: : A lot of the subtle(sp??) jokes are lost on younger people because they have an attention span of a gnat. I have watched it with my 15 yr old cousing and he laughs if Bart moons someone or does something stupid but is totally lost when Homer says "Marge I will not lie to you" then puts his head down and doesnt say a word. A lot of it has to do with experience, because the Simpsons is really targeted to an experienced smart audience.
: "Baby Jane" reference and other things of that nature. Just like "Lion King 1.5" would not be understood by most children but we old farts loved it. Age has certain advantgages.
