In what sounds like Simpsons fan fiction from the least creative casual Simpsons viewer, a man named Bart Simpson stood on trial yesterday (or, the news BROKE yesterday at least) in front of a judge named Mr. Burns. AH! First The Simpsons took over some 7-11s a few years ago, and now this?! Or dreams are on their way of coming true! Other IRL fan fiction possibilities The Lord in Heaven was entertaining: “A police chief named Wiggum broke up fight at bar named Moe’s.” “Man named Apu owns greyhound named Maggie.” “We found an actual Principal Skinner!” From The Hollywood Reporter:
A man from Eccleshall, England with the same name as the famed carton troublemaker is facing a trial for bringing a firearm to a Birmingham airport last year. The judge in his case? None other than one Mr. Burns.
As detailed in a British news publication, the judge’s full name is Recorder Burns, not Montgomery, the name of the maniacal billionaire in The Simpson. Still, the pairing did make waves.
“It’s a bizarre coincidence that Bart Simpson is actually on trial in front of Mr. Burns but it’ll proceed as any other criminal case would,” a court source said.
Do you think TV God put Bart Simpson and Mr. Burns together so the case could proceed as any other criminal case would?! THAT’S UNPOSSIBLE! LOL #simpsons. But in all seriousness I’d like to respectfully ask honorable judge Mr. Burns to uphold all rules of Cartoon Court in this case, specifically: Gavel that goes “boink,” Krusty presented as an expert witness, Nelson in a suit acting as Bart Simpson’s lawyer, and some play on the “throw a book to prove the person doesn’t need a neck brace” trick, except the person’s head falls off at the end of it and goes “boink.” Thank you. Court dismissed.

I think the real story here is that some parents named their kid “Recorder.” What a name! Upvote Mr. Burns’ parents!
Recorder is a better cartoon name than Montgomery. The Simpsons should give Mr. Burns a brother named Recorder! Who’s a judge!
“Beloved son, I’m going to name you after the musical instrument you will be taught to play in kindergarten that is super annoying and which I will wish I could break over my knee except it’s made of plastic.”
I also really like the old-timey name Ransom, like Ransom Olds of Oldsmobile.
“Beloved son, I’m going to name you after the thing I’d have to pay kidnappers if they ever took you from me.”
Super Nintendo Chalmers = IRL jackpot
This is almost as good as the time I learned my friend’s doctor is actually named Dr. Pepper.
Ok so I just went to my profile and the two of these gifs I posted today are moving in unison and its kinda hypnotic. I am tempted to post this gif in my next 20 or so comments just for the spectacle on my profile.
Boo
Urns!
Are you saying “Boo” or “Boo-urns”?
I said “Boo-urns”.
I was saying Boo-urns.
If I were at the movies and a woman with Marge Simpson hair sat in front of me, I wouldn’t even be mad, I would just be impressed.
Now Kelly, Nelson as Bart’s representation instead of Lionel Hutz. That’s like going to Kentucky and not drinking a bottle of… delicious bourbon. Brownest of the brown liquors. What’s that? You want me to drink you? I’m in the middle of a comment.
This is my favorite comment of the week.
I second that notion.
Oh man, off topic, but I’m taking this break in upvotes/downvotes to mention that if you have any interest in the Videogum Monsters March Madness Bracket Group, I think you can still join until noon. But if you can’t, don’t blame me, I don’t make the rules. Let’s all be losers together!
I would be up for that but the link isn’t working.
I’m an idiot. Try this one.
Hey don’t sell yourself short. I wish I knew how to post even a broken link.
I just joined! I don’t follow college basketball at all, so this should be entertaining!
WOOOO! MARCH MADNESSSSSS!
No upvotes or downvotes puts us all on Equality Street.
I would like to take this opportunity to mention that I like the movie The Notebook and that I didn’t like Community past season one. Thank you.
Umm but Advanced Dungeons and Dragons was a Season 2 episode. You’re telling me you didn’t like that episode? Aerodynamics of Gender? Remedial Chaos Theory? Season 1 was probably the best as a whole but the best episodes are generally in Seasons 2 and 3.
Those 3 were great episodes but the series as a whole started going downhill from there. I don’t think there’s a single episode from season 3 that was on par with those 3 or any from season 1.
Remedial Chaos Theory was season 3. I guess I worded my original statement in a confusing way but still. And some of the other episodes maybe had weaknesses but were still pretty solid.
Ah damn. You got me. I liked Chaos Theory. I just think they stopped caring about the narrative in season 2 and relied to heavy on references to relate to the characters instead of human experience.
That’s a fair assessment. I agree that Season 1 was better overall and didn’t have as many weak episodes, but I think some of the episodes I mentioned and a few others have made it worthwhile. Even some of the bad episodes have had some shining moments.
Following your lead, I would like to take this time to mention that I honestly disliked Paperman deal with it dot gif.
If we’re going down this road…I like Rose on Doctor Who.
I always thought he would get over her. River’s cool for a wife.
I like The Walking Dead.
I don’t like Game of Thrones because there are too many boobs.
And I really lol at The Big Bang Theory! Sorry.
Not sorry!!!
I don’t like cake or pie.
I’m coming back for this one, lance oliver. You won’t get away with this.
There needs to be more 2 Broke Girls discussion in the This Week in Comedy Open Thread.
God I just hate this thread.
Not as much as I loathe Portlandia.
My gay Dr. is named Dr. Geyer…
Also, the first season of Parks and Rec was horrible.
I agree with this, though thankfully NBC did one thing right in the last 15 years and gave it another shot. Since then it’s been the BEST and I LOVE IT.
I feel like they did that with The office too. The first couple episodes were just awful but, after a while, the American Office had better episodes then the original The Office.
The pilot is kind of rough but the rest of the first season is actually pretty great!
Agreed, and what’s more the first season was only 6 episodes! And 3 of them were pretty good.
Penguins scare me.
Don’t kid yourself, those are scary creatures.
Darren Aronofsky is over rated.
I have never seen any Harry Potters nor do I care to.
Mick Jones was better than Joe Strummer.

Season 5 of The West Wing is awful, Zzz time TV.
I’ve never seen that show. And I’ve only been able to get through 10 minutes of The Wire… but mostly because it’s too realistic and it gave me reporter PTSD.
