@@joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo6073 Why are all you youtube edgelords parroting this same bullshit? (generally regarded = youtube edgelords have decided this is the cool and smart opinion to have, so you write the same thing on every Simpsons related video like mindless drones)
They had the graphic ready so likely planned to try to find someone who looked most like him to do the joke but it backfired as nobody in the audience did so they just probably picked anyone with the slightest hint..which they also didn't
@crimsletons90 He has been a part of it for twenty years. It's not just the writers who create the Simpsons, it's an entire team and they're parts of the whole thing. As part of and as 'representative' of this team I feel he is allowed to accept any love for the Simpsons that is thrown at him (he didn't ask for the applause he merely accepted it gracefully). He deserves it. It wouldn't be the Simpsons without his excellent voice work!
@Jason011987 oh, my bad, i misread 'unacknowledged', I thought you meant that no one ever criticises the quality collapse. What I meant to say is that its disappointing that all this criticism of the later seasons (probably deserved) has sort of tarnished the show's legacy. Perhaps they should have ended the series several years ago.
@knaan163 I didn't say it was going unnoticed. What do you mean 'noticed' anyway? Are you saying you're sick of people being so perceptive? Or are you just lamenting the downfall? If so: 'hear, hear.'
It's like South Park at this point, it'll only be worth anything when it ends and 10 years later it doesn't look like very repetitive plots about literally anything on the paper. At least it'll be less obvious...
+pendorran I agree ...first 2 seasons were good ...season 3-12 ..extraordinary ...13-17 ...good....now , so bad its a crime. I know the $$ is still amazing but Matt should've pulled the plug in 2010 !
@brettseeney Russell Brand, Noel Fielding, John Lennon, Ricky Gervais, Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn... All pretty cool people. All seek or seeked attention.
I can't help but agree with you. The general concensus doesn't know the essence of casuality in terms of talk shows. Everyone cares too much about their appearances or how they could avoid getting a bad image, so they rely on getting on good terms with the public. I guess the difference is that people get really offended at the smallest things. Really, everyone's just blinded by their own ignorance here.
it was probably 2008-2010 when i started realizing how bad the show got cuz they updated it to have more, like, political/social/cultural commentary...like south park. it was only the past couple of years i gave the simpsons another shot. for the most part it's still enjoyable for me. Rly, only the simpsons and probably south park and family guy will be the longest running shows.
Yeah 20 years is impressive but not so much when you think that the show has gone downhill since 2000. Harry Shearer is actually being really kind to it because other times he has said that it hasn't been touching for years and stuff. I watched a new episode recently and its so tired its unbelievable. The witty, smart jokes and complex storyline it had in the 1990s is gone. Now its all about slapstick, mainly Homer just hurting himself.
@kosovanwhizkid I have to say, as someone who does absolutely not think the simpsons is any fun at all. I indeed do respect the fact that it is one of the most watched and longest living (to say it like that). So thumbs up if you either like the show or dont like it but agree with me:)
I'm so sick of the great quality collapse of season ten going unacknowledged. People should only speak of either 'The Old Simpsons' or 'The New Simpsons.'
Thats because its the highest rated comment,by reply its also a way of pointing the time difference to other voters of that comment. I just feel You've searched through the comment section just to find one you could reply to, I don't even watch the simpsons anymore nor do I remember why I cared, its just a bit of a loss to reply to me. You as a person think the simpsons went bad way before 2008, fantastic, but that infomation counts to nothing to a stranger on the internet.
@knaan163 Definitely deserved. Definitely should've ended. The only way to save it from being tarnished by criticism of the later seasons is to always insist (whenever it comes up) that the 'new' and 'old' Simpsons are fundamentally different shows.
@brettseeney but that doesn't stop people saying "Look you can't say it isn't because I think it is" The world is full of those people who mistake facts for opinions. Family Guy is a show of poor quality. That is a fact. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant. Family Guy is shit. That is an opinion built upon the fact that it is of poor quality. My opinion is synonymous with the fact to the majority of mentally stable humans.
I still watch seasons 2-7 pretty frequently. There's something comforting about it. Started watching it in 5th grade (1989).
spookypunky I watch seasons 2-14
@array s not really, season 10-18 are amazing aswell
Great call, 2 through 8 is 147% comedy.
First 9th seasons are generally regarded as the best of the lot. Changes to writers etc after that are notable in the decline in funnyness.

