<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, The Simpsons<\/em> made headlines for finally ending the long-running joke of dad Homer strangling his oldest son Bart. In the episode \u201cMcMansion & Wife,\u201d which aired on October 22, Homer met his new neighbor, who noted that Homer had \u201cquite a grip\u201d as they shook hands. In response, Homer jokes to his wife Marge, \u201cStrangling the boy has paid off,\u201d before adding, \u201cJust kidding. I don\u2019t do that anymore. Times have changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The news was met with a lot of people saying, \u201cFinally!\u201d and pointing out that a dad strangling his son for laughs is not really funny. Well, hold off on that praise and applause, folks, because Simpsons<\/em> co-creator James L. Brooks has some words to say about Homer\u2019s woke reformation. Not only does he deny that the show is going to stop the strangulation gag, he denies it with his whole chest.<\/p>\n

\n

The Simpsons\u2019 patriarch will continue to get aggressive with his son, co-creator and producer James L. Brooks tells PEOPLE. <\/p>\n

Asked about that episode, Brooks tells PEOPLE, \u201cDon\u2019t think for a second we\u2019re changing anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooks then showed an illustration of Homer strangling Bart, who was holding a smartphone with a headline that read, \u201cSimpsons: No more strangling.\u201d Text in a word bubble showed Homer yelling at his son, \u201cWhy you little clickbaiting-!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing’s getting tamed. Nothing, nothing, nothing,\u201d Brooks continues. \u201cHe’ll continue to be strangled\u2014[if] you want to use that awful term for it. He’ll continue to be loved by his father in a specific way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite Brooks\u2019 declaration, Homer hasn\u2019t actually strangled Bart (Nancy Cartwright) on air in some time. According to IGN, Homer last strangled Bart on screen during the show’s 31st season, which aired from 2019 to 2020.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

[From People]<\/p>\n

Goodness, James, read the room here. WTF is this, \u201cHe’ll continue to be loved by his father in a specific way\u201d crap? Child abuse is not funny and those headlines gave The Simpsons<\/em> more attention than it\u2019s had in a while. In fact, there were a lot more people commenting over the Internet that \u201cThe Simpsons<\/em> really hasn\u2019t been funny in years\u201d<\/em> than there were fans saying, \u201cOh man, you know what would make that show funny again? Watching a dad show his young son love by putting his hands around his neck for laughs.\u201d Times have changed. You can either evolve with them or get left behind, and if you run into the consequences for not keeping up, you have no one to blame but yourself.<\/p>\n
