Now firmly a part of the Disney machine (and my personal biggest reason for subscribing to Disney+), it was only really matter of time before The Simpsons seriously took on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And this Sunday we’ll get that with “Bart the Bad Guy” guest starring the Russo Bros. and Kevin Feige himself as a very familiar comic book villain named “Chinnos.”
Check out this Avengers: Infinity War parody poster, and keep reading to revisit the satisfaction of Thanos wiping out this cartoon that has been on the air for way too long.
A few years ago I woke up angry that The Simpsons was still on the air. It’s downright criminal that a cartoon that spent a decade being absolutely perfect then spent the next two decades being a shell of itself. The fact that they were even ready to replace one of the (still-living) iconic voice actors is almost personally insulting. And let’s not get into the whole Apu problem.
That’s why I found it so cathartic to watch Thanos, fresh off of wiping out half of the population in Avengers: Infinity War and preparing for Avengers: Endgame, turn his sociopathic sights to my favorite but played-out yellow cartoon family (all except baby Maggie and her pacifier Infinity Stone of course). See for yourself.
This Thanos couch gag comes from “The Girl on The Bus,” the latest episode in the 30th(!) season of the show. That episode also references a beloved Simpsons GIF (Homer sinking into the bushes) from an older and better episode. And honestly, even wiping out half of all Simpsons episodes would still leave you with about five years worth of fat before reaching perfect balance. The entire Marvel Cinematic Universe has happened within the span of The Simpsons being bad. Ay caramba, I don’t feel so good!
Besides, as entertaining as this couch gag is, it’s just a trendy and slightly late reference. Gimmicky couch gags like this are the only thing that get people to pay attention to modern Simpsons episodes anyway. Because it’s not like people are watching the episodes. You might remember this Simpsons/Adventure Time crossover but you definitely don’t remember what happened next.
For more on The Simpsons, we’ve got plenty of content that’s frankly way better than watching the show. Check out how the Internet and Twitter have kept The Simpsons weird and good. Watch this Metal Gear Solid-themed Steamed Hams spoof or listen to our own Steamed Hams Thriller cover. Remember the nightmare that is this live-action Futurama fan film. And find out what we thought about Simpsons-creator Matt Groening’s new (and not great) Netflix cartoon Disenchantment.
Or just look at this picture.
1. Bart With Muscles
Most of the characters on The Simpsons have the same undifferentiated yellow, rubbery body, but sure Bart could probably get swole if he worked at it. Special mention to the confused, slightly horny looking Sideshow Bob in the background.
2. CGI Simpsons
Remember that one episode where Homer went into the computer-generated 3D world? This is the Azerbaijani bootleg of that.
3. Linkin Park Duel
The two major pairings the Internet loves for Bart Simpson are Sideshow Bob (what's known as "Bort" in the fandom) and Fry from Futurama. Here's a piece depicting the two suitors dueling to the strains of Linkin Park
4. Black Veins
I can't do this one justice, so I'm just going to quote from its DeviantArt description: "The scars in Lisa's heart becomes infected with a plague of trauma. It Eats away at her heart and begins to move through her veins, infecting them with the blackened agony that plagued her heart. Her veins become blackened as her body and soul begins to degrade from the inside out. The infected blood attacks her wings and rots away her freedom. As the sickness reaches her mind, it distorts all of her senses, including her sense of judgement. She is forever changed by the horrid experiences she has had over the 8 years of her life. And no amount of therapy can treat this plague that has taken over our dear Lisa Simpson. (I can be quite dark sometimes, why do you think I CALL MYSELF "THE BLOODY ARTIST"?)"
5. Black Simpsons
We've all seen the bootleg shirts that re-imagine Bart Simpson as an African-American, but this piece does the same for the whole family. Lisa's hair is sort of freaking me out, is that racist of me to say?
6. Smithers Dog
There's a woman on DeviantArt who draws hundreds of pieces of art featuring Waylon Smithers as a dog. It's kind of hard to wrap your brain around.
7. Sexy Lisa
The Internet has conflicting opinions about Lisa Simpson. Some people consider her a humorless scold who ruins episodes with petty moralizing, while others apparently think she's a Bud Girl waiting to happen.
8. Bazinga
Bazinga indeed, my friends. What more can we even say?
9. In The Pit Of Duffsnake
Even the most minor characters on The Simpsons have plenty of pervy art cranked out for them. Case in point: here's a shot of reprobate Snake sucking greedily on an unmasked Duffman's armpit. As you do.
10. Moe Disguise
Apu and Manjula have eight kids. I'm really having a hard time figuring out what Moe's endgame is here. Please don't tell me in the comments.
11. Lisa Feet
Time to make a detour into the fetishy side of Springfield, where very specific perverts work out their issues with, say, a giant Lisa Simpson threatening to crush her father with her feet.
12. Sideshow Bob & Cecil Feet
Or how about this shot of Sideshow Bob's brother Cecil giving his massive four-toed foot a luxurious tongue bath?
13. Marge Ticklish Feet
Why would you do this.
14. Milhouse Vore
Vore - getting off on getting eaten - is also pretty big in the Simpsons fetish art world. Twins Sherri & Terri as well as, for some reason, Milhouse's mom are big eaters.
15. Van Houten Fusion
And then there's the brave soul with a pack of colored pencils and a dream - to discover what it would look like if both of Milhouse's parents were fused into one organism.
16. Lunch Lady Doris Facesitting
Can you imagine coming to a point in your life where you sit down and say "OK, time to draw a multi-panel cartoon about the lunch lady sitting on Bart's face so hard it flattens?" Dark days, my friends.
17. Bart The Murderer
There's always been an undercurrent of barely-repressed violence in the Simpson home, so it's not surprising that many artists choose to depict the fatal end result of that climate.
18. Lisa The Glutton
Ever since the episode where an adult Bart washes himself with a rag on a stick, fan artists have been obsessed with the concept of grotesquely overweight Simpsons.
19. Lisa Loves Slenderman
It's actually terrifyingly feasible that Lisa Simpson would fall in love with creepypasta antagonist Slenderman. There are only so many ideas for shows, after all.
20. Abartion
Yes, this masterwork is called "Abartion." Some things defy description.
21. Pregnant Maggie
Alternate future timelines for the show are popular in the fan world, such as this one where Maggie appears to be a pregnant toddler who lost her arm in some sort of industrial accident.
22. Homer Feet
Ah crap, we have a containment breach in the foot fetish area. Get your hazmat suits on, this one's a dripper.
23. Saiyan Sponge Homer
Why wouldn't there be a Simpsons / Spongebob / Dragonball crossover? There's literally no reason not to at this point.
24. Homer Subject To Marge's Experiments 2
This one is called "Homer Subject To Marge's Experiments 2." I didn't include "Homer Subject To Marge's Experiments 1" because the artist drew his penis in it. Please keep any other questions to yourself.
