You can get a bit of deenie O beenie on lwt w john Oliver. He has won a couple emmys w the writing crew there. Can't always tell which jokes are his, but his fingerprints are all over that show!😊
@@inkakoutna7155 no he didn't, if you see he intended to drink the beer until Marge called him out on it and only showered himself in the beer, in the next segment he seen drinking from a pitcher of water in various cups
Maggie's violent behaviour is attention seeking. Homer and the kids frequently forget her existence and Marge treats her more like a doll than anything else. All the intelligent stuff she does, it's always ignored by the adults. Even when she shoots Mr Burns or attacks Homer with mallet, within a few minutes she's back to being ignored. Most likely, as she gets older, she's going to try harder and harder to get attention. Just like Bart (who acts out because punishment is a form of attention) and Lisa (who hopes that she'll be noticed if she becomes famous). Of course the roles of 'the smart one' and 'the fun one' are already filled- so if Maggie wants attention she's going to have to find another way to get it and, judging by how she's going so far, violence might be it. I wouldn't be too surprised if, in a few years, Maggie buys a gun of her own, deciding that if her family won't love her, perhaps they'll fear her instead. When you look at it, Marge and Homer are awful parents.
What you can expect, look at Homers father and mother, and also on Marge sisters, not really good family, I see the series as that you take the most common things and blow them up to extreme.
you mean cartoon people who live the crazy lives and do things we wish we can do are bad parenta no way seriously go cry on facebook or redit like the bum you are
Isn't Itchy and Scratchy a satirical representation of overly violent cartoons? Like Tom and Jerry had some pretty rough physical gags so Itchy and Scratchy is an extreme version of that.
Bugs Daffy and Elmer Fudd using dynamite and shotguns The road runner coyote using every weapon you can name It's like all the cartoons us baby boomers grew up on
@Max Power is your reading into it way too much for instance the Itchy & Scratchy thing is pretty single-level it's just the straw man that people make the Simpsons out to be Violent stupid nonsensical cartoon
yes but when you zoom out the show proper, a cartoon, is just as violent. so, if like itchy and scratchy the simpsons is a violent cartoon not meant for kids, its actually critiquing itself
while I do find 99% of this video to be plausible, insightful and funny as hell, I have to point out one of the first things mentioned. In the "Space Coyote" episode, Homer promises not to drink. You guys say that he does, but after watching the episode dozens of times over the years, its clear that he upholds his promise to Marge. He almost has some beer while trying to wash down the pepper, but nope. He DOES NOT DRINK in that episode. Shame on you, calling yourself Simpsons fans and getting trivial details wrong. SHAME!
Also, they say that Homer breaks his promise and catches the fish, but that's wrong also. He goes out to take a walk, and through no fault of his own, ends up getting dragged into a boat with a fishing pole that the first had just bit on. He had no choice in the matter. And he he couldn't just let the pole go, either, because he had no oars and no way to row back to shore, so holding on to the fish and hoping it dragged him back closer to shore was his best bet. There are plenty of other times when Marge DOES have good reason to leave Homer, but she never does. And the only times when she DOES come close to leaving him, are the times when he hasn't actually done anything wrong!
I'm surprised they didn't go a step further with the Id, Ego, Super Ego theory and state that Bart, Lisa, Marge, and Maggie aren't real and are, instead, mental representations of Homer's mind. Bart is his Id and represents Homer himself as a child being raced by Abe. Lisa is his Ego and his everything Homer could have been had his mother never left and kept a firm hand on him. Marge is the Super Ego, the desire Homer has to just fit in but knowing he never can. And Maggie is his inner child, representing his potential.
There was a whole bit about this in the original script, but the original script would have resulted in a 20-minute episode, so we had to cut a lot out.
Michael Swaim thanks for all that you guys do. I'm a fan of the show and I only wish you all could do more. I have a pitch for you: tie all the 90s-00s black movies together. I can help if you'd like. It's pretty easy because some of the same directors and actors were sort of type-casted for much of that time period. Some crazy funny theories could come of it. Like, what if Bishop from juice survived and moved to the west coast to get his life together and became a mail carrier.
Brilliantly put. Now that you mention it, that may be a description of many Patriarchs with three children. Maggie does seem to really like Homer, doesn't she :-)
2:06 Personally, I would be more concerned about why Nelson Muntz, cannonically a 15 yo teenager, is interested in dating Lisa, officially a 8 yo child. He doubles her age.
About the VanHoutens, in one episode Milhouse actually flat out states that they're first cousins, so that's why they look the same. Incredibly messed up, but not clones.
Just to recap, the theories are: • When Steamboat Itchy was made, it changed media to be hyper violent going forward • Springfield is a bunch of clones • The Simpsons themselves are Freudian • Uhhh.... All the kids are geniuses but the parents are terrible?
I prefer the Marxist interpretation of the Simpson family to the Freudian one; Homer and Marge represent the reproduction of bourgeois ideology among the proletariat, (in Homer's case alcoholism and apathy, in Marge's case moral puritanism and social conservatism) Bart and Lisa represent a proletarian class-consciousness that is still teathered within the confines of the bourgeois socio-political order (Bart's anarchism, Lisa's liberalism) and Maggie represents the latent revolutionary potential of the proletariat. (Hence why she shot Mr. Burns, Springfield's embodiment of the bourgeoisie)
You know what my Theory is? While Homer is an idiot in almost every category . . he is a musical genius. think about it. He won a Grammy while in his band the B-Sharps, which he WROTE songs for, He wrote that song about hating Ned Flanders which was on top of the charts for awhile and had several spinoffs (the least of which being William Shatners cover of it), And when Lisa auditioned for sort of a child American Idol singing contest Homer acted as her agent and wrote a song for her to sing in her first act in less then a minute, and continued to write songs for her which took her to the finals. Homer could have easily settled for a career as a Musician and left his Power Plant job, but since the premise of "Idiot in the most dangerous job possible" is comedic gold of course it never happened.
+TomboTime thats Because homer is a genus he just has a crayon up his nose somehow disabling part of his brain. (ep 257, s12, 2001) where do you think the kids get it from? problem is he shoved it back in because Lisa was jealous.... Lisa is completely self centered.. who knows if he secretly takes it out to do things like writing music or anything else.
It's been a while since I've seen that episode, but i thought Homer put the crayon back in because he was outlasted by the rest of the stupid town? Also I'm pretty sure lisa didn't ask him to put it back in, in fact she was scared when she realized one of the crayons in her box was missing.
+DarkShadowsX5 Lisa wasn't jealous. She loved having someone who was finally her intellectual equal, but Homer wasn't happy being a genius surrounded by idiots.
