The Simpsons’ Latest Episode Spoofs Video Games


When a show’s been around as long as The Simpsons, it’ll periodically touch on the cultural ripple effect generated by the video games industry. Last night’s episode of the long-running cartoon, “The Food Wife”, took Homer and art to a fictionalised version of video games’ biggest trade show, with pitch-perfect parodies of some familiar franchises.

One really dead-on bit has a developer lamenting the months he’s lost on a game that Bart manages to finish in a few minutes. A GameTrailers interview about the episode with Simpsons writer Matt Selman appears above and you can head over to the Simpsons official site to watch clips from the episode.
