Last Night, On Twitter . . .
“I can’t remember the last time we were all together.” – Principal Skinner “Last year, on that stupid Dame Edna special.” – Apu Nahasapeemapetilon Al Jean continues to ever so gingerly dip his toes into the never ending torrent of love, hate and general bullshit that is Twitter. Last night, he tweeted out this undated picture of some of the old staff: I wasn’t sure who everybody was, so I asked him, and he was kind enough to reply. From left to right it’s him, Mike Reiss, Wallace Wolodarsky, Jay Kogen, Jon Vitti, and Jeff Martin. He also said this:…

Today I Am a Clown Makes Baby Jesus Cry
Image shamelessly yoinked from here. “This is worse than your song about Mr. T.” – Apu Nahasapeemapetilon “I pity the fool who doesn’t like . . . he.” – Homer Simpson This episode has a cavalcade of guest voices, several of whom are playing themselves, plus Homer gets a new job as a talk show host. Happily, they spend most of the commentary ignoring the episode and telling stories about Mr. T, who is apparently exactly like his public persona when he’s recording voices. It’s also worth pointing out that by this point in Zombie Simpsons, even the DVD…
Strange New Places
“And where’s Barney?” – Homer Simpson “Oh, he’s with his new girlfriend, the Japanese conceptual artist.” – Principal Skinner “Barbershop is in danger of growing stale. I’m taking it to strange new places.” – Barney Gumble In the interest of not burying the lead: mocking Season 23 has been fun, but it’s also the last time we’re going to go full tilt for a new Zombie Simpsons season around here. Don’t worry, we’re not taking the site down or anything; in fact, for the next few months you shouldn’t notice much difference. Quotes of the Day will continue as normal,…

Dead Homer Society Xmas Gift Guide
“Oyster shells! Hand painted to resemble Lucille Ball! You’ll love Oyster Lucy!” – Moe For the second year in a row we here at the Dead Homer Society are offering this belated and woefully incomplete shopping guide for the Simpsons fan in your life. Just like last year, the idea here is to find cool Simpsons stuff that does not feed the merchandising beast that does more than anything else to keep Zombie Simpsons on the air. Also just like last year, this basically amounts to me doing a search on Etsy and then linking the best results. Still, any…
Crazy Noises: The Ned-Liest Catch
“I’m surprised you don’t remember, son. It was only eight years ago.” – Homer Simpson “Dad, thanks to television I can’t remember what happened eight minutes ago.” – Bart Simpson In our ongoing mission to bring you only the shallowest and laziest analysis of Zombie Simpsons, we’re keeping up our Crazy Noises series for Season 22. Since a podcast is so 2004, and video would require a flag, a fern and some folding chairs from the garage, we’ve elected to use the technology that brought the word “emoticon” to the masses: the chatroom. Star Trek image macros are strictly forbidden,…
Compare & Contrast: Homer on Tour
“Has anyone mentioned that Homer doesn’t know anything about mountain climbing, and that this is all crazy?” – Marge Simpson “Well yes, a number of people.” – Neil Just a few minutes into “A Midsummer’s Nice Dream”, more than a decade of accumulated bad habits catastrophically cratered the episode: Zombie Marge: Homie, you know all the bits, maybe you could help him. Zombie Homer: I can’t do reefer comedy, I’m drunk, two different animals. Zombie Marge: Homer Simpson, that man’s albums have given you decades of entertainment, and seen you through some very square times. Help him! Zombie Crowd: [Cheers…
Dead Homer Society Xmas Gift Guide
“Human roaches, feeding off each other’s garbage, the only thing you can’t buy here is dignity.” – Mayor Quimby It is the stated position of the Dead Homer Society that the fount of filthy lucre that is crappy Simpsons merchandise is a major reason behind the continued existence of Zombie Simpsons. Merchandise generates twice as much cash as the television show, and the continued production of new episodes has been explicitly linked by people at FOX to licensing revenue. And while one person’s purchasing decisions wouldn’t even register as a rounding error on that mountain of money, why buy things…
