Warburton Parker is a hipster YouTuber and MyTuber promoter.

History

When Marge gave Homer the idea to create his own online sports talk show, Walkoff Homer, Bart, who was watching from the doorway, hated the show so he decided to mess with it. This escalated into a fight between Homer and Bart which became a viral hit on MyTube. Warburton Parker then went to Homer and Bart and offered to get them sponsorships in order to better capitalize on their videos. To convince them, Parker showed Homer and Bart a video of a monkey smelling its finger before falling out of a tree, which Homer found hilarious. Homer and Bart then agreed to work with him.

Parker started off Homer and Bart with a Buzz Cola sponsorship, having them fight whilst spraying each other with Buzz Cola. This led to them earning their first check of $5,000, which Parker gave them at Utica Wild Thighs, which he revealed to be the next sponsor for their videos. He then filmed Homer and Bart as they fought in the restaurant. During this period, Homer and Bart started to bond closer, which was then caught on camera, leading to their image being shattered and people to take a dislike to them since they didn't actually hate each other.

Homer and Bart went back to Parker to ask him to help their image. Parker then decided that they should have a comeback, having a live stage show in front of influencers and taste makers to remake their brand. He took them to the Springfield Bowl where they were to take part in Mortal Kombat: Live Online, sponsored by Netflix, Axe Body Spray and Trident gum. He got them prepared to fight with real weapons and sent them on, having them read from a script which included mentions of the sponsors. However, Homer and Bart couldn't go through with it and hugged on stage, losing the audience and causing Warburton Parker to walk away.

Behind the Laughter

Whilst not stated in the episode, Warburton Parker is intended to be the great-grandson of Colonel Tom Parker, the manager of Elvis Presley.[1]
