Awesome The Simpsons

“It’s always the one you least suspect.” Kidrobot and The Simpsons’ Halloween collectible is a 6.5″-tall figure of the Devil as Ned Flanders from the 1993 episode Treehouse of Horror IV. The glow-in-the-dark edition is limited to 500 pieces but costs the same as the regular toy.

Actor Nancy Cartwright rattles off voices from seven characters she plays on The Simpsons, from Bart Simpson, to Todd Flanders, to everyone’s favorite nose-picker, Ralph Wiggum. Who else knew Kearney’s last name before today? We sure didn’t.

State Bicycle Co.’s backpack is decked out in sprinkle-covered donuts, just like the one Homer snarfs down. The weatherproof Cordura bag offers an expandable roll-top, a reflective front panel, and pockets for a water bottle, a bicycle U-lock, and a padded one for a laptop.

Things go horribly awry in this dark and twisted couch gag from season 28 (yikes!) of The Simpsons, in a sequence that seems more like a Treehouse of Horror opener than something we’d see so close to Thanksgiving.

Etsy shop Thumbs Design makes high quality bootleg pins, stickers and other merchandise that combine The Simpsons with other popular movies and TV shows. Its newest offerings depict Bart and company as Pokémon. Ralph as Psyduck is all we need.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard Danny Elfman’s theme song from The Simpsons performed a capella, but it’s definitely the first time we’ve seen it performed in creepy yellow makeup and blue hairdos. Thanks for the nightmare fuel, The Warp Zone.

The first episode of The Simpsons’ 28th season (daaaamn!) kicked off with a recreation of Adventure Time’s opening sequence, except it’s filled with Springfield’s citizens. It even has Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward singing a variant of his show’s tune.

Aside from sleeping at the Springfield nuclear plant, Homer Simpson has had more than a hundred other jobs. Vox averaged his salaries from the past three decades and came up with a depressing conclusion: that Homer reflects the plight of the middle class American.

Kidrobot’s Halloween treat is a collection of spooky but still cute plushies based on Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Itchy, Scratchy and undead versions of the Simpsons family.

At the end of the latest episode of The Simpsons, Dan Castellaneta took live calls from viewers while MoCap synched the animation. The result was pretty impressive, though the questions were just as vacuous as Homer’s answers. West coast feed here. Int’l feed here.

The Simpsons has both reflected and influenced pop culture for much of its 26+ year run. But did you know the series also managed to predict (or potentially caused the creation of) a number of inventions? Does this mean we can blame them for Farmville? And autocorrect.

Remix maker The Amazing Mashups Mixes combined the theme song from The Simpsons with the Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj pop hit Bang Bang, and it works surprisingly well for the most part. Skip to 0:11.

John Hatfield took YouTuber Omni Verse’s video collage of 554 The Simpsons episodes all playing at the same time and turned it into a 360º video. We’d tell you to watch it with virtual reality headsets, but we don’t know what kind of hell we might be throwing you into.

Vulture Remix parodies Making a Murderer using clips from The Simpsons. Ironically, there’s already a series that documents Homer Simpson’s crimes, and boy is it decisive. It’s called The Simpsons.

Homer Simpson teams up with the family couch to fight crime lord Ned Flanders. Steve Cutts’ couch gag for The Simpsons apes Miami Vice and other shows from the ’80s, which according to the idiots on YouTube, was a decade influenced by Kung Fury.

(Gore) Master of blood and guts and Play-doh-mation Lee Hardcastle created his inimitable take on the classic Simpsons’ couch gag, with a creepy and disturbing take that’s sure to fill your nightmares. We can say with 100% certainty that FOX won’t be running this one.

Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi animated yet another weird and warped opening sequence for The Simpsons, this time with a nightmarish Halloween tale for the series’ annual Treehouse of Horror tradition.

If you can’t remember the last time you felt anything while watching The Simpsons, YouTuber Yoann Hervo is here to rewire your memories. His trippy take on the show’s opening sequence is part of a longer but unfinished tribute.
