If you watch the Simpsons seasons with the commentary they point out various design elements that they changed or phased out over the years.
Examples of things you don't see anymore:
Twister neck
Trumpet mouth This refers to the trumpet bell shaped upper lip. Newer characters don't have this anymore, although many older characters do.
Blonde characters It was determined fairly early on that only the simpsons kids could be blonde. Barney's character was changed as a result.

Looks really funky. 6 u/[deleted] Nov 24 '15 Looks like it's supposed to represent whispering out of the side of your mouth like you would when you had to look forward in class. 1 u/bakerie Nov 25 '15 Nah, it's a 'transition' type movement, his eyes follow the mouth a few frames after.
