This is beautiful. I saw the Simpsons tonight and it was about a scammer getting grandpa and it was a surprisingly alright episode but nothing like the olden days. The Simpsons have really lost their touch. This clip is gold though. Simpsons GOLD!
This is at the beginning when the Simpsons started to settle into their goofball comedy . It’s only a sneak peak at how whacky they would become and right before their prime years 😄
I remember watching it when it was very new, even watched a few episodes still on Tracy Ullman. I'd watch b/c it was a cartoon and laugh some but the early seasons always made me feel weird. Too mean for a cartoon? Too much wrong? Dunno, but once season 3 started it was just gold for me. Those first seasons still make me feel a little queasy lol.

That's the classic simpsons style I love. Those moments that you can comprehend. When you are a child you tend to imitate behaviour and ways of thinking that you know from movies and series. This is just like some kind of reflex when you feel insecure.

You know what's crazy is that there's actually an episode of "The Wonder Years" that somewhat mirrors this scene. I am referring to episode 5.23, "Back to the Lake," when Kevin Arnold's plans for a carefree summer were ruined when his dad gave him the third degree about getting a job, and then slid him the want-ads section of the newspaper. To add insult to injury, Paul and Winnie were both too preoccupied with their jobs to hang out with him, to which they both suggested that he get one as well. *cue the "dun dun duuuun" horror music as Kevin, like Bart, is sitting there like "Were they serious?!"* Eerily enough, that episode premiered just three days before the one-year anniversary of this episode of 'The Simpsons.' I wonder if Daniel Stern pitched that storyline to TWY writers after narrating this scene, or if this is just another "Simpsons" prediction.
Ha ha, that was an hilarious scene. I can here the twang voice so vividly. Hope MG and friends know what an impact they made on our collective unconscious.
I don't know if it's supposed to resemble anyone in particular, just a greasy fast food worker. It was actually a little gag, compare the way he looks to the clean worker on the sign behind Bart.
Yeah, my issue with all cartoons today (both kids and adult cartoons) is that they are all CGI cartoons, they totally lack that beautiful hand drawn/painted artistry. Just have a look at old beavis and butthead episodes, they are all obviously drawn and painted, though not drawn well but that just makes them look funnier. The CGI cartoons of today just look sterile and lazy
I love that they even got Daniel Stern to do the voice over. Perfection.
