If my memories are correct, Marge Simpson (born Bouvier) is of French origin. So, with her blue hairstyle, Selma's blond hair, and Patty's red hair, it's a perfect wink to the French flag. Everything is linked. XD
i think the best gag in this episode is bart, maggie and lisa finally questioning their own apperance , partcularly where their airline starts. i'm surprised it took 20 yrs to for someone to mention that.
There was an episode where homer shaves and in just seconds his 5-oclock shadow returns. Given that Patty and Selma smoke whenever possible I presume that's how quickly their hair will change back.
It's an interesting little nod. Way back in one of the earlier seasons Reverand Lovejoy's wife is gossiping and mentions that she heard that Marge's hair is dyed and she was actually "gray as a mule".
The Olson twins are also fraternal but look very much alike. But yes, them not being identical twins is surprising, and I wonder if that's canon. Edit: Read the next two comment in this thread for corrections/context.
It's actually possible for identical twins to have different hair colors. It's rare, but it happens. Identical twins have the same genotype, but express different phenotypes. Occasionally, this manifests as different hair color, eye color, height, etc. Identical twins are never perfectly identical, but some are less identical than others.
@@vulcanhumor I didn't know about it being possible that identical twins have different hair colours, but it sounds logical given firstly, what you write here and secondly, what other things I know about identical twins. It's for example possible (or even the rule, I'm not sure) for them to be the mirror image of each other. Which apparently results in things like both having the same birthmark on their forehead, but on opposite sides.
Don't forget the episode where Homer set up more than enough smoke detectors all over the house! He used the car remote to operate them, and after hearing Patty's plea, he sent her and Selma to the Springfield Dog Track!
"So, what does your husband, Vidal Baboon, think of your new look?" ROFLMAO! Usually Patty and Selma's insults are just mean, but that one was actually really funny and clever!
@@JRS0633 years, things change. Humor changes. Sensibilities change. I don't like it either but it would be irrational to think the humor wouldn't change after three decades.
In the episode where Homer dropped them off at the Springfield Dog Track with all the other smokers, Patty told Selma: "Who needs Paris?" This is our City of Lights!"
I remember in the first season of the show, Patty's hair had more of a violet color, while Selma's was gray. This was also the case in the Simpsons Comics.
Still interesting how this happened at the same time there was that misunderstanding with Homer being a wingman, so the gray hair was like a contribution to her lashing out until she learned the truth
Soo.. is no one gonna talk about the fact that Selma an patty had enough smoke an ash in there hair from years of smoking that it caused a plane to crash...
LOL, Well, they've been smoking they were kids. In Marge's flashback about earning money, they had sweet girly voices then once they hit the sin sticks, all that changed!
I saw that flashback, and I heard Patty and Selma having "slight" raspiness in their voices BEFORE they took up smoking! After their voices changed, they didn't sound human!
Hair dye or no hair dye, I always thought Patty and Selma were either fraternal twins or identical twins with their own individual choices of hairstyles, aside from having the same voice. As for Marge, I know she had more than one hair color during her own life.
That’s a major inconsistency when we’ve seen their hair light purple in all their childhood flashbacks. But at this point, do the current writers even care about continuity anymore?
@@sarahpanther they did start smoking young. There's a flashback with little Marge working for her light up oven where Patty and Selma are smoking on their beds
Comedy cartoons rarely have much continuity, if any, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. If there's no overarching story tiny details don't matter. Just laugh at the joke.
"Finally, I can tell them apart; not that I care" - Homer
Well, let's just say he hates Selma less.
Im pretty sure Patty has the rounder hair, whereas Selma has the weird triangles.
my trick is: Selma is Straight. Patty likes Pussy.
@@Hulk2k6 and in turn Selma hates him less than Patty does. Not that it's saying much.
It's pretty interesting that their dresses match their sexualities once you really think about it.

