Been rewatching Simpsons and came across this interesting story thread. Bart & Homer going head-to-head in a Boxing game - which is like 8-bit Music, 16-bit graphics, but 3D movement (Playstation 1 era), etc. Strange mix, but again... shows more about perception of video games than realistic.
The arcade scene is also funny... this was just before the SF2 era, so interesting that one kid was hogging the boxing machine - undefeated. We'd actually see that type of thing IN ARCADES a few years from when this was produced.
Another really funny anachronism to me is they are using Atari 2600-like joysticks, but aren't holding them right. Not even a gamepad!? hahaha - เกม

That was incredibly rude of Marge.
ikr, like you're telling everyone to drop their shit so Lisa could get their attention right then and there. The fact that Marge belittles it totally shits all over Homer.
Lol She woulda got called so many names
but it was only a silly, loud game.
I wish homer did a haymaker on marge for that
In the modern age this is legit grounds for break up. Don't ever do that shit.
Marge and Lisa really ruined it for poor Homer there.

I have to agree Homer had the boy! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Marge and lisa always ruins the fun
And Bart was too smart for retiring right on time
This reminds me of a story a good friend once told me about his dad. This was shortly after the N64 came out, and his dad is a Doctor. His dad was annoyed that his kids were always beating him in Mario Kart 64. One day my friend got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom or whatever, and he heard the TV on downstairs (this was at like 4am), and snuck down to discover his dad playing Mario Kart 64 by himself, evidently practicing so he could get better than his kids. I always found it funny that a doctor, who already has to get up super early and has such a difficult job, would willingly choose to get up even earlier, so that he could beat his kids in a video game.
Good job Dad! Superior drive... doing what needs to be done. ;-)
That's dedication!
@@Butterball3588 more like dadication
I had a N64 and the most contentious game was definitely Goldeneye.
Its not that crazy. Doctors are very competitive and constantly study to get better and learn new medical techniques and read journals.
3:12 The kid's mother scolds him for "wasting his money", yet he was still on his original quarter for who knows how long. Hardly a waste.
Yeah, but if he bought a BOOK for .25 cents, that would be completely worth his money. ;-)
Yes, any amount was seen as wasted.
My own mother got "dissapointed not angry" at me in a library when I went to find the newest Goosebumps book.
"But you were happy when I started reading them."
Mom: "When you were 7, but you're in 3rd/4th grade,
*You can read REAL books now."*
They just see it as missing the opportunity at doing something better.
It's not the *content;* it's the *context.*
She's a dumb boomer, that's why. $.25 when she was a kid could've bought the whole arcade.
Imagine being angry that your son is spending his time and money on something that makes him happy whilst also socialising with lots of different people.
@@hotaru8309 that's like 2 years difference. Fuck her lol
I don't care if there is a nuclear attack imminent.
You never, EVER disconnect a video game without the player(s) permission.
we have a gamer lady's and gentleman
@Johan Jacobs - get a life boomer troll.
@Johan Jacobs Okay Boomer troll (who has no idea what 'punctuation' is, apparently.
I am bored.
Why would me knowing proper video game etiquette, automatically mean I need to 'go outside'?
(I predict a brief and useless answer)
@Johan Jacobs (looks like I was right)
- I typed 'I was bored' .
Duh.
Now answer the question, troll?
@Johan Jacobs - I said nothing about 'interrupted'.
I said do not 'disconnect' a game while someone is playing.
Interrupting is just asking someone to pause a game. I am fine with that.
Disconnecting without permission is something entirely different...it's just rude.
Now I will ask again, how does me knowing proper, video game etiquette in regards to 'DISCONNECTION without permission' have anything whatsoever to do with me not getting outside enough?
When Homer says OH NO! it breaks my heart.
I felt that!
@@slowpoke8585 We all did. 😥
If he did win, he would've said, "WOO HOO!!!".
Really it broke your heart? You need to go out more often 😂
I found it hilarious
In my childhood in the early 90s it was rare that adults played videogames and most of the time they sucked at it. So the episode really played well in that regard. Bart wipped Homers ass but when Homer put the time and effort in, he got good at the game. Ending was sad that he never got a taste of victory.
YUP! Parents didn't get it... but it enthralled my generation growing up. We evolved with the evolution of the games.. .it was magic.
I talked my Dad into playing Mortal Kombat II with me. I was Liu Kang and Dad was Mileena. He did not do well lol and complained because my character, a man, was assaulting his character, a woman. He gave up after I uppercutted him into the acid deadpool.
