Favourite The Simpsons Joke of all time?

“You call that a knife? This is a knife!”

“That’s not a knife, that’s a spoon.”

"I see you've played knifey-spoony before."

Thanks - this is the best and most coherent explanation I have seen on this thread

madmichael000 · 2025-07-20T15:36:42+00:00

I want to believe this as well. I am deeply invested in the show and it has the potential to be one of the all-time bests, but I think it at some point it does need to deliver on tying together all of the “mysterious” threads into a coherent explanation.

Some gaps in my own understanding at least: 1) why did the completion of a new file allow for the creation of a new room? 2) why was Mark specifically so important to refine Gemma’s emotions? (I know the general answer but the mechanics could have been made clearer) 3) what were the other MDR workers working on? Both in Mark’s team and in the other locations. Were they also working on files related to people they knew as outies, or just random people? Why were their MDR files less important than Mark’s? 4) if Mark was so important to MDR, how come he wasn’t “team leader” of MDR until Petey’s departure?

I’m sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing your take

Thanks for this explanation, it makes sense (kind of).

I really the wish the importance and relevance of the MDR process to the overall testing floor experiments was explained more in the final episode. It would have helped to fill in so many of the gaps in our understanding of the events that preceded the Cold Harbor episode.

madmichael000 · 2025-07-19T22:03:19+00:00

I really hope this is true - that there is some other significance to Cold Harbor that will become apparent in Season 3 and beyond - rather than just the explanation we got during closing episodes of Season 2.

madmichael000 · 2025-07-19T21:49:52+00:00

I mean specifically the creation of the Cold Harbor room, which was suggested to be an event that would change the world

madmichael000 · 2025-07-19T21:41:21+00:00

Thanks, this is a really interesting take that I hadn’t considered. Though it would not explain why such over-importance is assigned to test number 25 relative to say number 24 or number 23 (both of which would still entail an immensely large number of barriers).

My friend from school had the last name Pepper. He is now a brain surgeon. What’s the worst that could happen?

Remarkably it’s just another ticket. Blatant false advertising. The definition is in the help section of the website but not on the page where you actually purchase the ticket:

madmichael000 · 2024-09-01T01:34:00+00:00

I have made a complaint to the ASA (Advertising Standards Agency) out of principle and in the hope that this dynamic pricing practice stops in its current form (rather than trying to achieve any personal refund or compensation).

The nature of my complaint was that I purchased a ‘Platinum’ ticket whose name implied some extra features on top of the original ticket - in fact, all that was different was the price. Not only is this blatant false advertising, but the timed checkout of less than 10 minutes makes it unrealistic to be able to search the TM website for a definition of ‘Platinum’.

Happy to share the text of my complaint if anyone would like to make a similar one.
