I genuinely do not understand how anyone who enjoyed the first 8 seasons of the Simpsons could think that Armin Tanzanian is anything but hilarious.

And it’s barely a retcon. The only thing we knew about him before Principal and the Pauper that wasn’t true was his name. He’s still the principal that Bart has been screwing with for years, he’s still a Vietnam vet, he’s still strangely subservient to Agnes Skinner, he still a nerd who loves being a principal despite the fact he’s quite bad at it. And even his name stops being fake by the end of the episode, by court order.

Honest answer, the 90's episode of the Simpson's where it recons Homer and Marie's story to not take place in high school anymore just to make uninspired 90's jokes.

The good news is the last season had a flashback to Marge’s high school musical about Y2K that took place before Homer and Marge officially “met” so they couldn’t possibly have been dating in the nineties and that episode has also been retconned.

The truth is neither of those were retcons. Marge and Homer met in high school in the 70s and they on and off dated in the 90s while Homer was in a grunge band (unrelated to the massive success he had as part of a barbershop quartet in the 80s) and also they’re 38 in 2023 and all of these things are somehow true at the same time.

The retcon of the retcon has been retconned. Those responsible for the first retcon have been retconned.
