Simpsons Mysteries - The Grampa Timeline 

I’m fine with that I love the mysteries projects

Yep

You just wanted to do a Father's Day episode and now you won't admit it since you're a couple days late uploading.

Oh, you should do Community videos. I know you've referenced the show a few times and your insight is perfect for that show.

@@williamb3740 Haha, you got me. I tried to make this a Father's Day video too, but the video ended up getting out of control and I missed the deadline. Ah well

You mean 3 non consecutive occasions

Sauce McAdams the joke is that in the video it was stated that Abe was spanked by Grover Cleveland for two non consecutive terms, and Abe never saw Hitler consistently

As you do

@@Green_Stache_Productions yes but the joke works with Ckeveland because he was the only person to be president in 2 non consecutive terms.

Mauro Daniel D'Ambrosio oh yeah. Forgot to mention that part. Thanks

Too damn true

No way man! I'm gonna keep rockin forever!

@Dildo Shwaggins literally untrue

Didn't stick with me as a kid. Now I'm only 20 and already scared of memes.

Look at ANY RU-vid comment section on a music video that's at least five years old for the proof of this theory: so much ridiculous nostalgia

Liam Anthony That has to be senility.

@@sonicmastersword8080 Twist, it's the ONLY thing that's true

Bigger twist, it's all Bongo's dream.

To take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say.

@@taopilot2669 The important thing to remember was that he had an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time.

That's a really good point. A little meta, but very interesting.

Right? How many Grammy winners, astronaut, survivors from a gorge fall, donkey riders are out there? When Homer becomes as old as Grampa, the story of his life would surely seems like a the ramblings of senile person.

Yeah, Abe's record's not bad but I think Homer might be the most interesting person in the world, never mind Springfield

@@randomname285 i think burns is the most interesting bc of how long hjs life is

Maybe is hereditary like the strangling

Was it A big yellow one?

back in dickety two

@@petermercurio9415 They didn't have any white onions, because of the war.

The Simpsons Theory the part in the thumbnail 😉

i think this was mocking "penny loafers" ... people would stick a penny in a certain spot of a certain shoe... i always loved that quote lol:)

A fairly cliche line is made absolutely hilarious by how it was somehow said on a wedding day, of all days.

Best advice my dad ever gave me.

I wish my dad told me that

Maybe grandpa is a time traveller

I mean, considering The Time Toaster is something that people use to fix the various issues in canon present in the Simpsons...

Or that time when he told homer to take a ride from a stranger because he's dumb as a mule and twice as ugly.

Which version of the wedding

Tree House Of Horror episode Time and Punishment.

Or when he sold his house so Homer could buy a new one and raise his family

His best advice was when he told him he used to be on it until it wasn't.

I think that line about the Marines was a direct hit at his senility.

all adressed to santa claus!

I think the shark riding story is meant to be true, seeing as Abe shows a picture of him meeting up with one of his old navy buddies and one of the sharks he rode in Hawaii. So there's a bit more evidence than just Santa.

​@@TheBcoolGuythat's (blank vs blank, that's next door)

We had to use the word dickety since the Kaiser stole our word for 20!

@@chris7372 Dickety! Highly dubious!

@Smoking Joe Which was the style at the time.

Okay here's my theory on Abraham Simpson. He was born around 1890, and then he joined World War I in 1919 and then in 1928 he enlisted in the Navy and then he joined the army when World War II was starting and then during his service during WW2, he joined the flying hell fish and after the war ended in 1945 he got with Mona and then in May of 1956 Homer was born. So if Grandpa Simpson joined the military in World War I he must have been around 5 to 6 years old because he lied about his age. And then in World War two he was about 34 to 35 years old and then when the show started he was between 65 to 70 years old so we're talking about nearly 7 decades.

1902....lol 😆

Rather like Homer then!

I think Dr. Phil once said this in a video with Bill Giest from CBS Sunday Morning. He mentions how grandparents seem to do parenting a whole lot better the 2nd time around when it's their grand children. It seems to be one of those weird things. Perhaps even for a cartoon, we see the same science in pay where a grandfather does a better job with the grandkids than they do with their own kids. In fact in one of the Christmas specials, we see an older Homer being better with Bart's own children than he ever was with Bart. And the episode comes to full circle when Homer tells his own grandchildren of the struggle he had with his own father and how their struggle with Bart wasn't all that different.

Not just Barthood, you can see overall that he and Bart have a much more better stable relationship then they had with Homer.

