DAILY MANIFESTO

Simpsons Intro Looks Good in Blocks

Posted on Tuesday, September 27 @ 11:01:06 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

Stupid Blocky Flanders!

What is it about anything Simpsons that immediately has me reaching for the remote? I'm almost always on the verge of watching the entire damn series all over again. I know it's gone on forever, and it isn't what it used to be, but there's something about all those yellow, yellow people that you'll never leave behind.

Speaking of which, what's your favorite Simpsons game? I know most of them suck but I've got a soft spot in my heart for Simpsons Hit & Run. You've also gotta love The Simpsons Arcade (NOT the iPhone version I'm forced to link to).

I felt a little odd renting Simpsons Hit and Run, 16 year old renting a cartoon video game and all, thank god that passed. Only played it a few times, but I remember it being decent. Barts Nightmare was a long time ago, and it was alright for me at the time.

But nothing beats the arcade game. Greatness.

Oddly enough, I noticed that this is the old Simpsons intro. The new one has Sideshow Bob, Apu's 8 kids and Moleman in the scene where Bart skateboards on the sidewalk and eventually in front of Marge and Maggie in the car.

I actually enjoyed the 3d platforming one that came out like 4 years ago even though it didn't get great reviews. Of course the arcade beat em up. Cool video tho

Sorry I disagree. That looked like balls. Well it looked like blocks, but I'm saying it looks like balls because I didn't like it.

How can I "block" this video from my mind?

Why the hell is the music teacher naked? And dear god Marge is horrifying. Faces should not be in chests!

I kinda feel as if a mugger robbed me of 1 minute and 32 seconds of my life.

I appreciate all the hard work that has undoubtedly gone into the making of this video, but somehow I expected more.

It is that I know what the original intro looks like so that I know what is supposed to be going on at any given moment during the video, otherwise I would be seriously puzzled.

A for effort.
C for execution.

And reading some of the comments above mine, I think I'm still being gracious.

p.s.
What the hell happened to Maggie? She turned into a Jabba the Hutt-esque yellow blob?
