Dark Simpsons is a parody series that takes clips from various episodes of The Simpsons and strings them together to tell stories that are (usually) much darker than the source material, with material such as death, homicide/murder, revenge, tragedy, sex, incest, etc., all with Finagle's Law exaggerated and things happening more realistically. It heavily relies on Black Comedy. The channel's goal is to make the most ridiculous, dark, and outrageous contents possible with those clips. The two YouTube channels can be found here and here. There is also a companion channel named Sour Simpsons.The channel also knows about the existence of this page on This Very Wiki, as acknowledged in the video description for the minisode "Murder at the Simpson House"note where all of the Simpsons kids were killed by Groundskeeper Willie, and after he gets arrested and sent to the court, the rest of the minisode focuses on the fallout of Marge and Homer's marriage. The channel said that he very much enjoyed reading the page for the channel here, and he thanked anyone who contributed to the page. As the channel description says, it was meant for the hardcore fans who grew up on the original Simpsons show. If you're just a casual viewer (or a newcomer/beginner Simpsons fan), you may not notice certain differences between Dark Simpsons and canon Simpsons.On February 5, 2023, it was announced that the channel had been demonetized, but there were still several more upcoming videos in the video pool. Because of this, once the "pool" of new videos ran out (which it did on March 10, 2023 with the "finale" of sorts being "The Simpsons as a Bad Sitcom"), each subsequent video would take several weeks to be released (instead of being released weekly), and most of the new creative content would be done on the new "Sour Simpsons" channel. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: "Skinner's Sleazy Shenanigans" starts with Skinner calling for an assembly so he can wank off on stage in front of everyone, and things quickly deteriorate from there. In short order: Skinner proceeds to assault, and then kill Chalmers when he arrives to reprimand him, and when the cops arrive to deal with him, Skinner decides to blow up the school. In the Seamless Cut video "Marge's Highway to Hell", after Marge cleans up the entire house by 9:30am, she does some coke, which causes her to become so enraged she cooks Maggie for dinner. | |

Gone Horribly Right: To cheer Homer up after Marge gets arrested in "Marge Simpson in Chains", Bart pretends to be her by wrapping a towel over his head in the shape of her Beehive Hairdo and imitating her voice. This leads to Homer having sex with "her". Marge's heart-to-heart with Lisa in "Lisa's New Girlfriend" makes her feel comfortable about being a lesbian, but it also gives her the idea to not only perv out on Marge's sexy pictures, but also drug her so she can have sex with her. | |

Villain Ball: In "Skinner and Krabappel Making Babies in the Closet", Skinner captures Bart and attempts to cut off the boy's "Butterfinger". However, as he does this, he makes an Evil Laugh that ends up being picked up by the school's intercom, causing everyone in the building to hear it. Even worse, Superintendent Chalmers happened to be visiting the school at that moment and hears the laughter over the intercom as well, leading to him catching Skinner in the act. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil: "I'm Mr. Burns, Blah, Blah, Blah" has a rare happy ending: after his stint as Mr. Burns' assistant ends with him getting tossed out of the Plant for attempting to attack him, Homer makes his way to the Kwik-E-Mart, grabs a bag of diarrhea-causing chips, and then returns to the Plant in order to confront Mr. Burns... and shit on the floor in his office. The video ends on that note, with no implication if Homer is going to get punished for this. | |

Papa Wolf | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_1dfd19f9 | comment |
Papa Wolf: It rarely happens in the series, but sometimes Homer will defend his children: In "Mr.Burns Violates Bart", he punches him and demands him (unsuccessfully). In "Homer Punches Mr. Burns", he kills his boss as he stole candy from Maggie. In "The Untimely End of Bart Simpson", he avenges Bart's death by murdering Sideshow Bob in prison. In "Sideshow Bob Tries to Kill Bart", he quickly goes out to the bath to defend Bart from Bob as soon as he heard his son screaming. In "Krusty Gets Busted Again", he impersonates Krusty and frames him for murder in retaliation for Krusty no-showing his scheduled dinner with Bart and leaving him in tears. In "Ralph Calls Ms. Hoover Mommy", Chief Wiggum learns of Ralph's bad day, and responds by allowing Ralph to shoot Ms. Hoover, while Chief Wiggum and his officers club the children attempting to leave the school. | |

I'm a Humanitarian: In "Milhouse Comes Over for Dinner", Milhouse gets eaten by the Simpsons. Played for drama in "Marge Simpson's Fear of Flying", as both Homer and Marge ate their dead children to survive after their plane crashes In "The Simpsons Practice Social Distancing", Marge eats Maggie's brain after a few days of isolation. In "Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel", Cletus kills the Flanderses and feeds the corpses to the rest of the Spuckler family. In "Marge's Highway to Hell", while high off of cocaine, Marge murders Maggie, and then cooks her in the oven before serving her for dinner. In "Hungry Hungry Homer", Homer kills and eats his family after his house runs out of food to eat. In the Dark Simpsons Mysteries episode "Lisa the NOT So Vegetarian", this was the only alternative Lisa had to eating meat when she couldn't give it up. | |

