I was impressed that the Simpsons Death Note parody used some of these names. That's a super obscure reference!

Simpsons Death Note parody

It's this season, #34, episode 6. If not Disney+, it's probably on Hulu. There's also an excellent Westworld parody that same episode that makes it easily the best Simpsons episode made in a very long time.

If you don't have Hulu, you can find it on himovies.

Newer Simpsons has actually been really good. Poorhouse Rock was a shockingly good episode about how lucky Homer was economically and how fucked Bart is nowadays.

Didn't they do their Westworld parody in season 5 with "The Boy Who Knew Too Much"?

_danny 5 points 3 years ago

What I've found helps me is picking three or four character traits I'm going to roleplay and run them through a translator twice (ex. English -> Hawaiian-> Czech turns 'tenacious' into vΔ›rnost. Then I'd judge how badly I'd pronounce it and English-ify it a little to Verno or Varnost)

It helps to pick languages that have a few language barriers between where they originated. Like English -> German doesn't work because they share a common root language and half of German speaks English as a second language now.

I use a variation of this to write music rounds for quizzes. Run lyrics through a translator then back to English and get people to name the song. My last round was called Korea Change (i.e I translated it to Korean and back).

At least some of these names have to be knockoffs of actual athletes, right? For example, he’s no β€œSleve McDichael”, but Steve McMichael was a player for the Greenbay Packers football team when this game came out.

Shown Furcotte taking it up the ice.

He passes to McSriff.

Oh, a big hit by Bobson Dugnutt! He collects the puck and sends it on to Dandleton.

Dandleton now with the puck. Across to Sweeney - But it's picked off by Smorin!

He finds Noginly on the breakaway! Noginly - He Scores!

Noginly hits the brakes at the last second to slip it past the bumper of goaltender Mike Truk!
And the Jonsonbill Nailers take a 2-1 lead, with 3 minutes remaining in the second period.
