with over 600 episodes and Counting it’s
sometimes hard to notice the little
things
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
amazing small details you may never have
noticed in the Simpsons if Tom Landry’s
hat doesn’t motivate you then I should
just quit right now before we begin we
publish new content every day so be sure
to subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we’re looking at
the best Easter eggs hidden background
details and interesting facts hidden
within America’s hid dysfunctional
family do you want to read it sir
why I did saw the best part number 10
Matt Groening initials we start off nice
and simple by looking at character
design most fans know that the Simpson
family designs were no accident the
bright yellow was chosen on purpose
so that it would catch viewers eyes
while they flipped through channels and
their weird hair styles were implemented
so that the characters would be
recognizable as silhouettes however many
may not have realized the creator Matt
Groening has forever left his artists
mark directly on homers face that’s
because his initials are formed by the M
and homers hair and the G on his ear
number 9 extended retractions The
Simpsons loves to make use of scrolling
jokes lists that come and go in the
blink of an eye for example the one
where anchor Kent Brockman ostensibly
outs closeted celebrities which really
lists Simpsons creators names the
following people are gay but perhaps the
cleverest instance is in the episode
where Homer finds himself the victim of
an exploitative new cycle over a
misunderstanding after admitting their
mistake hard-hitting news show rock
bottom publishes a number of retractions
rock bottom would like to make the
following corrections
it’s insane the amount of jokes they can
fit into three seconds including
everyone on TV is better than you and if
you are reading this you have no life
yeah a DVR or DVD is required for this
one number eight somewhat secret cameos
the show’s writers also love injecting
their own little in jokes that only pay
off for observant longtime or repeat
viewers in the itchy and scratchy the
movie episode for instance Lisa is
waxing rhapsodic over how amazing the
duo’s animated movie is she says she’s
surprised by its cameos from stars like
Michael Jackson and Dustin Hoffman but
that they didn’t use their real names
funnily enough the two previous seasons
of The Simpsons actually did include
episodes with guest starring roles by
both these Superstars and both were
uncredited at the time you seem to be of
the Jewish faith are you sure I’m Jewish
all right Callie I’m Jewish has Lisa
said about itchy and scratchy you could
tell it was them it’s true I’m with your
father in a mental institution
Oh his Elvis with you it could be it’s a
big Hospital number seven
Hans mole man’s age speaking of being
rewarded for repeat viewing it seems
like nobody caught this joke at first
which took three episodes to set up
drinking has ruined my life
I’m 31 years old
in the episode dulles old timer Hans
Moleman the butt of a ridiculous number
of jokes speaks up about how alcohol has
ruined his life
by declaring he’s only 31 years old this
is of course played for Laughs because
it obviously cannot be true however
keen-eyed fans notice a close-up of his
driver’s license in a previous episode
which lists his birth year as 1961 now
maybe that was a DMV mistake but
considering these episodes aired in 1993
the math does add up did I do wrong
number 6 fair Moz Last Theorem and
speaking of math fair Moz Last Theorem
is a 17th century problem that befuddled
mathematicians who struggled for
centuries to solve it you may ask
yourself why am I getting a math lesson
I’m here for the Simpsons well that’s
because great a buffoon Homer Simpson
almost solved the hallowed enigma which
was actually finally figured out by a
mathematician
in the 90s in the classic episode The
Wizard of Evergreen Terrace
Homer struggles to invent something in
order to leave his mark on the world and
it’s hilarious to see homers random
scribbles on his chalkboard are actually
almost but not quite the solution to a
mysterious mathematical riddle number
five Tom Landry’s hat we all love a good
recurring joke and The Simpsons has the
most subtle ones of all nobody expected
the late great NFL coach Tom Landry to
be immortalized on the hit show by way
of his iconic fedora first Tom Landry
himself has a short cameo in season
seven a season later homer finds and
purchases Tom Landry’s hat alright team
it’s the fourth quarter the Lord gave us
the Addams and it’s up to us to make up
dance since then the famous piece of
memorabilia has shown up on the heads of
the Simpsons clan in various sports
themed episodes even Marge puts it on
when she was coaching a fantasy football
league number four iconic photography
The Simpsons is an iconic show having
become a part of pop culture as much as
it parodies and pays homage to it with
innumerable film TV and music references
in the show but for most people some of
the program’s sutta limitations or
recreations of famous pictures and
moments in history can be quite elusive
to catch for example The Simpsons clan
fleeing Australia is lifted from the
famous Vietnam War fall of Saigon photos
while Lisa being sworn in as Miss
Springfield is inspired by the swearing
in of Lyndon Johnson after the JFK
assassination and let’s not forget
grandpa Simpson being grumpy at
Woodstock
number three a 113 animation fans will
probably already recognize this little
Easter Egg as it appears in countless
movies including many Disney Pixar
properties this is a favorite of many
animators to hide in their work as it’s
a reference to a classroom at the
California Institute of Arts some
Simpsons artists got their start there
and they choose to sprinkle these
references in the show’s backgrounds
therefore you can see a 1:13 show up in
an assortment of odd places including
license plates mug shots and prison IDs
we’re almost certain that some of these
have not even been noticed yet get
looking number two 847 dollars and 63
cents in the most notable blink and
you’ll miss it moment from the show
Maggie famously passes through the
scanner at lightning speed in the
opening credits making it almost
impossible to see what she rang up as in
the season 7 behind-the-scenes episode
they even poked fun at those fans who
were trying to decipher the code
claiming the hidden message says NRA
forever just one of the hundreds of
radical right-wing messages inserted
into every show by creator Matt Groening
the truth however is that Maggie rings
up as 847 dollars and 63 cents
apparently the reason for the number is
that it was the expected monthly cost of
raising a baby around the time the show
premiered before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions got any of that bearded has
candy floating in it you know skittle
bro my son went down to earth once I
don’t know what you people did to him
number one the McBain movie Austrians
super hunk Rainier Wolf Castle would
later become a regular character on The
Simpsons but when he first showed up in
season 2 he was just action superstar
[Music]
that makes two of us similar to itchy
and scratchy
the writers use these clips to poke fun
at pop culture and testosterone-fueled
action movies showing us random
over-the-top and violent clips from
but how a random were they what fans
realized many years later is that if you
string all these clips together spread
out through the show’s first few seasons
you actually get a complete and coherent
