*This episode, clearly shows how much a misunderstanding can end a person's life. And it also shows how much the media can magnify and manipulate what actually happened. And especially when it causes collective fear. This episode shows that this continues to this day!*
***** To be fair, whilst most post-S10 Simpsons is pretty subpar, that Lady Gaga episode is commonly agreed to be the absolute *worst* (or at least among the absolute worst), even including fans of modern Simpsons. On IMDB, it ranks an average of 4.5/10. No other Simpsons episode even cracks below 5. Not counting clip show episodes, the second-worst ranked episode was the one about Moe's cleaning rag, and that was a 5.8.
***** Holy shit. To truly put how bad Lisa Goes Gaga was rated, the Family Guy episode where Brian gets killed off (the worst ranked FG) is at a 4.1. Just barely below Lisa Goes Gaga. Doing more searching, LGG often gets a mention whenever there's some sort of discussion of "worst episodes of shows".
WarPaint 47 Not to mention, Kent Brockman's saying that there's no way to see inside the Simpsons' home, yet they're clearly visible through the window. XD

It's a shame that this satirical parody has actually become the truth. These days when you commit any crime, social media and the actual media are the judge, jury and executioner regardless of the evidence. And if a court says otherwise people just complain it's corrupt.
the lies of the boston massacre engraving did more damage than any british aggression ever could, not to forget its depiction of Crispus Attucks (sp?) who was the first? victim of "whitewashing" in the history of US media.

Hell we still allow an international terrorist/mass murderer to live comfortably in our country while waging a war on terror o.o

The 1990s was the decade in which the discourse around sexual harassment took off, triggered in part by the Clarence Thomas scandal resulting from Anita Hill telling Congress how he routinely harassed her. #MeToo is an echo of this.

Yes it certainly does. People get false accusations all the time now and they are vilified before the truth is reveals. Our SJW culture today as well is guilty of that, vilifying and distorting everything today. So yeah, it is.
Or more likely, the world has set the bar down so low, that a show like The Simpsons can now be hailed as the modern day Nostradamus, because of how easy to anticipate the idiocy is.
None of this happened. That's the joke-- they're explaining how the media lies and embellishes stories to make them more provocative. To take something like driving the babysitter home and turn it into this. This season cam out in '94 or '95 and it's still relevant today, if not more.

Gentle reminder that the modern crew running the Simpsons would NEVER write this or green-light this episode EVER.
True. They're all neutered SJWs now.
@@BlackWingedSeraphX So why didn't you ask someone to fire them?
Who watches modern Simpsons in 2020 though.
These anti sjws are like roaches. they are everywhere and not good to look at. "eVErEthiNg SeNSoreD" "sNOwFlAkEs" .... while family guy casually show hyper realistic rape scene that make rape victims horrified like it's nothing and did it cancelled becaue of it? Anti SJWs are SJW of their own standard and that standard sucks and outdated(and not funny anymore)
Because they are exactly the kinds of people this was aimed at. They care more about propaganda than comedy or storytelling
Can we just appreciate how Dennis Franz sounded like he was having the time of his life in the recording booth?
From what I heard, he was a blast to work with, and always got along with his costars so it would make sense that he was having a ball doing this episode.
Is he the guy who played the movie version of Homer.
@@byronsenior6499 indeed
He’s played a lot of bad guys, I’m sure he was happy to cut loose and get some laughs doing it
@@chrisw6164 Didn't he also play one of the main detectives on "NYPD Blue" or something?
*This episode, clearly shows how much a misunderstanding can end a person's life. And it also shows how much the media can magnify and manipulate what actually happened. And especially when it causes collective fear. This episode shows that this continues to this day!*

