Here’s the clip: https://gizmodo.com/get-your-directions-from-an-old-washed-up-character-fr-5057116 [TomTom via ElectricPig]

Ugly Americans Offers Jokes, Weird Rationalizations

Comedy Central has ordered a new cartoon from a former Simpsons writer, set in a world where humans, aliens and robots co-exist and work schlubby jobs. Apparently, it’s not called Futurama.

Homer Simpson Meets Roger Corman!

Do you remember that episode of the Simpsons where Homer gets covered with seaweed and toxic waste, and everybody mistakes him for a sea monster? Me neither.