Late 80s to early 90s parents did understand us playing video games. I was told if I kept playing nintendo too much that my brain would fry and I would end up retarded.
Well, I grew up in the 90's too.
I don't believe video games were really a thing in our parent's generation.
As in they didn't exist.
But these days, all the kids who used to play video games back in the day are now adults, and are still playing vid games.
@Mike41 lol I remember NBA Jam.
(The game with two players on each side right?)
That game was so bugged.....as in exploitable.
1:56 The greatest Homer scream in the entire 25+ year history of the show. Every time I see this I crack up!!! 🤣
It is truly a terrific, memorable scream!
Konami uses a shortened version of this scream whenever Homer loses a life in the Simpsons arcade game XD
@@AJR-zg2py I need to get that sound FX!!
Went right back to sleep too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
4:06 is the best oh noo
If there's one thing I've always hated as a kid and still do as an adult, it's people who interrupt you when you're deep in the zone of a game and you finally manage to defeat your rival or get past a difficult level/boss
Back in 2005, I was in The middle of a fight, my Mom asked me to Take Out The trash
I always had those annoying moments from my parents bothering me while I was in the zone
Just wait till you have a kid. I'm constantly being interrupted. Unless she thinks the game I'm playing is cool, but she usually only likes zombie games.
I get it quite often while playing NFS Underground 2
And that the people interupting you don't even acknowledge or want to understand that it has more value to you than to them.
"Its got to be little Lisa Simpson. Springfield's answer to a question NO ONE ASKED!"

Christians get mocked in television shows and in real life. Do you see an agenda yet? I don’t see Buddhist or Hindu’s being mocked.
@@servantofthelivinggod6192 yes they have. In simpsons episodes in fact. Haven’t you even heard of Mohammed in South Park?
@@js1.987 What, that one time? Then supposedly the creators of the show were threatened by muslims. Jesus Christ is relentlessly mocked.
@4:06 "Oh No!" that cry from Homer cracks me up every time XD
It's so good
Same.
the voice actor lost passion after this
In the British advert for Bart Vs The Space Mutants they used it at the end
Every freaking time I'm in stitches
That smile of Lisa and Marge always piss me off.
really? 😂
SAME!
It's weird how mad I get at Marge for pulling the plug 😂
I don't think weird at all. Totally justified! ;-)
Its cause shes a bitch in that moment that was actually very mean for soemthing rhat could have waited it was for LISA DID SOMETHING which she does all the time ITS NOT THAT IMPORTANT
Really, eh?
I like Marge a lot.
She is a beacon of niceness/goodness/decency.
But this was so awful (even if she did not know it).
☮
For a game that uses a joystick, it sure has a lot of moves.
Old-school gamer here. Well, gentlemen - graphics notwithstanding, 2-player fighting games with a level of complexity close to this did exist on Atari 8-bit consoles :
---- International Karate ---- by System 3 (published by Epyx ) was one of them .
One joystick . One button . Plenty of depth (for the time) . (^-^)/
@@FORTEtheSECOND Thank you for your insight, sir. I believe I've only played on Atari a few times, in the early 90s. I have but fuzzy memories of this.
@Tiramisù Somewhere in the EU, a random Amiga player is looking at this clip and scoffs at Bart, calling him an amateur.
@@FORTEtheSECOND IK+ on the C64 and the Amiga!!!
@Turrican 4D I sure envy you, sir (I only had an Atari computer back then) . I believe there was a port of sorts of that one on the GameBoy Advance as well. Really cool but, man, so tough! X'D
"If I were you, I'd really would use those quarters for laundry", LOL!!
"Wiseguy" XDXDXD
The jokes about Homer stinking are some of my favorites because you don't expect them. Anyone can tell that homer is overweight or dumb but the show makes more jokes at his expense to remind you he also smells bad.
@@julymagnus493 It makes sense in both ways: Because he knows that a invincible kid is playing that game, and of course, the Homer's bad smell 😂 😂
People like Marge used to drive me crazy. Even if you don't understand or appreciate the video games themselves, how do you also fail to see that a father and son sharing a common interest and goal isn't the most important thing you could possible have in a family?
You get it
Because bart gets constant attention due to his bad behavior, while Lisa's accomplishments tend to get pushed aside, ignored, or generally disliked (saxophone) by Homer. His petty victory over Bart meant nothing in the long term, but showing love to Lisa is a long term investment.
