Man Posts Pitch For How 'The Simpsons' Should End And It's Pretty Decent

Pretty niche.

I haven't watched The Simpsons for years but I think it's safe to say its current reputation and series have been shite, which is a shame given the quality of the first half-a-dozen series.

At the same time, I sympathise with the producers, who must simultaneously be aware of this yet have no clue themselves as to how to successfully bring the TV classic to an end.

One Redditor - LittleMonkey69 - though, might have the answer.

His theory is as follows:

"When watching TV as a family, it is announced that Itchy and Scratchy is coming to an end and that there will be a competition to allow a fan to write the finale.

All the Simpsons family members enter the contest, and Krusty falls in love with one of the ideas and decides to make it the winner.

But, on the day he announces the names of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie - they've all won.

Bart is in class describing his take on the Itchy and Scratchy finale to Milhouse, while showing us Itchy and Scratchy with Bart's voice-over.

He finishes and the class is silent, Edna Krabappel is staring at him and says, "After-school detention".

The scene then cuts to the power plant and Homer is describing his finale to Lenny and Carl. He finishes, a bell rings and he gets in a radiation suit.

The scene cuts to a supermarket and Marge is describing her take to Helen Lovejoy, she finishes and strolls Maggie in the trolley to another aisle.

Here, Maggie sees the unibrow baby and starts describing her take via waving and motioning.

She finishes and the scene cuts to Lisa, she begins describing her take to Sherri and Terri. She finishes and picks up her saxophone to go to music practice.

She walks in the music room sits down and then sees the time. She realises the show is going to be on in ten minutes. She plays the Itchy and Scratchy melody on her sax and bolts out.

It cuts to Bart, he's writing on the black board: "I will not talk in class ever again" - he hears a bell, realises the time and runs out.

Cut to Homer holding some plutonium at a conveyor belt when a bell rings at the plant and he too realises the time and runs off, dropping some plutonium.

Cut to the supermarket and we see Marge and Maggie checking out and running through the exit doors.

Cut to a bird's eye view of their home and we see everyone rushing to take a seat in the couch. They look at each other, they smile, the Itchy and Scratchy music plays, and it cuts to credits."

Solid or shite? I think it's quite good. It's better than anything I could have come up with.

What's your pitches, lads?
