United Kingdom man gets paid to watch ‘The Simpsons’ for its predictions of the future

“Don’t have a cow man!” but there’s a man in the UK who’s fulfilling the desire of every ardent “The Simpsons” fan.

With regard to the cartoon series, Alexander Townley unquestionably became the object of devoted viewers’ jealousy after he revealed that he receives $6,804 for watching every episode of the well-known humorous cartoon, along with free “doh” nuts.

“I’m a diehard Simpsons fan and watching it for money is something I’ve always dreamt of,” the 26-year-old Townley told Jam Press about his unique job opportunity, which he started this past January.

The local from Nottingham, who has actually been an avid “Simpsons” fan for as long as he can remember, learned about the position when his brother tagged him in an online ad seeking viewers to watch the Matt Groening production and examine its predictions for the future—a feature for which the show is renowned.

“Around 10 people shared the post with me because all my friends and family know about my unhealthy obsession with the show,” Townley mentioned.

The “Simpsons” aficionado declared that the show is “absolutely fascinating” and that it is always relevant since “it’s a reflection on society and based on stereotypes!”

“For example, a fat American dad with a trophy wife and kids, a police officer with a pig nose and a school principal with annoyingly good posture,” he described.

Townley was ecstatic to say, “I get to stuff my face with free vegan donuts that they send me every week and I am asked to critically analyze each episode as part of my work, who wouldn’t love that?”

Actually, the cartoon enthusiast noted that, up until he “started receiving doughnuts in the mail,” no one thought he was being completely honest about his fantastic side gig.” He added that people “started seeing less of me because I’m always at home watching ‘The Simpsons,'” adding that “some of my mates are happy for me, but they’re jealous.”

However, despite the seemingly idealistic nature of earning money to watch television, the seasoned “Simpsons” binge-watcher asserts that it’s not all fun and games.

“It’s not as simple as just watching a few episodes and chilling out on the sofa,” asserted Townley, that works at a coffee shop during the daytime. “I have to sit with a notepad and pen and have to write every little detail down, even the opening credits with the chalkboard sequence and couch gag.”

Alexander Townley also said that “There have even been weeks where I’ve watched up to 30 episodes in a day, several days in a row, and that really is mentally draining.” Right now, the expert television viewer is watching Season 18 of 33 and has 717 episodes to go.

In the clairvoyant animated series, Townley’s mission is to search for anything that might be related to the future. It has been said that Townley has predicted everything from 9/11 to the COVID-19 pandemic. At that point, Townley delivers his results to his employer.

The animation analyst suggested that certain “Simpsons” episodes may have also predicted his own life, despite keeping his findings confidential.

“There’s been a few times where I’ve seen characters like Marge sit and analyze TV programs such as ‘Itchy & Scratchy’ with a notepad and pen and I’ve been like, wait what the f **k, that’s literally what I’m doing right now,’ ” Townley claimed.

He envisions a time when his work will be highlighted in a “Simpsons” episode, completing the circle.

“I know for a fact that ‘The Simpsons’ creators know about this job, so if you’re reading this, Mr. Groening, I’d love to feature in an episode based around this crazy job!” Alexander Townley stated. “I’ve never been to America either, so if they could fly me out there and I could work with them that’d be amazing.”

The dream job worker mentioned that “It’s a bit cheeky I know, but I’ll never get the opportunity to ask ever again, so why not?”
