I literally caught a cold on the day I was gonna record this video... So it ended up delaying production on this one for several days. Hopefully my extra-nasally voice isn't too distracting in this one, although maybe that is appropriate for a video about the Blue-Haired Lawyer
Is it not for immersion?
You just sound closer to the blue-haired lawyer!
I hope you get better soon TheRealJims
why not do a Simpsons Histories on props inside the Simpsons house. For example, the sailboat painting that hangs above the couch. The other Simpsons car (the orange one) the corn curtains in the kitchen.
Love all the Simpson's content. Every video is gold!
I 100% headcanon that Blue Haired Lawyer is the successful Van Houten of Springfield
He's Milhouse's real father.
He changed the color of his glasses and boom
"uncle herb" van houten/ Bouvier.
or from milhouses' mothers side of the family, came from Shelbyville as well
@Roboshi2007 I second this or he's from the more popular Danish line
The Blue Haired Lawyer was never on anyone's side. He just does his job
Reminds me of how Chief Wiggum's intelligents skyrockets but only when he's going after any of the Simpson's family. At all other times, he is stupid.
@@pickyphysicsstudent201As he says "the law is powerless to help you, not punish you."
He's on the side that'll give him more money
Being on one's own side is typically a very smart move.
In fairness, he's still usually a more zealous advocate for his clients than his clients, themselves. Only so much counsel can do once their client threatens violent reprisals or flatly admits guilt. XD
We got blue haired lawyer before disco Stu…. Justice for Stu
if these trends continue....
AYY!
Still waiting for an episode on Moe's tavern, or any other famous location
Disco Stupendous.
Agreed. Disco Stu should advertise
I had no idea Disco Stu was so complex.
the way this character says "dinner dawg" has lived rent free in my head for years
And Dinnuh Doawwwg
This video was incredibly validating to me
@@nickchambers3935 I think this name may be inspired by the title of the early 1960s Terrytoons produced TV Show Deputy Dawg. As an animation fan, this epsidoe is real special because it is fairly accurate (Legal Eagel praised its depiction of copyright law).
Dzinner Dzawg
Dinnah dwaugh
He actually _was_ the antagonist of a "Homer becomes a Lawyer" story in the comics. He spends most of the issue becoming increasingly frustrated as Homer uses grandstanding pop culture references and gimmicks to bamboozle his way to victory, until one of those antics results in Judge Snyder being set on fire while Homer is trying to defend Bart in an arson case. Homer ends up handing the case off to Lisa when his stunts are banned. Also, it gave us this exchange:
Homer: "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the blue-haired lawyer-"
Blue-Haired Lawyer: "I _have_ a name."
Homer: "Sure you do."
Paraphrasing because it's been over a decade since I read the issue, mind.
better call simpson
@@ToaArcan speaking of the comics; I always forget that Krusty getting a real MD instead of a novelty one by mistake, and then immediately abusing it to sell prescriptions, wasn’t in the TV show.
If youre still looking for the issue, its #107, chronicled in the story “To Kill a Mocking Bart”. You actually got the exact lines down pat too, lol
@@itsStephJM Thanks!
I love how esoteric this series can be for no reason
It's a video series about Simpsons, of course it's esoteric, lol
This series is not a food.
@@jacobs.9661 swing and a miss...
@@jacobs.9661 Are you under the impression that only food can be esoteric?
@@jacobs.9661 Huh? I'd eat The Simpsons. The show.
I think the toilet being his comfort spot is supposed to be a reference to lawyers rehearsing or psyching themselves up in the bathroom before a hearing
and to do lines...script lines...obviously 😊
Hearing Jim’s say rizzler feels like a crime against humanity
I’m in the generation that’s supposed to say stuff like “rizz” and even I feel old af the very rare times I say it because I am *so* not up on modern culture. Like I only know the most basic things possible about the Drake-Kendrick feud; that’s how behind the times I am
It's the best
@@bullmonty764 Same, i only say it ironically lol
@@bullmonty764 You're not behind the times. You're just not incredibly and unbelievably normiefied to such a degree that you actually think the drake-kendrick feud is anything other than slop and gruel for the masses. That some zoomers genuinely think it constitutes something to be proud of knowing anything about tells you everything you need to know about that generation. (not that young people have ever been anything other than pure cringeworthiness.)
