I think Bobson Dugnutt is my favourite.

[-] ArrrborDAY@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

It is an awesome name

I was impressed that the Simpsons Death Note parody used some of these names. That's a super obscure reference!

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

What a crazy deep cut of an easter egg. i'm impressed anyone even noticed this. That's awesome!

Simpsons Death Note parody

stupid question but shouldn't this be on disney+ ? I can't find any of the treehouse of horrors..

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's this season, #34, episode 6. If not Disney+, it's probably on Hulu. There's also an excellent Westworld parody that same episode that makes it easily the best Simpsons episode made in a very long time.

If you don't have Hulu, you can find it on himovies.

Newer Simpsons has actually been really good. Poorhouse Rock was a shockingly good episode about how lucky Homer was economically and how fucked Bart is nowadays.

I forgot about Bobson Dognutt!

[-] Pandantic@artemis.camp 10 points 1 year ago

Surely the most American name on there!

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Genuinely sounds super Texas to this northern european.

[-] Hubi@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Somehow this is the most realistic out of all these

I'm naming my firstborn Bobson.

[-] AwfulWaffle56@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It would make sense if your name is Bob

Making this must have been exhausting. I have a hard enough time coming up with one name in an RPG. I want to hear the story of the guy who had to come up with all of this.

[-] _danny@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

What I've found helps me is picking three or four character traits I'm going to roleplay and run them through a translator twice (ex. English -> Hawaiian-> Czech turns 'tenacious' into věrnost. Then I'd judge how badly I'd pronounce it and English-ify it a little to Verno or Varnost)

It helps to pick languages that have a few language barriers between where they originated. Like English -> German doesn't work because they share a common root language and half of German speaks English as a second language now.

Straight out of republican voting ballots.

[-] Depress_Mode@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

At least some of these names have to be knockoffs of actual athletes, right? For example, he’s no “Sleve McDichael”, but Steve McMichael was a player for the Greenbay Packers football team when this game came out.

[-] Facelikeapotato@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, a lot of them seem to be real names with a couple of letters switched, added or removed.

[-] RCTreeFiddy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Is that Dwigt from Threat Level Midnight?

[-] NikkiNikkiNikki@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Threat Level Midnigt*

I apologise to my future son, Scott Dourque.

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 19 points 1 year ago

Todd Bonzalez is peak comedy.

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago

This looks like what would happen if you had a real set of American names, but then played a long game of telephone with people that have increasingly thick accents.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"Raul", "Rortugal"

The man does not understand the letter P.

It confuses him, it frightens him.

To be fair, Raul is an actual Hispanic name. Rortugal has no excuse though lol

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah actual baseball players have names way weirder than these.

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Odrisamer Despaigne.
Now check this out: he played for the San Diego Padres, and his name contains all the letters needed to spell out "San Diego Padres".

[-] DulyNoted@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

MCRLWAIN hurts my brain to pronounce

[-] Domille@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

is Scott Dourque just a fancy way of saying Scott Dork lol?

[-] Seraph@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago
[-] Metans@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

As in Sleve "Morgo" McDichael?

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

This shit is gold. Thanks, OP.

[-] Selmafudd@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

I've seen this so many times but the name Shown gets me every time.. it's fucking classic

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Me and the rest is the Bonzales family would thank you for not making fun

[-] balderdash9@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Funny how the nationalities don't go together. Italian/Jewish names mixed in with latino last names.

[-] MetalMagg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

If you told me this was a minor league hockey squad, I would believe you.

[-] mindrover@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Shown Furcotte taking it up the ice.

He passes to McSriff.

Oh, a big hit by Bobson Dugnutt! He collects the puck and sends it on to Dandleton.

Dandleton now with the puck. Across to Sweeney - But it's picked off by Smorin!

He finds Noginly on the breakaway! Noginly - He Scores!

Noginly hits the brakes at the last second to slip it past the bumper of goaltender Mike Truk!
And the Jonsonbill Nailers take a 2-1 lead, with 3 minutes remaining in the second period.
