I love how you can still see Homer going nuts eating the contract in the background through the security camera. Ahh, golden age Simpsons, how great you were.
I remember once queuing to get in to a nightclub back in my college days. A buddy of mine who was already three sheets to the wind was talking about the Simpsons, when he shouted out "DENTAL PLAN!" at the top of his voice, prompting about 6 others in the line to start doing the same. Once a fan always a fan :D
"He thwarted your campaign for governor, you ran over his son, he saved the plant from meltdown, his wife painted you in the nude." "Ehh... doesn't ring a bell." No wonder Homer snapped.
Our union local voted to accept $8.35 on two consecutive paychecks, in return we sacrificed paid holidays. That was not one paycheck with an additional $8.35, but two... *_TWO_* paychecks with an addition $8.35. And to think that there are people who have said that our union is full of idiots.
A hack comedy writer would have gone with the obvious route of making Homer Vito Corleone with an over the top Brando impersonation. Golden era Simpsons writers were clever enough to make Homer Don Fanuci with a donut obsession.
Lmao I was watching The Godfather II and after Don Fanucci’s scene I remembered this episode and had to come watch it 😂 The simpsons always in my mind 😅
U562 but it's prime isn't new and the standard anymore. Its different when it's on the mainstream on the regular . Shit churned out nowadays is uninspiring and shit
I run out of words when it comes to how untouchable this show was in the 90's. Great time to be a kid and learn what great comedy writing and performing was while my parents dismissed it as a dumb cartoon show and refused to watch it
The show parodied mainstream pop culture. When it became mainstream pop culture in and of itself, the parodies, political subversions and nuanced joke making were all dumbed down for the new audience.
One thing I've noticed, the same way Burns never remembers Homer after all their run ins is the same as Krusty & Bart after everything, getting out of jail, saving his show, becoming his assistant, etc... he never remembers Bart.
It's based on the Godfather, he is a Don, like Don Fanucci from The Godfather. I often wonder what it is like being a person like yourself, not getting half of life.
When I was younher and saw this a while back I thought that Crooked meant disabled for some reason so I thought homer was going to break his leg or something
When I was a little kid watching this I didn’t know what a doorstop was. I thought it was a piece of chocolate bc that’s what it looks like. I didn’t really get why homer made a such bad deal at the end 😂
The reason Homer never gets fired is because Mr.Burns always forgets about him.
What is that music
wow
Erin Walker or because it's easier for Burns just to bribe inspectors and officials than to do any cleaning house at the plant. :D
no, its because mr burns said he will have this position for his whole life
Is he new?
"Don Homer, my son, he has trouble with the uh..."
Eh eh eh eh!
Moltobene
That's a nice-a donut
cam smith Haha. Learning Latin does help. I do not know Italian, but it looks like "multo" in Latin. So, it means very well, I guess.
yep you're right
It means Very Good
"I'm gonna offer him a donut he can't refuse"
Don Vito
*Don Homer:* Woohoo!
YOOOO!
I don’t think Homer would be able to refuse any donut in the first place.
I'm gonna offer him a dough- he can -nut refuse
Leave the gun, take the donuts.
I love how Homer is not even crooked, he just wants free food 😂
That’s a crook bro
Still crooked then lol.
That's a nice a kickback.
We didnt see what he'd do if he didn't like someone's food tho lol
well the union heads eating fancy on our dollars 💸
I think we can all admit we've had the mafia boss daydream

Like Henry Hill said "being a gangster was better then being president of the United States"
I remember buying my first winter coat and felt like Don Homer.
Don’t ever put your arms through the sleeves though.
Mine is black. Looks very Corleone.
Did small business owners also bake you special donuts?
“Don Amiel, I bake-a this donut, especially for you!” 🍩
"Unless you're crooked!"
Woohoo!
Hillary's campaign manager level crooked
When I first watched this scene back in the early 90s I can remember sitting in my Recliner and laughing my ass off ......!
A la Jimmy Hoffa
If anyone watching over your rights says "wohoo" over "unless you are crooked" mayby you should change your representative...
I find so funny how Homer blesses the old lady after taking the donut. 😂
"molto bene"

