Ooh, I saw this the other day. We were watching it frame-by-frame to see if we recognised any locations, because it's clearly British.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 19:35 (twenty years ago)

Wow. That's impressive.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 19:42 (twenty years ago)

Except Homer is in a left hand drive car with a foreign number plate, while Marge is in a British one.

But it is good. I even saw Bleeding Gums Murphy on the street, so they've really paid attention to detail.

It was filmed in Bromley.

― Øystein (Øystein), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 21:16 (twenty years ago)

Yes, that is remarkable. What struck me most as like on TV: the conductor of the school orchestra.

two people have sent me a link to that but i've only just watched it. it is fucking brilliant. wow. i love the fact "homer" drives a lada.

Heh, yes, that was what I laughed the most at too.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 22:26 (twenty years ago)

i saw this the other day too, it's absolutely wonderful.

I did like how they handled the 'skateboard on car' deal.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 23:24 (twenty years ago)

I loved this too - very clever indeed!

Me and Nick both had the same thought though: for the love of christ, no one better EVER think about making a live-action Simpsons movie a la the Flinstones. Or I will get Kill Bill on all their asses.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 23:38 (twenty years ago)

Very good move of them NOT to try to make everything the exact same - most notably in how the people look.

― Øystein (Øystein), Thursday, 9 March 2006 04:16 (twenty years ago)

Aye, I at first wondered if they'd be yellow and pointy-haired but no, they looked like regular folk, it was very well done.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 9 March 2006 04:40 (twenty years ago)

i liked how they look like normal people, but that look on marge's face in the car when she and maggie honk the horns together was PERFECT!

― tehresa (tehresa), Thursday, 9 March 2006 04:45 (twenty years ago)

apparently it was a total nightmare to cast

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 9 March 2006 04:48 (twenty years ago)

Clever

It's great, but do we think that Lisa Simpson is played by an eight year old Anna?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 11 March 2006 10:37 (twenty years ago)

Just saw this running on Sky TV. It's an advert, and "Come Home To The Simpsons" pops up on the screen at the end.

― Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 17:32 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I saw it on telly last night. It's brilliant, isn't it, possibly my favourite advert since the Honda one with the car being put together.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 18:17 (twenty years ago)

I liked Homer's buttcrack as he was running into the house through the garage. Is that a part of the cartoon opening sequence too and I've just never noticed it?

― Rebekkah (burntbrat), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 18:59 (twenty years ago)

I don't know if it's in the original, but it was a great little touch.

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 19:09 (twenty years ago)

The creepy twin girls are pretty sweet too.

― Abbott (Abbott), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 20:05 (twenty years ago)

I just saw it again on the telly, I totally didn't notice "Homer"'s crack before I read this thread, but I'm not ever going to not notice it now. And yes, the twins are brilliant.

"Lisa" = little Anna, definitely.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 20:11 (twenty years ago)

I was just about to post that I was very impressed with this video until I saw Homer's buttcrack; now I just want everyone on Earth dead.

Didn’t they all die from ink poisoning not long after the pic was taken?

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 12:29 (twenty years ago)

no, but the little girl gave birth to a freakishly jaundiced baby

― latebloomer: band to the planet mars (latebloomer), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 14:05 (twenty years ago)

i'm dissappointed that only two have googly eyes. and why no token babydoll maggie?

Here's where they live:

That doesn't look like Duff beer.

They took it off the market after legal action. My friend has a can, and one day, I'm going to drink it.

So it's finally happening....
