I can't say for 100% certain if I burned my Furbies because of the Simpsons incepting the idea in me... or if I actually beat them to the punch on that.

I can say I don't actually remember that happening in the Simpsons, and that my parents would not let me watch the Simpsons untill I got into middle school, because it was... too adult, or something.

I well remember sneaking over to a friend's house to watch Southpark for the first time, and also for us both to figure out how to download and get a Pokemon Gold or Silver rom and emulator working... only for us to eventually realize that it had not been translated yet, and we had next to 0 clue what the hell was happening in the game.

Had to check in Simpsons it's called Funzo S11E9, it's not as Christmasy as other ones are for sure. I bet you and your friend still tried to play the game that'd have been an adventure for then. I tried to play a Gundam MMO once but it was only in Japanese, so was awkward and didn't last long but hard to resist a try.

This is pretty far off the original topic, but, if you want something like an extra insane 'wtf is going here' experience in a game?

Get Papers Please.

Set the game language to like, Basque or Catalonian, I know it supports at least one of those.

I attempted to play this way as a kind of 'custom difficulty' mode once... it did not go well, but it was extremely confusing and even more kafkaesque.
