Basically, this episode demonstrates how the improvements in the company were only due to Homer being switched from a ground work job into an executive job. Which ultimately means that executives do nothing and get all of the credit. Genius.
Also the reason his life changed was his aesthetics, and no one even realized that's why they treated him differently. People assume that your work ethic and people skills are what nets you a better life, but statistically having a full head of hair and being taller than average both increase your chances of higher pay and a higher position. Nearly every US president has had a full head of hair. Average male CEO height is well above control, and personally when I was younger after I spent a couple years in the gym and was very fit and strong, the difference in how people treated me was astounding. I was still shy, awkward and self conscious, but it was seen as mysterious and reserved instead of pathetic or creepy. Gifts, food, invites, favors, holding the door, etc. It just kinda taught me that we're still animals and regardless of what we think, we still respond to the health and fitness of each other.
@@GrandmasterofWin And that's also why women like tall men. Not because of the bullshit excuse "It reminds me of my father." Yes, people really are that shallow.
@@edwardgaines6561amazingly, they didn't even need the full 22 minutes of runtime to do so as that final goodbye occurs at only 16 minutes into the episode!
Karl's right up there with Hank Scorpio as one of the best random one-off characters. Edit: spelling not to be confused with Carl (Carlson), thanks @ツAcidicAli777
A testament to the density, and quality, of jokes and story. Excellent writing is making the most of every line, the highest amount of digestible information can be given in the short amount of time.
Carl evokes a good feeling. Add that to the writing and seeing Homer happy with hair makes you to get hooked on the writing when Homer is going to get discovered and all that. Great episode. It inspired me to be more of a Carl
The loss in humanity was partially due to James Brooks leaving. He was all for the jokes, but he thought the dramatic human element was essential. Later seasons did not conform to his vision
There is a german sitcom about an aunt always yelling at her niece because of all the bullshit she does all the time, it is a lot better: th-cam.com/video/UyZoRtrvJMU/w-d-xo.html
Hank Scorpio* But Karl is a close second, with Frank Grimes rounding it out in third. Just imagine how much more powerful Scorpio and Homer could have been if Karl was there with them, helping them get that power plant operational so they could take over the East Coast. Homer definitely would have become owner of the Dallas Cowboys in that scenario.
@@JanetStarChild what part of the Bible suggests any of that name the scripture and verse then come back at me. All I know is that my saviour died on a tree and rose again for me and Jesus lives in me
Karl was more than just a man with a deep, gravelly voice, and a nice suit - he was a true paladin in a suit. He took Homer under his wing and helped reshape him into a person with integrity and confidence, and stood by his side all the way to the end. The best friend Homer Simpson has ever had.
Carl is the best friend Homer ever got in his whole season episodes. Carl is honest, say what he thinks, loyal,good person and have principles which qualities are hard to find nowadays and is worth of gold. If I had a company i would take Carl as my vice president or equal buisness partner.

Now we have only butt-licking, self-centered, narcissistic, sociopathic, lazy, disloyal and traitourous, greedy employees who will betray their boss or colleague to climb higher in brutal corporate ladder to be a douchebag made of shit CEO who only cares about his paycheck and bonuses.
There was also that teacher that Lisa had early on, I forget his name. He left her a note that said "I am Lisa Simpson" when he was leaving on the train.
Karl was amazing, such a chad. He managed to reshape Homer, change him into a better person, and someone who could think like a corporate manager and stay at the top of his life. The moment he threw that umbrella to Homer, his mission was complete.

I kinda wished that things like these were permanent isntead of pissing down on Homer and bringing him back to the depressing status quo that is his daily life.
Well, the Simpsons (and futurama) has expressed on several episodes. The formula is that at the end of every episode, things always goes back to what it was. Since the viewers don't actually like change.
This is one of the best episodes because it shows how facile and luck-based financial success is. Homer is still stupid when he grows his hair back, but suddenly becomes an executive over things totally unrelated to his job performance. Pretty on point
Yeah plenty of moron managers get high salaries specially in field of computer software management, and they don't know shit. Just a lot of hard working smart engineers allow themselves to be treated like shit while the big stupid boss makes a shit load of money of them.

Man... it's a shame we didn't get to see homer live this better life that Karl helped him achieve. Homer being able to provide for his family again made him a happier man. Would have been cool if Karl made a return arc.

