Such is the current-events worthy clip uploaded to Fox’s YouTube channel.

As comicbook.com reported: “Homer … isn’t having any of their nonsense. Instead, he tells the kids to pipe down and goes on to catch a Rattata, likely the 29th he’s caught given the pokemon’s prevalence. The befuddled dad then catches a Sandshrew and Drowsy before Lisa whines once more, saying, ‘Dad, pay attention to your children.’”

But another YouTube clip pushes back against a hoax that “The Simpsons” prophesied the Pokemon Go phone app.