Well the unions in the US were controlled by the mob in the 60s, 70s and into the 80s so it's fairly accurate.
Thats a-nice a-doughnut
Wis Dom ikr
It's-a good-ah show-ah
In latin spanish homer says "che buona donna". The thing is in spanish "dona" means donut and in italian "donna" means woman, so the joke is different
still sometimes hear this in my head if i see donuts.
Literally everything in this episode is genius.
Best Simpsons episode ever!
Season 4 Episode 17
I agree. The Simpsons were funnier back then. Not anymore.
Last Exit to Springfield was a good one.

As a curiosity, the Italian word for “donut” is “ciambella”.

Can we all appreciate Bart actually calling Homer, "Dad"?
A real rarity!
Obviously it was done to throw him off guard so Bart could scam him
Maybe he says Homer more than Dad but it's not that rare.
@@MrSniperfox29 , exactly, negotiating tactics, and Bart is clearly much cleverer than Homer.

This was the greatest Simpsons episode ever made. Probably the greatest 30 minutes in television history
Except for the 8.5 minutes of commercials. Thanks FCC!
no..
It was a good one. I also liked the one when Homer grows hair, kinda similar plotline as it involved the NPP
Yeah this one is up there. My favourite is the one where he gains weight to be able to work from home.

Italian version is of another level, we have Tonino Accolla, Great Actor and voice of Homer and is Sicilian.
That was less than two minutes and far superior to any 30 minute sitcom in existence now. I had such a lucky childhood.
To be fair that doorstop did look delicious af
That is one of the singular examples of such amazing humour in the series. Like wtf.
Don Homer deserves his own episode
Complete with Vito Corleone shooting him with a gun wrapped in a towel 😆
Don Homer (in a dying voice): D’ooohh
Lmao I was watching The Godfather II and after Don Fanucci’s scene I remembered this episode and had to come watch it 😂 The simpsons always in my mind 😅

You've only met him several hundred times 😁
I wonder if he and Richard Nixon are of any relation?

I run out of words when it comes to how untouchable this show was in the 90's. Great time to be a kid and learn what great comedy writing and performing was while my parents dismissed it as a dumb cartoon show and refused to watch it
I love the fact that he needs to tear apart some pages of the contract to destroy it, those animation details were truly underestimated.
Mmmm “Organized Crime” 🤤
Homer never had the makings of a varsity athlete
Mr. Burns needs to have thousands of pictures with Homer and his name on it
Love how Homer's idea of being a union boss is one inaccurate idea that leads to another.
The Simpson's were so good
They were back then.
Really well written episode...one of the best
“Unless you’re crooked.”
“WOO HOO!!!”
This is one of the rare moments where Smithers description of Homer are not bad 😂
"and make life long connections to the world of organized crime"
I can't find a T Shirt of Don Homer, I thought there would be some swag out there
I miss this humor in the later seasons
I love the Smithers chortle every time Mr burns thinks Homer is new or doesn’t recognize him
My God this show in it's heyday was some GOAT level shit..
The show parodied mainstream pop culture.

I think my favorite scene in this episode was when Homer punched Lenny on the back of his head. Just about the funniest thing I saw as a kid lol
Best episode, hands down. Each line is classic. And so many movie references
One of the best episodes in my opinion.

a classic, for sure

the negotiation is comedy magic

Later in the fantasy Maggie gets gunned down in a toll booth, and Lisa has Milhouse take Bart fishing for betraying the family.
When I was a little kid watching this I didn’t know what a doorstop was. I thought it was a piece of chocolate bc that’s what it looks like. I didn’t really get why homer made a such bad deal at the end 😂

That’s how the Mafia works.
