Love these videos.
Can you do The Life of Scrouge McDuck don't know if you do these ones but i think you will do it justice.
What’s your least favourite character in the show
Hi
Has anybody else realized Homer's mother's name is Mona and his daughter's name is Lisa ? Like the Leonardo da Vinci portrait painting 'The Mona Lisa' .
@@iwannahavearockstar2994 Never noticed that before haha
It's so sad when Homer says "You left a hole in my heart that could never be filled. So, I filled it with food, but I'm never full". No wonder he's messed up, but he's done very well for himself.
Yeah once you say the quote it makes me sad 😞 (I don’t wacth the Simpson)
In the words of frank grimes. "You live in a mansion, have an amazing family and have been to space."
@Tailsguy2008 I was paraphrasing Frank Grimes.
@Tailsguy2008 Ya but it was a mansion to him because he had a very small house.
Makes me more sad a out how Abe is treated, he is not perfect but he tried his best by himself
My favorite bit with Mona was when she denied Homer more sugar for his cereal and responded by basically saying he was already sweet enough as is.
The fuck you doin hear💀
That's actually a smart idea
Abe wasn't the best dad but he stayed and took care of Homer. I understand that Mona tried to be a good person but underneath it all she wasn't. She willingly sacrificed her son and by extension her family for something stupid. Abe gave Homer everything he had, if it wasn't for him Homer would've never got his first home and had the foundation needed to raise his kids. Even went above and beyond for his grandkids and Marge every chance he got. Even in death she used her son for a final hippie protest. Abe deserves a lot more credit.
Both attempted to be good pearents when they clearly were not ready. And both did fail, but they tried it’s more a sad case of things simply did not work. Abe took too long to care about his Son beofre Monas paicence ran out. If he’d gotten more I treated sooner then Mona would likely of not felt she had to fill a hole in her life. Maybe
@@historytank5673no Abe tried Mona didn’t
She could have left Abe but her leaving Homer was just because she was like Lisa someone who prefer to do big symbolique things over being a good person
The same Abe who also tells his son he's homely as a mules butt, makes sure he doesn't stick the landing at a gymnastics performance, and told him he was an accident? All three are things that happened after Mona left.
@@eldenlion5850 But Abe actually raised Homer, while Mona abandoned her family to become a terrorist.
Thank you Glenn Close for voicing Mona Simpson. The pies episode and the one where Mona is Death in Homers dreams are my two recent favorites. But all of the Mona episodes are good ones for me.
All I've learned from this is that Marge is a real one. She deserves her flowers.
If you loss your mom, this emotional mother & son story arc of Mona Simpson & Homer Simpson will have you crying as Homer Simpson tries to keep his mom around in his life despite the unfortunate inconvenience.
The moment a fictional character becomes relatable, to the point where you want to hug said fictional character.
To be honest, there's still a lot about Mona Simpson I truly don't like. Getting wooed by sideburns shouldn't be the inspiration to leave the family, but she did do great good while keeping Homer safe in her own way. It's weird! Personally, I blame the writers. It was clear they wanted to make her more sympathetic in later seasons; yet, by showing she was constantly arguing with Abe, cheating on him ( apparently before the 2 hippies) and used Homer to have her ashes stop another scheme....it kinda puts a bad taste in my mouth. Abe, by no means is a saint, but he did genuinely love Homer by trying to shield him from his mother being a wanted criminal...not to mention giving up his 2nd marriage and even selling his house for Homers Family. Sad Mona never got to know that.
I thought the same. To me she didn't care about Homer or Abe. Abe made sacrifices for his children and even hid Herb from Homer because of her. She should have tried to be in Homer's life and choose not to. She was a bad person and at least she didn't have many episodes
@@Militarize 100% Agree! Plus, I've noticed anytime they've tried to make a new episode with Mona, they try to Retcon some of her past behavior which makes its even more confusing at times!
It was a race to the finish line and your mother had her foot out the door. Mona was a big hypocrite, she didn't want to hurt people but didn't really try very hard to protect them either. She left Homer behind with Abe thinking she would only be a burden but she could have took him with her. Why stop to help mister burns when he fell. She didn't want death to be on her for her hippie agenda. Abe is no Saint but Abe had a trouble past. War heros usually do, they don't show love because they seen hell on earth. He may have been mean but it was his own way to show how hard the world is. As opposed to Mona that could only show her a bit of love as a mom but still cared more about herself. She cared about the world instead of her child. It was selfish, she wanted her cake and eat it too. She slept around in the name of making a better world. And even after death she still needed to use Homer for a hippie thing. Mona is terrible, disguise as innocent lady only trying to do good but pointing it out about her only shows the men around her being petty.
