"Oh very well its time for your bribe. Now you can either have the washer and dryer where the lovely Smithers is standing or you can trade it all in for what's in this box".
All the original staff was gone at season 9. That alone explains a lot. It's still called The Simpsons even though it's not. Just like those Disney Star Wars, it's called Star Wars, they put the words "sith, jedi, force" in it, but it's not Star Wars.
There are some interesting UA-cam videos which detail exactly how it went to pot. Yes, most of it is just the writers with the original ideas, balance, and enthusiasm leaving the show and letting people in who didn't spend anywhere near as much time in writing. I think the new writers (though they did some good stuff) decided they could reinvigorate the show by switching it to one which was lazy and popular culture, instead of the 90s Simpsons which was written to accomplish anything BUT that
@Nils Teegen Eh I was talking about currently relevant comedians. Leno and norm are not right wing anyways. And I don't think anyone wants to claim adam sandler!
How strong is Homer? He created a nuclear meltdown without any nuclear material, then proceeded to literally shake off the radiation that was physically making him glow green.
"What the hell are you talking about" Is my reaction when people get technical with the job. The theory behind the trade is often more stressful than a procedure that requires one button to be pressed.
Alex the lion: (gasps) wake up (the mad pursuit cars snap awake & see what’s happening) Red car: INSIDE (everyone picks a pair as they scramble into the cars, Alex closes the door) Skipper: for Antarctic’s sake there 3 different colours (king Julian pops out) Julien: Sonya & some of us need to put our feet up (shows Sonya with Maurice & mort in a car without seats) Kawolski: (spots a unpainted car) radiate him (they see paint cans of green paint & join behind the rest as they launch)
I think deep down Burns had a soft spot for Homer. I mean, he defends him everytime his work ability is questioned, even though he gets paid to do practically nothing.
Realizing that when there actually was a melt down Homer's gut reaction was to reach for the manual means he's actually pretty good at his job. A lot of professions like his are trained to look at checklists during a crisis because the safety information gets updated more than their training does.
At @47 seconds burns hit his head so hard listen lol the man clearly said gaa damm.. hilarious🤣🤣 after he told Smithers two seats I like to put my feet up🤣🤣
They were from the NRC, which is a federal agency, not a state one. Even if it was a state one, the Mayor would have no authority to do anything, so why did Burns waste money bribing him?

I love how Smithers stays loyal after Burns leaves him to die.
Tbf he’s gotta put his feet up
After watching what happened, he likely just considered justice served.
Back when Cartoons didn't have to make sense, but rather focused on being funny.
I think HE moved the desk and blamed the painters.
How did Burns get back to the Power Plant?
Nuclear meltdown was caused by Homer's anxiety. He WAS the nuclear material
As someone who suffers from anxiety I can confirm this to be true
Thank you for explaining that; I would not have ever realized it.
You meant to capitalize HE, not WAS.
AKIRA
Considering how much radiation and nuclear materials he has been exposed to that makes more sense than it probably should.

I feel like Mr. Burns would be in more danger in the escape pod than in an actual meltdown
Maybe if he doesn't _fire_ the escape pod, but just hides inside of it
What’s even more crazier is how burns was able to quickly open and close that door
This is basically what happened to Tor Johnson in "The Beast of Yucca Flats".
Only Homer SImpson would cause a nuclear meltdown in a simulator and cause an actual nuclear meltdown in said simulator.

Never thought a man who dedicated his life to serving a billionaire would end up getting betrayed by him.
This is Mr. Burns we’re talking about. While he does have the odd soft moment, in the end, the only one that Burns cares about is himself.
It's hard to swallow that in 2024 Mr. Burns is actually a good boss. Most would have fired Homer on the spot.
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
Me, every time I have to deal with a student... and my boss.
Old simpsons are so good...
