@treehousedetective: The real reason why the Simpsons are yellow #film #television #animation #thesimpsons #filmtok

bigbabysinister :

Tracey Ullman hasnt stopped talking about that whole “started on my show” thing for like 30 years 💀💀💀

Lewis Park :

If that’s the case, why are the black people on the show depicted as black.

karai_ebi :

His name is pronounced graining???

Bootboot27 :

He is yellow for an amazing reason 💛

RomeydaHomey :

I’ve never heard Matt Groening’s name said out loud before. Turns out I’ve been pronouncing it wrong inside my brain for 37 years.

Dustin :

The day The Simpsons premiered as their own show was the day I was born. I am Bart.

Josh :

The Epstein files ruined The Simpsons forever

Gurgodargen :

Dude. You are like the FIRST person outside like... Simpsons commentary tracks actually pronounce Matt Groening's name right lol

Richard G :

Is that really how you say groening? Is it really a silent O? I’m hoping my whole life isn’t a lie

Gabe :

You mean to tell me it’s Graining not Growning??? 🤯

~ :

Interesting, I think one huge reason I’ve never felt any desire to watch The Simpson is specifically because of the yellow skin.

George Bouza :

I remember watching this on the Tracy Ullman show as a teen. By college, almost every dorm room had their tv on to watch Sunday nights. I had a college radio show and as I rushed to my dorm I’d hear the theme playing from numerous windows as I passed them. Gen X was obsessed with that show.

Jeff Wolfe549 :

Not only the most successful animated TV series, but also the longest running sitcom period.

sunny :

binky and frank (from donnie darko) look too similar, i cannot find any direct connections, but it feels similar.

Chris :

That is amazing 😳

PipeCreatures :

I recall a Nickelodeon Magazine article with Greoning where he simply said "I wanted the Simpsons to look like nothing else on television."

Sawyer Dadsmete :

I forced myself to stay up late for Tracey Ullman just for the Simpsons and became a fan of both.

Marcy :

well that explains trump

Mapachiiin :

Glenn Pie :

I never watched them

Japanjohn :

is this why SpongeBob and the Minions are yellow?

wren :

He’s in the files

Echo&Pan🇨🇦 :

There’s people out there married with children in highschool that don’t know a world without the simpsons.

Ogbroham :

I’m old and just found out it’s pronounced Matt “grain-ing”