Pretty sure Mona committed suicide for her ashes to be used in such a manner. How else did she have it all perfectly timed?
@@Alisha120058 I wouldn't put it past her at this point. Its the only theory that makes perfect sense!
Not gonna lie, I legit cried when Homer found Mona by the fireplace
Me too 😢
I gently weep as I type this.
In a way I’m like Abe Simpson, a single dad raising a daughter. Only differences is that I have a daughter, and Mona was running from the law.. My ex left because she cheated on me and got pregnant as an outcome, & our baby wasn’t even 1 years old. I am beyond grateful to have my baby girl with me because many dads don’t get the opportunity🥲🥹
You got it dude 👍 she'll be glad to have a dad like you
Err, ok?
your a lucky man
All good luck with that that's so heartbreaking I thought you were wonderful papa
Don't let your ex back in, it'll make things more complicated. Trust me, mine walked when our son was 5 and she's been a on-again off-again mother to him. Too many problems came from that.
0:05 gets me almost every time
This was always such a sad arc in the show because each episode she was in always depicted that homer never had enough time with his mother. Glenn close was always great in the voice role and they were always emotional episodes
Maybe I’m giving Homer too much credit here but I wonder if he indirectly named Lisa after Mona? Just put the two names together and you get: Mona Lisa
Something that makes Mona leaves a more emotional is that it was the mothers day episode for that year
There is a line in the episode where Homer wonders if that last visit was a dream or not. Maybe it was to explain the descripency.
Mona isn't a terrible person and neither is Abe.
But they've both made quite a bit of bad decisions. I like how the writers showed that people can be extremely flawed without being actual bad people.
Moana Simpsons timeline is probably the most logical out of every countdown Simpsons timeline thank you for making the timeline
❤️ for the username
Glenn Close is probably one of the best guest actors they've had on this show (though Meryl Streep runs it close with her unrecognisable turn as Jessica Lovejoy).
Agreed!
Dustin Hoffman was also great as lisa's substitute teacher and an underrated one is James wood he was hilarious when he guest starred as himself
I think that it's kinda sad and happy that Homer would do anything to keep his mother around and alive. 😢
Mona Simpson was voiced by the fantastic Actress Glen Close! Glen Close played Cruella too!
And Kala from Tarzan
@@the-nina-beans88 oh nice!
Also Alex Forrest from ‘Fatal Attraction’
Abraham wasn´t the best man ever, but that doesn´t changed that she used her familly for her own benefit and didn´t cared about the damage she inflicted in her son, because so far I see that all of Homer defects are from her mother absence or manipulation
I don’t see her using her family besides her using Homer to spread her ashes to stop nuclear waste going to the Amazon forest. Her problem was ,when it comes to Abe, that she doesn’t want to be a wife (and especially a housewife), and while I think she cared about Homer, she’s too obsessed with her identity (which is being a radical hippie) to truly consider him.
As for Homer’s defects, the only things that affected Homer from her negligence and absence is that he developed an eating disorder (which he refused to fix) and his insecurities. According to show, the rest of his defects stem from his pea size brain, his unusual brain and fluid makeup, the Simpson’s gene, and that crayon that he inserted into his brain.
But if you look beyond the inconsistent show, his true cause of his defects is his extreme flanderization. Back in season 1, he wasn’t food obsessed, lazy, abusive, idiot we see today. He had balance, limits, and was more family oriented than Marge.
Great video as always. The town of Springfield is being fleshed out and recorded by the best in the game
I feel like Homer should have found something that clubbed him into his mother always being there, even if he didn't know. Like in Bart's birthday, she should have been a nurse or doctor in disguise. Showing that even when Homer didn't know it , his mother was still there for him
I liked Mothers and Other Strangers. I think part of the reason I liked it was I haven’t watched the older Simpsons episodes in over a decade and could not remember the original storyline.
Something you should have mentioned is that she had a brother called Sylvester Olson.
