He said he enjoyed voicing the bodyguard instructor more than voicing himself. But kudos to him for being such a good sport with all the star wars jokes and references
It's very ironic that he also voices many bad guys with deep Darth Vader-like satanic voice. My favorites are his roles as Avatar's Firelord Ozai and Mr. Salacia from Metalocalypse.
This isn't even technically "old Simpsons" as old as this episode has gotten this is still considered " new Simpsons" "new Simpsons" is ironically that old.
lol, in case anyone is wondering, the opening guys and dolls theme isn't actually in the musical "Guys and Dolls". It's the theme to "Hooray for Hollywood" with random lyrics put to it :P
"And all the other puppets?!" Cracks me up every time, meta acknowledging all the characters in Star Wars made possible by good old fashioned puppetry.
@@Psergiorivera Because they were huge helpers to the Rebellion. Princess Leia never would’ve made it off Cloud City without Chewie. I also think he made Han realize that they needed to help Luke with attacking the Death Star in “ A New Hope” . Honor is very important to Wookiees. As for the Ewoks… they were key in blowing up the Second Death Star’s shield generator on Endor. Finally who doesn’t love furry creatures whether big or small? What 🎥 did you watch?
George Lucas originally asked Jim Henson to be Yoda. However he was too busy so he suggested his chief puppeteer Frank Oz. A lot of fans were angry about using CGI for Yoda. Oz defended the decision. I agree with Oz. I don’t think a puppet could’ve done the great lightsaber fights with Count Dooku and Emperor Palpatine.
It’s popular because it’s shoved down everyone’s throat. Look at how other shows promote the garbage. The 40 year old garbage that almost nobody wants to watch anymore. It’s absolutely ridiculous. 🤣🤣
It didn't start getting consistently bad until 2002 or 2003. I think I stopped watching in 2005 when it became clear that it wasn't ever going to be good regularly enough to be worth watching ever again
Late 90s and early 2000s Simpsons were still decent, some people think that after the golden age (s2-s8) there's nothing but crap seasons and that's not really true, I'd say that around season 13-14 is were they started to have more bad episodes than good
@@waeon I can handle up to around season 15, but that's in part because those last few seasons is when I actually started watching the episodes as they aired, and I didn't realize they weren't as good at the time.
It’s funny when you know that Mark Hamil actually did have a successful Broadway career immediately after starting Star Wars, specifically to avoid getting typecast as Luke
I always assumed there was a wordplay with "force" and "forks" and it was until today that I found out it was. Indeed such a wordplay can't be translated to spanish.
All this time I thought the first “Guys and Dolls” song here was in the musical, only realising now after 23 years that it’s actually a Simpsons original! 😂
Yep I went to the live show. I was so confused when it finished and they hadn't performed the song. It was only after extensive researching I found out I'd clearly just heard it from the Simpsons.
Wait, you mean you thought there was an actual show tune with the lyrics " _Guys and Dolls, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Guys and Dolls_ "?
@moimeme6533 My brain had filled in the lyrics as "Here comes the Guys and Dolls...." And I'd then assumed I couldn't remember the second line. I hadn't seen the Simpsons clip for a good 10-15 years but the hook had Nested in my subconscious. When I went to see the musical Guys and Dolls around 6 months ago - knowing nothing about the musical - I'd assumed the hook I'd remembered came from the musical itself, not a Simpsons spoof.
@@TheGreenReaper You think you had it hard to hear! The musical theatre society, at my uni, decided to put on ‘Rent’, but it was such a two-bit operation, they didn’t have enough mics for everyone, so, throughout the show, they had to take turns using them; which meant, for some numbers, you could hear a few of the actors perfectly, but then for others, you could barely hear the same actors at all, because they’d passed the mics on to other people. Not only was it technically a complete and utter clusterfuck of a production; it also unfortunately made, what is supposed to be a serious, & touching musical, absolutely fucking hilarious haha.