+DarkShadowsX5 Actually he put it back in because he was losing friends from being too smart, he annoyed them when he corrected what they said. Also in one of the newer episodes (say what you will) Carl (Karl?) is revealed to have an iq over 200. I believe it is the Google glass episode. Back on topic though that episode you are referring to has a terrible message, be smart, or have friends and that is not something you want to teach kids.
I thought in S08E09 Homer didn't get drunk? I thought that was part of the misunderstanding, he wasn't drinking to get drunk. He needed something to get rid of the Peppers spice..? & in the end he doesn't even end up having any alcohol. It's a pitcher of water he's sitting with at the table after.
+Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez He might not of ACTUALLY gotten drunk, but it was pretty clear that Marge THOUGHT he did. They were describing the episode from her perspective.
+sabin97 Again, from her perspective, she had no reason to believe that he hadn't gotten drunk. Honestly, he never actually made any real attempt to explain himself... First he's holding several pints screaming that he "needs it", then he acts like a complete nut job and, to finish it off, claims that it's because he went to a strange fantasy world. Only reason we agree with him is because we actually saw what he went through.
Gotta say I hate episodes of After Hours in which the group is self aware of what they are doing. By that I mean picking a topic and, usually, whining about it. The appeal this series had before was that it was a group of friends just shooting the shit and some crazy thing would just become the topic... Now its like "what dumb bullshit are we going to pull out of our collective asses today? SIMPSONS?! Finally!"
Fan theory: "After Hours" takes place post-earth, in space, in the same diner that's featured in Space Balls, in the year 2407... Because he says The Simpsons has had 418 seasons at 0:56 ... So clearly it's like almost 400 years in the future in the "After Hours" timeline.
No, Fit Tony was his cousin. He got used to mafia life and became Fit Fat Tony, but ultimately was treated as the new Fat Tony. However, since then we have further evidence that episode happened. We have never seen Fit Fat Tony lay flowers at his deceased wife's grave on Sunday or Michael, his son. We do however see a playboy Tony who hooks up with Selma, Fat Tony would never have slept around as he cares too much for his wife.
I always thought the reason everyone acts and sometimes looks the same is because Bart not only missed his dad, but imagines how he would have reacted to today's world. Way back in season 4 " Homer's triple bypass", Homer has a series of heart attacks and they went to Dr. Nick for the operation where he dies on the table. Bart becomes so upset with the loss that he creates a world were the smartest person he knows could have done a better job. This is why here after, Lisa is allowed to do incredible feats such as to perform the operation and save there dad. First Dr. Nick appears to tell the family Homer died, but in Bart's mind Lisa comes from behind to say it was a success. This could be like the ending of Rosanne where she is writing a book about her family where Dan didn't die. The entire show could be Bart's memoirs about his family for a book he writes while he is a Supreme Court judge. This why the Simpsons keep predicting the future because for Bart... it all has already happened.
+Smaakjeks K This. How did they get that wrong? It's such a landmark episode. The whole reason why Homer sets out to find his "true" soulmate is because he didn't get drunk but Marge didn't believe him.
Godzillasaur Buttersworth That's true, but one _could_ make allowances for that fact since if Marge were to ask again about that day, Homer could explain what happened. But, obviously the episode is written and edited for the satisfaction of the audience, not Marge. The audience knows he is "innocent".
Oh man... An after hours review of all the Simpsons eps from S1-S9?! Can you guys just change this whole show to specifically talk about this forever?!
Wallace Crowmanproject yeah yhey described the wrong episode to start. marge never got mad at him in that episode she had been looking for him since the chili cook off.
She forbid him to get drunk because he embarrased her. But when the chilli burned his tongue he poured beer on his head and she got mad. But he was tripping from the chilli, not beer. Also Johny Cash was the coyote but you guys knew that already
"Psychologists consider Freud bullshit" Sure, except for all the stuff that is just considered "psychology" and isn't associated with Freud in most people's minds, that he nonetheless invented. Coping mechanisms? Psychological defenses? The subconscious? Not bullshit, all Freud.
He drank some beers... or a minuscule amount that was left of them. But it was just an attempt to cool his tongue, and he spilled most of it on his face.
Something to support "Bart is actually smart" is an episode (i can't remember which) where it's learned that all MALE Simpsons and male Simpsons only, go through a kind of neural degradation as they age. Before Lisa learns that it only affects male Simpsons, she begins to worry that she's going through that process. she rifles through some of Bart's homework of when he was younger and learns that he was a straight "A" student until he was affected by whatever it is that causes Simpsons men to decrease in intelligence around the age of 8
+TheRealPearl Due to the restriction they placed on the topic this episode doesn't count as it comes a few episodes after their cut off point of season 9 episode 2
That's a bunch of baloney. Genetics doesn't work like that. The premise of that episode was idiotic, but I excused it only because I could relate to Lisa's fears of becoming an idiot.
I think now a days, everyone should play a drinking game every time someone brings up false flag racism, sexism or any other PC buzzwords that are trying to be jokes.
Oroku Saki society would be hammered 24/7 7 days a week 4 weeks a month 12 months a year. The only ones still standing would be straight edgers and Ned Flanders.....and that's a world I just don't want to live in
He still strangles. I think Season 22, 23 or 24 had no strangles (1 of the 3, not all 3). Season 28 is yet to be seen and Season 27 he strangles Bart a couple of times.
Or maybe the writers realized that strangling children joke thing got old and unfunny with time.....whats with the deal with people blaming everything on pc culture? it's such a lazy criticism.
All these points actually make sense if you consider the Simpson's coma theory. It's the one that suggests that everything from the episode "So It's Come to This" has been taking place inside Homer's head, as he's in a coma. The episode's a clip show, which I assume is why they didn't mention it - however, it does explain a lot of things. Springfield is so violent because Homer himself loves violence (we've seen how much he laughs at itchy and scratchy), marge always forgives him because in his mind he doesn't understand that he's done anything truly wrong. And Bart, Lisa and Marge become the id, ego, and superego of his own subconscious. It also explains why no-one really ages, or why most characters can't seem to die
Homer didn't get drunk in the soulmate episode. He ate way too strong chili and it made him halucinogenic due to the pain of probably burning his esophagus and is accused of being drunk by everyone but he never actually got drunk
+Sebastian Ferguson I was so going to rant on this. He needed a drink because it burned so badly and beer was the first drink he found. Which I say means Chief wiggum put some bloody acid in that chili. Plus it wasnt only the pain it was also the wax coating his throat so he could regain his dignity. Which again nobody should laugh at because there must be some serious chemicals to do that to a guy. Bet Wiggum himself couldnt eat it.
+Sebastian Ferguson homer only drank the beer to try to get rid of the spiciness from the Guatemalan insanity pepper, and because marge saw him drinking the beers, she assumed he was getting drunk, even though he wasn't. also, that episode ruled, also the coyote is johnny cash.
