The Simpsons TV show have always enjoyed making fun of convention, tech society specifically at moments, and even Apple directly, but there’s a clip floating around courtesy of Gizmodo that takes it to new heights.

Simpsons

It’s actually really funny, if a little venomous at moments towards Steve Jobs. They lampoon Apple’s “sterile” reputation




in their stores, their older advertising, and its rep as being popular among geeks. They conveniently add “My” as the prefix to all their creations. It isn’t ground-breaking stuff, but the humor is pretty pointed and dead-on in spots. Some great lines.

You can take a look at the episode below:

      It looks like it has been taken down. I’ve updated the post to a different video but don’t be surprised if that gates taken down as well.

      It’s still there, the above link just isn’t available. Go to http://www.youtube.com and type in ‘Simpsons Apple’ and it’ll come up … just watched it, very humorous! :)