This was the first episode that I saw. I was in the 7th grade. It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years
time fades away
It's not hard to believe you just won't accept you're old
@@JT-xj1pg Like fine wine,Pure nostalgia for us old folks! 📺
Homer is a man beaten down by life. The poor guy worked for this win, he’d needed this win. Can you imagine the positive effect this victory would of had on his psyche? Apply yourself and you can achieve your goal. BUT NO! Marge just couldn’t give Homer like 30 seconds to finish spending time with his son.
amazing how the arcade version tips ported so well to the home version
Most violent way to die a playable character but yet so awesome 1:13
She unplugged the TV not the game console. Turn the TV back on and Homer will still have won.
Do it!
probably plugged into a power bar. . knowing Homer's luck.
@abcde 12345 imagine Homer reading this comment and resuming the game 30 years later.
Not back then you couldn't on consoles
@@RMetsy - I had friends back in the 80s who beat Castlevania by never turning off their Nintendo. They would unhook it from the back of the TV when they weren't playing. Hook it back up the next day and resume where they had paused. (You couldn't save progress on the old consoles.)
1:14- Shockingly this cutscene from the Simpsons predates Mortal Kombat which came out 3 years later in 1992.
... Johnny Cage, Flawless Victory... Fatality!
Homer's pathetic "oh no" was hilarious but Marge really pissed me off in this part. She couldn't let Bart and Homer have a few more minutes of quality time because apparently Lisa wasn't getting enough attention. Humbug!
Me Too Man Homer Beat Bart and her hating ass Unplug the Tv
It would serve to be unintentionally predictive of the sad, sorry future of this once great series.
The thing is, you need to remember the culture back then.
Back then, gaming got very little respect... it wasn't unusual for adults to unplug it and stuff.
My Super Nintendo was put outside... it also happened to rain then.... my poor Super Nintendo.... T^T
But this scene shows the very little respect gaming had back then
I’ve always hated the bitch
Yep, Homer is by no means a good father but Marge does a lot of crap and never gets called on it. I'm sure she could've waited another minute for Homer to have his big moment.
When Homer saying "OH NO" was the sadest thing in an episode about how sad Lisa is. :D
this was so much better and more alive as how people actually react than that horrible episode where homer got marge to play that halo clone and she was like "im trolling im trolling"...so cringe....
jyung woo I'm glad I dodged that episode...
jyung woo The bizarre part is that the trolling joke is still realistic, just not as interesting.
The Simpsons stopped being good in the mid/late 90s
That actually happened? I stopped watching the Simpsons for years so I haven’t seen any of the new seasons
@@jr5925 Golden age extends well into season 11 imo, but from there to maybe 16 are still "good" seasons, and from there to 19 are some enjoyable episodes. Anything after that is unwatchable crap.
People forget that at 1:57 homer screams for around 4-5 seconds then goes straight back to sleep. Hilarious!
The distant dog barking is what sends it over the top.
Once again Marge and Lisa spoil the fun
In some people's eyes... video games are just not a legitimate use of free time. ;-)
@@vghchannel Homer pays all the bills and feeds the family while keeping the lights on. So, if he wants to play a little video games on his off time with his son, so be it.
@@MOGMirros oh yes but after all it's just a cartoon and without that part no joke no fun
@@manuelhernandez589 It is funny to see how people get the situations as if it was real life.
@@LauRa-re9un Because it's real, you don't understand because you don't like videogames ha ha
The earlier seasons will always have a special place in my heart.
They had such authentic betrayals love them with a burning passion
This is a nice little time capsule of a reminder of how taboo it used to be to be into videogames, especially as an adult.
Thankfully all the people who were kids when this aired became adults who still enjoy them and we've mostly moved on past that narrative.
Oh yeah... I got frustrated Dad sayings ALL the time about playing videogames. But it lead to alot of other things, and really is still one of my favorite pastimes.
So true.
@@vghchannel - Yep, I played the old 8 bit Nintendo back in HS. My old man was smoking cigarettes and getting drunk when he was in HS. To each their own.
adults that play video games are still thought of as weird
@@kemchobhenchod - and i have no idea why. One of the best pastimes... and more interactive than T.V. I still read books too, so why is it weird we like video games too? whatever. :-)
Born in '83. Had an NES growing up. My dad and I used to play Genghis Khan (world conquest strategy). He'd play Richard, I'd play Yoritomo and we'd meet in the middle near Kipchak and Persia. Problem with bonding over a game is you both get really, really good at it. When the SNES came out we put even more time in on Genghis Khan II and Nobunaga's Ambition. He wasn't much for the reflex games like Mario but we'd both burn hours smoking dope and joking. No regrets. Life is short. RIP luv ya Dad!
