      But it doesn't make sense from a grammar point of view. In german we would use the masculine article and say "der Bart, der", for Bart is masculine. "die Bart, die" would imply him being a girl. Just saying, funny anyhow.

      I watched an episode of "How It's Made" about peanut butter and it had this music accompanying the segment. I made a stupid comment like:
      ----
      "Yo, Jimmy! Gimme summa dat sweet " Peanut Music!"
      "You got it, boss."
      *Plays this music*
      ----
      IDK why but thousands of people liked it and commented in agreement.
      My point is: sometimes you just know something without being able to explain it, and know that other people will understand what you mean, without ever interacting with them.
      And having never met you, I understand exactly what "nerrugherrugh" meant. That is definitely how you spell it. I wouldn't have written it any different. That spelling is total 'peanut music.'

    “The Bob Next Door” was actually the first exposure I had to the character, and it’s interesting how it kind of reboots Sideshow Bob, focusing on his relationship with Bart apart from his extended family, or even Krusty to some extent. I could tell that there was a lot of history to the character, and while I was a little lost, that’s what made the character intriguing to me. Nowadays, I’m always happy to see him return, but I agree with the sentiment that his story more or less ended in Season 8.

    A little sad that you didn't mention the Simpsons Ride at the Universal Studios Parks, since they pretty much wrote the ride to be a Sideshow episode and having the ride plot around him. Kinda makes sense when you think that it originally was suppost to be a "Power Plant" theme ride, but they had to change it when Harry Shearer didn't accept the contract, but still. The Simpsons only have one Theme park Ride and they made sure to Include Bob and Kelsey Grammer's Perfomance on it center and focus and I find that very interesting and worth discussing.

    I think the trouble with later Sideshow Bob is that there's potential there, but it's buried under the ramped up wackiness. The earlier seasons were good at balancing the tonal differences between seasons with the main point of the story, but the later episodes tend to get too invested in one side which means the actual plot tends to wander off and ends up unsatisfying and just weird rather than funny.

I kinda want to check that Bob-Lisa episode out, they seem like they would have chemistry with one another when each of them loves being the smartest person in the room. Black Widower has got to be my favorite Bob episode just because we get all the threatening plans and mystery of Bob without some of the cartoonishness that debuted in Cape Feare.

    Funeral for a fiend is actually great, imo.
    Bob was such a manipulator that he made Bart look like the bad guy and him as a guy who did nothing wrong in front of all Springfield. This is actually a pretty clever commentary on the manipulation of the masses and in the end even Bart started feeling guilty, out of peer pressure.
    Then we got one of the most chilling one liners in the show.
    m.th-cam.com/video/KlivA1ExIEA/w-d-xo.html
    Bart: Now everyone wants me to be in that coffin instead of you!
    Bob(slowly opens the coffin): Then lets give the people... WHAT THEY WANT!!!
    Call me edgy, but sideshow bob episodes need to have a dark atmosphere like Cape Feare. Its kinda like the invader zim in the simpsons. A goofy show suddently becomes surprisingly dark and serious out of nowhere in a way it makes sense, while still having goofy moments here and there.

    I'll be honest:
    I think Sideshow Bob has an almost perfect record of episodes.
    I even like The Italian Bob, and I hate travel episodes.
    I admit that in the HD era it started getting spotty. There was an episode revolving around genetic manipulation that was all sorts of stupid and even one of my favorite characters couldn't save that one.
    It's kinda amusing.
    Krusty the Klown and Sideshow Bob are kinda tied to the nr 1 spot of my favorite Simpsons characters.
    It's funny that the two characters I love most are so closely related.
    So about The Bob Next Door:

    I've been watching your videos a while now, love them lots. keep them up dude. I'm from Cambridge, England. Please do a few more post season 10 episodes, we all know they are not as good, but I think there are some fantastic hidden gems. I have a top ten myself that are as good as any season 1-9 episode

    I was thinking about if you had made a Sideshow Bob Simpsons Histories yesterday another amazing video like always love this series and your videos keep up the great work :) also, I agree Shelbyville would be a good topic for this series.

    Kelsey Grammer quoted "Well, Lisa, you don't spend ten years as a homicidal maniac without learning a thing or two about dynamite." as being his favorite Sideshow Bob line in an interview on Conan.
    Also, with regard to the timeline, does this imply that he was a homicidal maniac before meeting Bart? Or did he just misquote the line? Haven't watched the episode in a while.

      it might be like his joke in the tree house of horror episode about how it took 23 years to kill a 10 year old. it's just a joke about how long the show has been on.
