shameless plug for a similar site which a friend built, but for dozens of TV shows and movies: https://amphetamem.es/

No South park hum? But Rick and Morty is there so it's not a policy against foul-mouthed cartoons; Smiling friends is also missing but perhaps it's too unknown or too recent to be there.

Surprised to find this on the front page today, I posted this four days ago (hovering over the post timestamp confirms this), yet the timestamp says "11 hours ago". Weird.

Some funny related cultural trivia is that often Americans find the hardest thing about integrating into Irish culture is how much we reference the Simpsons in day to day life.

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.

Agreed. If you search for Barney, say, none of the top ten picture him at all and is mostly people speaking to or about him. Even running them through a vision LLM for a list of keywords would yield better results than the subtitles, I suspect.

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.

Also /r/The_Leftorium...

The gif maker workflow is fantastic, amazing how smooth it was an the output is clean and crisp. Beautiful UX I practically tripped over this feature without even thinking about it and it worked great.

I'm glad you shared this because, in my head this Dr. Nick quote is so canonical it must be from the original golden 8 seasons, so it's nice to be reminded there are occasionally good things after! ;^)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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. [0] https://frinkiac.com/video/S06E08/ZzAEDYhlQxZ5l2A8E5aowS1M82...

doh!
