Probably because it happened to be a female friend, especially when Homer is pretty much used to having male friends at the Clam. But while Marge had a right to inquire and make sure nothing was going on, you're right that she reacted with a lot of insecurity, and then there's the way she acts like her husband isn't allowed to have any platonic relations with the gender that he's attracted to.
It's not about he made a friend, the thing is that he made a BEST friend, she was mad because you have to marry your best friend, i mean, all those years they spend together and she is not his best friend? That's the problem she had. (sorry for the bad English, i am not a native speaker)
It feels two sided for me. What you're saying is true, it's just that his wife spent decades with him and knows everything about him. His deepest fears, his dreams...everything. Then Homer just kinda seems to invalidate all that by appearing to move on without thinking about Marge at all. It was a thoughtless mistake on Homer's part, but it was completely innocent too. They were both kinda wrong here. Marge for being jealous and insecure, and Homer for just leaping into a relationship headlong without thinking about his wife. Of course you can have friends of any gender, I think if you're in a dedicated relationship though, it's important to at least let your SO know. Like, introduce them or talk about it so they don't feel left in the dark, you know?
Base on the thumbnail I thought bart got Maggie pregnant and the mother was upset. I am Glad that I was incorrect about that. Plus who has not seen homer in the nude before through the whole series at least once?
I am just now realizing after over a decade of watching The Simpsons that Bart’s name rearranged is Brat. That explains so much and why didn’t I catch it sooner? Lol
Bart wasn’t a bad kid, he acted up because everything was about Lisa. Even one of his birthdays was about her. They hardly ever showed him the affection he deserved. That’s the reason he acted the was he does, to get their attention
And everyone who thinks bar got Maggie pregnant he’s actually smiling at the screen because he wants attention and he wants people to see he is finally successful
This episode in specific felt really soulless and uncanny like they forgot what the Simpsons is all about. They just focus on breaking Homer and Marge's marriage like that's the only interesting plot point in the whole series, and not mentioning the incessant referencing to modern trends years after they all died, It wouldn't surprise me if in 3 years they made an episode about fortnite or something
I thought the Quick-E-Mart was behind the Simpsons house and in another episode the power plant was and in the simpsons movie, there is just a forest behind their house
I play the Simpsons Tapped Out game, and I once looked for an actual map of Springfield. There isn't one. The writers have always said that they will move buildings around for the comedy of the sketch. The only thing that has been consistent is the Moe's is next to King Toots.
@@nugget7469 no he doesn't, homer strangles him for the smallest reasons, doesn't like what bart said he gets strangled, bart did something bad he gets strangled, pulls a prank no matter how harmless he gets strangled. That's abuse and it's not justified.
Marge was such a pain in the ass, she leaves Homer, then gets mad at him for finding a friend that happens to be a woman, Homer never made a move on Julia, damn, classic housewife shit, somebody in the writing team had experience in the matter.
I understand the feelings of Marge. To her homer is her world. She has a HUGE heart and feels a bit hurt and scared that homer would find a new "additional" confidant. She's a mother who doesn't always have time to get dressed up or look sexy all the time and here comes this care free woman getting attention from her husband, regardless of how innocent it may seem.
Agreed. And there’s more of a catch to Homer Simpson in a lady’s eyes (in a weird, ‘duffy’ way) than there ever was with Peter Griffin (over at family guy). I always wonder why Louis doesn’t just ditch him already. And the fact that he happens to be the main protagonist of the show just because he’s the male head of the family (who also happens to be dumber than a bag of rocks, and that’s being nice) is really quite sexist.
@@Anonymous_Anon882 Bruh it's a T.V show. And honestly it's sorta sexist the that you think the only reasons Homer is the "main protagonist" is because he's male. Also the family are the main protagonists not just Homer.
Marge had no excuse to go full ape on homer lol. She was gone for a long time and got mad when he made a friend to fight the loneliness. Real mature of you Margey.
