Last year a man from England named Bart Simpson was arrested for having a firearm in an airport. Simpson is 56, so you can't blame his parents for giving him the kind of name that would result in ridicule and, eventually, a life of crime. ('The Simpsons' has been on for that long. It only seems like it.)
It was just fate that he ended up with the same name as a cartoon troublemaker. And when his t
Finally, a Harlem Shake video for a new audience! Last night's opening couch gag on 'The Simpsons' showed everyone's favorite cartoon family getting in on the Harlem Shake craze. And we definitely count it as a win.
Between the 'Studio 60' reunion announced for 'Go On' yesterday and the imminent return of HBO's 'The Newsroom,' it's a good time to be an Aaron Sorkin fan. Good is about to get even better as we've just learned the Oscar- and Emmy-winning writer will lend his voice to an upcoming episode of 'The Simpsons'!

It's an old joke that there's one half-hour on Sunday Seth McFarlane hasn't been on. And now that he's going to be on The Simpsons, it's officially an inaccurate joke.

But now that Judd Apatow is Judd Apatow, 'The Simpsons' are producing the long lost script, which will air next year.
"The Last Peanut" is widely considered one of the classic bits from "The Simpsons". It comes from the fifth season, and it is hilarious. Doubly so when rendered in clay, so enjoy. Maybe watch it with a few peanuts!
It's the day before the election, and the Mitt Romney endorsements are flying in! The first came from Joss Whedon (who strongly believes Romney can jumpstart the zombie apocalypse). This one is from 'The Simpsons' bad guy Mr. Burns (who is the cartoon embodiment of corporate greed)...
The Simpsons is not a show that's shy about stuffing gags into every corner of the frame. And, after nearly a quarter century on the air, the show has quite a few signs. Here's a strip of what seems to be the Internet's favorite gags from the beloved show. Fair warning, it's a long image.
In the "weird coincidences" file, we've got this cartoon, which was first published in 1949 in a magazine in Iceland. Yeah, they look fairly similar... but wait until you see the whole cartoon.
