I think the Robert Goulet joke works so well because of the emotional reaction he has to the idea that his manager told him to shut up as well as the absurdity of him so quickly and easily believing Nelson, a child he has presumably never met before
Right on target! ❤❤ I said this: I can explain why that scene is funny with a literal quote from the scene: “VERA said that…?!” The shock, the anchor to reality while also clearly distorting what is believable *chef’s kiss* MmmMMM! That’s GOOD plastic explosive- I mean- comedy 😂
I forgot how many gags in this episode became classics. When I was a kid, Burns' reminiscing of crippling an Irishman was the funniest thing in the world. The crossfades of him chuckling in various locations is such a perfect summary of his sadistic nature.
For those who are big memers & haven't seen this episode yet, this is the episode where Homer burst into Bart's room in the middle of the night, warning him about Boogymen in the house. I honestly don't know how that became a meme unlike Bart hitting Homer with a chair did. Probably because of Bart screaming afterwards.
The Henry Kissinger joke is funny because of just how random it is. Like, he's such a specific person to have for a joke, it makes it funny by itself. The awkward silence between him and Burns is also brilliant.
'Yes, well, I'm sure I left them in the car...' *THINKS* 'No one must know I dropped them in the toilet...not I, the man who drafted the Paris Peace Accords...'
"The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isoceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side." "That's a *RIGHT* triangle, ya idiot!" "D'oh!"
The Robert Goulet joke always gets me. I think it’s the way Robert naively accepts Nelsons assertion that his manager tells him to shut up, the slight note of puzzlement is perfect.
Maybe a video on seemingly one-off things that stick? Lisa getting into jazz, Lisa becoming a vegetarian, Lisa becoming a Buddhist (weird that the three most prominent ones are for Lisa), Barney getting sober (before relapsing in a throwaway joke), etc. Home became the plant's safety inspector, and that seemed to stick for a while, until it disappeared. I wonder if there's a reason Lisa's character has been allowed to have lasting changes while Bart hasn't. Great work. Keep it up, and happy holidays :)
Largely because most of Lisa's changes involved topical lifestyles being endorsed by a celebrity. McCartney and Gere in fact only agreed to do their role if those elements stuck for the rest of the series.
@@macmonkeyhat I don't think it was in the Tracey Ullman shorts, the Season One episode with Ron Taylor's character was the first use of it besides the intro (which was likely made afterwards given episode production timeframe).
The Robert Goulet was the absurdity of a grown man stopping and listening to a child and the town bully, Nelson Muntz, seriously believing that what he said could be considered true.
This episode probably has my favorite Mr. Burns moments. Going from laughing at misfortunes he wreaked in years past to becoming Howard Hughes just makes me laugh.
Some fav lines from this ep: "I'm not a state! I'm a monster!" "Oh what was I laughing at? OH yes! That crippled Irishman!" "I'm Idaho" "I'm old! Gimmie, Gimmie Gimmie!'
What makes that joke so funny is the 'Vera said that?' Which reminds us for a second that Goulet is a real guy, who would be baffled by this situation but also still wants to make the cheque, so he goes along with the show.
That might be my favorite part. "Hey Marge, remember when I let that escaped mental patient in the house because he was dressed as Santa claus? Well you have a gambling problem"
@@Matty002 That's the dumbest thing about Simpson's predictions really. People just don't realize that's what the world was like in the late 80's and early 90's
I absolutely love this episode! All the different stories make it all the more entertaining. Mr Burns is fantastic in this episode. I love his flashback about his childhood on the Riverfront. I enjoy The Homer and Marge stuff a lot too. Great episode!
The Rain Man joke is still absolutely hilarious. The fact that Homer is too stupid to know about Hoffman's character having Autism and reacts to the character's sensory overload by blindly screaming whilst banging his head is side-splittingly funny. It wouldn't work if it was done by an intelligent character, as it would come off as mean-spirited and mocking.
Still one of my favorite episodes. Also didn't realize the Howard Hughes reference until i watched "The Aviator" many years later. This episode has so many awesome moments. Like that clerk throwing out Bart from the casino, mocking him and then getting paid back when Bart opens a casino in his treehouse :D The opening of the episode is also a great start and really already sets the vibe for the whole episode. A big pot of all sorts of somehow connected jokes. And i wonder what really happened when Homer, Bart and Lisa fought the Boogieman at night :O Also… i wonder how many people noticed that Burns' Casino bedroom is the exact bedroom from the final Scene in "2001 - A Space Odyssey"
I only just realized that Florida is spelled wrong on Lisa's costume. Man, over a quarter century and 50+ viewings, I'm still finding new stuff. That's what made The Simpsons so great.
TheRealJims: Who would want to watch someone playing slots for seven minutes. Kaiji Fans: Sir, you have insulted my honor and I challenge you to a duel. *Slaps him with a glove*
Tito Akinsade People don’t count season 1 as part of the “classic Simpsons” cuz we all know it’s not that great. But yeah you just want a S1 episode reviewed ey
I read from an interview with Bill Oakley that the new guy always has to start with a Marge episode. His first episode to work on was Marge Gets A Job. The most hankered-after episodes to write are the Homer episodes. Where does this one fall?
@@ToonReel001 Huh, that would explain why they made two episodes about Marge having her body modified in some way (Large Marge and Strong Arms of the Ma) so close to each other, they got two new hires on the writing team and they cribbed off each other.
I thought ending without showing resolution to Marges addiction was brilliant twist in series typical pace. It feels like were specifically told this is something that wasn't fully resolved. Marge has addiction and but she is just over it for now...
