- The sketchiest, most deranged character from the Simpsons might just be Herman Hermann (what kind of name is that?). From his crazy crimes, to his crazy hobbies, today we'll take a look into this creep and find out what he's hiding. This is Dark Simpsons Mysteries!
So this was a very interesting video to make. I had an idea, I was convinced that the animators at some point mistakenly drew Herman with the wrong arm missing and I was going to find it. It took me a long while, but I found 2 instances of the wrong arm missing lol. I would have bet that there would've been more, but I'm glad I found the two. And then the video sort of built itself around that. I had lots of fun with this one.

Clearly Herman signed up for rock 'n' roll fantasy camp because he's a big fan of Def Leppard's one-armed drummer Rick Allen.
And clearly Homer climbed the tree with Herman holding Homer in a choke hold on the way up. Many other instances can be explained with a prosthetic arm.
Herman does seem like a drummer lol
As you can see, the real deal with Herman is that he's Mr. Burns' assistant. He's in his early forties, is unmarried, and currently resides in Springfield.
Are you insinuating he's gay? lol
@@soursimpsons Well, he and his buddy, Zed, were going to have a "party" with Snake and Wiggum.
Herman is Ned Flanders from an alternate universe. He has a moustache, the same voice, and only has a _left_ hand...
Buts that’s just a theory, A *GAME* *THEORY*
Haha, the most left handed person in town!
N🤏
Z
🤌
Zed was Ned the whole time! 😮
the more logical explanation to his arms: he has two prosthetic arms but always forgets to put one of them on
Haha, that raises more questions!
In the simpsons comic number 100 special, they actually revealed that Herman was overworked so much in making simpsons comics, that he wore his arm down to a nub.
I was expecting him to mention this because I get mixed up with things from the comics and misremember them as being on the show.
@@benwisey This implies he has two missing arms, and uses prosthetics.
it still points don't it?
Hahaha that's dark!
@@soursimpsons Wearing his arm down or the two missing arms?
When i first saw "22 short films", i thought the worst thing Herman was gonna do to Wiggum and Snake was beat the crap out of them, i didn't understand the implications of what was going on until many years later when i saw Pulp Fiction.
Yeah me neither haha, what a surprise that was
I have the perfect explanation on right handed Herman.
A wizard did it.
Sure, blame the wizards.
Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder!
the reason why herman can swap his missing arm is because he is so far gone that he doesnt care which arm is missing anymore
You forgot Herman's most serious crime:
"You call that Prime Rib?"
Lol, one of Herman's best moments
I've brought it up before, but why does Ned Flanders like The Beatles so much? And how did he get a new house built after it was destroyed by hurricane and then botched by the entire town?
Ned loves anything bigger than jesus 😂
1:43
Lol!, car hole. 😂
One of best Moe's quotes!.
Agreed lol!
Wait, so Herman is two identical twins living the same life... The Simpsons predicted The Prestige.
Haha it finally makes sense.
Maybe he lost his arm reaching into a vending machine.
Herman, were you just holding onto the can?
@@scockery
Your point being…?
Mmm... invisible cola!
Doesn't it grow back, if cut by a doctor, or is that just inaccurate writing?
The entire video is just “Boy I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.”
Hahaha, well said! So many wizards here
Herman is the sole survivor of a vicious cow attack. They would've gotten him too if they hadn't already filled up on everyone he cared about.
Oh no! Jimmy!
Idunno man, the penchant for musical theater does kinda fit in with the rest of the lunacy.
Haha in a way it does loo
I have a few mysteries regarding ages:
1. How did Apu's kids age when no one else seemingly did?
2. Waylon Smithers inconsistency with his age. In the episode "Bye, Bye, Nerdie" Homer tells Lisa he had a bully problem and it flashes back to when Homer was in high school and he was beating up Waylon Smithers so they must be around the same age which would be late 30s. Yet in "The Blunder Years" when The Simpsons and Chief Wiggum crawl up Mr Burns Corpse Hatch...er Innocence tube and show Burns the skull they have of Waylon Smithers Sr, he says he has been waiting for this day for 30 years. Assuming the film Mr Burns shows is set at that time, 30 years in the past, then Waylon Smithers jr cannot be around the same age as Homer due to him being a baby when Waylon Sr dies.
