The Simpsons unleashed a volley of satirical shots at Apple last night, and the video is up at Hulu. Apple products have been such a cultural phenomenon since the advent of the iPod that we're surprised it's taken the show's writers this long to get around to syphoning some laughs, but they covered every missed joke opportunity of the past few years in just three minutes. Steve Jobs, the 1984 commercial, the iconic white earbuds, the Genius Bar &mdash nothing was spared, so take a gander at the embedded video below for a perfect Monday remedy of successive guffaws.

Classic. Apple users have constructed somewhat of a cult, but hey, all the Microsoft people have had a cult so long it is old news. Apple is fantastic at marketing, to say the least.
