After being poisoned, Homer vows to live his last day to its fullest. Condensed plot Season 2 episode 11 "One fish, two fish, blowfish, bluefish" One of the more heartfelt episodes
I noticed that, after making the list and eating a hearty breakfast, the top things on Homer's list were for him to spend time with his kids - even above making arrangements for his own funeral. I wish they did reruns of classic Simpsons in the UK a _lot_ more, it's just nicer to see this Homer.
@@San-cs6lk I guess what I meant was "I miss back when The Simpsons was enjoyable." I actually tried rewatching the entire show recently and the show began declining in quality in 1997 and it became borderline unwatchable by 2003
Say what you will about Homer. He’s extremely flawed: lazy, stupid, careless, and obnoxious. But deep down he has a heart of gold and is loyal to his friends and family. And that’s better than a lot of us.
They really had me to tears when Homer said goodbye to his children. Got a 3 year old to myself and I can't imagine how it must feel to say the last "goodbye" to her..
That no longer applies to the fugu fish. They are no longer poisonous to eat since they are commercially raised on a diet of non poisonous coral. So eat and enjoy!
This was a really great episode. I want to see more of Barney and Homer hanging out together; I feel like we don’t get that much, which is really weird. I also want more exploration with Abe and Homer as father and son.

I’ve been watching the whole series on Disney +. I’m currently on Season 23, and naturally I have finished every classic era episode and this one stands out as my all time favorite. It isn’t the funniest episode but it blends comedy and drama so well. Many people love “Marge vs the Monorail”, “Cape Fear”, “Last Exit to Springfield”, and others. However this episode is perfection and near the end I really teared up. Many people overlook this episode but I am in love with it.
I think that's what the manager would like you to think is an inaccuracy. In reality, a lot of these southeast Asian "legends" just bully or bribe people to spread their legend
They cut the best line. When Homer is talking to himself, “Try something new Homer. What will it hurt? “ They took out the “I never heard of a poison pork chop.” A classic line from the stomach of Homer Simpson.
Makes sense. As long as you can keep the body working until the body is metabolised and excreted. Since it paralyses the body people normally just stop breathing.
@@SirDankleberry potentially would work, But if you ate enough to be lethal and you've stopped breathing, that's only 4-8 mins. Not including the heart stopping
This episode used to make me cry. My grandfather died very suddenly when I was four and I never got a chance to have a goodbye and I like that he did all these things even if he didn't die at the end. So many never get the chance.
This is what I love about early Simpsons it could toe the line between serious and comedic. Just the tone in Marges voice when she wakes up to no Homer and the fear in her voice.
damn as a kid this was so emotional to me. I remember it made me so sad that he said goodbye to the kids while they were asleep and I really believed that he died but then the twist with the saliva I thought was really genious lol Very good episode.
This was a great episode. I had this and a dozen other episodes on video tape when I was a kid, and I used to watch it every weekend. It felt different as a kid. The seriousness of it didn’t dawn on me. Now, as a 32 year old with a wife and a kid, it hits so hard. I’m 100% sure that if I had 24 hours left, this is pretty much what I’d do. Also, I’d apologize to all the people I’ve hurt in life. But mostly this.
the homer lisa sax scene is iconic...just the shot of the house from outside hearing homer singing and lisa jamming without seeing it.....perfect scene cut...its just amazing
This missed out one of the best bits, when they first arrived at the resteraunt and give him the traditional greeting, then he screams HELLO back at them!!!
"I vow to live life to its fullest " then it cuts away to him watching TV and eating porkrinds but the funny thing is that truly is Homer living life to its fullest
I had this episode on dvd as a kid - it had this, homer grows hair and a couple others. It was honestly so harrowing seeing Homer come to terms with his mortality and seemingly inevitable death
It missed out some of the best bits. Where's the five stages from the leaflet? Homer's reaction to each is SO him and the line from Dr Hibbert gets me every time 'Mr Simpson, your progress astounds me'. Seriously, how could you cut parts out, the full scene shows how awesome the early days of the series was and had some of the best writing ever.
its sad watchin these episodes now, it reminds me of the 90s when my family would watch tv together and shows were great like this one used to be. They truly were better times.
Give it a few years till your kids can talk, then the Simpsons starts to just look like a mirror into your own reality. But yeah, episodes like Bart/Homer jumping the Springfield gorge really get you right in the stomach when you know what having kids are like!
Wow, I haven't seen this episode in over 10 years, yet watching this video made all these memories of the episode come flooding back. I thought at first I hadn't ever really seen it, but it turns out the memories were just repressed. Sooooo nostalgic.
0:52 Even though Lisa kinda deserves blame for asking Homer to try out that sushi place, he chooses to get mad at Marge because he thought she would back him up in denying Lisa her wish... Its funny how he said no one has heard of a poisoned pork chop, ITS CALLED SALMONELLA!!!!!
Watching Homer say goodbye to his kids was the most sobering and heartbreaking moment I’ve ever witnessed on The Simpsons. No matter how hard you think you are, you can’t help but fight back tears because it really shows how much he loves his family and how precious life really is.
watching this is bringing all the emotions i felt as an 8 year old kid watching this on VHS in my room at night, im the same person back then, just older and closer to death, this episode touches me deeply, life and time are so precious, i wish all of us could be here forever 😪
My dad is not the kind who plans an outing with the family, but during his last few days he was optimistic about it, I wish I wasn't a dumb kid who didn't notice what's going on. It's been 9 years.
I like this episode. It tells you not to take life for granted because you never really know when the end comes. Make the most of the time you have and live life.
Back when Homer had a heart and wasn’t a one-dimensional dimwitted sociopath
now hes just a yellow peter griffin
@@Kiror0_ Only 35+?... Those fights with Chicken took down at least a 1000.
Nah homer is still a good hearted person in the newer episodes
Cry about it.
The Simpsons were sooo much better back in these days
It's actually kind of inspiring how Homer takes it all in stride and does what he can with his family.
I noticed that, after making the list and eating a hearty breakfast, the top things on Homer's list were for him to spend time with his kids - even above making arrangements for his own funeral. I wish they did reruns of classic Simpsons in the UK a _lot_ more, it's just nicer to see this Homer.
@@hostiusasinhostilityhostil7853 If this episode aired now, most of the list would be stupid stuff like taming a cowboy chihuahua