3. How old is Mr Burns really?
4. What is up with Ned Flanders age, Rod and Todd's age and when the Flanders and The Simpsons met? In one older flashback episode "Lisa's First Word", The Simpsons meet the Flanders when they first move into their house and Ned and Todd come over to greet them. In another they meet while Marge and Homer are dating and in the episode "Manger Things", Homer is at the birth of Todd and Todd is given the middle name Homer after Homer helps Maude give birth to him. How can that be if Todd was already born when he and Ned met the Simpsons in Lisa's First Word?
5. Did Mary Spuckler age? In the episode "Moonshine River" she looked slightly taller than Bart and maybe slightly older than she was when we first see her in "Apocalypse Cow"
I think everyone aged, but parents forget ages: thus Maggie is nearly four (so still technically a baby), which is why Apu's children are in preschool - Mary Spuckler just grew slightly. I don't think the film of Waylon was set at 30 years in the past, but 40. Mr. Burns being born in 1906 and also being a postwar kid can be explained by dementia, a la Wayne Gretsky's dad.
I think the Flanders were older students at the school and later met the Simpsons as adults.
I'm working on a Flanders age video!
Given that it’s implied 9 months passed before the octuplets were born, and Maggie didn’t age then. I’m pretty sure Maggie has had two birthdays where she turned one, so maybe she’s two?
@@joshslater2426 When Kang was revealed to her real father, it was her second birthday.
When Lisa went to Sprooklyn (sic), she said "Oh Maggie, don't ever turn two," which is a Peter Pan reference" "Two is the beginning of the end."
Thus, Maggie is no longer one.
Moe's, um... Snake handling? No not that kind of snake, the whacking kind!
Haha, that is his religion
What’s up with Herman?
… you know what I mean!
😉👍👍
They said in commentaries that his story for how he lost his arm would be a running gag but I guess they got tired of it and gave up.
Yeah, they do that if it doesn't get the reaction they want.. Eventually all gags lose their potency.
Something that just dawned on me. Professor Frink's "family". We've seen that he has a son, we've heard him mention his "wife" on several occasions. Yet we've seen him with dozens of other women.
Haha I'll add it to my notebook for a possible future mystery!
Here a mystery scoop, Does Maggie Simpsons has a pacifier problem??
I believe one poster r/TheSimpsons speculated she will be a punk with "an oral fixation" in elementary school: one episode shows she uses the pacifier since her family are shown to constantly argue... not seeing the fact she can talk, which also implies what a deleted post on TV Tropes theorized, that Lisa is NOT a genius at all - Maggie can also talk with Stewie.
Haha, what does marge put on that pacifier
No, the story where Herman lost his arm in a school bus accident might still bet true. Arms do grow back after all. Right?
That's also why his missing arms seemingly switched places at times. His right arm grew back, but then he lost his left arm in another unseen incident. It's like, Herman is destined to only have one arm at any given time.
The vending machine man was right! Lol
Wait, he has appeared in recent episodes? I thought he was just an early season character that faded out of existence.
Lol he's still around!
Lol 0:08 uncomfortable and then show his confederate flag 😂. 5:25 wrong missing arm reminds me of Ashlay's battle sprite in star ocean first departure r.
Dont trust a one armed man holding a gun.
I just want the mystery of who left mud in the freezer.
Who wants chocolate ice cream?
Me! ME!!
Next mystery video I would like to see if Eddie or Chief Wiggum is Ralph’s real father
I want Bill Dauterive to be Nelson's real father, Moe to be related to Randall Weims from "Recess," the twins to be related to Angela Pickles, Janey to be related to Leon Kompowsky, the Simpsons (a la the Tracey Ullman Show), and Sideshow Bob (in his first appearance), Mr. Strickland to be Hank and Bobby's real father, Cotton to be Dale's real father, and Hank Joseph's.
It's in the works!
Fabulous.
Please, the mystery of Edna Krabappel's death.(
Oh that's a sensitive subject. Since she died because her voice actress died in real life. Rip.
I didn't know they put the "Ralph looks like Eddie" thing in the show.
Yeah in the newer seasons, wasnt a very good episode
I guess you can say there's something wrong with "Herman's Head".
Crazy like a fox!
Milhouse knocking out Herman was so super funny.
Haha yeah, absolutely brilliant!
Yeah, but he didn't say he was a kid when a truck going the other way ripped his arm off. And you got to admit how adapt he is with that axe. The animators really went the extra mile in a background gag most of us would have missed.
That's what I thought.
Yeah i love how much the animators add in, my favorite is looking for animation errors in crowd screenshots
He supports the CSA good he supports the good side
There's a guy who looks like Ralph's dad sitting in front of Homer in the episode where he goes to parent teacher night
He'll be mentioned in the upcoming ralph video!