Lol yeah he's pretty non-chalant about it. I know they probably wouldn't think this far but it's not impossible that he didn't somehow see from the plane at one time. I remember in one episode planes were flying really low over the Simpsons House causing their house to shake. At the end of said episode Homers like "At least the planes are now flying where they belong. Over the homes of poor people" :D
Well to be fair, it was obvious that Marge is the abusive one; considering that she came from an abusive household anyway - Patty and Selma kept abusing her and her mother did nothing about it.
I'm just gonna say marriage is weird and straight people are more weird, not because they think you can't be friend of the oposite gender but because they think you can't have friends of the gender you feel atraction for. I'm not gonna speak for all gay people, but i think the majority of us get that you, in fact, can have friends of the gender you feel atraction for and don't feel atracted to them .
If you remember in the episode where he tries to kill himself, he tries to do something for good like give Ralph a candy but finds it kills him, so he takes it away from Ralph (taking candy from a baby rhetoric) which makes Ralph cry, and Burns turns back to normal which Burns then realizes that he still is kept alive through sheer evilness.
no, of course the drunk, uneducated, clueless, careless, garbage-eating, son-strangling slacker is not the cause of their abusive relationship, are you kidding me? the fault is clearly with the stay-at-home wife who dared to leave for five seconds.
@@user-jm6cl6fj1l I love Homer in the context of the show, but if we're imagining them as real people, no. It's not even close how much he would suck to be around in real life compared to her. Her worst trait is being passive towards his flaws, and that fact alone tells you all you need to know.
@@bdp8102 homer is not abusive to marge, bart yes but marge no. It might not be a healthy relationship ( maybe) but that is very diffrent from an abusive one. He dosent attack her or pretend to be something he's not. He loves her but fails to see how his actions could be difficult for other. However when he dose see he adjust to make sure that its better for her. Belittling, verbal or pyshical is an abusive relationship. He dosent do that. Though I haven't watched all 800+ episodes and the simpsons covers a lot so maybe I missed something
Idk why people don’t think the modern Simpsons is good. I will agree that some episodes are cringe-ly hip but that’s only like a few. It’s a new generation they’re trying to appeal to younger viewers (16+) doesn’t mean it’s bad. I have watched the Simpson all the way and I still catch myself laughing at some parts. Not everything needs to be out-dated so you can seem “cool”.
but it also doesnt mean its good either, and laughing at some parts just means theres occasional glimmers of hope in a dense quagmire of shit and mediocrity. Lisa just gets more and more insufferable as the series continues.
You can actually, it's a two way street. Also, most of Marges "friends" always badmouth her behind her back anyway, PLUS, she got kicked out of that group she was in and that was not Homers fault.
I haven't watch this show in a decade because i do not have a TV. But it makes me feel slightly depressed. Maybe this feeling is related to Matt Groening's energy when he first created it. Or simply to a dedication of the X generation era.
This is actually an interesting thing to think about. A lot of people have complained about the show declining in quality, but we never take a moment to stop watching and reflect on how the Simpsons are MEANT to be dysfunctional, and have always had issues. When they talk about old Simpsons, they're largely speaking out of nostalgia, but they seem to forget that there were plot points back then that illustrated that Marge and Homer had a loving relationship that was characterized as having issues in regards to insecurity. Springfield isn't just a town of wacky, zany characters- Its a town of people who are trying to struggle with life. I think what upsets folks is that the modern Simpsons is too close to home for them, because of how realistic the uncomfortable dialoguing has been for whenever the characters choose to become vulnerable. It's like looking into a mirror, and we no longer have the 90's comedic charm to buffer or protect us from it as we relate to Marge and Homer acting as realistic people who are weary, overworked, tired, and have neuroticsisms and quirks.
I find it funny where Marge gets mad at Homer with girls but yet all the guys that she's constantly flaunting with she was further with Ned Flander then Homer get with any girl fucked up
This backyard neighbor character julia should have been introduced 25 years ago. She is the perfect missing plug for homers character and a fantastic foil, And frankly, hilarious.