Adaptation Expansion: Bart, who wasn't in the "Homer Away from Home" comic, was added into the video adaptation, "The Story of Homer and Lisa". Bart and Lisa don't appear in the comic "Single Dad Behavior". "Do It For Maggie" and "Homer Can't Let Her Go" both add them back in... only to ultimately have Lisa run away to Capital City after seeing Homer unable to cope with Marge's absence, and Bart drown himself when he couldn't take Homer's abuse any longer. | |

Surprisingly Happy Ending | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_25b4ad2f | comment |
Surprisingly Happy Ending: A rarity of the series, but "Lisa's Substitute Teacher" leads one of believe that Mr. Bergstrom is going to molest or otherwise harm Lisa. He does not, but Skinner does and this devastates her. She then contacts Mr. Bergstrom who takes revenge by returning to Springfield and shooting him dead. Always there for her, indeed. "Homer Needs Money" ends on an oddly wholesome (at least as far as this series considers "wholesome") note with Homer managing to solve his money woes by having sex with Moe on the regular. | |

Non-Indicative Name: "Homer Hits the Dean With His Car" features anything but. "Bart Drinks Some Good Squishee". After reading that title, would you expect Marge indirectly causing the children of Springfield to engage in a Jonestown-style mass suicide? "Bart Investigates the Effects of Cigarette Smoking on Dogs" is a variation: while the video does involve this right at the start, the actual plot of the video concerns the aftermath of the Simpsons murdering Bart in a rage the second he reveals his experiment. "Lenny Gives a Thumbs Up" is a video all about Mr. Burns diverting all beer trucks away from Springfield, resulting in Barney shooting him when he can't take sobriety anymore. "A Noble Spirit Embiggens Groundskeeper Willie" concerns Groundskeeper Willie being caught eating out of a toilet by Principal Skinnernote as the result of a prank on Bart's part, getting fired, and then murdering Skinner in response. "Bart Watches Brazilian TV" focuses more on the bullies harassing and beating up Homer. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: "Homer Can't Let Her Go" uses the clip of Bart and Lisa talking about the "new" episode of Itchy and Scratchy towards the start, acknowledging the fact the video is a full-length remake of "Do It for Maggie". Not only that, The Stinger sees Homer (having watched it on a TV) sadly remark how he didn't like the "director's cut". Likewise, "Lisa's New Girlfriend" uses the clip of Homer remarking that things ended sooner than usual after Marge gives Lisa a heartwarming speech about her sexual orientation, indicating the minisode is far from over. | |

Trivial Title | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_2b80abf4 | comment |
Trivial Title: In "Bart Licks a Pickle", Bart does just that, but only for a very brief moment (and even then, it's more of a Visual Innuendo). The rest of the plot is about Bart's descent into depression after being named the "world's greatest sex machine" and everyone in Springfield piling on him. "Homer's Snuggle Socks" only appear in the opening scene to demonstrate the point that Homer and Marge have a stale sex life, with the main plot being about Homer getting arrested for attempted prostitution, blaming Marge for not putting out, and the effect it has on their marriage. "Lenny Gives a Thumbs Up" is less about the eponymous thumbs up and more about Barney trying to cope with Mr. Burns cutting off Springfield's alcohol supply. "Bart Investigates the Effects of Cigarette Smoking on Dogs" is incidental to the Simpsons covering up their accidental murder of Bart. | |

Empty Shell | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_2cbaa888 | comment |
Empty Shell: Bart becomes one by the end of "Bart Runs Away From Home", in which a life of living in squalor and abandonment has made him catatonic and unresponsive. He struggles to even perform his job as a go-go dancer, and can only respond to his angry audience with a moan and a blank stare. | |

Frame-Up | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_2d363f63 | comment |
Frame-Up: Wiggum often uses this tactic to get rid of his enemies. A notable example is found in "Homer at the Bat"/"Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct", where he kills the entire Flanders Family and put the blame on Homer due to being bitter over losing a softball game. Homer frames Krusty for murder in retaliation for leaving his son Bart in tears after not showing up for dinner. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: A hallmark for the series. Whereas in canon he could never get one over the Simpsons, Sideshow Bob manages to score a few moments of victory within the Dark Simpsons continuity, such as "Homer Simpson vs. Sideshow Bob" and "Sideshow Bob Is Released From Prison". This trope will also happen wherever Sideshow Cecil manages to do what Bob never could: kill Bart Simpson. Some other videos will also end well for the character whom name appears in a video title, in which he/she takes an antagonist role. Notable examples are "Moe and Homer Face Off", "Mr. Burns Violates Bart", "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct" and "Krusty to the Rescue." | |

Stock Footage Failure | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_2fcfd52a | comment |
Earlier videos were more prone to Stock Footage Failure. For example, in "Homer At the Bat", the scene where Homer accuses Chief Wiggum of evidence-planting abruptly switches from the Simpsons' house to Moe's Tavern. This was fixed when the video was expanded as "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct" by editing the Moe's Tavern scene so that it appears to take place in the Simpsons' house. | |

Properly Paranoid: Bart is frequently characterized as this. In every episode featuring Michael Jackson, especially on "The Man in the Treehouse of Horror", Bart's constant fear of being raped by him is completely justified. In "Bart is Paranoid", he is right in feeling that he's being observed, as he is constantly watched by Ned Flanders in his hidden camera room. | |

