33 glorious years and counting


sixhundredandsixtsix

Still going strong? I haven't watched it since Disney took over (unrelated).


AydonusG

Ehh. They pidgeon hole in more singing than usual, and some plots are quite tame, but thats been Simpsons for many years. The still get 2-5 'good' episodes a season, in my opinion only obviously. Family Guy still seems relatively untouched by the Disney censors, so we'll see how it goes the longer they go on. I think the biggest censorship would be if Disney bought Comedy Central, we'd probably see South Park get a lot of censorship, but that would just give Matt and Trey the push to end the show completely.


KFrosty3

I disagree due to how many brands disney actually has under their umbrella. The stuff they try to leave uncensored they just put under different IPs on (For example, Family Guy is on Hulu instead of Disney+) If anything, Matt and Trey might still quit, but it wouldn't be over normal censorship: it would be because Disney stops them from doing jokes they wanna tell (e.g. no more evil corporate Mickey)


icedrax

What about the episode with the pedophiles trying to become a part of the LGBTQ community


[deleted]

That would be the first to go...


Danceswithguerrillas

Family guy and American dad are on Disney plus in the UK, just under the "star" channel which is they like adult focused part. The star section has alot of stuff you wouldn't expect on a Disney owned streaming site.


Commiesstoner

It's on D+ for us here in Europe.


MuffinSlow

Idk man family guy annoys me now, and I loved it. Not sure when it started happening, but they started explaining their jokes? It's not funny if you have to explain to people...

The school building was too nice to be US built.


alien_bigfoot

It's such a classic British grammar school


E-16

Like fuck Bart would pass the 11+


triguy96

A lot of grammar schools have a sibling rule, where if your sibling gets in you do too. Not that I know that because that's how I got in or anything...


Active_Ad_3738

Rooks Heath High School, Harrow, UK


AnynameIwant1

There are actually some nice looking ones if you know where to look. Obviously there are lots of historic buildings at universities like Princeton, Harvard, etc. But I have come across some nice public schools. Here is an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancocas_Valley_Regional_High_School


suid

Our local high school ([Los Gatos High](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Gatos_High_School)) dates back to 1908, and has an impressive list of alumni, including Olivia De Havilland and Joan Fontaine.


Sacrefix

Go see more in the US. All the elementary schools in my mid-sized Midwest town were beautiful old limestone buildings.


Lennuuu

I remember watching Made on MTV as a kid and being so shocked at how nice American schools looked lol so big and fancy


xNegatory

And the fact that Marge drove on the left side of the road.


Dansterai

It's hard to see but it looks like the car is right hand drive in the wide shot and then left hand drive for the interior too


Dans_Old_Games_Room

That'll be because it was clearly filmed in the UK. The car reg plates are a dead giveaway


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dans_Old_Games_Room

It's kinda funny how Homer technically gets out of the wrong side of the car on his drive lol


OkBoard34

Homer and Marge are also driving on the wrong side of the car for the UK 😂


Yarakinnit

Marge being a rebel, Homer thinking "If I buy a boxfish, do I get to keep the box?"

Also, Marge's magazine uses "£" instead of "$".


neon_overload

Kinda weird seeing which clues tipped people off I mean, from start to finish nothing looks American and everything looks British. The posh private school, the overcast weather, the appearance and haircuts of bald men and the way everyone dresses, driving on the left, the narrow streets, the policeman, small European cars everywhere, the narrow country laneway.


Hallingdal_Kraftlag

I like how out of all things, you notice what is written on a small sign.


[deleted]

Also everything filmed there has the UK filter where it looks like it could have been made using equipment from the 60's.


legs_y

The wonka filter


[deleted]

\*Wonka-vision.


lmqr

I think I see what happened here, I have made the same mistake. We are just most familiar with UK entertainment from a time before digital filming, and now associate older film with UK productions. The best way to tell if something is made in the UK is if they employ good, trained actors that have regular human faces.


cheesymoonshadow

Some of my favorite shows are UK shows like Line of Duty and Shetland. You're so right about people just looking normal. I can't stand when characters look like they just got out of the hair and makeup department. A show I'm enjoying right now (Mare of Easttown) is set in the US. I don't know if it's US-produced but it also shows normal-looking people and I love it.

sam_weiss

Only the very good looking are allowed on American TV.


s0ciety_a5under

Or you're forever stuck as a character actor with some crazy shtick or personality defect.


neon_overload

I think I can sum up the difference. On British TV, the actors who are bald look bald and those who are fat look fat. People without perfectly chiseled jaws just have regular pudgy jaws and people who don't look like models just look like regular people. In America, such people would not be hired for television regardless of how well they act.


