Death Of A Franchise

As if new epsiodes of The Simpsons aren’t bad enough—and they are—on the episode that aired here yesterday, JABF10 (’Marge Gamer’), the whole thing was sped up by 5-10% (I assume this was done locally). The end result? Ridiculous and distracting high-pitched voices. Very not cool. I assume that’s to fit more material into a small amount of time, but that’s stupid because it was a particularly terrible episode to begin with that could have been easily shortened (or, shockingly enough, they could have shown less advertisements).

Compare the original, sped-up version to the slowed-down, ‘how it should sound’ version.

    O.o — Also the voice difference was more than I expected :/

    After the scene with the tight pants, I just thought his pitch was elevated for … you know. Though I did notice other characters had high pitches… I just didn’t notice notice.

    Yeah. I saw the promo for it, which had the elevated voice and showed that section with the tight pants, so I figured that was it until I saw the episode proper.

    Show less ads? Pffft. That would mean less money. Capitalism for the win.