His normal voice is literally Principal Skinner 😂
Kent Brockman too
You’re right. I’ve just noticed.
Wow, that was a surreal experience, hearing Burns and Smithers come out of a real person.
Both those guys in the audience look 0% like Ned Flanders.
Even with the graphic superimposed on him.
Had the same reaction. Graham: "He looks like Ned Flanders"
Me: "Pff! Not even close"
They had the graphic ready so likely planned to try to find someone who looked most like him to do the joke but it backfired as nobody in the audience did so they just probably picked anyone with the slightest hint..which they also didn't
@@jacksdjfam haha thats pretty cringy
Of course they didn't look like Ned - how many human beings do have yellow skin, bulging white eyes and a moustache the size of a squirrel.
1:25 "you have the dresses and I have this" bit of an unnecessary comment, Izzard handled it well
I really want to see Graham and Conan together once
That is the dream
The Barbarian?
“You have the dresses and I have this” lol
That guy doesn't look even remotely like ned flanders what the fuck
+Henryguitar95 stupid sexy flanders
Look at Eddie and Harry getting along!
I died when he did Burns and Smithers! 😂😂😂
And then you came back to life?
Yeah, what a miracle!
Simpsons and Spinal Tap, he is an amazing artist, love the Shearer
Omg. He is so talented with voices.
That Ned bit was dumb because they look nothing alike. The guy just has a mustache, which wasn't even really bushy like Ned's.
It was good for a laugh, wasn't it?
@@joeybonin7691it was confusing
i just love Eddie Izzard!!!!
he's spent 20s years talking to himself LOL
Krusty Komedy Klassic, at Apollo theatre, in the heart of Harlem, perhaps the greatest joke in the history of television.
Yes!!! I been saying that for years!
OMG is that Handsome Dan from Wayne's World?
uh huh
like shooting fish in a barrel
Oh shit 😂 I was years old when I realised this
Isn't that right sphincter boy...
Uh - huh
I can't not hear reverend lovejoy
Boy, Ned has let himself go.
Thanks for posting.
Your indolence is in efficacious ' thats one of my favorite line of Mr Burns
OMFG NIGEL!!!!
love harry shearer. spinal tap was pretty epic. :)
Two comedy legends sharing that couch in this episode; how cool is it to hear them excitedly talk shop and share thoughts?
02:25 Is that not the radio presenter Alice Levine sitting to the right of the guy referenced here? I could've sworn it's her.
The Simpsons creators focused all their genius on Futurama during its run. Now that was a genius show all the way through.
Thus, solidifying the theory that they have access to time travel. The name of the show “Futurama” just hiding in plain sight
So glad the side swept fringe is out. I was constantly pushing hair out my eyes.

Leave it to Graham Norton to use the words “hairy” and “bookends” in the same sentence. 🤣
that kid looks more like comic book guy than ned flanders
They don't look like Ned Flanders, but the girl next to them looks like Alice Levine.
lmao What an awesome group, would love to hang out with Norton Izzard and Shearer over drinks some night, would be a great night
Sheer genius! I hope it never ends!
The Simpsons used to be absolute brilliance. It's really become crappy now, but its first 10 seasons are absolutely amazing.
As are seasons 10-18
Totally. Props to them for keeping it genius for 10 years though. That's rare!
Bit of an exaggeration. But it should have bowed out gracefully years ago.
After i watched his car show, i started liking his talkshow aswell, i guess he grew on me
2:15 that guy didn’t look anything like Flanders 😅
Wow that was such a fluid transition from Mr. Burns to Smithers!
He also voices Otto, which is kind of, "One of these things is not like the others".
SO LOVE EDDIE
The Simpsons are the best family ever!!
THat is the great Eddie Izzard....true British Comedy genius
Alice Levine was sat next to the second Flanders!
harry derick smalls shearer- is a legend! lol
The guy next to Flanders looks like Peter Griffin.

