History WebVideo / DarkSimpsons

* FramingTheGuiltyParty: In "Homer Simpson Was Framed", Homer is not arrested for abusing Bart, but for shooting Mr. Burns, which was actually shot by [[spoiler:Leon Kompowsky to have the boy all for himself]].

* FullyAutomaticClipShow: The ''Dark Simpsons Mysteries'' episode "Lisa the NOT So Vegetarian" has a montage of five back-to-back clips of Lisa vocalizing her being a vegetarian.

* HateSink: A ''lot'' of characters will undergo AdaptationalVillainy in a video for the sake of getting the audience to hate them, such as Mr. Burns in "Mr. Burns Violates Bart", and Chief Wiggum in the webcomic "Wiggum of Madness" and its related videos.

* HateSink: A ''lot'' of characters will undergo AdaptationalVillainy in a video for the sake of getting the audience to hate them, such as Chief Wiggum in the webcomic "Wiggum of Madness" and its related videos.

* ComingOutStory: One comic has Marge looking at men's porn magazines and becomes a lesbian, she leaves Homer to be with Laura Powers. There's also the video "Marge Is Gay", which begins with Homer coming home to find Marge kissing Lindsey Naegle.

'''Grampa Simpson:''' ''(stands up)'' [[PreAsskickingOneLiner Now, hold on just one minute!]] ''([shoots Mr. Burns in the chest)''

* FinaglesLaw: The very trope that gives ''Dark Simpsons'' its identity. If something bad can happen to the Simpsons cast or anyone else, it will, and the consequences of it will absolutely be taken to their LogicalExtreme.

* ATeamFiring: {{Implied|Trope}} in "Lisa Simpson Gets Bullied", where Lisa Simpson attempts to instigate a school shooting, but no characters are shown to be shot. {{Justified|Trope}}, given that she's a little girl trying to handle a powerful, heavy weapon with no experience in handling firearms.

* AskAStupidQuestion / PreAsskickingOneLiner: A combination of both occurs towards the end of "Coronavirus Hits the Simpsons", when Mr. Burns shows up at Town Hall:
-->'''Mr. Burns:''' Oh, you all ''talk'' big, but who here... has the guts to stop me?\\
'''Grampa Simpson:''' ''[stands up]'' Now, hold on just one minute! ''[shoots Mr. Burns in the chest]''
* ATeamFiring: {{Implied|Trope}} in "Lisa Simpson Gets Bullied", where Lisa Simpson attempts to instigate a school shooting, but no characters are shown to be shot. {{Justified|Trope}}, given that she's a little girl trying to handle a powerful, heavy weapon with no experience in handling firearms.

** Whereas in canon he could never get one over the Simpsons, Sideshow Bob manages to score a few moments of victory within the ''Dark Simpsons'', such as "Homer Simpson vs. Sideshow Bob" and "Sideshow Bob Is Released From Prison". This trope will also happen wherever Sideshow Cecil manages to do what Bob never could: kill Bart Simpson.

* TheBadGuysAreCops: Chief Wiggum and the rest of the policemen are at their worst in "Wiggum of Madness" comic and its video remake "Homer at the Bat", where they frame Homer for a murder Wiggum did over losing to a softball game. Its minisode remake, "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct", expands on this video by having them taze Homer, cut his brakes, and constantly wait outside of his house for him to come out.

** Sideshow Bob does have a few moments of victory too, in examples such as "Homer Simpson vs. Sideshow Bob" and "Sideshow Bob Is Released From Prison". This trope will also happen wherever Sideshow Cecil manages to do what Bob never could: kill Bart Simpson.
** Some other videos also have this trope too, mostly for the character whom name appears in a video title, in which he/she takes an antagonist role. Notable examples are "Moe and Homer Face Off", "Mr. Burns Violates Bart", "Homer's Boring Day", "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct" and "Krusty to the Rescue."
* BaitAndSwitch:
** Every single episode is designed to look like a normal ''Simpsons'' clip, often referencing a single moment from an episode and featuring a screenshot from said episode. The actual content is ''very'' [[DarkerAndEdgier different]].

* BreatherEpisode: "Homer's Afraid of Sock Puppets" is arguably ''the'' lightest episode of "Dark Simpsons": After learning about Homer's phobia, Bart decides to scare him in the middle of the night with a sock puppet, and laughs as Homer screams in fear. [[LighterAndSofter The end.]]

