It’s such a very fleeting reference in the main plot to the B plot of the episode though. I think leaving it out makes sense because the subplot stands so well on its own as a separate video outside the context of the Frank Grimes plot. The writers have even said it was more or less tacked on to lighten things up inbetween the main plot.
It's actually very sound advice. Rats and mice can and will run up your pant legs on the inside. You do no want those pests biting you so it's better you setup traps and kill them.
This gag from the Simpsons has special value for me because when I was a kid in Mexico City I had a job watching an abandoned wearhouse, there was nothing of value inside but I still got paid.
Hank Jones I was just gonna type that, but I see I am 5 whole months late!😂 Edit: Bart's company must've been legitimate bc he outfitted Milhouse with half a night-watchman's uniform including peaked cap & a nightstick.

@Frey in Springfield things are not what they seem to be like the krusty burger is worse then the double krusty burger, mr burns is running a nuclear plant on very low cost and some how its still in one pace. and chef wiggum being a cop.
I love the notion that even being made to guard a decrepit, abandoned, mostly empty factory that could literally crumble down at any moment, all night long, with a single rat coffee to stay awake is automatically better than whatever Kirk's doing with his life.
The joke is the coffee from those machines is so horrible the rat and age don’t matter. But to answer your question about waiting for the rat to move, it takes time to brew the coffee.
@@matthew8153 The first joke is the machine is so unused that rats live in it and the second joke is that Mulhouse still drinks the coffee despite the rat falling in his cup
I love the incredulity in Milhouses voice when he says “…you don’t have a factory ” like owning a factory is obviously one of those playground lies but like a playground lie, he also considers it seriously for a brief second before getting scared it’s a put on. Such a fun little nuance and I burst out laughing
This is what it was like for me in the Army stationed in Germany. They gave the males in my unit these old, condemned, pre-WWII barracks buildings and we got to live however we wanted. We even had a wall we would throw a hammer at just for fun. We built a fire pit in the yard and burned all the old curtains and furniture we found. We also roasted a turkey in it for Thanksgiving. Good times!
@@papaofthejohns5882 you would have to get insurance on that. It’s called vacant building insurance . There’s a lot of restrictions in the insurance and it being vacant not at a lot of stuff is covered, vandalism, sprinkler leakage. Theft, glass breakage. Fire and wind damage goes down to 15%. You could pay very very high premiums if you want that coverage all back. So in all Bart could’ve gotten 15% of what it was worth…lol
I like how weirdly accurate this is to kids in real life. Like yeah most of them aren’t getting factories irl but the way they play around is surprisingly realistic
When I was a kid I saw this and I thought all I had to do was carry a dollar around and be in the right place at the right time to get my own factory for me and my friends.
Before the tide pod thing, there was the 90's think called "huffing" where you got high off of stuff like paint. Carcinogens, stimulants, and depressants in those too in high amounts!
I love how the B plot accents the main plot of the episode. When Bart buys a rundown factory he uses it as an extended playground and sandbox. But if a character like Frank Grimes bought the factory, like most of us he would instantly think about profit, renovation, and bussiness.
@@hatchmaster_5745 Not like the episode was out for 24 years lol. I'll still admit I stole it but I've always found the B plot fascinating for how it accents the main part of the episode.
When Milhouse says “look at those warning signs” there are three signs. Then Bart threw two of them out the window, and there weren’t any left? Are we to believe there was some magic sign? Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
I love how Milhouse's reaction to Bart, from the window of a factory, asking him to work in his factory that he is standing outside of, is that Bart doesn't have a factory
Love that at the end when the rats migrate to Moe’s he calmly instructs his customers to tuck their pants into their socks like it’s a common occurrence he’s already had to deal with several times in the past
I think (from growing up in the midwest) that that's a common precaution... presumably for ticks and/or poison ivy. Not sure what it can do against rats. Maybe the rats have ticks?
@@Donteatacowman I've owned a dozen rats in my lifetime. They like to run up your legs. I wear pants that don't let them do it. When I wear shorts, it makes things a little less comfortable.

I just love when Bart picks up a screw, looks at a window and chucks it into the air, for the screw only to fall on the further side of the factory, lol idk I just thought that was funny. Was expecting the screw to smash a window or something lol
A possible follow-up episode to this: The building fell down, but Bart still owns the land and all the scrap metal & stuff in the rubble. The Simpsons take notice when the gov demands Bart pay the taxes on it, then they do something with the lot, or just clean it up, sell it and make a fortune, then do something with the money.
I like how the factory doesn’t do anything and has no revenue but millhouse is employed to aimlessly destroy stuff and then also watch the place over night
I'm guessing that Bart never paid property taxes for the land and the town eventually seized it, selling it at a similar auction as the one he bought it at.
@@royjonzejr and at that auction, since the land is ridiculously contaminated, nobody wanted to buy it... nobody except another random kid who walked in at the end and bought it for a dollar. And so the cycle continues...
I’m jealous about that fire extinguisher. Abandoned factory has high powered working ones. The one at my work was inspected in 2008. Highly doubt it would push a boy across the floor
