Homer Appears in the “Selfie”
By Pablo Scarpellini
Matt Groening, creator of “The Simpsons” takes advantage of Ellen DeGeneres’ idea to create his own version with his classic dark humor.
The historic selfie, which was proposed by Ellen DeGeneres during the Oscars Gala, continues a massive game. It has been a topic of debate on television programs, news bulletins, and radio broadcasting, an uncontrollable party in which also the creator of the Simpsons has joined using the photos of Bradley Cooper, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, and company to recreate the scene with Homer Simpson in it.
In his drawing, appears the same people and the father of the family of the tribe of Springfield being kicked by Bradley Cooper while they are taking a picture, in order to avoid slipping in the picture and with the dark humor characterizing the legendary series on FOX. The occurrence was also posted on Twitter, with the idea of continuing the trend of retweeting something that DeGeneres began on Sunday, beating a record with more than three million reposts.
The popular photo has not only been recreated by Groening. There is also a version with Lego models circulating on the internet, as well as many other replicas as the same as the one DeGeneres was commissioned to share with her followers of a few child cancer patients, posing the same way as the stars of Hollywood did in the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