"OH NO!!!!" and Homer's priceless reaction
This symbolizes what went wrong with Bart. With this game and others to come, Homer and Bart could have bonded, and maybe Bart would turn out better than he did in his many future depictions, but Marge took away that out of impatience to pay attention to Lisa.
Yeah come to think of it, that was pretty messed up.
Bart needed to be humbled, but staying undefeated Bart's God-complex and invulnerability will cause him to get into bigger trouble
It's not just lisa who's suffering an existential crisis in this episode. Homer did too. The way bart made him feel old, weak and past it. He was suffering nightmares because of it.
That's a lot more relatable and grounded than lisa "wondering about the sufferings of the world"
The way marge made it feel that it didn't matter really left a bad taste in my mouth. It's not just a game. It was homer's pride and validation.
Throughout the episode, marge didn't know what homer is going through.
Maybe to you but I relate to Lisa's suffering knowing that the world is evil and there's nothing I can do. The fact people seem to be blind to what is happening in the world or make claims to justify them makes things worse. I also relate to homer feeling useless in everything I do but I shouldn't get too personal in a comment section so I'll leave it here
@@JacobTheRandom I feel frustrated, tired and become numb about it.
What Homer suffered was inevitable to all of us. The realization that you're not as strong or capable as you used to be. That is way more personal.
What's even more irritating is the show never gave Homer a proper closure. That it's a lesser issue than lisa.
It's so funny, as a former very young kid at the start of the 90s, they just nailed the scene perfectly. Because my generation basically were introduced to video games in their infancy when we were very young we became quite comfortable and adapted to them very quickly. Whenever grown-ups would pick up the controller they usually tried to control the character by moving their body around and moving the controller through the air just like Homer. I remember telling the adults at the time; the only thing that matters is what buttons you press!
@@mmtot It was a fun simpler time.
We only had Nes back then here. With mario, zyuranger(japanese power ranger), contra, bootleg mortal kombat and street fighter 2, and other nes classics.
I got blown away when I saw ps1 graphics on my friend's house. 👀👀
@Random User You owe nothing to people that you don't know or have any relation to. Lending a hand when you can is still a good thing, but it's a choice not a duty.
Saw this on TV when it was first shown and it is still one of my favorite moments 💯

3:54 I haven't laughed that hard in so long! That delivery is unreal hahah QUIET MARGE!!
0:35… “OOOOOOH, THIS STUPID JOY STICK!!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bart announced his retirement because he knows he lost against Homer. Living with this knowledge is worse than loosing with dignity.
Seriously Marge, Homer just needed one last punch, to be at peace. Let the man have one W
She had so little understanding of the situation that she couldn’t even begin to understand it.
And that ruined 20 years of father and son relationship
That Oh No! will forever be one of my favorite Simpsons memories. Me and my dad were super competitive over video games, card games, fishin, hell everything..so i remember watchin this with him and it really hit home!
3:37 The tip that Homer learned in the Arcade: Press the joystick, not the button
Ohhh! That is helpful. ;-)
I can not help getting EXTREMELY annoyed at Marge. She's without any sense of respect for what other people might feel is important and is completely convinced that she is right and they are wrong, even treating it as no big deal. The worst part is, I think we've all seen this type of person in real life.
I know it's just a cartoon but it really annoys me.
I get you dude.
I think it was Marge in this episode, but not all-the-time Marge. Peggy Hill on the other hand….literally the worst. All the time.
All my aunties, some of my uncles and my grandma(I still love her regardless), they couldn't stand video games. I had to hide that I even play them at malls, or friends houses because they were for losers and you couldn't make a living playing video games is something they said mockingly throughout my whole childhood and teenage life.😖😖😖😖
@@Kruppt808 You are not a kid anymore, if someone cannot stand with ur hobby then fk off that people, what they do to be big in this life? Ah yeah, even a fortune doesn't matter coz some day all of us will turn into dust, some of us peacefully and some in a hell of pain, live the way that u want coz one day u can't live anymore.
Sure, let's just ignore how Homer yelled at his wife, that wasn't disrespectful at all.
1:55 the classic wind-up punch. Unbeatable
Writers were on point with classic Simpsons.
Homer still won, that final blow went off even after the TV was unplugged.
3:14 KAREN confirmed

homers ''oh no'' at the end is the funniest thing ever
I guess that's why they have places like dave and buster and the rec room so adults can play arcade lol

Love how the characters look like them.
