"Linguo IS dead" is the line that made me laugh the hardest from the Simpsons. The utter futility of a grammar robot using its dying breath to correct Homer, who absolutely will not learn anything from the effort, just utterly destroyed me.
"La grenouille mange le pamplemousse" - for the non-French speakers, it litterally means "the frog eats the grapefruit". What a wonderful French teacher, loved it 😂
Not to mention, was it supposed to be _le_ or _les_ ? Because only _les_ is pronounced "leh" (/le/), whereas _le_ is pronounced "luh" (/lə/). But hey, who's to say the frog ate only one grapefruit?
Now that I watched this as older, Linguo was genuinely an impressive invention, you have no idea how complex it is to make a computer understand language to THAT level, where it can take just about any construction and output its grammatically correct version.
'Linguo IS dead', is such a fantastic line at the end. He not only corrects Homer grammatically, but to the viewer shows a self awareness which makes it funny. But all the more funny is how he says it in the third person, like all those robots in fiction before. And still, he maintains his pretension and pedantry just by emphasising the 'is'. Great, just great. Clever and stupid, that's the Simpsons.
"Hey, dey's throwin' robots!" One of my favorite lines from the Simpsons. Right up there with "Homer, if you want to kill someone on your way out, it would help me a lot" and "Stupid sexy Flanders!"
Well, of course that is a possibility. But in Linguo's case, it's just a rush into my tear ducts. Not into my dick. I may be a simple man, but I'm pretty sure I know the difference between the two..
Wow why would Lisa use an ACETYLENE torch to fix delicate electronics inside of Linguo when she clearly needed a solder iron? Boy I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
As an electronic engineer when she says "quiet please some of us are trying to weld here" just irks me. If you ever go to a college electronic lab on finals most of the time it looks like a very chaotic party, so there is really no silence for you there believe me.
0:56 - 1:40 reminds me of how in my hometown of Brockton Massachusetts, we have some school buildings that share the same floorplan with each other. In particular, there's an elementary school that looks a lot like the school I went to for kindergarten (which is now a K-8 school, but its' "West Springfield" counterpart is a regular K-5 elementary school.) Though it's too bad they don't have a French class with a stereotypical Frenchman as the teacher!
@@Gravydog316 They especially do that if they are building more than one school at the same time. This happened in 2008 when they built two new elementary schools in Brockton with identical plans. I guess they still didn't have enough to hire I.M. Pei. :P
0:37 Notice the mouth movements when Lisa says "Quiet please, some of us are trying to weld." 🤔 Kind of leads some to believe that this wasn't the original line.
Linguo wouldn't have lasted two seconds in the UA-cam comments.
They're gonna eat him alive

Poor little fella.
The "in French" laugh is one of my favourite Simpsons gags. It came after the golden era too; what a great gag.
Schwarzwelder was a consultant in the episode though, so it still has the good simpson vibe.
So fantastic.

I've always loved Homer's reaction to Linguo's death, as if they were dearest friends.
They shared a drink together, that's enough. :)
He probably reminded him of Bender

I would also be correcting grammar on my deathbed.
He died doing what he loved...
So Linguo was even able to work like normal without the rest of his body?
Fun fact: in french dub of this episode, the teacher is teaching old french to the kids, so the joke would still work.

Right. "old french". More what people commonly think old french is, really.

Thanks I forgot what I was watching
Isn't everything futile
The last words of Dominique Bouhours, a French grammarian, were: "I am about to, or I am going to, die: either expression is correct."
I actually felt sad he was terminated.
IT just utterly destroyed me.

He was a Spalding Gray in a Rick Dees world.
Half as long; twice as bright.