Gen Z slang makes me sick. I don't mean that in a moral sense. It actually physically is unbearable to me to hear somebody use words like "rizz", "skibidi" or "let him cook" unironically. It is painful.
@@bullmonty764 Sounds like your skibidi ain't sigma enough (am I doing that right?)
I vote for Bumblebee Man or Rainer Wolfcastle, mostly because I consider them the most underrated characters of the golden age
Wolfcastle, underrated?
That's the joke
I second Wolfcastle just for the inevitable “Let’s put the McBane movie segments in order” sequence
Dios no me ama!
No Chance for Wolfcastle! He leaves the Toilet Seat up.
@@buffynatorofficial He was just joking about that
My vote for a Simpsons histories is my personal favorite character - Homer's brain! You could even make it Simpsons mysteries, because I don't know how much he shows up now
Meta. I hate meta
@@TheOrangeRoadThe Simpsons does meta jokes fairly often.
They still do Homer's brain jokes every now and than
Oh, I love whenever characters (not just Homer) talk to their own brains.
"Oh, twenty dollars? I wanted a peanut."
"Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!"
"Explain how."
"Money can be exchanged for goods and services."
"It's just like David and Goliath, only this time David won!"
*Lisa's Brain:* "I know, I heard it, too. Here's some music."
"The Computer will do our thinking now!"
Comic Book Guy not having a histories yet blows my mind. Great video as usual.
"Loneliness and cheeseburgers are a dangerous mix"
I'd be very interested in a Comic Book Guy video, because despite being introduced in season 2, he was surprisingly used very sparingly until season 6.
I wonder what Jims' thinks of his spotlight episodes, I remember him calling Homer the Whopper okay on Twitter (I think that episode's pretty good) but idk what he thinks of the other ones.
I'm not really into Married to the Blob or The Dad-Feelings Limited, but I did like his pretty prominent role in Murder, She Boat. Didn't like his relationship with Kumiko before, which I'm interesting in seeing Jims talk about, but that episode changed my mind and I'm now fine with it
Yeah.... What's up with that??
Lunch lady Doris is interesting because of what they did after her voice actor’s death. They didn’t retire her really, but she was replaced by other un-named characters.
They actually did retire her for a while.
After season 9's Lisa's Sax (which was a holdover from season 7), she didn't speak again until season 18's The Mook, the Chef and her Homer where she was renamed Lunchlady Dora, and is now voiced by Tress MacNeille. Previously she was voiced by Doris Grau, prior to her death.
I will say that Doris' prominence from season 18 onwards isn't really any different from 3-9, she never appeared that much. I wonder if her being renamed Dora is supposed to imply that Dora and Doris are seperate characters though
@@usermcskull4713 I noticed that her voice changed with the re-appearance, but it's now back to being a facsimile to Doris' performance.
Now we need the story of background characters. How they evolve from a yellow mass with eyes to finally be normal people to then be gods among men.
The evolution from weird old Springfield to golden age Springfield to modern day Springfield would be great!
I say making a video about the evolution of the show’s look in general would make for a good video. Even in this video if you have a good eye you can notice small differences between the style of Season 4 and season 8
That actually would be a pretty clever + interesting dissection
What do you mean i want full details.
I love how such a popular character with mutable appearances was never given a name. I can't think of any favorite jokes with this guy. He's whole vibe and how he does and says everything is just amazong.
Nothing in your comment can possi-bli go wrong
uh, he coment writtes good
i too, find it amazong
I find it borderline elder abuse that we got a video on this guy before we got one for my man Jasper. You will be hearing from MY lawyer, Mr. TheRealJims!
Not making a simpsons histories on Jasper? That's a paddlin'
He only brought a dime. He didn't know there would be Simpsons Histories
@@corgihero259 Beating me to posting the same comment? Oh you better believe that's a paddlin'
Glad I'm not the only one who always found the way he said "Dinner dawg" to be funny.
