18 things that would happen if The Simpsons was set in Dublin
1. Homer would work for ESB because nuclear power just isn’t a thing here
2. Instead of “eat my shorts”, Bart would mostly say “ask me bollix”
3. Back in the day, Marge would lead a city-wide protest against The Den because Dustin and Socky were just too violent
She formed Dubliners for Nonviolence, Understanding, and Helping (DNUH) to address this scurrilous issue.
4. For a brief period, the Simpsons would move to Galway and Homer would work for a maverick entrepreneur
5. And Bart would be dropped back to Junior Infants because he doesn’t know what a fada is
6. Lisa would get ridiculously cool for one summer when the family went to Tramore on holiday for a few weeks
7. Troy McClure would turn up to every single premiere at the Savoy out of desperation and be banned from the aquarium in Bray
8. Apu would own a fairly successful 24-hour Centra in Ballyfermot
9. Homer would be the mascot for the Dublin GAA team – but he’d lose the crowd because of a questionable performance with Jedward at Croke Park
10. Moe’s new restaurant would be shut down because it too closely resembled Eddie Rocket’s
11.Kirk Van Houten’s single would be called “Spare A Feeling, Buddy?”
12. Bart and his friends would strike up a rivalry with a group of lads from Navan, eventually going there to spray paint “Meath sucks” on a big wall
13. The whole idea for the LUAS would come from one visiting genius – who put Limerick, Donegal, and West Cork on the map
14. Homer would enter The National Ploughing Championships and call himself Mr Plow
15. Kent Brockman would front RTÉ’s Six One News and send the nation into a panic at every opportunity
16. Mr Burns’ son would be selling trinkets just outside Athy train station when he spots his auld lad passing
17. Lisa and Bart would face off against each other in a bitter local GAA match that would divide the family
18. And finally… Santa’s Little Helper would be a gift to the family after he continuously lost races at Shelbourne Park
Bless his bleedin’ heart.
