Dr. Frink has done it again, producing yet another innovative wonder called Frinkiac, a search engine that allows users to search for any quote from the first 15 seasons of "The Simpsons," get info of which episode or season it's from and even make a meme out of it.
Just to be clear, Dr. Frink didn't glaven make it per se, but it's obviously named after him. Now that that's out of the way, let's move on to the developers of this excellent time waster, which is arguably a timesaver for people who use quotes from the show often.
Paul Kehrer, Sean Schulte and Allie Young developed Frinkiac, and it's a godsend for diehard fans of "The Simpsons."
To use it, all you have to do is type in a quote. The engine will then yield frames of screen caps that'll let you pinpoint the exact one you're looking for. It will also provide the caption that matches the scene, and you have the option to edit the text to your liking. With over 3 million screenshots, it's hard not to find what you have in mind.
"Once you've found it you can share it with your friends or make a quick meme. Never again find yourself wishing you could pinpoint the second his heart rips in half. You'll feel like god must feel when he's holding a gun," Kehrer says.
The reason why they made this? Well, it could be for world domination, but there's a pretty good chance that the creators have something better in mind.
"It's for people who love "The Simpsons," to enhance and enable that love. We want it to spur more appreciation and re-watching of the show. Also, it's fun," the makers say.
It appears to be in its early stages, though, as there's no option to share the images beyond Frinkiac itself. Hopefully, more features will roll out soon.
Word to the wise, Frinkiac is highly addictive, and it can definitely cut into your productivity if you're not careful.
Don't we all, Homer? Don't we all.
