INFORMATION ABOUT THE SIMPSONS TELEVISION SERIES
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons
"The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company.[1][2][3] Developed by Groening, James L. Brooks, and Sam Simon, the series is a satirical depiction of American life, epitomized by the Simpson family, which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Set in the fictional town of Springfield, it caricatures society, Western culture, television, and the human condition.
The family was conceived by Groening shortly before a solicitation for a series of animated shorts with producer Brooks. He created a dysfunctional family and named the characters after his own family members, substituting Bart for his own name; he thought Simpson was a funny name in that it sounded similar to "simpleton".[4] The shorts became a part of The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987. After three seasons, the sketch was developed into a half-hour prime time show and became Fox's first series to land in the Top 30 ratings in a season (1989–1990).
INFORMATION ABOUT THE SIMPSON EPISODE IN WHICH MARGE SIMPSON IS SHOWN KRUMPING
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Orphan_Millie
"Little Orphan Millie" is the sixth episode of the nineteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on November 11, 2007.[1] This episode represents a milestone in Simpsons' history as it sees Kirk and Luann remarry after initially divorcing eleven seasons earlier in the episode "A Milhouse Divided". It was written by Mick Kelly, production assistant to Al Jean, and directed by Lance Kramer.
During its first broadcast, the episode garnered 10.57 million viewers.[2]
Cultural references
The episode's name references Little Orphan Annie. Milhouse's uncle Zack resembles Indiana Jones and when he flies Milhouse home, music similar to "The Raiders March" from the Indiana Jones film Raiders of the Lost Ark is heard. Milhouse's somber ensemble is similar to James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause.[3] "Adagio for Strings" is played during the dark and gloomy scene showing the cruise line representatives driving toward the Simpsons' house. The scene itself is a parody of a scene from Saving Private Ryan, where Mrs. Ryan is informed of the death of her sons. The name "Festival Cruise Lines" is a parody of Carnival Cruise Lines. The "Solvang Air" liner plane is a wooden and scantling-work structure with wind-mill wings as propellers, and Uncle Zak and Milhouse's father end by reviving an old hatred between Dutch and Danish. The wooden plane's landing is accompanied with music from "Swedish Rhapsody No. 1" by Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén. Bart and Marge both use the term Krumping in reference to an energetic dancing style that was popularized in the United States.
Reception
The episode originally garnered 10.6 million viewers on its
first run, that being the third highest of the season.[2]
[...]
The scene in the episode were Marge tries to cheer up Bart
by attempting to krump—albeit unsuccessfully—later became an Internet meme.[5]"...

"Pretty much anything past season 10 is controversial in this
subreddit... some people get butthurt at any reminder that it's still on the
air and apparently making 'krumping' jokes now.
That's my guess as to why people are hating on it."

"Honestly Simpsons snobs are as insufferable as beer snobs on
reddit. Don't ever admit to liking any episode that was made in the last 15
years or they'll jump down your throat."
