I think Bobson Dugnutt is my favourite.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It is an awesome name

[–] samus12345 59 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I was impressed that the Simpsons Death Note parody used some of these names. That's a super obscure reference!

[–] Mog_fanatic 20 points 1 year ago

What a crazy deep cut of an easter egg. i'm impressed anyone even noticed this. That's awesome!

Simpsons Death Note parody

stupid question but shouldn't this be on disney+ ? I can't find any of the treehouse of horrors..

[–] samus12345 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

It's this season, #34, episode 6. If not Disney+, it's probably on Hulu. There's also an excellent Westworld parody that same episode that makes it easily the best Simpsons episode made in a very long time.

If you don't have Hulu, you can find it on himovies.

Newer Simpsons has actually been really good. Poorhouse Rock was a shockingly good episode about how lucky Homer was economically and how fucked Bart is nowadays.

I forgot about Bobson Dognutt!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Surely the most American name on there!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Genuinely sounds super Texas to this northern european.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Somehow this is the most realistic out of all these

I'm naming my firstborn Bobson.

[–] AwfulWaffle56 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would make sense if your name is Bob

Making this must have been exhausting. I have a hard enough time coming up with one name in an RPG. I want to hear the story of the guy who had to come up with all of this.

[–] _danny 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What I've found helps me is picking three or four character traits I'm going to roleplay and run them through a translator twice (ex. English -> Hawaiian-> Czech turns 'tenacious' into věrnost. Then I'd judge how badly I'd pronounce it and English-ify it a little to Verno or Varnost)

It helps to pick languages that have a few language barriers between where they originated. Like English -> German doesn't work because they share a common root language and half of German speaks English as a second language now.

Straight out of republican voting ballots.

[–] Depress_Mode 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least some of these names have to be knockoffs of actual athletes, right? For example, he’s no “Sleve McDichael”, but Steve McMichael was a player for the Greenbay Packers football team when this game came out.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, a lot of them seem to be real names with a couple of letters switched, added or removed.

[–] RCTreeFiddy 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is that Dwigt from Threat Level Midnight?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I apologise to my future son, Scott Dourque.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Todd Bonzalez is peak comedy.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah actual baseball players have names way weirder than these.

[–] niktemadur 10 points 1 year ago

Odrisamer Despaigne.
Now check this out: he played for the San Diego Padres, and his name contains all the letters needed to spell out "San Diego Padres".

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

This looks like what would happen if you had a real set of American names, but then played a long game of telephone with people that have increasingly thick accents.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

"Raul", "Rortugal"

The man does not understand the letter P.

It confuses him, it frightens him.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

To be fair, Raul is an actual Hispanic name. Rortugal has no excuse though lol

[–] DulyNoted 14 points 1 year ago

MCRLWAIN hurts my brain to pronounce

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

is Scott Dourque just a fancy way of saying Scott Dork lol?

[–] Metans 4 points 1 year ago

As in Sleve "Morgo" McDichael?

[–] eran_morad 11 points 1 year ago

This shit is gold. Thanks, OP.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 10 points 1 year ago

Me and the rest is the Bonzales family would thank you for not making fun

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I've seen this so many times but the name Shown gets me every time.. it's fucking classic

[–] balderdash9 6 points 1 year ago

Funny how the nationalities don't go together. Italian/Jewish names mixed in with latino last names.

[–] MetalMagg 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you told me this was a minor league hockey squad, I would believe you.
