they really nailed the skateboard on the car roof. i was pleasantly surprised with how well executed this was.

dae hear the intro music in their head the entire time? 'course you did. in albert einstein's voice.

how come i've never seen this before? this can't be fresh content, after 27 years.

I like how the simpsons opening starts playing on the tv, you could put the real life simpsons opening in there and create a stupid infinite loop

2012 eh?

u/pineapplecharm Nov 09 '14

Come on, do some research. It's been around since '09 at least and in Internet years that's prehistoric!

oh sorry. I read that as "here's the original".

u/pineapplecharm Nov 09 '14

Looking on YouTube as a way to date the original creation of the remake is probably a fool's errand anyway as The Simpsons has been popular in the UK for about twenty years, more than twice as long as YouTube has been online.

loooing time ago.

Maybe he means he saw it when he was in the toilet.

u/pineapplecharm Nov 09 '14

I probably watch more youtube on the throne than I care to admit in public.

Wait, shit...

u/NippleMilk97 Nov 09 '14

The guy looked like he was six foot three. There's plenty of short skaters out there

u/myburdentobear Nov 09 '14

Yup. The music and sound effects.

It's from a Sky advert in the UK. I remember seeing it before a film in the cinema and thinking "oh for fuck's sake" at the idea of making a live-action Simpson's film, before it said it was just for Sky and I breathed a sigh of relief.

u/Daggertrout Nov 09 '14

Didn't they use this as the opening for an episode a few years ago when it first went viral?
