The phrase "Simpsons Did It" originates from the Season 13 episode "The Bart-Mangled Banner" (2002), where a drunk Homer Simpson stumbles upon a TV commercial for a theme park called "Itchy & Scratchy Land." In a fit of boozy nostalgia, Homer proclaims, "They did it! They did it! Tram pararam, tram pararam, Simpsons did it!" The line's nonsensical quality and Homer's inebriated enthusiasm made it an instant laugh.