This channel is incredible. Being a 90s kid, bragging about seeing every episode was a badge of honor in school. This guy gets it.
In one Simpsons comic I read he was named Lawyer Lawyerman and I thought that was his canon name for the longest time
That does sound like a name the modern writers would use, like Lenny Leonard or Carl Carlson.
ngl Lawrence Lawyerman would be funnier
From the first time "You Only Move Twice" premiered I found it strange that he was the second person to say goodbye to the Simpsons after Ned and why he's just there, but on the season 8 DVD release he appears in a deleted scene taking place just before this explaining this oddity.
Let the record show that TheRealJims made the “subscribey, subscribey” motion
The finger thing means the subscribey
Yes! The, “dinna daawwwg” delivery has been stuck in my mind for years!
Keeping with the Law and Order theme do a Historical video on Judge Snyder next. That's a Simpsons character who doesn't get looked into enough.
My brother loves this guy, shout out to my awesome little brother, the #1 blue haired lawyer fan.
Woah how has Ralph not had his own Simpsons History? That has to change!
I love the gay subtext between Blue-Haired Lawyer and Lionel Hutz. Did you know their designer wrote gay manga? ...No, wait, I think I got my crosses wired...
My favourite Blue Haired Lawyer moment was when he revealed 11037 was actually Leon.
@@FryIronicMemeFace "I'm the blackdened!" -Ralph "Ultimate Choo-Chooser" Wiggum
Lol
The biggest loss of the Simpsons comics was that we never got the Lionel Hutz and Blue Haired Lawyer yaoi we all desired
Whenever somebody says the word "lawyer", my mind always thinks of this character.
I think of Legal Eagle for some reason
Can you imagine a world without lawyers...
@@lrrroftheplanetomicronpersei8 **Imagines everyone dancing happily under a rainbow, then cringes.**
i vote for bernice hibbert, dr hibberts wife. not only is she an obscure barely used character, like this series was made for, but i feel like she would be a good way to talk about how the simpsons handles relationship outside of marge and homer.
i remember you once saying in a simpsons history, "the simpsons writers then do their favorite thing, and imply that their marriage is failing." the thing is, i dont remember whether that quote came from your episode on sideshow mel, kent, or helen lovejoy, because they all involve failing marriages. makes me wonder if theres a single happy couple in springfield that arent the simpsons
I'd say the Hibberts are the lucky ones in this case.
I forget what episode, but I remember one joke where she's gloating about how her husband's a doctor. Yeah, I can definitely see this going places.
I second this! She's one of my favourite obscure Simpsons characters
I love that blue haired lawyer is just his name afaik
10:40 his name is “Burn’s Lawyer”
first name: blue haired
last name: lawyer
Gotta get pushing for some Captain McAllister/Sea Captain again. He's always been kind of a weird character who is memorable, but not quite in that elite group despite big pushes to get him there.
If Ralph is on the verge of getting a history then maybe there I'll continue my pick of Allison. But on there it might have a better impact. Come on children characters.
Allison's only really had one major role due to being voiced by a guest star (Lisa's Rival), so idk what there's to talk about since she's mostly a background. character afterwards.
She does have a single line in Lard of the Dance and Skinner's Sense of Snow, ig she appears quite a bit in the former episode, but unfortunately a bit it with her.
I do think it'd be fun seeing Jims talk about these little background appearances though, something cool about Allison in modern Simpsons is that she's often seen with her dad
This is exactly the content I want while I nurse a hangover, thank you!
More Lunchlady Doris videos means more iron!
There's very little history in these gym mats
I love how situational his character. You never see him outside of his suit. Makes you even more curious what he's like out of the job
History of the Tire Fire!
Surprised we don’t know much about this guy except his law career considering he’s been here since season 2.
I just love the way he talks, I find myself saying "Dinner Dawg" in his voice all the time
I love how the writers never gave him an actual name.
