The Simpsons Merchandise – Welcome to Springfield
Hardly any show has commented on pop culture so long and so thoroughly as Matt Groening's creation. What began as short bits on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987 became its own show in 1989 – and from that show came an evergreen hit that still runs today and even made it to theaters in 2007 with "The Simpsons Movie." Homer works at the nuclear plant, Marge holds the family together, Bart keeps the school on its toes, Lisa keeps the standards high, and Maggie keeps a firm grip on her pacifier. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed Simpsons merchandise to add a healthy dose of Springfield to your everyday life.
Why have The Simpsons worked for decades?
Because Springfield is a mirror: the show takes aim at family, work, politics, and television alike – and stays remarkably warm-hearted while doing it. Add to that a cast of characters that reaches far beyond the core family: Mr. Burns and his "Excellent," Krusty the Clown, Moe behind the bar, Ned Flanders next door. Many running gags have worked for decades, from the couch gag in the intro to the Duff commercials. That recognizability is exactly what makes the merchandise so rewarding: a Duff logo or a yellow face is enough, and everyone knows what's meant. Whether you got in during the nineties or just yesterday, the quotes land instantly either way.

What Else Goes Well With It?
If you like the drawn take on the world, it's worth a detour to Futurama – Matt Groening's future-set variation on the same humor. Things get considerably rougher at South Park, and interdimensional at Rick and Morty. The Movies & Series theme world delivers the full overview, and if an occasion comes up, the gift ideas overview can help.