* FinaglesLaw: The very trope that gives ''Dark Simpsons'' its identity. If something bad can happen to the Simpsons cast, it will, and the consequences of it will absolutely be taken to their LogicalExtreme.

* HateSink: Chief Wiggum (and all the Springfield Police by default) in "Wiggum of Madness": [[spoiler: he killed Ned and planted the gun under Homer's car so he can frame Homer for murder and later execute him, all because Homer mocked him for losing a softball game. While Marge mourns over the death of her husband the whole police force starts laughing at her]]. The "Homer at the Bat" parody expands on this comic. [[spoiler:After Homer mocked Wiggum on a softball game, he broke one of Homer's taillights, and killed the whole Flanders family, just before he frames Homer for murder]]. "Chief Wiggum's Police Misconduct" expands on this video. [[spoiler:Between the taillight and Flanders scenes, Wiggum electrocutes Homer with a taser, spies on the Simpsons (making Homer unable to get out of his house for many weeks of paranoia) and cuts Homer's brakes. After the rest of the events of the original video play out, Marge eventually sends the police a threat, so they go to her house and kill her. And they laugh again.]] Him ending up being a KarmaHoudini at the end of the comic and these videos made many users wish he suffers a horrible fate in a future video.

** Bart has this reaction each time he meets Michael Jackson

* OpenMindedParent: Marge in "Lisa's New Girlfriend". She was surprised to see that Lisa is attracted to women, but then gives her a heart-to-heart and tells her there's nothing wrong with being a lesbian as long as two people are in love. Her openmindedness is... not rewared, to say the least.

** "Who Plowed Bart Simpson?": The culprit behind sexually assaulting and binding Bart to a pole nude in public-[[spoiler:Krusty the Clown]]- is ultimately caught and arrested. However, [[spoiler:Krusty is now a BrokenPedestral to all of Springfield- especially Bart, who sadly watches on as all Krusty merchandise is publicly burned.]]

* AdaptationalContextChange:
** The general idea of the series, taking moments and clips from ''The Simpsons'' and giving them a darker context.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS24E5PennyWiseguys Penny-Wiseguys]]", Homer's AnvilOnHead moment happens apropos of nothing and is [[PlayedForLaughs just a throwaway gag]]. In "Homer Simpson vs. Sideshow Bob", however, it is intregated into the plot -- Sideshow Bob drops the anvil on Homer as revenge for thwarting his attempt at murdering Bart earlier that year.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E14BrotherFromTheSamePlanet Brother from the Same Planet]]", Marge helps Lisa break her habit of calling an expensive hotline, at one point telling her, "Lisa, the only way you'll lick this is one day at a time." In "Marge Gets Her Sax Blown", she uses the exact same line while [[spoiler:having sex with Lisa]].
** During [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS14E5HelterShelter the Simpsons' VIP experience at a hockey game]], Homer's mocking of the people below him causes Moe, Barney and Otto to form a human tower to try and get to him, only for Homer to dump a pot of hot fudge on them in response. In both versions of "Hot Fudge", [[spoiler:the scene of Homer grabbing the pot is replaced of footage of him dropping his pants, and then loudly grunting and straining, [[ToiletHumor with the rest of the scene unchanged]]]].
** In "Black Eyed, Please", Ned's line "Come on, Homer! I'm insisting on a fisting!" meant that Ned wanted Homer to punch him because he punched Homer earlier in a fit of rage, regretted it, and [[MakesUsEven wanted things to be even between them]]. In "Ned Is Lonely", when Ned says the line, it's because he was lonely without Maude and wanted Homer to, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisting well...]]

''Dark Simpsons'' is a parody series that takes clips from various episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and strings them together to tell stories that are (usually) much darker than the source material, with material such as death, homicide/murder, revenge, tragedy, sex, incest, etc., all with FinaglesLaw [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] and things happening more realistically. It heavily relies on BlackComedy. The channel's goal is to make the most ridiculous, dark, and outrageous contents possible with those clips. The main website, along with the comics, can be accessed through [[http://www.darksimpsons.com/ this link]]. The two Website/YouTube channels can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLmtv4GfnEBSzxT5DNnOaEQ here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc9brmsJf8eCIeNZ0qh5QNg here]]. There is also a companion channel named [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQxRh_kHbRogaO_CM7Llh3g Sour Simpsons]].

