Disturbing. Simply disturbing. Thanks Brent for the linkie

Video: ‘McBain’ the full movie

As a hardcore Springfieldian, few things about The Simpsons surprise me. The geniuses at Splitsider realized the seemingly disparate montage of clips from the popular character McBain actually form a pretty cohesive and interesting movie. I want to find whoever made this and kiss them.

Not super funny (or accurate) but as a hardcore (no pun intended) Simpsons fan, I thought I’d share the new XXX parody.

‘The Simpsons’: Leftover Story Ideas & Fragments

Sowmya K — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 16:34:46 +0000

Krusty gets maried? Sideshow Bob shot? My glasses are fogging up from excitement!!!
These are all ideas that went to the cutting room floor on The Simpsons. Thanks to Splitsider I found this gem Leftover Story Ideas & Fragments from one of my favorite showrunners Bill Oakley. He ran the show along with Josh Weinstein during the classic 7th and 8th seasons. Read more show ideas and stories that never made it here

Nerding it up with The Simpsons

My brother Rohan just sent me this awesome paper “Logarithmic History and the Music of The Simpsons” which combines two of my favorite things: The Simpsons and nerdishness. Thank Durrell Bowman for accomplishing the task of extracting highlights from a show chocked full of voiceovers, inside jokes, and too many pop culture references to name.

Thanks to the New York Times for reminding me of the important wedding date I totally missed. Lisa Simpson’s almost-wedding to Hugh Parkfield from the 1995 Simpsons episode “Lisa’s Wedding”. Check out the invite and full episode below:

Video: Kick off the weekend with “Good Morning Starshine”

Sowmya K — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:12:31 +0000

TGIF! The best way to kick off this weekend is a little song and dance number from The Simpsons episode “The Springfield Files”. The big-eyed Mr. Burns is the result of the longevity treatment he gets in order to cheat death for a week. Hilarious.

Video: The Simpsons lip sync Ke$ha…worst. intro. ever.

Sowmya K — Wed, 05 May 2010 14:10:00 +0000

Last Sunday The Simpsons replaced its traditional intro with the first verse of Ke$ha’s hit “Tik Tok”. As a Simpsonian, I don’t remember an artist ever getting a cameo let along full song placement on the intro credits. Maybe creator Matt Groening is attempting to appeal to 13 year olds; this just reiterates why I haven’t watched (and enjoyed) an episode since 1999. Call me Comic Book Guy if you must and watch the cringe-worthy clip below.