Bittersweet Ending: "Do It For Maggie"/"Homer Can't Let Her Go": Marge is murdered, Bart commits suicide and Lisa runs away from home, but Maggie's still alive and Homer resolves to work hard for her as she's all he has left. Even then, however, Homer has hit the Despair Event Horizon hard and is implied to be contemplating suicide himself—while it's left intentionally unclear if he goes through with it, it's made very clear that he's considering it. "The Story of Homer and Lisa": Homer dies from radiation poisoning, but leaves behind a note for Lisa letting her know how important she has been to him in his last years. "Moe's Secret Admirer": He backs down from committing suicide after seeing the Valentine's letter left for him by the late Barney... but nonetheless leaves the noose up for another holiday. "P.S. I Am Gay": Homer is happy after leaving Marge for his new openly gay life, while Marge spirals into depression to the point of taking her own life, leaving Maggie (who is implied to be an only child in this video) utterly alone in her crib. "Who Plowed Bart Simpson?": The culprit behind sexually assaulting and binding Bart to a pole nude in public-Krusty the Clown- is ultimately caught and arrested. However, Krusty is now a Broken Pedestral to all of Springfield- especially Bart, who sadly watches on as all the clown's merchandise is publicly burned. | |

The Stinger | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_48081842 | comment |
The Stinger: "Chief Wiggum Hunts a Serial Killer" features one that acts as the second half of a Brick Joke. Here, Lenny and Carl are seen at the Bowlarama, following up on a small bit earlier in the video meant as a Red Herring that they're the titular serial killers. They laugh at the wacky names on the scoreboard. "Homer Can't Live Without Her" has Homer complaining about a director's cut, riffing on the premise of the episode being an extended version of "Do It For Maggie". In "Bart Licks a Pickle", Leon Kompowsky is raping Bart in New Bedlam Hospital at night with the audio from the video game "Micheal Jackson's Moonwalker". In "Homer's Twin Brother", Bart and Herb are watching television while the latter is shaving his hair, and Bart is notices something different about his "dad", who tells him that he's wearing a new tie. In "Not Lenny!"note Not to be confused with the episode where Homer shoots Lenny, everyone at Moe's Tavern offers a silent prayer to Lenny who died in an accident while fooling around with the nuclear waste barrels. | |

See You in Hell | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_4e34d653 | comment |
See You in Hell: In "Homer Has a Surprise for Marge", after Marge drunkenly humiliates Homer during a family night out, he drives off instead of returning home with her, saying she took his dignity away. He returns the next morning to surprise Marge with a gun aimed right at her head. He quietly tells her, "See you in Hell," and shoots her. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first few videos ended up with the screen going black and only the text "Dark Simpsons" on it. Starting with "Mr. Plow", they began to add outros encouraging the viewer to subscribe to them. At first, it was just the scene from "Mountain of Madness" where Homer tells Bart, "Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter." In "Homer Builds a Nuclear Reactor" and "Apu is Hot Blooded", this was replaced with an original animation of an Author Avatar asking the viewer to subscribe and donate to his Patreon account. This was a short-lived change due to negative fan reception. The next change came in the "Homer at the Bat" video, with a new card format that not only brought back the "Mountain of Madness" clip, but also adds a few clips from "Friend With Benefit" where Carl explains what crowdfunding is, followed by Homer telling Lisa to encourage viewers to donate. This outro is still being used to this day, except for the "Please give" bit being removed from "Secrets of a Successful Marriage" onwards. Starting with "Kirk Sleeps in a Racing Car, Do You?", other characters do the subscription spiel instead of Homer, though Carl still keeps his finishing line. Before it was a video series, Dark Simpsons was a Remix Comic series using recontextualized screenshots from the show. The comics can be found here. Earlier videos were more prone to Stock Footage Failure. For example, in "Homer At the Bat", the scene where Homer accuses Chief Wiggum of evidence-planting abruptly switches from the Simpsons' house to Moe's Tavern. This was fixed when the video was expanded as "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct" by editing the Moe's Tavern scene so that it appears to take place in the Simpsons' house. Earlier videos would inconsistently switch between 4:3 and 16:9 formats, regarding the use of clips from the FXX cropped prints or the post-"List the Drama Queen" episodes. This stopped after "Apu Is Hot Blooded" (which used FXX's 16:9 crop of "Homer and Apu"), when the editor made an effort to use windowboxed edits of the 16:9 aspect ratio episodes. In the Seamless Cut videos, only the first of them, "Homer Attacked By Hounds", lacks the "Thanks to modern editing techniques we can use existing footage to complete the film" opening. | |

"Everybody Dies" Ending | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_55cd4012 | comment |
"Everybody Dies" Ending: In "Black Sheep", Bart decides to shoot everyone in his school after failing an exam and having an awful day. In the comic strip "Grade School Massacre", which the video is based on, Bart is stopped and killed by the cops. In "The Fire Alarm", Homer starting a fire in the Nuclear Power Plant somehow causes everyone except him to die of possible nuclear fallout. Happens when Homer goes to college, as his incompetency results in a nuclear disaster. "Lenny's Not Supposed to Get Pudding in His Eye" ends with Homer attempting to drive his family home while wearing an eyepatch. The car spins out and smashes into a telephone pole as a result, burning them all alive. In "Skinner's Sleazy Shenanigans", after Chalmers catches Skinner wanking off on stage in front of everyone and is about to reprimand him, Skinner kills him, making students ran out of class in panic and causing the school to be surrounded by people (including cops). Then Skinner decides to blow up the school and kill everyone there. Everyone in Springfield dies when the meteor hits the Earth in "Deep Space Homergeddon". Earlier on, Homer killed two astronauts while on a spaceship in an attempt to stop a meteor, but the spaceship instead hits the building back on Earth and destroys Springfield's only bridge and the only way to escape their doom. | |

