As this is happening, several notable Simpsons characters pass by the window in the background, spouting zany one-liners and hilarious quips before continuing on and letting the family grieve in peace. This happens for the entire act, and as it gets further in, Homers begins to snore louder and louder.
In Act 3, The Simpsons are now skeletal caricatures. Maggie and the pets had taken a bus to Las Vegas. The remaining members of the family pay a trip to the cemetery. When they step outside, it becomes clear that Springfield is currently celebrating Halloween and the family has been crying for years. They stroll to the cemetery and look at Bart's grave. Everybody at the funeral services was too lazy to actually bury Bart's body, so it's been sitting on his grave for the past years rotting away and leaving an awful smell.
At the beginning of the series, Matt wanted the show to represent life and all its shortcomings. That's why he made the Tracey Ullman shorts, because he knew that doing so would make life shackle him to a perpetual eternity of sitcom suffering. The Simpsons stand over the grave for a few minutes. Homer then makes a joke so horribly offensive and insensitive that I forced myself to forget it. The camera then pans over the rest of the graves in the cemetery. Strangely enough, they all list the names of Simpsons characters. What's even more odd is that they all have the same date of death, that being December 21, 2012. Obviously that date has passed, and thus the ominous and disturbing message that the world and everything on it would truly end via an ancient Mayan prophecy falls flat and is ultimately all for not. Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
My computer then bled hyper realistic blood and exploded.