Just like Homer later shines as a grandfather in the future episodes.

Similar to holidays of future past, where homer is a far better grandparent to Bart’s kids then he ever was to Bart.

I dont understand how it could take that long to invent something that simple.

But he had to spank him twice non consecutively

@@mariodangelo9768 that could be a few months apart tho

that is interesting given homer has been mad that he forgets his name i always thought that was just burns is old thing. and that's the one thing that he forgets

He always forgets to remember how important the Simpsons are

That's a good theory! Maybe Mr. Burns only pretended to not know his name because he wanted to avoid Homer realizing his affection for him.

Maybe he wanted to steal the love of Grandpa's Son for himself but just never really went through with it? It kinda seems like a thing Burns would do

Preston K. Productions What about both?

Agreed that will probably be The Simpsons movie 2

Okay... hear me out on this... Redemption Arc for Sideshow Bob. And the whole time Sideshow Bob won't stop complaining about all the literary issues and educated issues present in these constant requirements for Redemption Arcs, or why people require villains need to have good back stories. Then once he is "Redeemed" he is constantly trying to prove how he isn't--and how blastedly awful this cliche stands to be. It backfires so often he decides to try to do something good, to have it backfire--but it just ends up working... which is kind of a form of backfiring, I suppose. He spends all his time talking about the bad stuff he has done--and other characters will comment how cute he is, as they've all racked up much worse stuff "for the comedies" at this point in time. He tries to kill Bart--but is met with people upset that he jumped the queue to kill Bart... as there is a little round red thing that distributes numbers. His attempts to foil the queue are met with love and adoration, as queues are inherently British and unamerican. Oh gosh... this... unfortunately writes itself for the most part. Also, this is most assuredly not Sideshow Bob having hijacked somebody elses accounts. The spelling and grammatical errors are more than enough proof of this.

@@joecool201 The whole time he is brought back as a villain he speaks only in Japanese with somebody hired to run around with "subtitles"... as Sideshow Bob is an artist.

Homer needs to tell him that he was his shooter.

i know, modern simpsons really sucks

They don't give you the Iron Cross for surrendering.

@@TheWillo777 he got the iron cross for accidentally destroying 2 Americans tanks

Digby!

I think a character trait of Abe, even in the older seasons, is that he is insecure, when he is alone. He works the best, when in a team or with his family and he actually cares for the ones he loves.

Yeah, he cosdressed many times apparently, with the cabaret and the female basball team

🤣🤣🤣

About the same for the first time in Simpsons history I actually felt sympathy for the old guy. That really says something about him though. Even after life had pretty much destroyed him, he still did the best he could for Homer. Except destroying his passion of gymnastics, Homer really would have had something there.

@@benullom2301 I was a bit sort of bitter about it and also forgot a few of his things but often he completely did lied to Homer about Mona too. But at the same time with how he word it in the story makes total sense and understanding. I also do miss Mona allot as well as other characters that died in the show or the voice actor did..

@@benullom2301 I also naturally loved Mona each time she returned back and Homer was for a very long time trully happy, more so I enjoyed her constant fighting over the overbloated greedy capitalism that mr burn is and all of his naturally questionable actions he committed

100th like

Glad to know I'm not the only one...

D'you ever notice Lou and Eddie sitting next to each other in plain clothes at Lisa and Bart's hockey game? I think it's nice they hang out outside of work

Thomas McWilliams my wife has family that are police officers and they often hang out with their partner and units outside of work and form bond working together. I worked at FedEx at the airport for a couple years and my team was like a family, many of us often hung out outside of work too

@@Thomaz0r you're right! And more importantly...EDDIE HAS HAIR??? amp.reddit.com/r/TheSimpsons/comments/1awip7/eddie_and_lou_in_plainclothes/

“Skinner can remain a Vietnam vet” 🤔🤔

@@Chris-mc2dt - Hello, fellow Chris :-D Anyway, maybe there should be a Principal Skinner history next?

Yeah I've more or less looked at the last 30 years as a very slowed down progression of time. That's why nobody appears to age, at least very much. Yay one-year lasts 30!

@@benullom2301 which just means that one year gets filled with so many anachronistic elements, that it becomes impossible to point to which one year, that one year actually is.

I still think it would make more sense if Abe was a Vietnam Vet and Skinner was an Afghanistan/Iraq Vet.

She is basically a Special Forces sniper, so it's not too far off.

I mean, Maggie does have an impressive kill count.