0:48 🎵Luke be a Jedi tonight. Just be a Jedi tonight. Do it for Yoda while we serve our guests a soda. Uh and do it for chewie and the Ewoks. And all the other puppets.
As a kid I never caught the Hamill line about “We’re just a crazy bunch of Guys and Dolls!” not being in the show, so when I saw it many years later it was a shock.
If I remember correctly from the DVD commentary, Mark wasn't too keen on playing himself as a washed-up Star Wars guy, but agreed to do it on the condition that he could also play another character as well. They agreed and let him play the bodyguard drill sergeant.
I find it hard to pick my favourite guest appearance in Simpsons. But for me there are three that really stand out amongst the rest. Mark Hamil Leonard Nemoy (both appearances of him are hilarious) The Romones
The library i used to go to all the time always had a copy of the real Guys And Dolls sitting on as a display on top of the CD area of their stuff. Having never watched the real play, it always made me think of this scene. I keep using the past tense because of covid, the library has been shut down for over a year, and who knows if it'll ever reopen. ☹
Let's be honest if we had to choice. Everyone would rather watch this version of guys and dolls. Then watch the Phantom Menace. And Hamil is an absolute god for doing this.
"GIMME THAT KNIFE!"
"No, it's mine!"
LMAO! Why is that exchange so funny to me?
"You're all talk, Hamil. You never even finished Jedi School."
Greatest line ever.
My favorite line.
"No more training do you require"
Graduation complete
Ha!
😂😂
Joe pecssi?
You're all talk, Hamill! You never even finished Jedi school!
so true
"Hey pal, that's *_my_* headshot up there next to the pepper steak, and don't you forget it."
One of my favourite lines the Simpsons have written love how mark ripped on himself in this episode
Classic!!!
And yet he taught at Jedi college, where he was known for being unprofessional and threatened one of his students.
In the commentary Mark Hamill mentioned that he loved how the writers made him a complete sellout. Pitching phone service during a play.
It was a sci fi convention.
still better than what he did for disney
@@stproducciones9140 congratulations for the most original joke of all time, you win comedy!
@@dukenukem42069 what joke?
@@stproducciones9140 heheh. Ture
I dont know why but "Do it for your yoda while we serve out guests a soda" is such an underappreciated and genius line!
I’m sure Mark Hamill was more than happy to do this episode. Voice acting seems to be his favorite line of work
He is an amazing voice actor to many of us he is the one true joker due to all the voice work he does for that character
He said he enjoyed voicing the bodyguard instructor more than voicing himself. But kudos to him for being such a good sport with all the star wars jokes and references
Voice acting is the only work he can get, he got type cast and was never known for more than luke skywalker, except maybe the trickster.
It's very ironic that he also voices many bad guys with deep Darth Vader-like satanic voice. My favorites are his roles as Avatar's Firelord Ozai and Mr. Salacia from Metalocalypse.
@@Beerbottles123 Yes, Ozai doesn't seem to be a role that seems like him from the outset.
It's the little things that make these old Simpsons episodes so good - like Loui screaming when his tie is stabbed.
This isn't even technically "old Simpsons" as old as this episode has gotten this is still considered
" new Simpsons" "new Simpsons" is ironically that old.
Gimme that knife
No its mine
But I'm just here to kill...
This is actually new Simpsons lmao, it's just so old, that new simpsons is old too
"these old episodes" man I'm old lpl
lol, in case anyone is wondering, the opening guys and dolls theme isn't actually in the musical "Guys and Dolls". It's the theme to "Hooray for Hollywood" with random lyrics put to it :P
Thanks 🙌
Everytime I hear that song I can't stop singing "Guys and doooOOOOlls!!" 🎶🤣🤣🤣🤣
I WAS wondering that a bit, yeah.
I love how they even say "this song isn't even in the show" partway through, but people still get confused.
AKA a contrafactum!
0:59: I love it when Mark almost struggles to continue singing. “Uh…and do it for Chewie and the Ewoks.” Hahahahaha!