I hope in the future we see more of Mona's family
If only she met her half son Herb
Damn this hit hard so hard I got tears
Great video Lydia! Mona was genuinely a sweet underrated character but it is clear that when she left, Marge gave him the loving and motherly bond he needed. I think that's why their marriage was strong (some of the time). But still, who doesn't love Mona? She's truly one of a kind 🙂
How about a timeline on Edna Krabappel Barts school teacher. 🤗🙏👍📺
Loved this!
this is making my birthday better and better
@Ben Stone Studios thanks
Great chatting with you on Live, and happy birthday
I never understood why mona went on the run for basically 90% of homers life. She said in one scene it was to protect Homer because she was wanted. But that meant that Homer never got to see her again till he was 39/40 yrs old. Whereas if she had just stayed and done her time she probably would have only gotten like, what 10yrs at most or something. So surely that should have made more sense for her to do.
(I know it’s a cartoon but still)
I’ve been watching the Simpsons my entire life, I’m praying they never stop lol also me an homer have the same birthday an it first aired when I was 2 so I feel like I was always meant to love the Simpsons as much as I do haha 😆
Hey Kerry, I always thought that too. I feel like she could have reached out to him much earlier in life. The FBI wasnt watching Homer 24/7. But a very interesting character
Jesus, Mona is like a combination of my parents.
My mom was always so kind and looking out for me, while my dad might’ve been good in areas, he had issues and would leave me and my family and wouldn’t return until years later until leaving for good.
I had a lot of hatred towards my father and never wanted to see him again because he caused a lot of personal problems towards my family, and my anger was pretty much at its breaking point…. that’s until I lost my father from the virus and all the hate I had simply left out of my body. Then a year later (last year), my mom died from the virus as well.
I won’t lie that it’s been hard trying to keep it together because I’m always scared at night and I cry from time to time, my mom’s death really hurt me a lot and it’s a tiny bit difficult to keep a happy face. I miss them both, but I miss my mom more.
Deepest condolences man.. 😢
The Simpsons Timeline is all sorts of messed up. I worked like in the 90’s, but today nothing makes sense anymore. Abraham Simpson would be over 100 years old and Homer would be well over 60. Bart, Lisa and Maggie were kids for the last 30+ years. Homer was literally born in the (baby) boomer generation. I think they should do a full-fledged, canonical spin-off series where B, L & M are adults have children of their own
The timeline is a bit of a headache, yes. Looking at the ages and counting from today, Bart would be born in 2012 and Homer and Marge would be 80s kids. Which means Abe would have to have been in - Vietnam, I guess? But definitely not WW2.
It might have been better if they made the characters age from the beginning. By now, Homer's and Marge's grandkids would probably be our protagonists! Or they should've given the characters backstories that didn't tie them to specific historical periods like the Hippie era.
I feel bad for Mona, but let's be honest, she WAS a pretty lousy mother. Abe was no better, don't get me wrong, but his behavior could have been due to untreated PTSD from WWII which would explain his treatment towards Homer. And at least he tried to be a better parent to Homer. What's Mona's excuse for neglecting her son?! Hippie-dippy BS?! I know she's a loving mother overall, but she could have done things a LOT differently than becoming a stupid radical, which would also lead to her then becoming a wanted fugitive! I've asked it before and I'll ask it again whenever hippies are around: WHERE'S CARTMAN WHEN YA NEED HIM?!
Wow a very great Timeline Video the Simpsons Theory
Like mother, like son. “D’oh!” 😂😂😂
Aggy lol
You are my favorite TH-camr!
Great video as always Lydia
I'm happy to watch anything the simpsons but this channel is awesome. Plus I know this one is going to make me sad.
When you connect it, it kind of makes sense why Homer is the way he is as a father an imperfect husband. from his own divided parents as a kid. Yet he seems to show more so than his dad that he does care for his kids and loves Marge. Even though they fight, their marriage is ccomparatively better.
I'm not crying! YOU are cutting onions!
Sorry dude
@@blueraccoon1088 its ok 🥲
Great job on the timeline Lydia! You captured to good and bad with Mona, and covered so much material! Its truly a fantastic coverage from our fave Simpsons-Tuber( though you cover more)!
I do wish Homer shared with Mona that he's screwing up the power plant from within' to make her proud.
I'm sure if she heard that Homer just sleeps on the job and does a terrible joke, I don't think she would have minded much haha
I like yourSimpsons timeline videos, and I also like your Simpsons animation of yourself. You are awesome.
Something I don't like about the simpsons and one of my reasons why I left the series is that they always romanticize, change and rewrite things all the time at least this doesn't happen in futuroma, family guy, american dad and PRIMAL. Regarding Mona always It seemed very strange to me that knowing what her husband was like, he never took his son away to start over, to be able to live in peace and not continue getting into trouble, I say it would have been easier instead of abandoning his son and thus continue with the protests but without causing problems
I think that scattering her ashes....again is sweet. I want my Ashes to be scattered in the ocean. Because I love the sea.
