This article discusses how The Simpsons has a history of spoiling big movie twist endings, using examples like The Crying Game and Planet of the Apes. It also highlights the show's comedic approach to movie parodies and homages.
Over the decades, The Simpsons has developed a reputation for its movie parodies and homages, but it has angered some fans by spoiling big twist endings. The Simpsons often references movies, putting a satirical spin on iconic scenes and characters in all genres. Everything from Citizen Kane to Star Wars has been skewered by the show's writers, although not many of the show's movie references directly give away the ending.
For whatever reason, The Simpsons seems to have no problem giving away big movie twists. In some cases, the show chooses a famous twist as a punch line, and it's not going to upset many fans to mention that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father, for example. There are other big spoilers that could be more of an issue, like how the show gave away the big twist in The Crying Game less than a year after the movie was released. For example, in Season 7, Episode 19, 'A Fish Called Selma', the show parodies the ending of Planet of the Apes. The Simpsons is hardly the first show to spoil the movie, but its miniature musical makes it hard to forget. Troy McClure is one of the show's funniest minor characters, and 'A Fish Called Selma' puts the pompous actor and secret fish-fetishist in the spotlight once again. He has a long history of appearing in terrible movies and plays - not to mention his roles as a TV presenter - but the Planet of the Apes musical seems to be extremely popular. It's worth remembering that 'A Fish Called Selma' came out many years before the trend of adapting Hollywood movies into Broadway musicals, like Mean Girls and Back to the Future. It was still a ludicrous concept at the time, and Planet of the Apes was a great choice by the Simpsons writer