Calvin Lee Homer goes to drink them but when he turns to see marge watchin the beer misses his mouth so doesnt actually drink is what theyre saying. i think in the end he drins a candle. lol great episode...
She Dot he drinks the candle at first, to coat his mouth in wax, so he doesn't taste any spiciness. it's been at least 15 years since i've seen this episode, i don't know how i remember such small things. i think that just shows you how great the show once was.
LarsDragonbeard I know, but it would just be interesting to see because the himym characters' problematic behaviour is quite different from that in friends
DId Homer really get drunk in that soulmate-chili episode with the Spanish title? The way I remember it he tried to drink, got spotted, drank wax with Ralph and then ate insanity peppers. I mean yeah, he drinks something from red cups but we don't know that it was alcohol. And he never seems drunk, if I recall correctly. Just tripping balls because of the aforementioned chili pepper.
They made that episode after an earlier announcement from trump that he was running or considering running, or whatever. They werent predicting the future, they were mocking the present.
In the episode that Lisa is President, which was the gypsy vision, Bart was no where close to the age he was in the Itchy and Scratchy movie episode with the Bart is the supreme court vision. Presidents can only serve two terms, maybe right at the end of her 2nd term?
@@Eric13345 Bart didn't need to be closed to the age he was in the episode he was showing his a Supreme Court Justice because Supreme Court Justices don't have terms they generally stay Supreme Court Justices their whole lives and in the episode where she was President he happened to be helping her out a lot so she both owed him a favor and knew he had political chops and he was in or graduated from law school
Yeah, but that's in "modern" times. The show has been around a lot longer than Krusty has. He probably just bought the syndication rights, or something.
but they continously keep making itchy and scratchy, there's a whole disney-like industry behind them, to the point of winning multiple awards and keep current themes and references
Wait a moment, his catching the General was an accident, he was pulled into the boat when trying to alert someone else. And in the pepper episode, he never got drunk, he attempted to because of extreme circumstances....
Lisa: Don't worry, Bart. It seems like every week something odd happens to the Simpsons. My advice is to ride it out, make the occasional smart-alec quip, and by next week we'll be back to where we started from, ready for another wacky adventure. Bart: Ay, caramba! Lisa: That's the spirit.
Two things I caught: 1) one of the patches Bart sewed onto his Boy Scout uniform (Junior Camper uniform, technically) was for Patch Forgery, so I think it's safe to say he didn't earn ALL of them, and 2) that bit about Homer drinking after promising not to left out the part about being goaded into eating a dangerously hot pepper and searching desperately for any liquid to cool his tongue with. And hell, he still didn't actually drink any of that beer because Marge distracted him and he didn't even get any in his mouth. Also, even though Marge was mad at him for that, that episode was actually about Homer thinking about leaving HER because he started to feel like she didn't understand him, so her proving herself to him at the end isn't as backwards as they said. Not to say Marge isn't an enabler, though, because wow is she an enabler.
+Kurt Reinkemeyer Also in the fishing one, he didn't go out fishing on purpose, he was out for a walk & when he tried to hand a fishing rod back to it's owner the catfish bit the line & pulled him out onto the lake in the boat. I guess he could have let go of the rod though.
At 5:00 inaccuracy. Homer did not drink, it appeared to Marge that he did but it was the “InsaneOAsylum Pepper” that caused Homer to hallucinate and go on his Johnny Cash infused mystic journey.
Yes! And if I'm remembering it correctly, he never actually ingested alcohol. He was going to drink the beer to douse the burning I. His mouth but turned his face before the beer went in his mouth.
Not to mention, they totally missed the point of Homer's quest in that episode. Of course Marge has always been his soul mate, but he had to have that doubt cast on himself and rediscover _why_ she is his soul mate to better appreciate her.
And you all missed the part where they mentioned that there was enough material in the show to contradict every point they had just made and then even contradict those contradictions.
I honestly believe you guys are better, more insightful and more intelligent pop culture commentators than just about anyone. You do a really good job of pointing out thought provoking elements while also being highly amusing. Also, you somehow manage to bring up issues pertaining to (gasp!) social justice without incurring the wrath of all those people who seem to think that suggesting the world isn't always an entirely fair place all the time is tantamount to calling for the death penalty for everyone who has testicles or relatively low melanin levels. Wow, that sentence kind of dragged on, sorry. Anyway! Some of your points are more flippant than others, obviously, but that's cool, you don't want to start taking yourselves too seriously. Keep up the good work!
+pliskinn0089 Well they said they were only doing the first 8 seasons and episode 1 of season 9. He doesn't come back until season 15 so within the limits of their cut off he is dead.
You have to take into account that a lot of the writers of the show are graduates of college ranging from Bachelors to Masters (i think PhDs as well) of various backgrounds.
*1)*: Episode from last night: Lisa saving a raccoon and says it was her first true kiss. Nelson is present and played for laughs as either an insignificant mistake in Lisa's past or secretly pining for her (which would make him on par with Milhouse). *2)*: Bart learns Spanish during a flight to Brazil. This is impressive in itself, but when Lisa points out that in Brazil they speak Portuguese, he bashes his head and says "all gone". What kind of superpowers does he have to turn on and off his intellect? Almost like he can adjust it to allow only for relevant data to work at full capacity. *3)*: The episode "Bart The Genius" sort of pissed me off. Bart switches the test with Martin and Bart gets send to a school for gifted children. Yet when it's revealed he's not a genius Martin is not only not sent instead to the same school, but he's kept in the same class as Bart. He doesn't even get to skip a class or something. *4)*: Freud isn't considered bullshit by today's psychiatrists/psychologists. In fact some years ago I spoke to a psychology student regarding the curriculum and I've been told that Freud is the basis of modern psychology, while C.G. Jung is practically not taught at all. This was in Sweden, but I think the curriculum is similar throughout the Western World and if you want to become a Jungian psychoanalyst you have to go through a different program.
In the space coyote episode i recall Homer actually kept his promise not to drink, but after eating the hottest pepper in the world he needed a way to cool his mouth off and desperately grabbed beer mugs without thinking.
True, but it still looked like he broke his promise, and didn't really say or do anything to prove his innocence, yet Marge came back to him anyway, which does seem kind of enabling
Daniel Jones I'd like to argue he couldn't. His mouth was burnt and Marge immediately jumped to saying he broke his promise. I mean, not having water or milk at a *chili* contest seems weird to me, but I wouldn't blame Homer on that one.
Except homer didn't get drunk in the episode with the lighthouse... He almost drank it because of the hot pepper, but no alcohol touched his tongue. He had a bad trip from the pepper. Bad example. Homer through the catfish back to proove that marge is more important. it was late, but it was still the overall choice.