Smoke and ash? So they clearly never wash their hair
There was an episode where homer shaves and in just seconds his 5-oclock shadow returns. Given that Patty and Selma smoke whenever possible I presume that's how quickly their hair will change back.
They do, but they're chain smokers.
Killian Moore actually is smoke and ash of the cigarettes they smoke
No actually in one episode we see Patty leave the shower while she has quit smoking so it's clearly a non canon joke
They do but after they dry their hair they smoke like chimneys like usual 😛😛😛😛
I never thought Patty and Selma went gray. I thought their hair was purple
Same 😂
I thought their hair color came from being chain-smokers!
Faded purple; so, basically, they're greying.
Me too, it looks like a gray purple to me.
I just assumed that was a smoking joke
Patty and Selma actually look better this way. They don't even look old.
Without cigarettes, they'd look younger in general.
I couldn’t agree more!
@@lucasmartinez5703 they'd sound younger too

You can say that again.
Smoking can cause premature aging, and their gravelly voices are proof of that!

why is no one talking about how their natural hair colors are primary colors
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Primary colors of pigment*
I don’t get it
I now see that
It's the french flag
It's the little throat vocalizations that kill me. It's like a secret Bouvier code
I think gravelly voices runs on their mother's side of the family, aside from excessively heavy chain-smoking!
They just killed a pilot cleaning their hair! THAT’S how you know smoking is dangerous to the environment!
Don't forget the episode where Homer set up more than enough smoke detectors all over the house! He used the car remote to operate them, and after hearing Patty's plea, he sent her and Selma to the Springfield Dog Track!
@@LisaKoffler Then they went into the bathroom to smoke and caused an explosion because the nearby fracking was putting natural gas into the water.
I think it's interesting how blue is a common natural hair color in Springfield.
Must be all the radiation
And cartoon logic.
Yellow skin is also common...
I guess Matt Groening has a thing for blue hair.

Listening to them laugh never gets old to me!

What's funnier is that Marge is their sister and she had no idea herself that their hair was that color just because of their smoking. XD
"So, what does your husband, Vidal Baboon, think of your new look?"
ROFLMAO!
Usually Patty and Selma's insults are just mean, but that one was actually really funny and clever!

Thanks.
Júlia Boix I always remember who patty is because she sort of looks like the letter P. Never noticed the pink clothes 😅 but that's even better
+PrincessRuto08 I remember that Patty's hair is round, like a burger patty, and Selma's hair forms the letter M like in her nams
Camilla Scanlon huh?
...Well that's one hell of an eye opener.
If Marge's hair was still blue we would have all three primary colors.
One of the newer episodes that felt like it came straight out out of the classic era. LOVE IT!!!
@Brian Peterson It's still a post-golden age Simpsons episode.
Even if the show's gone downhill, it still has its moments
Not bad for a show that’s been running for thirty three years though.
Law of averages.
The show is still good, but suffers from moderisation, unfunny jokes, and cancel culture turning this show into the very thing it was a satire of.