it's sad that The Simpsons now will never be as funny as the 3 minutes of pure gold here
old simpsons was spot on and had scruples. simpsons has been shit for a while.
Simpsons has been shit for longer than it's been good.
Yeah. Let _that_ sink in.
***** To be fair, whilst most post-S10 Simpsons is pretty subpar, that Lady Gaga episode is commonly agreed to be the absolute *worst* (or at least among the absolute worst), even including fans of modern Simpsons.
On IMDB, it ranks an average of 4.5/10. No other Simpsons episode even cracks below 5. Not counting clip show episodes, the second-worst ranked episode was the one about Moe's cleaning rag, and that was a 5.8.
***** Holy shit. To truly put how bad Lisa Goes Gaga was rated, the Family Guy episode where Brian gets killed off (the worst ranked FG) is at a 4.1. Just barely below Lisa Goes Gaga.
Doing more searching, LGG often gets a mention whenever there's some sort of discussion of "worst episodes of shows".
Like a Site-com that usually spans one decade. The Simpsons should of ended after the 90's
*HES LITERALLY STEWING IN HIS OWN JUICES!!!*
+SongBird 36 LOL and on top of that Homer has got his head in his hands with Marge comforting him. Little things like that.. rofl
WarPaint 47 Not to mention, Kent Brockman's saying that there's no way to see inside the Simpsons' home, yet they're clearly visible through the window. XD
+YamatoFukkatsu Congrats, weeaboo; you've figured out a very simple and obvious joke.

*Watching the Simpsons in your childhood: Silly and fun. Watching the Simpsons in your 30s: like rereading a great novel, that's described your world*

Since I got Disney+, I have revisted many older episodes. Your post is 100% on the money. I am thinking about going back and watching it from the beginning.

Legit
girl don exaggerate, don´t insult great novels with this
I can't believe it, Simpsons predicted "man or bear" thing
Simpsons knew what they were saying. We are living in satire land 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but it's actually hell and bigoted 🥲
The Simpsons even summarised cancel culture.
Cancle culture is nothing new.
Eric Tripps yeah but now is stronger than ever.
@@diec1290 Did you forget about the Red Scare? People were deported, blacklisted, lost their visas, connections, freedom, friends, family and sometimes their life if they were falsely accused of Communism. Tens of thousands of Americans lost their jobs.
@@erictripps125 He never said it was new. He said they summarized it.
Sorry but that doesn't exist.
The look of that lady who wanted to ask a question when Ben was about to fall on the crowd gets me cracking every time! XD
Richard Hannay hahaha! Yeah, that's always my favorite part was their reaction when he fell on them
Richard Hannay lol
Me too i just lose it when the man comes out and says Ben No! Then Ben just smacks him the hell out of the screen.
It's a shame that this satirical parody has actually become the truth. These days when you commit any crime, social media and the actual media are the judge, jury and executioner regardless of the evidence. And if a court says otherwise people just complain it's corrupt.
Considering the American Revolution gained steam with Paul Reveres' engraved lies id say its always been that way.
the lies of the boston massacre engraving did more damage than any british aggression ever could, not to forget its depiction of Crispus Attucks (sp?) who was the first? victim of "whitewashing" in the history of US media. Im American btw im just not going to deny our history wasnt "shady" at times. Hell we still allow an international terrorist/mass murderer to live comfortably in our country while waging a war on terror o.o
Yeah, it's always been that way. Just now it's on a different medium with the internet
You don't even have to commit a crime. Just be politically incorrect and a few countries could hate you.
It's indeed depressing that nowadays celebrities with their barely gotten high school diplomas feel important enough to opine politically and have so much arrogance that we should vote according to their ideology or else they will leave the country as if it's a big deal if we lose George fucking Clooney to Canada.
Dennis Franz was having the time of his life in the booth LOL He's in the episode for maybe 30 seconds but he's still one of the most memorable guest stars for me because you can tell he's having so much fun.
"hahaha, the man in the white house!? hahaha, Not likely! hahahahaaaa!"
Just wanna grab me something SWEET.
I don't care.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
No Mr. Simpson, a cat is a living creature
I don’t care
From what I remember in the german version she sounded like a man copying a woman's voice
Back when I was younger I’d probably say I don’t care either because I wasn’t a fan of cats since I had bad experiences with them, I have mellowed over time and have had some good experiences lately 🤣
brooke houts and dogs 😡

