I didn't really notice this until watching the video back, but Lionel Hutz is a surprisingly Marge-centric character. She shows up a lot in this video. It's really Marge and Bart, who the writers seemed to love pairing up with Hutz.
TheRealJims can you do a sixty second review of Behind the Laughter? I think it's just such a different episode for the show and I'd love to see your take on it.
Well that's because her no nonsense attitude and honesty contrast with his shaddiness really well, whereas with Homer he can basically talk him into anything with little to no effort and where's the fun in that ?
this is one of my favorite Simpsons quotes ever, right up there with “this is the room with the electeicity, but it has too much electricity, so i don’t know, maybe wear a hat”
"Mr. Simpson, don't you worry. I saw an episode of Matlock in a bar last night. The sound was down, but I think I got the gist of it." "Mr. Simpson, I was just going through your garbage, and I couldn't help overhearing that you need a babysitter."
I think there's a good point abut Hutz being so charming it's plausible why he keeps getting hired. That first quote sounds so reaffirming until you take in what he actually said.
@@robo3007 And now we lost Russi Taylor, voice of not only Martin Prince and Sherri and Terri, but also the voice of Minnie Mouse since the 80s. I wonder if Pamela Hayden is gonna take over since she was the voice over when Taylor wasn't available.
“Woohoo!” This was going to be my favorite quote from Lionel Hutz, but you beat me to it friend. I don’t even quite understand what’s happening here other than I suppose he’s trying to flatter and embolden Homer into hiring him and going in on this clearly fraudulent lawsuit.
Judge Snyder is incredulous at Hutz’ last ditch yet ridiculously incompetent attempt to get Marge off the hook. 1. He forges the verdict and uses distinctly different paper. 2. He doesn’t change the forged verdict to secure his client’s freedom. 3. And to top it all off, he can’t spell.
This man inspired Bart to be a legal professional, as show in some of the future episodes. In the joke about a world without lawyers, Bart states,“Mr. Hutz, when I grow up, I want to be a lawyer just like you.”
And he ends up being Chief Justice of The Supreme Court. Mind you that would be somewhat easier when your sister is the first straight female President.
My favourite Lionel Hutz quote is: "I move for a bad court thingy" "You mean a mistrial?" "Yeah that's why you're the judge and I'm the law talking guy." "The lawyer." "Right." It's my favourite quote as despite being a lawyer he shows absolutely no knowledge of the law and I'm surprised the Judge keeps him in the room after that! Also both Dr Nick and Lionel Hutz make their first appearances in the same episode 'Bart Gets hit by a Car' For the next Simpson's history I'd like to see Lenny and Carl.
As a law student, I can confirm that this is the case for many lawyers, judges or legislators. Nobody really knows what we are studying/doing, not even professors. That’s the beauty of it.
It would mean the world to me if you did a Simpsons Histories on the mysterious Mr. Snrub. Though his time on the show was brief, I have always wondered what's the deal with him. Why was Smithers so keen on helping him out if he's a total stranger from a land far away?
freckle on my lumpsack they joke in the DVD commentaries that if they ever did a live action Simpsons that Phil Hartman would be one of the few actors who could play his characters in both.
He'd probably get into how the character went from a cool, ambitious rock-and-roll bus driver to just a sad, pathetic drug user. Easily one of my least favorite changes in a character.
“That was a right pretty speech sir, but I ask you, what IS a contract? Webster’s defines it as an agreement under the law which is unbreakable. Which is UN-BREAKABLE! ...Excuse me I must use the restroom”- Lionel Hutz
It's always interesting for me to think how relatively "major" of a secondary character Lionel Hutz was during his time on the show. He made a lot of appearances early on, he was given a major appearance in a Treehouse of Horror segment, he was chosen to babysit the Simpsons kids over every other secondary character, et cetera. I always subconsciously think of Hutz as a more niche character, kind of like Cletus or Hans Moleman, but he really wasn't. He was such a great character. My favorite of his jokes would definitely have to be his "Neverending Story" line. It's so dumb, but so perfect.
