[Music]
dad let’s kill it before we begin we

videos for this list we’re looking at
mind-blowing theories that question
everything we know about Matt Groening
‘he’s most beloved series well it would
be cool if they’ve been proven to be
true their entertainment value will be
given priority dad wait you haven’t
heard my story you are too dumb to tell
a story no seriously you’re great let’s
hear it she’s number 10 Bart created the
Simpsons lines around but and I’m done
conjured up by reddit user just
embarrassing this theory prophesized
that Bart will grow up to be Matt
graining considering the show’s creator
based The Simpsons on his own family
going as far as to use their names it
makes sense that Bart would be partially
[Music]
the redditor points out that the
prankster has already proven to be a
capable writer and comedian ghost
winning an award for an itchy and
scratchy episode and crafting an Academy
Award winning angry dad short like
raining Bart’s family tends to serve as
inspiration for his creative work and
the winner is itchy and scratchy Abraham
Simpson dress number 9 Homer is still
[Music]
maybe not the sexiest theory but it
still makes a whole lot of sense
redditor somewhere cheap speculates that
despite working as an underpaid nuclear
safety inspector
Homer still lives in relative luxury and
can afford to travel the world with his
family as part of the grammy-winning
barbershop quartet Homer has probably
earned a decent chunk of change via
royalties however when it comes to the
rest of the B sharps Barney would have
drunk any money away up whose eight
children forced him into a life of
modesty and Skinner seems to be better
off than his school board income should
allow is that reputation justified yes
yes it is number eight marge schott mr.
season six ends with mr. burns getting
shot by a mysterious attacker who in the
season 7 opener was revealed to be none
since then many have speculated on
whether the baby was the true culprit
with one Reddit user pinning the crime
on Marge as a devoted mother who loves
Springfield Marge definitely had the
motive to hate mr. burns during the
episode Marge gets a job the villainous
burns falls in love with Marge
explaining why he would not single her
out and yes we know Homer
unceremoniously claimed to have been the
culprit in season 18 but Marge as the
shooter is still an interesting theory
to entertain fringe and if I get caught
pinning it on the baby like the time I
shot mr. burns number seven
time-traveling Abe for this theory
drafted by redditor dataforge we need to
take the treehouse of horror episodes as
canon but otherwise stuff checks out in
the segment time and punishment Homer
creates a quick time machine and messes
with the time continuum resulting in a
few crazy alterations with things
continuously getting worse
Homer remember some advice from his
father and settles for a timeline that’s
close enough to the original step on
anything because even the tiniest change
can alter the future in ways you can’t
imagine this might suggest that Abe is
an experienced time traveler partially
explaining why his recollection of
history is all over the place
mind you it is more plausible that Abe
is actually just senile one day JD
rockefeller flying by are you going
number 6
Homer knows he’s a cartoon stop that
you’ll never silence me I’m the last
angry man Patterson a handful of
theorists focus their energy on
justifying the later seasons of The
Simpsons especially when it comes to
homers increasingly destructive
personality raised of Davey’s theory
harkens back to the classic season 4
episode Homer The Heretic which
concludes with Homer dreaming of God and
learning the meaning of life what’s the
meaning of life Homer I can’t
but the redditor believes that God told
Homer he’s a cartoon explaining why the
once lovable doofus turned into a
mean-spirited jackass who acts only in
his best interest if nothing is real
then consequences are a thing of the
number 5 Nelson Muntz is biological
father Bart
you are a bad friend there is more than
one horse in this race the identity of
Nelson’s biological father has always
inspired many a discussion with some
speculating the Barney’s his real daddy
putting aside that Bart once found mr.
months at a circus a theory by brownie
James suggests that Nelson’s real father
is snake jailbird pointing towards their
similar physical appearance Oh goodbye
student loan payments focusing on their
personalities snake and Nelson are both
sensitive bullies with a complete
disregard for authority for those who
prefer their theories with a dose of
sci-fi Fire Robin eighty-eight suggests
that Nelson and Barney are actually the
same person due to his bullying
professor Frank to interfere with the
number four The Simpsons are actually
geniuses I just underwent a procedure to
increase my IQ 50 points really after
decades on the air nobody involved with
The Simpsons can be called stupid Lisa
is the only member of the family praised
for her intelligence a distinction that
might not be accurate with regards to
the dumbest of the bunch kirby clocks
theory points toward season 12s
revelation that Homer is only stupid due
to a crayon lodged in his head meanwhile
Marge has excelled in nearly every
profession she’s tried while Bart is
creative and capable of picking up a
foreign language at the drop of a hat
[Music]
with the exception of Lisa the rest of
the family seems to have chosen ignorant
over brains hey Marty I mean number
Springfield is generally not the safest
place but that goes double for Hans
Moleman whenever the unlucky Ralph
Miller shows up fans know that homer is
about to unintentionally deliver a world
of hurt
most of Homer’s antics should be fatal
but the Mole Man always comes back for
more
is this just Tom and Jerry logic or is
there something else going on Aaron
three theorizes that there are multiple
mole men running around and Homer is
constantly killing a different one this
is borderline confirmed in the season 11
episode
hello gutter hello fodder there is no
escape from the fortress of the moles
except their number two springfield
exists out of time and space the
springfield effect is among the more
popular and detailed reddit theories out
there
Springfield seems to be stuck in a time
loop since none of the residents have
aged despite the years clearly passing
by in the rest of the world the size of
the town fluctuates depending on the
situation with buildings moving around
to better fit the narrative the theory
suggests that Springfield exists outside
of time and space with the characters
being unable to notice any anomalies in
their lives well it makes sense is any
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions Pablo
Neruda said laughter is the language of
the soul I am familiar with the works of
Pablo Neruda they don’t tell me where
they go it’s like a conspiracy a
conspiracy a you think they might be
involved in the Kennedy assassination in
some way I do know we must have a
guardian angel with a rightful number
one Homer is in a coma this world was
never meant for one as beautiful as you
this one almost makes too much sense the
redditor called hard to pick a name
believes that homer never woke up from
his coma during season 4s clip show six
months earlier God revealed to Homer
that his time was nearly up coinciding
neatly with the later coma don’t feel
bad Homer 9 out of 10 religions fail in
their first year to be fair the episode
does end with Homer suddenly snapping
back to reality but this could be waved
away as a dream
the theory explains why nobody ever ages
and why subsequent episodes can be
rather insane really any theory that
discredits the principal and the popper
deserves the benefit of the doubt I’m an
impostor that man is the real Seymour
Skinner do you agree with our picks
