Real Life Bart Simpson Appeared Before a Judge Named Mr. Burns

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:47:31 +0000

Last year a man from England named Bart Simpson was arrested for having a firearm in an airport. Simpson is 56, so you can't blame his parents for giving him the kind of name that would result in ridicule and, eventually, a life of crime. ('The Simpsons' has been on for that long. It only seems like it.)

It was just fate that he ended up with the same name as a cartoon troublemaker. And when his trial began earlier this month fate struck again. Bart Simpson would be facing a judge named Mr. Burns.

Seth MacFarlane To Woo Marge On The Simpsons

Dan Seitz — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 18:32:16 +0000

It’s an old joke that there’s one half-hour on Sunday Seth McFarlane hasn’t been on. And now that he’s going to be on The Simpsons, it’s officially an inaccurate joke. McFarlane, who apparently does not sleep, will be recording a guest spot on the show as Marge’s dating-site paramour. And, yes, he will be singing [...]

It's the day before the election, and the Mitt Romney endorsements are flying in! The first came from Joss Whedon (who strongly believes Romney can jumpstart the zombie apocalypse). This one is from 'The Simpsons' bad guy Mr. Burns (who is the cartoon embodiment of corporate greed). Who's next

Is This The Origin Of Homer Simpson?

Dan Seitz — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 00:45:09 +0000

In the “weird coincidences” file, we’ve got this cartoon, which was first published in 1949 in a magazine in Iceland. Yeah, they look fairly similar… but wait until you see the whole cartoon. Here it is, in all its glory: If you were wondering, the caption translates out to “The ax is too sharp.” For [...]

Don Deane — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 23:00:39 +0000

Richie Castellano’s one-man cover of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is pretty amazing, but Nick McKaig’s take on the theme from ‘The Simpsons‘ is even more impressive since he uses nothing but his voice. According to McKaig, the song is made up of over 30 individual parts, all of which he performs himself. And, as an added [...]
