P.U.: The Simpsons Does Pixar… Again!

October 4, 2010• News UP

It’s clear that the folks behind The Simpsons are huge Pixar fans. In the past, they’ve put their own spin on favorites such as WALL•E and Finding Nemo.

This next clip is the most recent and elaborate Pixar parody the show has ever done. In fact, it includes quite a few references to the studio’s characters. They’ve called it P.U.: a parody of Up’s Married Life sequence starring the infamous cartoon duo, Itchy and Scratchy:

You can catch yesterday’s full episode, Loan-a-Lisa, right now on Hulu. International viewers, please note that Hulu may be locked in your region.

Are you a fan of The Simpsons; the Pixar references on the show?

    Yeah, I saw it on Twitter earlier today. I wish Doug the best of luck, but once he steps out of Pixar, it is no longer relevant to the blog. That’s my opinion, of course. Thanks for passing the news along, though! 🙂

    Is this what martini833 was talking about?

    “You might recall Fat Tony scaring the carpool kids with a “tonight you swim with the fishes… because I brought a Finding Nemo beach towel!”” – <http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/05/19/pixars-up-makes-cameo-appearance-on-the-simpsons/&#62;

    The Simpsons Wiki also mentions it. <http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Fat_Tony&#62;

    The Simpsons had a reference to Cars on a fairly recent episode too. I can’t quite remember the context, but a hallucinating character saw the cars on the road as living things with faces which were clearly drawn to resemble the Pixar characters. Wish I’d been paying more attention, the T.V was on, but I was busy doing other things!
