>Pynchon made two cameo animated appearances on the television series The Simpsons in 2004. The first occurs in the episode "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife", in which Marge Simpson becomes a novelist. He plays himself, with a paper bag over his head, and provides a blurb for the back cover of Marge's book, speaking in a broad Long Island accent: "Here's your quote: Thomas Pynchon loved this book, almost as much as he loves cameras!" He then starts yelling at passing cars: "Hey, over here, have your picture taken with a reclusive author! Today only, we'll throw in a free autograph! But, wait! There's more!"[88][89]
>In his second appearance, in "All's Fair in Oven War", Pynchon's dialogue consists entirely of puns on his novel titles ("These wings are 'V'-licious! I'll put this recipe in 'The Gravity's Rainbow Cookbook', right next to 'The Frying of Latke 49'.").

Kill me.

If it makes you feel any better, he wrote those shit puns himself and asked that they be included. He also called Homer his hero.

I was invited to a Halloween costume party over the weekend.
Everyone was curious about what I was going to be.
I told them, "I'm going as one of my favorite authors. Thomas Pynchon."
So, I never showed up.

Nah, the abnormal level of research he puts into his novels redeems him. Though I do fucking hate inherent vice. I couldn't get past page 20. Fucking hate hippy lingo.

No, but that episode took place in the 18th season of simpsons, which is why I mentioned the 18th season of Simpsons retard. Also lol at you still defending that joke.

Ok, but he didn't write that whole season or even that episode. How is it a valid form of attack?
Are you suggesting that he should've declined to appear because of bad the Simpsons was by that point? I mean, you have a point there if that's the case.
Also the one he wrote puns for was season 16, not that that makes it any better.
