The season has been an enormous hit for Epic, and every week in November, Epic and Disney (the homeowners of The Simpsons) have printed new animated Simpsons quick telling a narrative of what occurs when Fortnite collides with the longest-running sitcom in history. And the season’s subsequent replace entails lots of Homers, with a few of them spilling into our actuality.
On November 18, just a few dozen individuals sporting Homer Simpson costumes invaded the Promenade in Santa Monica, California. You’ll be able to see what that appears like within the video uploaded by Santa Monica Closeup on YouTube earlier as we speak. You’ll additionally spot a Peely-fied model of Professor Frink, too. This new Fortnite season is bizarre.
As reported by Discussing Film on Twitter, the horde of Homers was additionally noticed at a donut store within the space, the place they then proceeded to take it over and trigger chaos. I assume the homeowners gave permission and had been paid, however think about being a random particular person strolling in there for some espresso and a glazed donut and working face-first into 12 Homer mascots ripping the place aside.
The cloned Homers are a part of the subsequent replace for Fortnite, as seen within the quick under, and can begin showing within the sport on November 19. And Epic, please cease including character skins primarily based on Simpsons characters. I solely have a lot cash.
