Homer Simpson Takes a ‘selfie’
Matt Groening, creator of “The Simpsons”, uses the idea of Ellen DeGeneres to create his own version with his classic black humor.
The historic “selfie” that Ellen DeGeneres took during the Oscars is getting a lot of views. It has been a topic of debate on television programs, informational radio stations, an overwhelming party to which the creator of “The Simpsons” has joined as well, who used the picture of Bradley Cooper, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence and company to recreate the scene with Homer Simpson in it.
In his drawing the same characters appear along with the father of the family tribe from Springfield being kicked by Cooper while the picture is being taken, to prevent Homer from ruining the image with his characteristic black humor of Fox’s larger than life series. The happening was posted on Twitter with the idea of continuing with the tendency of “retweets”, started on Sunday by DeGeneres, breaking a record of more than 3 millions retweets.
The popular picture not only inspired Groening’s creation. Also, there is a version with the Lego puppets circulating through out the web, in addition to many other replicates like the one that DeGeneres shared with her followers with kids suffering from cancer, posing in the same way the stars of Hollywood did at Dolby Theater of Los Angeles.
