‘The Simpsons’ Give “Dear Class of 2020” Commencement Speech

As originally published by Josiah Hughes on Exclaim!

The Simpsons have predicted plenty of modern life, so it only makes sense that they’d deliver a commencement speech for the Class of 2020.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, given their record with race), they’re not timely enough to engage with the current Black Lives Matter uprising happening around the world. Instead, this brief clip is all about the coronavirus.

Uploaded as part of YouTube’s “Dear Class of 2020” series, the clip sees Marge stress about cooking, Lisa take comfort in the fact that she has no friends and Homer celebrate day-drinking. Perhaps most succinct of all is Bart, who just moons us all.

Watch the Simpsons deliver their 2020 address below.

Disney’s The Simpsons Supercuts Are Just More Markers on Fox’s Grave

The Simpsons, in its best days and long after, has always been pop-culture savvy.