Lard Lad Donuts would be an interesting one as a location not tied to a specific character, but always present
The bathroom, to a lot of people, is a very safe space because of the privacy. There's a lot of tropes of people running to bathrooms to get away from uncomfortable situations. It can be quiet in them as well, and there's a lot of people who feel they do their best thinking while on the toilet. That or maybe there's just something weird going on with him, it's hard to tell with The Simpsons sometimes.
The "Burns' Lawyer" name reminds me of how the writers refer to Snake as "Jailbird", despite everyone within the show calling the character "Snake". It used to be the same thing with the "Treehouse of Horror" specials. They used to be called "Simspons Halloween Special"s for years, then for some reason they started using the behind-the-scenes "Treehouse of Horror" title, despite the whole treehouse framing device no longer being present.
“Caarrrr jaackinng? Who said anything about a caaarrrrr jaaacking?” I love the way he says that. He was very unfair to Car Jacker Willie.
I'd totally be interested in a Histories video about Ruth Powers. I feel like she's a bit of a mysterious character, for as much as they put her in background roles throughout the series and as a resident of Evergreen Terrace that we don't get to see too often.
Homie, I can't believe you got 17 minutes out of this guy. Fantastic!
You should make a video similar to "Ralph the Viking" but with Hank Scorpio asking Homer if he's ever seen someone throw a shoe and Homer replying "Yes, once."
God damn this thumbnail! I now can't stop repeatedly saying "Dinnah Daawg" in my head over and over
Lol, same here. It kind of gives you an odd sense of community to think that, at this moment, there may be thousands of people with the words "dinner dawg" running on repeat through their heads.
@@SpectrumofSmarts i’ve been saying it for a couple days and came back to this comments section to find others in my situation 😆
The Real Jims is doing a Blue-Haired Lawyer video? Yuwwaaah!
Yuwa, get me some snacks, this should be good.
simpsons theory: blue haired lawyer is a clone created every time mr. burns needs a lawyer, which is why he never has a name, and after burns is done with him and forgets to dispose of him, he goes on to lawyer for other people which is why he works for any client at different times
Disco Stu would like a simpson's history, too.
love the rhyme! 😅
I loved how in the early seasons he's a foil to Lionel Hutz. He's just great when he's going up against him. I do feel he was used more in later years after Phil Hartman passed. It's nice he got more roles, but it's a bit sad that it came as a result of his death.😊
Blue Haired Lawyer is the Deux Ex Machina that only works 30% of the time.
super accurate description
Would it count as a "screw the audience" joke if we follow the Blue Haired Lawyer for part of an episode, expecting some weird turn or joke, but he's generally just together and normal with no big surprises or insights?
I don't really have a singular favourite moment with this guy, outside of his physical alteration with Skinner. Blue Haired Lawyer has always just been to me as potatoes are to Marge. I just think he's neat.
Wait- that time he prosecuted Troy McClure over the indecent incident at the Aquarium. Troyal of the Century is fantastic.
Would love to keep the "no-name characters" train going with Squeaky Voiced Teen someday soon!
YESSS! I love these deep dive video essays into tertiary or almost side-recurring characters! You'll never find BHL on any toy box or Simpsons lego set, but its fun seeing him in the spotlight.
The way he says "Dzinnah Dzawg" is A1
You'd think the cold would help imitate his voice
I'd love to see Disco Stu next...I love that he appeared to be the payoff for a super random silly gag and just never left.
The secret to saying "dinner dog" like him is adding a slight s-sound while pronouncing the d-sounds: "Dsinner Dsawg"
Ralph is a good character for a history, If not then let's try a different school character, Janey & Uter have had a history so maybe Martin, Allison, Sherri & Terri or even Milhouse. They all sound good if Ralph doesn't get in.
I'd really like Martin! I do think a lot of my friends on the No Homers Club forum would like a Sherri & Terri video because they're surprisingly popular there.
A lot of people on that forum wish the show used them and characterized them more
THE ONE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Blue Hair Lawyer: "Excellent job on the video, loved it! Here's a cede and desist order from the Walt Disney Corporation."