Linguo is dead. DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT GOING TO ITCHY AND SCRATCHY LAND
DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT GRAMMAR
No, he's dead. I was his biggest fan - I even clipped his obituary.
Best comment ever!!!
And that's how Bender made a cameo appearance in The Simpsons.
Did you forget about the crossover?
Bender made a few other appearances in the show.
And that WAS how Bender made a cameo appearance in The Simpsons
And that's the story of April Fool's
He was around in Bart to the Future of the 11th season, as an episode its not great but its not a bad either
"The frog eats the grapefruit"
Always useful in a french emergency
This is definitely one of the best episodes that doesn't get overplayed with reruns.
It's a gem from the late Scully era
I dunno why but I love Lingu's little scream as Marge chucks him over the fence.
Now that I watched this as older, Linguo was genuinely an impressive invention, you have no idea how complex it is to make a computer understand language to THAT level, where it can take just about any construction and output its grammatically correct version.
It's almost unreal, like a cartoon creation.

Top 10 saddest anime deaths
Sentence fragment
This belongs on a list of the top ten saddest deaths within the medium of art commonly referred to as Anime.
"Hey, dey's throwin' robots!"

"Shut up YOUR face!"
I love this episode! It was a day in the life of Bart, Lisa and Homer separately, but their stories intertwined during the episode.
it's a parody of Pulp Fiction
The French West Springfield class is my favourite gag in the Simpsons ever
Homer was just feeding Linguo the food of his robot brethren of the future.
Teacher: "En Francais"
Kids: [Laughs in French]
That is funny AF.
That is not the way French people laugh. It’s a clear stereotype.
This is one of the most memorable episodes of the early 2000s
LINGUO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*Sniffle*...truly, he was the most essential character this show has ever seen.
"Error! ERROR!"
(explosion)
Homer: "What the hell??!!"
l still laugh over that, harder every time! lol
Yeah Homer's "What the hell!?" gets me every time.
The fact that Homers just dumpster diving on the outskirts of town. Not even near the scene.
Saaame! When i was a kid id fucking burst out laughing 🤣
-"Shut upa you face!"
-"Shut up YOUR face."
This was golden age of the Simpsons.
Eh... debabtable. But it was damn good.
Well it was *pretty* good. Mostly.
"Bad grammar overload! Error! Error!"
My thoughts after reading a bunch of comments on any given UA-cam vid
I actually get kind of misty-eyed when Linguo dies. What the fuck is wrong with me? :D
Maybe you're evil & death excites you sexually...? That's probably it...
Well, of course that is a possibility. But in Linguo's case, it's just a rush into my tear ducts. Not into my dick. I may be a simple man, but I'm pretty sure I know the difference between the two..

Brockton is also totally overwhelmed by exploding grammarbots. That's I'm glad I live in Billerica!

If Linguo's head was able to correct on its own, that means the body is just a giant battery system.
So it should be possible to repair him.
Oh yes I remember watching this episode as a kid. Linguo was definitely the star
Oh, dear, Linguo. You never had a chance in this cruel world.
Linguo and the Mob enforcers.
An unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
I know far too many people who need their own, personal Linguos.
"Hang on Linguo. You'll be up and conjugating in no time!"
Flew right over my head as a child, brilliant.
"Linguo is dead". Classic, timeless and superb writing.

RIP Linguo. Your gag was as short, but your legacy will live on in our hearts.
I can't possibly be friends with anyone who doesn't love this show. Every second of it is gold.
Linguo has a magnet for a right hand.
Lmao still makes me crack up, thnx for.sharing
Linguo freaking rules
yes he does, linguo, dead lmao
2:01 This shit caught me off guard so badly I spit my drink out
I totally forgot that Linguo set off a bunch of fireworks, I thought he just exploded with the force of a large grenade.

The way those French people switch accents on laughing was hilarious 🤣
I doubt those kids are French, as they were learning how to speak the language, so, clearly not their native language.
That, ladies and gentlemen, was the tragic story of a simple robot that loved his work.
This was one of the few great post season 10 simpsons eps
R.i.p. Linguo- I.. I never knew you were alive, until after you weren't.

Got the legendary blue Triforce of French Cuisine on the wall, I see.
