Uh, the Simpsons have never been a pinnacle of positive representations. Hell, I remember when it first aired it was considered super "racy" and I, along with a lot of other kids my age, weren't allowed to watch it for it being too offensive.

Remember when it was totally shocking that Bart talked back to his parents?

Ahh, I'm old.

Yup. The Simpsons was downright rude for its day... until years later when South Park came along.

Yeah, but it's the kind of humor that changed for me.

If I were to explain the difference between edgy humor and humor I like, I'd say it's not as much about the subject matter, as it is about the mechanism. A good joke has in itself more to it than "lol fart feminazi gay fart". It can involve those things, but it doesn't consist of those things.

I'm trying to pinpoint a good example, except that I've stopped watching them just before the movie came out...I still watched the movie, however. I think that a good example is that scene with Homer and Marge having sex and all the Disney animals come in and look on horrified. There has always been sex in the Simpson (Marge and Homer are shown kissing naked a lot, probably more than most married couples) but it was never the joke. It was always, Marge and Homer try to have sex but the kids barge in. Or, Homer wants to have sex but Marge is worried, or Marge wants to have sex but Homer falls asleep...instead here the joke is, "they're having sex! the cute critters think it's ugly! get it? get it? sex looks ugly!" which was really pointless and it made me cringe a little.

I...dunno if I've explained myself well or even if that was the point OP was trying to make.