Woah, that's legal
Yea best line of the episode 🤭
@@deadmanzghost8018 🥵
Honestly, this was a real good episode.
This was a great episode. Funny, heart warming an all around good example of the show.
Top 5 surely
definitely
one of the best
Shows his care for his family
“Good-bye; Bart. I like your sheets.”
XD :'(
So sweet 🥺
And Bart got mad for that kiss lol
@@imjoesan he should’ve smiled
I find it so sweet how most of Homer's list is to do stuff with friends and family
He might be stupid, drunk or lazy, but he has the biggest heart that any tv character could have
M
I know, right? Mine would net me life in prison if I somehow lived.
@@carlosandresgomez243 until he became jerk ass Homer...
@@jacintovski no until he became Peter Griffin
For a gag cartoon show, the emotions were top-notch
it used to be the best show on TV, i sure do miss 90s television.
This is the real Homer Simpson... he actually did die sometime around 1999
headcannon accepted.
Dude what if he died and every subsequent season is him in purgatory getting worse and worse as his soul toils helplessly
This episode's from 1991 and it definitely has that early seasons vibe to it. I really miss The Simpsons.
Wow that’s thirty years ago
M
This episode is older than me wow
You miss The Simpsons? Well it's still airing so there's nothing to miss. No, seasons don't matter. The series is still on to this day.
@@San-cs6lk I guess what I meant was "I miss back when The Simpsons was enjoyable."
I actually tried rewatching the entire show recently and the show began declining in quality in 1997 and it became borderline unwatchable by 2003
"Try something new, Homer"
"What will it hurt you, Homer?"
"I never heard of a poison pork chop!"
I was genuinely pissed off that they cut some of the best likes out of this video. It forced my hand and unfortunately it had to get a thumbs down.
@@Superintendent_ChaImers Copyright tho
I love Hibbert’s pamphlets. The “so you’re going to die” is almost as good as Marge’s “so you’ve ruined your life” pregnancy pamphlet.
i’ve realized it’s a reoccurring joke, i see it a lot throughout the show!
'So You Decided To Steal Cable'
I think it was a 1980s/1990s thing
M
I think it's better.
As a kid this was a good episode.
As an adult with a wife and daughter this episode broke me.
When the menu has a map you know something is going to go wrong
going to go... *WONG*???
I'll show myself out...
Why? What if it was a map to Disneyland?
@@goblinoide Then you arrived to Hell
M
Easiest way to deal with the situation:
"Sorry Sir, we've run out of Fugu"
I think so too. But Homer was pushy. lol
There’s a lot of honour in Japanese culture, maybe he couldn’t bring himself to lie? That’s the most tenuous answer I could come up with!
That would have been a short episode.
M
Running out? In America?
Say what you will about Homer. He’s extremely flawed: lazy, stupid, careless, and obnoxious. But deep down he has a heart of gold and is loyal to his friends and family. And that’s better than a lot of us.
He was different back then, before the writers turned him into a landfill of brain-dead slapstick jokes.
But he is not a Communist!
They really had me to tears when Homer said goodbye to his children. Got a 3 year old to myself and I can't imagine how it must feel to say the last "goodbye" to her..
i hear ya brother :(
That no longer applies to the fugu fish. They are no longer poisonous to eat since they are commercially raised on a diet of non poisonous coral. So eat and enjoy!
Oh that’s really cool
Btw, if you get to the hospital in time you will be put under breath aid until the poison dissipates.
Thank you all. Learned something new today :)
Nah fuck that, I'm dying
The whole purpose of the fugu for many customers is not the fish taste, but Precisely the thrill, that there is a tiny chance of dying from that.
2:05 i love the running joke of homer’s 5 o clock shadow growing back seconds after shaving
All the paper pieces falls of right as it happens too
Relatable
"My skilled hands are busy!" Lol
YOU DO IT!
M
Come's back and see the fugu charts....OH NO!!!!
*japanese*
0:31 The "OH NO" followed by the vaguely Japanese soundbite kills me every time.
Same with my brother and I as kids. Would imitate it all the time in any situation.
More like OH LOH!
This was a really great episode. I want to see more of Barney and Homer hanging out together; I feel like we don’t get that much, which is really weird. I also want more exploration with Abe and Homer as father and son.
What in gods name am i looking at on your pfp e.e?
@@Fiery_Latina_Goatchan_GF_681 girl from my hero academia. Actually a good anime until season 3. Just a few “ecchi” characters.
I wish the Simpson behaved again like actual human beings.
Which episode was it?