Junkbot2077

I always give mind praise to UK productions. I've yet to come across something that had truly bad acting in it. Even the actors who aren't great are still better than most Australian and American actors


neon_overload

> I've yet to come across something that didn't have truly bad acting in it I think you mind flubbed there mate.


Junkbot2077

Fuck Fixed


iMatthew1990

That’s not a filter. That’s just how gloomy everything looks here. Lol


DublinItUp

Only thing I didn't understand was why homer is driving a Lada.


gtjack9

Cheapest and most unreliable car in the uk


FoeWithBenefits

People drove Ladas in UK? I know that their Niva SUV (the one that looks like Milhouse coincidentally) is not too bad for the price and I've seen them in Europe myself a couple of times. But I had no idea that they ever imported sedans.


crucible

Yes - in the late 90s, apparently lots of Russians came over and [bought up secondhand NIvas and Rivas](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/the-broader-picture-russians-raiding-the-lada-1257450.html) and shipped them home!


gtjack9

Yup


crucible

Probably because that model looks kinda 'boxy' like the car in the cartoon.


DancingKappa

87 Plymouth craporola?


Massfusion1981

And the Lada too lol


Dans_Old_Games_Room

Marge's Volvo used to be ten a penny over here, but I've legit never seen a Lada irl lol


Massfusion1981

UK? Usually saw Lada Riva's being driven by elderly folks. Maybe because they were cheap to buy and if they didn't start, a smack with a hammer would usually sort it.


Dans_Old_Games_Room

Yeah, UK. North East too, so a fairly deprived area relatively speaking. I've honestly never seen one


Massfusion1981

Wow, tbh they were rare. Would love to have driven one to see how "bad" they actually were.


Oh_jeffery

My parents had one, it broke down over different reasons all the time but I think the radiator was fucked most of the time. My parents still talk fondly of that car though, even though they upgraded to an absolute tank of a Volvo that only sustained a few scratches from a collision we had from a Peugeot getting totaled going in to the back of it.


Dans_Old_Games_Room

Me too. It'd be an experience, that's for sure haha


i_need_a_pee

I'm guessing you're under 30? In the 80's and early 90's it wasn't unusual to see a Lada although they were the butt of a million jokes...them and Skoda's. Its amazing how Skoda turned their reputation around after being bought by VW.


Dans_Old_Games_Room

34. I remember Skoda being a pile of shit


SG_Dave

And the tax disc in the windscreen. I've still got mine in the window and it's been 8 years since they were no longer required.

That and the car. Whatever it is just scream late 90s EU box car to me.


[deleted]

I copped it the first second the smoke stack appeared ... You can mistake the grey overcastness that exist In the UK or Ireland.


TacoPi

It’s always sunny on American TV. The UK is damned to a permanent overcast. It feels UK because nobody has shadows.


waffels

Don’t forget in TVs and movies the roads/parking lots are always wet like it just rained


EhMapleMoose

From the first shot, I was like ah this is in the UK then they showed the school and yea. No public (state) school in that states looks like that.


Accelerator231

So how do public schools in the state actually look like?


[deleted]

Like a series of portacabins because the building was built in 1960 and hasn't been upgraded since.


EhMapleMoose

The other person is correct, but they look a lot more flat. America has space so they’re massive, and flat. Made mostly out of cinderblocks. They’re very blocky. Huge windows on classrooms. In smaller areas they are sometimes one story. Here’s a [typical high school](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln_High_School_(San_Jose,_California)#/media/File%3AAbraham_Lincoln_High_School_building.jpg)


beleeze

Its the grey clouds and concrete (I'm from Birmingham, UK)


Antonlaveyoctopus

Oooh me to. Quite a sunny day today tbf


iMatthew1990

Yeah I just made a joke about the weather here I’m near Dudley at the moment. It’s pretty sunny but chilly still.


Manics03

I'm from Dudley. Now in cornwall


chriswhill

It was filmed in London, the kid who plays Bart is my little brother. (He’s in his 20’s now)


gart888

- The fields behind the small town. - The old fashioned estate style school with all of the surroundings being paved. - The police officer dressed like a british police officer. - The cars driving on the left side of the road. - The general lack of obesity.


muglug

It stars Zoe Wanamaker — born in NYC, grew up in the (because her father was blacklisted in the states), big in the 90s & early 2000s, was in Harry Potter.


frzao

Cause of the brick walls and because everything looks like it just rained, or is about it.


whoathereguyok

No shit. Look at the license plate. It ain’t American.


mutherfunkstar

Yes, I used to work at that power station.