Just read the description. Man, if you needed screenshots of Herman erroneously depicted, you only had to ask! I collect rare Herman screenshots as a hobby. I got wrong arm Hermans, two-arm Herman’s, grey hairs and green pants! He’s one of my favorite characters, so this was a fun video to watch.
Haha no way! I searched forever for anomalies
I kinda like Herman, but I suppose not seeing too much of him means the mysteries surrounding him can keep growing.
I dread to think what he would’ve done to Wiggum and Snake in 22 short films, but I always thought that was the episode that ultimately killed any credibility behind his history.
Herman is a fun character but should be used sparingly. 👍👍
Your theories are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe your insanity!
I appreciate it!
And we still need more Dark Futurama 😂
Probably not, I'm focusing on this new channel now
We all know Blinky as the mutated fish near the nuclear power plant, however, what chemical reaction may have caused this mutation and with what original species?
He appears to be a goldfish: radiation can damage genes resulting in deformities, hence the three eyes.
I've already got a blinky video in the works, possibly for the next video!
Looks like your in for some “Fun” with Herman (at the end there)
Oh boy!
I like how when in situations that are either strange or dire, you're always smiling politely.
P.S. do you prefer frosty chocolate milkshakes, or Frogurt full of Potassium Benzoate?
😂 - Can't get enough Potassium Benzoate!
Herman must frequent Ned’s store a lot.
Haha, i should checkk to see if he was at the opening
I'll have to check and see if he was at the opening lol
Herman must have a great singing voice
Lol yeah, much better than Otto, who got cut
In the Season 6 episode, "The Springfield Connection," Snake plays Three-Card Monte with customer who bears a striking resemblance to him, whom he refers to as, "bro." Is this individual really Snake's brother? Are they in cahoots? Is he part of a secret government cloning project? Is his name "Liquid?"
Haha, i wish we saw him more often, he was great!
Looks like his arm keeps regenerating like Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z
Why would Herman fake a disability, or hide his true missing arm? I got the impression in "Bart the General," that he was an ex-Hitlerite war criminal but well-preserved (remember "Life in Hell" and it's adaptation "The Simpsons" is based on Matt Groening's childhood, Matt being born in 1958), a la America's Oldest Teenager, possibly brought over in Operation Paperclip.
Well the vending machine man did say it'd grow back
I don’t know if this would be a video idea , how about chief wiggums weight changing
Hmmm, I don't think there has been any drastic change, like the way homer gained weight to go on disability
Yes please
Nice video, but it doesn't cover as much as I hoped. Like, I heard there's voices in Herman's head and one even sounds like Lisa Simpson.
Hmm, when did he sound like lisa?
@@soursimpsons Only inside Herman's Head.
Another mystery.....
Does justice system have a grudge against the Simpsons?
The proof: Homer and Marge have committed small and/or unintentional crimes only to have the law strike them hard,swift,and unfairly.
Stay tuned for the list.
Haha if anything they've gotten off easy. How many times has homer broken the law and go free?
@soursimpsons I was talking about the earlier episodes,like when Marge shoplifted and when she and Homer were arrested for that old lady's murder(who was Carmen Electra's show) and sentenced to death in record time.
I immediately thought of the Siamese twins. Maybe those shots of opposite Herman were mirrored to make the action flow better
I like siamese twins lol
I'm rather concerned that Sour Simpsons avatar looks like Herman, possibly a cousin... Does that imply Sour Simpsons is a sketchy and shady character? 🤔🤔
Me sketchy? Never!
Please do a video on all the same voices being used on different characters. Example: blue-haired lawyer voice was also used for Freddy Quimbys lawyer
And Louie from the mafia.
I like the idea, i'll add it to my ideas notebook
The real mystery is why Herman sounds so much like George H W Bush?
haha, he does! I never realized
I got another one for you for a video idea, How about Why Moleman isn't dead, He gets blown up in a car explosion and is put on death row
Haha, the idea is already in my notebook but thanks!
@@soursimpsons Will i get a shoutout if you do it
Eddie being Ralphs dad, never thought of that! the haircuts do match
The writers ran out of ideas and stole one from memes instead😔
Ralph actually has a different dad in the early seasons. You can see him sitting in front of Homer when he attends the parent teacher meeting.
Stay tuned! His real father will shock you!
