The 'Michael Jackson Episode Removal' meme refers to the 2019 decision to pull the classic Simpsons episode 'Stark Raving Dad' from syndication and streaming platforms. The episode, which famously featured Michael Jackson voicing a character who believes he is the pop star, was removed following allegations presented in a contemporary documentary. This act of corporate scrubbing became a flashpoint for internet discussions regarding media preservation and cancel culture. Memes surrounding this event usually poke fun at Disney's attempt to erase a piece of pop culture history or use the character Leon Kompowsky to represent something that has been 'disappeared' from public memory.
