The Simpsons mocks Morrissey - Morrissey takes grand offense

heaven knows he's miserable now!

[quote] This is the most press The Simpsons has gotten in years.

Well, apart from Hank Azara constantly apologizing for voicing Apu.

Sorry, Hank Azaria.

It's literal violence!

[quote]"In a world obsessed with Hate Laws, there are none that protect me"

Possibly the most Morrissey thing anyone's ever said. I expect a new single with that title to drop any day now.

That Guardian article is hilarious.

Morrissey didn't have a problem being called a racist, but he DID have a problem being called FAT.

What an embarrassing old frau Morrissey is.

The episode also insinuated that Morrissey eats meat now.

Every day is like Sunday.

Morrissey is mad about something? [italic]Quelle surprise![/italic]

Morrissey is an asshole. I love The Smiths, but Morrissey has always been an asshole. He has never had a sense of humor about himself. No sympathy for him.

I love the Smiths, but Moz's assholery pretty much killed any interest I had in his post Smiths music.

Morrissey is a tiresome twat.

Bigmouth Strikes Again.

What an idiot - and a complete own goal. He would have been far better to have just laughed it off or ignored it completely

Cumourless Hunt.

It's difficult to work up enough strength to care about this.

I wish Morrissey would write a tune using that as a theme.

Morrissey can never just write anything off or ignore it. His entire life is an endless grudge-fest. There was a time when I thought he had other talents to compensate, but those days are long gone.

Imagine living with this guy.

Morrissey is a sad git.

Too bad he didn’t die from alcohol poisoning. He’s an odious little moron who still think we don’t know he’s a fag.

Morrissey is a British national treasure, just like Meghan Markle.

This Charmless Racist

Morrissey dropped the ball by not dying young. He could've been a legend. But now, he's an old, fat, humorless racist.

He’s right. So they’re implying he eats meat to make him seem hyptocritical? Pathetic. What assholes. I’ve always loathed the Simpsons.

Though, honestly, I didn’t realize it was still on...

That should be “hypocritical”

R20 Moz openly prances around LA with Latino twinks. He's not exactly deep in the closet.

Hi Morrissey!

A total asshole. But, is he clairvoyant?

Morrissey? The Simpsons? Is this a post from 1992?

He can stick it right up his Arsenal.

Ha! What R29 said!

In other news, Morrissey Rides a Cockhorse.

R29 R31 Morrissey? The Simpsons? Datalounge? Is this a post from 1998?

Oh dear, R8, that's a brand killer.

Guys, ladies, please please please please let him get what he wants.

Some girls are bigger than others

Simpsons, such timely topics!

The Simpsons is in a dilemma: Who or what can you make fun of when you fear a group forming a social media mob demanding for you to be canceled? Moz was an easy target.

[quote] He’s right. So they’re implying he eats meat to make him seem hyptocritical? Pathetic. What assholes. I’ve always loathed the Simpsons.

True. The Simpsons writers should have just covered how Moz lives in the US (and also in Italy at times?) while bitching about how London is unrecognizable as an English city and is full of foreigners. That makes him a hypocritical cunt.

It wasn't about him being hypcritical, but - with age - changed a core value (being a vegan) the fans loved about him. Shooting sausages at his fans was his way of shitting on their fond teen memories of him.

I agree that Moz is low hanging fruit. He's an aging pop star that no one likes. The Simpsons writers are too cowardly to go after golden goose Elon Musk. The Gaga episode was a pathetic ass kiss.

Morrissey is insufferable anyway - now more so.

R40 he is still vegan. And still a bit of a twat

Morrissey is a raging white supremacist, he deserves what he gets. He's also a pathetic closet case.

[quote] [R40] he is still vegan.

And? Was The Simpsons supposed to be literal? They didn't use his actual name. How on earth did anyone find out it's about Morrissey then? Some things matched, others didn't.

Why are you reading so much into a joke? The gag was that she had an idolized idea of him and when the real one came in he was the opposite of what she thought. That's very simple and straightforward.

What a pathetic closet queen has Morrissey turned into. Imagine being this mad at a cartoon.

So assuming he's being fucked by Latino dick, that means brown people are a problem in the UK only? What a hypocrite indeed.

I'd bet good money the writers were aware of his proclivities for brown meat -- pun intended in LA and made fun of it in the show on purpose.

I know I'd have.

So him and Neil Tennant used to be a thing?

No one's paid attention to The Simpsons in years. All he's done is shine a light on this "offense".

And it also shone a light on Morrissey. Something not even him releasing a cover album was able to do.

