Funny enough that is how Matt Groening came up with the Simpsons. He was going to pitch a different cartoon, but had to come with something new in the waiting room minutes before the interview.
i actually imagine him prototyping a maritime casino equipped with sails and cannons that can move on sea. The amount of chips the patrons get are based on loot they salvage from nearby cities and harbours.
They're not detailed proposals more like ideas for the theme. The joke is that he's going to retool his expedition proposal to a casino in about 5 minutes.
Frankly, what he planned here sounded a lot like Colombus' expedition. So in this specific scene, I'd say he was stuck all the way in the late 15th century...
Jeong-hun Sin Wrong. Just because Hitler's mother was Catholic and tried to raise him Catholic does NOT mean he stayed a Catholic as an adult. To quote Hitler as an adult directly: "One can either be a Christian, or one can be a German. But one cannot be a 'German Christian'," -Adolf Hitler He then proceeded to round up thousands of Christians and kill them along side the Jews. Learn your history son.
Kelly KitKat that was either the worst joke I ever heard or you have an unparalleled degree of ignorance the likes of which has never been seen before by the likes of man
50 men across three ships seems a little light, especially if the ships in question are of the size in the painting he brought. Mr. Burns would be a fool to take him up on that.
The first time I smoked weed, this part was playing, and I laughed just about as long as Mr burns! And then I got the joke caught in my weed filled mind, I l literally laughed into the night just thinking about how non PC was when you could say Chinaman, Fag, Irishman, colored.... ESPECIALLY when old men from the last century use that language!! 😂
OMG, I forgot how great this episode is. One Halloween, when I just didn't have the time or energy to put together a costume because my job was just consuming all my time, I went as "Idaho"--a paper taped across my work shirt with "Idaho" written on it. Few people got it, but I thought it was a great costume.
I loved this episode as a kid, now as an adult that lives in Sussex, I feel like I can appreciate the waitress joke even more. They aren't even wrong. Like trolls they are
I think I have counted the county of Sussex mentioned 3 times in the whole of The Simpsons. This episode, "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious" the one with Sherry Bobbins and "Marge Gamer" when Lisa takes up Soccer. You're welcome From another resident of Sussex by the sea
I think we can all relate to Mr. Burns non-stop laughing over memories of crippling a random person... that's what makes Simpsons so classic and relatable
I love seeing Burns laugh that long from a childhood memory.. I'm sure we all have that funny childhood memory that we still laugh about today.. I sure do! ☺️
I do too. There's this one memory I have from Elementary school where I was at the top of the Jungle Gym, watching as one of the attendants, a middle-aged plump lady, walked across the black top, wearing sunglasses and a bulky jacket. She was looking to her left, yelling at some students, completely unaware of the boys playing basketball on her right. The ball got away from the boys, and it bounced, boing-boing-boing, with perfect timing to hit the lady right in the stomach. Her little arms instinctively went up to clutch at her midsection as her head whipped around, yelling, "HEEEEEEEEEEY! OWWWWWWWWW!" I'm laughing even as I type this. XD That memory never fails to make me laugh.
aye govn'a the wenches be fine in ye old sussex, i seen 'em m'self with me own two peepers! Right stunners they were, like! Almost full set of teef and skin as a gray as the skies o' London! Sheer perfection m8! 'onk 'onk toot toot 'n' all that business if you know wot I mean ;)
Not only does he say Sussex, he pronounces it correctly; 'Suhs-six'. Ever since Meghan Markle became Duchess of Sussex, I've had to endure Americans pronouncing it 'Suss-Sex', and getting giggly because they said 'Sex'...
I bet she's not even a real ginger the daft bint. Most of the real gingers dye their hair dark and most of the gingers you see are blonde people playacting. 😛
@@jakerockznoodles Precisely lol. Very funny but again also very accurate. Then again, the atate of her teeth imply she doesnt care much about her appearance to begin with.
Burns laughs for the longest time when he reminiscences about how he crippled an Irishman as a child. I laugh equally as long when I reminisce about this clip. XD
His laugh is actually really soft and cute. Its so weird that he can be such a huge contradiction. Like he does evil and dangerous stuff, but then in other episodes, he's just really frail and kookie.
“Nobody’s all good or bad, and nobody’s all light or dark. Every human being has so many different aspects and facets to them. And there can be something noble and something really dark and dangerous going on in a person all at the same time.”
Ahhh yes the continuity that is Mr. Burns....a child on a bumper car that were invented in 1920 yet graduated from Yale in 1914 as a young man but remembers events in 1884.
@@rouxlskaard4891 I would claim to be her but I mostly play non-Winston tanks and supports so I'd be left out if a rendition of No Mercy broke out during a game. :P
I used to watch "Die Siempsons" on a German TV station called "PRO7". Always thought Burns said "gebrochene Nieren" (busted kidneys") instead of the actual "gebrochenen Iren" ("brocken/crippled Irishman") :D
