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
We launched Feb 2, 2016 so almost a decade since then! Of course, we ran it for just ourselves a bit longer so it’s been slightly over a decade at this point.
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.
You’d just run every picture through CLIP, essentially you run an image generator backwards. Instead of text to image like most end users use when using something like stable diffusion (been awhile since I’ve done this), it can do the exact opposite and generate tokens (just words in this case) to describe the input image.
I’d guess famous characters like Bart and Marge and other Simpsons characters would likely be known by the tokenizer so it’d be pretty easy. So then you’d be able to guess.
Feel free to correct me on small details if anyone has this more fresh in their mind but I’m roughly correct here.
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.

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
Frinkiac has been around for at least a decade :)

Has it been that long? I remember having a ton of fun with it when it first launched.
Great job.
Congratulations, really nice! I wasn’t aware of this.
I've always wished the GIF generator could embed the subtitle like the single frame "make a meme" feature can, but it does work surprisingly well
Very cool. Maybe add some image embeddings for additional metadata for the search results?

How would someone go about doing this, just curious?

Possibly the best and most important website on the internet

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.

and https://funcooker.fun/ for 30 Rock. (I think the Frinkiac people used to run a different 30 Rock page but it went away at some point)

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.