With a man in the white house!?
His body temperature has risen to over 400°, He's literally stewing in his own juices..
This is one of many simpsons episodes that were ahead of their time
Always the present
Uh no you just suffer from recency bias. These social commentaries applied back then to now.
@@ishmael802 yeah I’m not denying that it wasn’t around back then but it’s more prominent now days
@@adamgriffith-smith9106 No it’s not, because people didn’t question what they saw on media or nearly as much back then.
The 1990s was the decade in which the discourse around sexual harassment took off, triggered in part by the Clarence Thomas scandal resulting from Anita Hill telling Congress how he routinely harassed her. #MeToo is an echo of this.
I like how they put an entire feature film together in the space of a few days.
Some shows aren't as great when you go and watch them again, but the Simpsons gets greater.
Forward Synthesis I
I would say about equally great, but it was considered godlike in its time so that's no loss.
Forward Synthesis No Ben, NO!!!
Forward Synthesis simpsons gets greater? Not sure if joking or srlsy. After season 12 the show was getting worse and worse.
Matlock Mat I'm pretty sure he meant the old episodes gets greater when you go back and watch them again.
If I'd meet a real life space alien, and they asked me for a good representation of human culture, I'd suggest them to watch an hour of the Simpsons.
Each episode is about 25-30 mins long. Assuming they don't take breaks or take their time taking notes in some way Shape or form, they would only be able to watch 2 episodes. The main question now would be what episodes do you show them?
They can watch three episodes in one hour. My three would be:
- "Bart Gets an F"
- "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"
- "Mother Simpson"
More like American In-Culture
Nigga you trying to get us killed?
If I had the option for 3
-Life on The Fast Lane
-Cape Feare
-Boy Scouts In Da Hood
No, Ben, NO!
I say this to my housemate Ben all the time. Never gets old
No rulo, no hagas eso

''No, Ben! No!''

And the fact that they had an armed response team ready to go with "Ben Control" on their backs:)

it's even more hilarious that they thought scolding a wild bear would prevent him from feeding on food readily available to him.

Did we ignore it

Can they ever return to form?
'It's ok, your tears say more than *real evidence ever could'*
Aged like fine wine and seems to become how people actually think more and more everyday, absolutely sad

grab them by the p
no means yes! Now get me that sweet! >:P
Alex Cee Trump Approves.
It's one of the best episodes for sure.
No Mr John Taylor, a Simpson episode today is still made by living creatures!
This episode shows us the culture we have today.
Pretty scary.
This was the culture then as well, which is why the joke exists.
hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men and weak men create hard times.
Pixar The Great no it doesn't
Yes it certainly does. People get false accusations all the time now and they are vilified before the truth is reveals. Our SJW culture today as well is guilty of that, vilifying and distorting everything today.
So yeah, it is.
No Ben, NO!
*SWIPE*
So simpsons did 'a bear or a man, what do women want' before anyone could have predicted it
So unbelievably accurate in 2018.
@ truth
@ only 5-8% of them. Most are actually Protestant whites lives in wall street or in rich urbanized SouthWest California.
As unbelievable as that beard

Possibly the cat was harrassed. LOL
"Your tears say more than real evidence ever could". No words have ever been truer.

“No Ben No”

