The Simpsons Wrestling is a fighting video game based on the animated television seriesThe Simpsons. Developed by Big Ape Productions and published by Activision (Electronic Arts in Europe) for the PlayStation, it was first released in Europe in March 2001, followed by North America a month later. It is also the only Simpsons video game released for the PlayStation

There are 20 characters in the game, all of whom are voiced by the same actors that provide their voices in the show, and each character executes his or her own exclusive moves and gestures and power moves in the wrestling ring. The matches take place in detailed 3D locations from Springfield. A round in the game ends when one wrestler pins his opponent for a three count. Two victorious rounds wins a match. Unlike in traditional wrestling rules, the opponent may be pinned belly-down.

The game was widely panned by critics, and is considered to be one of the worst video games of all time.

Gameplay[edit]

The game is loosely based on professional wrestling games, but more closely resembles a beat-'em up. The game can be played in two modes: a tournament style single-player game or a grudge match where two players can interact. The matches take place in ten different detailed 3D locations from Springfield, such as the Simpsons' house, the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, the Kwik-E-Mart, and Moe's Tavern.^[1] Letters float around in the wrestling ring, and if a wrestler collects enough of them, they can taunt and temporarily become invincible.^[2] A round ends when one wrestler pins their opponent for a three count. Two rounds are needed to win a match.^[3]

Each time a successful attack is performed on a player, their health meter depletes. Players with low health stay stunned for longer when knocked down. A player can increase their health by picking up food items that randomly appear in the ring. Running and attacks drain stamina. If a player does not have enough stamina to perform a certain move, it becomes unavailable until they recover. Stamina is regained through not pressing the actions buttons or picking up certain items. Attacks which require more stamina are generally more effective. The stun meter only appears when the opponent is knocked down. It depletes gradually, but the stunned player cannot move until the Stun meter is completely drained. A player can reduce the stun meter faster by pressing the action buttons, or by receiving certain attacks. If a player is low on health, the stun meter will normally be higher, making pin attempts harder to resist. Once a player's health is completely depleted, it will only take one hit to stun them. Certain attacks to a stunned opponent will actually reset the stun meter.

During matches, wrestlers have a health meter that drains as they perform special moves, and gradually refills when they are not attacking. Different moves use up different amounts of energy, and certain characters can win any match by repeatedly using a particularly damaging move that does not require much energy.^[2] Several different power-ups are also available in the game, including a donut that increases speed, bowling pins that can be used as clubs, and bubble gum that slows players down.^[4]

In addition to health items, the letters A, N, U and T appear randomly in the ring. If either player collects enough to spell the word 'TAUNT', they can then perform a taunt. The taunt will completely drain the opponent's stamina, making them unable to attack for a limited time.

Characters[edit]

The game features 20 characters from the show, all of whom are voiced by the same actors that provide their voices in The Simpsons. The player begins with only 8 of the 12 main characters to begin with. Others can be made playable by unlocking them, or unlocking a certain game mode.

• Homer - Homer is the most balanced character in the game, but relies particularly on brawling.
• Bart - Bart is a faster character who uses toys (skateboard, catapult) to make up for his lack of strength.
• Lisa - Lisa is another smaller character who uses her speed to make quick strikes on opponents. Her saxophone attack can hit an opponent anywhere within the ring.
• Marge - Marge has good reach but lacks strength. She uses household items as weapons. She can even use Maggie to limit an opponent's movement.
• Barney - Barney is one of the stronger characters, but lacks speed and stamina. His attacks are based on beer (including throwing beer glasses).
• Krusty - Krusty is a balanced character who uses a combination of brawling and typical clown paraphernalia.
• Apu - Apu is a brawler with moderate strength, but has good speed and stamina.
• Groundskeeper Willie - Willie uses gardening equipment to either keep opponents at a distance or to limit their movement.
• Bumblebee Man - (Unlockable) Bumblebee Man is a balanced brawler.
• Moe - (Unlockable) Moe is one of the faster characters who relies on fighting dirty. To that end, he carries a lot of makeshift weapons.
• Ned Flanders - (Unlockable) Ned Flanders is a weak character with very strong special attacks. His prayer attack is the most damaging in the game as it causes high damage, stuns instantly and hits repeatedly anywhere in the ring. He also fully recovers when pinned, so opponents must beat him twice just to win one singular round.
• Professor Frink - (Unlockable) Frink is a hard to control character who relies on gadgets to wear down opponents.
• Mr. Burns - (Boss Character) Waylon Smithers fights on Mr. Burn's behalf while Burns stands outside of the ring. Their strongest attack involves Mr. Burns throwing explosives into the ring that do not affect Smithers. They are only playable in the Mr. Burn's Office level.
• Kang and Kodos - (Boss Character) Kang battles on behalf of this team while Kodos supports by throwing random items into the ring. They are only available in the Spaceship level.
• Itchy - Itchy is a cartoon mouse with a lot of dangerous booby traps and weapons. He is only available in his own stage and can only battle Scratchy.
• Scratchy - Scratchy is the long-suffering victim of Itchy. However, his moves and attributes are comparable to Itchy's. He is only available in his own stage, meaning that he can only battle Itchy.

