About
Weeb Simpsons is a Novelty Twitter Account which pairs screengrabs of The Simpsons with text that makes the characters appear to be enthusiastic otaku. In two weeks, the account has gained tens of thousands of followers and media attention. The images are made with Frinkiac.[3]
Origin
The first tweet[2] on the @WeebSImpsons[1] account was posted September 16th, 2017 with the text "However, Lisa gets an 'A' for her Hol Horse Cosplay." The tweet has gained over 1,300 retweets and 2,600 likes (shown below).
Spread
The account's most popular tweet[4] was also posted on the 16th. It features Sideshow Bob and his brother Cecil discussing My Hero Academia. Bob subtly demonstrates his superiority by referring to the show by its Japanese title, "Boku No Hero Academia". That tweet gained over 11,000 retweets and 24,000 likes (shown below, left). Another popular post features a classic Simpsons scene crossed with the recent Boruto's Dad controversy, gaining over 3,400 retweets (shown below, right).