"Well it... sort of looks like.. Homer Simpson only more.. dynamic, and resourceful??" 🤣🤣🤣 I can't believe how good these jokes are even after a decade of having seen the episodes
What no one is talking about is how much the nuclear power plant has downsized since this episode. It’s now 2024 and we never saw the plant’s executive team again. Smithers is the only person who remained. The cafeteria closed, never saw it again; just an employee lounge remains.the executive washroom has no longer been seen since this episode.
Carl is a sculptor who sculpts men. His first work is Homer Simpson. He made him achieve. Second work is Carl himself. He made himself an honorable man by his own actions. Third work is all of us who watched this vid and felt something. He made me feel something that I couldn't very long time.
I don't wanna watch all the simpsons. They're just too damn much of it, but this episode in particular, I want to know. All of it What's it call the episode?
"Attention Homer Simpson you have been promoted. Take 3 minutes to say goodbye to your former friends and report to room 503 for reassignment to a better life"
@@solomale2156 I think it's just a coincidence because this Simpsons episode was made 9 years before the movie adaptation of American Psycho was released. Also the book was released after this episode.
I need me a Carl. Or perhaps I already have a Carl, just like we all do, within. The voice that tells you to keep striving, that some day sunny days will come.
So one of the reasons I really like this clip, I was losing my hair, although never went as bald as Homer, but I got the hair transplant and things really started happening all around me. I really can relate to Homer in these scenes. People like a man with hair.
When Carl threw him the umbrella while standing out in the rain I knew he was a true bro

"Well it... sort of looks like.. Homer Simpson only more.. dynamic, and resourceful??"
🤣🤣🤣 I can't believe how good these jokes are even after a decade of having seen the episodes
“My reasons are my ownnn” 😂
2:58 most companies never realize this !
Back when the show had a true heart to it. Made us laugh, and sprinkled heartwarming moments.
The ending of this episode always made me feel genuinely sad for homer.
Harvey Fierstein's voice is simply amazing.
If butter had vocal cords
@@chrisolagrim3597 Sounds more like a buttered buzz saw lol. But it really is a great voice, so deliciously weird for this part.
This is The Simpsons to me. This era has such a charm to it.
Burns: "Simpson, eh?"
I love how Burns' inability to ever remember Homer's name turned into a 30-year long running joke.
Let's face it. The sort of people who runs the Simpsons nowadays have forgotten about Karl and the values he stands for.
I never caught that before, that the company got better as soon as he stopped doing work.
I love the old episodes of this show. So good.
Early 90s Simpsons have a way of making me cry.
I like how homer hair goes from a late 60s british rocker to a mid 70s disco cut and finally a slick 90s executive
What no one is talking about is how much the nuclear power plant has downsized since this episode.
It’s now 2024 and we never saw the plant’s executive team again. Smithers is the only person who remained. The cafeteria closed, never saw it again; just an employee lounge remains.the executive washroom has no longer been seen since this episode.
Carl is a sculptor who sculpts men. His first work is Homer Simpson. He made him achieve. Second work is Carl himself. He made himself an honorable man by his own actions. Third work is all of us who watched this vid and felt something. He made me feel something that I couldn't very long time.
I don't wanna watch all the simpsons. They're just too damn much of it, but this episode in particular, I want to know. All of it What's it call the episode?
I miss this from the show
Carl never even made it to the crowd scenes after this.
Implying that maybe he was a guardian angel of some kind who came and helped Homer out? He literally never makes an appearance again.
@Wallace Cadwallader Footrot THAS NICE BUT... WHO ASK?
“I have hair! I HAVE HAIR!”
“How about a pony?” “Okay.”
“Burn his Hyde to Hades!”
"Attention Homer Simpson you have been promoted. Take 3 minutes to say goodbye to your former friends and report to room 503 for reassignment to a better life"
This episode could bring a tear to a glass eye….
1:42 this is the first time i've ever seen homer working for real and not sleeping or eating donuts
Homer looks like patrick bateman 😂
Lol he really does.
@@slipknotfan4204 i honestly think it might be a reference of sorts
@@solomale2156 I think it's just a coincidence because this Simpsons episode was made 9 years before the movie adaptation of American Psycho was released. Also the book was released after this episode.
@@slipknotfan4204 oh yeah. I had no idea when the movie was released. Still funny tho
@@slipknotfan4204 i wonder what american psycho references there are in simpsons
This is such a classic... And this edit is good... Thank you
Carl is a hard working man, a loyal friend. He put others before himself. A true chad.
Oh and Karl is a cool guy as well :)
well played
*Karl.
Carl is the black one.
“Report to room 503 for reassignment to a better life.”
"dear god, give a bald man a break" Is gona be my new prayer.
I need me a Carl. Or perhaps I already have a Carl, just like we all do, within. The voice that tells you to keep striving, that some day sunny days will come.
God bless this guy - best worker/friend you could have ! He took a grenade to save his boss - that’s loyalty
3:24 it literally says executive washroom on the door 😂😂
😂 perfect!
The scene where he's running in the morning always seem so serene and peaceful when I was a kid and also now
3:20
Homer Bateman
Carl is the guardian angel the world needs. Protect him at all costs!!
Man I miss my hair
Miss takes
Karl was so cool in this episode, that’s a real friend right there
The umbrella at Karl's departure was a smooth Mary Poppins allusion.
So one of the reasons I really like this clip, I was losing my hair, although never went as bald as Homer, but I got the hair transplant and things really started happening all around me. I really can relate to Homer in these scenes. People like a man with hair.
Hair makes all the difference.
People under circumstances like a man with hair. That is not always a priority.
how much was the hair transplant?
@ about $15,000.
@@joelkurtz1836 I wanna do it too and would live to see your doctor if possible were you happy with the results?
