Design #65: She She Lounge

Posted on by Standard Reply

In season 7 episode 1 called “Fear of Flying” we see Homer get banned from Moe’s Tavern. In a quest to find a new watering hole, he ends up drinking in an airport bar and being mistaken for a pilot. From there he damages an airplane which somehow results in his family getting a free trip. We then find out Marge has a deep fear of flying. This episode is from the golden age of the shown, so there are many hilarious great quotes. But anyways, while Homer is seeking a new drinking establishment, he finds himself visiting a lesbian bar called the She She Lounge. So naturally I thought this would be a simply yet great design, especially on a pillow.

Design #64: New Bedlam Rest Home for the Emotionally Interesting

Posted on by Standard Reply

In season 7 episode 8 called “Mother Simpson” the power plant employees are spending their Saturday picking up garbage, as some sort of community service I presume. Homer decides to get out of it by faking his death. Eventually he goes to straighten things out and has his long lost mother walk back into his life. However, she has a shady past that forces her to flee Homer’s life yet again. During the beginning where the employee are picking up garbage, one can be seen picking up a straight jacket with “New Bedlam Asylum” on it. This also happens to be where Homer is sent when he wears a pink shirt to work in a different episode that absolutely exists.

Design #63: Frankie says relax

Posted on by Standard Reply

This one comes from episode 16 of season 12 called “Bye, Bye, Nerdie”. Arguably this is after the golden age of the show so it’s not entirely a fan favourite. The story line goes that Lisa gets picked on by a new kid at school, and through investigation finds out the new kid picks on nerds due to their smell. She develops a spray that masks this smell and helps out all of nerdkind. At one point a kid on the busy ironically comments on the new kids appearance saying she’ll never fit in. This kid is wearing a Frankie says relax shirt, which was a thing in the 80s from the song.

Design #62: My kid, my facts

Posted on by Standard Reply

This design comes from season 34 episode 16 called “Hostile Kirk Place”. As it’s a fairly new episode and I’m not all that caught up these days I can’t really describe the episode, I just noted this shirt down to make as a design. Given Kirk’s character, I can only assume that the school is teaching something he doesn’t agree with protests against it as some jab at right wingers or the anti vax crowd.

Design #60: Buy blue pants

Posted on by Standard Reply

This design comes episode 17 episode 12 called “My Fair Laddy” where Lisa attempts to make Groundskeeper Willie a proper gentlemen for the school science fair. The side plot is Homer ruining his favourite blue pants and helping the manufacturer raise sales. He does this buy putting some “superliminal” advertising on the back of his head. I don’t recommend doing this so I made a design you can wear to advertise them.

Design #58: Springfield University

Although the Springfield University logo appears in a few episodes, it caught my eye in “Faith Off” which is episode 11 from season 11. Overall it’s not a highly memorable episode, Bart becomes a faith healer and there’s a college football game of some sorts. But I did always find the idea of an ice pick with a laser sight for accuracy somewhat hilarious.

Design #54: Martin’s Wang Computers shirt

Posted on by Standard Reply

This shirt comes from season 5 episode 5 “Treehouse of Horror IV” specifically the short “Terror at 5 and a half feet”. The Treehouse of Horror episodes have always been among my favourite episodes as they spoofed some great classic tales and gave the writers some creative freedom as the shorts are not canon to the Simpsons universe. This specific short mimics The Twilight Zone’s “Nightmare at 20,000 feet” which was originally released back in 1963 and starred William Shatner. Interestingly enough, the Twilight Zone episode is based on a short story written in 1961. But anyways before I go too far down that rabbit hole, in the episode Martin is shown wearing a “Wang Computers” shirt. As hilarious as that company name is, it was an actual electronics company founded in 1951. It attempted to compete with IBM, essentially lost, and was absorbed by a Dutch company in the 90s. But again, that’s not a rabbit hole I’ll go any further down for now.
