From 2009 to 2010, UK-based electronics retailer '''Curry's''' had a series of sponsorships during advert breaks of ''The Simpsons'' on Sky One. These adverts would usually show someone attempting to recycle, or fix their electronics until something humorous would happen, such as one involving a woman attempting to put her fridge in her car boot, leading to the window of that boot being smashed when closing and another involving a man's TV falling off while watching a wildlife program.
