Frinkiac is a website for users to search for words or phrases from episodes of the American animated sitcom The Simpsons. It returns screenshots related to the search terms, from which it generates memes and animated GIFs. Created by Paul Kehrer, Sean Schulte and Allie Young, the site is named after a computer built by one of the show's recurring characters, Professor Frink. The site was critically acclaimed upon its launch, and Newsweek wrote: "It may be the greatest feat of Internet engineering we've ever seen".[1] As of May 2016, screenshots from the first seventeen seasons of The Simpsons are in Frinkiac's database.
On August 8, 2016 the developers debuted Morbotron, a similar website for Futurama.[2] It was followed by Master of All Science, a Rick and Morty site in the same mold, on July 30, 2017.[3]
