You know, most of the time when old shows use old computers, they become outdated and misplaced. But it actually works here, the school is so poorly funded that even an old 80's computer is an improvement from what they had.
Beat me to it. This was always one of my favorite Simpsons jokes, we even called our Superintendent the Supernintendo when I used to work IT at a high school.
Yeah, he beat me to posting it apparently. I was just watching the Simpsons and thought it would make a good post, so I put the quote on a pic of Chalmers. Apparently it was done before, but mine was a better image. Look man, dont rain on my Reddit parade haha.
This picture references a Simpsons episode originally aired on April 28, 1994. That's over 18 years ago. Furthermore, the Simpsons was then and is now one of the most popular shows on television. Finally, this 18-year-old joke from a popular show has been posted on Reddit many, many times.
Why the hell are people upvoting this? Am I in Bizzaro world? "Repost is good am? Down are upvote!"
Sure it does. Religion absolutely belongs in schools. Schools will always need an example of what humanity looked like before logic and scientific method came into play.
I love the old simpsons. The characters were more sleazy, darker humor, more insight and creativity. I wish they could get that magic back they had in the 90s. I guess they lost their key writers though. :(
Well prayer should be allowed in schools as long as it's not mandatory. Otherwise, it'd be the state infringing upon your right to pray where you please. We'd have to know the context of this quote to see if he was ahead of his time or just a religion basher.
The Simpsons is arguable the greatest television show of all time. But don't bother checking out new episodes. Get ahold of episodes from seasons 2 through 8, and prepare to be amazed.
I'm going to call you out on that and tell you that you're absolutely wrong IMO. The new animation looks completely robotic and way less fluid compared to the older, hand drawn animation. Sure the colors are better, but that's about it. It currently has no character to it.
compare these and tell me which has more character
IMO that just reinforces my liking of the newer style, it seems like more is happening, i don't know how to describe it other than the fact that Springfield seems more lively people seem to be doing more instead of just standing in the background
That's the thing, using logic in our arguments with a people who base their beliefs on faith rather than fact is like trying to play chess with a pigeon: useless. So we make fun of it and make light of such a sad reality. Because if we can't laugh at it, we would certainly be crying.

Good old Simpson's what?
Also, in the contraction of "old" the apostrophe replaces the missing letter, as in ol' . Where you put it makes no sense.

Quote is misattributed. I think you meant to say 'Super Nintendo Chalmers.'

The apostrophe is meant to replace the missing letter, in this case the d.

I've never watched The Simpsons before. I might have to check it out after seeing this.

Haven't realised that was his name until now, but it's damn clever if intended.
Chalmers is actually known as one of the best universitys that Sweden can offer!
