Hank Azaria Is Now Woke and 'Willing to Step Aside' From Voicing Apu On The Simpsons
Hank Azaria appeared on Stephen Colbert’s show last night to promote that show Brockmire that people keep talking to me about in the same way they talk about Billions and SMILF—you know, with lines like “it’s actually really good” and “I know, I know, but watch it.”
The Simpsons Doesn't Care That Apu's Portrayal Is Racist
The Simpsons, a series that has somehow endured beyond 1999, finally addressed comedian Hari Kondabolu’s criticism that Apu Nahasapeemapetilon perpetuates a stereotype that has haunted a generation of brown kids in America. The show’s creators, unsurprisingly, offered a bad response to critiques of a white man…
Ted Cruz Compares Democrats to Lisa Simpson, Doesn't Realize It's a Compliment
Ted Cruz, our favorite butter cow-loving senator from Texas, dropped some serious snark at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday. In conversation with Ben Domenech of The Federalist, the two eased in to a conversation about gun control with...The Simpsons.
The Simpsons' Take On Trump's America Is Almost Too Real to Be Funny
A new short from The Simpsons spoofs the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s presidency and also makes me wonder if we’re beyond using satire as a tool against this idiot.
Homer and Marge Simpson Do Not Want You to Vote for Donald Trump
Based on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 “3 a.m. phone call” campaign ad, The Simpsons have released a campaign video meant to parody the concept. As it turns out, the video primarily lampoons Donald Trump (that’s fine!).
QUIZ: Are You a Cat Lady?
Today is National Cat Day, and the question on literally everyone’s mind is, “Am I a cat lady?” Well, rack your brain no longer, because we have created a quiz that will help you answer that question once and for all.
Homer and Marge Are Having Marital Issues
The upcoming 27th season of The Simpsons is getting really grim, with a storyline that finds Homer and Marge legally separating. I knew Lena Dunham would be at the center of this.
The Simpsons Mocks Jezebel; We Are Truly #Blessed
Jezebel got a gentle ribbing on The Simpsons this evening (along with our friends at Defamer and our casual party frenemies at Perez Hilton). I believe I speak for all of us cranky lesbos on staff when I say that this is the best day of our lives.
Put Bart Simpsons' Face All Over Your Body with New Forever 21 Merch
It's the 25th anniversary of The Simpsons—does that mean Bart has a 401k now?—and 20th Century Fox is going bananas licensing the images to celebrate. Their latest Bart garments might be the least expensive Simpsons commemorative garments yet, though.
The Simpsons and Family Guy Join Forces to Make a Rape Joke
On Sunday, Fox will air its long-promised threatened Simpsons/Family Guy crossover episode and, because cartoons are edgy, it will feature a joke that involves the word "rape." The comedy police have been dispatched.
Simpsons World Will Allow You to Access Every Episode Ever On Demand
Attention fans of The Simpons: Your summer just got exponentially better.
Here's Mrs. Krabappel's Sweet Final Appearance on The Simpsons
Last fall, Marcia Wallace, the voice of Bart Simpson's teacher Edna Krabappel, passed away just shy of her 71st birthday after a long battle with breast cancer. On Sunday, Wallace's character Mrs. Krabapple made her final appearance on the show, and the tribute was predictably sweet and sad.
The Simpsons Pay Tribute to the Late Mrs. Krabappel and Now I'm Crying
Last night on The Simpsons, the show used its weekly chalkboard gag to pay tribute to Marcia Wallace, the voice artist behind Springfield Elementary's fourth grade teacher (and crank with a heart of gold) Edna Krabappel.
Oh sad. 'The Simpsons' will air a special tribute episode in memory of Marcia Wallace tonight, but not the one we originally thought. Apparently, plans to air 'Bart the Lover,' arguably one of the best episodes of the entire series, were scrapped due to technical issues.
Martha Stewart So Regrets Not Banging Paul Newman and Robert Redford
Match.com enthusiast Martha Stewart cannot, for the life of her, remember why she didn't try to go down to Pound Town back in her days as a preppy young thing who worked at a pastry shop outside a Ralph Lauren store in Connecticut and occasionally sold Hubbell Gardner scones or whatever. Lady, I feel THAT.
The Simpsons Effectively Mocks Karl Rove's Election Night Tantrum
Remember way back on Tuesday night when the former White House turd blossom wouldn't admit the Republicans had lost the presidential election, long after his fellow Fox News correspondents were like, "Obama won. Get it together, dude"? Well, merely six days later, mean Humpty Dumpty is being dealt another blow, this…
Two Hilarious (and Depressing) Takes on Voter I.D. Laws, Courtesy of Sarah Silverman and The Simpsons
One of the biggest issues of the upcoming election is how many states are enacting voter ID laws that make it increasingly difficult for people without driver's licenses to vote. While lawmakers assert that this is to prevent voter fraud, the more cynical (or thoughtful) among us speculate that the laws are designed…
10 Things You May Have Missed On TV This Week
In this week's TV roundup, The Simpsons goes Gaga, Girls goes to Michigan, Anderson finds someone "dreadful" and the kids of Glee graduate.
Here's Your Behind-The-Scenes Look at Lady Gaga on The Simpsons
If any of you are still watching, Lady Gaga will be on the 2,547 season finale of The Simpsons this Sunday, appearing as a (more) cartoonized version of herself who, recognizing a little monster in Lisa, sets out to help the smartest Simpson out of her slump. Here's a pretty charming behind-the-scenes look at her…