that was still long past its peak.
Imagine being set for life just by talking
It used to be genius.
+pendorran Thought that, too. Hasn't been any good for the last 15 years.

pendorran it still is at times
Simpson's RIP.
1989-1998
Greatest Simpsons joke: Krusty Komedy Classic (KKK) at the Apollo theatre, the Mecca of black entertainment in America.
@brettseeney
Russell Brand, Noel Fielding, John Lennon, Ricky Gervais, Liam Gallagher, Damon Albarn...
All pretty cool people. All seek or seeked attention.
The Simpsons really is genius especially the first 7 seasons
Is that Alice Levine @ 2:38 ? 🤔

I'd recommend Simon Singh's book 'The Simpsons and their Mathematical Secrets'
10 years ago. Dayum.
Is that Alice Levine at 2.39
He’s the only one that mainly sounds like the character he plays lol
is that Alice Levine at the end there?
BART THATS DETENTION
I never thought that I'd laugh at "Hairy Bookends"
2:39 that guy's smile reminded me somehow of Harry Potter's smile. O.O
Is that Alice Levine from Radio 1 on the left of the two guys in the audience?
Certainly looks like it
A young trucker version of Ned Flanders!! HAHAHAHA..Graham's fucking brilliant! :P
Nope.
The Simpsons were launched on FOX back in December 89.
makes with 24 Seasons EXACTLY one Season per year :)
@Martial024 Uh i know that. thanks. I meant the actor
Is there anywhere I can watch the FULL episode??? Found it somewhere on UA-cam before, but I can't find it anymore..... :S Can someone help me??
Just noticed that they were making a big deal about it being on for 20 years.... 14 years ago when this was filmed....
The same guy did the voices for Zippy and George
@kosovanwhizkid I have to say, as someone who does absolutely not think the simpsons is any fun at all. I indeed do respect the fact that it is one of the most watched and longest living (to say it like that). So thumbs up if you either like the show or dont like it but agree with me:)
funny... both graham and harry have a holiday home near my house
@00Kakkoi00 It's not as good as it's best, but it is way better than it was 5 years ago.
The creator is most definitely a time traveller
I'm so sick of the great quality collapse of season ten going unacknowledged. People should only speak of either 'The Old Simpsons' or 'The New Simpsons.'

well he could have thought it was the guy next to him that they were talking about later
Not asking anyone to care. Just sharing opinions is all.
Hello Cleveland!!
Awesome
In your opinion of course.
@knaan163 Definitely deserved. Definitely should've ended. The only way to save it from being tarnished by criticism of the later seasons is to always insist (whenever it comes up) that the 'new' and 'old' Simpsons are fundamentally different shows.
Trock On!
Does anyone know what Shearer was promoting there?
The exact words i was thinking.
@Jason011987 agreed
Just because someone has a mustache doesn't mean they look anything like Ned Flanders!
Harry was probably thinking "WTF is this idiot talking about!?"
“SkinnERR!?”
He looks more like Pablo Escobar than Ned Flanders
I think what they should have said was "The Simpsons used to be genius" xXx
Aww baby graham :3
i think the guy that graham thinks looks like ed flanders looks more like freddie prinze from chico and the man tv series from the 70's
Eddie Izzard is genius
Lmao popped collar
lol 'they're like book ends.. hairy bookends.!'
wow, i always wondered who did those voices, now i know lol