Man, Lionel Hutz was such a fun character. A shame they don't use him anymore, but I totally respect the writers decision to retire him after Phil Hartman died. I just wish there was an adequate replacement for him, Gil just isn't the same and the Blue-Haired Lawyer's too competent to have these fun "bad attorney" jokes. Edit: favorite Lionel Hutz bit? "Works on contingency? No, money down!"
I'm pretty sure you were just wearing a red and white striped club tie in a half Windsor knot. And I dont forget anything. I can even recite pi to 40,000 places. The last digit is 1!
My favorite Lionel Hutz moment is in the episode Selma's Choice Season 4, episode 13, where he dubbed his own voice over Great aunt Gladys's in an attempt to give himself a $50,000 inheritance!
I don't think so, but his characters definitely could've made lesser episodes better. Hartman was just great at brightening up an episode, but The Simpsons downfall was just to wide that one man could've saved it. Like now, if Jon Lovitz or Kelsey Grammer are in episode, you know it'll be good but it still won't offer enough to rival the old Artie Ziff or Sideshow Bob episodes. However his presence is still hugely missed on certain episodes that need some Lionel Hutz or Troy McClure comic relief.
Maybe, there were things in the works for Phil Hartman and the Simpsons before his death and it is really sad we will never know how awesome it probably was going to be.
How about we check out our favorite local Scotsman, Groundskeeper Willy? He has a ton of interesting history and interactions with the simpsons and is still around!
Jims and Scots are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots. Or Welshmen and Scots. Or Japanese and Scots. Or Scots and other Scots. Damn Scots... they ruined Scotland!
Lionel Hutz is why I still refer to Vodka as the "clearest of the clear liquors" Also I never realized how much he looks like a little boy in an oversized suit
You know what? How about Apu? The man is in the middle of a whole controversy, it would be nice to see him not as a stereotype, but rather the good honest salesman who builds furniture and discuss on where is the best place to put it.
It's weird how most of the controversy was manufactured. It all started with this Indian comedian making a documentary about his experiences growing up in America, the entertainment industry, and the most prominent Indian-American in pop culture: Apu. It wasn't anything antagonistic. Then the Simpsons writers had this weird backlash against it, months later, because they thought it was some hateful thing? Then Hank Azaria went on The Late Show talking about how he understands some of the concerns raised in the documentary. And then they erased him all together? All for something nobody was asking for. It's really bizarre. If I talk about the positives and negatives of Bumblebee Man, I hope the writers don't Thanos Snap him out of existence too.
Apu is a pretty great character. But in the spate of pointless re-castings in 2020, I never got uncomfortable vibes from Carl or Bumblebee Man being voiced by Hank Azaria and I don't think anyone watching actually did. But I wouldn't really miss him from the role of Apu.
Leave it to revisionist outrage culture to see representation of an overlooked culture as racism. Apu was more developed than half the characters on the show
My favorite Lionel Hutz Moment: Lionel Hutz attorney of law. I'm filing a class actin sue against the director on behalf of everyone who was cut from the play..... I also play Mitch! It's so quick and yet so funny I can't help but get the giggles every time he says this no matter how many times I watch Streetcar Named Marge.
I think the fact that we don't really know much about his personal life outside of being a lawyer is one of the reasons why his character always worked so well and never got old. We never knew much about him aside from his job so when something completely unpredictable happened it would be hilarious and work perfectly (Like the "Don't touch my stuff!" scene or when he's in the cell next to Homer). Add his never-leaving confidence to those moments and you have yourself a brilliant formula that never gets old. I think that's also why his character worked almost just as well as a realtor and why even some of his smallest roles were gold. It would have been interesting for him to have a spotlight episode like Troy McClure though. And I agree his sudden outbursts in Reality Bites were kind of odd for him. It still somehow managed to fit his character humor-wise though, which I think is an accomplishment. I can think of a lot of characters where that kind of change in personality would have gone horribly.
