"Medium Setting!" - https://frinkiac.com/gif/S03E22/319309/322862/

The GIF generator works well. Nice work!

You could probably delete some of the frames that have credits shown over them - since you have plenty of material already anyway, for example: https://frinkiac.com/caption/S17E16/137763 or https://frinkiac.com/caption/S16E09/162162

Surprised to find this on the front page today, I posted this four days ago (hovering over the post timestamp confirms this), yet the timestamp says "11 hours ago". Weird.

This is literally my favourite website, I use it several times a week.

I do wish the search was a bit better; it could show the matching quote below the matching frame, and it doesn’t seem to support phrase queries.

A more advanced feature would be searching by speaking character too.

shameless plug for a similar site which a friend built, but for dozens of TV shows and movies:

I love this website. I wish I could search it in Spanish. I grew up watching the Simpsons in Spanish and I sometimes struggle to find the right clip because I don't know the exact translation

shameless plug to something similar (albeit less polished) I’ve been hobbying on for Fantozzi and PeepShow (still wip)

Very cool. Maybe add some image embeddings for additional metadata for the search results?

Zee2today at 3:20 AM

Seems like the search is based only on the transcript/dialogue - not an image embedding. Would be super cool to actually use some CLIP/embedding search on these for a more effective fuzzy lookup.

For enjoyers of classic simpsons, I highly recommend /r/simpsonsshitposting, a delightful blend classic simpsons, absurdist/surrealist/dadaist art, multilayered inside jokes and often NSFW content. It could not exist without The Frinkiac.

Possibly the best and most important website on the internet

"Max Power" - https://frinkiac.com/video/S10E13/wRtZ0QdDirXfWVwbdZ3jU_8NAE...

Can't find other clips by quote.

Sometimes Grandpa talking about wearing an onion on his belt is important.

It would be great to add the meme mode to the gif rendering so it was captioned.

Very cool.

You know, I tried to look for source code or a downloadable database, to play with a local fork, but I haven't found much.
