Wait, what is that room with the tv behind the garage and beside the kitchen?
It is the rumpus room. It appeared only in five shorts and three full episodes, often with a bit different toys and stuff.
Ned has a fully built out cellar with a pool table and beer tap.Ahh first time hearing the rumpus room. lol
I recall Ned Flanders having a bigger rumpus room right? In Joy of Sect anyway.
"What up, Marge?"
Homer using "slang." Real cool modern eps, real "cool."
TAB, that's cool. Keep fucking that chicken modern simpsons.

How do you mean? That episode was in the sixth season.
See, this is pretty damn accurate as you can get if you need to make things static. I never would have pictured it in the garage though. Especially since that never happens. There's never EVER a basement under a garage since a garage needs a solid concrete floor. And the way it's drawn here means it can't be there. But then again from how this is drawn shows that they couldn't fit in the closet in front of the kitchen. Normally stairs are lined up in a row with stairs going up being right above stairs going down...
In this image the stairs make no sense at all. Especially that weird 4 door tiny "hallway" that connects to the basement stairs, dining room, bathroom AND kitchen at once. And the top of the upstairs has a little part that goes down on both sides? Nope. These blueprints are the least accurate I've ever seen. The isometric view is the closest you can get aside from the completely wrong basement stairs.
This is incorrect too. It also has the basement stairs in the garage where it would be dangerously inaccurately placed
That is correct though when applying to the colored blueprint above. That is indeed the bar, and that thing on the left wall is the urinal he installed.
See there's really no accurate way to build the Simpsons house as it changes slightly when needed. The main problem is the basement stairs. They should be under the normal stairs, but have never been accurately drawn that way. Especially the scene where Homer takes a bunch of bowling balls downstairs and the bulb is gone. This episode has him walking straight down the stairs. But the placement of the door SHOULD be to the left with the stairs aligned with the normal stairs above it like normal houses. Or at the very least the kitchen has a door directly to the basement which would support the bowling ball scene. But not the way it's been drawn above at all. That bowling ball scene has him quite plainly in the entryway. The closet that has always been a closet is now a basement stairs against all logic. This location is once again solidified in the Beer Baron episode where it is also clearly shown as at the end of the entryway hall. Yet in many episodes it is a closet. So maybe the closet is the incorrect location and it's always stairs unless it needs to be a closet? Would make sense. The basement would be right where it needs to be, that is right under the kitchen/rumpus room and would allow for the basement Bilco doors in the right place. Which would also mean there's no basement under the left side of the house at all. But this is now the theory I am going to live with.
So in summation:
Door at end of entryway between upstairs and living room is basement stairs.
Unless needed to be closet as in 3D Halloween episode and a few others.
Basement stairs theory supported by placement of basement under house and location of backyard Bilco doors.
Left side of house has no basement at all. Only right rear quadrant as there is no basement under the garage for safety/foundation reasons.
None of the above layouts are correct, but the colored 2D ones above are the closest if you replace the closet with the basement stairs and remove the stairs from the garage.
Although it's a damn cartoon and I just spent a half hour researching cartoon logic. Then again it is what I do best. Sadly.
There is a strange room where the garage should be.
Don't you mean the car hole?
I'm a French Man.Don't you mean the car hole?
No. See The Springfield Connection.Don't you mean car hold?
You know, I don't remember that room in front of the garage...
I'm joookiiiing
See that makes more sense for it to be there which is why it's odd they put the basement where that closet is for those two episodes. Then again it also makes the basement bigger than we can see and the Bilco doors in an odd place. Though I think we only see those once in Hurricane Neddy and they're in the back yard.In that Treehouse of horror episode where homer repairs the toaster and ends up time travelling, he comes back from the basement into the kitchen.
Can't remember if that door is still in regular episodes, though.

I noticed the other day thow the "Proudly made in the USA"-writing above that control-button plays into the fact that the door gets stuck when the Simpsons try to escape back to the Embassy.

Rewatched it today, and just noticed that
I've been. Here are some pictures I took...
i think it would be fine in this thread to expand a little, maybe even talk about current and more recent episodes, whether you think they're good or bad. as fun as it is to just post pictures and quotes, it wouldn't hurt to promote some discussion either.

It looks like ketchup...it tastes like ketchup...but brother, IT AIN'T KETCHUP!
It's easily in my Top 10 of all-time. Possibly Top 5.Bart sells his soul has to be one of the greatest Simpson episodes ever. The way it goes from hilarious, to deep, to heartwarming is really something else. I remember that even back when I was a kid it left an impression on me, at least much more than I-don't-know-how-many-months of Sunday school ever could.

In terms of pure unadulterated raw consistency, Greg Daniels is the best writer The Simpsons has ever had. Just marvel at this track record.
"Treehouse of Horror IV" ("The Devil and Homer Simpson" segment co-written with Dan McGrath)
"Homer and Apu"
"Secrets of a Successful Marriage"
"Treehouse of Horror V" ("Time and Punishment" segment co-written with Dan McGrath)
"Homer Badman"
"Lisa's Wedding"
"Bart Sells His Soul"
"22 Short Films About Springfield" (supervising writer)
And you can't mention Bart Sells His Soul without the obligatory...

Yea, that's a pretty damn solid list. LOL, Alf. Frankly, every scene is pure gold. Moe's new restaurant subplot could've carried an episode by itself.
This room of course was used this one time for that one scene, and in the isometric image it is correctly placed. You can tell because of where the treehouse really is located outside the house.

My brother and I still quote that "I don't care" line. I rarely ever see it show up when people are talking about the show but it's one of my favorite lines ever.
