I'm usually not bothered by such trivial things, but the constant reference by characters that they're in a mobile game or taking shots at the community has gotten really old for me. We just got another at the beginning of this Wild West event that there will be gold in Old Springfield due to video game logic. It's just like...seriously? This is the best EA has when it comes to humor? I've dropped out from playing a handful of times in the last 16 months and while this isn't the only reason or the biggest, it is on the list. I just wish we could get some better writing for these events.

The Simpsons is a comedy show. Lisa is the smart one, and Homer is the fool. The dialogue in TSTO follows the character profiles from the show.

Except Homer and Lisa don't continually reference that they're cartoons or explain things away with "cartoon" logic.

Writers of in game dialogue are presumably not award winning writers like the ones that write Simpsons episodes.

The writers are just trying to emulate the show's sense of humor. On TV, they constantly take jabs at the FOX Network (or used to, anyway).
