"The Great Phatsby" is the twelfth and thirteenth episodes of the twenty-eighth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons, and the 608th and 609th episodes of the series overall. The first part was directed by Chris Clements and written by Dan Greaney. The second part was directed by Timothy Bailey and written by Dan Greaney and Matt Selman. The episodes aired in the United States on Fox on January 15, 2017. It was the first two-part episode of the series since "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" in 1995, though it was promoted and aired as the show’s first hour-long episode in its initial airing.
The episode is a parody of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel The Great Gatsby, Jack Clayton's 1974 film version of the novel, Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film version of the novel with Tobey Maguire, and the 2015 Fox program Empire. In this episode, a wealthy, influential hip-hop artist steals Mr. Burns' fortune, so he and Homer plot revenge on him. Taraji P. Henson, Keegan-Michael Key, and Phil LaMarr guest starred. Former basketball player Charles Barkley and hip hop artists Common, RZA, and Snoop Dogg appeared as themselves. The episode received mixed reviews.
