BONUS! Lewis’s Lookslike
🕑 Added 2021-11-19 09:00:04 +0000 UTCTHIS is the nonsense we live for in this journey.
Lewis - a character we have already established does not matter - has a lookalike in his school. This is one of my favourite useless pieces of trivia about the show, and it will go unappreciated by 99.9% of viewers, who probably don't even know who Lewis is.
This is most likely a by-product of an animator drawing Lewis in the background, but slightly off, so as to look like a different character. But perhaps there was strange intent behind two similar looking characters - as they both appear in the band in the show's intro.
I'm going to keep an eye out for if Lewis's Lookalike ever has a line, though I suspect not, so this is his time to shine. There are a bunch of nobody kids who consistently appear in the background (Girl with Glasses? Buck toothed Boy? SMUG GIRL?) and I'd really like to include them all as part of this, eventually.
I wonder if he and Lewis are friends. Or perhaps they both feel some existential crisis on having a doppelganger in such close proximity and keep their distance. We've covered this time and time again but: living in a cartoon SUCKS.
Man, a whole post on Lewis's Lookalike. I hope you feel like you are getting your money's worth.

(My other big quibble with that game is that Marge's power was criminally underused.)

Yeah, I only had the PS2 one - I remember being so disappointed when I first found out you couldn't free roam Springfield in that version.

Is that right? I take it this is the PS3/360 game? I'd like to play that but it's not easily available, which is a shame, as Lewis's Lookalike needs his day in the sun!
Gianni Sarra
If I remember correctly, he walks around the streets of Springfield in The Simpsons Game. That's as big a role as he gets.
