How This Became The DARKEST Simpsons Intro Ever

In this episode of The Simpsons Theory, I examine perhaps the darkest Simpsons intro opening every storyboarded by graffiti artist, Banksy.
Al Jean, Simpsons showrunner and producer, reached out to Banksy to storyboard a couch-gag for the show, and the result was 1 minute and 43 seconds of pure introspective horror - which was greenlit by series creator, Matt Groening. It was a project that was as controversial off-screen as it was on-screen. There were censor issues, dramatic changes and staff-protests.
So let's get into it.

I feel like as a parody, it's so far removed from reality that it's toothless. Like most of Banksy's work, it's subversive, but not in a way that's actually going to upset anyone. Least of all the people who might actually need to hear the message. He's the court jester of the art world. He allows rich people to pretend they're right-on and self-aware, but will never actually make them uncomfortable. Basically, if he was any good as a satirist, major media corporations wouldn't be hiring him to make jokes about them.

@Peppermint0M 2 дня назад

Sir, you are indeed erudite. I was just going to go with "Banksy is pretty rubbish as far as satire and art goes". However this puts it in a much more articulated manner.

To be honest with the bit about AKOM, they were probably worthy of said target. There has been stories for years about how bad their output got in the wake of The Simpsons, with one of my favorites being that one of their segments for Animaniacs was planned for season one but kept getting screwed up over and over that it got pushed off until the tail end of the show because they wouldn't stop sourcing from The Simpsons to the point where Yakko, Wakko and Dot started having Krusty's mouth.

@@GeteMachineI'm pretty sure anyone who goes into art is at least initially passionate about it. South Korean animators are probably making equal or better salaries than Disneyland/Disneyworld cast members. Actually comparing salaries to purchasing power between the Seoul, LA, and Orlando staff is something id have to do before comparing salaries though. Disneyland cast members probably get the shortest end of the stick though considering how expensive California can be. Seoul is also pretty expensive too though, so their purchasing power can't be much better. Anihieme>Seoul>Orlando would be my purchasing power guess.

AKOM worked on the original Transformers show, too. And honestly the AKOM animated episodes were quite shoddily animated...they kept giving Optimus a white back when it's meant to be red. Also, seeing Hasbro mentioned at 9:08...no wonder Transformers figures get leaked way before they're officially shown, what with factory workers possibly stealing samples to illegally sell to people.

@KasumiKenshirou День назад

"...they kept giving Optimus a white back when it's meant to be red." You're really underselling how terrible the AKOM animated episodes were. They didn't just merely miscolor things. Every possible animation mistake you could make, they made. They made "Five Faces of Darkness" an incomprehensible mess, and their other episodes (at least half of season 3) weren't much better.

I think Banksy is Neil Buchanan who used to present Art Attack. He insists he's not but I don't believe him. I remember you saying that time travel stories are your favourites on Family Guy and that reminds me of this film that I think you'd like called "12:01". It's about a man who gets trapped in a time loop, but he's the only person who's aware that the loop has happened because he was electrocuted at 12:01 AM while trying to fix his bedroom light. He spends the film attempting to break the loop and prevent the murder of a beautiful woman (Helen Slater who played Supergirl back in the 80s and starred as the title character alongside Yeardley Smith in my favourite film ever, The Legend Of Billie Jean; I think you'd love that film so I recommend that too) who he has fallen in love with. 12:01 is available on RU-vid. The Legend Of Billie Jean is not, but it is available on DVD and is relatively cheap. I think you'd love both.

@TheSimpsonsTheory 2 дня назад

I used to love Art Attack haha, I think you're onto something there. Thanks for the rec, I'll try to give it a watch soon, although writing the love life of Stewie Griffin is taking up all my free time at the moment. Hoping to have it up on Patreon early this upcoming week :)

@Horsley-Green 2 дня назад

You'll love both 12:01 and The Legend Of Billie Jean. Billie Jean is my favourite of the two so I suggest you watch that one first. I'm assuming that you have a DVD or Blu Ray player already. Looking forward to the Stewie video too, I'm reminded of him at Mr Weed's funeral looking at all the babies he'd rock the casbah with! I think everyone loved Art Attack, I still watch it now sometimes. I never actually tried to recreate anything though, it was probably much more complicated than Neil made it look so I never bothered. Though I'm sure everyone at least once thought about making a massive mess and claiming that it was a Big Art Attack. The only thing is that somehow I don't think your parents would be exactly thrilled. I remember mentioning the show to my friend at college, he's a year older than me but he doesn't remember it and I was horrified. Of course Neil would deny being Banksy though, he'd be absolutely mobbed by the papers.

It may not be the simpsons animators working conditions, but it represents (exaggerated for comedic effect) the conditions of making fast fashion, and other forms of merchandise. Even if it doesn't represent how 20th Century Fox manages every aspect of the brand, it points to bigger issues in outsourcing and capitalism, and I really really love that the show has made such a tradition out of letting artists art.

@MattanzaMafiaFedora 2 дня назад

@GeteMachine День назад

To be honest, I like it because I felt like the satire of society in the actual Simpsons has gotten a bit weak over the years due to how whimsical and over the top things had gotten after the end of the 2000s era for it. More so now its current direction with more fantasy incorporated or pop-culture parody plots, that it just isn't really saying anything anymore. Its just a show now. Not unlike Adventure Time. I think people just expect the Simpsons to be like the current shows of today, so it could be why the Banksy intro seems off-putting in contrast. Though I think the Banksy intro fits more with older Simpsons, when it had jokes about the lack of oversight Mr. Burns had on the nuclear plant. The Simpsons used to satirize this stuff, but if it does happen its just hyperbolic and surface level, "Disney bad" but not saying as to why anymore. So I can knock the effort.

@DeadEye42069 День назад

No one likes your comment? You're just straight up correct, don't understand because the older simpsons are available on Disney and everyone's acting like we're watching spongebob. Power puff girls is more disturbing. Imagine the creator, putting himself in the show, voicing this character, then making the main UNDER AGE girl fall in love with his character. This is WAY WORSE than some south korean being proud about cheap labor 🤷‍♂️

@ArnLPs День назад

I get the workers perspective here, but as an artpiece critique I still think the Banksy intro is valid. It of course is over exaggerating. This is a cartoon, and as shown in the later clip the Simpsons themselves often over exaggerated like this.

@mightyfilm День назад

I'll be honest here. It took me forever to find out this wasn't done by the Simpsons' usual staff. Replace all the imagery of the Simpson family and replace it with a certain Klown, and it could have been a standard gag in any episode of the series. Didn't they show a Chinese sweatshop with Krustified propaganda making the Kids' Meal toys which lead to Bart getting a virus and ending up in a plastic bubble? This is distinctly Simpsons humor, especially the over the top unicorn horn punching DVD holes bit. The show didn't just bite the hand that fed them, they chewed the arm off to the shoulder. Bart once confided to a therapist that he had a dream his success was responsible for a certain propaganda cable network. And it's clear that these guys were supposed to be Chinese. As in Chinese sweatshop that makes merchandise you greedy consumers are forced to buy. Seriously, this thing is so over the top, you get the feeling they're satirizing satire. I'm more shocked this was made by someone on the inside.
