It's this season, #34, episode 6. If not Disney+, it's probably on Hulu. There's also an excellent Westworld parody that same episode that makes it easily the best Simpsons episode made in a very long time.
If you don't have Hulu, you can find it on himovies.
Newer Simpsons has actually been really good. Poorhouse Rock was a shockingly good episode about how lucky Homer was economically and how fucked Bart is nowadays.
Making this must have been exhausting. I have a hard enough time coming up with one name in an RPG. I want to hear the story of the guy who had to come up with all of this.
What I've found helps me is picking three or four character traits I'm going to roleplay and run them through a translator twice (ex. English -> Hawaiian-> Czech turns 'tenacious' into věrnost. Then I'd judge how badly I'd pronounce it and English-ify it a little to Verno or Varnost)
It helps to pick languages that have a few language barriers between where they originated. Like English -> German doesn't work because they share a common root language and half of German speaks English as a second language now.
I use a variation of this to write music rounds for quizzes. Run lyrics through a translator then back to English and get people to name the song. My last round was called Korea Change (i.e I translated it to Korean and back).
Ha, this is great. I checked his channel like "what does this guy even do, I hope he's a voice actor or something" and I am now cracking up at all his content.
At least some of these names have to be knockoffs of actual athletes, right? For example, he’s no “Sleve McDichael”, but Steve McMichael was a player for the Greenbay Packers football team when this game came out.
This looks like what would happen if you had a real set of American names, but then played a long game of telephone with people that have increasingly thick accents.
Odrisamer Despaigne.
Now check this out: he played for the San Diego Padres, and his name contains all the letters needed to spell out "San Diego Padres".
Oh, a big hit by Bobson Dugnutt! He collects the puck and sends it on to Dandleton.
Dandleton now with the puck. Across to Sweeney - But it's picked off by Smorin!
He finds Noginly on the breakaway! Noginly - He Scores!
Noginly hits the brakes at the last second to slip it past the bumper of goaltender Mike Truk!
And the Jonsonbill Nailers take a 2-1 lead, with 3 minutes remaining in the second period.

I was impressed that the Simpsons Death Note parody used some of these names. That's a super obscure reference!
