In Apu’s haunting comeback episode, a man in a “Daft Monk” Halloween costume – a play on French electro duo Daft Punk – appears to be accidentally killed over and over again by Springfield residents.<\/p>\n
A year on he returns to wreak his revenge.<\/p>\n
Eventually he summons everyone to the Springfield City Hall, takes off his helmet and reveals himself to be Apu.<\/p>\n
He then shares his story of having been nearly killed dozens of times, before winding up on The Island of Forgotten Garbage, where he was healed by Dr Nick.<\/p>\n
“I am the man you left for dead. I am the one you pretended never existed,” he declares.<\/p>\n
Just as he is about to set the city hall ablaze, Marge Simpson – serving as a thinly-veiled mouthpiece for the producers – intervenes, telling him: “Apu, we’re so sorry we left you for dead. Believe me, we wanted to do the right thing.”<\/p>\n
Her famous bratty son Bart adds: “But we were so scared, and just didn’t know what to do.”<\/p>\n
Bart’s father Homer then offers to sacrifice himself to save the rest of the town, reminding viewers of how important Apu has been to the town.<\/p>\n
“You were on our bowling teams, our barbershop quartets, our dad rock cover bands,” said Homer.<\/p>\n
“We took you for granted. I took you for granted.”<\/p>\n
The episode will be made available for viewers in the UK to watch on Disney+ next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Apu’s haunting comeback episode, a man in a “Daft Monk” Halloween costume – a play on French…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808099,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-808098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808098\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
