BART GOES INCOGNITO AS A GUERRILLA GRAFFITI ARTIST

ON AN ALL-NEW “THE SIMPSONS”

SUNDAY, MARCH 4, ON FOX



Street Artists Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Kenny Scharf and

Robbie Conal Make Guest Voice Appearances



In order to get back at his dad, Bart goes undercover as a graffiti street artist and plasters Homer’s unflattering image all over Springfield. But one night, Bart and Milhouse get caught in the act by established street artists Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Kenny Scharf and Robbie Conal (guest voicing as themselves), and to Bart’s surprise, they invite him to exhibit his satirical artwork in his very own gallery show. Meanwhile, a hip, new health food superstore opens in Springfield that threatens to put Apu and the Kwik-E-Mart out of business in the all-new “Exit Through the Kwik-E-Mart” episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, March 4 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (SI-2309) (TV-PG D, L, V)


and promos

[cloneasaurus]

awwwwwwwwwwww, I was hoping for it to be the first Apu episode in 10 years.

But we haven't had an art themed episode in a while and I enjoyed "Exit Through The Gift Shop" a lot, so who knows if this will be good or not.

The promo card looks goods

[biffwestwood]

The last two episodes had a Bart/Milhouse subplot and two episodes after the second of those we will get a Bart/Milhouse main plot.

Yes but I'm happy of it because Bart and Milhouse are very good together !

uh-oh, I sense a dig at Whole Foods coming, complete with a stupid parody name.

[Jesse Pinkman]

really looking forward to this episode.

kinda disappointing it's not an apu centered episode (Sub plot is though), but oh well

[Financial Panther]

Subplot sounds interesting, but not the main plot. I've never even heard of those people.

[Bleedin' Gums Murphy]

Yes but I'm happy of it because Bart and Milhouse are very good together !

Not for me, just incredibly lame and unfunny when they're together and they've been in too many episodes recently. Unfortunately neither characters have been funny since well even back to the reign of Scully Simpsons.

[Dark Homer]

is it possible for a simpsons character to develop a skill without meeting the most famous people associated with that skill?

[Dark Homer]

oh by the way here's some of upcoming guest star Ron English's artwork






I thought these were highly critical of the role of the simpsons' role in culture but now I'm not entirely sure... especially since the pollockesque homer one has been commodified into a puzzle

[The Governor]

uh-oh, I sense a dig at Whole Foods coming, complete with a stupid parody name.

The "Health-E Mart".

is it possible for a simpsons character to develop a skill without meeting the most famous people associated with that skill?

I think they have the guest star in mind before they write an actual script so they can remember what the topic of the future episode will be.

EDIT: Is that supposed to be the Simpsons "Figure" of Homer peeing on a fire?

[Captain Squid]

uh-oh, I sense a dig at Whole Foods coming, complete with a stupid parody name.

Based on the promo art, it's a Trader Joe's parody. Perhaps "Trader Moe's"?

Oh god, and it's probably owned by Moe Syzlack, who you know will spout some unfunny joke about organic food.

[Blobulle]

The promo card looks goods

I downloaded them :





And some images of the 500th episode party...

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

Exit Through sounds enjoyable enough and I like the promo images....that's all.

[Captain Squid]

I do like that they're highlighting Bart's graffiti in a plot. Can't think of another episode that centered around this skill. Graffiti was a catalyst for a few episodes, but not a focus.

Also, nice to see an Apu story not centering around his home life.

[Alex_Of_Darkness]

Thanks for the promo card Blobulle They are great

It's fun to look at them in bigger size.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

And some images of the 500th episode party...

That can't be right. They look happy.

[irvine_11]

That can't be right. They look happy.

They all got Lenny's plastic surgery.

[Alex_Of_Darkness]

[irvine_11]

I'm getting Simpsons Movie vibes from these clips.

[Old painty-can Ned]

I'm getting Simpsons Movie vibes from these clips.

You're right they do look like shit.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

Thumbing those videos down.

[The Governor]

Maybe they really are trying to get us to hate them this time.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

They seriously couldn't have tried this time? Last milestone episode (24 Minutes) was great.

[Alex_Of_Darkness]

They seriously couldn't have tried this time? Last milestone episode (24 Minutes) was great.

You Kent Always Say What You Want is the 400th episodes

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

Whatever

[Financial Panther]

Big difference in quality between those two.

[Jesse Pinkman]

people keep thinking 24 minutes is the 400th episode because of the amount of hype for that episode, as opposed to the hype of Kent Always Say.

anyway i didn't really find anything wrong with either clip. the second one actually made me laugh a little
