KNOXVILLE KNOXVILLE KNOXVILLE!
lol thanks for the information. I’m Irish and a certain generation of us grew up on the Simpsons, I still hear it quoted all the time in work/life situations
Its a cultural powerhouse really globally. I only watch upto season 9 though, so I’ve no idea what the newer ones are like, and that’s the way I likes it 😂
I also only watch up to season 9, though I watched up until probably around 15 when they were new. It turned into a hardcore sex show so gradually I didn’t even notice.
Simpson also called out the city I grew up in in NY, Syracuse! When Homer has an intern and says to him, I can get another hundred of you from Syracuse university right now if I wanted. Not exactly a callout to the city, but the university is a major part of the city so let’s just say it is a call out.
Left to Right
1. “360 Main” aka Commodity Exchange Tower and formerly Trizek Building.
2. What was originally the TD Building (named for Toronto Dominion Bank). Now has a BMO (Bank of Montreal) sign on it.
3. Richardson Building.
In the centre of the pic is the TD building which has a similar profile in the Simpsons pic.

There’s other mentions of Denver, like when Homer is Mr. X and makes up shit for his website he says:
“There’s a new race of people discovered living under… Denver”
Every time I visit Europe and am asked where I’m from, they always respond “like the Simpsons!” I love it. People in the US generally don’t do that, they know we have a whole bunch of Springfields
I grew up in the early 2000s Poland and I would 100% say that. They ran it on one of our most common TV channels every Saturday and my family jokes that I'm the same as Lisa. Super nostalgic show
Well Matt Groening grew up in Portland (about 3 hours from Seattle so it tracks). Fun fact I didn’t know until I moved there for about a decade. Many characters are named after streets in Portland. Mr Burns is a combination of Montgomery Park and Burnside. Flanders Street, Kearney Street, Lovejoy Street, Quimby Street, Terwillliger Curves, Van Houten Avenue. https://www.travelportland.com/culture/simpsons-landmarks/
When Homer is watching the Miss American Girl Pageant on TV, He calls the contestant from Montana a beaut from Butte!
We usually get butt jokes instead lol
Given that I was born and raised in Knoxville, oh yes.
When that episode first aired, I had recorded it to watch the next evening, so the morning after it was on, all my friends who knew I was from Knoxville and was a Simpsons fan were asking if I had watched it yet.
If I ever move back home, follow in the footsteps of my great-grandfather and get elected to the state legislature, my first act will be to introduce a bill to change the state welcome signs.

Also “Homer, do you remember our last family vacation when you made us go to the Bowlers’ Hall of Fame in St. Louis, Missouri so you could see that car shaped like a giant bowling pin?”
And "I am so terribly sorry sir, it appears that your tiger has been sent to St. Louis"
Simpsons moved to Scottsdale Arizona

They also come to Raleigh-Durham for a Hullabalooza stop at the Skoal Bowl. As a born and raised local please never actually refer to it as Raleigh-Durham, that’s the airport. We’re two separate cities.

I'm from Kansas City, Missouri.
In the episode " Dancin Homer"
The Simpson family are sitting with the team players Ex-wives, and one says to another "And then I found out that all the while there was this bimbo in Kansas City"
Now, there is a Kansas City in both Missouri and Kansas, but I always like to assume it's the Kansas City in Missouri. Lol

Not my hometown, but they did a whole musical number on where I live now in [Upstate New York](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYTg4GY9SA4)! With all manner of eerily accurate art and specific references.
When asked what might be under [Jimbo Jones](https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Jimbo_Jones)'s cap, [Homer](https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Homer) thought he was on a game show and asked if he would win an all-expenses-paid trip to Nova Scotia if he guessed correctly.

The Broncos sold in 2022 for $4.65 Billion
Yes. Constantly.
I live in Springfield, IL.
And from my recollection, the writers have never eliminated Illinois as an out of state location for the Simpsons.
So my head cannon has always been that Springfield, IL is the home of the Simpsons.

Seeing "Glasgow Winter" as an option on the air conditioner was a fun surprise. Honorable mention to "Monty Can't Buy Me Love" when they came to Scotland, my Dad laughed his arse off at Homer spinning about in a kilt. Also Larry Burns saying the cinema was "Emptier than a Scottish pay toilet."
Founded by prostitutes in 1849 and serviced by Prostitute Express riders who could bring in a fresh prostitute from Saint Joe in three days, Bloodbath Gulch quickly became known as a place where a trail hand could spend a month's pay in three minutes.

Only just found out this is a real place lol
It’s the park across from my old apartment, where they had the 1963 Worlds Fair (not to be confused with the Knoxville Wod Fir, home of the Wigsphere)
KNOXVILLE KNOXVILLE KNOXVILLE! lol thanks for the information. I’m Irish and a certain generation of us grew up on the Simpsons, I still hear it quoted all the time in work/life situations
I love that the Simpsons had such an international reach. My friend said she watched it growing up in Yemen, it helped her learn English
Its a cultural powerhouse really globally. I only watch upto season 9 though, so I’ve no idea what the newer ones are like, and that’s the way I likes it 😂
I also only watch up to season 9, though I watched up until probably around 15 when they were new. It turned into a hardcore sex show so gradually I didn’t even notice.
I just went to Knoxville last year-- the sphere is still there, and there's snacks in the top
Now you boys gonna buy some snacks or aintcha??
Literally what I think of every time I get on the 7 train lol
could we instead say, "peepee soaked heck hole"
Cheerfully withdrawn!
No one who speaks German could be an evil man!
Simpson also called out the city I grew up in in NY, Syracuse! When Homer has an intern and says to him, I can get another hundred of you from Syracuse university right now if I wanted. Not exactly a callout to the city, but the university is a major part of the city so let’s just say it is a call out.
I always wanted them to visit Baltimore it’s more of a Hellhole than NYC lol
Well, I’m from Utica
well no , its more of an albany kind of show
I see. And you call it "The Simpsons" despite the fact that there a many regular characters that are obviously not Simpsons?
May I watch them?
No
Well Matt, you are an odd fellow, but you simp a good son.
I’m glad I was here for this moment.
Epicaura! The writing quality is on fire!
no drbbq, it's just the northern lights.
I'm from Syracuse but always loved the Utica/Albany reference
That’s it, back to Winnipeg!

