If You Piece Together All The McBain Clips It Makes A Movie

If You Piece Together All The McBain Clips It Makes A Movie

This is so good.

The creators of The Simpsons are always sneaking in little Easter eggs for their own amusement, like this Futurama poster which was slipped into the background:

Or the fact that creator Matt Groening hid his initials into every drawing of Homer -his hair makes a M and his ear is G. Homer himself mentions this in an episode in season 16, when he tells Lisa 'and for some reason my hair and ear form an M and G'. Nice.

One of the absolute best, though, is the McBain movie that was slipped in. A fan, who obviously has a fair bit of time on their hands ,pieced together every clip of action-star McBain's movies from the early episodes to find that it actually makes a mini-movie.

Check it out:

This isn't a new thing, but it's been doing the rounds again recently. And, to be honest, last time I saw this I just thought it was a bit of wishful thinking on a fan's part, but it does seem legit. The name of the villain stays the same throughout, for example, and it does seem to follow a loose storyline.

If you want to get fully nerdy, then check this out:

Hidden within this episode, Treehouse of Horror VI, Homer ends up in a 3D world after falling into a vortex and at one point there is a string of numbers behind him: 46 72 69 6E 6B 20 72 75 6C 65 73 21. Someone, and God knows who, converted this into ASCII and it reads: 'Frink rules!' If you remember the episode, Homer calls on Frink to come and help him.

There was also this opening sequence which saw Bart writing 'I am not a 32-year-old woman'.

Of course, back then Bart was voiced by 32-year-old Nancy Cartwright. He's also been seen shown writing: 'I should not be 21 by now'.
