Within the worlds of The Simpsons and Futurama, there’s a balance between heavy topics and ridiculous events. The cartoonish nature of both shows lends them the ability to showcase some potentially frightening and deadly concepts through comedy. This can especially be seen in how both shows approach the typically menacing concept of organized crime and the way it impacts their respective communities.Both The Simpsons and Futurama have pretty goofy — yet still dangerous — versions of organized crime in their respective universes. Fat Tony and the Legitimate Businessman’s Social Club are some of Springfield’s most consistent criminals, while Donbot and the Robot Mafia are frequent antagonists in New New York. Each of them are entertaining in their own unique ways. But which one of them is the more dangerous group?In both The Simpsons and Futurama, organized crime is a major factor in the lives of the main characters — violent, influential and legitimately dangerous. In The Simpsons, most crime is run through Fat Tony and his gang. Introduced in Season 3’s “Bart the Murderer” (directed by Rich Moore and written by John Swartzwelder), Tony is one of Springfield’s most powerful figures. He has frequently been shown operating in broad daylight, bribing the local government to ensure his criminal activities go on unheeded. Despite the genuine efforts of Chief Wiggum to combat Tony’s influence, it’s rare that the criminal has ever actually been countered. And although various episodes have introduced figures in the criminal underworld who outrank him, Fat Tony is usually regarded as Springfield’s premiere criminal leader. While he’s been shown with many people under his command, his most consistent minions are Louie, Legs and the perpetually taciturn Johnny Tightlips. However, in one of the show’s most consistent riffs on the stereotypical role of criminals in modern media, Fat Tony has a surprisingly sympathetic side (even while remaining ruthless in his work).RELATED: The Simpsons Has a Connection to Striking – and Proves That It Works
