# Marge Krumping Marge Krumping is a Photoshop meme built around a still of Marge Simpson mid-attempt at the hip-hop dance style krumping, pulled from a 2007 episode of The Simpsons. The frame stayed unused for almost a decade until January 2016, when a Facebook shitposting page turned it into an exploitable and Tumblr users spun it into anime-battle and fighting-game edits that pulled tens of thousands of notes in days. ## Origin The screenshot comes from The Simpsons Season 19 Episode 6, 'Little Orphan Millie,' which aired in November 2007, in a scene where Marge tries to cheer up Bart by attempting to krump[2]. The pose stayed dormant for almost nine years before anyone turned it into a template. The earliest known exploit surfaced on January 26, 2016, when a two-panel edit appeared on the Facebook page The Simpsons Shitposting, pairing Marge's krump pose with a digital clock reading '420,' the stoner-culture time stamp for smoking marijuana[3]. That post pulled roughly 1,800 likes and 1,000 shares in its first week. - **Platform:** Facebook (source post) / Tumblr (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2016 ## Overview The meme works off one specific frame where Marge Simpson is caught mid-motion, arms bent and body twisted into a lopsided battle stance[1]. Editors treat that shape as a fighting-game or dance-video sprite, cutting Marge out of the Simpsons kitchen and dropping her into anime showdowns, arcade brawlers, rave clips, and concert crowds. The joke lands because Marge's stiff cartoon proportions look wrong doing anything remotely athletic, so the more serious the source scene, the funnier the drop-in. Style ranges from clean cutouts to sloppy, half-erased Photoshops that leave the show's original background bleeding into the new one. Signature edits pair Marge Krumping with anime villains or arcade-game sprite work, playing off how physically off she looks squared up against actual combat art[1]. ## How It Spread On January 30, 2016, a dedicated Facebook page called Marge-Core launched to collect edits[3]. The next day, a Photoshop of the 'Top Ten Anime Battles' list template, showing Marge Krump squaring off against Vegeta from Dragon Ball, hit Tumblr and cleared 50,000 notes inside 72 hours. On February 2, Tumblr user Pickleplayer posted a GIF of Marge performing a Shoryuken in a Street Fighter match, which pulled over 16,000 notes. The push was fast and mostly self-contained. Within about a week the format hopped from Facebook to Tumblr, spawned a curated fan page, and produced dozens of anime and video-game crossover edits. YouTube compilations later paired the still with dubstep tracks, keeping Marge Krumping in rotation as a niche Simpsons exploitable rather than a mainstream 2016 breakout[4]. ## How to Use A typical Marge Krumping edit isolates Marge from the original Simpsons scene[1] and drops her into a setting where the body language reads as combat or dance. Common conventions include anime fight backdrops, arcade fighting-game HUDs, rave and concert footage, and short GIFs where she throws a signature move like a Shoryuken or Hadouken. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Marge Krumping?