"No Mr Simpson, a cat is a living creature!"
"I don't care!"
*m e o w*
Aah... I love that bit so much :')
Should have said and so are we
Lol
It's getting kinda disturbing how the Simpsons keep predicting the future
You were not alive in the 1990s.
Dude, these kinds of things happened before this episode.
Go back and watch the Clarence Thomas hearings which occurred before this episode aired.
It wasn't the future - it's been reality for decades.
Or more likely, the world has set the bar down so low, that a show like The Simpsons can now be hailed as the modern day Nostradamus, because of how easy to anticipate the idiocy is.
"Ben I have a question?" "No Ben, No." Ben Control. "Roar"
Gentle Ben was actually a TV series in the late 1960's. It wasn't a talk show or anything ridiculous like that but it was about a bear.
I love how they added Homer running over a cat which never happened! 😂😂
None of this happened. That's the joke-- they're explaining how the media lies and embellishes stories to make them more provocative. To take something like driving the babysitter home and turn it into this.
This season cam out in '94 or '95 and it's still relevant today, if not more.
"Your tears say more than real evidence ever could."
Wow - something chillingly prophetic about that line. This is exactly the kind of world we live in, 24 years after this episode aired...
oof
@@fantasyEXX cancel culture, metoo has been going on since 60s?
Nothing prophetic about it. People were like that back then, is like that now and most certainly will keep going.
Perfectly encapsulating Dylan Farrow's accusation of Woody Allen
Though you all say this, I bet if I point out this happened to Brett Kavanaugh suddenly half of you will say it doesn't exist
That's 3 whole minutes of no plot progression, just random bits of television relating to the main story in some vague way.
God, it's so good!
It's thematic! It's progressing the themes!
Too much wikipedia for the kiddos
"Your tears say more than real evidence could" so true nowadays.
Including with women making false reports and exaggerations and gamers that use the SWAT team on other gamers.
Or, rather, it has always been this reality
@@okamijubei I think that was the point of Wallace’s comments
One of the greatest Simpsons episodes of all time in my opinion. Still cracks me up to this day.
Gentle Ben is so classic.
Toby Licious it’s absolutely hilarious. Bear just goes for food 😂
Really glad I grew up in the 90's.
@@dezertfox3681 I'm pretty sure it has to do with 9/11 and the war in the middle east which is why there is a radical shift in political strife amongst ourselves. Corrupt people are playing both sides which is why I think there has been a devolution in our culture. That plus the global mainstream connection we've transitioned into through the internet, now we get to hear from every country like the EU that they are better then us and hate our backward society, the far left agrees with them and thus play both sides in our politics but I digress. I'm not even that old in my late 20's but I definitely would have not been the same person in this present climate.
@@dezertfox3681 We will lose the country if the radical Democrats/Democrats are not defeated and remain to have a strangle hold on the country ruling through the monopoly on public opinion through media, public influencers/figures and through academic elitism, I know that for sure.

Media gaslighting
This episode was definitely a major commentary on the whole concept of trial by media and just how unreliable what you see on the news can be.
I laughed when Kent said "Whether it was harassed or not, we don't know"
2:30 they just took footage of a man so broken he was reduced to tears in front of his children, and managed to make me laugh without feeling bad.
That's partly the magic of old-school "Simpsons." The perfect mix of comedy and faux-tragedy.
Elizabeth Lingurar i didn't noticed at first :o

Gentle Ben is like a TV show straight out of interdimensional cable.
the best 3 minutes of comedy in the history of tv
The more time that passes, the more these classic Simpson episodes become even more relevant.
When The Simpsons had 30 jokes in under 3 minutes.
This is one of my favorite episodes it’s so good.
This humble three-minute sequence has more endlessly-quotable jokes and rib busting laughs in it than the last 20 years of the so-called Simpsons.

"Your tears say more than real evidence ever could."
Whew.
Jesus the Simpsons used to have the Best writers on television.
Yes, unfortunately the modern Simpsons doesn't carry this timeless social and political criticism anymore. Nowadays it is just jumping on the next forgetable trend as topic.
Including Conan O'Brien who was a writer on the show from 1991-1993.
Bc a bunch of them went to Harvard. Idk how Groening or Fox convinced these guys to work on this show but they just killed it. Timeless.
The guy who wrote this created The Office!
"Footage shows Marge letting the cat out...possibly because it was harrased...we just don't know yet."
What about when they thought the turkey in the oven was Homer?
@@mushroomhead3619 despite that Homer is clearly in the living room with his family watching TV during that moment.
“When Marge Simpson put the cat out. It could be harassed, we don’t know.”....does Kent work at Fox or CNN?
Yes.
the made for tv movie literally is based on the for tv specials Fox used to have on, and the show that did the expose on him where they edited his lines to make I’m look guilty was also based on a fox show
CNN
@@mckenzie.latham91 20 years ago this was spoofing Fox but today CNN is even more notorious for this kind of behavior.
