Frinkiac does pretty much the same thing but in a more entertaining way: https://frinkiac.com/

Very cool that site, well done. Thanks for sharing.

It appears I can now confirm that the Sea Captain's name is only mentioned by a character (Lionel Hutz) in one line in Season 4. It does also appear to have been used in a caption in season 11, though not mentioned by a character. His first name is given as Horatio according to the Simpsons wikia but that doesn't seem to appear in the show as far as I can tell.

It would be nice if the search was case-insensitive! E.g. 'she' returns different data than 'She'.

[talldan → surement]

there's some settings in the top right corner that allow you to change case sensitivity

[bakztfuture]

I jumped straight to, "dental plan"

[Diederich → bakztfuture]

Didn't Lisa need braces?

[virgil_disgr4ce → Diederich]

dental plan

I find it interesting how "Homer" has experienced a constant, steady decline in usage over time.

[pavel_lishin → t0mbstone]

I'm surprised that Marge is consistently higher ranked than Lisa.

[evincarofautumn → pavel_lishin]

Moreover, Homer > Bart > Marge > Lisa > Maggie.

[YCode → t0mbstone]

"Skinner" however remains constant.

[louithethrid → YCode]

Its appearance correlates with "Mother" or "Super-Intendent"

[UncleSlacky → louithethrid]

Super Nintendo Chalmers!

[danso]

Very cromulent. Is the raw data available or is that unpossible to legally distribute?

[irrational]

So donut returns quite different results than doughnut. Is this just the script writers using their preferred spelling for doughnut, or does this come from transcription data (thus indicating a preferred spelling for transcribers)?

"This is great! And all I've done is enter my name-Thrillhouse!"

[neonhomer]

The word "Doh" doesn't even show up until season 8. I'm guessing it's not written out in the closed captioning?

[jerf → neonhomer]

The official written form is "Annoyed Grunt": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27oh%21#Origin

[mikewhy → neonhomer]

This was always one of my favorite episode names: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(...

[tomrod]

Search does not appear to be case insensitive, nor does it group common words.

EDIT: apparently others discovered this an hour or so before me!

[marzell]

A few interesting trends: Fox, McBain, Poochie

[rsync]

What about us braindead slobs ?

[neonhomer → rsync]

You'll be given cushy jobs!

Monorail

[cbanek → s_kilk]

Were you sent here by the devil?

[thehodge → cbanek]

Nobody gonna finish it?. fine

No good sir I'm on the level..

[e40]

Is the data on which this based freely available?

[gm-conspiracy]

tomacco?

[bertlequant]

Probablie

[virgil_disgr4ce → bertlequant]

upvoted for reference sickness index

[Sangermaine]

All good people should already have seasons 1-8 memorized. What else would anyone need?

[pavel_lishin → Sangermaine]

My friend and I used to be unbeatable at Taboo, and similar games, because we could use Simpsons references to get to just about any word.

[blackkettle]

there are no tick marks on the x axis.

[ashurbanipal]

This would be better if it was only 10 years of the Simpsons.
