The Simpsons take on 'Mapple'

We're sorry, but this only be streamed to United States, that's what I see.


Shame on them.

If there were any more indication that Apple deserves parodying, it's the immature comments on this post that beg for validation of their beloved company. They are a corporation. They make hits and misses. Successes and failures. Their 'fanbase' is composed of some overzealous and pretentious technophiles, whose objectivity (and sense of humor) is sorely lacking. Somehow an attack on Apple is a front to them, their values, and constructed social class. Every Apple product I own, I have enjoyed immensely more than Windows-based technology. But that's no reason for me not to be able to laugh at the bourgeouis religion of Apple and it's staunchest defenders. In fact, I think even Wozniack said something about the stupidity of people following their company like a religion, thinking that it can do no wrong.
Some of you guys remind me of the arguments I would get into in my middle school days. Sega and Nintendo were both great and they both sucked in their own way. Now grow up and mellow the %$#^ out.

Apple fundies: So far, you're the most convincing argument against Windows users opting in.

I have the intro clip on my blog for anyone outside the US, not as good quality as Hulu, but not too shabby :)

Too bad the Simpson's stopped being funny 11 Seasons ago (8 if I'm being generous)

I can't see this because I'm not in the US. Love TUAW, so please take note!

I took the underwater headquarters to be a nod to the motion underwater background in Photo Booth.

Do any of you read any posts on engadget?!? They're apple ass kissers anytime apple releases something new. People even go as far to say engadgets bloggers are on apples payroll.

Not really that funny, as per typical Simpsons writing. Why did they give Steve Jobs a lisp? Oh right because speech impediments are so edgy and cool to make fun of.

The writing has gone so far down the tubes. You know how you have that one friend who just makes awful, cringe-inducing jokes? That make the room awkward for a few moments? Yeah the Simpsons stretches that out for half an hour.

There are so many funnier ways and jokes to make fun of Apple, and they just went with the typical lowbrow Fox-mandated humor. Not even Apple was threatened, they had at least three commercials during the episode's time slot.

You can see the whole episode here :

I don't see why anyone should get worked up over this. I just saw it as a funny homageparody. I also liked how they had a USB submarine that docked into the underwater Mapple headquarters. I think this was funnier than some other Apple parodies that I've seen.

Also you forgot about the time Marge got a "feMac" (the computer designed just for women) from Flanders because he won it and didn't want to keep it because he didn't like the idea of random strangers "googling" each other.
