You really gotta admire the attention to detail, here.. the inspectors seen in this episode are the same ones used a few seasons later where Homer has to go to college (season 5) in another inspection, minus the main guy of course.
I love how the inspector says that he'll overlook the bribe from Mr. Burns. But he can't overlook the 342 infractions that he saw and threatens to shut down the power plant. The inspector still walks away with the money that Mr. Burns shoved into his pocket.
He knew that his ¨character¨ would be so poisonous to Mr Burns he wouldn't notice that he still has the money. Either that or the money only covers him overlooking the attempted bribery.

0:32 - If you look closely, you can see the black male and yellow female inspectors from the later episode ("Homer Goes to College") when the inspectors return.
Actually it's the flag of their fictional state. Now I know about the running gag of their home state being unknown but in the episode where Burns runs for governor (a very early episode) that flag is portrayed as their state flag with the slogan, "Not Just Another State".
I love how this scene mirrors another scene in a much later season where I think 2 of those background inspectors come back and instead of bribing them with money, Burns bribes them with "The Box"
I forgot they've used the same plot point of nuclear safety inspectors twice. The other scene with safety inspectors in the episode in the later season (Homer Goes To College in season 4 or 5 I think?) is a lot funnier!
The inspector at 0:37... I remember him being in that episode where Homer finds his lost brother, he was in the team helping Homer to build.... the Homer. Nice job changing, I guess....
Mr. Smithers would be of a witness. Yes burns bribed the inspector, but the inspector took it regardless. The inspector should’ve known better & reported burns for it.
Pretty simple explanation. He siphoned off funds that would have been used to repair his power plant to line his pockets. This in turn prevented the issues from getting fixed resulting them in getting worse or breaking down. This is why it was a huge funds crash at once.
In the episode where he goes broke he says he's worth 200 million, his biography says 100 million and Smithers says it's considerably less than that. 56 million would be a huge denr even if it was 300 million.
I do not think he was a billionaire in season 2. Likely made a decent amount of his money from the tech boom-after he lost all his money in a bad gamble of historically successful products.
Question for a real simpsons fan: every purposeful detail in this show is there for a reason. whose flag is that opposite the american flag on the inspection truck ( 0:25 ) and what is it's meaning? i fell like it's some high-brow or deeply thought out jab at some country or organization...

Now I know about the running gag of their home state being unknown but in the episode where Burns runs for governor (a very early episode) that flag is portrayed as their state flag with the slogan, "Not Just Another State".
56 million is not that bad considering he probably is a billionaire at this point and time( I think) actually how much money would mr burns have at this time. I know he gets downgraded to bankrupt to being part of the billionaire club to have to having between 900 million and 1 billiion dollars.
Well, when he sells the plant to the Germans for a 100 million they estimate it would cost another 100 to bring it up to code. And Burns makes a 50 million profit buying it back from them.
darthen856 a man named Christopher Collins voices Burns in the first season. This was the first episode made production wise and probably the first time Harry Shearer voiced him. So I’m assuming he was going off what Collins did
These inspectors are probably the most realistic people in the Simpson Universe.
Well, except for Frank Grimes

Should have made the deal where they could “either have the washer and dryer where the lovely Smithers is standing, or....what’s in this mystery box.”
The box! The box!
Everyone was considerably more grounded and intelligent in the early seasons, especially season 2.
This is a different mr burns from later seasons who completely relys on Smithers for everything
Yet another example of Flanderization
To the point of even forgetting how to drive in later seasons. In this episode, he was able to drive under the influence of alcohol.
He just became older
Never noticed that after burns told the workers to be alert. The Security Officer/Guard in the Guard Shack was asleep right behind them.

I'm amazed how uncorrupted the inspector is. Why can't there be more men like him today?

