rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Hi, I'm a Simpsons writer (come to our D23 panel tomorrow at 1:30!) I'm co-hosting with my (adult) son a neurodivergent meetup tomorrow, Friday, at 4:00.pm. All are welcome if you have interest! Here's our flyer. #D23 #D23Expo #D23Events 220 2
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Voicing Gabriel Razelton, the great Robert Smigel, legendary comedy writer and the man whose hand and voice is inside Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. 020 2
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/05/2025We wanted Rick Steves' dreamland to be designed in the style of proto-surrealist Italian artist Giorgio de Chirico. 060 6
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/05/2025Squeaky-Voiced Teen's promposal. @thesimpsons 030 3
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/02/2025A lot of the lyrics of this hilarious song just poured out of Dan Castellaneta in the writers room the day we were working on it. Plus he sings it too! 061 6
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Rough estimates of value. Tiffany lamp, if unbroken: $300,000. Baseball cards -- Honus Wagner: 7.5 million, Babe Ruth: $7,000, Ty Cobb: $504,000 080 8
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Come on, Lisa, "Make like a petri and dish!" 060 6
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/02/2025I had sweaters made for all our writers that had the "Little Moose Club" logo along with an image of one of the mini moose. So far not a single person has asked any of us what the logo is about. 070 7
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Great music in this episode from the great @karatalve 070 7
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Lisa inhabiting the body of her ancestor Edith. I love the look of this show, directed by the hugely talented Michael Polcino. 170 7
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Sometimes for table reads we write "This is a real thing" about something in the show that people might not have heard of. The EMDR tappers are a good example -- real therapy tools. I can only assume they'll also make you time travel. 050 5
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Dr. Chaplet is named for (and designed after) the character Dodo Chaplet in the 1960's Dr. Who. This is one of about two time travel Easter eggs in the show! @thesimpsons 34112 41
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 12/02/2025"The Past and the Furious," an episode I wrote and was co-runner on, premieres today on Disney+! Lisa actually travels back in time, and here to kick it off is a freeze frame screen from the opening. My favorite category: "Fan Infuriators." @TheSimpsons 0100 10
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 01/02/2025My next episode of The Simpsons premieres on Feb. 12th, an original just for Disney+! Lisa travels back in time and alters the course of history! 2121 12
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024We had various designs of Burns' Vermeer, and ultimately decided the nose ring should closely resemble the original's earring.@thesimpsons 070 7
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Wine Court inspired by the crazy French trial in the terrific movie Anatomy of a Fall. That movie didn't have a bored-looking courtroom cat in a turtleneck, but should have @thesimpsons 091 9
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024The guy on the far right designed to look like @jlazebnik. The animation camera adds 10 pounds. @thesimpsons 0123 12
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Robert Parker, on the right, inventor of the famous 100 point wine rating scale, voiced himself. I give his performance a 100. See how he judged Andrew Lloyd Webber (on the left) @TheSimpsons 060 6
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Robin Hood-style Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Milhouse, Ralph, Nelson, Hubert Wong, Marge and Smithers. Doesn't get a lot cuter than this. @TheSimpsons 283 8
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Our dream sequence homage to the Disney 1973 feature "Robin Hood." Gabe DeFrancesco and his animation did an incredible job. @TheSimpsons 4217 21
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Did you know there's a Sp ingfield in 26 states? We're not saying where this one is. @TheSimpsons 160 6
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024"Eat your million dollar stew!" Is smushing worse than strangling? I don't think so. (Also I don't think the stew is hot at this point.) @TheSimpsons 050 5
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Important to keep your original Poochy cel in your home safe. Did you know The Simpsons doesn't use actual cels anymore? So if you've bought an old one it's the best investment you ever made I assume. @thesimpsons 050 5
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Homer angry for the microwave taking so long to heat up his taquito is how I look when my EV takes too long to start up.@TheSimpsons 040 4
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Smithers' photo wall indicates that he's still on good terms with ex-boyfriend Michael de Graaf (voiced by Victor Garber), from my and Johnny's other episode "Portrait of a Lackey on Fire." @thesimpsons 050 5
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Simpsons live now PST! Burns' jet looks like a Bombardier Challenger 350, which burns 300 gallons/hour. But takeoff uses more fuel. So even though it's a super short flight, I'm going to say taking out Burns trash uses about 30 gallons of jet fuel. Love to be corrected though! @thesimpsons 130 3
rlazebnik.bsky.social @rlazebnik.bsky.social · 29/12/2024Reading list for tonight's new Simpsons episode (I think all cartoons should come with reading lists): The Billionaire's Vinegar (great book) by @benjwallace. 060 6
