    Ground Zero; About Me; Model U.N.; International Relations; Web Pages; Internet Links The following packet was written by Hayden Hurst. Please direct any comments to [email protected]. The Fifth Simpsons Packet Toss-Ups 1. The Simpsons' first Emmy win for Outstanding Music and Lyrics in 1997 came for "We Put The Spring In Springfield". It's second came one year later, with a song that involved no traditional Simpsons cast members. It is, however, a relatively elaborate number - moving from Los Angeles to elsewhere in California - all while never leaving New York. Oh, and it also involves strapping down Liza Minelli. For ten points, name this song, a key feature of the Broadway play "Kickin' It". ANSWER: You're _CHECKING IN_ (accept ''I'm Checking In") (accept "We Put The Spring In Springfield" before it's said) 2. Its adjunct gets its name from Chief Starving Bear, and it's located on Bid Snake Lake and below Mount Avalanche. It was originally run by Mr. Black - afterwards, it was worse than Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq put together. For ten points, name this Krustiest place on Earth. ANSWER: _KAMP KRUSTY_ 3. The answer is sort of a tie. In any case, it does not involve running around a beer truck or marrying Marge. It may involve a Krustyburger, an hour-long episode of Mama's family, and Lisa's birth. However, it's probably involves skipping church, winning a radio contest, making moon waffles, and finding a penny. For ten points, what am I talking about? ANSWER: _BEST DAY OF HOMER'S LIFE_ (accept equivalents) 4.

  • The Simpson Pedigree Family Trait Data: the Following Have 4 Fingers
    The Simpson Pedigree Many years ago, Abe Simpson married the dashing blue haired Penelope Olson. The two fell madly in love and had two sons – Herb and Homer. Not much is known about Herb. It is unknown if he ever married or if the “Four finger trait” was passed on but early family photos show Herb appeared normal. When Homer was in high school he met Marge, a dashing blue-haired beauty. Homer noticed the difference between them, but Marge didn’t seem to care. As the saying goes, the rest was history. Homer and Marge fell for each and married shortly after high school. Marge’s family was not without the trait but none of her sisters had it and neither did Marge. Marge’s mom, Jackie married Clancy Burns, the wealthy owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Their first born was Marge but they had two more girls Patty and Selma. Patty eventually ended up marrying Troy McClure, the actor, much to the surprise and disappointment of her sister/best friend/only friend Selma. In response Selma married the Comic Book Guy named Guy. They had two children; a girl named Patrice and a son named Jub-Jub (after Selma’s favorite pet lizard). Back to Marge and Homer – Marge and Homer’s first child, Bartholomew was quite a terror. Fortunately, their second child, Lisa was nothing like Bart. Six years later, Maggie was born. Bart reunited with one of his first loves, Reverend Lovejoy’s daughter Grace, and they got married at Krusty Burger in Springfield.

  • Postmodernism and the Simpsons
    Hugvísindadeild Postmodernism and The Simpsons Intertextuality, Hyperreality and Critique of Metanarratives Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Björn Erlingur Flóki Björnsson Kt. 110982-5779 Maí 2006 Abstract This essay offers a postmodernist reading of the popular television program The Simpsons , with special regard to the postmodern theories of intertexuality, hyperreality, and metanarratives. Before delving into The Simpsons , some major theoretical aspects of postmodernism in aesthetic production are outlined. Three of the most prominent theorists of postmodernism – Lyotard, Baudrillard and Jameson – are introduced, as well as their theories which will be brought into consideration in the following chapters. The objective of the essay is to apply these theories to The Simpsons and thereby reveal some of the foremost characteristics of the postmodern which are readily exhibited in the show. The first section, on Lyotard’s theory of metanarratives, explores the manifestations of anti-authoritative tendencies in The Simpsons and the methods used to express them. The following section covers the subject of intertextuality in The Simpsons through parody, pastiche and self-reflexivity. This section concludes by identifying parallels between The Simpsons and Jameson’s theory on the loss of historical reality in the postmodern era. In the final section we examine how Baudrillard’s theory of hyperreality can be applied to The Simpsons . Particular attention is given to the role of the mass media in the construction of postmodern hyperreality, in order to illustrate the media’s influence on Springfield’s most famous citizen, Homer Simpson. Table of Contents Introduction .......................................................................................................................... 4 Postmodernism: Profile of a Cultural Movement ................................................................ 4 Key Terms and Theories of Postmodernism ......................................................................
