The Simpsons: Last News

The Simpsons have called out a plot inconsistency following the return of character Jacques in the show’s 34th season.On Sunday’s episode (March 19) titled Pin Gal, Marge takes bowling lessons once again from French bowling instructor Jacques (voiced by Albert Brooks) – who previously tried to start an affair with her back in season one episode Life On The Fast Lane.In the episode, Homer has no knowledge of Marge and Jacques’ history. This, however, goes against events in season six episode Another Simpsons Clip Show, where Homer was informed of the almost-affair.The inconsistency was pointed out by viewers on Twitter: “Wait didn’t Marge literally tell Homer about Jacques in one of the clip shows in the Golden era?”Many people have senseless attachments to heavy, clumsy things… pic.twitter.com/bLdHgCyjqM— The Simpsons (@TheSimpsons) March 20, 2023Another added: “I don’t know if I like the idea of The Simpsons basically retconning Marge telling Homer how she almost cheated on him with Jacques in Another Simpsons Clip Show and having it be that Marge never told Homer about it.”You can check out more reactions below.I don't often catch the newer #TheSimpsons episodes, but I watched this one because I heard Jacques was returning.

The Simpsons is set to bring back a major season one character who almost ruined Homer and Marge’s marriage.Titled ‘Pin Girl’, the seventeenth episode of season 34 is set to air on Fox on Sunday, March 19.A synopsis for the episode reads: “A mysterious figure from Marge’s past returns to coach her for a bowling tournament.”On Twitter, The Simpsons co-showrunner Al Jean confirmed the mystery character to be Jacques, with voice actor Albert Brooks reprising the role.This will mark the first time Brooks has voiced Jacques in over 30 years, although he has previously performed as a number of other characters, including Homer’s former Bond-villain-esque boss Hank Scorpio.Fans were first introduced to Jacques, a French bowling instructor, in the season one, episode nine episode ‘Life On The Fast Lane’..@TheSimpsons Don’t nap on new episode Sunday.

The Simpsons: Hit & Run lead game designer Joe McGinn has said that he wants to see a remake of the 2003 classic, joining a growing list of the game’s developers who are calling for its return.Speaking to GamesRadar, McGinn shared that although he doesn’t know how likely it is, he “would love” to see a new revival of the cult classic driving game based on the animated Springfield family.While fans of the game have made their own Hit And Run remake using Unreal Engine 5, developer Radical Entertainment has never revisited its version of Springfield in an official capacity.However, McGinn isn’t the only one of Hit And Run‘s creators hoping for a remake. Back in 2021, The Simpsons co-showrunner Matt Selman admitted that a Hit And Run remake would be a “complicated corporate octopus,” but said he would “love” for it to happen.Prior to that, producer Vlad Ceraldi said it would be “wonderful” to update the game for modern audiences.As for Hit And Run‘s enduring legacy, McGinn told GamesRadar that he remains “proud” of what Radical Entertainment created.“I am very surprised and pleased that people still love the game,” shared McGinn.

The Simpsons producer Al Jean has admitted he’s “nervous” about cancel culture.The showrunner discussed criticism the beloved series has faced, including in terms of the portrayal of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, and how those in charge have adapted.“Well, it’s important to know your audience and if you lose your audience, then you’ve made a really big mistake,” Jean told Metro. “I also think that it is important for comedians to be allowed to do satire.”He went on: “I think of people like Kathy Griffin who was criticised when she was being satirical.

The Simpsons producer Al Jean has said he wishes John Lennon could have featured as a cameo on the series.The longtime writer and executive producer recently reflected on “dream” cameos after telling the PA news agency (per Bloomberg) that it was too late to cast Boris Johnson.“He definitely was a character right for satire but we had our own issues in America,” Jean said of former prime minister Boris Johnson following his resignation.Discussing other celebrities who have featured on the beloved animated show, Jean says it “astounds” him in terms of how many famous faces agree, while he named Lennon as one of the few that didn’t end up starring. “Many of the ones that I’d say would be a dream are never going to be on, like John Lennon or Neil Armstrong,” he said.

The Simpsons showrunner Al Jean has said Lisa Simpson could be part of the LGBT+ community.While the character has previously had crushes on Nelson Muntz and became obsessed with the Corey Hotline in early seasons, a number of hints have led to speculation that Lisa could be queer.The most notable is in season 23 episode Holidays Of Future Passed, where a montage of pictures showing the family in the future depicts Lisa holding hands with two women on the couch – suggesting she might be in a polyamorous relationship.Speaking to Digital Spy, Jean welcomed the idea of Lisa being queer. “In my opinion, and this is just my opinion, that is definitely a possibility for Lisa’s life,” Jean said.

