When Billie Met Lisa

They already did this with Lisa Goes Gaga, and look how that turned out. Like seriously, why does Disney keep airing these shorts that only exist as advertisements. First the MCU, then they literally did a commercial for Disney+, and now Billie Eilish. It's boring, with extremely weak jokes, but luckily it's only 3 minutes. Don't waste your time on this.

5 writers and 16 producers worked on this short. This was nearly as bad as the Lisa Goes Gaga episode. Not funny and pretty uninteresting. I would've preferred to watch paint dry over this.

This, like Maggie eloquently put, sucks. But not in the good way.

I'm just glad these are being done as shorts instead of forced half an hour nonsensical episodes like the Lady Gaga one.

Also, aren't these shorts supposed to be funny like the Maggie ones?

This is just a "look how great this artist everyone already knows is" with no wit, no parody and (most importantly) no comedy.

The Simpsons needed to change producers 20 years ago...

Longtime fan of Lisa Simpson here. Should have liked this short, and didn't. The Simpsons shorts in the post-Tracey Ullmann era started out good (The Longest Daycare, Willie's Views on Scottish Independence, Playdate with Destiny), and gave a breath of fresh air to these characters having them respond to current events, or explore new directions such as Maggie having a silent little adventure. Since moving to Disney+, it's been generally downhill.

The shorts all seem intended to advertise both the show or other Disney products. Plusaversary was particularly bad with the way it shilled for Disney+, and there's a bit of that with this one too, particularly in the end credits. Three minutes long and not a single laugh, and a few cringey moments too (spiders out of Billie's mouth, eww). I think it's time for The Simpsons writers to stop and rethink, "What are we doing here?"

I can't believe this short actually makes Lisa say that Homer had never been a fan of her passion nor cared about her music. If you can't remember (seeing as the writers haven't) Homer actually brought Lisa her instrument and in quite a few episodes he goes out of his way to try and help her with her musical talent. Sure, he may not understand it but does he support her? Absolutely. Does he care about her music? Yes, very much so. Lisa is one of the few people he will ignore his selfish desires for, especially when it comes to her passion of music (at least, until the new seasons decided that Homer did not need a character apart from "jerk").

Billie also sucks. Her music sucks, she sucks, and her voice acting sucks. Why is she even in the episode? Because these idiot writers can't help but drool over the prospect of ANOTHER celebrity bumping up their ratings.

It is not as bad as Lisa Goes Gaga, but close to.