Not trying to start a fight, was just wondering could you explain the differences in episodes after season 9? I never even knew there was a golden age or what defined the two. Tho to be fair I only ever watched the episodes on TV or the new episodes back when Foxtel first came out in 2000's so I've only really watched up to season 10 I reckon..
The audience laughing as Crusty has a heart attack is a reference to Tommy Cooper, who died on stage, and the crowd laughed for 2 minutes before the alarms were sounded. The children ward dedicated to things copied from tv would be a reference to the 1000s of injuries that occurred from kids copying the ninja turtles in the 80s.
Calvin Lee no in the video they said she died but the character never died. The actress who played her did so the creators said she will not be in it anymore...they didn't kill her she just kinda disappears
TH-cam 101 that makes sense. it would seem maybe a bit disrespectful to kill her character after the actress died. if not disrespectful, at least uncomfortable to watch, knowing the actress was actually dead.
Could it be possible that EVERYONE in the show is just a figment of Homer's mind and that every episode is some new idea his brain gets to keep himself from realizing that he's all alone in the world?
When the simpsons where good, they where REALLY good. They where able to use every character to their full advantage. In later seasons the writers seem clueless about how to write Lisa and Marge.
+Willem Verheij And satire. And memorable (celebrity) guest characters. And interesting plot lines. That the show is a sad shadow of its former self now. And if people don't agree, then they're wrong, simple as that.
+Sacha Daenens 1) While I do agree with you, not being open to any argument presenting a different viewpoint, is somewhat counter productive. 2) It was kind of inevitable. Either a) you keep writing the same plot lines, and stick to what you know, and the show eventually goes stale. or b) you keep trying something different, like new plot lines and how to use characters, and people complain about how different it is. Eventually, with the show going on this long, it is inevitable that one of the two will happen.
The Gentleman Probably would have been best if they just stopped the show at a high point, its sadly something that many succesfull shows won't do. Most jump the shark at some point.
There's a blurry line between fan theories and just talking about what's already there.. so then it's not a theory it's just observations. This is a huge pet peeve of mine.
It's like those revenge stories that just involve someone filling out a complaint form when someone is unprofessional and then hearing back that a couple of other people also filled out complaint forms and the person was fired It's not revenge in the slightest, just civic duty.
what a misleading title, hilariously paired with the misleading connotation of a misleading title because this is a lot more interesting than "4 Simpsons Fan Theories (That Might Be True)" btw cool video
… and who could blame him? I would keep an eye on that monstrous, pink toothkiller as well if it would lie in front of me for 13 minutes straight without being allowed to eat from it.
+AmazingJoe96 In her defense everybody told her he was drunk. Including the priests wife, who is way to much of a gossipy bitch to possibly believe in God.
AmazingJoe96 But he's an alcoholic and acted weird some time after he had it. Plus its probably the wax as well. My bet is the chili killed any animal Chief Wiggum tried it on.... God I am irrationaly angry at the priests wife remembering her dialogue.... How can she be such a bitch and yet married to the priest?

August West word!!
I hope someone was fired for that blunder
While he doesn't get drunk, he does attempt to break his promise multiple times.
Also, they say that Homer breaks his promise and catches the fish, but that's wrong also. He goes out to take a walk, and through no fault of his own, ends up getting dragged into a boat with a fishing pole that the first had just bit on. He had no choice in the matter. And he he couldn't just let the pole go, either, because he had no oars and no way to row back to shore, so holding on to the fish and hoping it dragged him back closer to shore was his best bet.
There are plenty of other times when Marge DOES have good reason to leave Homer, but she never does. And the only times when she DOES come close to leaving him, are the times when he hasn't actually done anything wrong!
@@graydonsmith5722 Why do you think we don't have After Hours anymore?
I'm surprised they didn't go a step further with the Id, Ego, Super Ego theory and state that Bart, Lisa, Marge, and Maggie aren't real and are, instead, mental representations of Homer's mind. Bart is his Id and represents Homer himself as a child being raced by Abe. Lisa is his Ego and his everything Homer could have been had his mother never left and kept a firm hand on him. Marge is the Super Ego, the desire Homer has to just fit in but knowing he never can. And Maggie is his inner child, representing his potential.
Thanks for my thesis project in psychology class lol
There was a whole bit about this in the original script, but the original script would have resulted in a 20-minute episode, so we had to cut a lot out.
Michael Swaim thanks for all that you guys do. I'm a fan of the show and I only wish you all could do more. I have a pitch for you: tie all the 90s-00s black movies together. I can help if you'd like. It's pretty easy because some of the same directors and actors were sort of type-casted for much of that time period. Some crazy funny theories could come of it. Like, what if Bishop from juice survived and moved to the west coast to get his life together and became a mail carrier.
Brilliantly put. Now that you mention it, that may be a description of many Patriarchs with three children. Maggie does seem to really like Homer, doesn't she :-)
Michael Swaim i woulda happily watches a 20 minute simpsons episode tho
2:06
Personally, I would be more concerned about why Nelson Muntz, cannonically a 15 yo teenager, is interested in dating Lisa, officially a 8 yo child.
He doubles her age.
Hes a child... you are a sick pervert. Leave the children out of your depraved sexuality.
About the VanHoutens, in one episode Milhouse actually flat out states that they're first cousins, so that's why they look the same. Incredibly messed up, but not clones.
It's legal in some states.
Legal or not, still messed up.
Isn't cousin-marrying a Shelbyville thing? It's the cornerstone of their civilization, and that's where Luann Van Houton is from.
He also says he thinks that his parents are siblings
Bill Slocum Luanne is from Shelbyville.
Just to recap, the theories are:
• When Steamboat Itchy was made, it changed media to be hyper violent going forward
• Springfield is a bunch of clones
• The Simpsons themselves are Freudian
• Uhhh.... All the kids are geniuses but the parents are terrible?
Chesterson Jack yes u god it
I prefer the Marxist interpretation of the Simpson family to the Freudian one; Homer and Marge represent the reproduction of bourgeois ideology among the proletariat, (in Homer's case alcoholism and apathy, in Marge's case moral puritanism and social conservatism) Bart and Lisa represent a proletarian class-consciousness that is still teathered within the confines of the bourgeois socio-political order (Bart's anarchism, Lisa's liberalism) and Maggie represents the latent revolutionary potential of the proletariat. (Hence why she shot Mr. Burns, Springfield's embodiment of the bourgeoisie)
Nevin Zehr wow
Wooooah mind blown....its perfect
I’m definitely watching episodes from this perspective now...
This should have been spoken about
You know what my Theory is? While Homer is an idiot in almost every category . . he is a musical genius.
think about it. He won a Grammy while in his band the B-Sharps, which he WROTE songs for, He wrote that song about hating Ned Flanders which was on top of the charts for awhile and had several spinoffs (the least of which being William Shatners cover of it), And when Lisa auditioned for sort of a child American Idol singing contest Homer acted as her agent and wrote a song for her to sing in her first act in less then a minute, and continued to write songs for her which took her to the finals.
