Don’t forget, dear Pandas, you’re here forever. Fortunately, that “forever” entails plenty of wholesome animal and art posts, as well as this magnificent list of all the funniest and punniest business names featured on The Simpsons. Brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Bored Panda Nuclear Power Plant which used The Simpsons Wiki for inspiration and research purposes.
If you’re a fan of The Simpsons and enjoy learning about all the tiny hidden Easter eggs others might not notice, then you’re in for a real treat. Upvote your fave Springfield business names as you scroll down and let us know what hidden details in the show you’ve personally noticed.
Though some of these store and business names are as cheesy as a triple cheeseburger (like the ‘It Blows’ air conditioning store), others are brilliant puns that you might not have understood when you were a kid but will definitely get now that you’re all grown up. When you’re done with this list, check out our earlier post about the funniest signs on The Simpsons right here.

Bloodbath & Beyond Gun Shop
No, it’s not. It’s a tragic and terrible thing and any sane American would not want that to happen
Load More Replies...I used that for years working at a hardware store and needed to send someone to BB&Beyond, only about ⅔ of them caught it.
1300 underage gun deaths per year. What rock have you been hiding under?

Like any long-running TV show or movie series, The Simpsons is full of hidden little details that are peppered throughout each episode. It’s as much a reward for the perceptive viewer as it is a chance for the creators of the show to have a bit of fun with their inside gags.
For instance, one thing that has been on my mind since I was a 7-year-old kid watching The Simpsons when my parents weren’t looking, was what flashed across the supermarket cash register when Maggie was scanned during The Simpsons intro. I’d always tried to see what numbers and letters came up, but I was never sure what they were.
It wasn’t until over a decade later that I found out that the number (originally 847.63 dollars) was the monthly amount of money that Americans needed to raise a baby. Of course, that was what researchers said the number was at the time that the show’s first season was released in 1989.

I've actually seen a restaurant called Mr. Changs Chinese and Mexican.
OMG!!!! Where? We have Korean tacos here in LA, and we thought that they may be the most visionary thing...until I learned of Mexicali Chinese in Baja...
Load More Replies...Great sign. Love the architecture also. Reminds me of my L.A. neighborhood
Stoner's Pot Palace
Imagine my disappointment. Then I had to stop Cheech and Chong quick. And call back Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg that was a close one
Another thing that I never noticed until I binge-browsed through The Simpsons trivia, Easter eggs, and fan theories one day, was that the creator of the show, Matt Groening, hid his initials on Homer Simpson’s head. The character’s ear looks like the letter ‘G’ while his hair looks like an ‘M.’
Something else that only the most detective minded of you might have noticed is that God in The Simpsons has five fingers on each hand. Meanwhile, all the other characters only have four fingers. It’s small details like this that make us love the show even more (even if we think they should change the format back to what it once was years and years ago).

A prescription for infamy......in the family....cue 'Family Affair' theme song.
It's a reference to a Greek myth where Oedipus Rex hears a prophecy where he marries his mother and kills his father. He tries to avoid it, and accidentally completes the prophecy. He then rips his eyes out.

Oh is this the one with the big book of British smiles? That's in my top five faves, if I ever bothered to rank them

@Wouldn't You Like To Know why cant people enjoy things without it being a political agenda?
Instead of Adam and Eve it’s Adam and Adam. Probably a gay bar.

J.r.r. Toykin's
A place to buy Legos-las, Arwen you need some toys for your kids. Get your kids a Bil-bow to practice archery (but make sure you get them an eyes-engard so they can still see afterwards) or some Fro-dough for shaping objects out of clay! It’s just Elrond the corner, go there before all the toys Aragorn. You’ll be Galad-riel you went, and your children will beg, “Gimli the toys!” Once they get them, they’ll be Riven-dell with interest for hours. If they Er-e-bored, you can just go by some more toys. If you can provide a good resume and pass the interview, you could be our next new Shire.

Donner's Party Supplies
google the Donner Party. Immigrants who got caught up at the now eponymous pass. They were caught for months, many people died, cannibalism, and much sadness. Tamsen Donner should have lived, but... (5th gen Californian, I grew up learning about it...there are some well researched books)
Load More Replies...As a descendent of the Donner family, I protest....but not too much *laughs uncontrollably while offering you burgers made from questionable food sources*
This is making me cry at the hilarity. No wonder I wasn’t allowed to watch Simpsons when I was younger!

I thought this was only a joke until my left handed partner told me that she was a regular consumer at an actual store like this.
I don't get, what's this store pls? For Ned, I would bet that's a Bible store! Lol

Knockers
Used to have a pizza delivery place called knockers. It was my favorite.
Hello I am French and I am learning english. I know that hooters and knockers mean both brEast. So I don't get why a pizza place is called like that. Is there another meaning to the word knockers that I don't know?!?

Chez Guevara
I think a few people got it. This is a French play word. "Chez Guevara" means literally "Guevara's". The real name of the revolutionary is Che. It's a play word because "chez" in French sounds like "Che" in spanish! I know it cause I'm French. Look at my name! LOL
My favourite revolutionary catapult was Trebuchet Guevara. But then i learned that Magonelson Mandela threw them farther.
