I love really bad knock-off art. The kind you get on fairground rides<\/a>. Or every ice cream van ever. But today I want to focus on a really specific sub-genre of copyright-infringing art: Simpsons bouncy castles.<\/p>\n

I know what you’re thinking.\u00a0How many can there be?<\/em> QUITE A LOT IT TURNS OUT. So, as we’ve done before with Shrek<\/a> and Minion<\/a> cakes, here are a bunch of them unfairly deposited and criticised for your enjoyment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LOL. A strong start for sure. Some weird superhero versions of Bart and Homer that I really like. But the crown achievement (pun intended *wink*) is the INFINITELY STARING BART HEAD on top. Why is that there?! It’d be a perfectly fine Simpsons bouncy castle without a weird disembodied head on top. And it means Bart is over-represented on the castle. Very strange.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At first, I thought this was just another angle of the first bouncy castle. But it’s not! The Homer and Bart designs on the side are reversed and different, there’s a side-slide attachment, and the Bart head is different. But again, WHY IS THERE A (now bandito-masked) BART HEAD ON THE TOP? Nobody needs that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ok this is more like it. A pretty decent Bart, and a real niche Homer representation of Homer from S03E01 ‘Stark Raving Dad’ where he wears a pink shirt to work and ends up sent to a psychiatric hospital. Notice the lack of a weird Bart head.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ok. In addition to Homer and Bart, we’re now bringing Maggie and Santa’s Little Helper into the mix. It’s a real chubby Bart though. And there’s a lot of pollution for a fun piece of bouncy castle art. The whole thing just feels a bit grim. I wouldn’t like to bounce on this castle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OK LET’S GET WEIRD AGAIN. Once more Bart and Homer make up the supporting pillars, but there’s a whole smorgasbord of other characters in the arch. There’s Smithers and Burns, Grandpa and the laziest drawing of Krusty I’ve ever seen. There’s a lovely family mural along the back (hello Marge and Lisa!) and then…. Moe and Mr Burns? Ok, I guess!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

IT IS ANOTHER BART HEAD.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now this is just very cool indeed. Lisa looking Sassy as hell, and Bart rocking a Union Jack skateboard with the coolest looking expression I’ve ever seen. A great, solid castle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ok this isn’t a Simpsons one but it was so good I had to include it anyway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This one has a Bart head so enormous that you can sit inside it. Come on, kids! Come and sit inside Bart Simpson’s mouth! Touch his enormous teeth!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How hard is it to draw an accurate Homer Simpson? When you’re making bouncy castle art, you don’t HAVE to do it from memory. You’re allowed to have a picture to hand while you do it. Mate, you can even blow up a picture and trace it!<\/p>\n

Is this some deliberate attempt to avoid copyright infringement? Is that why all knockoff art is so bad? No, I think the people that do it are just lazy and\/or unskilled.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ok, I’m done. I can’t look any more massive weird Bart heads. I’ve got enough nightmare fuel for a solid month.<\/p>\n

SO WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT?<\/p>\n

Nothing. You’ve just spent a few minutes looking at bad Simpsons bouncy castles. There’s no possible lesson you can take from this. Goodbye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
