Steve Jobs is likely set to unleash the hounds on Fox’s The Simpsons TV show, after they thoroughly lampooned the iPhone and all things Apple on last night’s episode. Check out both videos after the break. (Via Gizmodo)

December 1st, 2008 at 12:30 pm

@ernie lol well that appropriate since the a-hole is where blackberries come from ;]
December 1st, 2008 at 1:04 pm
That’s f’ing awesome! I’m sure Jobs laughed his *** off!
December 1st, 2008 at 1:12 pm
I’m an idiot for buying an amazing product?
That’s weird
December 1st, 2008 at 1:22 pm
glorious. and here i was thinking that simpsons had failed. lol awesome work by the writers

Wow that was really funny and true at the same time. As much as Apple would prefer to deny it, they do sometimes act like they are superior to other manufacturers. Still, I believe Apple is a great company and will continue to purchase their products as long as they continue to build quality hardware and pump out quality software.

definitely one of the funniest Simpsons episodes in a while. The parody was sheer genius and it got me thinking that maybe even jobs had a part/welcomed the idea because the length of the parody definitely confirms the power of Apple and their products. Not to mention that an Apple ad was in between every commercial break. Great episode

You’d have to be an Apple consumer and Apple fan to have written those bits. The Microsoft crowd just isn’t that clever or creative.
December 1st, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Glad I watched and even more glad that there is video of it for all the replay glory.
December 1st, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Perfect! There’s even a 1984 Orwellian Introducing Macintosh ad reference in it.
December 1st, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Love it!! I bet Steve Jobs lives on a cloud!
December 1st, 2008 at 3:33 pm
I enjoyed it.
December 1st, 2008 at 4:03 pm
That was priceless! The only thing bad about it was that there was no Surgeon General’s warning to wear Depends before viewing because you’re going to wet yourself if you watch it. They pretty much nailed the Apple culture, product successes (iPod, iPhone, Mac, ads, SteveNotes, store) and failures (cube, initial iPhone bills – an AT&T failure, product cost and some over-the-top fans). How long before Apple uses parts of it in a new ad?

Apple should hire them to do a Simpson’s-style commercial with PC Guy vs. Mac Guy… like they did with the Christmas stop-motion characters a couple of years ago.
December 1st, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Veryyy funny episode
December 1st, 2008 at 7:08 pm
2 thumbs up. That was frickin’ hilarious. I agree with Steve that there’s got to be at least one iPhone/Apple user among the SIMPSONS writers…
December 1st, 2008 at 7:33 pm
My iPhone makes me feel better than everyone else. I guess this episode couldn’t be more right.
December 1st, 2008 at 10:46 pm

December 3rd, 2008 at 4:32 pm
A great resource that I have found out on net. I love it!
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:37 pm
video no longer available? what’s up with that?

I’ve been reading about the issue with the simpsons and ‘bart’ promoting scientology. Was checking to see if anyone else had any comments on the ‘issue’. I don’t much like it myself, but also do not care to judge.