Meta Twist: In "The Simpsons Come out of Quarantine", when the virus resurges and Mayor Quimby makes the announcement that he had cancelled his vacation to the Bahamas in response, rather than a Reveal Shot that he's actually on vacation after all like in the source scene, he actually comes through and provides a vaccine for Springfield — a rare moment of competence for Quimby. An example that doubles as Self-Deprecation: "Homer Attacked by Hounds", which at first seems like a video all about Homer getting killed by Mr. Burns' hounds, with the usual unseamless style of editing, ends up being revealed to be the work of the Radioactive Man film editor. | |

In "Bart Licks a Pickle", Bart does just that, but only for a very brief moment (and even then, it's more of a Visual Innuendo). The rest of the plot is about Bart's descent into depression after being named the "world's greatest sex machine" and everyone in Springfield piling on him. | |

Domestic Abuse | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_590eb583 | comment |
Domestic Abuse: In "Homer vs. Marge", Homer beats up Marge and trashes the house upon finding her cheating on him with Ned, causing a worried Maggie to call the cops, who suspect that this may be the case but can't do anything as Marge doesn't press charges against Homer. Upon fixing her blackened eye, Marge attempts to leave the house with the kids, but they end up getting decapitated by Homer, with their heads mounted in the living room. In "Homer's Snuggle Socks", when Homer is arrested for trying to have sex with a hooker, he puts the blame on Marge for not wanting to have sex with him. Later on, he tries to kill her by feeding her fish which she's allergic to, but ends up killed as Marge immediately sees her husband's true intentions. "Bart at the Bat" has him cost the Springfield Isotopes an important game, much like its related canon episode. Homer responds to that by tricking his son into falling down a deep pit he dug himself with a false promise of father-son catch, then burying him alive, which kicks off the second half of the episode where he goes on the lam when the crime is discovered. | |

Police Are Useless: The competence of Springfield's police department is directly proportional to the Rule of Funny. If it would be funnier for a crime to be stopped or avenged, they will be hyper-competent at their jobs. If it would be funnier for the crime to happen unabated, they'll either be hopelessly incompetent or actively perpetrating the crime. | |

In "Homer Finds Out About Marge and Ned", Homer manages to get acquitted of killing Ned's children in court and goes unpunished. Then Ned decides to return the favor... | |

Not His Sled | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_5a36f8bc | comment |
Not His Sled: "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct" has one major change compared to "Homer at the Bat". In the original video, when Homer foretells of an uprising against the corrupt police, Wiggum responds, "Sit down and wait for Detective Like-I-Give-a-Damn!" In the extended update, he instead says, "He's crazy, boys. Get the tazer." The Minisode "Chief Wiggum Hunts a Serial Killer" shares its title with a previous non-minisode video. In the original, Ned Flanders was said serial killer, as was instantly revealed to the audience. In the Minisode, the serial killer's identity (Homer) is not revealed until halfway into the video, but it being Flanders is jossed around the 1 minute mark by an early clip of him and his kids going into their panic room upon hearing of the killer on the loose. | |

Formula-Breaking Episode: "Homer Dancing in Odd and Inappropriate Places" has him just doing that in the video, with no plotline attached. "Homer Attacked By Hounds" seems to play out like a normal episode, but the clips are horribly inconsistent. Only for the end to reveal that it was edited by the editor from Season 7's "Radioactive Man" who attempted a similar cut after Milhouse ran from production. Like the original, he is fired on the spot. | |

Adaptational Intelligence | |

Adaptational Intelligence: A surprising moment happens in "Homer Is the Last Man on Earth". In Homer's Enemy, he short circuits his console when Frank Grimes warns him about a 5-13. In the episode proper, Homer actually tries to warn everyone when he hears about it, but is ignored. | |

Henpecked Husband: Homer in "Homer Quits His Job" refuses to go to work after being abused by Smithers, but Marge forces him to go. Homer soon quits his job, then goes home and credits Marge for the idea. Marge responds by forcing him to get back his job, where he suffers further abuse. | |

| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Given the nature of the shorts, it's not always consistent, but Chief Wiggum and the Springfield Police Force are frequently depicted as being much more competent here than they ever are in the series, if only because the rest of the cast have all been exaggerated into being dangerous criminals. | |

"Homer Catches Bart with Cigarettes": Bart doesn't actually smoke these cigarettes, nor does Homer punish him by forcing him to smoke through all his cigarettes. Instead, it's Bart that's forcing Santa's Little Helper to smoke, and Homer just laughs it off. And towards the end, when Flanders catches the Simpsons cooking Santa's Little Helper and throwing a barbecue, he reports it to the police, who proceed to speed over and break down the door... in order to take part. | |

Marge dismisses him as a quack. A month later, their skeletons do indeed leap out of their bodies! | |

