I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Tonight, on an all new episode episode of The Simpsons, Grandpa recalls his days fighting Saddam Hussein during Operation Desert Storm!

I had that thought about 30 minutes ago. They should kill the Simpsons and do a spinoff with Homer and Marge as kids. Kind of like the Flintstones Comedy Hour but in reverse. Or like the Muppet Babies, I guess? It would still be awful, but at least it would be a new and fresh kind of awful.

Here's the thing - Homer's 90s references don't make sense for his age. In the show, his age hovers around 34-36 - which means he wouldn't be listening to the Humpty Dance because he would have been too young for that. Instead, he would have been listening to loving Crazy Town or Limp Bizkit... oh god, I'm Homer Simpson's age...

Maybe if Homer was in his mid-40s, it might make sense.

Homer's age kept going up as the show went on and hit 40 by season 18. Still too young but now days the people writing the show at this point are also probably too young for any of that

I thought he was closer to 38, which is my age. If he were listening to hip hop, he'd probably be into Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Biggie, Busta Rhymes, stuff like that. That's what I remember as being popular hip hop when I was a teenager.

It varies actually. It keeps going up.

But yeah, all the stuff they're referencing is early 90s. Realistically, Homer should be listening to Wu Tang instead.

As long as they never have him listening to NiN, there's still hope.

Too bad Marilyn Manson is a giant creep (what a shocker!), because that could have been a "great" guest spot.

I’m 41, and I had Sex Packets and Naughty by Nature on cassette when I was 10 and 11, so it’s not entirely unbelievable that Homer would know of those groups, but in that pic he looks 20 or so, which would make him early 50s today.

Yeah, those posters are based on the singles for the songs. I’m sure posters like that existed, but they were probably for record stores and radio stations instead of ordinary consumers.

there is no canon. the Simpsons can be anything. episodes of the Flintstones are episodes of the Simpsons. episodes of Are You Being Served are the Simpsons. a memory of a summer kiss is the Simpsons. your recurring dream about ants is the Simpsons.

There is no Homer Simpson. There is Miguel Santorini, and he is a 7 foot dwarf with diamonds for eyes. Now there is Justin Farley, Queen of Rugby and the only horse in town. Now there is Gitgook Saddydanga and its colony of human bees. Now there is an unknowable entity gyrating endlessly in the gaps between your thoughts. There has never been a Homer Simpson. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

That’s awesome, is there a link to the thread please?


This is a lazy response, especially from a show runner. I know the continuity was never perfect but it was a fun element of the show that helped build the universe. Feels like “eh, we can leave an hour earlier if we don’t care.”