Homer could have easily settled for a career as a Musician and left his Power Plant job, but since the premise of "Idiot in the most dangerous job possible" is comedic gold of course it never happened.
+TomboTime thats Because homer is a genus he just has a crayon up his nose somehow disabling part of his brain. (ep 257, s12, 2001) where do you think the kids get it from? problem is he shoved it back in because Lisa was jealous.... Lisa is completely self centered..
who knows if he secretly takes it out to do things like writing music or anything else.
It's been a while since I've seen that episode, but i thought Homer put the crayon back in because he was outlasted by the rest of the stupid town? Also I'm pretty sure lisa didn't ask him to put it back in, in fact she was scared when she realized one of the crayons in her box was missing.
+DarkShadowsX5
Lisa wasn't jealous. She loved having someone who was finally her intellectual equal, but Homer wasn't happy being a genius surrounded by idiots.
+DarkShadowsX5 Actually he put it back in because he was losing friends from being too smart, he annoyed them when he corrected what they said. Also in one of the newer episodes (say what you will) Carl (Karl?) is revealed to have an iq over 200. I believe it is the Google glass episode. Back on topic though that episode you are referring to has a terrible message, be smart, or have friends and that is not something you want to teach kids.
And in that Covercraft episode
2024 checking in
With you bro
Hollah!!!! From an Ultimate Simpsons fan ❤
September 2024 watching. Quick Question brought up After Hours.
Miss this show.
I enjoy these a lot. Thanks for making them all.
I thought in S08E09 Homer didn't get drunk? I thought that was part of the misunderstanding, he wasn't drinking to get drunk. He needed something to get rid of the Peppers spice..? & in the end he doesn't even end up having any alcohol. It's a pitcher of water he's sitting with at the table after.
+Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez yeah I call BS on them for that... I hate when they make statements like that fly in face of the entire narrative of the show.
agreed
+Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez He might not of ACTUALLY gotten drunk, but it was pretty clear that Marge THOUGHT he did. They were describing the episode from her perspective.
+Connor Campbell-Bisson
then she misjudged him.
and SHE should have been the one to apologize....
+sabin97 Again, from her perspective, she had no reason to believe that he hadn't gotten drunk.
Honestly, he never actually made any real attempt to explain himself...
First he's holding several pints screaming that he "needs it", then he acts like a complete nut job and, to finish it off, claims that it's because he went to a strange fantasy world.
Only reason we agree with him is because we actually saw what he went through.
Gotta say I hate episodes of After Hours in which the group is self aware of what they are doing. By that I mean picking a topic and, usually, whining about it. The appeal this series had before was that it was a group of friends just shooting the shit and some crazy thing would just become the topic... Now its like "what dumb bullshit are we going to pull out of our collective asses today? SIMPSONS?! Finally!"
+KeijiMaeda86 Life is hard.
+KeijiMaeda86 tbh the meta jokes are some of the funniest
+Cracked being funny about the same thing for years and years can be very difficult.
+Cracked Don't listen to that person...you guys are awesome and have great chemistry with each other. Don't ever stop. We love you.
+MelindaBane foreal, what this person said, we love you keep on keeping on, life's a garden dig it.
Fan theory: "After Hours" takes place post-earth, in space, in the same diner that's featured in Space Balls, in the year 2407... Because he says The Simpsons has had 418 seasons at 0:56 ... So clearly it's like almost 400 years in the future in the "After Hours" timeline.
+Mark Graves Let the fanfiction writing begin.
you forgot about fat tony and how he got replaced with buff tony there could be a skinny tony and a tall tony and a black tony ect
No, Fit Tony was his cousin.
He got used to mafia life and became Fit Fat Tony, but ultimately was treated as the new Fat Tony.
However, since then we have further evidence that episode happened. We have never seen Fit Fat Tony lay flowers at his deceased wife's grave on Sunday or Michael, his son. We do however see a playboy Tony who hooks up with Selma, Fat Tony would never have slept around as he cares too much for his wife.
I always thought the reason everyone acts and sometimes looks the same is because Bart not only missed his dad, but imagines how he would have reacted to today's world. Way back in season 4 " Homer's triple bypass", Homer has a series of heart attacks and they went to Dr. Nick for the operation where he dies on the table. Bart becomes so upset with the loss that he creates a world were the smartest person he knows could have done a better job. This is why here after, Lisa is allowed to do incredible feats such as to perform the operation and save there dad. First Dr. Nick appears to tell the family Homer died, but in Bart's mind Lisa comes from behind to say it was a success. This could be like the ending of Rosanne where she is writing a book about her family where Dan didn't die. The entire show could be Bart's memoirs about his family for a book he writes while he is a Supreme Court judge. This why the Simpsons keep predicting the future because for Bart... it all has already happened.
woop woop woop woop woop woopwoopwoopwoopwoop
Robert Cortez ... Holy Shit ...That's a great theory...
You win
Robert Cortez w
Ah yes, the Roseanne approach.
5:00
Homer doesn't get drunk on the space coyote episode. He goes on a Guatemalan chili pepper trip. Homer kept his word.
Yea, but Marge didn't know that
+Smaakjeks K
This.
How did they get that wrong? It's such a landmark episode. The whole reason why Homer sets out to find his "true" soulmate is because he didn't get drunk but Marge didn't believe him.
Godzillasaur Buttersworth
That's true, but one _could_ make allowances for that fact since if Marge were to ask again about that day, Homer could explain what happened. But, obviously the episode is written and edited for the satisfaction of the audience, not Marge. The audience knows he is "innocent".
AdalRoderick
Yep yep.
+Godzillasaur Buttersworth Yea, but the After Hours crew should have. They still state he got drunk when he didn't
6:06 "I'M LOSING MY PERSPICACITY!" thank you for this
Oh man... An after hours review of all the Simpsons eps from S1-S9?! Can you guys just change this whole show to specifically talk about this forever?!
but Homer didn't drink in the space coyote episode.
True dat.
He poured beer on his head. I never got drunk like that.
Wallace Crowmanproject yeah yhey described the wrong episode to start. marge never got mad at him in that episode she had been looking for him since the chili cook off.
She did get mad at him, only under false pretenses, that's why Homer left to find his true soul mate.
She forbid him to get drunk because he embarrased her. But when the chilli burned his tongue he poured beer on his head and she got mad. But he was tripping from the chilli, not beer. Also Johny Cash was the coyote but you guys knew that already
"Famously predicted tiger maulings" Carol Baskins husband
Holy shit that was already ten months ago!?
