  • 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.

  • The Simpsons' Waylon Smithers
    The Simpsons’ Waylon Smithers Introducing the Character Waylon Smithers Jr. is an animated character and one of the “regular” cast members of the long-running Fox network’s cartoon for adults The Simpsons. The show, which recently entered its fourth decade, is a comedy and parody that takes a satirical look at American society and Western cultural values. Waylon Smithers Jr. is the personal assistant to Mr. Montgomery Burns, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Cast as Mr. Burns’s selfless, self-effacing, and dedicated assistant, Smithers, as he is referred to on the show, is a gay man who has not let his sexual identity become known to others on the show. He secretly fantasizes about sexual trysts with his boss and even has a pop-up screen saver on his computer that contains a naked image of Mr. Burns that says “Hello Smithers, you’re quite good at turning me on.” Smithers is often the butt of jokes by others at the power plant, most notoriously Homer Simpson, who has long suspected Smithers of being gay. Smithers continually ingratiates himself to Mr. Burns—a deeply narcissistic and sadistic employer and person who may at some level know of Smithers’s interest in him and who takes advantage of him at all turns. The following basic case summary and diagnostic impressions present our portrayal of Smithers’s recent counseling session as a result of troubles at work. Basic Case Summary Identifying Information. Waylon Smithers Jr. is a 48-year-old European American male of Norwegian descent who has been working as an executive assistant at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant for the last 20 years.

  • Prof. Jobbitt – HIS493S A
    Prof. Jobbitt – HIS493S A. Justin Del Giudice, 1 Springfield: A Constructed Community within American Pop-Culture and the Nature of Identity "I'm never going to find that tree, this whole raid's been as useless as that yellow-shaped rock over there...hey, there's a lemon behind that rock...the tree"-Bart Simpson As Bart so eloquently put it, the uselessness of the yellow shaped rock can be used as a metaphor to represent the Simpsons as a cultural phenomenon. If we take the Simpsons at face value, simply being a childish cartoon show that is nothing more than comedic entertainment, of no concern to nationalist study, it becomes a “useless rock” like the one found by Bart. But if we delve deeper using analytical tools of nationalism to deconstruct the Simpsons, looking beyond the façade of the “rock” which impedes our analysis, it is soon evident that the Simpsons as a case-study is as useful as the concealed lemon used to symbolize the identity of Springfield as a constructed community. 1 Whether the show was intentionally filled with nationalist rhetoric by the writing staff or if it is by pure coincidence, it makes no difference, the examples are abundant. There are four notable episodes which provide examples of Springfield as a constructed community – a land area with defined boundaries whose people share a common identity, traditions, symbols, and ceremonies of commemoration used to support these idealized notions of who the people of Springfield are and what their town represents to them in terms of nationalist principles.

  • The Simpsons Tapped out - Analysis and Proposed Events Overview
    The Simpsons Tapped Out - Analysis and Proposed Events Overview Players like myself have faithfully enjoyed The Simpsons Tapped Out (TSTO) for several years. The developers have continued to expand the game and provide updates in response to player feedback. This has been evident in tools such as the IRS Building tap radius, the Introduction Unemployment Office Job Manager and the Cut & Paste feature, all of which are greatly appreciated by players and have extended the playability of TSTO for many of us who would have otherwise found the game too tedious to continue once their Springfields grew so large. Notably, as respects Events, positive reactive efforts were identifiable in the 2017 Winter Event and the modified use of craft currency. As evident from the forums, many dedicated and heavily-invested players have grown tired with some of TSTO's stale mechanics and gameplay, as well as the proliferation of uninspired content, much of which has little to no place in Springfield, if even the world of "The Simpsons." This Premise player attitude is often displayed in the later stages of major Events as players begin to sense monotony due to a lack in changes throughout an Event, resulting in a feeling that one is merely grinding through the game to stock up on largely unwanted Items. Content-driven major Events geared toward "The Simpsons" version of Springfield with changes of pace, more like mini-Events, and the Solution addition of new Effects, enabling a variety of looks while injecting a new degree of both familiarity and customization for players. The proposed Events and gameplay changes are steeped in canonical content rather than original content.

  • The Fifth Simpsons Packet.Pdf
    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.
