The Simpsons vs. Super Mario

[The Catboy]

I would say I hear more people talking about Mario these days than I do the Simpsons.

Plus
Futurama >>>> Mario >>>> Simpsons
At least to me personally.

What is it like 25th season now? Seasons 2-13 was the golden Simpson era. I mean things got alittle wacky in the 11,12,13 seasons but still very enjoyable. Personally Futurama has never been funny its weird because its made by the same person.

and he's doing a way better job as jake in adventure time.

Almost definitely The Simpsons. Mario is a super popular video-game, probably the most well-known by those who couldn't tell you what a Nintendo is... but The Simpsons is merch. Like, in the most remote place on Earth, devoid of all television and western influence, you will find people with Bart Simpson hats. Mario has a lot of merch, too, but it wasn't as widely distributed/bootlegged as Simpsons crap.

Actually the latest seasons, like 23 and 24 are surprisingly good. Having Ned hook up with Edna was a pretty good story. And before you complain, they left it up to the fans to vote if they should stick together or not and the result would be in season 24.

You're totally welcome to your own opinion.

That being said, you're wrong, and I pity you for it.

There. It needed saying. I said it.

I mean, Super Mario has been around since the 80's,

So has the Simpsons. Barely, but even without counting the Ullman shorts (which started in 97), the first full length episode aired in December 89. Actually the entire first season would've run in Fall 89 but they had too many problems with the korean animators and had to delay it.

Have to say the evidence, good 'ol Simpsons have not aged too well.

I don't know, I've managed for years now.

That's what I was thinking. Like older people and such who don't have time or give a shit about games. Mario isn't as... what's the word, outgoing (?) as much these days. Yeah he's basically Nintendo, but he isn't being pushed in our faces as much. The Simpsons, well it's hard not to see them on TV.

Pretty much this. I can think of a lot of people that know who The Simpsons are, but not Super Mario. I can't think of anyone that knows who Super Mario is, but not The Simpsons.

Does anyone remember when there was a point to The Simpsons?
When an episode would have a beginning, a middle, and an end that all tied together into one cohesive story?
Rather than just 22 minutes of random nonsense?
Yeah...it's been a while...

Having said that, The Simpsons are probably more widely known than Super Mario for the simple reason that The Simpsons have appealed to a larger audience for a longer period of time (heaven help us...).