Mfvdvvdvffdffvfdvfvfvfdvdvvdvdfvfvdvdfdvffvfvdvdfvfvgfdvffvvdvfffdvvddvdfvfvdvfddgfvffvfvfvfvfvdfffvfvvffvgffvffvddfdffvfvffvdvdvdffffbxgxggxxggn
"Psychologists consider Freud bullshit"
Sure, except for all the stuff that is just considered "psychology" and isn't associated with Freud in most people's minds, that he nonetheless invented.
Coping mechanisms? Psychological defenses? The subconscious? Not bullshit, all Freud.
Homer didn't get drunk in the lighthouse exsample. He ate an insanity pepper.
He drank some beers... or a minuscule amount that was left of them. But it was just an attempt to cool his tongue, and he spilled most of it on his face.
My favourite running gag in After Hours was Michael thinking the topic was gonna be impossibly niche - fantastic
Who else noticed Swaim had a giant pink donut? I didn't see that until my second watch-through.
2nd viewing? I didn't notice till I saw your comment just now .. I've been rewatching these guys on and off ever since...
I'm surprised no one mentioned how intelligent Homer can be if he removed the crayon from his nose.
After Hours has clickbait, that actually deliveries what it promises and more
than that would mean its not clickbait..
Something to support "Bart is actually smart" is an episode (i can't remember which) where it's learned that all MALE Simpsons and male Simpsons only, go through a kind of neural degradation as they age. Before Lisa learns that it only affects male Simpsons, she begins to worry that she's going through that process. she rifles through some of Bart's homework of when he was younger and learns that he was a straight "A" student until he was affected by whatever it is that causes Simpsons men to decrease in intelligence around the age of 8
+TheRealPearl Due to the restriction they placed on the topic this episode doesn't count as it comes a few episodes after their cut off point of season 9 episode 2
George Oliver ohh
The Simpsons appears to just be a strong case of ADHD not some kind of brain damage
That's a bunch of baloney. Genetics doesn't work like that. The premise of that episode was idiotic, but I excused it only because I could relate to Lisa's fears of becoming an idiot.
Karl Hiramanek Are you aware of this hot new thing called "dementia"?
THIS is my life now. Re-watching old After Hours vids
LOOK AT THAT GIANT PINK DONUT
yarden calif I WANT IT SO BAD
Has anyone else realised that Homer doesn't strangle Bart anymore in the newer Simpsons episodes?!??
pc police made its way to Simpsons, that's why Marge doesn't make sense anymore, they finally became dated
I think now a days, everyone should play a drinking game every time someone brings up false flag racism, sexism or any other PC buzzwords that are trying to be jokes.
Oroku Saki society would be hammered 24/7 7 days a week 4 weeks a month 12 months a year. The only ones still standing would be straight edgers and Ned Flanders.....and that's a world I just don't want to live in
He still strangles. I think Season 22, 23 or 24 had no strangles (1 of the 3, not all 3). Season 28 is yet to be seen and Season 27 he strangles Bart a couple of times.
Or maybe the writers realized that strangling children joke thing got old and unfunny with time.....whats with the deal with people blaming everything on pc culture? it's such a lazy criticism.
All these points actually make sense if you consider the Simpson's coma theory. It's the one that suggests that everything from the episode "So It's Come to This" has been taking place inside Homer's head, as he's in a coma. The episode's a clip show, which I assume is why they didn't mention it - however, it does explain a lot of things. Springfield is so violent because Homer himself loves violence (we've seen how much he laughs at itchy and scratchy), marge always forgives him because in his mind he doesn't understand that he's done anything truly wrong. And Bart, Lisa and Marge become the id, ego, and superego of his own subconscious. It also explains why no-one really ages, or why most characters can't seem to die
Homer didn't get drunk in the soulmate episode. He ate way too strong chili and it made him halucinogenic due to the pain of probably burning his esophagus and is accused of being drunk by everyone but he never actually got drunk
+Sebastian Ferguson I was so going to rant on this. He needed a drink because it burned so badly and beer was the first drink he found. Which I say means Chief wiggum put some bloody acid in that chili. Plus it wasnt only the pain it was also the wax coating his throat so he could regain his dignity. Which again nobody should laugh at because there must be some serious chemicals to do that to a guy. Bet Wiggum himself couldnt eat it.
+TheDark4light wasnt it like an insanity pepper or something he used
+Sebastian Ferguson homer only drank the beer to try to get rid of the spiciness from the Guatemalan insanity pepper, and because marge saw him drinking the beers, she assumed he was getting drunk, even though he wasn't. also, that episode ruled, also the coyote is johnny cash.
Calvin Lee Homer goes to drink them but when he turns to see marge watchin the beer misses his mouth so doesnt actually drink is what theyre saying. i think in the end he drins a candle. lol great episode...
She Dot he drinks the candle at first, to coat his mouth in wax, so he doesn't taste any spiciness.
it's been at least 15 years since i've seen this episode, i don't know how i remember such small things. i think that just shows you how great the show once was.
Rewatching all the after hours clips atm, I forgot how good and well researched they are.
Looks like it's going to be another late night!!
Holy shit, Dans wearing a Hamilton shirt!
I freaked out when I say XD that's so awesome tho!
I SAW IT TOO AND FREAKED THIS IS AWESOME
I Was So Happy
Yeah, he didn't throw away his shot
I'm just like my country I'm young scrappy and hungry
In the episode where Homer housesits for Mr. Burns, one room in his mansion clearly has some cloned fetuses of both himself and Smithers.
Please do after hours involving how I met your mother
yes!!!!!!
+renji90998 please noooooooooooo
+renji90998 yes!! himym is problematic as shit and the characters are all terrible people
+renji90998 +RachelKatWalsh they sorta already did. himym is basically the next generations' "Friends"
LarsDragonbeard I know, but it would just be interesting to see because the himym characters' problematic behaviour is quite different from that in friends
DId Homer really get drunk in that soulmate-chili episode with the Spanish title? The way I remember it he tried to drink, got spotted, drank wax with Ralph and then ate insanity peppers. I mean yeah, he drinks something from red cups but we don't know that it was alcohol. And he never seems drunk, if I recall correctly. Just tripping balls because of the aforementioned chili pepper.
The subtle homage to Quentin Tarantino's film-making style right as Michael mentions the director at the 8 minute mark was very cool.
Donald Trump becomes president: Simpsons did it.
Not to mention the one where Ralph is running for president and he says "I want to make America great again."
I believe that was based upon Ronald Reagan who had the same slogan in one of his runs in the 1980s however.
Evil Paragon 2 Oh my god!
They made that episode after an earlier announcement from trump that he was running or considering running, or whatever. They werent predicting the future, they were mocking the present.
chris hubbard Or both.
0:45
Michael assumes the conversation is to be about the previous specific case rather than the broader topic.
