This is actually really good. I don’t know who came up with the concept, but it basically imagines that The Simpsons are an actual real life family and the changes that they go through over a 34 year period as they all grow and age.

The catch is though that it’s told through the medium of Christmas cards. This probably isn’t so much of a thing now as it used to be, but families used to send pictures of themselves as their Christmas cards along with updates about their family life. I always thought these were useless and stupid, but The Simpsons actually know how to do it so it’s really funny and entertaining and actually tells a pretty good story.

You know what they say – a picture tells a thousand words.