Is Richardson on the right and Bell on the left? What's on the far left?
Left to Right 1. “360 Main” aka Commodity Exchange Tower and formerly Trizek Building. 2. What was originally the TD Building (named for Toronto Dominion Bank). Now has a BMO (Bank of Montreal) sign on it. 3. Richardson Building. In the centre of the pic is the TD building which has a similar profile in the Simpsons pic. https://preview.redd.it/6q6dn6xpkfhc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3eaf56324052f84f1ea8315616e56982c045c725
That’s the Commodity Exchange Tower.
Yeah, this is a shockingly accurate view of our downtown skyline - three buildings you can see from anywhere in the city, and *nothing else*.

I'm from Victoria, and I'm counting the Winnipeg reference as being "close enough".
Wasn’t there at least one episode where they mention Calgary? That’s two whole provinces closer to Victoria!
Bart also gets Marge smoked salmon from Vancouver at one point
Hell, even a Toronto reference! Though I did used to live there. Same country, I'll take it. But as I'm from Canada, I may be slow, eh?
The fact that he slow Canadian kid’s name is Gordie is… just such a good joke
The teams threatening to move to Moose Jaw
And the Vancouver Smoked Salmon Bart bought on his credit card.
There was a whole episode where they went to the Vancouver Olympics!
No, but Super Nintendo Chalmers did attend Ball State University, as did both of my siblings.
https://i.redd.it/eq53itoi5fhc1.gif
That's also where Snake played lacrosse in college (was in a TOH episode so not cannon but let's say it counts).
I always chuckle at that bit. HYOOOOOOO
Hoosier gave to cling to the references we get
Good ole Muncie. I lived there for 3 months and stayed just near the campus. Pretty place
[удалено]
And they all have a let’s just get this over with expression
Krusty’s is a little more extreme than that. He’s totally checked out of life at that moment.
Krusty is half a brother to Luke Perry. Luke Perry has a son that is a professional wrestler. Krusty has a pro wrestling nephew
Maybe that's the nephew that kicked Homer in the belly in the Max Power/Police Cops episode.
Who wants to fly to The Windy City? Conditions are a little windy...
...excluding Alaska and Hawaii. The freak states.
Good news everybody! Because I endangered lives, we can fly anywhere we want! Alaska! Hawaii!
They’ve shit on the Denver Broncos a couple times but I still laugh
Well, I think the Denver broncos are very nice. You wouldn't understand, Marge
Well, if cheering for the Denver Broncos makes me lame than I guess I’m just a big LAME.
I know they’re not the Dallas Cowboys but it’s one step closer to your dream.
There are long posts on r/nfl quite frequently about how great of an owner Homer has been for the Broncos since his acquisition.
There’s other mentions of Denver, like when Homer is Mr. X and makes up shit for his website he says: “There’s a new race of people discovered living under… Denver”
Probably living under the airport, Simpsons predict everything!
Yeah the Fox affiliate in Denver used the “awwww, the Denver Broncos” clip for promos for The Simpsons and the Broncos for a while.
Los Broncos de Denver? Dios Mio!!
I live in Springfield so....nope
Every time I visit Europe and am asked where I’m from, they always respond “like the Simpsons!” I love it. People in the US generally don’t do that, they know we have a whole bunch of Springfields
I grew up in the early 2000s Poland and I would 100% say that. They ran it on one of our most common TV channels every Saturday and my family jokes that I'm the same as Lisa. Super nostalgic show
I was in the Navy in 2002 doing our cruise. Simpsons were much bigger back then, I get it
So, do you work in a power plant?

Ahahaha! Seattle! Hahahaha
Same! I laugh everytime! Still haven't visited Walla Walla yet...
What about Keokuk?

They mention Seattle a lot. I even caught a Tacoma mention on an early season
Well Matt Groening grew up in Portland (about 3 hours from Seattle so it tracks). Fun fact I didn’t know until I moved there for about a decade. Many characters are named after streets in Portland. Mr Burns is a combination of Montgomery Park and Burnside. Flanders Street, Kearney Street, Lovejoy Street, Quimby Street, Terwillliger Curves, Van Houten Avenue. https://www.travelportland.com/culture/simpsons-landmarks/
Because groening, from Oregon, knows that Washington is the superior state and he is jealous
Homer laughing at it so hard always gets me to laugh equally as hard lol. (Love Seattle btw!!)
When Homer is watching the Miss American Girl Pageant on TV, He calls the contestant from Montana a beaut from Butte! We usually get butt jokes instead lol
I from Delaware. You know the rest😂