After Hours did it! Episode 29!
is dan wearing a hamilton shirt
+Emily Sorano ITS THE YOUNG SCRAPPY AND HUNGRY SHIRT HOLY SHIT AHHH
He was given a Supreme Court position by Lisa who's the President
is that cannon?
In the episode that Lisa is President, which was the gypsy vision, Bart was no where close to the age he was in the Itchy and Scratchy movie episode with the Bart is the supreme court vision. Presidents can only serve two terms, maybe right at the end of her 2nd term?
Eric13345 I think it was that Lisa mentions in her speech recovering from economic problems caused by the previous president "president Trump"
@@Eric13345 Bart didn't need to be closed to the age he was in the episode he was showing his a Supreme Court Justice because Supreme Court Justices don't have terms they generally stay Supreme Court Justices their whole lives and in the episode where she was President he happened to be helping her out a lot so she both owed him a favor and knew he had political chops and he was in or graduated from law school
Congress still has to approve the appointment though.
Itchy and Scratchy definitely is aimed at children because it's aired on Krusty's show.
itchy and scratchy is a more gory version of Tom and Jerry anyone realise that
Jack Hargreaves cs55x
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?
Yeah, but that's in "modern" times. The show has been around a lot longer than Krusty has. He probably just bought the syndication rights, or something.
but they continously keep making itchy and scratchy, there's a whole disney-like industry behind them, to the point of winning multiple awards and keep current themes and references
YEAH!! Daniel rocking a Hamilton shirt!!!
Like Katie said: It's a 0-0-0-0 tie.
Daniel: 21
Soren: 16
Katie: 17
Michael: 21
One of my fav series on TH-cam! I get so excited whenever this is uploaded
Wrooooong. Homer doesn't get drunk at the Chilli festival. He hallucinates because of the peppers.
Wait a moment, his catching the General was an accident, he was pulled into the boat when trying to alert someone else. And in the pepper episode, he never got drunk, he attempted to because of extreme circumstances....
Lisa: Don't worry, Bart. It seems like every week something odd happens to the Simpsons. My advice is to ride it out, make the occasional smart-alec quip, and by next week we'll be back to where we started from, ready for another wacky adventure.
Bart: Ay, caramba!
Lisa: That's the spirit.
Dan's shirt is from the musical Hamilton. It's amazing!
Damn I wish I could close my eyes and watch any episode of The Simpsons, I wanted...
When I do that all I see is porn.
+NodMan Bender?
+Kanadyjska Wydra But those girls don't wear cases! You can see their bare circuits!
But Homer DIDN'T drink. He ate a really hot pepper that messed him up..!
That's what I was thinking!
I need more of this after hours episodes. So good!
Homer didn't get drunk that time. It was the Wiggum's chilli!
Two things I caught: 1) one of the patches Bart sewed onto his Boy Scout uniform (Junior Camper uniform, technically) was for Patch Forgery, so I think it's safe to say he didn't earn ALL of them, and 2) that bit about Homer drinking after promising not to left out the part about being goaded into eating a dangerously hot pepper and searching desperately for any liquid to cool his tongue with. And hell, he still didn't actually drink any of that beer because Marge distracted him and he didn't even get any in his mouth. Also, even though Marge was mad at him for that, that episode was actually about Homer thinking about leaving HER because he started to feel like she didn't understand him, so her proving herself to him at the end isn't as backwards as they said. Not to say Marge isn't an enabler, though, because wow is she an enabler.
+Kurt Reinkemeyer Also in the fishing one, he didn't go out fishing on purpose, he was out for a walk & when he tried to hand a fishing rod back to it's owner the catfish bit the line & pulled him out onto the lake in the boat. I guess he could have let go of the rod though.
Man I love this series. Total Daniel fangirl but still the content makes me giggle.
half way through I found myself distracted by what they were eating. was Michael eating a giant frosted donut?
it's the pink doughnut homer sold his soul for.
At 5:00 inaccuracy. Homer did not drink, it appeared to Marge that he did but it was the “InsaneOAsylum Pepper” that caused Homer to hallucinate and go on his Johnny Cash infused mystic journey.
Actually, in the Space Coyote episode, homer ate a hallucinogenic pepper at a chili eating contest.
Yeah, he specifically DID NOT drink anything at the Chili cook off.
Yes! And if I'm remembering it correctly, he never actually ingested alcohol. He was going to drink the beer to douse the burning I. His mouth but turned his face before the beer went in his mouth.
Not to mention, they totally missed the point of Homer's quest in that episode. Of course Marge has always been his soul mate, but he had to have that doubt cast on himself and rediscover _why_ she is his soul mate to better appreciate her.
+Katelyn Pringle AYY. I just said that above! Glad to know somebody else knows their stuff.
And you all missed the part where they mentioned that there was enough material in the show to contradict every point they had just made and then even contradict those contradictions.
I honestly believe you guys are better, more insightful and more intelligent pop culture commentators than just about anyone. You do a really good job of pointing out thought provoking elements while also being highly amusing. Also, you somehow manage to bring up issues pertaining to (gasp!) social justice without incurring the wrath of all those people who seem to think that suggesting the world isn't always an entirely fair place all the time is tantamount to calling for the death penalty for everyone who has testicles or relatively low melanin levels. Wow, that sentence kind of dragged on, sorry.
Anyway! Some of your points are more flippant than others, obviously, but that's cool, you don't want to start taking yourselves too seriously. Keep up the good work!
Marvin Monroe Is not dead, he comes back on the episode where Marge writes her book. And he tells that he just was very sick.
+pliskinn0089 Well they said they were only doing the first 8 seasons and episode 1 of season 9. He doesn't come back until season 15 so within the limits of their cut off he is dead.
In the coyote episode he didn't get drunk, he ate a magic pepper from the chili cook off.
You have to take into account that a lot of the writers of the show are graduates of college ranging from Bachelors to Masters (i think PhDs as well) of various backgrounds.
Amazing video. Had fun watching it. Older Simpsons are the best show ever. loved season 1 to 8th. No other show can compare.
Wait, did Soren say he had a kid? I didn't know that. Interesting.
*1)*: Episode from last night: Lisa saving a raccoon and says it was her first true kiss. Nelson is present and played for laughs as either an insignificant mistake in Lisa's past or secretly pining for her (which would make him on par with Milhouse).
*2)*: Bart learns Spanish during a flight to Brazil. This is impressive in itself, but when Lisa points out that in Brazil they speak Portuguese, he bashes his head and says "all gone". What kind of superpowers does he have to turn on and off his intellect? Almost like he can adjust it to allow only for relevant data to work at full capacity.
*3)*: The episode "Bart The Genius" sort of pissed me off. Bart switches the test with Martin and Bart gets send to a school for gifted children. Yet when it's revealed he's not a genius Martin is not only not sent instead to the same school, but he's kept in the same class as Bart. He doesn't even get to skip a class or something.