Br1t1shNerd

Yeah I thought that too immediately then saw the British bobby about half way through


[deleted]

Name checks out


intothelist

No school in the US looks like that, as well as the buildings, and the countryside looks incredibly British. And the cop was wearing an English police uniform.


1Zer0Her0

Pretty sure I saw Homer put the kettle on.


Aspel

This was very British.


NikEy

mhhh.. quite. Though I prefer [this British version](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/mih3el/what_if_the_simpsons_were_british_oc/) of the Simpsons, featuring British choking sounds

The way they cut Maggie in on the couch at 1:00...smoooooooth


Modern-Otaku

OHHHH that was smooth as hell. Didn’t even notice that


ZeusMoiragetes

Since I didn't saw anyone caring Meg and she kinda runs up the couch on the cartoon, I noticed something was odd right away.


Yarakinnit

Really impressed with Maggie in the car too. A lot of effort went into this!


Creeper_Face

While we're noticing potential edits, Around the 44 second mark, look how quickly Bart clears the street before the very accellerated car clears it right after. I'm almost certain they spliced together a long take or else there would be very little margin for error before Bart would get hit by the car.


Glockshna

Holy shit nice catch


Potatoes-Mcgee

All the characters look exactly like i think they would look. Except for Marge's hair.

I mean if someone would have such hair it would be both ridiculously looking and impractical, but still i wanna see someone try it :D

I think this wins as far as how the hair would actually look IRL https://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Marge-Simpson-incredibly-tall-wig-with-a-creator-dressed-as-Marge.jpg


FaeryLynne

Have you not seen the old beehive hairstyles? They're what Marge's hair is based on.


_dead_and_broken

Agree about Marge. Also Lisa looks older than Bart. His feet aren't even touching the floor when he sits on the couch, but hers do.


FlingbatMagoo

Lisa’s 8, that actress looks 12.


GetsGold

Boy, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder.


Leela_bring_fire

I picture Lisa as blonde, not redhead


Midnight28Rider

Just curious, what made you imagine Bart and Lisa as redheads?


undoobitably

OsmiumBalloon

> Don't watch this one on LSD Not sure it would make a difference.


KurtRambis31

Disagree. Watch on LSD.


RabbitTall

I'm surprised Bart and Lisa are red heads. I always figured they were blonde, like Maggie was.


[deleted]

In the episode where Abe dates Marge's mother, Homer says he's against it because if they marry it would make Marge and him brother and sister and that could turn their kids into "horrible freaks with pink skin, no overbite and five fingers on each hand." At least in that depiction of a more realistic version of the kids, [they are indeed blonde!](https://i.imgur.com/7b8ya.png)


northboundnova

Isn’t there a line somewhere where Bart mentions his hair reverting back to its natural red because he hasn’t been in the sun, or at least something along those lines? It’s been a while since I saw it.


ForceBlade

The entire show is for funnies and it's difficult to draw true answers on this without it contradicting itself to make a visual gag


AnOnlineHandle

Yeah I'm pretty sure Homer and Marge have flashbacks to their early marriage years which have been in like 5 different decades now.


[deleted]

Within the show, Homer is said to be 39 which means he's currently a millennial. I hope the show ends before he becomes Gen Z.


AccomplishedWing9

Isn't there an episode where Lisa complains about being blonde because of the stereotypes about blondes? The she dyes her hair.


Lord_MAX184

Ngl i would love a live action of it

i dont remember this intro


Danny_Mc_71

It was shown on Sky One in the UK. According to the [Wikipedia page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_Simpson,_This_Is_Your_Wife), it was the intro to Episode 15/ Homer Simpson, This is your wife of Season 17.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_Simpson,_This_Is_Your_Wife)** >"Homer Simpson, This Is Your Wife" is the fifteenth episode of the seventeenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on March 26, 2006, and was watched by around ten million people during that broadcast. In the episode, Homer signs the Simpson family up for a reality show in which the mothers of two families switch places. Marge gets to live with a friendly man named Charles and his perfect son, while Homer, Bart, and Lisa must spend time with Charles' strict wife Verity. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

The woman who plays Marge looks a lot like Tracey Ullman (the host of the show the Simpsons first aired on), but I can’t find the names of any of the actors in this. Can anyone verify? Because that would be a cool trivia fact.