1:02: "Aaaand...all the other puppets?"
Yesss! 😂🤣 As someone who’s had to improv, that’s how it feels lmao
@@milesknightestrada3286I'm pretty sure it says "and all the other hobbits," just to make it even more off track
"Gimme that knife!"
"Nah, it's mine!"
Reminds me of:
"Any last requests?"
"Can I have the gun?"
Lol, this is my favorite line
honestly that bit sounds improvised
Little moments like this are what make the show so special 😂
@@CrashFan03Why is everyone on TH-cam so obsessed with thinking every funny or dramatic bit in a show or film is improvised
"And all the other puppets?!" Cracks me up every time, meta acknowledging all the characters in Star Wars made possible by good old fashioned puppetry.
I like “Do it for Chewie and the Ewoks”… I mean what for? Lol
@@Psergiorivera Because they were huge helpers to the Rebellion. Princess Leia never would’ve made it off Cloud City without Chewie.

The best part is that Chewie and the Ewoks aren't even puppets, they're people in suits.
Especially since Jim Henson was dead. That would have made it a little difficult to do.
I like the implication that all hamill remembers from the various star wars aliens is "those puppets I filmed together with"
I grew up with this show. This was another episode where I saw the Simpsons spoof something before I saw the original source material.
"No, it's mine!"
"Homer. Use the for-"
"The force?!"
"The forks! Use the forks!"
"Oh."
"Give me that knife!"
"No, it mine!"
-Homer, use the for...
-The force?
-The forks, use the forks.
-Oh.
Homer almost forgot he was about to get killed and thought he was in a movie or some shit 💀💀
I was today years old when I learned that the song "Guys and dolls, we're bunch of crazy guys and dolls" isn't actually from the real musical.
Oh no no no no no no
Hamil literally said that here.
I never understood why the head chef was also apparently the director
It's to shows how two-bit of an operation this is that Mark Hamill is working for.
That aside, did the cops knew that internal affairs were setting them up?
Theater doesn't pay well.
It's dinner theater, not dinner AND theater.
Catchy, no wonder why Star Wars is so popular.
It’s popular because it’s shoved down everyone’s throat. Look at how other shows promote the garbage. The 40 year old garbage that almost nobody wants to watch anymore. It’s absolutely ridiculous. 🤣🤣
Servant of the living God shut the fuck up loads of ppl including myself watch star wars
Very disappointed this wasn't in The Last a Jedi
I assure you Rey, singing a rendition of "Luck Be a Lady Tonight" is VITAL to your jedi training!
i am dissapointed this was not in the muppet show.
also he should have been graggling grysiwald.
I would pay good money to see the sequels if they had this
But this was the last Jedi!
"Hey pal, that's my headshot up there next to the pepper steak and don't you forget it."
"You're all talk Hamil, you never even finished Jedi school."
Luke: "This is a conceptual nightmare..." If he only knew what was coming...
Rhapsody street kids.
Mobsters.
Get the fuck over it you whiney little bitch.
@@JohnDoe-vn1we Over what?
I liked "The Last Jedi".
"you're not mad at me are ya?"
This is the only version of guys and dolls I know.
Me too 😊
There's ANOTHER version?
I remember laughing so hard at this as a kid. Its still hilarious.
One of my favourite episodes of The Simpsons.
Andrew Chapman it's one of my favourite episodes, too. I rewatched this morning and I couldn't stop laughing
Same!
And five years later I’m still laughing at it
It's a shame it stopped being funny
Do it for Yoda while we get our guest a soda!.....
Ugh and do it for Chewie and the Ewoks... and all the other puppets!
Mark Hamill: "Homer, use the for-"
Homer: "The Force?"
Mark Hamill: "The forks, use the forks!"
Classic.
Mark Hamill is sooo funny in this bit... it's hilarious.
“You’re all talk hamill you never even finished Jedi school” 😂😂my favorite joke on the Simpsons.
