Its funny, if Simpsons ended a decade ago they probably would have had various Simpsons reunion specials at this point or movies. But since Simpsons never ended they had no reason to do any of that. So when the show actually DOES end the voice actors are already so old that probably can't wait more than 5-10 years to do something like that.

I do think its obvious there will at least be a second movie after the series ends. They've been talking about wanting to make another movie for awhile but have no time for it as the series is going.

They'll have to let the Simpsons go someday. Nothing lasts forever. And as you've mentioned, the VAs are old, so once they retire or die, the producers probably wont' risk assign the main characters wit other VAs.

I disagree. We've had a ton of Fred Flinststones, Popeyes, Bugs Bunnies and so forth over the years.

I kind of feel like in some way, they'll be keeping The Simpsons brand alive in some way long into the future, and not just by selling old episodes for download and so forth. Maybe the occasional animated film, maybe video games, I don't know. But if and when the time comes and they have to resort to sound-alikes, you can bet they won't let that stop them.

Especially because every Simpsons character has a crazy-easy voice to imitate, anyways. I mean, if they wanted to save money, they could just hire me to do half the main cast. I mean it'd be noticeable, but still close enough that nobody'd really care after a week or two. Anybody could do those voices.

They still make new Flintstones stuff when the original series ended back in the 60's. There's been a gazillion Flintstone spinoffs and movies since then.

Simpsons has been a part of American culture for over 25 years, its going to be around forever. Think Star Wars, Star Trek, DC and Marvel superheroes, its going to be around forever.

They will stop making episodes eventually, and eventually the voice actors will die and pass away, but you'll likely see new Simpsons products till the end of time.

Way to say the exact same thing I just said. Except when people hear your voice in their head, they see the guy in your sig pic. And when they hear my voice in their heads, they suddenly want to cheat on their husbands.

It's ok. We're just different, is all.

Napoleon Complex in full effect, ladies and gentlemen.

Now that you mention it, I guess you're right. Maybe the Simpsons are immortal and will always be around somewhat. The Turtles also seem to be heading down that path as well.

Woah man, talk about a cheap shot.

[Leo656]

Holy sh*t even Cubed knows I was goofing, guys. Yikes.

[Peanut]

I wasn't goofing.

[Leo656]

I'm taller than Napoleon, though. And I'm a better bowler.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

You never are. That's what's so sad.

You don't need to be his height to suffer from it, brah.

The term is also used more generally to describe people who are driven by a perceived handicap to overcompensate in other aspects of their lives. Other names for the term include Napoleon syndrome[2] and Short Man syndrome.[3]

I'unno if throwing good-natured jabs at a guy on the internet who actually insists he finds it funny is over-compensating, though. I think I compensate just fine. I'unno.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Leo, you and me should go bowling sometime. Maybe you could give me some pointers, LOL! And we're BOTH better looking than Napoleon ever was.... (And if ANYONE around here would have a reason to have a Napoleon complex, it's me. I'm only 5', and 100 lbs on a GOOD day.)

[Leo656]

I'm actually a pretty sh*tty bowler! But, according to documentary footage obtained by one William S. Preston, Esq., and Mister Ted "Theodore" Logan, as well as several corroborating witnesses, I'm apparently much better at it than Napoleon.

You do very well for yourself! Just this week alone you've tooted your own horn about all kinds of great stuff! Your eyes, your incredible cooking skill, your ability to be a VA. Amazing stuff!

[MsMarvelDuckie]

And what talents do YOU have, again? At least his are evident. And he DOES have lovely eyes. And hair.

LOL!!

[Leo656]

And yet, somehow everybody else notices that it's so over-the-top on purpose? Way to notice the obvious trail of breadcrumbs, guy.

It's like some people haven't figured out the gimmick yet. I don't get it.

You know what's kinda awesome, but kinda sucks? To prove that Nature Is Balance, my teeth are totally shot. All chipped and misaligned. That's why I always smirk; my mouth is crooked because my teeth came in wrong. Weird, huh?

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Don't feel to bad, Leo. Nature pulled a fast one on me too, by giving me great boobs and legs, but almost NO a$$.

[Leo656]

Squats are a thing.
