Western Animated Comedy timeline

Does the future have to be exactly 1000 years after the Simpsons events in the crossover? If so, I can always just move that episode to later in the timeline, though I'll definitely think about including Futurama

Well I just rewatched the episode a bit and Fry's dog Seymour appears to be still alive (despite the time points not really matching considering everyone in the Futurama segments still have average human skin colors and not all yellow ones)

I guess I can make the episode earlier… (getting Futurama in is such a hastle, lol)

Also considering that in the end of the episode Bender stays in the past in the family's basement and is seen in a later episode would imply that he's now in the past, which doesn't appear to match with how he's still in the future and frozen in time along with everyone else

Guess either the episode goes earlier, or the future segments aren't 1000 years in the future

I usually assume these things sort themselves out off-screen.

Family Guy and American Dad! did a crossover special.
Beavis and Butt-Head had a cameo in Family Guy.
South Park and Simpsons had crossovers.
Daria cameoed in Beavis and Butt-Head.
Homer Simpson appears in a few Duckman episodes.
Jay Sherman from The Critic is a judge in "A Star is Born" (Simpsons).
Thurgood Stubbs from The PJs appears in a Simpsons episode, and in one episode there's a milk carton with Fry's face on it. Futurama also had a few instances of the PJ manhole cover appearing.
Dr. Katz appears on South Park, with the same voice actor (they also did Sesame Street and Muppets, and due to the nature of the show they could very well be canon, but that opens up a whole other can of worms).
King of the Hill has crossed over with The Simpsons, and has numerous references to a few other shows on the timeline

Thanks!

also brian and stewie are technically the creators of the universe due to the events shown in the show itself

Do elaborate

 

[stphylcccs]

I thought the universe was just inside a lamp (or someone's dreams?)

 

[myusernameyes]

Do elaborate

In the episode "The Big Bang Theory", Brian and Stewie accidentally travel to the beginning of the universe after their time machine breaks and the energy generated from its reactivation creates what is now known as the big bang

What are you going to do with alternate universe episodes or the Treehouse of Horror episodes?

 

[stphylcccs]

Treehouse of Horror, I'm probably just gonna leave out entirely. Alternate universe episodes? I guess I'll just put [Alternate Universe] after them as a footnote

 

[stphylcccs]

I am including the first Treehouse of Horror, though. That's literally just Bart and Lisa telling scary stories

 

[iceman109]

What about the Fortnite shorts and A Serious Flanders

 

[stphylcccs]

I'll have to look into them. I'm gonna include most shorts (yes, even the Disney+ ones, it's just parody so it works) though since the show probably won't acknowledge its connection to Fortnite other than Easter eggs/jokes, I probably won't include those shorts. Again, I'd have to look into them

I'm not using that, as it's glaringly biased. The Simpsons fandom wiki is pretty bad as a whole, TBH

The Fortnite short is very much canon if you look into it. It's pretty much just a regular Simpsons short that explains why there's a Simpsons island in Fortnite. There's the same voice actors from the show involved. It's the same animated style.

 

[stphylcccs]

A lot of fandoms (not the website, the fanbase themselves) just assume things aren't canon, which then gets the "considered non-canon" title, which is stupid, as there's no actual reason to assume it's not canon. Freddy's Nightmares, Leatherface, the Saw video games, the majority of tie-in comics, I could go on, it'll get referenced as "considered non-canon" in fandoms, which devolves to "not canon" due to ignorance

It was more that the show would contradict it. Though, I don't follow Fortnite much. I presume there's playable Simpsons characters? Who wouldn't just not show up in the show (probably). If the show implies the connection though (or I'm just completely mistaken, I will review the shorts when I get home) I'll add them

The short shows the Simpsons reality merging with the Fortnite island. The playable characters are just skins, they aren't the real versions.

Essentially, all of our playablw characters are snapshots of the real ones... clones that continue to exist even when the real versions leave. The real versions of these characters show up on the map as people you can talk to and in events sometimes. As far as The Simpsons is concerned, I think you can get away with including only the short with a [Reality: 783] and [Reality: UN-138] designation.

I'd include Treehouse of Horror too, but note them as alternate realities.

 

[stphylcccs]

I have some free time, so I'm watching the shorts now. They seem fine? I'll probably add them when I come back to this

 

[stphylcccs]

I'll think about including Treehouse of Horror… I know there was one that continued a storyline about Maggie being born from Marge and an alien in a previous ToH, so I might just make them their own sections on the thread

 

[Pro Bot]

That works, too.

 

[stphylcccs]

The Fortnite shorts seem fine, I'll probably include them

 

[iceman109]

Is it possible that you could include some supernatural segments in Treehouse of Horror as part of the regular universe?

 

[stphylcccs]

I feel it's a general rule of thumb that Treehouse of Horror episodes aren't canon, so the writers can have more creativity, but I guess I could include non-contradictory segments… again, I'll think about it

 

[Pro Bot]

I'd rather toss them all as separate personally, but it's up to you. I consider it part of The Simpsons' multiverse.

 

[iceman109]

What about the Star Wars shorts?
