The Simpsons has been reimagined as a British sitcom and it's truly horrifying. British comedian Alasdair Beckett-King created the clip which shows the iconic characters swap their well-known American accents for British ones. Bart can be seen with his parents, Homer and Marge, at the family's kitchen table in the clip that has been viewed over 350K times on YouTube. The characters' names have all been altered for the British incarnation, with Bart now being known as Bartholomew, and Marge is now Margery. Check out the British Simpsons below:  [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66w6GTFB8FU]] Their accents are surprising too, with Bart and Homer speaking in a clear British accent, but Marge, surprisingly, has been a Scottish dialect. "Ah, Bartholomew, out for another day of whimsical japes," Homer says to his son. "Do not have a cow, father," Bartholomew says as a Winston Churchill bust falls straight through the ceiling and onto the table. "The wean's got the head of yon Winston Churchill," Margery says. Of course, the British Simpsons don't just sound different, they look different too, and appear to be more than a little haggard, with Marge sporting grey hair instead of her iconic tresses, and Bart appearing older than he ever has in the American animation. Homer, meanwhile, has a much longer and thinner face than what he's ever had before. But while the British incarnations of the Simpsons characters might seem a little grey compared to the American incarnation we are used to, it's not actually that different from how the show appeared was when it first aired back in 1989. Watch the first - very short - episode of the Simpsons below:  [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nekvVuoiTyA]] This reimagining of the classic show comes after The Simpsons was recently renewed for its 33rd and 34th seasons and is the longest-running animated series in the US, <a href="https://www.indy100.com/news/the-simpsons-has-been-reimagined-as-a-bleak-british-sitcom-b1827539">Indy100</a> reports. Beckett-King wrote on YouTube: "What if The Simpsons were a British show? It would be shorter and a lot more depressing." Knowing that the British version of The Simpsons is nothing short of tragic, Beckett-King promised that he'd never continue their adventures if people supported him on Ko-Fi: "This can end today." <h6>Featured image credit: Alamy / AF Archive</h6>