So many great moments. MARGE ON THE LAM alone summed up his low character. All of his scenes in that episode were telling, but hilarious. Soliciting legal help to Homer while in jail was pretty funny. The show has not been the same since Phil Hartman’s untimely death.
There's something about the line "Care to join me in a belt of scotch?" It's so blatantly unprofessional but oddly forthright, paired with the energy and optimism he embodies, it really kills me. And then of course coupling it with the fact that he hasn't slept in days, it says so much about him but also raises a lot of questions. Why haven't you slept in days Lionel? Drugs? Paranoia? The guys at the YMCA getting aggressive?
Billy[edit] Billy (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is Troy McClure's assistant who appeared in "Lisa the Simpson", and "Bart the Mother". He was supposed to appear in more episodes, but due to the death of McClure's voice actor Phil Hartman, he was retired along with McClure. He is a child who appears in Troy McClure's educational films. He appears in the films "Birds: Our Fine Feathered Colleagues", and "Someone's in the Kitchen with DNA". A similar child named Jimmy (who at one point McClure also calls Billy) appears in "The Meat Council Presents: 'Meat and You: Partners in Freedom'" in the episode, "Lisa the Vegetarian".
"Care to join me in a belt of scotch?" "Mr. Hutz, it's 9:30 in the morning." "Oh, I've been up for days." Nomination for another histories episode: hmm... Maybe Milhouse? Or his parents? It'd be interesting because it does seem like their divorce/marital status gets further developed in newer episodes, which I'd guess most people have skipped out on. Milhouse himself has plenty of future timeline stuff, and also is just the subject of some very odd gags (appearing on a milk carton label as a lost kid, his flamboyantly homosexual tendencies according to Dr. J Loren Pryor, etc.).
If you want to do a main character Lisa would be fun to see the progression of how the series changed her character; it would be the "evolution" of Lisa if you will. You'd definitely have your work cut out for you though.
"Excuse me, is there an Orange Julius stand on this floor?" "I'll sell you this one, it's almost full." "Well why don't I drink out of a toilet bowl?" (leaves disgusted) "He'll be back." Lionel Hutz negotiating at its finest.
Man Phil Hartman was so charming, Lionel and Troy could have been okay without him but he elevated those characters to another level. Also he was Captain Blasto, which was my favorite frustrating game as a kid.
When I got arrested and they asked if I wanted a public defender I instantly said “as long as it’s not Lionel Hutz”. One cop laughted the other didn’t get it
No matter what I do to get away, I keep being dragged back to these videos. Your content is just so wholesome I can't stay away from it longer than a couple months
"My client's film predates all of those things, Your Honor." "Oh, yes! I've forgotten your famous film- the one you destroyed before the trial and haven't been able to find another copy of? Oh, yes, that film?" "Yes......you don't have a copy, do you?"
For me, it's the throwaway gag where Hutz bargains for his babysitting fee to include a battered, old birdcage, whispering to himself that he, "Still got it!"
Fantastic video. Glad you included the easter egg that Hutz had married Selma at some point. Such a tiny throwaway line for what easily could have been an episode itself and a good reminder that there's constantly "22 Short Films" stories weaving throughout Springfield. She says, "From now on I'm only marrying for love. And possibly once more for money." I was under the impression she was in love with Bob and Troy... could she have married Lionel Hutz for money? Wonder what kind of scam he was pulling...
My favourite Lionel Hutz quote/scene is in "The Day the Violence Died" ... If I hear "objection" and "sustained"... one more time today, I think I'm going to scream. ... the subsequent scream from Hutz is priceless.
One of my all time favourite Simpsons moments is when Lionel Hutz runs out screaming upon seeing Mr. Burns' lawyers in "Marge Gets A Job". R.I.P. Phil Hartman :-(
Well if that is what you think, I've got something to tell you. Something that may shock and discredit you. And that thing is as follows: I'm not wearing a tie at all. 😂😂 😂
You’re definitely right about reality bites being a passing the torch episode, I had noticed that myself. Even though Troy McLure was the more iconic character I feel like Lionel Hutz’s absence from the show was more noticeable because he interacted with the main cast more often, the court scenes have never been the same since. Although the fact that he appeared less frequently from season 6-9 might have meant that he wouldn’t have been used much anyway
Lionel Hutz was one of my favorite characters, he was the satire of the legal system, and the writers reminded us of that every time they showed him with his back against he wall of books
I've argued in front of every judge in this state, often as a lawyer.