Yeah, I was shocked that the "Rain Man" joke was left in on Disney plus, especially since they edited the "Tourette's" joke out and of course, pulled the MJ episode altogether.
Watching this review really puts into perspective, the weird balance of horribly outdated and incredibly ahead of its time humor this episode has. Stuff like the Rain Man joke and the casino pitch jokes are *very* outdated, but then stuff like the Siegfried and Roy joke (despite how dark it eventually became) and the entire recession aspect of the plot are weirdly prophetic. This is a weird episode man.
I think it maybe helps that we're used to elements in the Simpsons being the pivot in an episode and never being brought up again, so the casino (or rather two casinos) just existing afterwards isn't that glaring an issue. Plus this episode was really good at semi-finalising side plots in rapid fire gags like Lisa's contest entry and Burns ditching the casino to go back to his plant. What I like is that Homer's incompetence in this episode sets up to an epic (if still in character) role reversal, a rare bit of insight from the guy we really don't expect from this particular episode. Concerning Bart I guess it's just him at his best when in a supporting role, being his devious self and making the best of the current situation, much like Homer is trying to and at least bungling some sort of payoff. It's one of those episodes where they have an easier time immersing into the current events (if through ignorance of the seriousness of them), while Marge and Lisa's neuroses take them over, ironically in spite of Marge actually trying to enjoy herself for once.
@@qwerty6383 That's not the still he's showing. The still in question is when Homer is dealing blackjack and puts his hand over a gambler's hand. Then another still where they're both screaming with their hands to their heads.
4:36 Audio: "There's a veneer of dopiness that helps everything out." Captions: "There's a veneer of dough penis that helps everything out." Me: …Really?
I imagine that even though the national economy might’ve been doing OK, a lot of local economies must’ve been struggling around 1993, with American manufacturing being on the decline and all that, so Springfield’s situation wouldn’t really be off.
My favorite thing about the Gerry Cooney moment is the contrast with Barney interacting with Joe Frazier. Barney gets the crap beaten out of him after provoking Frazier and Otto lays out Gerry Cooney in one hit with little provocation.
Granted that was because Frazier's kids demanded Frazier always win a fight, while Cooney supposedly had no outside interference preventing him being a good sport to the gag.
This is my favourite episode humour wise. It's always made me laugh regardless of my age. (I started watching the Simpsons at 6 and I still laughed at it.)
as someone who built a casino on our Minecraft server I understand why they exist. You make so much money from it, these casino owners won't just give it up even if it becomes illegal.
The best scene of the episode isn't even in it ^^ Homer being the black Jack Dealer in the James Bond joke is so amazingly funny. I love it as much as I dislike James Bond
Allow me, if you will, to help you put this into MY perspective of the episode. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. Before you ask, no, we do NOT live “in the casino”! Please stop asking. This episode was heaven on earth for a kid like me. The casinos are frankly more trouble than they’re worth. This doesn’t mean I’m against gambling, but when you watch your local schools consistently and shockingly deteriorate over and OVER again, but the casinos just added a new rooftop pool they’re cramming drunk idiots into during COVID when school kids can’t even play outside at all because of 🎶 ☁️ “the symmmmptoms”! ☁️ 🎶 Then you would love this episode too 😅 go easy on the Kissinger scene, I feel about it what you feel about the Robert Goulet scene. Lmao 😜 they card read gud! Love these videos, and if you’d like, I can also explain why that scene is funny with a literal quote from the scene: “VERA said that…?!” The shock, the anchor to reality while also clearly distorting what is believable *chef’s kiss* MmmMMM! That’s GOOD plastic explosive- I mean- comedy 😂
Oh wait, so Marge's Gambling addiction is the Writers paying homage to the Twilight Zone once again!, specifically S01E17 "The Fever" where the main character falls for a slot machine just the same
Man, there are too many good jokes in this episode. It's also interesting in that they actually stuck to Marge having a gambling addiction in later episodes, at least from what I can remember.
whenever someone talks about this episode it should be a rule that people have to say the full title, much like "Hollywoo stars and celebrities what do they know do they know things let's find out" in bojack horseman
"not sure if this joke has aged very well" I actually never got that joke of the man and Homer screaming and then hitting themselves. Sure they fighting but that's all I got
"That made Lisa cry.
Then I cried.
Then Maggie laughed.
She's such a little trooper!"
More proof Maggie is evil 👿
I think the Robert Goulet joke works so well because of the emotional reaction he has to the idea that his manager told him to shut up as well as the absurdity of him so quickly and easily believing Nelson, a child he has presumably never met before
It's even funnier when you realize Vera was Goulet's wife.
Right on target! ❤❤ I said this: I can explain why that scene is funny with a literal quote from the scene: “VERA said that…?!” The shock, the anchor to reality while also clearly distorting what is believable *chef’s kiss* MmmMMM! That’s GOOD plastic explosive- I mean- comedy 😂
@@ianfinrir8724okay, I had NO idea about that 🤣 Makes it so much funnier, thank you! ❤
Plus there's the fact that you can tell from his reaction that it would be very unlike her to do that, but this still doesn't stop him from believing
"I call him Gamblor and won't rest until I free her from his neon claws"
That is by far my favorite Homer rant next to the sugar pile rant.
@@ianfinrir8724 first you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women

