[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ShadowLegacy [b]Subject Post #5:[/b] [i]Note Beforehand:[/i] Hey, there to everyone reading. It has recently been made clear to me that this thread is also popular through-out the day and not just when I am around. Many people have been asking questions and I will TRY to answer most of them when I get back. The reason I am not around when some of you are is because I have school, work, study etc and whenever I'm just bored I tend to come on here and talk to the Flood. I am Australian, so if you are American or from another country there is little chance that you will see me on (maybe on weekends). But during your day (when you are at school/work) I'm most likely on answering questions and discussing other myths. Anyway, sorry for that little note. I believe there was some person who said something along the lines of "Fishing for a pinned topic" or something like that. Well, basically, a top forum topic WOULD be nice but I'm not aiming for it. I actually enjoy researching and writing about these interesting myths. And I will most likely keep doing it until I run out of things to write about. And I post it here so everyone else can have the chance to see and discuss it in one simple place. Anyway, with out further ado. I present to you; SUBJECT POST #5. [quote][/quote] [b]Subject #006: [i]Dead Bart[/i][/b] Dead Bart (or I have seen it be called Dead Bort before) is a very hard subject to follow or research (like Squidward's Suicide) as not much is known about it. Basically, it depicts Bart dying in a pretty gruesome death and then for the remainder of the show the Simpsons family is mourning over the death. Oh and a hyper-"realistic" version of Bart's dead corpse is features several times! [i]What is Dead Bart?[/i] ^ That is a very good question. What is Dead Bart? I have been searching and searching for any other information on Dead Bart that I could by but, alas, I could not find a single strand of information that isn't in the following creepy-pasta. So, what I am going to do is post the creepy-pasta and then analyse it after. So, here is the creepy-pasta; You know how Fox has a weird way of counting Simpsons episodes? They refuse to count a couple of them, making the amount of episodes inconsistent. The reason for this is a lost episode from season 1. Finding details about this missing episode is difficult, no one who was working on the show at the time likes to talk about it. From what has been pieced together, the lost episode was written entirely by Matt Groening. During production of the first season, Matt started to act strangely. He was very quiet, seemed nervous and morbid. Mentioning this to anyone who was present results in them getting very angry, and forbidding you to ever mention it to Matt. I first heard of it at an event where David Silverman was speaking. Someone in the crowd asked about the episode, and Silverman simply left the stage, ending the presentation hours early. The episode's production number was 7G06, the title was Dead Bart. The episode labeled 7G06, Moaning Lisa, was made later and given Dead Bart's production code to hide the latter's existence. In addition to getting angry, asking anyone who was on the show about this will cause them to do everything they can to stop you from directly communicating with Matt Groening. At a fan event, I managed to follow him after he spoke to the crowd, and eventually had a chance to talk to him alone as he was leaving the building. He didn't seem upset that I had followed him, probably expected a typical encounter with an obsessive fan. When I mentioned the lost episode though, all color drained from his face and he started trembling. When I asked him if he could tell me any details, he sounded like he was on the verge of tears. He grabbed a piece of paper, wrote something on it, and handed it to me. He begged me never to mention the episode again. The piece of paper had a website address on it, I would rather not say what it was, for reasons you'll see in a second. I entered the address into my browser, and I came to a site that was completely black, except for a line of yellow text, a download link. I clicked on it, and a file started downloading. Once the file was downloaded, my computer went crazy, it was the worst virus I had ever seen. System restore didn't work, the entire computer had to be rebooted. Before doing this though, I copied the file onto a CD. I tried to open it on my now empty computer, and as I suspected, there was an episode of The Simpsons on it. The episode started off like any other episode, but had very poor quality animation. If you've seen the original animation for Some Enchanted Evening, it was similar, but less stable. The first act was fairly normal, but the way the characters acted was a little off. Homer seemed angrier, Marge seemed depressed, Lisa seemed anxious, Bart seemed to have genuine anger and hatred for his parents. The episode was about the Simpsons going on a plane trip, near the end of the first act, the plane was taking off. Bart was fooling around, as you'd expect. However, as the plane was about 50 feet off the ground, Bart broke a window on the plane and was sucked out. At the beginning of the series, Matt had an idea that the animated style of the Simpsons' world represented life, and that death turned things more realistic. This was used in this episode. The picture of Bart's corpse was barely recognizable, they took full advantage of it not having to move, and made an almost photo-realistic drawing of his dead body. Act one ended with the shot of Bart's corpse. When act two started, Homer, Marge, and Lisa were sitting at their table, crying. The crying went on and on, it got more pained, and sounded more realistic, better acting than you would think possible. The animation started to decay even more as they cried, and you could hear murmuring in the background. The characters could barely be made out, they were stretching and blurring, they looked like deformed shadows with random bright colors thrown on them. There were faces looking in the window, flashing in and out so you were never sure what they looked like. This crying went on for all of act two. Act three opened with a title card saying one year had passed. Homer, Marge, and Lisa were skeletally thin, and still sitting at the table. There was no sign of Maggie or the pets. They decided to visit Bart's grave. Springfield was completely deserted, and as they walked to the cemetery the houses became more and more decrepit. They all looked abandoned. When they got to the grave, Bart's body was just lying in front of his tombstone, looking just like it did at the end of act one. The family started crying again. Eventually they stopped, and just stared at Bart's body. The camera zoomed in on Homer's face. According to summaries, Homer tells a joke at this part, but it isn't audible in the version I saw, you can't tell what Homer is saying. The view zoomed out as the episode came to a close. The tombstones in the background had the names of every Simpsons guest star on them. Some that no one had heard of in 1989, some that haven't been on the show yet. All of them had death dates on them. For guests who died since, like Michael Jackson and George Harrison, the dates were when they would die. The credits were completely silent, and seemed handwritten. The final image was the Simpson family on their couch, like in the intros, but all drawn in hyper realistic, lifeless style of Bart's corpse. A thought occurred to me after seeing the episode for the first time, you could try to use the tombstones to predict the death of living Simpsons guest stars, but there's something odd about most of the ones who haven't died yet. All of their deaths are listed as the same date. [b]End of Creepypasta![/b] And, that's it. Creepy-Pasta over. So, shall we start analyzing? Sure, why not. Okay, firstly the creepy-pasta starts off with an unknown author stating that is it very hard to find information on this particular tape as no one on the show or cast likes talking about it. He also states it was written entirely by Matt Groening. Then he explains how he got the tape from Matt Groening. This is extremely unlikely as two things would have most likely happened. 1. Matt Groening would have been escorted from the building. I doubt he would ever be alone at a fan event. 2. The manner in which Matt just gives it all up is extremely unlikely. A download from a random site? I don't think so. Also, unsafe download bit made me lol incredibly hard. Seriously. Then he goes on to explain how the video starts and everything. Basically the plotline of the story. How Bart dies, the mourning of Bart. I don't really have a problem with this as it is generally put together in well thought out evil way. Until the end. This is where I just knew it was fake. "All of their deaths are listed as the same date." I don't know about you but I think the author was trying to scare people believing into the whole dooms-day theory. Also, him mentioning Michael Jackson's death means this was created AFTER his death. So, in the last three years at least. I have also heard many people say this originated on 4chan which is a major possibility.
