A list of magazines that have appeared on The Simpsons
For the last year or so, I’ve wanted to create a video that compiles every Simpsons clip that makes reference to magazines in one way or another. Three things have held me back:
1) Lack of skill;
2) Lack of time;
3) Copyright concerns.
Nevertheless, the project popped into my head again today, so I decided to search Google for Glass Eater magazine (a personal Simpsons favourite), which led me to The Duff Brewery, a site that claims to have the “biggest Simpsons dictionary on the World Wide Web.”
Using my trusty Find, Copy and Paste tools, I went ahead and used the dictionary to create a list of (mostly) fake magazines that have appeared on The Simpsons. The Duff Brewery doesn’t appear to have been updated since 2006, so I can’t call this a complete list, but it's close.
Once you've read it and laughed, go ahead post your favourite fake magazines from any show, film or song in the comments section.
[Update] Our friend Elvedin points us to The Simpsons Archive, which has an even more extensive list of Simpsons magazines than the one below. No point in re-printing the whole thing here, but click through to check out more classics, including Blue Pants Weekly, Oatmeal Enthusiast, Ballpoint Pen Digest, Gravy Aficionado and Men's Fatness.[/Update]