The voice of Kent Brockman can be heard occasionally during matches as a commentator. Various characters make cameos as background images. Each character executes their own exclusive moves and gestures.^[1]

Development[edit]

Big Ape Productions developed The Simpsons Wrestling.^[4] At the Electronic Entertainment Expo in 2000, Fox Interactive announced its plans to produce and publish the game for the PlayStation console. Karly Young, director of Fox Interactive, said that the company had received an 'overwhelming' response to their previous Simpsons games, so they wanted to give the fans 'another dose of Bart and Homer—this time for PlayStation gamers'.^[5]

The following months, Fox Interactive looked to partner with somebody who could help publish the game. Activision, who knew the possible casual gamer interest in The Simpsons, announced on March 12, 2001 that it had signed a deal with Fox Interactive that would allow it to publish The Simpsons Wrestling in North America.^[6] Kathy Vrabeck, executive vice president of Activision, commented that 'The Simpsons is a property that enjoys phenomenal success across several entertainment mediums, including interactive entertainment. The acquisition of this game reinforces our strategy of delivering products based on powerful, recognizable brands.'^[7]

Reception[edit]

The Simpsons Wrestling received negative reviews from critics. It received an aggregated score of 41.21% on GameRankings^[8] and 32/100 on Metacritic.^[9] They criticized the game for having simplistic, unbalanced gameplay and bad graphics, but praised the game's audio track.

Doug Perry of IGN described The Simpsons Wrestling as one of the 'ugliest' games he had ever seen. He thought the graphics were 'choppy' looking, and the character outlines looked 'broken up'.^[11]Game Informer's Andrew Reiner criticized the game's design by saying that he did not think it held any wrestling qualities at all, and that the characters looked 'awful'. He said that instead of 'grappling' or performing 'devastating slams', you have to 'slap your opponent silly' by mashing the buttons redundantly.^[3] GameZone, however, called the graphics 'quite good, though a little clipped at times by the pace of the combat'.^[10] Perry also thought there was little wrestling in the game, instead it is 'all about smashing buttons and not having any skill whatsoever'.^[11] Reiner said that the game was a major disappointment and is 'one of the worst PS games to date'.^[3]

In contrast to the game's negative response, GameZone said that even though the game does not feature continuous play, 'the action flows well once into an event'. GameZone's review praised the game's audio track, and thought it was 'fun' because the comedy is straight from the television show, and the characters will 'bring a smile to your face'.^[10] Reiner also commented positively on the soundtrack^[3] and that the game may not be the best wrestling game available, 'but it delivers what the cover advertises'.^[10]GameSpot's Frank Provo said that 'wit' and 'charm' are the two most redeeming features of The Simpsons Wrestling, and in spite of the game's weak gameplay, it has 'plenty of laughs in store' that devoted fans of The Simpsons will enjoy.^[2] The BBC's David Gibbon wrote that the end result of the track is one that will not 'fail to impress fans'.^[1]

The Simpsons Wrestling received a 'Gold' sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA),^[12] indicating sales of at least 200,000 copies in the United Kingdom.^[13] In 2018, Watchmojo.com ranked the game #1 'Worst' on their 'Top 10 Best and Worst Simpsons Video Games' List.^[14]

'The Day the Violence Died' is the eighteenth episode of The Simpsons'seventh season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on March 17, 1996. It was written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Wes Archer. Kirk Douglas guest stars as Chester J. Lampwick, Alex Rocco as Roger Meyers Jr., Jack Sheldon as an anthropomorphic constitutional amendment, Suzanne Somers as herself, and Phil Hartman as Lionel Hutz. The end of the episode features Lester and Eliza, who resemble Bart and Lisa Simpson as they appeared in The Tracey Ullman Show in the 1980s.

In the episode, Bart meets a homeless man named Chester J. Lampwick, who claims and successfully proves that he is the creator of Itchy from The Itchy & Scratchy Show. Lampwick sues Itchy and Scratchy Studios, the owner of the Itchy and Scratchy characters, which he claims stole his idea. After a Judge awards Lampwick US$800 billion, it is forced into bankruptcy and shuts down. When The Itchy & Scratchy Show is replaced by a parody of Schoolhouse Rock!'s 'I'm Just a Bill' segment, Bart and Lisa try to bring the show back. They find a legal precedent that could help their cause, but before they can act, other kids save the day instead.

