"New Kids on the Blecch" is the fourteenth episode of the twelfth season of the American television series The Simpsons. It first aired on Fox in the United States on February 25, 2001. In the episode, a music producer selects Bart, Nelson, Milhouse and Ralph to be members of the next hit boy band Party Posse, who record songs containing subliminal messages about joining the Navy. The episode was written by Tim Long and directed by Steven Dean Moore. The episode's title is a play on the boy band New Kids on the Block (the second episode title to have a play on the group, the first being 1992's "New Kid on the Block") and Mad Magazine's tendency to use the word "blecch" in their parodic titles. The episode features the members of two contemporary boy bands as special guest voices: NSYNC playing themselves, and Natural providing the singing voices of Party Posse. The episode has received positive reviews from critics and was watched by over 18 million viewers.
