It had to happen. Homer Simpson is hooked on Pokémon Go.

It had to happen -but the speed of this is scary!

The Simpsons has an upcoming episode featuring Pokémon Go, as seen in this teaser scene for the upcoming season.

…hopefully no actual kids fall into a lion pit ahead of the broadcast and cause the ep to be held over.

  1. The clip is from “A Tree Grows in Springfield” the sixth episode of the 24th season. Homer is playing with the MyPad he won from a raffle.

  2. It’s a redubbed scene from an earlier episode (though I can’t blame anybody for not knowing as the recent seasons are so unmemorable). Redubbing existing scenes was common practice during the earlier seasons in order to pad out some of the shorter episodes (and possibly to stretch the budget a little further). This happens only very rarely nowadays.

    There’s no way that The Simpsons, with its more sophisticated animation, could have responded to something topical unless the animation was comprised of a talking head only (or in this case, a redub of an existing scene).