Brother–Sister Incest: In "Lisa Eats Bart's Hotdog", Lisa obsesses over eating Bart's wiener and after being rejected, she rapes him at night. In "Lisa Simpson's Date With Destiny," Bart becomes attracted to Lisa and rapes her once their parents step out. In “Bart and Lisa Work Out� the pair engage in consented activity when their parents are away, ironically using a couple of clips from “Lisa Simpson’s Date With Destiny� above. | |

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Bart is frequently portrayed as a sociopath. Aside from the examples listed elsewhere on this page, one would be the episode where, after Lisa gets a pony as a gift from Homer, Bart is angry that no one is paying attention to him. So he cuts the horse's head off and places it in Lisa's bed next to her while she's sleeping. | |

For Want of a Nail | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_79a60aec | comment |
For Want Of A Nail: The "Wiggum of Madness" comic and its video remake "Homer at the Bat", and its minisode remake "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct", is what happens if Chief Wiggum retaliates against Homer for mocking him at a softball game but he takes things too far. In a rather dark sense, if it wasn't for Marge yelling at Homer in "Leave Homer Simpson Alone", which made him so upset that he stayed home when the rest of the family went to the racetrack, he would've died along with everyone else when Sideshow Bob set off his nuke. "Homer Catches Bart with Cigarettes" is essentially an alternate take on "Bart Investigates the Effects of Cigarette Smoking on Dogs": Rather than getting murdered by his family, Bart is allowed to have Santa's Little Helper smoke... which causes him to get sick enough that the family decide to cut the dog up and throw a barbecue. As mentioned in the description, "The Homer They Fall" is the alternate ending to the original episode of the same name. Homer gets punched by Tatum in the head, gets paralyzed, and gets killed by Todd by being suffocated with a pillow. As mentioned in the description, "Moe Shoots Mr. Burns" is an alternate ending to "Who Shot Mr. Burns?": Moe shoots him in the parking lot, flees, gets caught by the police, and then gets off scot-free by bribing Chief Wiggum. Not only that, it's implied Mr. Burns died in this narrative. | |

Breather Episode | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_80a247a9 | comment |
Breather Episode: For all the dark, dirty jokes Dark Simpsons has to offer, sometimes something much lighter might occur instead: "Homer's Afraid of Sock Puppets" is arguably the lightest episode of "Dark Simpsons": After learning about Homer's phobia, Bart decides to scare him in the middle of the night with a sock puppet, and laughs as Homer screams in fear. The end. There's also the Simpsons Football Short. Hans Moleman calls the cops on Homer, how does he retaliate? Hitting him in the groin with a football. Oh, and it apparently was all a theater short Homer was watching. "Homer Whacks Marge": While the title sounds like things go wrong in it, it (technically) has a happy ending. No murders, no cheating, and definitely no raping. "The Simpsons Bear Patrol": Though definitely gory, is nothing more than a first-few-minutes-of-a Simpsons episode, where there's a little appetizing plot that triggers the episodes' actual main plot. In this case, the first few minutes is about Homer taking on a bear that wandered into Evergreen Terrance, the bear mauls Homer and he gets sent to the hospital, landing him a $500,000 bill, making this hypothetical episode about the Simpsons trying to raise 500,000 dollars. | |

Sudden Downer Ending | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_8124e7a6 | comment |
Sudden Downer Ending: "Homer The Lover" is about Homer cheating on Marge and showering their children with gifts to win their approval, and the effect this all has on her; fitting for the series, but not unexpected. But then it ends with Homer coming home one day to see that Marge has committed Pater Familicide. "The Simpsons Practice Social Distancing" is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: inherently dark given the subject matter, but no worse than what most people in the world had been experiencing at the time of this video's release. At least until Marge gets the idea to cannibalize one of her own children. | |

