'Making A Murderer' Gets A Mashup With 'The Simpsons,' Result Both Funny And Chilling

New York Magazine's Vulture has created a mashup of the hit Netflix Series "Making a Murderer" with old footage of "The Simpsons."

The site parodied the documentary and instead made Homer Simpson the accused instead of Steven Avery.

Avery was accused, convicted and later exonerated in the attempted murder and alleged sexual assault of Penny Beerntsen in "Making a Murderer."

Vulture wrote of both series: "Outsider. Family man. Occasional troublemaker. Shabby dresser. Repeatedly accused of crimes in a city where the police are far from reliable. All these descriptors fit Steven Avery, the accused murderer at the heart of Netflix's hit documentary series Making a Murderer ... but they could also fit beloved cartoon oaf Homer Simpson."

BGR was all praises for the video, calling it brilliant.

"An A+ idea impressively followed up with some A+ execution," it said, describing the flawlessly executed mashup featuring old episodes of "The Simpsons" and audio from "Making A Murderer."

In the video, Mr. Burns is found murdered and Homer is accused of the crime. He is set free, but again arrested for another murder after two years for the murder of Myrna Bellamy.

"The folks at Vulture really hit it out of the park with this particular effort. By combining some of the themes and more memorable pieces of dialogue from the Netflix docudrama with perfectly curated and recognizable clips from 'The Simpsons,'" BGR added.

Robot 6 also featured the clip, highlighting the cultural phenomenon the "Making a Murderer" and "The Simpsons" have have become. The site called the clip a "note-perfect remix."

Junkee.com described the mashup of "The Simpson" and "Making a Murderer" as both funny and chilling.

"I hope these are just goosebumps all over my body and not a life-threatening rash," Junkee.com wrote.

According to the site, it was natural for viewers to both feel impressed and guilty after watching the video.

"As clever as it is, the mashup is chartering into very real and sensitive waters. Making a Murderer isn't fiction; it's about a real case of a real murder, and two real people are behind bars for life," Junkee said.
