"The Musk Who Fell to Earth" is looking to be a way bigger black eye for The Simpsons than "Stark Raving Dad" ever was, but you can still watch it on Disney+

Least we forget, just a few seasons prior, they had John K, Neil Gaiman, Mario Brava, Armie Hammer, Ted Nugent, AND Julian Assange - all in a single broadcast season.
I think they need to reevaluate their records somewhat.
They've had Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers but never done anything about his episode even after his 2004 book Scar Tissue where he brags about a 14 year old.
PS there are episodes that feature genuine creeps like Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers who bragged about a 14 year old in his book Scar Tissue and the Chilis song 'Catholic School Girls Rule' is based on it and was released way before he appeared in The Simpsons.
Oh and Matt Groening got his 'crusty feet' massaged on Epstein's jet by Virginia Giuffre (the same woman who accused Prince Andrew) while Epstein watched. Bit weird.
Jackson never groomed kids. Do you actually know anything about those allegations, and why no accuser went to the police but always straight to civil lawyers demanding millions of dollars (except a kid in canada who after questioning admitting he never even met MJ but was coached by real a pedo)?
PS I HIGHLY recommend Square One. Explains a lot about Evan Chandler the deadbeat dad who ADMITTED in his brother's book he had been demanding money from MJ months before he made the allegations about his kid Jordan.
I'm sure someone will argue both episodes only served to ego-stroke their guest stars, but I think it goes without saying that "Stark Raving Dad" was an ego-stroking episode with heart and historical significance. If Musk's episode disappeared tomorrow, no-one would care.
Was Stark Raving Dad 'ego-stroking'? Jackson didn't even play himself, just a guy who claimed to be MJ and blatantly wasn't. Many other celebs certainly have played themselves. Lady Gaga episode is infamously lousy.
I wasn't suggesting that myself, just saying that there's probably someone out there that would try and argue that. Of course "Stark Raving Dad" never claimed that their guest star was the "greatest living (blank)" like Musk's episode did. 🤮
Yeah, I tried to rewatch the Musk episode a couple months ago for first time since it aired. It was a slog. Perhaps mainly because I've hated Musk since 2018 (when he falsely called the cave rescuer a 'pedo guy' for calling out Musk's attention-seeking sub plan) but the episode itself is 'meh'.

Ironically he was in the episode 'Krusty Gets Kancelled' yet the Chilis never have been.
