This episode made me want to learn what The Prisoner was, and when i eventually saw it i loved it. It makes me so happy that Patrick McGoohan had nothing but wonderful things to say about doing the cameo in this episode.

Homer: so, who brought us here? #6: i dont know Homer: did you bring us here? #6: no

Man they really went out of their way to make homer unlikeable

It bugs me that Homer says "I am not a number, I am a man", and not "a _free_ man".

What is this a parody of?

If anyone was listing people to torture for information, grabbing Homer Simpson would not be a priority.

We'll be seeing you

information circles, information war, psychological warfare 😂

fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me; fool me three times, well, why do I ever bother.

This is terrifying and probably real

Any parody or remake that gets one or more of the original's cast to participate is always a treat.

Some people say The Simpsons was their introduction to The Prisoner. For me, however, it was a 90s CGI-animated show called ReBoot. The episode is called Number 7.

Has anyone else noticed what I did? Homer was laughing at number 6 because he's number 5. But when they did the examples of what people know, the higher numbers are looking like the more "dangerous" members. So Homer is really lower down the pecking order than a man who invented a bottomless peanut bag

This is so much better after watching The Prisoner. It can be hard to keep up with all the pop culture references in The Simpsons, but The Prisoner is absolutely worth watching regardless.

if the boat took 33 years to make and this instance was the the third time then he hade to be on the island for nearly a 99 years. Making him over century old.

So glad Patrick lived to do this!!!!

Christopher Nolan’s rumored next movie! How funny because this was one of my favorite The Simpsons episode growing up…

I come back to this more often than I'd like... just so depressing that all the BS out there has been in motion since the end of WWII

And they got Patrick McGoohan from The Prisoner to appear in this episode! Nice touch!

I love how it’s the 3rd time he got jacked 😂😂😂

He didn't even say ,"Be seeing you".

"Gee, why didn't Patrick McGoohan think of that?"

Shut up ! Thats why

1:44 am thinking about one specific allucination frame in Altered States for some reason

Mm if interested, do internet search: " prisoner+unmutual". This website now is prob the foremost re info on this hugely influential and mega cult late 1960s TV show. It also has data on the FREE location tours. They incl 2 pa in central London plus occ ones in Elstree+Borehamwood. The latter, just north of London, is the UKs Hollywood and where most of the series was filmed. The superb NW Wales village of Portmeirion was actually only used in 2 " shoots". BCNU.

Leo McKern was brilliant in this role. He probably wasn't a good fit for the early episodes but, as the show reached its conclusion, he was ideal.

The koala with the mask always had me dead ☠ its evil little laugh 😂. For anyone wondeirng how the simpsons got outnof the island, according to the writers, the FBI raided the island and freed the prisoners.

1:30 why would you think a big balloon would stop people

Funny clip, but man, Homer Simpson was really a jerkass by this point.

At the time it aired, I wonder what percentage of the audience actually knew what series it was spoofing.

“Once you get used to the druggings this isn’t a bad place” I always thought living on the Island from the Prisoner wasn’t that bad. Number 6 had his own house and I mean it really is a retirement home for spy’s though they’re trapped there. I mean Number 6 did seem to enjoy some of his stay there when he wasn’t trying to bust out of the joint. He even got into the whole “Be seeing you” greeting and was social with everyone there

“Oh no, an anti escape orb!” Homer coming up with that name on the fly always makes me laugh. Like he already knew this massive bubble was attempting to hinder his escape from the Island. This episode was a great tribute to the Prisoner

wow, I'm probably the only person here who saw the series the first time it was aired in the US - on CBS as a summer replacement, in June 1968.

You cut out the Bull plop line. Yes, yes, don't be cute.

My first experience with Patrick McGoohan was Braveheart and he was so serious it so cool to see him be a goofball on the Simpsons (although i saw this before Braveheart i wasnt family with him or this show)

He will always be Number Six to me

There's a deadly secret behind tic-tacs. 😮

That is so creepy

I remember watching this episode and being so smug about having watched The Prisoner series and getting all the inside jokes.

'Ive worked on this for 33 years' The Prisoner was 1967, this simpsons episode came out in 2000, nice attention to detail

someone drug me so i can end up on the island too

The Prisoner is incredibly underrated and prophetic.

The irony is that we are all "gassed and drugged" in the future

That's where our toilet paper went!

❤🙏 Patrick McGoohan un génie

Patrick McGoohan the best ❤🙏

Tic tacs are made of ticks. Ticks taste awful, so this is why mint flavor is added. An ingredient based on tacks is used to prolong shelf life.

I'm pretty sure - as a long-time David Lynch fan - that the idea for "The Prisoner" started with a dream where he saw that scene of the face pushing against the balloon as he was trying to escape from the island, so he had to include it as he saw it. Because otherwise, as pointed out here, it's a completely ridiculous and impractical idea.

Awww... I miss the part where Homer's face was being pushed into the balloon. They always showed the same face being pushed into the balloon from the inside, no matter who was being attacked by it. So it would have been funny to see Homer's face, but I can understand if it was TOO HARD TO ANIMATE.
