Bart didn't actually say that. Homer was imagining Bart as an anchor telling him percentage of something else besides growing his own son's out of The Monorail. One of the many reasons why old Homer is better than the new 1. This version of Homer is dumb enough to imagine his son as an anchor, but smart enough to realise that wasn't a good idea at the last minute.
It's quite impressive that Leonard Nimoy was able to snatch and pull Krusty back into the train with one hand while the train is speeding through the air like a bullet. Must be his vulcan strength.
I don't know why, but seeing Homer save everybody is always a heartwarming moment for me. It's one of the few moments where he's truly heroic in the series.
Even if the rope and donut were strong enough, Everyone would die from the force from decelerating a monorail from full speed to rest in about a second.
@@SuperTed19021 Hes also in a Season 8 episode, where they had a crossover with The X Files and somewhat parodied it. Kinda glad he only got a few uses since it makes seeing him special, maybe one more in between 4 and 8 would have been nice, maybe in Bart's Comet.
It wasn't written exclusively by him. The show was always penned by multiple writers, as much as sixteen per episode. The writing quality of The Simpsons in that era wasn't possible for one person.
Fact of interest-Before considering Leonard Nimoy to do this episode, the producers were going to consider George Takei the guest star for "Marge Vs. the Monorail", but Takei,who was on the board of directors for the Southern California Rapid Transit District, simply passed on doing a satire on public transportation.
"KRUSTY WANTS OUT!" He's actually lucky that Leonard Nimoy pulled him back in. Given how fast the monorail was going, the impact with the ground would have killed him instantly.
Keanu Dave Well, it's very difficult for them too nowadays, because it's been airing so long, they run out of ideas over the years. It doesn't help that the characters don't age and change only occurs in one episode at a time.
Keanu Dave They really are out of ideas. I still watch it for the characters though. They're much more developed and the art style has gotten better since the original. The humor in the original was better though, I'll admit that.
@@fenrirsrage4609 Some of his psychotic acts can be SEMI-excused by the fact that he very clearly has ADHD, and could be counted as being purely impulsive, but a whole bunch of the stuff he does is just outright evil. He's not a good person, as much as the show loves to glorify his good moments.
@@Neondarkness72 Bart can definitely act like a malicious brat, but calling him a psycho is going a little overboard, at least the Bart from the 90's. There's nothing wrong with the show demonstrating that Bart has a heart of gold and can show it when he wants, he may be a spoiled brat at times, he still has quite a few admirable qualities about him. Don't forget Bart is a kid too, plus he doesn't exactly have the best of role models in his life (Homer, while he may love his kids, is hardly the ideal parent).
@@BethHarmon-yh8ms "At least the Bart from the 90's" is an important factor here. I'm not restricting myself to that. In the newer episodes, he is just outright evil much of the time. There's literally an episode where he sees skinner being prepped for dental work, already on the laughing gas and woozy, and Bart shoves a giant plastic tooth into his mouth, kicks it several times, shoves the little water hose in there as well and turns it on, and then places an x-ray machine directly in front of his crotch and tells him not to move for 20 minutes. He's literally, knowingly, attempting to give another human being cancer. There is no justification for that sort of behavior. There's probably moments in the early seasons where he also does evil things, but that just sticks out in my mind as a prime example.
@@Neondarkness72 There's a reason I don't watch the newer episodes....the writers have turned the characters from lovable losers with flaws like everyone else to selfish, irredeemable pricks. Bart was always a brat but he did have his good, sweet moments. Then they turned him into the cartoon version of the MacCaulkey Culkin character in The Good Son (though he doesn't kill a dog, though he might get there eventually one day). Lisa was always the intellectual, sensitive one, but now she's shrill, demanding, picks a fight with anyone who didn't agree with her views. While it's true she could be a bit overbearing with some of her beliefs (when she became a vegetarian for example), she at least knew that her methods of making a point could cross a line and she admitted when she was wrong. Not so much anymore nowadays. Homer was always a selfish, idiotic dolt, but he at least still loved his family and still had a bit of heart to him, and tried to do the right thing, even if it wasn't.. Now he's more like Peter Griffin, picking on his kids (usually Bart), and just outright mean. Even the other characters have changed for the worse (Ned has become more of a religious zealous rather than the good-natured Christian neighbor he started out as for example). I hate that Apu was sacrificed in the name of political correctness, but on the other hand he probably would have been ruined along with everyone else. Marge and Maggie maybe the only ones who have stayed the same but that's not enough to justify the show staying on the air. As far as I'm concerned the Simpsons ended after season 10. I won't watch the newer ones anymore after seeing how the show has gone so tragically downhill.
Bart: Think harder Homer Also Bart: DAD YOU'RE A HERO Over 25 years that I have been watching this particular episode, and I just realized that there is a bit of a meta-joke in here. Setting aside that Nimoy actually manages to pull Krusty back into the train as the monorail is pretty much at full speed, Homer makes the comment about how Batman is a scientist. And wow Batman may have scientific Acumen he is not known as a scientist character per se( unlike say modern interpretations of Barry Allen). However the character that Nimoy is most closely associated with IS a scientist, which brings us to Barney's comment about "you didn't do nothing". I know we probably shouldn't read too much into this because it is a cartoon but wouldn't it be funny if Nimoy was actually playing Spock in human disguise 🤔
the way Homer picks up the radio transceiver with that casual "yyyello?" in the given context is so fucking funny. such a great joke packed into such a short moment
The best joke no one seems to get is we are told it runs on Solar power and its sunset by the time the anchor stops it so it would of stopped soon anyway or could be why it stopped.