Ah, he skipped a bunch of items on his bucket list to spend more time with his dad.
I wonder if he went to Flanders BBQ in the end
allegedly that was the original ending that Homer had to do the things he promised to do after hes alive like deal with Burns and Flanders but they chickened out
@@CutterHistorical wouldn’t have minded a part 2 then
As much as it is likely he would try to avoid it, the food alone would move him.
That really should have been the ending.
The bit between Homer slumping in the chair and Marge realising he's alive still makes my chest feel like lead.
2:05 His hair grew back in a heartbeat

M
My favorite is, Season 23 Episode 9, Holidays of Future Passed
My favourite one is homers enemy
The saddest episode in my opinion is when Lisa has the substitute teacher Mr Bernstrom, i cry everytime.
My dad passed some years ago so this episode really hits home for me, be good to your loved ones, it matters :)
😔 sad 😞
😑😔
man honestly lived a pretty great last 24 hours
A Japanese manager sacrificing his professional duty for a sexual relationship? That's got to be the biggest inaccuracy in the Simpsons...
It was miss kraboppal, u only get one chance with her
@@mikesirman3148 Krebapple? Oh, I've been calling her Krandal! I've been making an idiot of myself!
It's the chef.
I think that's what the manager would like you to think is an inaccuracy. In reality, a lot of these southeast Asian "legends" just bully or bribe people to spread their legend
I dont think so with maid cafes
That moment when Bart just assumes a spanking!
They cut the best line. When Homer is talking to himself, “Try something new Homer. What will it hurt? “
They took out the “I never heard of a poison pork chop.” A classic line from the stomach of Homer Simpson.
"Fun" fact:
It's actually rather easy to survive fugu poisoning, as long as you can be connected to a heart-lung machine for the time.
Makes sense. As long as you can keep the body working until the body is metabolised and excreted. Since it paralyses the body people normally just stop breathing.
@@SirDankleberry potentially would work, But if you ate enough to be lethal and you've stopped breathing, that's only 4-8 mins. Not including the heart stopping
@@absolutez3r019 That's why you'd have a machine breathe for you.
@@SirDankleberry I agree with you 100%. I'm just saying you'd need to machine right by you

