Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in the Simpsons
THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD Film Studies in the University of Hull by Jemma Diane Gilboy, BFA, BA (Hons) (University of Regina), MScRes (University of Edinburgh) April 2016 Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons by Jemma D. Gilboy University of Hull 201108684 Abstract (Thesis Summary) The objective of this thesis is to establish meme theory as an analytical paradigm within the fields of screen and fan studies. Meme theory is an emerging framework founded upon the broad concept of a “meme”, a unit of culture that, if successful, proliferates among a given group of people. Created as a cultural analogue to genetics, memetics has developed into a cultural theory and, as the concept of memes is increasingly applied to online behaviours and activities, its relevance to the area of media studies materialises. The landscapes of media production and spectatorship are in constant fluctuation in response to rapid technological progress. The internet provides global citizens with unprecedented access to media texts (and their producers), information, and other individuals and collectives who share similar knowledge and interests. The unprecedented speed with (and extent to) which information and media content spread among individuals and communities warrants the consideration of a modern analytical paradigm that can accommodate and keep up with developments. Meme theory fills this gap as it is compatible with existing frameworks and offers researchers a new perspective on the factors driving the popularity and spread (or lack of popular engagement with) a given media text and its audience. -
S Mr. Burns Is a Misfire
Brown’s Mr. Burns Is a Misfire Mr. Burns – A Post-Electric Play begins with an intriguing premise – the survivors of a nuclear apocalypse gather together and reminisce about a classic episode of “The Simpsons” — and then proceeds to do nothing with it. The story then jumps ahead 7 years, when the group attempts to recreate that very same episode of “The Simpsons,” the one with the homicidal clown Sideshow Bob. Act 2 concludes with an extended musical medley of hit pop songs from the last decade. Seventy-five years later, the band of survivors has transformed into the Simpsons characters: Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa, Edna Krabappel, and of course, the evil Mr. Burns. If writer Anne Washburn had really explored the need of these characters to escape the horror around them by escaping into the fantasy world of a beloved television comedy, then Mr. Burns could have been something special. Instead, the story goes off the rails in the second act and never recovers. It’s just a disjointed mess. That’s unfortunate, because there are a talented and engaging group of performers here. Jesse Weil plays Gibson and Bart Simpson. Weil is quite effective in a scene when Gibson has a mental breakdown. He also is a fine singer, as is Evan Silver, who plays Mr. Burns. I also liked Hiromi Komorita as Maria and Jenna Chapman as Jenny. They have an effortless charm and are obviously having a great time in these roles. Ben Hayslett-Ubell is a lot of fun to watch as he skillfully mimics Homer Simpson. -
Homer Economicus: Using the Simpsons to Teach Economics
Homer Economicus: Using The Simpsons to Teach Economics Joshua Hall* West Virginia University Getting students to understand the economic way of thinking might be the most difficult aspect of a teaching economist=s job. The counterintuitive nature of economics often makes it difficult to get the average student to think Alike an economist.@ To this end, the need to keep students engaged and interested is essential when teaching economic principles and interdisciplinary approaches to engaging students are becoming increasingly common. For example, Leet and Houser (2003) build an entire principles class around classic films and documentaries while Watts (1999) discusses how literary passages can be used to teach a typical undergraduate course more effectively. I further extend this interdisciplinary approach to economic education by providing examples from the long-running animated television show The Simpsons that can be used to stimulate student discussion and engagement in an introductory course in microeconomics. Using The Simpsons in the classroom The bulk of this paper describes scenes from The Simpsons that illustrate basic economic concepts. While the examples are pretty straightforward, the difficulty in using The Simpsons lies in deciding: where to place the examples into the lecture and the best way to present the scene to the students. _____________________________ * The author gratefully acknowledges the financial support of The Buckeye Institute. One difficult feature of using any popular culture in the classroom, even a show that has been on the air for fifteen seasons and 300-plus episodes, is that students do not all have the same frame of reference, even in the most homogenous of classrooms. -

Die Welt Der Simpsons
Der ultimative Episoden-Führer Staffel 1 bis 20 AHOY-HOY, SIMPSONS-FANATIKER! Willkommen zu Die Welt der Simpsons, dem ultimativen Episodenführer (Staffel 1 bis 20), dem bis jetzt größten, dicksten und – so man ihn auf euren Kopf fallen ließe – auch tödlichsten Begleitband zur Serie. In diesem tödlichen Klotz von einem Buch findet ihr Insider-Gags, aufdringliche Wortspiele, subtile Anspielungen, uralte Sprüche, prägnante Handlungszusammenfassungen, obskure Derbheiten und subversive Propaganda, die Die Simpsons in den vergangenen mehr als 20 Jahren so beliebt und nervig gemacht haben. Und regt euch gar nicht erst auf, weil diese mächtige Schwarte etwa aus älteren Simpsons-Büchern zusammengebastelt sein könnte. Jede Folge wurde noch einmal gründlich auf neue versteckte Gags abgesucht, und verflixt noch mal, wir haben noch so einige gefunden! Außerdem haben wir jede Menge zusätzliche Witze einbauen können, für die vorher kein Platz war, dazu unzählige neue Zeichnungen, interessante Statistiken und überaus triviale Details. Blättert ruhig ein wenig in diesem Kompendium während der Werbepausen, wenn ihr die 30. Wiederholung der Simpsons seht, aber denkt ja nicht an eure vergängliche Jugend. Glaubt uns, das würde euch nur deprimieren. Obwohl dieses Buch vor allem für die treuesten Simpsons-Fans gestaltet wurde, wird es auch als Referenz für alle Zeichner, Autoren, Produzenten, Designer und Produktionsassistenten der Serie dienen. Ehrlich gesagt arbeiten die meisten von uns schon so lange an den Simpsons, dass wir ein wenig vergesslich werden, und die Informationen in diesem Buch werden uns helfen, unsere erratischen Erinnerungen anzustacheln. Heben wir also das Glas auf 20 Staffeln, die Vergänglichkeit der Jugend, nie enden wollende Abgabetermine, chronische Müdigkeit und ein paar echt gute Lacher. -
