10 SECRETS You Didn't Know About THE SIMPSONS

[Music] The Simpsons will celebrate its 30-year anniversary in 2017 having first premiered as a series of short films on The Tracey Ullman Show back in April 1987 and if that fact shocked you then we got plenty more where that came from because did you know that Krusty the Klown was real that the show genuinely contains incest and that Homer Simpson's email address was once stolen by a Turkish hacker group well you do now so let's find out more in our list of 10 things you didn't know about The Simpsons [Music] at number 10 the hillbilly kids names Cletus and brandine Spuckler are Springfield's resident white-trash couple or should that be yellow trash either way these two are pretty stereotypical in their depiction of rednecks and you may be surprised to know just how far the writers have taken this joke exactly how far becomes obvious when you hear the names of some of their children which genuinely include the likes of incest crystal meth WrestleMania gummy sue normal had Joe stabbed in jail International Harvester W and Gitmo however the sparklers don't have a monopoly on weird names for it is revealed that Milhouse Van Houten's middle name is Mussolini number nine where are Troy and Lionel two of the best characters from the early seasons of The Simpsons were dr. Lionel Hutz and actor Troy McClure neither of whom have been seen since 1998 so where did they go well the sad truth is they're gone because the voice actor who played them Phil Hartman was tragically murdered by his wife Brynn in May 1998 Brynn Hartman was intoxicated on alcohol and cocaine when she put two bullets into her husband at 3:00 a.m. and she later took her own life the same way various people have since pointed the finger at comedian Andy Dick for allegedly supplying Brynn Hartman a known former drug addict with the cocaine that pushed her over the edge but while we don't know if that's true we do know that the Simpsons was a far poorer show with a Troy Lionel and Phil at 8:00 you can email Lisa and Homer in the episode the day who knew too little Homer Simpson's email address was shown to be chunky lover 53 at aol.com and lisa's was shown in the president wore pearls as smart girls 63 at yahoo.com and for a time you could actually email these accounts and get an automated reply as both were registered with homers sending out an email which read dear internet nerd you've reached Homer Simpson's electric mail Deeley I'm not here to answer it right now so please send a 6-pack of death to 642 Evergreen Terrace Springfield USA praise Jebus Homer however I wouldn't recommend emailing them any longer as in 2008 Turkish hackers to control of homers email and used it to recruit computers into the Kimia botnet don't number 7 Krusty was real the monkey abusing death faking alcoholic Krusty the Klown is one of the Simpsons most iconic characters and the reason his character looks so much like Homer is because they were originally supposed to be the same person the idea was that Krusty was merely Homer in disguise with the idea dropped after the writers deemed it too complex but less complicated is the idea of how Krusty came about because he was based on the real-life character rusty nails who was created and performed by James H Allen Simpsons creator Matt Groening appeared on one of rusty nails his shows as a young child and after revealing him as inspiration for Krusty he quickly backtracked and stated for the record that the real rusty nails was nowhere near as mean as Krusty yeah right I believe you pal James H Allen died in 2015 so well Matt Groening finally tell the truth now he's gone because I want to hear what the real Krusty the Klown got up to at six famous faces The Simpsons has had some creative famous writers passed through its doors over the years most notably Conan O'Brien who wrote four episodes between 1992 and 1993 Greg Daniels is another whose name you might recognize as after penning eight episodes of The Simpsons he went on to co-write king of the hill the American adaptation of The Office and Parks and Recreation Bob Odenkirk brother bill also wrote a bunch over various seasons and even the likes of Judd Apatow Ricky Gervais and Seth Rogen have contributed to episodes in the past few years I would her if any of them want to come back pretty please they really need you five yellow their ever wonder why the Simpsons are yellow and not kind of pink like regular white folks while series creator Matt Groening gave this away in an interview when he told the story of how an animator brought him a drawing of his comic creations which were colored bright yellow he loved it immediately as he realized this flash of yellow would make people realize the Simpsons were on as they were hopping channels the same animator also wanted to make the trees purple but they didn't go with that idea oh and that one time Smithers turned black for an episode that was a mistake in the coloring process and when the show's creators considered keeping Smithers as an african-american they were told that having a black subservient character might not come across so well so they returned him to his original color at for Maggie's register we've all tried pausing the Simpsons intro to try and find out what the till says when Maggie is scanned at the supermarket but it always seems so blurry so what's the secret while that one's easy eight hundred and forty seven dollars and 63 cents as this was the average monthly cost of raising a baby in America in 1989 when the show went to HD this was changed to 240 $3.26 until maggie is scanned up to the total of four hundred and eighty six dollars and 52 cents so what are they saying here with this new figure that in the 21st century you can buy a baby for a couple hundred bucks at three what does the Fox say The Simpsons is and always has been owned by the Fox Broadcasting Company so how is it that they've been able to get away with making fun of the network mocking it shows and even calling Fox News viewers racist Wow back when the Simpsons was being developed Fox was just a small network and so co-creator James L Brooks was able to negotiate a contract which prevented its executives having any creative input into the show The Simpsons could basically say whatever they wanted about Fox and its owner Rupert Murdoch and so they did and when Fox executives tried to make a suggestion about the show they almost always regretted it this is what happened in 1996 when Fox wanted a new permanent character to join the show and live with the Simpsons the writers instead opted to mock their suggestions with this episode of the Itchy & Scratchy and Poochie show even inserting the one time character Roy with no explanation as to his background or what he was doing there oh and if you're wondering when the Simpsons will end Fox owns the rights to the show until the year 2080 - by which time everybody alive today will have already made at least four celebrity cameos in at number two McBain's movie Rainier Wolf castles character McBain is a typical parody of Hollywood hard men like Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger and throughout the Simpsons you'll see various clips of McBain in action which are supposedly taken from his latest movie at the time but did you know that each of these clips which span nearly two decades of The Simpsons can actually be put together to create a secret hidden movie on their own it's on YouTube if you want to check it out but before you do you may also want to try our final entry at number one the Frankie AK ever wondered which episode Ralph utters the immortal line my cat's breath smells like cat food wish you could grab a screenshot of the moment clients he says bake them away toys how about the time Troy McClure warned you that if a cow ever got the chance he'd eat you and everyone you
