Man tracks down Homer Simpson's exact location 30 years after ‘escaping to real world’ in episode

The iconic episode saw Homer escape to the 'real world' in Los Angeles

A Simpsons fan has tracked down Homer's exact location, three decades after the iconic episode where he 'escapes to the real world'.

The episode - Treehouse of Horror VI - is the sixth episode in season seven and and was also part of the Treehouse of Horror Halloween specials.

In the ep, Homer is sent into the real world and finds himself landing in a dumpster in Los Angeles.

He walks around, looking absolutely terrified, but then finds an erotic cake store and cheers up somewhat.

The segment provided a very different feel to the usual look of The Simpsons.

Instead of the widely-known 2D format, there's a 3D-rendered image of Homer.

The iconic episode was certainly a memorable one, with one Simpsons fan calling it a 'masterpiece' on Reddit.

They wrote: "This entire TOH episode is a masterpiece, and one of my all time favorites: The Time Toaster and this segment, 3D Homer, being the standouts."

One Simpsons podcast Four Finger Discount took things an extra mile, literally, and actually tracked down the exact location where Homer makes his ignominious landing.

Some 30 years after Homer arrived, the podcaster posed for a picture.

And in case you were wondering, it's located at Andrew Young 13567 Ventura boulevard, Sherman Oaks, CA.

A quick comparison between how it was and how it is shows that not a huge amount has changed in the intervening 30 years.

An air conditioning vent has been added, there's a small extension next door, and the wall has been given a lick of paint.

Crucially, the dumpster which breaks Homer's fall is also gone, so he might have a slightly harder landing if he arrived today.

People took to the comments to share their thoughts on how much the place has changed.

One person joked: "For a second I thought it was Four Seasons Landscaping."

Another thought that it would be fitting to have a homage (or 'Homerage'?) to the scene, saying: "I’m shocked homer isn’t painted on the wall as a mural!"

Someone else was shocked at just how much time has passed since the episode was broadcast.

They wrote: "I could have gone about my day just fine without ever knowing that was 30 years ago."

One person also had a suggestion for the scene which would have changed it significantly.

They wrote: "Instead of a 3D homer they should have used live action Homer."

Of course, figuring out how Homer would look in the real world would be no easy feat.