The drain pipes would get clogged with all that cigarette smoke!
i love the grunt that they do :)
so satisfying yes
Me too
I don't! After they took up smoking as kids, their voices didn't sound human!
0:12
This is one of the funniest moments of all the series and they say new seasons are boring
"Your hair committed blueicide" LOL
Selma's a blonde? Least now we know what side the kids got it from.
Who needs bombs? There's enough smoke in their hair to destroy a Beamos.
Cool Zelda reference! (I'm being serious.)
In the episode where Homer dropped them off at the Springfield Dog Track with all the other smokers, Patty told Selma: "Who needs Paris?" This is our City of Lights!"
Patty and Selma are the ultimate trolls. I've gotten to love them more as I got older 🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's a comment on another TH-cam video saying they were never pretty!
@@LisaKofflerWhat does that have to do with their comment?
yukononun, more than you think!
Patty's dress has sleeves, Selma's is sleeveless and Marge's is strapless
"So it's true, your hair committed blu-icide"
💀💀
Love their unison grunts
It's one of the side effects of excessively heavy chain-smoking!
Feels like there should have been a "oh God why" from the pilot.
That would've made this scene more funnier
They weren't paying attention to the explosion!
Blue-icide, I get it
LT Coyt yeah, it's pretty funny.
And I thought it was “blue aside”.
What's weird about that is Marge's hair isn't naturally blue; she dyes it. Obviously, like most animated shows, there's no continuity.
WT*. That's so ******* daft. It would be her black in real life
Worst suicide joke ever
"Fidel Baboon" oh mans, that cracks me up 😂👍
Love their raspy voices and grunting mmmm
They sound like gravel rumbling down a steel chute!
the plane going down was an overkill
:D
😨 completely
Yeah for the pilot XD
XD
BlueJWay999 piss off, that part was the icing on the cake!
I remember in the first season of the show, Patty's hair had more of a violet color, while Selma's was gray. This was also the case in the Simpsons Comics.
Patty and Selma look way better with their natural hair color! RIP that poor pilot though. 😂
Not the passengers?
Maybe it was a drone.
We'll never know who or what was on that plane! If it was a drone without people in it, then that's NOT as bad!
Just remember Homer might be an idiot but he's loyal.
I never thought their hair was grey till this conversation
Selma can be very nice to Homer
u mean gray?
maybe; check out 'tragedy of Selma'-
Selma is the older twin, and she made more of an effort to get along with Homer.
Okay, the fact the neither of them have blue hair gives me questions.
Selma‘s blonde and Patty ‘s a redhead!
So they have smoke and ash in their hair the whole time. I can't imagine sleeping with hair covered in smoke and ash 🛌 💨
This was such a plot twist
Lol, what a plot hole, we see Patty and Selma with that same purple hair when they were kids, before they smoked.
Clancy was a heavy smoker. Maybe they got their hair color from his smoking ashes.
An actually good joke from a modern Simpson episode. A truly rare sight to behold.
So selma's blonde, I guess that means bart and lisa get their hair color from that side
Still interesting how this happened at the same time there was that misunderstanding with Homer being a wingman, so the gray hair was like a contribution to her lashing out until she learned the truth
So much of that smoke and ash is enough to take down 5 planes, 2 bombers, 9 helicopters, and a small mutant crow.
Didn't Homer mention it in season 5 or 6 that Marge natural hair was Gray from the time she was 17
Yes. The episode where Homer teaches marriage counseling and tells them that Marge dyes her hair
Uh... I think I liked it better when it was purple.
Yes
+Kyle Stubbs Ditto
Probably because that is literally the only colour we've seen it in the entire series
Well Marge says it's grey even it's purple. They had it since they were kids so I don't know why Marge thinks they went grey too.
I think it works for the joke since that means the Bouvier sisters have primary colored hair.
Selma and Patty just casually caused a plane to crash and likely a casualty, but don't care at all or even appear to notice.
Selma and Patty still have gray hair in a childhood flashback
Even as kids they were smokers.
Yes, they were chain-smokers for MOST of their lives!
Patty = Red Hair 👩🦰
Selma = Blonde Hair 👱♀️
a red and blond!? Now I've seen everything
that airplane get me.
Soo.. is no one gonna talk about the fact that Selma an patty had enough smoke an ash in there hair from years of smoking that it caused a plane to crash...
We're doing just that!
Considering how both of their parents have blue hair, I can't help but scratch my head.
So they're fraternal twins.
155chipmunkz Identical
Fraternal or identical, they still have the same voice.
If they kept their hair clean, they might lure more men closer to begin with.
oookkkkay i will see the twins never in the same light again. i think i am just used to see them i purple hair
Comic Book Guy just sitting there, looking pissed off (probably at something online) is a great addition to the scene.
LOL, Well, they've been smoking they were kids. In Marge's flashback about earning money, they had sweet girly voices then once they hit the sin sticks, all that changed!

I thought they were supposed to be identical.
So did their parents smoke? Cuz they've had purple hair since childhood
I like that they’re all shades of the three primary colors. 😂

Probably. But then they smoke so much, a new coat would probably form like 5 minutes later 😂
Bold of you to assume they shower
Yet they had dark the purple hair as children before they enslaved marge and took up smoking.
