The Simpsons share perfect clip to describe Steelers season

The Steelers season was a huge letdown for many fans and The Simpson had some fun with it.

Whether it is predicting the future or just describing the present, The Simpsons just seem to always get it right. Their latest was a series of tweets with each one showing a clip from the beloved TV series that perfectly describes each NFL team’s 2023 season.

The one they posted for the Pittsburgh Steelers really hit the nail on the head. The clip, that you can see below is of Grandpa Simpson pounding away at a typewriter saying, “Many of us are resentful, bitter individuals who miss the good old days.”

If that doesn’t perfectly describe many in the current fanbase, I’m not sure what does.

The Steelers finished the 2023 season at 10-7 and snuck into the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Steelers trend of playoff futility continued, which brought out the bitter, resentful fans who miss the glory days of the Steelers when playoff wins were easy to come by.

Everyone made the same hilarious ‘Simpsons’ joke about the Broncos getting sold

Thanks, Hank Scorpio!

The Denver Broncos have been sold for an absurd amount of money.

The reported amount: $4.65 BILLION! And the franchise is being bought by the Walton-Penner group, which includes Rob Walton, the heir to Walmart, Carrie Walton Penner (his daughter) and her husband Greg.

That had a lot of people on Twitter making the same joke: In the classic Season 8 episode of The Simpsons known as “You Only Move Twice,” Homer and the family move to Cypress Creek. He works for supervillain Hank Scorpio and mentions his dream is to someday own the Dallas Cowboys.

But when Homer gets back to Springfield, Scorpio has bought the Denver Broncos for him.

Lots of the same joke ahead:

Los 9 jugadores de la MLB en el episodio “Homero al bat” de los Simpson, rankeados por el 30 aniversario

Un feliz 30 aniversario el domingo a uno de los mejores episodios deportivos en televisión: “Homero al bat”, un episodio de Los Simpsons de 1992 protagonizado por nueve jugadores de la Major League Baseball contratados para ganar un juego de softball por el equipo de la Planta de Poder de Springfield de Montgomery Burns.

El episodio es icónico por muchas razones, tanto asó que Homero Simpson – quien anotó el RBI ganador gracias a un picheo que lo dejó inconsciente – recibió su propia placa en el Salón de la Fama del Béisbol.

Así que decidimos que la mejor manera de celebrar sería ranqueando los nueve jugadores que participaron, con una mezcla de sus mejores citas, destinos y más que decidieron quien fue el más memorable en este episodio:

All 9 MLB players from ‘The Simpsons’ ‘Homer at the Bat’ episode, ranked for 30th anniversary

Who was the best guest star of the iconic ep?

A happy 30th anniversary on Sunday to one of the all-time greatest sports-themed episodes of television: “Home at the Bat,” a 1992 episode of The Simpsons starring nine Major League Baseball players hired as ringers to win a softball game for Montgomery Burns’ Springfield Power Plant team.

It’s an iconic episode for so many reasons, so much so that Homer Simpson — who delivered the game-winning RBI thanks to a hit-by-pitch that knocked him cold — received his own Baseball Hall of Fame plaque.

We decided the best thing to do to celebrate would be to rank the nine players who guest-starred, with a mix of their quotes, fates and more deciding who was the most memorable in the ep:

Why Super Bowl bettors are (erroneously) using ‘The Simpsons’ to bet on the same final Bengals-Rams score, explained

What the … ?

Welcome to FTW Explains, a guide to catching up on and better understanding stuff going on in the world. You may have seen some Simpsons memes being thrown around about the Super Bowl and betting and you may be wondering what’s up. We’re here to help.

We are all hopefully familiar with the phenomenon involving The Simpsons predicting future events, from Game of Thrones to curling results and more.

This is a case where the legendary animated series actually didn’t make a correct prediction … but some photoshopping made it seem that way and suddenly, people are betting on it. Let’s dive in.

7 video game sequels we’re desperate to see

Yeah, remakes are nice, but imagine getting some long-awaited sequels.

Remakes seem to be the hottest trend in the video game industry at the moment. Classic games like Final Fantasy 7 and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater are being brought back to life with a new lick of paint and modernized controls to allow a whole new generation of players to enjoy them. But what about the games that deserve actual follow-ups instead? Some series have lain dormant for years, while other one-hit wonders have never seen the light of day for decades.

In this article, we’re going to run through some seriously influential games in the hopes of galvanizing some potential revivals. If you haven’t played them, this list should also stoke your interest in some older titles that are well worth going back to, even now. If you’re tired of endless remakes and remasters, here are some of our favorite games that really warrant a modern sequel, with all the trimmings.

PSA: There’s a rugby player who looks just like ‘The Simpsons’ villain Hank Scorpio

Very important.

I’m going acknowledge up front that I’m probably late to this, but I don’t care: I have discovered Brad Parker, the rugby player who everyone thinks looks like Hank Scorpio.

Scorpio, you probably recall if you’re a Simpsons fan, is the centerpiece at the center of You Only Move Twice, the Season 8 episode in which Homer moves to Cypress Creek to work for the Globex Corporation. It’s run by Hank Scorpio (voiced perfectly by Albert Brooks), who turns out to be a world-dominating villain who also happens to be a really good boss.

Parker is a centre for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles rugby squad in Australia. And while flipping through Reddit, I stumbled upon “Hank Scorpio makes a beautiful run to score a try off of a double pump pass from Kieran Foran.”

“Isn’t Scorpio the name of the guy from The Simpsons?” I wondered. Upon watching the video and googling, I have discovered Parker-as-Scorpio is a thing:

You see it, right? I told you this was important! I was truly missing out on some fun.

‘The Simpsons’ once again predicted the future with some key Inauguration moments

Wow!

Fans of The Simpsons have spent the past few years pointing out how the series has weirdly predicted a whole bunch of stuff: The Broncos and Seahawks playing in the Super Bowl, A Germany and Brazil World Cup final, something in Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl halftime show, and a Game of Thrones twist.

We’ve already pointed out the show even nailed the Donald Trump presidency in a 2000 episode, Bart to the Future. But it’s that episode and scene that are coming up again after the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

It’s what President Lisa Simpson was wearing that has everyone saying the show did it again. Here’s the scene:

And the tweets:

Then there’s the fact that Tom Hanks hosted the primetime inauguration special on Wednesday night. The actor made a cameo in The Simpson Movie in 2007, in which he says, “The U.S. government has lost its credibility, so it’s borrowing some of mine.”

Does that count? Whatever, it’s just hilarious at this point.
