Homer Simpson will proceed to strangle Bart on “The Simpsons” … with the showrunner telling TMZ the “gag” was by no means actually going to finish.
Here is the deal … the long-lasting cartoon simply premiered its thirty sixth season … and in addition to complicated followers by calling the episode the collection finale — it wasn’t — the episode peppered in shock worth when Homer strangled Bart … a bit most assumed was purposely ended final yr.
In an episode that aired final November … a personality famous Homer’s agency handshake — to which he responded … “See, Marge, strangling the boy paid off.” He then follows up and says … “Simply kidding, I don’t do this anymore. Instances have modified.”
Simpsons’ showrunner Matt Selman tells TMZ … it was a “mistake” to ever recommend the strangulation joke would finish, and he regretted the quip “felt extra like an announcement … it was only a joke … and folks took it within the fallacious course.”
Stressing the present on no account condones little one abuse … MS tells us the recurring strangulation joke is “within the DNA of the collection,” and followers can count on to see it occur once more … when the second may be “humorous or impactful.”
And to the pearl-clutchers … the joke was not shoe-horned in because of criticism the collection had gone “gentle” and “woke” … MS telling us “The Simpsons” has at all times had an edge … and that ain’t going to cease both.
As for the haters who disagree … Matt says, “Why, you little…!”
