Woolworths to get Simpsons makeover

Simpsons News — Posted 07 Dec, 2007 by DisgruntledGoat

Simpsons Movie DVDUK shopping giant Woolworths has signed a lucrative deal to promote The Simpsons Movie, due out on DVD Monday.

Matt Groening will redraw the store's puppet sheep and dog ad stars, Wooly and Worth, in Simpsons style.

Store fascia at 200 sites will be changed so the double 'o' in Woolworths is replaced by doughnuts - Homer Simpson's favourite treat.

Five Woolworth stores will be completely 'Simpsonised' by replacing the traditional red frontages with the cartoon's famous yellow, with life-size Homer and Bart Simpsons on hand. The coup is reckoned to be worth £5million to Woolworths.

Fox, which makes The Simpsons, transformed 12 North American 7-Elevens into real-life Kwik-E-Marts in July when The Simpsons Movie was first released.

Futurama: Bender's Big Score

EA upsets games companies with The Simpsons

Simpsons News — Posted 22 Oct, 2007 by DisgruntledGoat

(We're a bit late posting this news, but here it is.)

EA's forthcoming The Simpsons game parodies 30 years of videogaming and gaming IPs, but there are games companies that have refused to see the funny side of things.

Simpsons game parody posters

"I was always under the impression that when you do parody, it's a sign of respect... If we make fun of Grand Theft Auto, we're not going to hurt the sales of Grand Theft Auto... But yeah, we've definitely had some reactions - we've had to pull stuff from the game", The Simpsons lead designer Greg Rizzer revealed to us in an interview earlier this week.

"But that's cool to me", Rizzer continued. "It's cool to still know, I feel, that the industry's been waiting for a game like this to come along. It's been too long since we really had one, and of course [there's] The Simpsons being the perfect vehicle to poke fun at the games industry."

Fox Censors Family Guy Simpsons Gag

Simpsons News — Posted 22 Oct, 2007 by MrBurns

Cartoon Network [adult swim] viewers were surprised and astonished this weekend when the network aired the uncensored version of the recent Family Guy episode "Movin' Out (Brian's Song)".

During the scene where Lois and Brian talk about whether or not Brian should move in with Jillian, a fake advertisement for The Simpsons with Marge appears on the bottom of the screen. Quagmire walks in and tries to rape Marge. Marge runs offscreen with Quagmire following her with his pants down. After Lois and Brian finish talking, Marge and Quagmire return while Marge exclaims how wonderful sex with Quagmire was; Quagmire suggests going to Marge's house for "round two." (Offscreen), Quagmire finishes having sex with Marge at The Simpson home, but then kills the entire Simpson family after they walk in on them (also offscreen). This scene was cut from the Fox airing, but aired on Global in Canada and on Adult Swim in the United States. The version shown on Fox cut abruptly to commercial prior to the scene referencing The Simpsons. US viewers can watch this on repeats of the episode on [adult swim] or wait for the Season 6 DVD.

Simpsons Game Demo for PS3

Simpsons News — Posted 22 Oct, 2007 by DisgruntledGoat

A new 27 minute previews of the new Simpsons Game has been released. PC World has written up a blogged review of it.

"Otherwise it seems like your average team-driven action game draped in friendly Simpsons pastiche. Play as Bart and you can shoot with a slingshot, switch to Bartman and float or hover on updrafts with your cape, or grab a power-up helmet to become RoboBart and fire lasers. Play as Homer and you can morph into a gigantic rolling ball of flab, or inhale a bunch of helium to float. You power up using electricity, oddly enough, which can unleash "super" attacks if you hold down each character's ability button, and you can switch between characters easily by tapping the d-pad (the game auto-controls your team member, though it unfortunately tends to leave them doddering in the line of fire)."

"I know it's just the demo, and the prospect of exploring Springfield and interacting with 170 series characters through 16 episodes in the final (due 10/30) still sort of has my interest. Plays as all four characters (and Maggie in special sequences)? Use Marge to "nag" NPCs with a megaphone? Matt Groening (the series creator) as a boss at the end of the game?"

Members Section Exclusive Content

Website Updates — Posted 12 Oct, 2004 by DisgruntledGoat

I have added some cool audio clips to the members section, from Inside The Actors Studio: The Simpsons. I have also reorganised the main page of the section, since it looked a little confusing before.

And just for fun, I've decided to post the top five episodes as rated by members:
1. Trilogy of Error
2. Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)
3. You Only Move Twice
4. Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment
5. Bart vs. Australia


If you have not rated many episodes, now is your chance! The more ratings we have, the more accurate the list will be, and it only takes two minutes to do.

Along the same 'interactive' route, the contests are updated again. The previous answers were Homer: Bad Man for the Secret Sound and Lord Thistlewick Flanders for Which Character.


I guarantee you will love this update (not a guarantee)

Website Updates — Posted 29 Sep, 2004 by DisgruntledGoat

A new list has been added to the info section: Quick-Talking Voiceovers. It lists all those hilarious add-ons to commercials and the like, check it out!

I have also updated the contests. It seems that the previous ones were a little difficult, not many people got them right: they were "The Springfield Files" (secret sound) and Jamshed (character). Check out the new contests in the interactive section.


New Contest here at Simpson Crazy!

Website Updates — Posted 15 Sep, 2004 by DisgruntledGoat

Ooh, this is a goodun! To start, we have a brand new, never-before-seen contest here at Simpson Crazy: Secret Sound. What you have to do is download a small sound bite, listen to it and say what episode it comes from. This contest replaces the Guess The Episode contest, but the Which Character? contest is still on-going.
The marking of the contests is now semi-automatic - I check each and every submission, but instead of having to copy-paste names onto the scoreboard or find names and move them, it's all done automatically. You must provide an email address for validation purposes, but don't worry, it won't be displayed anywhere on the site. Because of the changes, the scoreboards have been reset (you can view the old scoreboard here).

Go to the interactive page for more details and to play. Have fun!

A new script for The Springfield Files has been added, and there's more on the way soon. We also have four new pictures in the gallery, which can be seen by clicking the "More/Comment" link below.

Finally, there are two new wallpapers in the gallery, and I have modified another one (I wasn't totally happy with it). I also want to highlight a couple of others which were added with the merger but not posted, because I really like them (the Homer/Maggie one is on my desktop right now). Click "More/Comment" for details.

Members section up and running!

Website Updates — Posted 10 Sep, 2004 by DisgruntledGoat

The Simpson Crazy member section is now open! If you used to visit D'oheth you'll know what it's about. You can rate and review EVERY Simpsons episode, use the special Quick-Rate feature to rate them all in one go.

After signing up, you will see on the main page a list of the Top 20 episodes according to member ratings. The more episodes you rate, the more accurate this will be. You can also see the master list of EVERY episode ranked in order!

Due to new restrictions in details (usernames/passwords etc), all previous members at D'oheth will have to sign up again. However, I do have all the reviews from the old database saved, so if you posted a lot of reviews, I can send them to you so you can add them back in. Just email me your username (and your old one if it was different).

Click here to go to the members section. Have fun!

Website Updates — Posted 22 Jul, 2004 by DisgruntledGoat