The Simpsons co-showrunner Al Jean has provided an update on a potential follow-up to The Simpsons Movie.Speaking to Yahoo Movies, the writer, animator and producer said that he was keen to work on another feature-length film, but that he doesn’t see it happening any time soon.“I’d love to work on another Simpsons movie, and we’ve talked about it,” he said, before questioning if a potential sequel would receive a theatrical release or go straight to streaming.“I don’t know exactly what the animation feature world is at the moment,” he continued. “I know there are some movies that have done well, but is it streaming, is it theatrical?“So I think that’s actually a question we would have to wrestle with before we even started working on a script.Last year, Jean revealed that plans for a sequel movie were shelved due the COVID-19 pandemic.“We were really talking about it a lot before the pandemic.

The Simpsons will parody Stephen King’s classic novel It in a special singular Treehouse Of Horror episode.Details of the show’s upcoming 34th season were teased at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday (July 23) where executive producer Matt Selman announced that one of the two Halloween episodes in the next season will be dedicated entirely to a parody of It.This marks the first time a Treehouse Of Horror special of The Simpsons will have a single story instead of the usual three vignettes.Speaking to Variety, Selman said: “We’ve never done a single fantastical, scary, dark story, told over the scope of the 20 minutes and 40 seconds that is an episode.“I think the fans are going to be really excited.

The Simpsons has admitted misinterpreting a joke on the show for the past 25 years.Josh Weinstein, who worked on The Simpsons between 1992 and 1998, posted on Twitter about a classic Homer Simpson’ line from season five episode ‘Bart Gets Famous’.After Bart goes missing from a school trip, teacher Edna Krabappel phones Homer while he’s at work to alert him of the situation. As he answers the phone with a towel around his waist, Homer says: “You’ll have to speak up, I’m wearing a towel.”In a post on Twitter, Weinstein explained how he believed the joke was a non-sequitur until it was explained to him years later.“I’m proud to say I’ve loved this joke and possibly misinterpreted it for nearly 30 years now,” Weinstein wrote.“For 25 years, I assumed (and loved it) that it was just a non-sequitor but then someone explained it’s what people with long hair say when they have a towel over their wet hair (and ears) after a shower when they answer the phone.

The Simpsons took aim at Fox News and Facebook during a musical number in Sunday’s (May 22) season 33 finale.In the episode titled ‘Poorhouse Rock’, Hugh Jackman and former US Labor Secretary Robert Reich led a song about the death of the US middle class.During the number, a character resembling Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson is shown (via Deadline), saying: “Putin for president, next on Fox News.”Facebook is similarly called out for spreading misinformation in the song’s lyrics: “Facebook feeds our fright / They convince us things were great when gas was cheap and men were white.” A Mark Zuckerberg-like character is also seen pressing a red button which reads “death of democracy”.Is that a new carbon blob in Sector 7-G, @RealHughJackman? pic.twitter.com/8xjZ7HqxV7— The Simpsons (@TheSimpsons) May 23, 2022Jackman, voicing a singing janitor, begins the eight-minute musical number as a challenge to Bart Simpson – who is inspired by his father Homer’s job at the nuclear power plant.

When Bart visits his father at work, the janitor leads a musical number about how the American middle-class prospered after World War II, allowing people like Homer to succeed.In a clip shared on Entertainment Weekly, Jackman sings: “Your dad and his buddies had it swell but gradually it all went to hell.”The song’s subject matter was in response to a 2021 article in The Atlantic titled ‘The Life In The Simpsons Is No Longer Attainable’, which argued that Homer’s job supporting a family on a working-class salary is “an almost dreamily secure existence that now seems out of reach for all too many Americans”.A post shared by Entertainment Weekly (@entertainmentweekly)Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about the article, episode writer Tim Long explained that he first “thought it was funny”, adding: “But the more we thought about it, the more we thought The Atlantic had a point.

The Simpsons appeared to mock comedian Joe Rogan in the long-running show’s latest episode, in which Homer meets a character resembling the podcaster.The series’ newest episode, ‘You Won’t Believe What This Episode is About – Act Three Will Shock You!’, sees Homer Simpson “cancelled” for neglecting the family’s dog, Santa’s Little Helper, before accidentally knocking Reverend Lovejoy out of a church window.Although not mentioned by name, the bald podcaster character who appears later in the episode has been interpreted by several viewers as representing Rogan.Reaction to the episode, largely based on news reports of the brief clip which features the Rogan lookalike, has been largely negative on social media. Twitter users joked about the presenter’s drug use, questioned his status as a “right-wing podcaster”, and suggested The Simpsons tackled the same subject more effectively on 1994 episode ‘Homer Badman’.Joe Rogan will hear about this but he'll be high and forget then think he had a dream where he was on the simpsons https://t.co/3FjSmy1Yop— Andy (@HailGribble4Lyf) March 15, 2022I'm not even a Joe Rogan hater but there's no clearer sign that The Simpsons needs to end their run.
