Simpsons Confirms Clone Theory of Iconic Character

by

In recent seasons, The Simpsons has undergone significant changes in its characters, and the latest episode of Season 36, which aired this Spring, continued this trend by validating one of the craziest theories fans have been pondering for years. Each new episode in this season has brought intriguing revelations about the characters, not just members of the Simpson family but also several residents of Springfield. These developments even touch upon jokes that fans have been making about the show throughout its history.

Since “Lisa the Boy Scout” was brought up in Season 34, The Simpsons has been openly acknowledging various fan theories and jokes about the show. This season alone has seen direct references to Eddie’s resemblance to Ralph Wiggum’s real father, which was first mentioned in that episode, and it has now gone a step further by revealing that there are indeed multiple Mafia bosses, or Wise Guys, in Springfield, as three of them were shown simultaneously.

There Really Are Multiple Raphaels in Springfield

Raphael, who goes by “The Store Clerk” or “Wise Guy” among fans, is frequently spotted juggling various service jobs throughout town and occasionally throws in a witty remark directed at whoever he’s conversing with. This has led to a humorous speculation among viewers that it’s impossible for one person to be employed at all these places simultaneously, and it seems that the creators of The Simpsons share this skepticism. Although his role was explained in the “Lisa the Boy Scout” episode, that incident doesn’t strictly fall within the main storyline of the series.

Contrary to what might be assumed, the Season 36 episode titled “Abe League of Their Moe” isn’t about a single Raphael peddling goods at a Springfield Isotopes game. Instead, three distinct Raphaels are seen selling upscale snacks, which is unusual given the team’s prominence in that particular episode. The humor lies in the fact that even Grampa and Bart find it peculiar to see multiple Raphaels working together at once, thereby confirming that there are indeed more than one of these wise guys.

Why “Lisa the Boy Scout” Is So Important

If you missed the Season 34 episode titled “Lisa the Boy Scout,” it was a unique event where fictitious hackers breached The Simpsons’ archives, revealing a trove of unseen scenes and storylines that didn’t air before. This provided an opportunity to explore some outrageous new concepts, such as challenging long-held theories about characters like Ralph’s father, and introducing a twist where the character Wise Guy gave birth to several clones of himself in a way reminiscent of aliens.

Originally, the idea of multiple Raphaels working various jobs in Springfield was an unofficial, comedic concept within The Simpsons’ universe. However, it has since become a reality as confirmed by the creators. While these Raphaels aren’t necessarily insect-like aliens like depicted in the episode, it’s now clear that there are indeed numerous versions of this character working throughout Springfield. This serves as another amusing example of how The Simpsons has evolved over time, making it essential for longtime fans to stay tuned.