Tomato, Tomato Maggie is the patron saint of Death.

@@Gilhelmi No, that one guy at the power plant is. "I am the Angel of Death. The time of purification is at hand."

That’s a great perspective and part of why I like the way Abe is written until season 9

Hell yeah

😆😆😆

Smithers:"That's Homer Simpson, sir. One of your employees of sector 7g."

Mr. Burns: Ah yes, Simp son. (looks over at Smithers blankly) Smithers: He... (goes on to name all Mr. Burns' run ins with the Simpson family)

I don't have any kids and that happened to me. I remember when Half Life 2 and World of Warcraft were It. But now its Apex Legends and Minecraft.

No way, Crude Carl. Homer is going to keep rocking forever....forever....forever...for..ever.

@@Sewblon It happens to _everyone_. And the effect is only going to get worse with changes happening faster every decade, it seems. Wait until you realize how degenerate "It" has actually become, you'll shock yourself for seeing it, and are asking yourself how things were allowed to go so far.

@@Sewblon I honestly don't think Minecraft is 'it' anymore either. I used to play a lot of Minecraft, back in the eeeearly days. Before they added horses and bunnies and I don't know what other unneccessary shit. Now I find it confusing when my nephew talks about it and none of the old commands work anymore... I think Fortnite might be 'it'? But maybe its not. Maybe that was two years ago. Who knows. I still play Half Life 2 every 1-2 years though. So I feel ya.

@@Sewblon Minecraft's start of relevance is closer to HL2 and WoW than current year (2022), it's just THAT popular of a game

Wow. I surprised nobody commented on this...

its way more interesting and thought provoking than I thought it would be

hello i love your vids hope you can see this

Those were the true ones.

You now have 69 likes. Have a NICE day

I knew I had forgotten something. I even used the screenshot where he mentioned it! Dang it :(

That one to me seems like one of the nonsensical ramblings, I doubt that one is true.

LMFAO As soon as I read that second line. Yeah something tells me that's the senility, but maybe that really is the only true thing that Abe ever said.

He also forgot to mention when Abe fled the battle before the Normandy landing.

@@benullom2301 It can't be the only true thing that he has said. We have met his bastards. So we know he was telling the truth about his dalliances. We also know he was partly telling the truth about climbing the Murderhorn because we found his mountaineering partner's journal. We also know he was telling the truth about stealing the paintings because he eventually found them.

I mean he served in every other branch so why not.

I agree

me too

Did they announce they’re killing off the character?

@@poogmaster1 I don't believe so.

@@darthsawlex8257 Supposedly they are ending the series and the most reason season finale was an episode covering Santa's little helper's past and trauma and "Wrapped up his story arc"

what about Hubert Farnsworth? he's pretty insane and out of it too.

He most definitely is, but that's Futurama, not The Simpsons.

They already got Skinner for that though.

@@peterprime2140 maybe they'll make Skinner an Iraq vet

@@adelezeiber8573 That's what they did with The Punisher

America keeps getting itself into wars, so expect the 100th season of the Simpson to have Grandpa Simpson in Iraq...and Mr Burns in WWI

I don’t think so, in one of the videos of this channel when trying to know if the simpsons had a fixed or floating timeline one of the things that was most consistent was Homer and Marge high school years always took place in the 70s, so maybe WW2 could be like the watermark for Abe Simpson

YES!

My headcanon is that they're extremely messed up serial killers or something. Just look at the one with the hat. He looks like those stereotypical hitchhiker murderers.

I LOVE your idea!

Sin Talento Producciones nice maybe he has guilt over the killings and thats why he’s drowning his sorrows at the bar each night. He might even be the “jealous jockey” who committed those murders at the murder house!

@@thecreepycuck6036 I think you're onto something there!

Larry and Sam you mean?

The guy with hat and glasses that always looks depressed!

RIP Larry!

well, she kinda had to, as she was on the run from Mr. Burns.

@@cobb797 She was on the run from Mr. Burns because she chose to go play hippy protester.

@@redrackham6812 to stop chemical weapons development lol, that's a good thing to stop

Maybe it's because she left when Homer was so young so he doesn't remember anything bad of her. Abe was there whole time, trying his best for Homer but still being just a human. Homer remembers bad stuff of Abe because those memories are not coated with nostalgia like his memories of "dead" mother. There were good memories of him but it's easier to concentrate on negatives and that way Homer sees Abe in worse light than Mona.

is that more important than her family?@@fruttibotti1430

Yeah, you can really tell how the Simpsons went downhill when you look at timelines like this. :D

I’m low-key kind of bummed his stint as a drag Cabaret Star in Nazi Germany was retconned. Like, that’s definitely in the top 3 of insane Abe Simpson side hustles.

