“Hey Jimi! It’s your cousin, Marvin. Marvin Hendrix. Remember that new sound you were looking for? Well listen to this!”

More importantly, when did the girl from The Ring become a ref?

“But Aquaman, you cannot marry a woman without gills, you’re from two different worlds! …Oh, I’ve wasted my life.”

If Apu had never existed, this same guy would be complaining. “There are no Indian characters on The Simpsons. They couldn’t even make the Kwik E Mart guy Indian???!!!!”

It’s a little strange to go to Dana Gould for insight into Apu as most of his character development and many of the most important episodes featuring him were written and aired years before Gould joined the show. David Cohen, Bill Oakley, or Josh Weinstein might be a little more useful as they were responsible for a…

Accent aside, Apu is one of the most human well rounded characters on the Simpsons.

Anyone who does see themselves reflected in a Simpsons character should seriously reconsider their life.

It’s probably worth mentioning all of those things if only to rightly dismiss them as “those elaborate things that happen in Simpsons episodes that don’t really matter regardless of whether they inspire occasional callbacks ten or fifteen seasons later.”

Thank you for reading my mind and expressing exactly what I was thinking.

If someone asks me about Bumblebee Man, I don’t fly off the handle. Fuck these assholes, Apu is great.

“little thought has been given to the Apu character beyond the accent, that Apu is his ethnicity (and a blatantly distorted one at that) and that’s it.”

Wawa is clearly the regional chain that needs to go national, but since Wiger has never left california he wouldn’t know that.

This is a really strange article. ESPN personalities were already cross-promoting with PFT and Pardon My Take with Scott Van Pelt (appearing on each other’s shows) and Bomani Jones (PFT as recurring guest), and PFT is a long-time Deadspin icon. I’d guess many of the PMT listeners don’t even go to the Barstool site.…

Not really.

I’ve come around on Katz but PFT has always been outstanding. Barstool is utter shit. It is possible to like and appreciate individuals associated with certain media and not like all of it (or even the overarching view of the particular organization). PFT, Scott Van Pelt, Bomani Jones & Holly Anderson are just a few…

The headline is 100% accurate. Bringing on PFT is the 2017 equivalent of hiring Dennis Miller for MNF, with the exception being that it might work.

I loathe Barstool but PMT is not even close to being in its shitty, misogynistic 37-year-old-frat-guy orbit. PFT Commenter and Dan Katz are successful because they know how ridiculous these mouth-breathing morons with no perspective on sports (or life) can be. I think even the PMT guys dislike being associated with…

Could not agree with or endorse this comment more. Good for PFT.