Priceless... 🤣

You are correct.. “brownest of the brown liquors” is not only Lionel’s best quote, but certainly one of the greatest lines in Simpsons history.
I sometimes wonder if the “golden age” could’ve recovered from principle and the pauper if Hartman had not tragically passed.
I think passed is the wrong euphemism for what happened to Phil hartman.
I don't think so, but his characters definitely could've made lesser episodes better. Hartman was just great at brightening up an episode, but The Simpsons downfall was just to wide that one man could've saved it.

"Care to join me in a belt of scotch?"
"Mr. Hutz, it's 9:30 in the morning."
"Oh, I've been up for days."
Nomination for another histories episode: hmm... Maybe Milhouse? Or his parents? It'd be interesting because it does seem like their divorce/marital status gets further developed in newer episodes, which I'd guess most people have skipped out on. Milhouse himself has plenty of future timeline stuff, and also is just the subject of some very odd gags (appearing on a milk carton label as a lost kid, his flamboyantly homosexual tendencies according to Dr. J Loren Pryor, etc.).
Awesome choice for a Simpson's History video!
Look at him, he's wearing a belt! That's Hollywood for ya.
Requesting history vid of old man Jasper
If you want to do a main character Lisa would be fun to see the progression of how the series changed her character; it would be the "evolution" of Lisa if you will.
You'd definitely have your work cut out for you though.
I feel like if Phil Hartman was still alive there would be a live action show about Lionel hutz.
"I don't use the word hero often, but you, Mr Simpson, are the greatest hero in american history."
Love this - just love. You are really adding value to my love of The Simpsons.
'I'm not wearing a tie,at all!' with the proud wave of his arm as he displays his tie-less shirt to the Court.
"Mr Simpson, I don't use the word 'hero' very often, but you are the greatest hero in American history"
Bart: "So you don't work on a contingency basis?"
Lionel Hutz: "No, money down!"
Shouldn't have this Bar Association logo on here either
Hutz has been my all-time favorite Simpsons character for years. I adore this character with all my heart
My vote for the next Simpsons Histories episode would either be Patty and Selma or Waylon Smithers.
"Care to join me in a belt of Scotch?"
"It's 9:30 in the morning!"
"Yeah, but I haven't slept in days. Last chance!"
Glug Glug Glug
"Excuse me, is there an Orange Julius stand on this floor?"
"I'll sell you this one, it's almost full."
"Well why don't I drink out of a toilet bowl?" (leaves disgusted)
"He'll be back."
Lionel Hutz negotiating at its finest.
Before there was Saul Goodman, there was Lionel Hutz.
Can we get 1 for Lenny please?
And a separate one for Carl?
@@pauljones3017 or maybe 1 for them together since most of the time they r together. Awesome suggestion.
Oh no, not Lenny! *Not* *_LENNY!_*
@@smoothSnake23 : I'd actually like an episode focusing on each other separately, but a single video would be good too.
"ow my eye!"
Your music choice and placement always makes your videos really that much more enjoyable. You know your stuff and you have a pleasant voice.
Man Phil Hartman was so charming, Lionel and Troy could have been okay without him but he elevated those characters to another level.
Also he was Captain Blasto, which was my favorite frustrating game as a kid.
When I got arrested and they asked if I wanted a public defender I instantly said “as long as it’s not Lionel Hutz”. One cop laughted the other didn’t get it
"Mr Simpson, I was just going through your garbage"
No matter what I do to get away, I keep being dragged back to these videos.
Your content is just so wholesome I can't stay away from it longer than a couple months
"My client's film predates all of those things, Your Honor."