*4)*: Freud isn't considered bullshit by today's psychiatrists/psychologists. In fact some years ago I spoke to a psychology student regarding the curriculum and I've been told that Freud is the basis of modern psychology, while C.G. Jung is practically not taught at all. This was in Sweden, but I think the curriculum is similar throughout the Western World and if you want to become a Jungian psychoanalyst you have to go through a different program.
Homer wasn't actually Mr. Burns' assistant in season 2, he just got promoted and Monty took a liking to him
HOLD THE FUCK ON IS DAN WEARING A HAMILTON SHIRT? MY LORD
What's a Hamilton shirt?
bewmdogg a shirt referencing the broadway hit "Hamilton"
Rose MacQueen OMG I SAW IT AND I CAME TO THE COMMENTS SO I COULD FIND SOMEONE THAT NOTICED THAT TOO
Rose MacQueen HOLY SHIT HE IS! I HAVE THAT SHIRT
Rose MacQueen That was the first thing I noticed. All hail the Hamilton FANDOM!!!!!
I spent this whole video looking at that supersize Simpsons donut.
He's wearing a Hamilton shirt I am screaming
In the space coyote episode i recall Homer actually kept his promise not to drink, but after eating the hottest pepper in the world he needed a way to cool his mouth off and desperately grabbed beer mugs without thinking.
True, but it still looked like he broke his promise, and didn't really say or do anything to prove his innocence, yet Marge came back to him anyway, which does seem kind of enabling
+Trevor Weisberg Let's see: he got up, went to the chili cook-off, ate a bunch of Guatemalan insanity peppers...
Daniel Jones I'd like to argue he couldn't. His mouth was burnt and Marge immediately jumped to saying he broke his promise. I mean, not having water or milk at a *chili* contest seems weird to me, but I wouldn't blame Homer on that one.
Oh no, I'm back to the after hours vortex
06:55 I swear, those random arkward looks they throw in there are my favourite part of these.
Back at it! DAMN RIGHT CRACKED!!! YOU FOUR ARE GOING TO DO THIS FOREVER!! JUST FOR ME!!!
Dance puppets dance!
Except homer didn't get drunk in the episode with the lighthouse... He almost drank it because of the hot pepper, but no alcohol touched his tongue. He had a bad trip from the pepper. Bad example.
Homer through the catfish back to proove that marge is more important. it was late, but it was still the overall choice.
my eyes were riveted on that giant doughnut
prob. a bowl covered in frosting. . .
Thank you so much for not talking about The Simpsons past season nine. Huge respect. The world needs to forget and destroy the past 15 seasons.
Not trying to start a fight, was just wondering could you explain the differences in episodes after season 9? I never even knew there was a golden age or what defined the two. Tho to be fair I only ever watched the episodes on TV or the new episodes back when Foxtel first came out in 2000's so I've only really watched up to season 10 I reckon..
The audience laughing as Crusty has a heart attack is a reference to Tommy Cooper, who died on stage, and the crowd laughed for 2 minutes before the alarms were sounded. The children ward dedicated to things copied from tv would be a reference to the 1000s of injuries that occurred from kids copying the ninja turtles in the 80s.
You said you'd cut off at Principle and the Pauper, you lied you lied
You brought up Maude and Krabapple, they died they died
krabappel didn't die she's just not in it anymore
+dipperdandy did they really kill off krabapple?
Calvin Lee no in the video they said she died but the character never died. The actress who played her did so the creators said she will not be in it anymore...they didn't kill her she just kinda disappears
TH-cam 101 that makes sense. it would seem maybe a bit disrespectful to kill her character after the actress died. if not disrespectful, at least uncomfortable to watch, knowing the actress was actually dead.
Calvin Lee ya that's why they didn't kill her off
7:45 Obviously they haven't read "The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets" by Simon Singh
Lisa is literally the embodiment of Tumblr.
Could it be possible that EVERYONE in the show is just a figment of Homer's mind and that every episode is some new idea his brain gets to keep himself from realizing that he's all alone in the world?
The “mono” reference.
Monorail episode with an awards winning song. ❤️❤️❤️
Was Daniel's Hamilton shirt distracting anybody else during this?
+Beth Whitlow I WANT IT.
I must know what it says. I can't handle it.
MyGutSaysMaybe I think it says "just like my country, young, scrappy, & hungry - Alexander Hamilton"
Thanks. my OCD nearly aneuryzed. It was a close one.
When the simpsons where good, they where REALLY good. They where able to use every character to their full advantage. In later seasons the writers seem clueless about how to write Lisa and Marge.
+Willem Verheij And satire. And memorable (celebrity) guest characters. And interesting plot lines.
That the show is a sad shadow of its former self now. And if people don't agree, then they're wrong, simple as that.
+Sacha Daenens
1) While I do agree with you, not being open to any argument presenting a different viewpoint, is somewhat counter productive.
2) It was kind of inevitable. Either a) you keep writing the same plot lines, and stick to what you know, and the show eventually goes stale. or b) you keep trying something different, like new plot lines and how to use characters, and people complain about how different it is.
Eventually, with the show going on this long, it is inevitable that one of the two will happen.
The Gentleman Probably would have been best if they just stopped the show at a high point, its sadly something that many succesfull shows won't do. Most jump the shark at some point.
Daniel in that tight shirt though....... we need more shirtless Daniel
There's a blurry line between fan theories and just talking about what's already there.. so then it's not a theory it's just observations. This is a huge pet peeve of mine.
It's like those revenge stories that just involve someone filling out a complaint form when someone is unprofessional and then hearing back that a couple of other people also filled out complaint forms and the person was fired
It's not revenge in the slightest, just civic duty.
what a misleading title, hilariously paired with the misleading connotation of a misleading title because this is a lot more interesting than "4 Simpsons Fan Theories (That Might Be True)"
btw cool video
If you said Bleeding Gums Murphy and Dr. Marvin Monroe, you're wrong. They were never popular
he was totally eyeing that doughnut the whole time.
… and who could blame him? I would keep an eye on that monstrous, pink toothkiller as well if it would lie in front of me for 13 minutes straight without being allowed to eat from it.
SOREN HAS A KID?!?!? I knew he had a wife but A KID?!?!?
he doesnt actually drink in the space cyotie episode and marge still gets mad
+AmazingJoe96 In her defense everybody told her he was drunk. Including the priests wife, who is way to much of a gossipy bitch to possibly believe in God.
TheDark4light true but i dont know why they did because it seemed like everyone but marge saw him eat the pepper

But he's an alcoholic and acted weird some time after he had it. Plus its probably the wax as well. My bet is the chili killed any animal Chief Wiggum tried it on.... God I am irrationaly angry at the priests wife remembering her dialogue.... How can she be such a bitch and yet married to the priest?
