A thought...

I was just thinkin about a possible New Years Eve episode of The Simpsons where they go to NY to see the festivities and Bart gets bored and makes a crank call to a pizza place using the name I.C. Wiener...

No one actually WANTS alt.tv.simpsons--it's like a crowded city that a bunch of people go to but no one actually enjoys it.

Actually, he doesn't... remember the pilot episode of Futurama? Fry delivered a pizza to one "I.C. Wiener" and lamented this fact just before he got frozen.... That, indeed, would be a funny bit of irony... although, it can't happen... in the Futurama episode about the trashteroid Fry held up some of the "cool stuff" that had been deposited on the ball of garbage, one of which was a Bart Simpson doll- whose shorts Bender ate when politely asked. =D

Well, I was thinking about that. I believe there was an episode where the Simpsons became famous and merchandise of them was produced. Not that I think about these things alot.

Oh yeah... the dolls could be from Bart's stint as the "I didn't do it!" boy, and not from the TV series. Although the doll should've said that instead of "eat my shorts", but then Bender couldn't have eaten his shorts so--ehh, never mind.

It was probably a multi-phrase doll. How lame would it be for the doll to only say one thing. Anyway I would LOVE to continue in this, but I am leaving for vacation in 20mins. Later.

You're referring to the Monkey's Paw episode, I take it? If I recall correctly, the end of the episode had Ed Flanders with the monkey's paw, wishing for world peace (which we ALL know didn't happen in reality as later episodes evidenced). I chalk that episode to one of those "Tales of the Weird" kinda things... Golly! But debunking people's ideas is fun!!! <=P

I don't remember the title of the episode, but Bart's class was at the box factory on a field trip. Bart skipped out and went over to the TV station and became Krusty's assistant. Sideshow Mel gets sick and Bart gets a small part on a skit, knocking the set over and exclaiming... "I didn't do it!"

Left-over Bart merchandise was also present at the Evergreen Terrace block-sale. (Same eep with George Bush)

Thanks for the clarification... I've not seen that episode yet... but I've long since learned not to contradict that which I have not experienced myself. That said, I misunderstood and I was wrong for opening my "mouth". If any toes were stepped upon, I say, "Woopsie!" =D

The "Monkey's Paw" spoof happened on a "Simpsons" Halloween episode. ("Treehouse of Horror II (8F02)," to be exact.) According to the <alt.tv.simpsons> FAQ, Halloween episodes don't count toward continuity. So, the family didn't "really" become famous and have a lot of merchandise made in thier likeness.

I do like the root poster's notion of having Bart pull a prank call on some pizzeria; it just brings things so full circle.

Did anyone check to see how many fingers were on each hand of the Bart Simpson doll that Bender picked up? One would think that inside the four-fingered reality of Futurama, their animators would still be lazy and hence produce toon figures with only three fingers, and the Bart doll should follow that model. Not that I think about these things a lot.

mikey

I think it would make more sense to only have 3 fingers in our world we have five and cartoons have four so in their world where they only have 4 their cartoons would only have 3. Also you only draw 4 fingers not because they are lazy but cartoon characters look bad with 5 fingers it requires a lot of depth to pull it off.

just my 2 cents

Maybe the Futurama artists looked at a "real" Bart doll and drew only 3 fingers?