%%* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Lenny Leonard in Not Lenny.

** Artie Ziff didn't get any comeuppance in the minisode "Marge's New Lover" for [[spoiler:installing an CCTV in a shower in the Simpsons' bathroom to spy on Marge and Homer, killing Homer in a hot tub (which cause the Simpsons family to move to a motel to live with Selma and Velma due to financial issues) in order to get an advantage to have sex with Marge and later marry her.]]

* ADateWithRosiePalms: After videotaping Flanders in "Stupid Flanders Wearing Nothing At All", Homer watches the video and masturbates to it, [[RightThroughTheWall which the entire Simpson family can hear]].

** Homer, big time. He's not winning any "father of the year" awards in the actual show, but he's far worse here. For example, in "Homer Can't Let Her Go", he does the classic strangling bit on Bart after being pranked, but later on, he actually beats up Bart for getting a [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E14BrotherFromTheSamePlanet Bigger Brother]].

* EurekaMoment: In "Along Came Maggie Simpson", Homer is trying to solve his financial crisis where he can't afford a third mouth to feed. It isn't until he watches an episode of ''JustForFun/TheItchyAndScratchyShow'' involving a well when he gets the idea to abandon Bart inside one.

** Mr. Burns in "Mr. Burns Violates Bart" as he bribes the judge to screw over Homer and get away scot-free.

** In "Homer Protects His House", [[spoiler: Sideshow Bob ends up killing Homer as he was attempting to defend his home and gets off scot-free in court. Bart avenges his dad's death by destroying the building Senator Bob is in 20 years later.]]

* PoliceAreUseless: The competence of Springfield's police department is directly proportional to the RuleOfFunny. If it would be funnier for a crime to be stopped or avenged, they will be hyper-competent at their jobs. If it would be funnier for the crime to happen unabated, they'll either be hopelessly incompetent or ''actively perpetrating the crime''.

** In "[[https://youtu.be/lImSg1CuXG4 Who Plowed Bart Simpson?]]", It's heavily implied that Homer Simpson, Michael Jackson, and Marge Simpson are prime suspects in plowing Bart Simpson, especially for Homer since he had a very notable role as a rapist in "Mr. Plow". [[spoiler:Ultimately, the one responsible for plowing Bart Simpson is ''Krusty the Clown''.]]

'''Grampa Simpson:''' (stands up) Now, hold on just one minute! ([[KickTheSonOfABitch shoots Mr. Burns in the chest]])

* KickTheSonOfABitch: "I'm Mr. Burns, Blah, Blah, Blah" has a rare ''happy'' ending: after his stint as Mr. Burns' assistant ends with him getting tossed out of the Plant for attempting to attack him, Homer makes his way to the Kwik-E-Mart, grabs a bag of diarrhea-causing chips, and then returns to the Plant in order to confront Mr. Burns... and shit on the floor in his office. The video ''ends'' on that note, with no implication if Homer is going to get punished for this.
-->'''Homer:''' ''(thinking)'' Homer, you genius!

The channel also knows about the existence of this page on [[Website/TVTropes This Very Wiki]], as acknowledged in the video description for the minisode "Murder at the Simpson House"[[note]]where all of the Simpsons kids were killed by Groundskeeper Willie, and after he gets arrested and sent to the court, the rest of the minisode focuses on the fallout of Marge and Homer's marriage[[/note]]. The channel said that he very much enjoyed reading the page for the channel here, and he thanked anyone who contributed to the page.

'''NOTE:''' As the channel description says, it was meant for the hardcore fans who grew up on the original ''Simpsons'' show. If you're just a casual viewer (or a newcomer/beginner Simpsons fan), you may not notice something in each video, including the editing efforts has put into the video, etc.[[note]]For example, if you didn't see the video description in "Frank Grimes Gets Revenge on Homer" or the original show's episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E23HomersEnemy Homer's Enemy]]", you may not know why Frank declares Homer as his enemy immediately at the start of the video without any reason.[[/note]] If you're offended by the content of the channel, then you shouldn't watch it.

* YankTheDogsChain: After [[spoiler:Bart escapes from Homer's abuse]] in the minisode "Return of the King", [[spoiler:he calls for a big brother to be his ParentalSubstitute, only to learn that his new big brother is no one but [[Music/MichaelJackson Leon Kompowsky]] himself.]]
