The Simpsons bring teabagging to the masses

by Richard Mitchell on May 5th 2009 12:01AM

Gamers who caught The Simpsons over the weekend were likely delighted / disgusted to see Homer and Marge take part in one of gaming's most infamous pastimes, teabagging. Taking things one step further, the teabagging took place in what is clearly Halo, the teabagger's game of choice. We also have to give the creators credit for the mostly accurate Xbox 360. Come on, Team Simpsons, you don't plug controllers into the IR sensor. For shame.

Check out the clip (via Hulu) after the break.

I lol'd.

Why did i stop watching the Simpsons?

I kinda stopped watching regularly just because it seems to have become rather inconsistent over the last few years, although there's always a few gems every seez.

I actually stopped watching Simpsons for a while myself. Rediscovered them a few weeks ago and watched all the episodes I could find on the web. It seems that they have gotten a lot funnier over the past year or so.

Come on Manly, you really didnt figure away around it:

http://hotspotshield.com/

Download this, run it, then open hulu, watch whatever you want, no matter where you live.

@Manly
Look up, Hotspot Shield. It a small program you run in the background that lets you watch sites like hulu from outside of US (eq. Canada :)
It gets a bit annoying with the ads (once every 20 mins or so, it forces you to click on one of the advertisements) but it doesn't interfere with the video. You can also buy the full version of it for a small price (ad-free).

I use hotspot shield and I don't get ads. I haven't bought it either.

After some web browsing, I notice that noscript is blocking anchorfree.net Maybe that's why I'm not getting ads.

FF3.0

@Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC): Hulu isn't the only way of watching The Simpsons.

HAHAHA ITS SO FUNNY! HALO IS MENTIONED!! I CAN RELATE!!!!

Mmmmm, teabags. Argghhh

I think that the box is 360, the controller is more xbox 1, but still a little 360 in there. funky d-pad though

Funky d-pad aside, the controller seems to have a little more in common with the Japanese XBOX controller (with the green jewel in the middle), since the guide button doesn't seem to be raised on the one Marge is holding. You can also see the button just to the left of her thumb, which is only present on the "S" style controllers for the original XBOX.

But yes, it does still appear to be plugged into the IR port of an Elite. :o

@ strike man

yeah you're right that seems pretty close. man I loved the 2nd original xbox controller. 1st one sucked though. I still don't understand how they let that one out of r&d

It's the B button not the X BUTTON! AHH!

i get teabagging but i don't get it. i prefer to put a bullet in a downed opponent's head or celebrate with a dance like in socom. they did a good job with the hud btw

I think it's kinda infuriating, wich is the whole point. I would rather just melee the downed enemy, if anything. But as revenge FOR being teabagged, I understand it.

teabagging is my #1 skill in cod4/WaW. i tend to do it less in killzone 2 though. in killzone, i just shoot them in the head if i'm using a shotgun. they get to see their heads get popped off their shoulders :D

@Ezio: Ah, you were that bozo that teabags people in COD4 only to get blown up by their martyrdom perk.

I have to say that has to be the most satisfying thing ever.

i said it's my skill. i know how to avoid martyrdom :)

*Stops watching The Simpsons

don't be such a fanboy. have you ever tried teabagging in killzone 2? it sucks.

the teabagging i mean. the game itself is awesome.

See scene 16:41

fanboys are idiots.

I hate my cable company! That's all I have to say.

You get teabagged by your cable company? Oh man...

he isn't wearing a headset, so why isn't there 12-year-olds screaming profanity in the background?

arg. canada and hulu do not agree

What happened to The Simpsons?

The series used to be very good... Homer was very funny, naive and innocent... kinda slow, but now he is violent and stupid... gahhh I have so many things to say about The Simpsons, but I will better link to this thread:

Weird that I changed my avatar earlier, then you post that and the same pic is in there a grip of times. Warm fuzzy internet karma to whoever knows which episode it is from without cheating :P

Your avatar is the scene when Homer find the glasses on the toilet... the one with the Casino and the boogeyman.

Did you even watch this episode? It was one of the funniest episodes in a long time.

Gah, damn avatar system. The new one is where he's holding an airhorn and has a giant orange foam cowboy hat on.

Yeah, the avatar/comment system here at Joystiq is kinda sucky, but I do remember Homer with the orange hat... very funny scene.

=p

I think it's whacking day. Is it? It is whacking day isn't it?

Oh God, please say "yes"!

I just need that internet karma so bad :(

You sir, have won internet karma for the day.

"I'm sick of you people, you're just a bunch of fickle mush heads"

"He's right, give us hell Quimby!"

"The sum of the square of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square of the remaining side." -Homer

"That's a right triangle you idiot!" -Random Dude in bathroom

"D'oh!" -Homer

LOL, simpsons are so classic, anyone who thinks otherwise is either too young to appreciate them for their glory days, or too stupid to get clever/funny jokes.

N E V E R stopped watching The Simpsons

yea, gotta love em

ugh. i stopped watching simpsons a LONG time ago. I guess the main reason is im tired of them since they have been around for a long time... South Park rocks btw...just throwing that out there...

Madskeet, all i can say is THIS season of the Simpsons is better than THIS season of South Park. South Park is so hit or miss. They are hilarious some episodes, completely pointless in others.

Im with you Nap, never stopped watching the simpsons. Most people who say it ran out of ideas or isnt funny anymore simply haven't watched any new episodes in years.

Family Guy >>> SouthPark >>>= American Dad >>>> The Simpsons

/flame on

They never ran out of ideas. One of my favorite episodes (many people dislike because it 'ruins the continuity' but w/e, screw them) is on the new season

That 90's Show has to be one of the most original episodes out of the entire series. Well, that might be a little biased being as I'm a product of the 90s myself and these songs were my childhood. The countless references, not to mention the skill shown writing the parody songs, make this episode one of my favorite

http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/the-simpsons-that-90s-show-s19e11/8808200

I can has as Rock Band DLC plz?

Hmm, guess I'm the only one who didn't down vote you. But, yeah, the last good season of The Simpsons was season 6 - 4 and 5 were still the best. If you don't believe me, go watch any of the shows from 5 - far wittier than anything they've done in the past 10 years. Heck, it's far wittier than most shows ever are.

And, yeah, South Park is the only thing I watch anymore. Family Guy and American Dad are just stupid - at least when South Park makes political points, they're not pushing a general party line (they pretty much make fun of everyone equally) and they actually make good, valid points.

FUTURAMA>>>>Family Guy >>> SouthPark >>>= American Dad >>>> The Simpsons

There I fixed it

I'm glad i never played halo online so i wouldn't encounter this altough i played diablo 2 wich has worst stuff than this.
Ah yeah the simspsons are good as long as you stick to the old seasons (my guess would be before season 8 or 9)

Wait, wait, wait. Diablo 2 had worse than teabagging? I don't remember that.

Yep, when you pvp in D2 and get killed, you loose all your gear so you have to return to where you died to pick up your body. This allows the other person "dick" to kill you with they're full gear while you are completely naked. The only way to get your gear back is to re-enter the game which is pretty humiliating I guess.

So you don't know that our country has been overtaken by a Hitler like Socialist and every country needs to secede from the union by teabagging?
