very end. I didn't know young people were still obsessed with pop stars at all in 2023. That feels like such a late 90s sort of thing.
Homer got some pretty funny lines in this and there was some good visual humor. I hope and pray flaming hot Oreos become a real thing someday! The two songs in the episode have funny bits in them.
I'm a 33 year old who's been watching the show since I was an infant. Is modern Simpsons as good as it was in the first 10 seasons? Undoubtedly no but I don't really expect it to be either. It would be impossible to maintain that level of quality for 30+ years and people need to except that things change.
