Seeing it when I was younger it never even occurred to me they were anti gun. Guess when you are a kid you spend too long laughing.

This is why you watch King of the Hill. Dale Gribble/Bill Dauteurive are the prototypical Arfcommer.

Best show ever IMO.

It is taking something and turning it in to comedy by utilizing stereotypes.  It's how the Simpsons does humor for everything.  I wouldn't read in to it...

That episide is from back in the day when Conan O'brian was the producer. It is very pro-gun. Most of the episodes from back then were conservatively themed.



Now it's all liberal writers and hasn't been funny in years.

Used to love the show.  It always was a little left leaning but mainly focused on being funny.  Now it just pushes leftist bullshit all the time.  Fuck them.  20 years ago the show would have made fun of Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga now the have them on and celebrate them.  Fuck The Simpsons and fuck Obama.

I've paused it, I'm pretty sure that was just a gimmick for one of the trivia episodes.  iirc, it reads something like $437.00

I think the funniest scene ever was the opening where it was a beautiful day, people out walking and suddenly a sniper from the water tower starts sniping at people.



The letter carrier mail guy, all the sudden drops to one knee, draws his sidearm and starts returning fire.




Fucking hilarious.




I can't find it on youtube.

Even better if I'm remembering the correct one.  Flanders has some psychotic dream where he climbs a church tower and starts sniping people.  A passing mailman pulls an SMG from his bag and starts shooting back.

It's no secret that Matt Groening is pretty hardcore left liberal.  

In this episode Lisa said "The second amendment is a relic from the revolution days, it doesn't mean anything today," then Homer goes on a diatribe about the King of England pushing people around, to which Lisa backs down.

The satire is against gun ownership, make no mistake.

Damn, if I keep reading ARFCOM, there will be no TV shows left that aren't "anti gun". Oh, except that fucking cartoon with the dude that sells propane and propane accessories. That show is kind of derpa der, I think.

I think I finally understand why most ARFCOMMERS are single overweight men living in their moms basement. That is the only place they feel hasn't been over run by left wing libtards

Random episode:     From the trivia episode:



I couldn't say for certain whether it was changed early on, but most of the episodes 847.63 is pretty visible if you are looking for it and it's even clearer now in the HD episodes.  I'll be sure to check out the first few seasons when I'm done with the bar exam.

i've seen that episode, and i thought it was hilarious.  




and i don't give a shit what silly boycott shit liberal culture warriors do, either.  they just want to be mad about something, so fuck 'em.  i spent years and years with a political axe to grind, and i was downright miserable.  jon F'ing stewart could ruin my entire day.  then one day i realized that i was in a bad mood because i was putting myself in a bad mood.  i was actively seeking out stuff that i could get upset about.  what a goddamn waste of time!




you know what it reminds me of?  a bunch of junior high girls running around saying "you know what sally said about you yesterday? i was, like, so upset because she should just keep her mouth shut blahblahblah..."




if people want to live like that, fine--they can make themselves miserable with it.  but i'm done with that.  i think george cloony is a political clown, but i enjoy the hell out of him as daniel ocean.  i get a huge kick out of colbert, even though i think his politics are the result of some sort of bizarre drug experiment.  i just don't give a shit--i think the guy is funny, because i can laugh at myself.




one of my big challenges in life has been overcoming a tendency towards anger, because i grew up with that.  and most of that anger was over things that i couldn't control.




that's just not a good way to live.
