The Simpsons go to ‘E4’
The opening scene of last night’s Simpsons episode brought the family to the “Expensive Electronic Entertainment Expo” (or “E4,” a joke that works even better if you realize the writers forgot about the existence of E For All).
You’ll have to wait eight days or so to see the episode on Hulu if you missed it — longer still if you’re outside of the US — but GameSetWatch has done us the favor of collecting some of the on-the-nose visual gags from the scene. In addition to the three screencaps presented in the post, GSW reports that parody games including Grand Theft Scratchy: Itchy City Stories, Shaun White: Time Snowboarder, and World of Krustcraft made appearances.
Perhaps the best thing about this sequence is that it suggests a Simpsons writer was present at E3 for the sole purpose of taking notes on the spectacle.The Simpsons go to ‘E4’ originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 15 Nov 2011 08:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
