The Simpsons Iceberg Explained

The Simpsons has been on for a long time. So it makes sense that there would be a ton of discourse, theories, and little known facts about the series. So let's dive into the first 8 seasons of the Simpsons and see what we can find out. Who is Graggle? Who really shot Mr. Burns? What's the deal with Marge's father? Let's find out.

[@yeetithceetith]

Yeah its just so it can be more relatable to people watching. Not many people watching the simpsons went to hs in the 70s

[@douglaswolfen7820]

I feel like the fun part is when you realise that it really _doesn't_ break anything, or at least it doesn't break anything that matters. The show just takes it all in stride Every episode is a new story, and it only really has to be consistent with itself. Continuity with the past is a lovely thing and it's good to have some, but there's no reason to let it get in the way of telling the story you want to tell right now

[@deathmetal11111]

By now you just need to consider these timeline breaks a running gag.

[@britishchick09]

There's an episode that starts out with Homer saying "I was two years old in 1986! Or was I thirty?" ;D

[@douglaswolfen7820]

I've heard it said that every character always stays the same age, except Burns, he's the only one who isn't consistent. I've also heard it said that he's actually the only one who _is_ consistent. Everyone else is sliding through time and he's actually ageing correctly

[@JW-eq3vj]

Casinos were not taking bets on this. That shot of the odds was taken at The Mirage sportsbook and was used in a special spoof episode of America's Most Wanted where they tried to find out who shot Mr Burns. If a casino took that bet, then writers from The Simpsons could easily exploit that.

I’d imagine Graggle as a kind of character who only actually interacts with the characters on little occasion, most of the time only appearing in his own little scenes or in the background doing his own little thing while the other characters simply weren’t aware of his presence. However, he would have interacted with others on rare occasion like the supposed dinner table screenshot.

27:25 -- Homer's look being similar to an obscure comic strip character from the 1920s probably inspired the Season 7 episode "The Day the Violence Died" where an old homeless man (voiced by Kirk Douglas) claimed to have created Itchy and Scratchy first in 1919.

20:00 how is this a plot hole? bart went from the restaraunt to milhouses house, to his grandmothers house(presumably on foot in shelbyville where cannocially their family is from) back to springfield. the issue is how lisa knew comicbook guy had the soul now instead of milhouse, not how she got it before CBG, though this can easily be explained by the fact that shes been keeping track of it the entire time to teach bart a lesson about spirituality and the importance of it. she may have already tried to buy the soul from milhouse who said the same information when she saw how much bart was suffering, only giving her jabs in the resteraunt to mess with him to the point of breaking only to already have it secured.

[@Samrules888]

I think milhouse showed off his alf pogs to lisa thinking she'd find it cool, and let it slip that he traded bart's soul for them at the comic store

[@jackhageman9983]

The Barts soul thing isn’t really a plot hole, lisa could’ve talked to milhouse before dinner on the phone, teased Bart and then have her parents drive her to the comic shop after dinner. Bart would’ve been searching for milhouse for hours so it makes sense the comic shop would be closed and the soul would be sold already. Then the story continues when comic book guy finds Bart in front of the store.

[@lukeolson8018]

He also spends a lot of time running around looking for Milhouse and scaring Ralph before going to Android’s Dungeon. That would give Lisa plenty of time to call Milhouse, learn what he did with the soul and get it back.

I'm still convinced the Homer as Krusty error in Who Shot Mr. Burns part 1 is because Homer was accidentally drawn into the scene even though it was specified to leave him out, and they just recolored him and added the tuft of hair on top to correct the error.

Krusty was originally going to be an alter ego for Homer in the show. They scrapped the idea for being too outlandish.

[@SolidIncMedia]

One thing that I didn't see on the list is the theory that everything post Season 6 is a dream. In S06E04, Itchy & Scratchy Land, Homer's driving the family to the titular theme park, and is driving while dead tired. Marge suggests he pull over, but Homer insists he's fine. In the next scene, a car slides off the road, into a telephone pole, and catches fire. The scene zooms out to show the family standing in a hotel room watching the crash, and Bart says "whew! Glad that wasn't us!" The theory goes that it WAS the Simpsons that crashed, and that everything that happens after that episode is some kind of a dream / coma fantasy, as things get rather absurd after that. I know it was a bit absurd before that (e.g. Homer going to space), but many of those were rather plausible because some were based on real events (like Sharon McAuliffe who was a teacher that was aboard the Challenger when it exploded)

[@douglaswolfen7820]

I think the trouble with this is that it doesn't add much, or change much. The Simpsons aren't "really" in a coma, because they aren't real. And if the story we're watching is all a dream, then it's still the same story Have you ever seen the Princess Bride? Most people will tell you that it's a fantasy story about Wesley and Buttercup, set in a feudal / medieval world of pirates and princesses and peasants. _technically_ the entire film takes place in the 20th century in a child's bedroom, and the only people in the movie are the kid and his Grandad, who's reading him a bedtime story None of the other characters are "real", they're just the story the grandad is reading. But so what? The story of Wesley and Buttercup takes up most of the film, and that's the story we get invested in. The old man and the kid are just a framing device, and knowing that they're out there doesn't really change how we feel about the main story

[@stevenwhuntva]

Nobody's gonna talk about Smithers' hair color in those Who Shot Mr. Burns promos? I mean it's not like his first appearance thing, he was already established as a character and his hair is wrong in BOTH of the ones you showed!

It's kind of crazy how so much of the early simpsons had things planned that would break the status quo and keep things fresh, but people got so comfortable with the status quo that every single thing regarding it was scrapped in favor of flandarizing characters more. I firmly believe that the simpsons would've been better off today if they went with a "everything happens on a specific timeline and the characters age in real time" thing rather than the "homer was born in1960 but was an 80's kid wish fulfilment fantasy and had an early 2000's punk band as a teenager simultaneously" vibe they ended up doing.

[@psychedelicartistry]

For the Moe knows it's Bart, I disagree b/c of the episode where Jessica moves in next door and dates Jimbo and Bart tells Moe that he's Jimbo and lives at his address and Moe runs over with a knife and basically threatens to slit his throat.

Great SIMPSONS LORE run-down! I'm surprised I'd never heard about Silent Sam before, reminds me of the connections people have made between Itchy & Scratchy and the early-80s Italian underground comix Squeak The Mouse.

Regarding the last point, it's kinda weird to imagine that people did, indeed, become like the Simpsons, so much so that now it's kinda boring. Nowadays, it's more subversive and interesting to show families that aren't dysfunctional, and are all around great to each other. Back then, things like Bart talking back to his teachers weren't seen as merely subversive, they were damn near the fall of western civilization acording to every parent in the 90s.

You have no idea how pleased I am you talked about the Sherri Apparition lol. Some stuff I'd like to add on to entries covered: Marge's dad also involves his personality. Sometimes he's a stereotypical gruff masculine smoker. Other times he's a lot more polite and delicate like on the airplane. Some of the original animation in some enchanted evening made it into some quick scenes of the final, it's also just weirdly inconsistent and has that infamous smooth scene. It's all due to just how rushed and insane and miraculous the process was. I like the idea that Moe is just messing with Bart too lol especially when he pretended to almost catch him. Then I've heard there being reports of Gumbly in 2011 but I have no proof. I'm so upset about Selma's rad earrings I freaked when I first saw them ;(.

The Simpsons is my favorite show and Fall Out Boy is my Favorite band. I just think that is kinda cool for me. 😃
