Morrissey issued a harsh rebuke of "The Simpsons" after the animated sitcom unflatteringly parodied him during its latest episode.

Sunday's episode, titled "Panic On The Streets Of Springfield," sees 8-year-old Lisa Simpson become enamored by a British singer from the 1980s, voiced by guest star Benedict Cumberbatch with lyrics by "Flight of the Conchords" star Bret McKenzie.

After she gets sucked into his moody, sardonic lyrics, she adopts the singer as her imaginary friend.

Morrissey Slams ‘The Simpsons’ for ‘Harshly Hateful’ Parody
Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorWhile “The Simpsons”’ parody of a “depressed British singer from the 1980s” — clearly styled at least partially on erstwhile Smiths frontman Morrissey — has gotten rave reviews in many quarters, the man himself is apparently less than thrilled. The singer was satirized as an imaginary friend of Lisa Simpson’s named Quilloughby, from a fictional band called the Snuffs, who, like Morrissey, was a vegan with a quiff a glum outlook.The character was voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch; the episode was titled “Panic on the Streets of Springfield,” in reference to the group’s 1986 single, and it features many references to the singer (an Oscar Wilde poster) and the Smiths’ album artwork.
