[Introduction]
The American adult animated sitcom The Simpsons has shown a
large amount of satires through every episode. These critics are engaged with
significant and quotidian political, social and religious issues. Among other things, The Simpsons exposes the ineptitude and pretense of virtue of pop
psychology, the shallowness of public education, the venality of corporate
greed, ongoing environmental degradation, commercialism, consumerism and
radical phenomena such as homophobia or xenophobia. Moreover, they are able to make a great impact, considering that The Simpsons is translated into 45 languages.
[Conclusion]
In conclusion, The Simpsons’
episodes are funny and warning at the same time because their matters are daily, although sometimes overdone. As a knowing and sharp satire upon the complex, excessive and hypocritical
state of contemporary America, The
Simpsons has become a recognizable cultural source for examining
shifting political, social and religious trends in the United States. For this reason, I want to provoke you into seeing The Simpsons in a new light next time.
