My favourite piece of Internet history
(lemmy.ml)
I think Bobson Dugnutt is my favourite.
It is an awesome name
What a crazy deep cut of an easter egg. i'm impressed anyone even noticed this. That's awesome!
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.

It's on Hulu rn, since it's the newest season.
Cool my buddy Onsen Sweemey is listed there
I forgot about Bobson Dognutt!
Surely the most American name on there!
Genuinely sounds super Texas to this northern european.
Somehow this is the most realistic out of all these

Every time I see this, I always remind people the full set of names is online.
Making this must have been exhausting. I have a hard enough time coming up with one name in an RPG. I want to hear the story of the guy who had to come up with all of this.
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).

Straight out of republican voting ballots.
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.
Yeah, a lot of them seem to be real names with a couple of letters switched, added or removed.
I apologise to my future son, Scott Dourque.
Todd Bonzalez is peak comedy.
This looks like what would happen if you had a real set of American names, but then played a long game of telephone with people that have increasingly thick accents.
"Raul", "Rortugal"
The man does not understand the letter P.
It confuses him, it frightens him.
To be fair, Raul is an actual Hispanic name. Rortugal has no excuse though lol
Yeah actual baseball players have names way weirder than these.
Odrisamer Despaigne.
Now check this out: he played for the San Diego Padres, and his name contains all the letters needed to spell out "San Diego Padres".
MCRLWAIN hurts my brain to pronounce
Sleeve McDichael!
As in Sleve "Morgo" McDichael?
is Scott Dourque just a fancy way of saying Scott Dork lol?
This shit is gold. Thanks, OP.
Me and the rest is the Bonzales family would thank you for not making fun
I've seen this so many times but the name Shown gets me every time.. it's fucking classic
Funny how the nationalities don't go together. Italian/Jewish names mixed in with latino last names.
If you told me this was a minor league hockey squad, I would believe you.
