      Ghost7729 people visit Washington more, about 40 million people visit Seattle alone and the surrounding counties from out of state not to mention people who only see the mountains of other places. Only about 30 million people visit all of Oregon in a year.

    • @Ghost-ir3qj
      @Ghost-ir3qj 4 года назад +8

      Noob Gaming 26.6 million single individuals visit Oregon and 13.3 million groups yearly, very few people go somewhere other than Seattle and if you had actually read that statistic correctly you would know that 39.9 million people per year visit Seattle and the surrounding country. Its estimated that Bend oregon alone receives 20,000 daily tourists and this is one of our smaller cities. If I average the total group statistic with 3 people per group (because at minimum it has to be two), then our total tourists per year is 66.5 million people.

    In the new Simpson’s episode “Marge The Lumberjill”, Homer goes to a bar and someone asks him where he is from. Homer replies with Springfield and then the man says “The one in Oregon?” And Homer replies with “I don’t know.” This is probably the biggest clue.

And, since this was the video that first got me interested in anything Simpsons-related, I just had to go back to it after I had finished. And all the while I was looking out for times they disproved this! And, apart from when characters were joking, it all seemed pretty in line with this theory. And hey, in one of the episodes (about season 30-ish I think?) they go to Portland, Oregon and make a joke about all the streets that share names with people The Simpsons know. So yeah, canon.

    As TheRealJims pointed out, there are a lot of issues with this theory.
    1. Springfield was a Battleground in the civil war, with neighboring Shelbyville being in a Confederate State. Oregon was barely a state at the time and was nowhere near the front lines.
    2. Several of the historical episodes around Jebidiah Springfield portray the town as being settled and founded in the late 1700s, way too early for Oregon.
    3. Springfield is in a state that allows the Electric Chair or at least DID at some point(every depiction of execution uses it), but Oregon never used the chair.
    4. The VERY same episode he got the tax info from to solve the Oregon-Washington issue also has a scene where they point to Springfield on a map. We don't see where it is exactly, but it's definitely not on either coast.

    If you look at the episode "Bart Star", you will find a King of the Hill reference in the show where Hank says how the trip to the football game in Springfield was 2,000 miles. Since Arlen in the King of the Hill world is based on the real city Arlington, you will find that Arlington (or Arlen) is basically 2,000 miles from Oregon on a map, further proving Matpat's theory.

      in family guy season 13 episode 1 (Crossover Episode between Simpsons and Family Guy), it is stated that they live an hour and a half away from each other, and family guy lives in Rhode island. So it's impossible that it's in Oregon... We also see them driving from Rhode Island to Oregon. And since it takes about 47 hours and 26 minutes (Driving Time) from RI to OR. That pretty much disproves matpat's theory. I hope he makes part 2

      @@milk-pk4xk This is definitely a valid reason for possibly disproving MatPat's theory, but one thing you want to keep in mind is that one of his rules said that only seasons 1-9 are going to be used because the show changed executive producers. If you were to go by this, then this episode would be considered non canonical. Of course you do not need to and you can still work with the information.

      Apart from the donut it’s pretty boring. I live in Christchurch and have been through Springfield a couple times on the way to skiing. The first time we took a photo with the donut, the other times we just stopped to go toilet. I thought it was really cool that it was called Springfield when I was younger then I learnt there are TONS of towns around the world called Springfield. Fun fact: the donut was put up as promotion for the Simpson movie and at one point an arsonist lit it on fire.
