HORROR BARBECUE

Wow, not sure what it means to be on The Simpsons as a cameo but I imagine it's got to be pretty fuckin' cool! The seminal Matt Groening animated sitcom celebrated its landmark 500th episode last night. In the wake of this news, the Hollywood Reporter learns that some famous graffiti artists – some of whom we’ve covered in these pages – will be joining the cast for the March 4 episode.

The episode is called “Exit Through the Kwik-E-Mart,” an obvious homage to Banksy’s Oscar-nominated film from 2010 (Exit Through the Gift Shop), and focuses on Bart’s newfound fascination with street art. Shepard Fairey, Kenny Scharf, Ron English, and Robbie Conal all cameo as the crew who busts Bart and Milhouse in the act of vandalism.

In order to get back at his dad, Bart goes undercover as a graffiti street artist and plasters Homer’s unflattering image all over Springfield. But one night, Bart and Milhouse get caught in the act by established street artists Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Kenny Scharf and Robbie Conal (guest voicing as themselves), and to Bart’s surprise, they invite him to exhibit his satirical artwork in his very own gallery show.