"Oh, yes! I've forgotten your famous film- the one you destroyed before the trial and haven't been able to find another copy of? Oh, yes, that film?"
"Yes......you don't have a copy, do you?"
Rip Phil Hartman, this show will never be the same without you
"I rest my case."
You rest your case?
"Oh, I thought that was just a figure of speech. Case closed."
One of my favourite quotes.
For me, it's the throwaway gag where Hutz bargains for his babysitting fee to include a battered, old birdcage, whispering to himself that he, "Still got it!"
"I move for a bad-court-thingy."
"You mean a mistrial?"
"Yeah! That's why you're the judge and I'm the law...talkin' guy."
"The lawyer."
My favorite Hutz scene has gotta be the whole "Works on Contingency? No, Money Down!" bit.
DO GROUDSKEEPER WILLIE, YOU PIXAR LOVING, COUCH POTATO!
Fantastic video. Glad you included the easter egg that Hutz had married Selma at some point. Such a tiny throwaway line for what easily could have been an episode itself and a good reminder that there's constantly "22 Short Films" stories weaving throughout Springfield. She says, "From now on I'm only marrying for love. And possibly once more for money." I was under the impression she was in love with Bob and Troy... could she have married Lionel Hutz for money? Wonder what kind of scam he was pulling...
well as Lionel Hutz said in Secrets of a Successful Marriage: "I'm a real user of women, I move in and stay until the money's gone."
You should do another lawyer character one with blue hair
Pjthemaster1 I can hear him say "Mr Simpson..." in my head. haha
My favourite Lionel Hutz quote/scene is in "The Day the Violence Died" ...
If I hear "objection" and "sustained"... one more time today, I think I'm going to scream.
... the subsequent scream from Hutz is priceless.
We really lost a lot when Phil Hartman was murdered
I absolutely love that they include David Crosby as a total throwaway with only a single line.
"after I accidentally run over his dog. and by dog I mean son, and when I say accident I mean repeatedly"
The legendary
"Oh that's a typo"
No, money down!
"Care to join me in a belt of scotch?"
"It's 9:30 in the morning."
"Yes, but I haven't slept in days."
I was rumbling through your channel and couldn't help but hear you needed a subscriber.
When in doubt, always blame Ol' Gil.
One of my all time favourite Simpsons moments is when Lionel Hutz runs out screaming upon seeing Mr. Burns' lawyers in "Marge Gets A Job".
R.I.P. Phil Hartman :-(
Well if that is what you think, I've got something to tell you. Something that may shock and discredit you. And that thing is as follows: I'm not wearing a tie at all. 😂😂 😂
You’re definitely right about reality bites being a passing the torch episode, I had noticed that myself. Even though Troy McLure was the more iconic character I feel like Lionel Hutz’s absence from the show was more noticeable because he interacted with the main cast more often, the court scenes have never been the same since. Although the fact that he appeared less frequently from season 6-9 might have meant that he wouldn’t have been used much anyway
got a feeling Phil was busy doing News Radio at the time and various movies.
I’m not wearing a tie at all
Jeff King omg LOL
Okay two, and I get to keep this old bird cage!
Still got it.
“The Truth 😠 and The Truth 😀”
Lionel Hutz was one of my favorite characters, he was the satire of the legal system, and the writers reminded us of that every time they showed him with his back against he wall of books
Jims, what do you expect of seasons 31 and 32?
Somewhere Miguel Sanchez is running a Cinnabon in Nebraska
How about Gil next?
Ah cmon TheRealJims ya gotta do an episode about ol' Gil, the wolves are at his door!
I mean I'd like to tell you my favourite Hutz quote, but...there's the truth *shakes head* and...the truth! *nods whilst smiling*
My favorite joke is
"Mister Simpson your in luck I saw mattock in a bar last night the sound wasn't on but I got the mist of it"
hutz: care to join me for a belt of scotch?
Marge: but it's 930 in the morning
hutz: yeah, but I haven't slept in days