No joke, this episode makes me enjoy life.
Me too
this episode made me cry so much even
just watching this makes the tears run down my face
Same
How is nobody talking about Homer and his dad spending time with each other??
This video almost made me cry
Yeah. Almost
Same
lol
My eyes are certainly not wet now!
I cried and I have dry eyes
This show used to be incredible. Such a shame but glad we still have the old ones.
The fact he managed to properly create fugu is just knowledge and luck
I was wondering if anyone else would notice that. That man deserves a raise, and should also never prepare fugu again.
I like how Homer's scruff grows back within one singular frame
Back when the simpsons actually made us feel things
AYOO!! Homer ran home to beat it down one last time. He’s the realest on GP.
"I can read Marge like a book....ooooooooooo it's good news, isn't it?" ahaha
This is what I love about early Simpsons it could toe the line between serious and comedic.
Just the tone in Marges voice when she wakes up to no Homer and the fear in her voice.
A touching episode from the Simpsons. We need more.
This was really wholesome
damn as a kid this was so emotional to me. I remember it made me so sad that he said goodbye to the kids while they were asleep and I really believed that he died but then the twist with the saliva I thought was really genious lol Very good episode.

Remember when our parents thought the simpsons was a bad influence ?
Now look at it...it's more wholsum than Sunday school
You can find more good jokes in an old episode like this than in any of the new ones, that's for sure.
Very few things in life are able to make me cry. This is one of those things.
This is the kind of stuff the Simpson's are missing these days.
I'm crying at 3am on the toilet because I was blindsided by the heart of a god damn Simpsons video
I literally spat my drink out when Homer said “Goodnight Bart.... I like your sheets?” Hahah 😂😂😂
When the Simpsons had soul and heart
I still can't get over that they almost killed Homer, glad it wasn't the way
One of my favorite episodes it is one of the few TV episodes that actually made me cry at the end
the homer lisa sax scene is iconic...just the shot of the house from outside hearing homer singing and lisa jamming without seeing it.....perfect scene cut...its just amazing
This missed out one of the best bits, when they first arrived at the resteraunt and give him the traditional greeting, then he screams HELLO back at them!!!
I remember this episode giving me an existential crisis at like age 9
I love this episode. Season 2 is my favourite season. So warm and captures genuine family togetherness.
I think the cook became the chef.
Additionaly this was one episode that stays in everyone's mind
"I vow to live life to its fullest " then it cuts away to him watching TV and eating porkrinds but the funny thing is that truly is Homer living life to its fullest
5:30
2:05 I like how homer’s beard grows back instantly
I got goosebumps throughout this episode
This episode is a classic
I had this episode on dvd as a kid - it had this, homer grows hair and a couple others.
It was honestly so harrowing seeing Homer come to terms with his mortality and seemingly inevitable death
We will remember you homerrrrrr!
Oh wait never mind
awww larry king

I really need to re-watch the first 4 seasons now I'm a dad.
Give it a few years till your kids can talk, then the Simpsons starts to just look like a mirror into your own reality. But yeah, episodes like Bart/Homer jumping the Springfield gorge really get you right in the stomach when you know what having kids are like!
A moment of silence for all the brave souls who died so we could figure out which part of the pufferfish won't kill you
Wow, I haven't seen this episode in over 10 years, yet watching this video made all these memories of the episode come flooding back. I thought at first I hadn't ever really seen it, but it turns out the memories were just repressed. Sooooo nostalgic.
As a kid, this episode really had my mind rolling about my own mortality
This is really good way to live your life. Live it as it was your last day.

Best episode. Saturated in quality jokes and a great message to top
