I dunno, "South Park Was Right"? "Pepperidge Farm Remembers 'Itchy & Scratchy & Marge'"? "The Inner Collapse of the Zombie Simpsons"? "When Pop Culture Elevated and Destroyed the Simpsons in Real Time"?
Something along those lines.

If you guys want to know more about the decline of the Simpsons I'd recommend this video

No, woman the title must be "The Problems after Pinchy". Anything that happened after Pinchy got cooked in a hot bath is bad. @Mr. Reloaded you must do this! Respect Pinchy!
(And the amount of times they keep trying to incorporate whatever is hot at the moment today keeps being made into episodes and they turn out very bad. Pinchy wasn't involved in this!)
Mr. Reloaded
Cause a pirate is free
Done.
There wasn't enough room for both quotes though.

Oh my God my sides. Thanks @Mr. Reloaded, @Dragalge, that's beautiful.
Man... remember when The Simpsons was just super important to pop culture and television history and you couldn't escape its influence? I mean, you still can't escape, but it was everywhere and everything in the '90s. Maybe the 2000s, but I think pop culture moved on to Family Guy or South Park during that time or something. Maybe things fell apart after the movie, but it seems like it started before the movie. Can hardly believe it's been thirty years, really, it's pretty surreal.

Weirdly enough this thread hasn't mentioned that the problem with Apu wasn't that he existed, it's that he existed without representation from the group he's supposed to represent. His voice actor was even okay with being replaced with someone who was the same nationality. The problem wasn't that Apu existed, it's that the people writing him had no experience behind what it would be like to be the same nationality as the character.
Context matters, and it's not that Apu was bad. It was that people who felt represented by Apu wanted a voice in the character and the people who wrote him without taking it seriously and decided to pull the "Gosh to be offended" card. Basically in comedy don't punch down.