17:25 I think that if an episode retcons long-standing Simpsons cannon, it itself should be considered non-canonical
Mona Simpson could have her own spin-off, during her time on the run from the law.
13:46 the moment real men cry. I still have mine but my old man lost his I would show any Mona video to him some day
I think Mona is a life because it seemed to perfect that everything just clicked into place.
Great job! I too hated the "Mothers and Other Strangers" retcon of Mona's established backstory (and Al Jean of all people wrote that episode). Ever since she left when Homer was 12, he always believed Abe's lie that she was dead. That's the reason why he struggled so much to forgive her.
Love the seane at the beginning "yall always be apart of me Homer "*DO'H!*"
I loveeeee the Simpsons an I love this channel. I just wish that Lydia either was able to do longer videos or more videos a week as I just can’t get enough of her videos an I’m always gutted as soon as I’ve watch her latest video as I have to wait to watch another one. As I’ve watched all her previous videos so I have nothing to binge watch till her next upload lol.
😊
And 83% discount is really amazing honestly I'm strongly considering it.
17:22 i feel like this episode is what homer wanted to happen instead of what really happened. And I also feel like it's a noncanon episode
I should mention that Homer said he didn't know if it was a dream or not.
I think it’s best to consider “new” retconned canon to be essentially non-canon. I mean, every time a superhero franchise reboots we get a new and slightly modified origin story, and while the Simpsons hasn’t actually rebooted, after 30 years some stories just have to be retold. Shit, I’m 29 so old canon is still canon to me, but I don’t expect a 15 year old now to know 90’s episodes of The Simpsons.
I am wondering if the line of Homer wondering if it was a dream or not was made to try and tie it together.
Now I’ve just saw the Mona episode in serious 33 it makes it more sad 😢
I were just doing a marathon of your vids 😅🙏🏻
Haha hope you're enjoying the videos!
@@TheSimpsonsTheory yessss your videos are the best
can you do groundskeeper willie timeline next
th-cam.com/video/qUN5J3VW0XQ/w-d-xo.html
Here it is
Cool video please do a timeline of Waylon Smithers
I’m subscribed with notifications on
Same here
Awesome! Thanks Barrett
Homer didn't know it but he gave his mom a hidden gift. When he made the family recreate key moments since she wasn't there. Meaning when she passed she had memories of those events.
Lydia if you ain't done it yet could you do a Sarah wiggum timeline
Such a shame homer didn’t have siblings growing up. He deserved them I think!
He has a half brother named herb
@@Kikyolover9 oh yeah played by Danny Devito!
And a half sister named Abbie.
This is so exciting to see!
Your video was so good and amazing. Is it just me or does it seem like more than half your videos are sponsored by a VPN in like is there a reason that is.
I feel bad for Mona
She never got the chance to be with Homer and her family 100% because of Mr. Burns
I love your videos so much you brought my love for the Simpsons back
Watching from Manchester I love your channel
Love Manchester!
Omg
Omg I have been subbed to you for a year
Thank you so much for making your videos it makes my day when they come out
Thank you so much for making your videos it makes my day when they come out
Aaww, imagine if Mona couldve contacted homer thru the internet (with the VPN of course). while it would make for a boring episode (probably), it would've been something, it would've been sweet
I mean Mona became a wanted fugitive pretty much because of her own actions.
Let’s put them in a thief position, I am a house owner as Burns and some day a group of thief get into my house destroyed all my stuff and beat me up, but one of the thief stayed to nurse me back to health I will still call the police on her, because she joined a thief and destroyed all my stuff.
Mona Simpson/Homer's Mom is so nice.
He loves her so much, but it's so sad that died.
I love her, too
MONA IS ANGEL IN HEAVEN NOW!😇
Your the best thank you so much for making these videos
I haven't always been a big fan of the Simpsons, but I always seem to enjoy two types of episodes: 1. Every Treehouse of Horror, and 2. Any episode that features Mona. She may not have been the best mother, but she loved Homer more than life itself. As someone whose mom's love is similar, seeing Mona around her son gives me a warm and nostalgic feel.
what i came here to see if there were more mona episodes only to find me having a tear in my eye....i didn't want her character to die
Other than Marge, mona simpson was one of the best mom's in the simpsons series
rip homers mom :(
Bad news is Dan Castalanata's mom passed in mona leaves a.
do you ever think the Simpsons would benefit from a reboot? just start off a new season with the explicit purpose of starting a new canon and the let the older seasons remain as they are and let it be?