The episode finished 47th in ratings for the week of March 11–17, 1996, with a Nielsen rating of 9.2. It was the highest-rated show on the Fox network that week.

The episode received a generally positive reception from television critics. DVD Movie Guide and the Los Angeles Daily News enjoyed the episode's focus on The Itchy & Scratchy Show.

Plot[edit]

During a parade honoring The Itchy & Scratchy Show, Bart meets an elderly homeless person, Chester J. Lampwick, who claims to be the creator of Itchy the mouse of Itchy & Scratchy fame. He insists Roger Meyers, the supposed creator of the characters Itchy and Scratchy, stole the idea from him and proves this claim to Bart with his animated short Manhattan Madness from 1919. The film, however, is suddenly destroyed by the projector. To shelter Lampwick, Bart lets him live at his house. However, the Simpson family wants Lampwick to leave, but Bart does not want him to live on the streets. Suddenly coming up with an idea to properly compensate Lampwick for creating Itchy, Bart and Chester go to Roger Meyers Jr., CEO of Itchy & Scratchy Studios, and ask him for $800 billion. They are quickly thrown out.^[3]

Lampwick then decides, with the help of Bart and lawyer Lionel Hutz, to sue Itchy and Scratchy Studios. His case is not solid, until Bart remembers that he saw an original animation cel created by Lampwick for sale by Comic Book Guy. Buying the cel, Bart shows its inscription, proving that Lampwick is the creator of Itchy. Roger Meyers Jr. then admits that his father stole Itchy from Lampwick, but still rebuffs him by saying that animation is based on plagiarism. The judge rules in favor of Lampwick and orders Meyers to pay Lampwick the $800 billion. While Bart is happy that Lampwick is no longer poor, he is sad when he realizes that by helping Lampwick, he has helped take The Itchy & Scratchy Show off television because the studio is bankrupt and forced to close down.^[3]

Bart and Lisa find a legal precedent that could help resurrect the cartoon but discover that two other kids, Lester and Eliza, have beaten them to it. Discovering that the post office mascot Mr. ZIP had been ripped off from Itchy & Scratchy Studios, Lester and Eliza helped secure a large cash settlement from the government for the company. Despite being happy that Itchy & Scratchy are back on the air, Bart and Lisa leave, disturbed that their spotlight has been stolen.^[3]

Production[edit]

During their tenure as executive producers of The Simpsons, Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein tried to include one episode related to The Itchy & Scratchy Show in every season.^[4] 'The Day the Violence Died', written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Wes Archer,^[1] was The Itchy & Scratchy Show-related episode for the seventh season, and became a vehicle for jokes about animation.^[5] After completing the episode, Oakley commented, 'This episode is one of the craziest episodes ever, I would dare say. It is so packed with references and inside jokes and the ending is so bizarre that a lot of people didn't understand it.' The episode was considered polarizing. In one of its jokes, Bart asks Homer for a large sum of money and Homer immediately pulls out his wallet. Oakley described the scene as 'very controversial' among the show's producers; Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, in particular did not like it.^[4]

In Swartzwelder's original script, the 'Amendment to Be' segment was a cartoon that was consciously a parody of the humor style of The Simpsons, but the producers felt that it was not funny. As a result, it was replaced by the 'Amendment to Be' cartoon, which is a parody of the 'I'm Just a Bill' segment of the educational television series Schoolhouse Rock. Worried about potential lawsuits, the lawyer of The Simpsons made the animators change the design of the senator in the segment. Weinstein did the voice of the 'Curly amendment' in the segment, claiming the other voice actors 'couldn't do it exactly right.'^[6] The end of the episode features Lester and Eliza, who save Itchy & Scratchy Studios. Bart and Lisa typically solve problems in the show, but the writers decided to try something different and have a new pair of characters take their positions. Lester's design is a slightly altered version of Bart's design in The Tracey Ullman Show and is voiced by Tress MacNeille, who normally voices Bart on temporary tracks.^[4]

American actor Kirk Douglas guest stars in the episode as Chester J. Lampwick. William Hickey, not Douglas, was the producers' first choice for the role, who they described as 'famous for being a grouchy, mean old man'. Oakley and Weinstein, who often search for 'the absolutely perfect voice' when looking for guest stars rather than simply using celebrities, felt that Hickey's gruff raspy voice would be perfect for the role, but he turned them down.^[4] In Nancy Cartwright's autobiography My Life as a 10-Year-Old Boy, she comments that the episode's script was a 'gem' and recalls that Kirk Douglas' recording session, directed by Josh Weinstein, was fraught with interruptions. He refused to wear the earphones supplied to him in the recording studio, saying they hurt his ears, so he was unable to hear Weinstein from his booth. Cartwright directed Douglas, who was in a hurry and said that he would do two takes per line at the most. However, despite reading his lines all at once, he only had trouble with one scene; the scene in which Lampwick tells Bart he created Itchy & Scratchy required three takes, as Douglas continuously misread the line 'I changed all that' as 'I charged all that'. Cartwright managed to get him to do a third reading of the line by pretending to sneeze during his second take.^[7]