Blue Haired Lawyer had a Miles Edgeworth-like rivalry with Lionel Hutz, so much so that when Hutz died (the Phoenix Wright of the Simpsons universe), he took on the cases Hutz took. And much like when Edgeworth switched sides, he started winning more, but not always...
Anyway, that makes the most sense to me.
I think for the Blue Haired Lawyer character to work effectively, you really needed Lionel Hutz as his rival.
Man whenever that Animal Crossing background music hits it just brings up soft feels even when talking about a soulless demon.
Was just thinking about how a Simpsons History vid would hit the right spot on a lazy saturday, eating bacon & eggs
Lionel Hutz' shining moment was outlawyering the white shoe lawyer
Honestly, I've been waiting for this ever since you mentioned it like years ago in an episode, that you could probably make a good one... He's just such a weird D-List character but every scene he's in he ABSOLUTELY nails.
Probably my favorite NPC in the simpsons if I'm being honest.
Could you imagine if the show was JUST about him? How intense it would be? That guy lives live on Hardcore mode for sure.
All the characters in The Simpsons are NPCs since the show is a not game...
I love the obscurity of the characters you use, brilliant.
Let's get Allison involved in this mix.

The blue hair rizzler
Wonderful video man! Always a treat on a Saturday afternoon.
One small thing I noticed about the Lawyer is that he is one of the few Jewish characters on the show. In a Christmas themed opening (don't recall the season, but I assume mid-20s) he can be seen eating Chinese food in a kippa alongside Dolph (the bully). I assume this is a play on the stereotype that Jews make good lawyers
3:47 Please don't do that ever again
I usually comment on every one of these to do an episode about Lenny and Carl. But honestly, I think this time I want Disco Stu. You broke me, TheRealJims.
that was a good one feel better soon
He's no Lionel huts but he's nevertheless pretty entertaining. I also liked him in The Simpsons guy that Family Guy and the Simpsons crossover episode. I found a way to fit him in there with that lawsuit against Pawtucket Patriot ale
Ralph or Allison, Those are my picks.
I appreciate that I can watch so many episodes in a row and never consciously realize this is a recurring character. Even if it's subconscious, the internal continuity makes the show feel cozy, there I said it. I also love the tidbit that the writers call him something different. I think Blue Haired Lawyer is better because he has his own identity, but in scenes where he isn't Burns' lawyer, it's kind of fun that his name in the script is still "Burns' lawyer." Like even when Mr. Burns isn't around, the reach of his corporate evil is still at work in Springfield....
I hate that I laughed at the “blue haired rizzler” joke
Lunchlady Doris/Dora is an interesting one because of the change of name, but I love Disco Stu. The fact that he originates from a one-off gag, and then became a whole character, is amazing.
Pretty sure they only have the toilet there in case Blue-Haired Lawyer vomits or wants to spit out the rotisserie chicken. Doesn't seem all that strange to me.
Exactly!
This channel is so cool, the peak Simpsons channel.
Is he related to millhouse
Nice Video again. I think its Time for Luigi the Italian Restaurant Owner. He has a lot of Cameo Appearances. Sometimes more sometimes less.
What makes the blue haired lawyer so intriguing is he’s one of the very few competent people in Springfield
BHL also represented the whole of Springfield (mostly Duff) in their suit against Pawtucket Pat in the Family Guy crossover "The Simpsons Guy".
I was very excited to see this video and it didn’t disappoint! This guy is certainly one of my favorite antagonists on the Simpsons. He makes all the court case scenes quite memorable. Truly I really enjoyed the dynamic between him and Lionel Hutz and I feel that it’s a shame that we’ll never get to see that again because of Phil Hartman’s passing but blue haired lawyer lives on and that makes me happy. I like to imagine that if Lionel Hutz is truly gone in Springfield then Blue haired Lawyer as his former nemesis occasionally leaves flowers by his grave. I’m still very eager to see a Jasper video really soon! Also I truly love the stories with blue haired lawyer and Bart Simpson. They make a fun foil for each other which I shouldn’t be surprised by since he’s also voiced by the same person who does Homer as Bart’s dad. Also to put in another suggestion for character histories are we still going to get a Sanjay video? I know that he was first introduced as a side character to support Apu and Apu’s still in a tricky position right now but I feel that Sanjay still deserves his moment to shine! Besides I strongly remember seeing him on one of your suggestions list recently! Please give Sanjay a chance if for no other reason than to give the remaining Apu and Sanjay fans one more special treat amiss the chaos caused by the controversy.