@@matt13r1 ...That's the joke.
🤣🤪
For some reason i really hear: "Think harder boomer"
In germany this scene is" Lass dir was anderes einfallen, Homer" the german version Sounds very funny
Always loved how Bart IMMEDIATELY knew Homer wanted to use him as an anchor.

Krusty was still in the vortex created by the train, not yet in the air. Still needed that Vulcan strength of course.
That's what he did this episode. He saved Krusty's life.
And Barney said he didn’t do anything!

When Mr Nimoy passed he was survived by by his children, grand children and great grand children. Truly he lived long and prospered. Rest In Peace.
I don't know why, but seeing Homer save everybody is always a heartwarming moment for me. It's one of the few moments where he's truly heroic in the series.
In an alternate universe he used Bart as an anchor and this scene was much less heartwarming.
Gerald Weir beautiful
HR Homer doesn’t agree.
He even seperates siamese twins in the process.
What about The Simpsons movie?
Respect to Homer for tying such a good knot under time pressure!
He learned to do it in the Navy
"think harder Homer..."
Lol! Simpsons is my favorite show!
Just no faith in his own father. And rightfully so.
Chigozie Nwachukwu Same here, Bro.
Starry G Dude, he just told him to think harder.
OMFG -_-
Well he wanted to use Bart as an anchor.
I like how the anchor doesn't break through Dr. Hibbert's office. It just... floats in and out.
Batman's a scientist.
+Constant Chinner Detectives aren't scientists. >.
+TheWise One Detectives don't have to be scientists to be detectives, but that doesn't mean they can't be a scientist as well.

he has 12 masters degrees I would say that equals a scientist
That escalator to nowhere is fucking scary.
Jurgen123445 They redeemed themselves in Simpsons Road Rage
The scary thing is people still riding it.
@@thiagodeandrade7081 that's just the typical idiocy of the people of Springfield 😅
@@Jurgen123445 Yep.
I mean, you gotta know what you're getting into when you get on it. That's why they look so worried.
Scared they might survive to regret it.
“Are we gonna die, son?”
“Yeah. But at least we’ll take a lot of innocent people with us.”
Throwing out the "anchor", they were on to something!
"Dad you're a hero".
"Yes son I'm the best Mono Thingy Guy there ever was".
Leonard Nimoy: * saves Krusty from committing suicide *
Barney: "What do you mean your work is done?! You didn't do anything!"
Bruh.
He also only says it once he sees Krusty get off safely
I found it touching that he saw Krusty as funny.
Didn't I?
Barney, where have you been? He saved Krusty from committing suicide on the monorail.
Nowaday preventing someone from comitting suicide should be considered torture.
Are we gonna die son? Yes, but at least we'll take a lot of innocent people with us.
This I was looking for.
So dark lol
Bart knew exactly what Homer was thinking and just took it in stride.
Also, that was super impressive knot tying.
That's a strong rope
That’s a strong donut
Thinking same thing
In the end, plot glue is strong enough to hold them all together!
Even if the rope and donut were strong enough, Everyone would die from the force from decelerating a monorail from full speed to rest in about a second.
@@prestonschwann2414 They survived because of Leonard Nimoy's intervention, obviously.
If only they had listened to Mr Snrub, I liked the way he thought
They should've listened to Marge because she was right to have suspected Lanley and wanted Main Street fixed.