His age ranges from 80s to earler hundreds to millenia!

Nobody's been informed, Burns is the Antichrist. Release the hounds.

He is 81 in season 2.

@@sonicmastersword8080 I'm sure he's 104 in another episode.

@@darthsawlex8257 I double checked this, Skinner confirms it in, Who Shot Mr. Burns part 1, season 6 finale.

Mr Burns needs his own video.

Lol.

Well, get used to it, 'cause he's livin' on RU-vid now; he ain't going back to the retirement home, until they fish his bed out of that sinkhole!

If i had to guess, the plant was announced when he was a kid, it was near opening when he was a teenager, and when he applied it was barely opened and still seeking new employees

@@curtailedbike4123 yeah these things take like 15 years to build and that’s without delays

Lo que es curioso ya que en un episodio admite que el fue el que le disparo e inculpo a Maggie

Are you still able to give five bees and get a quarter?

Yellow ones or white

Whenever the writers stopped giving a shit, which seems to be around or before season 10. Whenever they stopped caring about what Groening had made up rules for

Really there were inconsistencies from the first season onward - at no point did they expect this to go on as long as it did and, it's a cartoon - who needs consistency and logic!

The problem is it happens multiple times. There is consistency in parts but the whole is shattered.

I still firmly believe Trash of the Titans (season 9) to be the last episode of the Simpsons. They all technically leave the real Springfield (by 5 miles at least) and everything after that had an odd feeling, like they entered the matrix. TLDR: Old man (me) yells at cloud

@@TheBisness eh I guess but King of the Hill, Lost our Lisa and especially Natural Born Kissers are great to

That cloud was a nuisance and you know it... I'm tired of seeing people making light of an absolute issue.

That would be both hilarious and awsome! 😂

You could make a pretty compelling story about the sympathetic asshole type that he was.

Move over Forrest Gump!

LOL, while I don't think any US troops won German awards the Germans did recommend (via the red Cross) several Americans for US bravery awards most of which were granted. I guess when you impress your enemies so much they find it necessary to recommend you for a medal you probably earned it.

8000, and if Homer can fall down Springfield Gorge twice in a row, then I have every confidence in Abe.

Yeah but that also shoots the entire “show started in ‘89” thing too. Floating timelines gonna float.

Yeah and I said it somewhere else where one year of the character age lasts 30 years of our time. Time around them continues to flow.

If bart was 10 then he would’ve been born in 2010. The series started in 89

@@Chris-mc2dt Yeah but the problem is when a specific character gets linked to a specific event or time period, and that character's appearance and backstory remains enshrined as canon. Because now Homer was born aprox. 11 years after the Woodstock Festival where Mona took him as a toddler. And apparently she left when homer was 9 so she'd have committed her Flower Children inspired act of sabotage around 1989 to 1990.

All of Springfield stopped aging after 1989 and became functionally immortal.

Haha 😆

you're so political you can't even spell it correctly

Which was the style at the time

- Back in my day, Videos were called “flickerin’ Funnies” and you had to go to the theatre to see them. You couldn’t hear them, so we always made up our own dialogue; my buddy Danny Baldy was great at adding political subtext into Steam Boat Willie... that mouse hated those damn Commies! Now of course, when the funnies first started they weren’t that popular, “a gimmick” everyone said, so A dedicated team of animators and I decided to make a funny that would really show those big-wigs in Hollywood what the genre could be... and so in 19-Dickity-6 we created, Toy Story. The film cost 50 thousand Bees to make, and is responsible for my crippling alcoholism and dependency on morphine to this day... So Anyway, that’s how I founded Pixar and filed for chapter 11 the next year... left with absolutely nothing but the left shoe that Walt Disney gifted to me before the operation to freeze his head. I loved his head Please god, I wish one day for another head like that. They don’t give head like they used to.

@@Emohawk707 LMFAO

I had a shark fin on me shoe, which was the style at the time

you get used to it.

The shark story may not have actually happened

@@PandosyAnna I guess? But, then you stop watching. I felt a certain connection to the show as I'm only a few months older than it. I haven't really paid attention to it since my early teen years. I'll still watch anything from 2000 and before any time it's on.

@@jr2904 okay!