He's the opposite of Chief Wiggum and Mayor Quimby! 🤣
Because the moral fabric of society has disintegrated.
There are you obviously just don't hear from them cause they do their job and hence can't be caught doing shady stuff xD
For nuclear safety inspectors, they have to be. Remember, Fukushima and Chernobyl happened because of laxed regulations.

Old seasons are SO much better!
Prefer the non computer animation and the less refined look of each character. Better writing too
exactly that, the golden age!
I find it more refined. The new versions are aesthetically poor.

I love Burns' old voice
I know, and it's also interesting that he played a random thug in one Seinfeld episode as well
Same! He sounded so...menacing!
1:03 I love how tired of Burns’ excuses the inspector is.

Maybe he was the long lost brother of the inspector.
Might be another lost brother...
0:34 The box! the box !
At last showing how it really looks when using a binocular and it took a cartoon to do it.
2:35 Just noticed the shot glass vanished in one frame
Like that he says good day right after burns tried to bribe him.
Homer can’t get there on time? The clock in the security guard hut shows 305PM! 😂
A powerplant have several shifts to keep it running around the clock. He might just started his shift but still a wierd time to start your shift at
No one seems to notice the Inspector still ends up walking away with whatever Burns stuffed in his pocket 🤣
Yes but he still going to report mr. Burns to the government lol
You may as well take money that was stuffed into your pockets by another person.
Not like he put it there himself
I think it was at least $6,000 stuffed inside.
“Hold me Smithers”
The main inspectors from Homer goes to college are here in the background
I liked how in that episode, Homer caused two meltdowns without any nuclear material.
That is one quick calculation by Smithers
Damn
I love those sounds Burns makes when he's waiting for the inspector outside of his office.
Lmao the violations are so funny! Love how their radiation meters immediately go crazy
"Look Smithers, the money and a very stupid man are still here"!
He can't expect Thousands of dollars to disappear In 2 seconds
How much can it possibly cost to fix this place up?
Approximately 56 million dollars sir
56 MILLION?!
Don't hurt me sir.
You know Mr Burn can easily afford that but in the end he is too greedy and cheap
sorenman1 that is very true there
*56 MILLION?!*
They must be police judging by a siren
I'd have taken the money then still failed him.
What's he gonna do, complain that his bribe didn't work?
Mr. Smithers would be of a witness. Yes burns bribed the inspector, but the inspector took it regardless. The inspector should’ve known better & reported burns for it.
The huge amount of respect I have for that inspector not taking the bribe really tells you how corrupt the world has gotten 😅
He took the bribe he just didn't honor it
Only thing missing is a piece of graphite from chernobyl's destroyed reactor No.4. You did not see graphite because it's not there!
I'm sorry The Simpsons didn't think fourth dimensionally for you.
"Approximately 56 million dollars sir" *"FIFTY SIX MILLION!?"* "Don't yell at me sir"
Frankly I'm impressed with the animation consistency in keeping the nukage hole from earlier when he finally hands Burns the list of violations.
Just resting my eyes
Having recently watched Chernobyl, this makes me rather uneasy.
1:46 the clipboard has a hole in it from the other part haha
I think there's an animation error. If you look at 0:17 the tie of Homer is different than the one at 1:04.
Mr. Burns : Hold me Smithers
Smithers : 😁
Isn't $56,000,000 chump change to Mr. Burns?
In the 90s, 56 million was a lot more money. It was an estimate-which means it would have cost more. He was also not a billionaire in season 2.
@@sonicmastersword8080 Back when the Simpsons was realistic, eh?
It probably would have been cheaper for him to fix the violations than run for governor, though out of character.

Different times. No social media. Oh and it's a cartoon.
Pretty simple explanation. He siphoned off funds that would have been used to repair his power plant to line his pockets. This in turn prevented the issues from getting fixed resulting them in getting worse or breaking down. This is why it was a huge funds crash at once.

So . . . did the inspector give back the money in his pockets?

interesting. why would that be ?
Its actually a flag of a fictional state where Springfield is located
