An Invasion Of Homer Simpson Clones In Fortnite Bled Into Real Life

The latest event in Fortnite has an army of Homer Simpsons (Homers Simpson?) overrunning the cel-shaded Springfield Island map, with both an animated short episode and a real-life marketing stunt to promote the occasion.

Titled "Multiplidiocy," the short (continuing from last week's donut-fueled event) depicts Bart and Lisa Simpson observing radioactive zombified versions of their dad meandering through the streets before Police Chief Clancy Wiggum mows several of them down with a couple of fancy Fortnite guns.

The short ends with Lisa and Bart attempting to restore their father, only for a giant, nearly naked Homer to materialize before going on a destructive rampage. This is presumably a setup for next week's Fortnite event.


If you happened to be in Santa Monica yesterday, you might have seen an actual army of Homer Simpson clones roaming the streets. Video game artist Del Walker shared a video on X showing what looks like an overwhelming number of people in Homer Simpsons suits idling in public. Luckily, these Homers weren't remotely violent like they are in-game.

"I don't think I can accurately convey how MANY there were," Walker wrote in a follow-up post, attaching another video of these wandering Homers. Even the Peely-fied Professor Frink showed up for the stunt.


I'm guessing the Fortnite x Simpsons event is the reason a literal bus load of Homer's just got dropped off in Santa Monica - without any prior warning. https://t.co/xTbBUsRx73 pic.twitter.com/N7DyXtQUtC

The Simpsons mini-season of Fortnite has been a real treat for fans of the long-running cartoon, though it took until last week for the battle royale to include a good number of Simpsons-themed weapons like Moe's 5 Gun.

For those who aren't into the animated sitcom, Fortnite will go back to normal (whatever "normal" means for this game) when Chapter 7 begins on November 29. Until then, players can enjoy a good d'oh-pamine rush.
