37 years ago today (April 19) in 1987, the first Simpsons short "Good Night" aired on The Tracey Ullman show. I wasn't watching (I was 7), but I was watching when the Simpsons aired as its own series a couple years later.
The Simpsons is a show that has remained relevant all these years thanks to its inclusion of issues that plague modern society. Episode 764 isn't going to be any different:
《Marge gets a job in a high-pressure ghost kitchen, but when she tries to start a union, she gets more than she collectively bargained for.》
@adrianmorales I can't judge for other countries, but union groups here in .nl are terrible. And that's mainly because they have become for profit organisations themselves. At some point they underpaid they're own enlisted employees who weren't allowed to protest against it 😆.
But we've got it better than most countries labourers already, so we don't really 'need' them here that much luckily
@martijn I live in a place where almost everyone has this weird concept that the grass is always greener on the other side. That makes no sense. There are problems all over the world.
This time I'm comparing the story structure of Mario Wonder with The Simpsons. Specifically looking at plot beats and how they work, hoping to understand how to say more with less.
Nancy Cartwright is a voice actor most famous for an array of characters on The Simpsons. This includes the iconic voice of Bart. Here she shares 7 of them in direct succession.
Fifty years ago today, comedy songwriter and parodist Allan Sherman died. Here is a brief story about his career and how he inspired writers like Weird Al Yankovic
“I went hiking with Joe Spivey
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got Ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner”
For October this year we did a Simpsons Treehouse (Halloween special) themed piece EVERY day of the month. It was wild! And tough haha 😅 but so fun and worth it.
Sometimes it's cool for the brain to challenge yourself to something, see if you have the discipline to see it to completion. Doesn't always work, but amazing when it does!
@DomSathanas dude thank you!! It was so fun. I will tell wifey, she will be jazzed to hear. I would draw it, then she would paint. She's so talented haha
This is a visual game, you have 72 hours to draw a version of yourself in the style of #TheSimpsons. You do not need to be a great artist. Just be sure to include the hashtags #SimpsonsSelfie and #HashItOut with your drawing so we can share the results!

@vanessawynn@An0n might be that this was much more popular in Germany than in the US. I am Austrian but I mainly watched it on German TV, where it was aired for a long time, might be still running on some stations...
4 touchdowns in a single game... Oh man what a legend 😂
@derthomas@An0n@vanessawynn I don't know if you've ever seen a show called "Three's Company" - it was one of my favourite shows when I was younger. I watched it recently... it hasn't aged well. It's quite... "rapey"! A show that HAS aged well is "WKRP In Cincinnati".
