And https://masterofallscience.com/ for Rick and Morty. edit: Though it seems to be somewhat outdated.

Seems like the search is based only on the transcript/dialogue - not an image embedding. Would be super cool to actually use some CLIP/embedding search on these for a more effective fuzzy lookup.

How would someone go about doing this, just curious?

You’d just run every picture through CLIP, essentially you run an image generator backwards. Instead of text to image like most end users use when using something like stable diffusion (been awhile since I’ve done this), it can do the exact opposite and generate tokens (just words in this case) to describe the input image.

I’d guess famous characters like Bart and Marge and other Simpsons characters would likely be known by the tokenizer so it’d be pretty easy. So then you’d be able to guess.

Feel free to correct me on small details if anyone has this more fresh in their mind but I’m roughly correct here.

For enjoyers of classic simpsons, I highly recommend /r/simpsonsshitposting, a delightful blend classic simpsons, absurdist/surrealist/dadaist art, multilayered inside jokes and often NSFW content. It could not exist without The Frinkiac.

My primary news source.

"Medium Setting!" - https://frinkiac.com/gif/S03E22/319309/322862/ The GIF generator works well. Nice work! You could probably delete some of the frames that have credits shown over them - since you have plenty of material already anyway, for example: https://frinkiac.com/caption/S17E16/137763 or https://frinkiac.com/caption/S16E09/162162

I've always wished the GIF generator could embed the subtitle like the single frame "make a meme" feature can, but it does work surprisingly well

You can do this [0] just press Add Meme after Make GIF.

This is literally my favourite website, I use it several times a week.

I do wish the search was a bit better; it could show the matching quote below the matching frame, and it doesn’t seem to support phrase queries.

A more advanced feature would be searching by speaking character too.
