I'm sure every morning you wake up and think "thanks to modern technology we have access to all of human knowledge at our fingertips. But I sure wish someone compiled every appearance or mention of the most beloved anarcho dance pop single of the late 90s, Tubthumping by Chumbawamba, in the widely beloved animated sitcom The Simpsons, into a handly little list for quick access". And you are not alone! While the ever ongoing series presents us to this day with new, constant quality entertainment and back to back instant classic episodes every week, the ever increasing scale of the show makes it harder and harder to keep track of it's various Tubthumping-references, a problem that thousands of people surely face every single day. Lucky for you, I am up to the task of solving this problem once and for all, with this masterpost.

in reply to @Nim's post:
christ lmao I can't believe they did a pin pals homage episode a few years ago, why would you want to remind people that the simpsons used to be better
they do references to classic episodes a lot, in a few cases even full sequels, like that one or the particularly notorious "Kamp Krustier" in season 28. It's so baffling, they always shoot themselves in the foot with that, cause you always end up thinking man I could be watching a good episode instead
You could easily squeeze a >20 minutes video essay out of this material. Solid 28m if you just play the song twice in the middle with no explanation.
i'm not much of a video editor but im considering just putting this post in video format some time when im bored. probably not gonna be 20 minutes though, more like, maybe 4
20m was just me making fun of videos where people are talking for too long about nothing.
But nice to know you'd consider making a video out of this research anyway c:
