"We are PLAYDUDE playmates! We are PLAYDUDE playmates!"-Bart and Millhouse having decided to start their cult.

Playdude is an adult magazine. Homer has a stash and reads them frequently, although he strongly implies that it is for the interviews. His stash was discovered by Marge, and she attempts to destroy them. However, Bart finds them and eventually starts a cult based on the teachings of Playdude before Homer stops him.

Snake Jailbird and Buck McCoy also are known consumers of the publication, as are Jimbo Jones, Kearney Zzyzwicz, and Dolph Starbeam (the latter three of whom steal it from the Kwik-E-Mart).

Behind the Laughter[]

Playdude is based on the adult magazine Playboy (though "Krusty Gets Kancelled" had Hugh Hefner and his Playboy Bunnies, meaning that both Playboy magazine and its spoof exist in the Simpsons universe).

In "Homer the Heretic", Homer reads the magazine while staying home from church (he skips an article about Saturday Night Live showrunner Lorne Michaels and reads the "Unabashed Dictionary" feature, which he laughs at, despite not understanding it). Homer also attempts to explain this to Marge when she finds them during renovations for the house, leading to Marge cutting them up. Several copies of Playdude in the show looks similar to American Breast Enthusiast.

Playdude was mentioned in Level 4 of The Simpsons Hit and Run, specifically in the mission "Wolves Stole my Pills!". Nelson Muntz admitted when Marge Simpson confronted him over stealing Abe Simpson II's crazy pills that he already gave them to a black sedan in exchange for various issues of Playdude magazine, including one which featured an interview with "the guy who invented the Wa-Wa-Panel".