Broken Pedestal | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_868409c | comment |
Broken Pedestal: Bart often becomes disillusioned with his idol Krusty, sometimes to the point he antagonizes the clown. In "Krusty Gets Busted Again", he quits Krusty's fan club upon hearing that the clown isn't going to come for dinner again like he promised and even sides with Homer when the latter frames him for murder. In "Who Plowed Bart Simpson?" Krusty is found guilty of plowing Bart Simpson. Disgusted with the clown, Bart throws away his toys to be burned in a public burning. In "Krusty Gets Biz-Zay" Krusty rapes Bart on a whim when he attended his show. Disgusted, he destroys the clown's crotch with a baseball bat after the clown gets away with his rape in court and knocks down Homer when he decides to avenge Bart. In "Krusty to the Rescue", he becomes disillusioned when Krusty fails to save Milhouse's life and runs away like a coward. The Simpson kid attempts to bring the clown to justice alongside his sister, but gets kidnapped and killed by the clown. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: Every single episode is designed to look like a normal Simpsons clip, often referencing a single moment from an episode and featuring a screenshot from said episode. The actual content is very different. "Barty's Gonna Party": The thumbnail used only appears in the very beginning of the video, when Homer is entranced by provocative dancing on TV; it's completely unrelated to the actual content of the video, where Bart is molested by Leon Kompowsky. "Homer Goes Nuts": No, Homer doesn't go crazy. In this case, "go nuts" is a euphemism used by Bart to describe being raped by Homer. The thumbnail for "Lisa Simpson's Date With Destiny" shows an older-looking Ralph, implying that the episode will revolve around a relationship between him and Lisa. Ralph only appears in a nightmare Lisa has, and the episode is actually about Bart having an incestuous attraction to her. "Homer Catches Bart with Cigarettes": Bart doesn't actually smoke these cigarettes, nor does Homer punish him by forcing him to smoke through all his cigarettes. Instead, it's Bart that's forcing Santa's Little Helper to smoke, and Homer just laughs it off. And towards the end, when Flanders catches the Simpsons cooking Santa's Little Helper and throwing a barbecue, he reports it to the police, who proceed to speed over and break down the door... in order to take part. "Homer Goes on Disability": While the thumbnail shows the wheelbarrow missing Homer, it hits him the first time around in the actual video. This was lampshaded in the video description: "Homer Hits the Dean With His Car": He hit the college roommates instead. "Along Came Maggie Simpson": Despite what the title and thumbnail lead you to believe, Marge actually gives birth to a Chocolate Baby. "The Simpsons Get a Trampoline": The actual plot is about Milhouse getting killed by the government after he accidentally uncovers their conspiracy to abolish dinner. Later subverted when Bart, depressed after Milhouse's death, commits suicide by throwing himself down the window... only to be saved by the trampoline, which instantly revives his reason to live. The Minisode version of "Bart the Lover": At the end, it looks like Bart Simpson is going to kill himself out of mourn and regret for Mrs. Krabapple. But it turns out he's only breaking into the school to write "We'll really miss you Mrs. K" on all the chalkboards. "Peter Pantless": Turns out Homer only wanted to dance around in his underwear and simply wanted his kids to join him. "Ned Is Lonely, Natura-Diddily" opens with the "Everybody Loves Ned Flanders!" theme which is usually a sign that Ned is going to suffer horribly in the video. Instead, nothing bad really happens; Ned just has kinky gay sex with Homer and is pretty happy at the end. | |

Deconstruction | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: Dark Simpsons deconstructs the original show as a whole. The Finagle's Law examples are exaggerated and things happen more realistically, and if something bad can happen to the Simpsons cast (sometimes after they perform their antics at the other peoples' expense), it will, and its consequences be taken to their Logical Extreme. | |

Department of Child Disservices: The child welfare system is portrayed even worse compared to vanilla Simpsons, as the homes Bart and Lisa are transferred to are Flanders' house in "Flanders' Satan Sense is Tingling" (where he kills both Bart and Lisa) and an abandoned house in "Marge Is the Worst Mother In The World" (where both Marge and Homer's sanity take a further hit from their children taken by them after Maggie dies in an accident). | |

A-Team Firing | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_964ea66c | comment |
A-Team Firing: Implied in "Lisa Simpson Gets Bullied", where Lisa Simpson attempts to instigate a school shooting, but no characters are shown to be shot. Justified, given that she's a little girl trying to handle a powerful, heavy weapon with no experience in handling firearms. | |

Never My Fault | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: Take to some massive extremes in "Homer's Snuggle Socks": After Homer gets arrested for attempting to solicit sex from Chief Wiggum (who was disguised as a prostitute), when Marge shows up to bail him out, she calls him out for doing something so terrible. Homer's response is to call her out for not providing him with "Tang", openly stating it's her fault he got arrested. And then shortly after getting bailed out, Homer is inspired by a seafood commercial to try and kill Marge by provoking her seafood allergy. | |

Throw the Dog a Bone: In "Bart's Not Dead", it seemed like the title was going to be a Bait-and-Switch when Bart attempts to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. However, he survives, and Homer fixes Bart's depression by dressing up as the late Krusty the Klown. | |

In "The Simpsons Autodialer" Homer uses an automatic dialer he found in the trash to call everyone in town and tell them "you're a stupidhead". In response to this light prank the entire town arrives, beats up Homer, and trashes the Simpsons house, with Chief Wiggum flat out refusing to help Homer when he calls. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Marge in "Homer and Lisa Go on a Date", where she encourages Homer to go on a dinner date with Lisa, so that "she'll expect the same from the men in her future". Homer takes this as initiation to have sex with Lisa after the date, which then leads to her trauma, pregnancy, and murder of Homer. | |

Sideshow Bob's brother, Cecil, likewise manages to kill Bart in "Cecil Did What Bob Never Could, Kill Bart Simpson" and "Sideshow Bob Tries to Kill Bart". | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: "Homer Attacked by Hounds" has a very apparent instance at the start due to the fact that it's part of the "Seamless Cut" subseries at all. In "Stupid Flanders Wearing Nothing at All,� the "Everyone Loves Ned Flanders," intro omits Homer’s usual interjection of 'Not me!' Hinting at Homer’s attraction to Flanders. In "Homer's Twin Brother", Abe has a heart attack and gets sent to hospital, and when Homer visits him, Abe says that he realized that he's going to die someday. He later does get killed by Homer's twin brother Herb. The thumbnail of "Homer Lives Out the American Dream" shows that Mr. Burns will die in this video. He does gets killed by Homer by throwing him out of an building at the end of the video. | |

In the remastered version of "Hot Fudge", it is revealed that Homer unleashing his dump on the people below the VIP area was caught on the Jumbotron, causing the rest of the stadium to stare blankly at the screen. | |

