  • The Id, the Ego and the Superego of the Simpsons
    Hugvísindasvið The Id, the Ego and the Superego of The Simpsons B.A. Essay Stefán Birgir Stefánsson January 2013 University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English The Id, the Ego and the Superego of The Simpsons B.A. Essay Stefán Birgir Stefánsson Kt.: 090285-2119 Supervisor: Anna Heiða Pálsdóttir January 2013 Abstract The purpose of this essay is to explore three main characters from the popular television series The Simpsons in regards to Sigmund Freud‟s theories in psychoanalytical analysis. This exploration is done because of great interest by the author and the lack of psychoanalytical analysis found connected to The Simpsons television show. The main aim is to show that these three characters, Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson and Ned Flanders, represent Freud‟s three parts of the psyche, the id, the ego and the superego, respectively. Other Freudian terms and ideas are also discussed. Those include: the reality principle, the pleasure principle, anxiety, repression and aggression. For this analysis English translations of Sigmund Freud‟s original texts and other written sources, including psychology textbooks, and a selection of The Simpsons episodes, are used. The character study is split into three chapters, one for each character. The first chapter, which is about Homer Simpson and his controlling id, his oral character, the Oedipus complex and his relationship with his parents, is the longest due to the subchapter on the relationship between him and Marge, the id and the ego. The second chapter is on Marge Simpson, her phobia, anxiety, aggression and repression. In the third and last chapter, Ned Flanders and his superego is studied, mainly through the religious aspect of the character.

SIMPSON El corto titulado “Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office”,1 publicado el 26 de abril de 2017 como parte de la temporada 28 de Los Simpson en el canal Animation Fox en Youtube, cierra con un negro sarcasmo.2 En una serie, en la que por casi tres décadas se han utilizado los matices y las sutilezas indis- pensables para que los episodios, escritos con gran inteligencia por presti- giosos grupos de guionistas irreverentes,3 tengan como característica sobresaliente tres figuras retóricas, la parodia, la ironía y, sobre todo, la sátira, * Directora e investigadora del Centro de Investigaciones sobre América del Norte de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, <[email protected]>. 1 En este artículo utilizaré los títulos de los capítulos y los nombres que se le han dado a los per- sonajes en español en el doblaje para México (donde la serie comenzó a transmitirse en el canal 13 de Imevisión en marzo de 1991, los martes a las 20:30 horas), pero, en su mayoría, las citas textuales de los diálogos se harán en el original en inglés debido a que el doblaje tropicaliza las alusiones y, por tratarse aquí de los partidos y los políticos estadunidenses, es importante que se conserven. En el caso específico de este corto, puesto que no fue exhibido fuera de Estados Unidos y Canadá, y como la wiki en español aún está consignando la temporada 27, el título del mismo se anota en inglés.

Posted: Mon., Dec. 28, 2009, 8:00pm PT Adler, McCarthy engulfed in WWII 'Fog' Producers option sci-fi horror comicbook 'Night and Fog' By TATIANA SIEGEL Producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy have optioned the sci-fi horror comicbook "Night and Fog" from publisher Studio 407. No stranger to comicbook-based material, Adler has produced such graphic-based fare as "Constantine," "Superman Returns" and the upcoming Brandon Routh starrer "Dead of Night," which is based on the popular Italian title "Dylan Dog." This material is definitely in my strike zone in more ways than one," Adler said, noting his prior role as a producer of such horror projects as the "Tales From the Crypt" series. "But what really appealed to me wasn't so much the genre trappings but rather the characters that really drive this story." Set during WWII, story revolves around an infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable. Studio 407's Alex Leung will also serve as a producer on "Night and Fog." Adler and McCarthy are also teaming to produce an adaptation of "Havana Nocturne" along with Eric Eisner. They also recently optioned Ken Bruen's crime thriller "Tower." "Night and Fog" is available in comic shops in the single-issue format and digitally on iPhone through Comixology.

  • Chicago Open Trash 2018: Look at All Those Chickens by Rob Carson, Carsten Gehring, and Andrew Hart Round 12: Tossups
    Chicago Open Trash 2018: Look at All Those Chickens by Rob Carson, Carsten Gehring, and Andrew Hart Round 12: Tossups 1. On an episode of this show, a character tells a psychiatrist about his recurring dream in which he gives the answer “the French Revolution” to a prompt about Goldie Hawn when he’s in the center on Hollywood Squares. In a film based on this show, the title character’s partner works as a waiter at a restaurant called T.S., where he vents his frustrations to frequent customer Conan O’Brien. An episode of this show is a parody of The Road to Morocco in which Cary Grant plays vizier “Abu Ben Dover,” whose army is actually a harem. Seinfeld actress Estelle Harris plays the title character’s mother on this show, whose main antagonist is the radio talk show host (*) Laura Schlessinger. Billy West voices Bi-Polar Bear on this show, whose other characters include Openly Gator, the title character’s significant other. The Critic and The Simpsons writer Mike Reiss created, for 10 points, what animated icebox.com and Showtime series about a flamboyant waterfowl? ANSWER: Queer Duck <Hart> 2. At the very end of the film in which this object appears, a shot slowly zooms in on it after a man says that he “can’t even make a collie stay” and gleefully observes an empty street. This object is shown immediately after the explosion of a red pickup truck that has careened to the bottom of a quarry. This object conveys a conversation about the “big question” on people’s “chapped lips” and the query “what is this, Miami Beach?” A character experiences distressing results after snapping a (*) pencil and placing half of it atop this object that, in most appearances, projects the lines “okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cold out there!” This object plays the lyrics “now put your little hand in mine; there ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb” after it flips over to display a six and two zeroes.

    BABYSITTING BANDIT PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Carolyn Keene,Macky Pamintuan | 96 pages | 01 Jan 2010 | SIMON & SCHUSTER | 9781416978138 | English | New York, NY, United States Simpsons Babysitter Bart The episode was first directed by Kent Butterworth. Klasky-Csupo , the animation studio that produced the earlier Simpsons shorts, was in charge of the animation, with one exception. During the years of producing the shorts, everything was created in-house. The producers felt the animation did not exhibit a distinct style envisioned for the show. At the time, there were only a few choices for animation style; usually, animators would follow the styles of Disney , Warner Bros. Disney and Warner Bros. Meanwhile, Hanna-Barbera's style relied on exaggerated sound effects, which they did not want to use either. The producers considered aborting the series if the next episode, " Bart the Genius ", turned out as this episode, but fortunately it turned out to suffer only a few easily-fixed problems. The premiere then switched to " Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire ", which had to be aired in December; being a Christmas special. Directorial retakes were handled by David Silverman , who already had considerable experience directing the shorts. Most of these retakes consisted of changing the backgrounds. The result is an episode where the animation is uneven because it shifts between the early animation and the retakes. The episode featured several early character designs; Moe Szyslak has black hair in this episode, which was later changed to grey, while Barney Gumble has yellow hair, which was later changed to brown in order to differentiate the character's hair color from that of his skin.
