One of my favourite Simpsons in-jokes is a bowling team called The Home Wreckers. It comprised of 4 members: Jacques, Princess Kashmir, Lurlene Lumpkin, and Mindy Simmons. The reason for the name is simple: each person had a tête-à-tête with either Marge or Homer Simpson. While three of them lay a strong claim to the […]

“Uh oh. Did I say that or just think it?” Who knew sticking a crayon up his nose could create such hilarious Homer moments? Homer’s brain is quite something.
14/4/1996. The date we were blessed with Steamed Hams. And to honour that, YouTube uploader TmsT created this video in collaboration with 13 animators (including himself). To call each animation surreal would be an understatement but so would saying each one was “good”. It’s all very trippy and pushes Steamed Hams past its boundaries, like […]
I don’t know about you but I’m really interested in that next episode.

Although long rumoured to be a Michael Jackson creation, the song was, in fact, written by singer-songwriter Bryan Loren. The latter called the prolonged rumours a “thorn in his side” and advised “along with me, Michael […]
With the departure of Harry Shearer, many feel The Simpsons is beginning to lose its comedic edge. Rumours of Homer and Marge splitting up were quickly refuted but they sounded believable and caused an outrage (not least because the person who was slated to split them up was a pharmacist voiced by Lena Dunham). While the […]