In "Homer Makes Flanders Believe His Family Is Dead", Ned kills Homer, then realizes to his horror that he just became a murderer. In "Homer Goes in for Those Backdoor Shenanigans", Smithers kills Burns and instantly regrets it. Implied: After kicking Homer out of the house in "Homer Gives up Beer for a Month" (due to failing to do just that), Marge gets a phone call from Chief Wiggum saying he died in a car accident. After we see her cry for a bit, we cut to Marge drunk at Moe's. | |

The Bad Guys Are Cops | |

The Bad Guys Are Cops: Chief Wiggum and the police force can be pretty nasty at their worst: In "Wiggum of Madness" comic and its video remake "Homer at the Bat", they frame Homer for shooting down the Flanderses, all over losing to a softball game. Its minisode remake, "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct", expands on this video by having them taze Homer, cut his brakes, and constantly wait outside of his house for him to come out. In "Homer Wins A Motorboat", Chief Wiggum lures Homer to the police station with the promise of a free boat, then proceeds to rape him while other cops hold him down. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Mr. Burns in "Mr. Burns Violates Bart" as he bribes the judge to screw over Homer and get away scot-free. Bart in "Bart Didn't Do It". He shoots and kills Ralph Wiggum and lies that he didn't do it. He's found not guilty and makes a song out of the "I didn't do it" statement that launches his music career, making him and his family rich while poor Ralph is dead and buried. The police force in "Wiggum of Madness" comic and its video remake "Homer at the Bat", and its minisode remake "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct". Homer in "Homer has a Surprise for Marge." He kills her and the kids after she embarrasses him during a family outing, and gets away with it by framing Hans Moleman. Homer always gets away with raping Bart, though he gets his comeuppance in "Return of the King". The most successful example of this is Leon Kompowsky, as until now, he has got away with all his schemes of molesting Bart Simpson. George Bush in "Two Bad Neighbors: Homer Fights George Bush". Surprisingly enough, Milhouse in "Milhouse Needs a Psychiatrist" gets away with killing his parents and framing Bart for it. "Bart Investigates the Effects of Cigarette Smoking on Dogs" ends with the rest of the Simpsons managing to get away with murdering Bart... because of Mayor Quimby firing Chief Wiggum, the only cop investigating his "disappearance". In "Homer Catches Bart with Cigarettes", Bart is allowed to do his experiment this time... resulting in Santa's Little Helper dying. The family's response? Cooking the dog, and serving him at a barbecue. And when Flanders reports this to the cops, they rush over, literally running Flanders over in the process... in order to take part in said barbecue. In "Homer Is the Greatest Hero in American History", Homer not only gets away with raping Maude Flanders, but also does an taunts Ned and Maude to their faces with an Evil Laugh. Artie Ziff didn't get any comeuppance in the minisode "Marge's New Lover" for installing an CCTV in a shower in the Simpsons' bathroom to spy on Marge and Homer, killing Homer in a hot tub (which cause the Simpsons family to move to a motel to live with Patty and Selma due to financial issues) in order to get an advantage to have sex with Marge and later marry her. | |

Halfway Plot Switch: Just like the actual show, these videos are often fond of doing it, with a darker twist of course. Justified in "Not Lenny!", as a drunken Homer kills a Pride Award winning Lenny moments after the first minute, with the rest of the episode focusing on the fallout of the incident, and the death of Homer, as the audience members clap with approval. "Murder at the Simpson House", meanwhile, starts off by Groundskeeper Willie almost immediately taking the Simpson children away, before ultimately being found guilty in the first two and a half minutes. The rest of the minisode focuses on Homer and Marge's marriage gradually falling apart because of the incident. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Homer, big time. He's not winning any "father of the year" awards in the actual show, but he's far worse here. For example, in "Homer Can't Let Her Go", he does the classic strangling bit on Bart after being pranked, but later on, he actually beats up Bart for getting a Bigger Brother. Certain videos even extend to him sexually abusing his kids. Marge can slide into this territory at times too. A good example would be in "Homer Stops Doing Stupid Things," where she stops Homer from rescuing Bart and Lisa from their burning house, then laughs as they are reduced to skeletons. Also, in "Marge Gets Her Sax Blown", when Lisa threatens to tell psychiatrists about how she got drunk and raped her, Marge punches her in the face and rapes her in bed again. | |

Bestiality Is Depraved: In "Moe's Illegal Activities," Moe is forced to shut down his panda trafficking. This comes right around the time Homer decides he wants to have sex with a panda, so he makes his own panda costume and sneaks into the zoo. In "Troy McClure Goes to Sea World" Troy has an abnormal attraction to marine creatures, and immediately goes to Sea world to have sex with a Dolphin after Lisa stops Moe's illegal trafficking, much to the horror of the visitors of the marine park. | |

Yank the Dog's Chain: After Bart escapes from Homer's abuse in the minisode "Return of the King", he calls for a big brother to be his Parental Substitute, only to learn that his new big brother is no one but Leon Kompowsky himself. In the minisode "Bart Licks a Pickle", Bart creates a "sad" drawing after he licks Homer's pickle and gets raped by everybody in Springfield except his family. After Marge and Homer discover it, Bart is sent to New Bedlam Hospital to get some rest, only to get raped by Leon Kompowsky, who's living in the same room as Bart. | |

