Sky One Recreates ‘The Simpsons’ Opening Credits… With People!




This possibly won’t mean as much as a message as it does over here, given that The Simpsons is made in America, for the American Fox network, to be shown on the Fox network, in America, and therefore there’s no real competition over which channel it truly belongs to.

However, over in the UK, the story is a little fiddlier. The latest episodes have appeared on Sky One (which is, like Fox, a part of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation), but the older ones are also syndicated, every weekday evening at 6pm, to Channel 4, having moved from a previous slot on BBCTwo.

So, in a bid to remind UK Simpsons fans exactly where the show belongs, they’ve made this, a recreation of the show’s opening credits, using real people, and some very old cars.

Lisa: It's awful being a kid; no one listens to you.
Grampa: It's rotten being old; no one listens to you.
Homer: I'm a white male, aged 18-49. Everyone listens to me, no matter how dumb my suggestions are!

My stepson is 9 and got into The Simpsons in november. We only had two seasons, and since it's not on Netflix, he got like 6 boxsets as various gifts and stocking stuffers.

... And he's already gone through all of them.

Scrolling down the first page of comments and the video keeps getting older and older. Does anyone recognize it from the Middle Ages yet?
migratinglime 27th-Feb-2013 05:32 am (UTC)
haha well it's really from 2006. It doesn't seem that long ago so I guess I understand some people saying 3 years ago..