I have no sense of humour whatsoever and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

[quote]And still a bit of a twat

That's a gross understatement R43!

I can’t believe he’s crying racism.

He's not doing himself any favors with this.

Creepy bisexual.

I loathe the person he has become (or at least his public persona), but he was never all that closeted to anyone who paid attention. Even 25 years ago he spoke openly about the eroticism of the male body. He also told English journalist Nick Kent that his issue with relationships was that he had always been attracted to "men and women who weren't attracted to me."

[quote]The abundance of homoerotic imagery in his lyrics and album covers (Your Arsenal, for example, shows him brandishing a microphone in a highly suggestive manner) should not, he says, be taken as a veiled declaration of homosexuality. "I'm not running ahead and leaving clues hidden behind bus stops, as it were," he says. 'One of my physical encounters was with a man. That was 10 years ago. It was just a very brief, absurd and amusing moment,' adds Morrissey, in his best Oscar Wilde. "It wasn't love. I have never experienced that."

[quote]Has he slept with women? "Yes. I feel completely open. If I met somebody tomorrow, male or female, and they loved me and I loved them, I would openly proclaim that I loved them, regardless of what they were. I think people should be loved whatever their gender, whatever their age. I am open to everything. I accept that my experience is different from that of most men. But I feel reasonably normal. I don't feel like a freak. My world is bigger."

R55 The lyrics to This Charming Man are explicitly gay. Morrissey published a zine in the 80s about James Dean which included this quote:

[quote]A school friend. Paul Weaver, would later recall: "Jimmy WAS different than most boys. He was different in those days because, as I remember, he was often alone. For example, if the baseball team were to practice, often you'd see kids coming together in a car or a pickup, but Jimmy would usually arrive alone. He wasn't the kind of boy, well, in those days a coach would put his arm around a boy, not, well maybe partly in affection, but partly just to get near to talk. And this was common , you know, in baseball. But I'm sure that I felt at the time that Jimmy was uncomfortable. He'd just feel a little bit uncomfortable with you being that close. I don't recall ever seeing him on dates with girls. I always recall Jimmy riding his motorcycle, and I don't ever remember seeing a girl on it."

He's been telling people that he's gay without telling people that he's gay his entire career. He's not exactly a closet case.

"And when we're in your scholarly room/who will swallow whom?"

[quote] He's been telling people that he's gay without telling people that he's gay his entire career. He's not exactly a closet case.

He insisted on being asexual for most of his career. This wink-wink nudge-nudge wasn't very clever for an edgy and alternative singer. But neither the press nor his fans called him out on it.

"Humansexual" was pretty bad as well. He can be so stunted.

I don't blame him for being closeted in the 80s, 90s, and 00s. Unfortunately being pegged as a 'gay' musician will limit your career. Just look at Rufus Wainwright.

He's one of those artists where I had been able to separate the artist as the person from their work but the past few years have basically made it impossible. Based on his recent output, I don't think I'm missing that much.

You shut your mouth. How can you say he goes about things the wrong way? Morrisey is human and he needs to be loved just like everyone else does.

Remember in Nomadland the scene where she was covered in tatted Morrissey lyrics?

Benedict Cumberbatch played him.

I need more deets on the Mexican twink Moz in banging.

This was me watching the video at r28

I can relate. It shook me to my core. When will I be loved? It is the simplest desire, oooohhhhhhhhh.

Do people under 50 even know who Morrissey is? Such a random celebrity to parody. Maybe they can hit Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam next.

Oh, dear. Big mouth strikes again.

Fuck Morrissey. Great lyricist. Awful human being.

DON'T THEY KNOW WHO HE IS?????

Shush now, she’s just big boned.

R68 Moz and The Smiths is still very popular with angsty teenagers.

[quote] He's been telling people that he's gay without telling people that he's gay his entire career. He's not exactly a closet case.

Count me as one of the folks who has never found this mentality to be all that impressive. Own it or don't, but don't expect us to be impressed with the whole 'they just never really acknowledge it' thing. It's cowardice.

[quote] Everyone Is Horrid Except Me and Possibly You.

LOL!

No one bitches more than a punk. I never bought what hippies were selling but at least they had a sense of humour about themselves.

Morrissey is a walking cliché.

So often I have found that the musicians I most admire are truly awful people.

His horribleness is mostly funny to me at this point, though, because he's always complaining about everything and so no one takes him seriously anymore about anything. It's exactly like when you're finally successful at separating yourself from someone with BPD or NPD (and of course he has the latter) and you can safely enjoy from a distance stories about how horrible the person is.

He just left after 30 min..... SOOOO Morrissey........

He's become a fat old fuck.