I was 6 was this first aired. I thought that there really must've been some cool game in which 2 players could fight in a semi-realistic style (more realistic than, say, Activision's Boxing on Atari) and then you could knock your opponent's head off when you won.
Of course, such a thing didn't exist at the time. But it's neat to see how the game depicted here presaged the fighters of the 16 bit era.
Figured its based off Mike Tyson’s punchout on NES, well Mortal kombat came out not long after so that was a good time, to be a kid
Yeah, crazy old times.
To me the game had a 'Ready 2 Rumble' feel to it. But I know that game came out much later.
James' Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing (released in 1989) exists at that time for the Sega Genesis console, not so violent to depict decapitations or killing the rival but with highly detailed characters.
@@BEACH.LUVER101 it's absolutely based off of Mike Tyson's PO. Homers character is basically king Hippo
Truthfully, that was incredibly rude of Marge. Asking a singleplayer game to be paused is one thing for sure, but a multi-player game, whether split screen or online, its incredibly rude to just interrupt a match. It takes 3 minutes for most multi-player matches, if you can't wait 3 minutes, then you're the rude one.
.......
Well, considering all the times Homer was rude to Marge I believe this is nothing.
@@LauRa-re9un not sure homer has done something this rude, but even if he has, still doesn’t excuse it on Marge’s part
@@crypastesomemore8348 He was rude with her in 90% of the chapters.
In the end, it's just a game. But more than that... I don't think Marge understands how this stuff works. From her perspective, all she is seeing is an adult man complaining about a children's toy.
I actually hated Marge for doing that to Homer. He was about to get a measure of revenge on Bart, before she pulled the plug on the game.
You hate "Marge"? or you hate the writer that decided that to happen?
Well, it's not worth hating her for it. Mad for a bit? Sure. Be angry at the disrespect given? Sure.
If maybe she asked them to stop multiple times and for a while they kept on ignoring her, then it'd be fair...
@@LauRa-re9un Plus it's just a cartoon.
@@radziklvp3442 Exactly LOL
Tbh Marge and Lisa a boring characters, people watch the show for Homer and some of the others like Mr Burns.
This is what happened when Mike Tyson fought Glass Joe
Glass Joe’s comeback was astounding, to be sure.
1:15 The Simpsons version of a fatality before Mortal Kombat existed.
I love how the video game music has the same sound and rhythm as Mike Tysons Punchout on Nintendo back in the day.
Oh yeah, heavily influenced by Mike Tyson's punchout! Great stuff.
It's especially noticeable in the fight where Homer was winning 😅
In 1991, my parents got me an NES and the first scene is almost verbatim of me and my dad.
That's old school Simpsons right there bro 😂😻
Bart got exposed 🤣
Homer whooped em nasty
1:55 Best Homer scream ever!
Marge is going to Hell for that one
3:38 All those years seeing this and never caught the "On the Waterfront" reference.
I just watched it and never caught that
4:06-4:15 The best voice acting I've ever heard! And poor Homer won his first fight but he should've practiced at home honestly.
No, he had the right idea. That’s how I got my brothers together going to the arcade.
Bart is a sore loser, vowing never to never play the boxing game again right after Homer becomes a challenge and pretending that it's a noble action on his part.
Thats the joke, get a sense of humor 🤦🏽♂️
Well he did say it was his last one before they played.
Talking about rubbing it in.
Before the internet was a thing, as soon as me or my brother figured out a new mechanic, we'd destroy each other, until we figured out a new one and the pendulum would shift.
@@roodlyfbuts8006 Exactly! Marge really screwed Homer in this episode.
Lisa and Marge have always ruined things for Bart and Homer. It’s about time that it goes the other way round.
Well... can't say Bart is always nice to his sister... nor that Homer doesn't sometimes let Lisa down. ;-)
Even from a Leeds fan I agree with this comment
not in 2021, in fact it just gets worse from here on out.
That's how father-son relationships should be, playing video games together in a friendly competitive way.
Marge has no idea the damage she inflicted upon Homer unplugging the game
For someone who grew up in the 1980s, back then a dad playing video games with his son would be so rare. In our home, I always get scolded, reprimanded and punished by both my parents for playing video games
I never got scolded or punished for liking video games, but my Dad was of a generation that wasn't on the internet, didn't play video games, didn't have smart phones. My brother and I joke about how 1980 was like peak tech for my Dad. So it seems kind of odd that to me as well, especially for 1990, that Homer would be playing video games with his son.