Histories/mysteries are the best things on this channel
i would love to see a Joey JoJo JR Shabadoo History video. its what the ppl need
Was waiting a while for this one, but not as long as I have been for Raphael's history
Just a blind shot in the dark but maybe the toilet is an 'alcoholic lawyer' style joke? When you drink hard to run away from your problems to the point where you vomit on the regular there is something comforting about the toilet. When you're puking up alcohol into a toilet that is the only problem you're currently presented with instead of whatever you're drinking to escape. The toilet isn't an enemy in that moment, either, it is supportive and helpful. Maybe Blue-Haired Lawyer has spent many a night after losing to Lionel Hutz embracing the porcelain throne.
I always found Sanjay to be perhaps the single most forgettable recurring character in those classic seasons, so I’d love to see a Simpsons Histories going into his lore. With how little Sanjay lore there is though, a video on the extended Nahasapeemapetilon family could be really interesting!
Krusty, have you ever seen this so-called amination genius before?
I Think the Blue-Haired Lawyer is a Brilliant Character in Representing and Satirising the Perspective of a Contemporary Cynic who Thinks that THOSE Lawyers are Corporate Bootlickers of Capitalist Overlords and [they] are Opportunists who are Smug and Sly waiting to be the Vulture and Loophole-Exploiter, While also Bailing when things don't go their way and Bailing when things go Wrong While [the Lawyer] also being the one to be Involved in the Situation, that's why I Think this is a Contemporary Cynic's Perspective.
And I Actually find it Fascinating to Dissect from this Video.
Thank you for this Brilliant Piece of Work of yours, I Wish to see more from this Character and getting more In-Depth Nuances to this Character and see what's going on in this Personal Life or anything Similar, as well as Looking Deep into how he Ticks and see Fallacies in this Character like seeing his Crimes and Past Sins.
That would be Amazing to see more about him!
Im casting a vote for mister Largo, i've always got the sense i missed something about him, he certainly had alot of character
Disco Stu,
Needs a video by you!
Alright!
I'm just glad to see that the Human Flu turned his life around and got his law degree after trying to pull a stunt on the same day The Be Sharps played Moe's Tavern
ive been waiting for this guy, hell yea!
honestly next id recommend willie, he's a very major character in comparison to the last 2 you've covered
Maybe an odd favourite moment but I love the moment in that 3 part story episode where he’s like representing Disney but is there for a manicure and it’s revealed he’s got these huge talons. It makes me laugh every time and I don’t know why both my parents were lawyers(though in this country they were called solicitors….which I know in America means….well something very different). I think it’s that blue haired lawyer reminds me of how my mother and father acted in their professional lives vs how I knew them 90% of the time(since I’d sometimes be in the room for their work as a witness for wills, man I hated doing that since it was always a with people who looked very close to the end of their days which was sad, seeing as I’d hear their last messages to their loved ones too….and no I didn’t get paid, I was just brought in as a witness so I’m glad I never have to do that again) and the claws thing just made me remember how most people see the work of lawyers despite how much I know my mother and father were and are both caring people(even if my father and I are no longer on good terms with one another).
would love to one day see a video on arnie pye in the sky, esp with all the bickering he does with kent brockman
great video as always!
I vote for Comic Book Guy. Not only is he the stand-in character for audience-related meta jokes, jokes about Nerd Culture (and fat jokes) in General and actually received some character development/progression in later seasons, but I also can relates with him the most: fat, obnoxiously sacrastic, chronicly online Nerd with a medicore career, he his basicly every youtuber commenter/redditor personified.
Great video as always! Mr. Largo is one of those characters I always forget about. I’d like to see you cover him next.