There are so many jokes here that could have fallen flat on their faces but the execution is great here. Suprised by Season 10
It didn't start getting consistently bad until 2002 or 2003. I think I stopped watching in 2005 when it became clear that it wasn't ever going to be good regularly enough to be worth watching ever again

“DO IT FOR YODA WHILE WE SERVE OUR GUEST A SODA 🥤 “
Thanks for the lyrics
@@keyanawhitely7942 haha of course!
soda‼
They stole this rhyme from Weird Al!
1:19 I don't know what was more impromptu, the dance or the drum solo.
So no one's talking about Louie's tap dancing abilities
That was extremely funny.
I think I saw him in Rent, or Stomp or Clomp, or some piece of cr@p
I like how Homer actually tries to look him up.
Wow, the last Jedi looks great!
Disney Rocks ! 👍
I went to a school play of Guy's and Dolls when I was around 7 I was so sad they didn't play this song.
Share to them too! Consider and do business with Disney !
Yeah my high school put it on when I was in form 5
Use the forks XD hahaha! I'm mexican, when I saw it in spanish this joke couldn't be translated.
Si yo soy latino tambien, LPM jajaja en ingles suena mejor aunque en una version creo que decia "usa el poder" en vez de " Usa la fuerza"
"Homero, usa la fuerza... la fuerza de los cubiertos".
I always assumed there was a wordplay with "force" and "forks" and it was until today that I found out it was. Indeed such a wordplay can't be translated to spanish.
It’s 20something years after this episode aired and I still quote those Guys and Dolls lyrics all the time
"...Use the forks! The force?" I will always like this line!😂
Mark Hamill enjoyed doing this more than the Disney Star Wars Sequels probably
That caterer is one busy guy. Taking care of food, directing the play, and pushing around mobsters and celebrities 😂
MARK HAMILL is Nathan Detroit
PEPPER STEAK is The Entree

*No, it's mine!*
My goodness the jokes on this show used to come so rapidly you couldn't keep up.
Louie’s tap dance at 1:19 and Homer saying ‘That guy with the knife sure can dance huh!’ still makes me laugh to this day 🤣🤣
I love that he has a problem with the show conceptually and the wardrobe..

“You never even finished Jedi school!”
I mean, yeah.
The guys and dolls song has been stuck in my head since I was a kid.
For decades I thought this was what Guys and Dolls was like, except for the Luke bit.
Never understood why the chef was working his kitchen on stage left haha...
More like the place is such a dive, that stage left leads into the Kitchen. :D
i’ve had “luck be a lady” stuck in my head all day and discovering this exists made my day 3000 times better
Mark never finished Jedi school but Homer is a seasoned warrior in the ways of the fork.
“But I’m just here to kill GAAAHHH!!!”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
*TAP DANCING INTENSIFIED*
It feels like Star Wars turns into a musical.
Hilarious scene and one of my favortie episodes.
Way to go, Mark Hamill!

"Just be a Jedi tonight."
As a kid I never caught the Hamill line about “We’re just a crazy bunch of Guys and Dolls!” not being in the show, so when I saw it many years later it was a shock.
Don't forget, Mark already sang and danced on the Muppet Show;
Every single time I order a soda I hear this song. Every...single...TIME! lol
He didn’t finish Jedi School. Even the mob knows it
Springfield had some legit theatre.
0:08 the conversation between Mark Hamill and Rian Johnson.
Lmfao
...And all the other puppets??? Little things like how he said that line is what made this show so amazing.
Sometimes I sing this version and it's such a deep cut that I think people who know the musical will think that I don't
I love how the first song was completely made up, and the second song was a parody of an actual guys and dolls song
I'm doing a Community Theater production of Guys and Dolls right now. After one of my shows, a friend of mine pulled up this clip.
Share to them too! Consider and do business with Disney !
hahahaha this song oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, and the way luke dances lmao
"GIMME THAT KNIFE" "NO IT'S MINE"
Aw you forgot the best part
