  • 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.

    BACHELOROPPGAVE: American animation VS. Japanese Animation FORFATTER(E): Stian Olsen Frank Johnsen Dato: 23.05.2012 Summary This bachelor thesis is a comparative study between American animation and Japanese animation. We take a look into differences, taking into account the culture, history, production- and the animation techniques employed. The main theoretical questions that are answered in this study are: - How has each side of animation influenced the culture surrounding it, and vice versa? -Why can Japanese animation studios presumably produce more than twice the amount that an American animation studio produces? - What are some of the structural differences when looking at similar, but ultimately different, productions from each side of animation? We have come to decisive conclusions to each theoretical question. The biggest cultural influence for Japanese animation is the Shinto religion. It is at the core of Japanese animation, and influences both storytelling and visual elements. In American animation, a shift happened in the culture, making its animation oriented towards children. In later years, it shifted again towards adults. This gave birth to adult-oriented animated sitcoms, which has become the norm in America. Japanese animation studios produce content faster than American animation studios. The biggest reasons for this is their budgets, how detailed the work is, and how hard the studio pushes themselves. Japanese anime is not as detailed as American animation, therefore it doesn’t take as long to produce. On average, 30 minutes of Japanese animation takes 1-3 months to produce, while 30 minutes of American animation takes 6-9 months to produce. Some of the biggest structural differences between Japanese and American animation is how they blur the line between good and evil, and how they pace their stories.

  • Unit 6 Task 4 in My Essay I Will Using the Simpsons As My Primary Example Throughout
    Unit 6 Task 4 In my essay I will using The Simpsons as my primary example throughout. I will be analysing all aspects of The Simpsons and relating them to the points. What is The Simpsons? The Simpsons debuted in December of 1989 and was the original creation by Matt Groening, since then The Simpsons has become an extremely popular “family” show. Being shown in front of millions of screens. Genre Conventions: The Simpsons is an an American cartoon sitcom. The show is a comedy and has a wide range of humours in it, it's great for all ages. The show contains realistic storylines and plots in some cases, such as Homer dumping pig poop into a lake. Which has probably happened in the past in the real world. The next being the timing of the show, sitcoms are normally weekly. The Simpsons has a schedule that is normally followed with people knowing when the next show will be out. Stereotypes are followed and mocked in the show another important and large part of it. They are based around nearly every episode. Such as when the Simpsons ​visit Brazil​ and most nearly all the women are big busted and very beautiful. There is also a family which is another convention who are the central focus of every episode, with this they can really connect to their audience. Narrative Structures: Todorov's Equilibrium Theory: This theory is very prominent in The Simpsons Movie, you can clearly see the theory play out.The theory itself suggests that every media piece has a flow of equilibrium, the inserted diagram below shows clearly the path that the equilibrium takes.

  • Introduction: the Simpsons, Satire, and American Culture
    Notes Introduction: The Simpsons, Satire, and American Culture 1. Robert J. Thompson, Television’s Second Golden Age: From Hill Street Blues to ER (New York: Continuum, 1996), 19. 2. “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” (#7G08) ranked thirtieth for its timeslot the night it premiered and earned Fox a 22 percent share and a 14.5 rating. See “Nielsens,” USA Today, December 20, 1989, 3D, Lexis-Nexis Academic, October 2, 2003. 3. “Bart the Genius” (#7G02) ranked forty-eighth for its timeslot and earned Fox a 19 percent share and a 12.7 rating. See “Nielsens,” USA Today, January 17, 1990, 3D, Lexis-Nexis Academic, October 2, 2003. 4. Harry F. Waters, “Family Feuds,” Newsweek, April 23, 1990, 58. 5. Although The Simpsons often ranked within the top ten for weekly or monthly Nielsen totals, the show has not ranked high overall: at the end of the 1989–90 season, its first full season on the air, The Simpsons ranked only thirtieth. See “Final Season Ratings,” Electronic Media, April 23, 1990, 36, Lexis-Nexis Academic, October 2, 2003. http:// web.lexis-nexis.com/universe. Curiously, the show has never been among the top 25 in the Nielsen seasonal totals. It is no longer the ratings juggernaut it once was, but new episodes of The Simpsons still rank in the Nielsen top 50 among prime-time television shows and often in the top 20 among shows in syndication.
