MeatCanyon reacts on Twitter to being referenced in The Simpsons, as Bart’s Brain refers to him in a recent episode.
The Simpsons, known for its uncanny ability to reference and satirize contemporary culture, has recently given a nod to American YouTuber MeatCanyon in its episode titled “Bart’s Brain.” This episode marks the eighteenth and final installment of the show’s thirty-fifth season, making it the 768th episode in the series’ extensive history. The reference has left MeatCanyon, whose real name is Hunter August Hancock, in disbelief and delight, as fans quickly spread the word on social media.
Episode Synopsis and the MeatCanyon Reference
In “Bart’s Brain,” Bart Simpson engages in his usual shenanigans by selling his grandfather’s army memorabilia for store credit, which he uses to purchase a jar containing a brain. Naming the brain “Buddy,” Bart becomes attached to it and brings it to school for a project. His fondness for Buddy becomes evident when his teacher tries to confiscate it. Defending his new companion, Bart exclaims: “Buddy hates science, he’s like me. He’s into MeatCanyon videos and doing wrestling moves on the dog and pouring Red Bull on pancakes.”