In his script, Swartzwelder randomly paired David Brinkley and Suzanne Somers together as the parade commentators. The producers were unable to get Brinkley to play his part, so he was instead voiced by Harry Shearer. However, they were successful in getting Somers to voice herself. Roger Meyers, Jr. was voiced by Alex Rocco, who also voiced the character in the episode 'Itchy & Scratchy & Marge'; while the character had reappeared in several episodes, in those instances he was voiced by Hank Azaria.^[4] The episode also stars Pamela Hayden and Tress MacNeille, and Phil Hartman as lawyer Lionel Hutz.^[2]

Cultural references[edit]

Roger Meyers, Sr. being cryogenically frozen is a reference to the myth that Walt Disney was frozen.^[2] When Roger Meyers Jr. pleads his case in court, he mentions that several animated television series and characters were plagiarized from other series and characters: 'Animation is built on plagiarism! If it weren't for someone plagiarizing The Honeymooners, we wouldn't have The Flintstones. If someone hadn't ripped off Sergeant Bilko, there'd be no Top Cat. Huckleberry Hound, Chief Wiggum, Yogi Bear? Hah! Andy Griffith, Edward G. Robinson, Art Carney.'^[1] The Manhattan Madness cartoon in 'The Day the Violence Died' is based on one of the first animated cartoons Gertie the Dinosaur.^[5] The 'Amendment To Be' segment is a parody of the educational show Schoolhouse Rock, and more specifically 'I'm Just a Bill', and refers to the Flag Desecration Amendment.^[2][8]Jack Sheldon, who sang the original song in 'I'm Just a Bill', voices the song in the 'Amendment to Be' segment.^[4]

The cartoon 'Itchy and Scratchy Meets Fritz The Cat' is a reference to the 1972 animated film Fritz the Cat that depicts drug use and sexual situations openly. Fritz the Cat was also the first animated movie to be rated X, before the NC-17 rating existed.^[4] The first Itchy & Scratchy cartoon entitled 'Steamboat Itchy', which originally appeared in 'Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie', is a reference to Steamboat Willie, the first Mickey Mouse sound cartoon to be released,^[9] and Joseph P. Kennedy, father of former United States PresidentJohn F. Kennedy, is listed as one of the cartoon's producers.^[4] The episode's title alludes to the line 'the day the music died' from Don McLean's 1971 song 'American Pie'.^[10]

Reception[edit]

In its original broadcast, 'The Day the Violence Died' finished 47th in the ratings for the week of March 11–17, 1996, with a Nielsen rating of 9.2.^[11] The episode was the highest rated show on the Fox network that week.^[12]

'The Day the Violence Died' received generally positive reviews from television critics.

DVD Movie Guide's Colin Jacobson enjoyed the episode and called it a 'hoot', praising Harry Shearer's impression of David Brinkley. 'It's hard to top the original Itchy cartoon – where else can you see a cartoon mouse kill both an Irishman and Teddy Roosevelt?', said Jacobson, further complimenting the episode's twist ending: 'For once, when Bart and Lisa team up to do the right thing, it backfires badly.' He also applauded the casting of Kirk Douglas as a guest star, and ended the review by calling the episode a 'winner'.^[13]Total Film's

Nathan Ditum named Douglas the 18th best guest star on The Simpsons.^[14]

DVD Movie Guide claimed that any show focused on The Itchy & Scratchy Show is 'hard to beat'^[13] and the Los Angeles Daily News considered this a 'cause for joy'.^[15]

Jennifer Malkowski of DVD Verdict said that the best part of the episode is during The Itchy & Scratchy Show copyright trial, when lawyer Lionel Hutz 'stalls for time by calling all of his surprise witnesses again: a ventriloquist and his dummy, Santa Claus with a broken leg, a caricature of John Swartzwelder, Ralph Wiggum, and the fattest twins in The Guinness Book of World Records'. Malkowski concluded her review by giving the episode a grade of B-.^[16]

In the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Unofficial 'Simpsons' Guide by Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, they comment that 'The Day the Violence Died' is 'a great episode, with some clever observations on ideas and copyright, and a superb – and sinister – twist ending featuring the return of both Bart and Lisa from their days on The Tracey Ullman Show'.^[2]

Columbia University offered a course that analyzed The Simpsons during the September 2005 school term. In one of the classes, entitled 'The Simpsons' Self-Referentiality', students viewed 'The Day the Violence Died', and later considered one of the episode's most memorable quotes to be: 'Bart: 'Lisa, if I ever stop loving violence, I want you to shoot me.' Lisa: 'Will do.''^[18]