Red Herring: In "Chief Wiggum Hunts a Serial Killer", Homer asks Lenny and Carl if they'd like to go bowling later, but they can't, since they're busy with secret activities. In the end, it turns out that it's the other way around, with Homer murdering people in secret, while Lenny and Carl go bowling. In "Who Plowed Bart Simpson?", it's heavily implied that Homer Simpson, Michael Jackson, and Marge Simpson are prime suspects in plowing Bart Simpson, especially for Homer since he had a very notable role as a rapist in "Mr. Plow". Ultimately, the one responsible for plowing Bart Simpson is Krusty the Clown. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
Despair Event Horizon: Many episodes end with the characters traumatized to the point of being unable to function or even live. "Do It For Maggie"/"Homer Can't Let Her Go" has Homer hitting it hard when he loses Marge by the hands of a criminal, and later loses both his older kids who succumb to despair as well, with Lisa running away to live with Mr. Bergstrom after being traumatized by Homer making a replacement of Marge out of a plant and Bart drowning himself after having enough of both his dad's abuse, dealing with his depression for losing his mom and being forced to give up his big brother once Homer finds that out. The video ends with Homer struggling to raise Maggie all alone and giving up beer for her sake, while he seriously contemplates ending his suffering by hanging in his room, unable to cope with his grief and Burns abuse without the help of alcohol to drown his sorrors. "Bart Runs Away From Home" ends with him becoming an Empty Shell from living a life of squalor and abandonment. "Lisa It's Your Birthday" has her mourning the loss of her family with no one to turn to except Maggie. "Homer Simpson's Body Transformation" has him regaining the weight he worked so hard to lose, as he eats to help himself cope with Marge cheating on him. In "Where's Maggie Simpson", when Marge learns that Maggie is dead, she ends up putting her head in the oven. "Homer Is Dumb as a Mule and Twice as Ugly" has Homer drown himself at the end of the video after being humiliated by Bart and the public. "Bart Avenges Homer" has the latter committing suicide after he gets full and can't eat any more of the all-you-can-eat buffet at The Frying Dutchman. | |

Comfort Food | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_e2c91d45 | comment |
Comfort Food: In "Homer Simpson's Body Transformation", Homer turns to this after finding out that Marge cheated on him with Ned, eating a lobster while sobbing. What makes it much worse is that Homer had been doing really well with getting into shape up until this point, and by the end of the episode, he's fatter than ever. | |

Manipulative Editing | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_e409de66 | comment |
Manipulative Editing: The series' bread and butter. So many video and audio clips are placed together to make the cartoon's already unsuitable material so much darker. One particular example that gets taken to the extreme is with "Homer Can't Satisfy Marge Anymore": Not only does it start with Marge and Homer hiding behind lawn ornaments being changed to Homer getting his penis sawed off, but when at the hospital, Homer's shriveled thumb is used as the stand-in. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: While the videos are generally compromised of edited footage from the show, in "Homer Buys Snake's Car", there's an original animation of Homer's decapitated corpse as Snake throws it out of the car. "Homer Builds a Nuclear Reactor" and "Apu is Hot Blooded" featured a short-lived end card featuring an Author Avatar Thanking the Viewer. The character has Powerpuff-Girl Hands, and his mouth is drawn and animated closer to the style of Family Guy than The Simpsons. When the character returned in the Dark Simpsons Mysteries episode "What Happened to Yellow Apu?", he hews much closer to the show's house style. | |

Hate Sink | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: A lot of characters will undergo Adaptational Villainy (or getting Karma Houdini status) in a video for the sake of getting the audience to hate them, such as Mr. Burns in "Mr. Burns Violates Bart", and Chief Wiggum in the webcomic "Wiggum of Madness" and its related videosnote "Homer at the Bat" and its minisode remake "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct". | |

Groin Attack: Lisa does a horrifying variant in "Lisa Eats Bart's Hot Dog". In "Groundskeeper Willie Makes an Enemy for Life", Willie shoots Skinner in the crotch. Another horrifying variant is done by Skinner in "Skinner and Krabappel Making Babies in the Closet". In "Krusty Gets Biz-zay", after Krusty rapes Bart and then beats up Homer for trying to come to Bart's defense, Bart smashes Krusty in the crotch with a baseball bat. | |

Pater Familicide | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_f8df38e6 | comment |
"Homer The Lover" is about Homer cheating on Marge and showering their children with gifts to win their approval, and the effect this all has on her; fitting for the series, but not unexpected. But then it ends with Homer coming home one day to see that Marge has committed Pater Familicide. | |

Fun with Subtitles | |
| Dark Simpsons (Web Video) / int_fdb355db | comment |
Fun with Subtitles: Sometimes, certain sensitive words and terms in the subtitles are rewritten to soundalikes. For example, in "Ned Is Lonely, Natura-Diddily", Ned says, "I'm insisting on a fisting," which is rendered in the subtitles as, "I'm insisting on going fishing." Also, Troy McClure saying "Hardcore nudity!" is written as "Parkour booty!" in the Dark Simpsons Mysteries episode "Is Homer a Gigantic Butt Model?" | |
