Character Information
|
Graggle Simpson is a supposed character, who is the subject of a 2022 internet meme and hoax in which users online claimed the character was a real member of the sitcom's cast of characters that had been removed through retroactive continuity.
Most iterations of Graggle include a backstory regarding the character's existence in The Simpsons' lore, including that he was intended to be a self-insert of Matt Groening, and that he was a much-beloved character among fans. A variety of fan works featuring Graggle have been produced, including modified screenshots that include Graggle among other members of the cast of characters in The Simpsons, and a modification for the video game The Simpsons: Hit and Run. The character has described as an example of the Mandela effect.
Although the character was expanded upon and hit vital levels of popularity in 2022, the earliest mentions of Graggle, also referred to as ‘Gumbly’, date to 2015, when an anonymous user on 2channel added a version of the character referred to as ‘Nan-j min’ to screenshots of The Simpsons, with ‘Nan-j min’ being a mascot of the site’s /livejupiter/ imageboard (nicknamed ‘Nan-j’) at the time. The earliest mentions of the character in English date from early-2021 on 4chan, in a post that establishes the prior aspect of Graggle being intended as Groening’s persona, and also introduced two alternate names, ‘Yellow Matt’ and ‘Weird Matt’.
