Revision as of 10:38, 1 June 2008
The Brothers Chaps have made several references to the animated television sitcom The Simpsons, which they have cited in the past as one of their writing influences.
Appearances
- Museum Sketchbook — One page of rejected Halloween costumes show Marzipan dressed as Marge Simpson and Pom Pom dressed as Comic Book Guy.
- The House That Gave Sucky Treats — The Knight's costume refers to the Simpsons episode "$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)", in which Ralph Wiggum wears the exact same thing in a pageant for the United States.
- Weekly Fanstuff — The Weekly Fanstuff for January 19, 2006 is three sousaphone bells painted with the image of Strong Bad's head over the Tandy screen, with the caption "strong bad tubamaba". Tubamaba is a neologism from the Simpsons episode "Lisa's Sax", in which Homer Simpson uses it as a mispronunciation of the word tuba (in the same way that he originally mispronounces saxophone as saxomaphone).
- Needlepoint — The page title is "Bless This Mess!", which is also a needlepoint picture seen in the closet of Ned Flanders.
- Email caffeine— Strong Sad's made up "Wood Davers" (pine-cones and peanut butter) may be a reference to the Simpsons episode "Boy-Scoutz N the Hood" in which Ned Flanders says that one can make a bird-feeder from the same materials.
- Main Page 14 — The Corn Cob shower curtain may be a reference to the Corn Cob curtains in the Simpsons' kitchen.
- Email the facts — When Strong Bad sees the email sender's name and location, "Jess G. OH", he pronounces it as "Jess G'oh!" This is a reference to one of Homer's most famous catchphrases, "D'oh!"
- Email retirement — The graphics for the My Lappy Got Stole! Sweepstakes resemble those used in the two-part Simpsons episode "Who Shot Mr. Burns?", which, like this toon, also featured silhouettes of the characters with question marks on them.
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 13 — The policemen resemble police officers Eddie and Lou.
