Boing Boing reports that America’s longest-running animated series, the Simpsons has obviously gone through a few changes since its debut in 1989, with the most recent of these changes coming in the form of the recasting of Marge’s hairdresser, Julio who was originally voiced by Hank Azaria but who will now be voiced by Tony Rodriguez.
Much as the documentary
The Problem with Apu shed light on the negative impact Azaria’s characterization of the character has had on Indian Americans, the supercut exhaustively compiled every gay joke made in the 31-year history of the Emmy-winning series and like many things viewed through a more modern lens, some of the lines are cringe-worthy.
The Apu flap led the long-running series to declare it will no longer employ white actors to voice non-white characters, breaking with the tradition of Azaria and
Harry Shearer voicing show characters of every color. Azaria has since apologized for his part in the Apu controversy.
