On Sunday evening that the latest episode of The Simpsons made special references to NFTs and blockchain. In the Halloween special episode of the iconic animated series, "Treehouse of Horror 34", the show repeatedly mentioned the overvaluation of NFTs on the blockchain in the first chapter titled "Wild Barts Can't Be Tokens". In this episode, Marge fights on the blockchain to rescue Bart, who has now become an NFT, and the city mayor announces that the Springfield Art Museum will be digitized. The episode also features many blue-chip NFTs (such as Beeple, Bored Ape Yacht Club) and second-tier PFPs, which are proven to be almost worthless. Noah Bolanowski, a consultant at the IRL NFT gallery Crypt Gallery, analyzed how the show depicted NFTs on the X platform, saying, "I like the emphasis on art in this episode, where PFPs are portrayed as lowly people and art is placed in a noble position." This episode heavily references last year's NFT crash, and this is not the first time that cryptocurrency (or NFTs) has appeared on The Simpsons.
