| Sept. 17, 2001 - "My name is Bart Simpson, who the hell are
you?" These are the words that changed the animation industry
forever, signifying the entertainment giant's position as the all-time
king of television comedy. Some might even say that putting The
Simpsons in the running for Funniest TV Show made for unfair
competition for the rest of the nominees, but as long as we're looking
for the best, the work of Mr. Matt Groening simply has to be included in
the mix. "Aye, carumba!"
Founded in 1989 by creator Matt Groening, The Simpsons recently
completed its 12th consecutive season and shows no sign of stopping now!
Having become just as much of an American icon as baseball, hotdogs and
apple pie, this animated legend is now recognized worldwide through syndication
and product placement, allowing fans around the world the freedom to Do
the Bartman whenever they desire!
Just Laugh magazine would like to congratulate Matt Groening
and all those involved with the production of The Simpsons not only
for their victory in the 1st Annual Just Laugh Weenie Awards,
but also for a dozen memorable years of animated comedic excellence and
many more to come! |