The Robert Goulet joke always gets me. I think it’s the way Robert naively accepts Nelsons assertion that his manager tells him to shut up, the slight note of puzzlement is perfect.
60 second reviews are like little teasers that get me hyped the the extra seconds.
Keep em comin Jim.👍
Barney Booth thought the same thing when I saw this was up
🚜💙
"Vera said that?" Is super funny
Maybe a video on seemingly one-off things that stick? Lisa getting into jazz, Lisa becoming a vegetarian, Lisa becoming a Buddhist (weird that the three most prominent ones are for Lisa), Barney getting sober (before relapsing in a throwaway joke), etc. Home became the plant's safety inspector, and that seemed to stick for a while, until it disappeared.
I wonder if there's a reason Lisa's character has been allowed to have lasting changes while Bart hasn't.
Great work. Keep it up, and happy holidays :)
Largely because most of Lisa's changes involved topical lifestyles being endorsed by a celebrity. McCartney and Gere in fact only agreed to do their role if those elements stuck for the rest of the series.
Really? That's a bit underwhelming, and kinda lame considering most other characters don't get permanent character changes.
I think Lisa’s interest in jazz was established since the beginning, wasn’t really a character change
@@macmonkeyhat I don't think it was in the Tracey Ullman shorts, the Season One episode with Ron Taylor's character was the first use of it besides the intro (which was likely made afterwards given episode production timeframe).
Actually after Barney relapsed in "I'm Spelling as Fast as I Can" he went sober again. He didn't relapse for good until "My Big Fat Geek Wedding."
Barts casino was hilarious "what are you gonna do? Start your own casino in your treehouse and invite all your little freinds"
And just two adults.
1:25 Not sure I noticed before that Lyle Lanley actually made the monorail driver in his drawing look like Homer.
The Robert Goulet was the absurdity of a grown man stopping and listening to a child and the town bully, Nelson Muntz, seriously believing that what he said could be considered true.

I think this episode is to tier, it’s one of the funniest ones and one of those I find myself going back to watch over and over

I randomly say this to friends when I'm throwing a BBq
I feel like the ""I'm not a State, I'm a Monster!" (Florida) bit is an overlooked instance of The Simpsons predicting the future.
but florida has always been a mess. its less a prediction and more a coincidence it works both literally and metaphorically

I always giggle at Homers reaction when Lisa says she dreamt the Boogie man was after her

It's a reference to the film Rain Man, and the guy is supposed to be autistic. Hence the joke not aging well.