After 33 seasons, it would certainly be an option.
The show needs to end.
Do The Complete Dr Nock Timeline next
This is gonna be a weird request, but could we get a timeline video on Dr. Hibbert? He's such a fun doctor based on the Cosby trope!
Hey Lowell! I'll add Dr Hibbert to the list. I'll make a poll soon and make him one of the options :)
@@TheSimpsonsTheory Hi Lydia, could you add Waylon Smithers to that poll? He’s one of my most favourite characters on the show (& was also often heavily featured in a lot of great comic stories) and I’d love to see you do a timeline for him! And keep the amazing work up, you and TheRealJims are my absolut favourite Simpsons-related TH-camrs and it’s always a great joy whenever you upload a new video =)
Great video 😎
Her saying Doh never fails to make me laugh 😂😂
It isn’t possible to believe that due to all of homers head injury’s and Abe’s dementia that they could have completely forgot the trip to Utah by the time Mona came back.
I am not sure. Though Homer did say he wondered if the hospital visit was a dream or not.
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot
I love your videos there great 😊 your really good at the timelines 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😁
Wow. Both Abe and Mona made their mistakes while together and when they were raising Homer. I didn't realize how much arguing they did with one another and how both neglected him or at least didn't spend much time with him.
Also the clips with Mona and Homer reminded me that they had some wonderful moments together. I really wish Homer and Mona had more time together 😢
I love your videos
19:00 My theory for the retcon is that Homer and Abe forgot about that trip (largely due to the former's alcoholism and tendancy to experience severe head injuries and the latter's senility), and at some point after Mona's real death, he recalled such a trip (possibly through a trigger). Remember, that he (again due to his alcholism and head injuries) forgot that he briefly had a lounge singer (named Rita Lafleur) for a step-mother. And as for the time Mona visited Homer for Bart's birth, Homer most likely thought that was a dream, until he find out that she was alive the entire time. This is just a theory of course.
The episode where Mona wanted Homer to spread her ashes could arguably have been the best Simpsons episode. Imagine if there were no jokes, just Homer sitting on the cliff, spending perhaps ten minutes talking about all the things he wished they could have done together growing up. He could reflect on how it was nice having his mom back in his life, even if only for a little while. The episode could end with him spreading her ashes and simply saying, "I love you, Mom."
Im here for it! 😀
As a single father, I have 0 love or respect for Mona. She only used Homer as a pawn ruining him from the inside out.
I love the Simpson timelines:)
Well, I just started my second rewatch of the series so, this is perfect timing lmfao.
This may be unrelated, but I can't help but think about Ned Flanders' parents, and not just because his mom is also named Mona and was a child of the 1960s.
I also can't help but think that's the reason why Homer doesn't like Ned: Mona (Homer's mum) left, while Mona (Ned's mum) stayed, ultimately admitting that Ned was a rambunctious sot, but yet they didn't discipline him.
That, and his dad (Ned's dad) was Abe's unit commander in WWII, but him still being alive could also be retconned, as it takes ALL the keys of the members to show the location of the Flying Hellfish treasure (unless Ned's dad wasn't included in the tontine).
But Ned’s parents were terrible too, terrible hippies and it’s why Ned turned out totally opposite to them.
monas death and moaning lisa are the only two simpsons moments that really put a tear in my eye well the most impactful anyway
Lol I was about to suggest to do a Mona Simpson timeline but then I saw this
Wait there’s a Simpson’s Theory channel?
Going to be a great video! And a premier:o exciting:D
*edit* turned out great. Have a great week!!
Loved chatting with you Dylan
Right back at ya, I hope to see a Mr money money money Krabs video in a few weeks or so 😊
You'll always be a part of me... D'OH!
This was interesting Lydia, well done 😊
Thank you
@@TheSimpsonsTheory you’re welcome 😊
Dear Simpson Theory,
(Sorry if you have already said this in another video) I believe that Bernie Gumbel is Nelson’s Dad because 1. Why does Bernie spend so much time at Moe’s ? I mean yes he’s an alcoholic
but what if he’s hiding from something
or… someone. And in the episode “ Mommie Beerest , not Bart, not Lisa but Nelson was there when Moe’s is shutdown. This n means that he must have a connection to Moe’s in someway … maybe Bernie. If you were to compare images of Nelson and Bernie (especially when Bernie was a child) , you’d find that they look similar in a way. Which could suggest that they are related.