Leonard Nimoy was one of the best cameos of the series
How they should have kept doing it.

He was an early fan of the series, same with Danny DeVito.
Also loved his cameos in Futurama.
Too bad he won't make any in Disenchantment.

"Homer there's a man here who can help you"
"Batman?"
"No, he's a scientist"
"Batman's a scientist?"
"It's not Batman!" brilliant writing, so funny
I think the third line should be "Batman is a scientist!"

gone to soon .
He was beamed back to the starship Enterprize by Scotty.
Two years already?? 😭😭😭
His work here was done
Decades later I still remember that escalator to nowhere bit. Classic.
Same here it’s a little haunting tbh
Wait a minute...a runaway monorail...the mention of Batman...
This episode predicted "Batman Begins"!

Wow that's really lame
it's not even a satire of public transportation. it's about a town falling for a con artist
Monorails are one of the more gimmicky public transports. More effective to have a regular train
@@gloverelaxis It's both satire and a con artist.
I love how there is a major city crisis unfolding yet the police are still outside a donut shop eating donuts, wasting time. 1:30
Homer's knot-tying skills don't get talked about enough.
Not all heros wear capes. But sometimes they do.
Also homer kinda looking like Batman now that I think about it. Who's also a scientist.
"KRUSTY WANTS OUT!"
He's actually lucky that Leonard Nimoy pulled him back in. Given how fast the monorail was going, the impact with the ground would have killed him instantly.
Not necessarily.
His horizontal velocity at start of the fall has little to no effect on his vertical velocity on the impact... assuming he hits a horizontal surface.
@@lordskeletorde True, but he's still making a jump of about fifty feet onto solid concrete streets. At the very least he would have broken both legs.
That's kinda the point of that scene
Technically, Nimoy DID save Krusty's life...
That is what he meant
What do you mean by "technically"?
Arrr. You call that an anchor?
My favorite Simpsons episode. It’s insane how much story is packed into just 22 minutes.
The dialogue between Marge and Homer, about Batman's skills, it cracks me up everytime🤣🤣
Interesting fact those were animators going over the escalator in this order, Rich Moore Wes Archer and David Silverman
One of the best episodes of anything ever.
Best Simpsons quote ever in this episode: "donuts, is there anything they can't do?"
I've been quoting that saying for days up until now, considering today is National Donut Day.
Spock saved Krusty's life though so he did do something I guess lmao
I always loved that cowboy sliding riff!
Even memorable in my childhood!
Been years seeing this and it's weird that their best episodes rarely appeared.

Thanks to the power of donuts!
Somehow, the donut was built stronger compared to all the roads, and sidewalks the anchor went through
Leonard Nimoy was the best part of this episode. May he Rest In Peace.
great scene from back when the Simpsons was a cultural phenomenon
I like how the people on tbe escalator are oblivious to the people in front of them falling down.
"Escalator to nowhere" kinda sums the episode up. Springfield tried to go up in the world without any real destination in mind.
Probably the best scene in the whole series.
Escalator to nowhere is my favorite led Zeppelin song
For someone’s that’s supposed to be a dope, he does pull off genius from time to time
How does Bob Marley love his doughnuts? With jammin lol
The best Simpsons episode, in my opinion. Glad I was alive when it came out. And glad my son can enjoy it with me now.