4:06 Love how Homer says “Oh no!”
Gets me every time! 😂
It's not funny marge simpson waa simply careless and no heart of emotion whatsoever and if i was married to someone like her i would call it quits and advise anyone not to marry people like her.
Uh, give me some quarters. I'm doing my laundry.
Yeah, right.
Where's the video boxing?
It's over there in the corner. If I were you, I really would use those quarters for your laundry.
Wise guy.
Episode premiered in 1990.
Street Fighter 2: The World Warrior - the birth of the 'modern' fighting game, came out in 1991
While an obvious parody and adaptation of a multiplayer version of Mike Tyson's Punch Out, this Episode features 1v1 Fighting game combat, attack combos, taunts, and technically finishing moves - before SF2 or Mortal Kombat.
True. But Street Fighter I, games like Double Dragon, etc. Somebody else commented "Ring King" seems to have a definite influence. Certainly seems there was no direct game inspiration, but like an artistic rendition of a fighting type game.
Howie might be my favorite one-off Simpsons character, idk why. Wonder what he's up to today...
He was ahead of his time, he left Springfield to dominate competitive gaming for the next decade
He's probability professional streamer or a game developer
First season of The Simpsons was awesome. How the mighty has fallen
people who dont bother watching anymore always say this, i respectfully disagree
There were some good/ memorable moments in the first season, but I think you're looking at the first season with rose tinted glasses.
Dude Homer had the boy! 😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite part was when the referee counted down to a decoupled head on the canvas.
My favorite part was when you called the head "decoupled". I mean, it's... technically correct.
3:19 these days that woman would just be considered Ignorant!
She’s a Karen
That fear filled dream sequence beat down is awesome
4:06 oh no!! Lol the way he says it is so hilarious
Oh yeah I actually remember this episode. It's been so long since I seen it, but I'm glad it was edited together so perfectly like this to watch in such a short time
When this premiered i was Bart's age, now I'm older than Homer!
1:23 someone make this a gif
0:06 The voice, the poses, the backwards jumping, the hooks. All of it reminds me of Bald Bull, did somebody play some Punch-Out to have as a reference?
Man, even as a kid this made me feel soooooo bad for Homer. Also, shows are always behind video games, the NES was king at that time and they still used a control stick with one button! Get with the times man!
for all of us who are fighting game players / enthusiast... man this episode is LEGENDARY.....
2:42 he was in the simpson arcade game!
Nice! I gotta play that again.
Marge was rude. Lisa isnt the centsr of the universe. Bart is obviously a losed but still my fav. The simpsons hasnt been the same. Still watch it but prefer the old episodes.
Bart: "I'm gonna knock you out one more time and that's it! This is getting boring man"
Homer: "Just try not to kill me too hard son! Heheheh" 😂
That looks like the old rumpus room that only gets used about twice per decade
I despise Howie’s mom for saying “And you, a man of your age, you should be ashamed of yourself” in front of Homer
I know! Stereo-typical response for so many years... glad that mentality has mostly died.
One of my favorite episodes is when Bart and Milhouse play a Mortal Kombat clone.
Thrillho. Hee hee
"Kevin, don't you already have this game ?"
"No Mom, you idiot !"
Bart: that kid must be the happiest boy in the world
I remember watching this as a kid.
Thanks for uploading it!
1:58 that’s the first appearance of Homer’s legendary scream
In homers defence it looks like Marge unplugged the TV, not the console. So technically that punch did land.
She could've unplugged the power strip were both the TV and the console were plugged
I am a middle age man, 35 years old. I'm almost as old as Homer (38), and I have around 8 arcade machines in my living room. Should I be ashamed like the lady said?
No way! Celebrated. 8 arcade machines in the living room is an achievement!
8 arcade machines! Noice!
Please tell me you have the 1994 Aliens Vs. Predator beat em up cabinet 🤤
@@joestimemachine6454 sorry to disappoint you, but I only have a Capcom Q25 cabinet and the alien vs predator cps2 game. Not the dedicated arcade cabinet. :(.
@@shinji097 Still really cool. I envy you.
I can't believe how much video games have improved so much since then.
The best show from the 90s in my opinion, thanks.
If I was Homer I’d unplug the phone when Marge tried chatting with her sisters or friends.
It's so weird to see this and notice that this satire appeared long before Mortal Kombat and even Doom.
Noiseland Video Arcade. For those of you too young to remember those place, that is the most accurate name one of those places could possibly have had.
3:38 the buttons swap around on the joystick XD
