    I was impressed that the Simpsons Death Note parody used some of these names. That’s a super obscure reference!

      Simpsons Death Note parody

      stupid question but shouldn’t this be on disney+ ? I can’t find any of the treehouse of horrors…

        It’s this season, #34, episode 6. If not Disney+, it’s probably on Hulu. There’s also an excellent Westworld parody that same episode that makes it easily the best Simpsons episode made in a very long time.

        If you don’t have Hulu, you can find it on himovies.

          Newer Simpsons has actually been really good. Poorhouse Rock was a shockingly good episode about how lucky Homer was economically and how fucked Bart is nowadays.

        What I’ve found helps me is picking three or four character traits I’m going to roleplay and run them through a translator twice (ex. English -> Hawaiian-> Czech turns ‘tenacious’ into věrnost. Then I’d judge how badly I’d pronounce it and English-ify it a little to Verno or Varnost)

        It helps to pick languages that have a few language barriers between where they originated. Like English -> German doesn’t work because they share a common root language and half of German speaks English as a second language now.

          I use a variation of this to write music rounds for quizzes. Run lyrics through a translator then back to English and get people to name the song. My last round was called Korea Change (i.e I translated it to Korean and back).

    At least some of these names have to be knockoffs of actual athletes, right? For example, he’s no “Sleve McDichael”, but Steve McMichael was a player for the Greenbay Packers football team when this game came out.
