It appears that the collaboration has gone beyond the Epic Games title, though, as Season 37 of <em>The Simpsons<\/em> has given one <em>Fortnite<\/em> character a hilariously grisly end. <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-simpsons-kills-off-fortnite-39-s-peely-in-latest-episode\">\n                        The Simpsons Kills Off Fortnite&#8217;s Peely in Latest Episode<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n                                        Season 37 Episode 5 of <em>The Simpsons<\/em>, titled &#8220;Bad Boys&#8230; For Life?&#8221; gives Peely an untimely demise.\n                        <\/li>\n<li>\n                                        The episode includes multiple notable characters from <em>Fortnite<\/em>.\n                        <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the episode, famous <em>Fortnite<\/em> characters like Jonesy, Meowscles, and Fishstick are held at gunpoint on the Simpson family&#8217;s couch. The characters run away, but Peely slips and falls, unfortunately ending in his death. Although Peely isn&#8217;t seen killed, his untimely ending is made clear, as the Simpsons gather around their dinner table to eat a banana split sundae out of his lifeless body. It&#8217;s a wild and hilariously morbid turn of events that perfectly encapsulates <em>The Simpsons<\/em>&#8216; special brand of chaotic humor. <\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape \">\n<div class=\"responsive-img  image-expandable  img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.2109375%\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fortnite-simpsons-gag-quests.jpg\" data-modal-id=\"single-image-modal\" data-modal-container-id=\"single-image-modal-container\" data-img-caption=\"&quot;&quot;\">\n                                                                                            <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fortnite-simpsons-gag-quests.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fortnite-simpsons-gag-quests.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=500&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fortnite-simpsons-gag-quests.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fortnite-simpsons-gag-quests.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=800&amp;dpr=2\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1023px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fortnite-simpsons-gag-quests.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fortnite-simpsons-gag-quests.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"fortnite simpsons gag quests\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fortnite-simpsons-gag-quests.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/fortnite-simpsons-gag-quests.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=825&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For fans of both <em>Fortnite<\/em>&#8216;s Peely and <em>The Simpsons<\/em>&#8216; gruesome handling of the character, the Springfielder Peely skin brings this iteration of the anthropomorphic banana to life in the game, minus the open torso full of sundae.
