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.

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 😅
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.
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.
Because that's how they normally pronounce "-ie": movie boogie pixie eerie zombie Carnegie cockamamie commie... I think it comes as a little shock to them how Italian is mostly pronounced as it's written, which explains why spelling bees aren't a thing in Italy.
Ion Knight English is the easiest language grammarly, I don't get why Americans always think everything about them is the "best stuff", it is bullshit. Try Spanish so you know what real grammar's like, or Chinese, or mostly any other language including Italian.
Ion Knight English orthography is über simple, try Spanish, compared to it, English is for babies. I got perfect English orthography since first grade and I live in Mexico.
gib501 The guy saying English was complex wasn't saying that was a good thing. Why would you say Americans think it's "best" because it's harder to learn the language coming from certain other languages. And since you already speak Spanish learning English wouldn't be that hard for you since the languages are very similar already. EDIT: Plus the reason why English is considered harder is due to the fact that many of the "rules" can be easily contradicted in certain cases. Things aren't as concrete as in other languages.
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 😂
In the italian version the mafia's daydream scene is 100 times better, with the italian homer's dubber delivering some mafia boss level sicilian, instead of that Super Mario's kind of lame, fake italian accent. XD
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?
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

I don’t think Homer would be able to refuse any donut in the first place.

Well the unions in the US were controlled by the mob in the 60s, 70s and into the 80s so it's fairly accurate.
Literally everything in this episode is genius.

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.
As a curiosity, the Italian word for “donut” is “ciambella”.
grazie
dats a-nice-a-ciambella..
Fun fact, the original italian voice actor of Homer (who unfortunately passed away) was sicilian so his mafioso impression was actually on point.

Love that line. Just gets me. I started saying it at work. It's caught on.
That was less than two minutes and far superior to any 30 minute sitcom in existence now. I had such a lucky childhood.
Mr burns: Simpson eh?
You've only met him several hundred times 😁
I wonder if he and Richard Nixon are of any relation?
Can we all appreciate Bart actually calling Homer, "Dad"?

Complete with Vito Corleone shooting him with a gun wrapped in a towel 😆

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
I love that Mr Burns doesn't remember a single thing.
Mmmm “Organized Crime” 🤤
"Simpson, eh?"
Burns best quote lol
A danish may be a nice breakfast item, but it’s instantly gone. Homer’s doorstop will prop open doors for years to come. Homer negotiated a good deal.