That’s illegal
" Strong arm next " 😂😂😂
More mysteries to come lol
Can you do a simpsons mystery regarding Milhouse's dog, as seen in the ending of "Lisa's date with density"?
Hmm, i dont think theres enough clips of it in the show
@soursimpsons exactly, and I wonder why?? Hmmm 🤔, anyway, I love the videos. Keep it up.
What happened to miss hoover blue hair color change dark simpsons mysteries
It's already in the brainstorming notebook for a possible future mystery!
Idea for an episode: Maggie's body count. How many people has this baby shot?
Lol, mr burns, and fat tony's crew, cant think of anyone else?
@@soursimpsons For some reason I thought there was more. Maybe instead how many people Mr Burns has killed?
Herman’s cool
Yeah, i like his one armed shotgun technique
@@soursimpsons anyone who can do that much with one arm is a badass for me.
You should make a simpsons mystery on Graggle Simpson and if he’s real or fake since I always see him in the backround of your videos
Of course he's real, there's no mystery there haha
@@soursimpsons ok
@@soursimpsons but why did they cut him out?
His Voice sounds different in The S35 Finale
But Big Question is Why Does Other Voice Actors sound Different sometimes...
Harry Shearer is 80 voices do age
I like that! I've added it to my notebook for a possible future video.
But if Herman sounds Different then why did u give Bart a Brain
I meant the other voice actors like Harry Shearer
Maude is seen in a non-flashback shot in S20E10
I just went through that episode and she was only in the flashback bits
@@soursimpsons She's in a crowd shot with ned
1:40 Gotcha.
While on the subject of Herman, there's been a Herman related mystery I've been trying to solve. on TH-cam there's a video called "Herman Hermann Plan A B C || The Simpsons" by CoolDude. At the 24 second mark in the video there's a 1 second clip of Herman in what I assume is a part of his store. I for the life of me can't find the episode source of said clip. I would have witnessed the clip at one point since I've seen every episode of the show, but this one just isn't something I recall. Perhaps you might know what episode that clip is from? I'd link the video but TH-cam would probably delete my comment.
Took a look, not sure where it came from. There's not alot to work with.
You should do a vid on Dolph Jimbo and Kearny’s ages
TheRealJims has done a video on Kearny's age, i highly recommend checking it out
@@soursimpsons cool
We’re gonna need a medical exper if we are going to solve this mystery. I propose we get Dr Richard Kimble. He’s sort of an elusive character but I have a feeling he be heading for Springfield some time soon. 😉
Haha, we can only afford Dr. Nick's expert witness
@@soursimpsons Trust me if it we got Dr Nick then Tommy Lee Jones would have fished him out of the river by now.
I've noticed that the confederate flag (in actuality, the second Confederate Navy Jack flag) in his military shop has more than 13 stars, eh.
The Confederacy did claim 15 states/territories, such as Nevada and southern California (Alta Colorado).
Haha that goes way beyond my knowledge
@@soursimpsons If you need any information on anything to create theories or create evidence, just ask me. Also, did you read my apology for my previous rant on "Changes are Coming to Dark Simpsons," and read my questions on "Angry Dad Presents: Bart the Nerd?" I'm ready to relay detailed versions of fan theories I have for "The Simpsons"/KOTH.
I consider less the newer seasons
And more likelyhood of alt timelines
Theres another mystery
Also the guy at 6:25 looks relative to Herman lol
That makes sense lol
Omg
Good morning
Hello!
Ze Herman is mysterious fella
😂😂
can i ask how you animated your character?
So I drew him in all the different poses, and then I drew 13 different lip movements for each pose. And then I just synced the lip movements to what I want to say.
heyy, is that the same outro used in dark simpsons's videos?
Yup, it's me! Dark Simpsons
1:37 What the hell is that thing behind Lisa?
Thats the loveable graggle. He's a fan favorite.
Maybe Zed was the twin brother? And who's Ralph's dad would make for good vid its either really Eddie or Homer or he's Adopted
Ralphs real father is already in the works!
lol
How about Nelson's real father is Barney?
Haha I'll have to find some good evidence for it outside of the looks
Duh 🙄
He’s clearly related to Lenny somehow
Haha, i dont see the resemblence
Wasent also kinda based on Charles bronson?
Hmm, i'm not sure about that one
Eww
Can u make a video of the history of moe or Liza or Homer
Possibly in the future!
Is Herman ned's brother?
What makes you say that?
@@soursimpsons mostly the voice actor and the looks
