- How alarmingly similar this is to the situation on the Gold Coast with the hoax cruise ship terminal proposal and associated casino rort. Every Australian should stand up and take not of what is happening to the city's own Central Park and marine park.

I thought Lisa was going to take him down with that question. But, a good salesman can spot a weakness in every audience. Stroke the smart girl's ego, and move on to the paste-eating kid for the next question. Pure genius.
Though he’s the stereotypical slick salesman, spitting game at Ms Hoover, he’s not meant to be stupid...it’s a wonderful bit of writing that explains more about his character and why Springfield fell for his stories than any later season could do in a WHOLE episode!
I saw Music Man recently and I understand why this character can even charm the most intelligent person.
I like how he struggled more with the Superman question
Yeah...it takes a certain type of person to be this way...some might call them "sociopaths" lol. I've tried hard in sales to do shit like this, but I have this stupid conscience that doesn't let me sell people shit they don't need. I'm even a recovering 8 year heroin addict and I've never been able to straight out lie to someone to get money to feed the addiction. I've only hurt myself along the way. It's about the only "good" I can hold onto in regards to my drug use, at least I've never gone out of my way to steal or hurt anyone...only myself (selling my shit, going 10 miles out of my way and getting physically hurt).
You just know that was Ralph
I like Lisa acts like an actual smart little girl here: she can phrase an intelligent question with big words, but she’s still a child and easily distracted by a compliment. Makes her feel like a real character instead of a mouth piece.
This is back when they actually cared about the characters. Now it’s one big political message.
Uhhhhh, the Simpsons has always been very political lol. They simply ran out of quality content over 20 years ago and the writing staff are no longer the same. It’s got nothing to do with “political message” lol.
@@benkidda301 right
Let's not pretend the old episodes didn't have the Republican Party in a Dracula esque villain castle lmao
@@symphomaniac was a lot less slanted then though, remember “I just thought the democrats were in power again” or “you can’t keep the democrats out of the White House forever”
@@symphomaniac The problem with the current show isn't that they make fun of the Republicans. It's that they *don't* make fun of the Democrats.
Here on the last days of Conan's talkshow. What a wonderful career he has had, bringing countless laughs over decades to millions.
He was on the team of the best writers for Simpson’s!
His career will continue on HBO Max :-)
Hopefully he goes back to the Simpsons writing room for a while
@@TheBonebreakers29 it needs him!
The more I study urban planning, the more I see this scene play out in real life
You wanna bring it to people's attention, you should write a song like that guy
I so wish more urban projects were public transit instead of pouring money into car infrastructure.
@@AserHapi But the issue is that the US spend money into terrible public transit, complains about their inneficiency, then pour even more money into cars because "its clearly the better option" when they havent even started to exploit other options.
Our residents were never consulted by our transit overlords before they did almost exactly this (minus the opposums). Just a bunch of lying crooks.
As much as Walt Disney was a trailblazer his idea for Monorails being the future of transit was horrible and made him just as bad of a "Tech Bro" as Elon Musk's Las Vegas car loop. Conventional rail is far superior compared to both.
Marge: "I still think we should've spent the money to fix Main Street".
Homer: "Well, you should've written a song like that guy".
I lost it
+Joseph Gregory *what do you want me to be about it gesture*

"Well, you should've written a song like that guy" - said by every Trump supporter.

Yojimbo hahahahahaha
I love how he can't answer Lisa's question so he just charms her instead. Classic.
The more telling thing is that she fell for it!
Like Honest John and Gideon tricking Pinocchio, all you got to do is appear nice, sweet and complimentary to anyone and they become putty in your hands. Biggest reason I still love science, it will never lie to your face unless corrupted by biased people.
He can't answer it if he wants his scheme to come to fruition. It's still correct to say that he can't, at least in the context of the character's motivations. He could, but then the episode would be over. So I think he can't...
Man, I am pedantic.
Chaos Omega well even if he did it's not like people would listen to a an eight year old girl
Frankly he could have whispered that he and her both knew it was a pointless waste of money, and it would not have effected the overarching plot at all.
Man, Phil Hartman really was a great actor, he really knows how to make this shady shyster seem upbeat and friendly while swindling the entire town. I miss him...
You can just see Phil Hartman’s smile through his vocal delivery. A comedic genius taken way too early.
the person that took him was bad. very very bad.@@breezingby2611
Much like Jack Carson!
Rest in peace, Phil Hartman. You gave us so much joy, including some of the best characters on The Simpsons
Ralph: can it outrun the flash?

+Yimello why?
***** Conan O'Brien wrote this episode and this song.
@+soli not really he stole the idea from "You Got Trouble by the Music Man"
***** He didn't steal it. He was paying homage to it.
Lots of the Simpson's humor came from lifting older sincere entertainment and placing it into the cynical modern 90's reality. Itchy and Scratchy, The Garbage Man, Amendment To Be, etc etc etc.
Honestly, that type of meta humor was pretty big in the 90's in general (Beavis and Butthead, MST3K, Space Ghost, Ren and Stimpy, etc). The rise of media-obsessed media was part of the whole scare that tv was creating a generation of idiots who didn't know anything but television. But it also led to the rise of independent film, music, animation, etc, which is where we got guys like Tarantino, Smith, Rodriguez, and the rest.
"Sorry mom the mob has spoken" - such an underrated line.
I think it is rated appropriately.
"the" - such an underrated use of the word

This is Elon Musk selling hyperloop idea to the public, i'm sorry reselling because it's been sold before and it collapsed just like this one will.
Yes let's stop innovation because of a cartoon 😄
@@yatesy117 Because it is a scam. Elon Musk propsosed the idea in an attempt to quash high-speed rail, which would theoretically sink the profits of his car company. He has no intentions on following through on making a system that would make people’s lives better with transportation infrastructure, even after being paid by the California government.
Musk does this a lot. He did this in Vegas with his Boring Company tunnels, another scam that only served to sell his cars without fixing the problem it was supposed to fix. It’s happening again in Florida, where the ground is too unstable to provide a tunnel safely. He does this with Tesla stocks all the time as well, manipulating stocks to benefits himself.
So stop being such a meatrider for a billionare who does not give a single fuck about you.
@@yatesy117 the hyperloop was a failure, and elon musk is a hack that doesn't come up with any of the things he claims to make. you know this, but you deny it all because you wanna be part of a club that makes you feel smarter than you are.
@@yatesy117 Tunnels have been around for centuries
The big California monorail is a btter example. Massove government waste of money.

I'm not going to lie, I thought it was an exaggeration, but holy hell, everything Phil Hartman touched was gold

I have to agree.
Also, much credit for the Scarlet Crusade portrait.

Phil Hartman is a legend. Dude made everything funny. This show went down hill without him. His side characters were always golden

@@UltraHylia that would have Been The Most hilarious Scene in The while series
One of the best songs in any TV show of all time. I remember watching this live when it aired and up to now it’s still one of the best works of Conan O’Brian as a writer. If you’re having a bad day, you can’t go wrong with Phil Hartman singing in the Monorail episode.

"But Main Street's still all cracked and broken!"
"Sorry, Mom, the mob has spoken!"
My favourite part of the song....
2:23 is a great scene. He's such a smooth con-man he can even get someone as smart and critical as Lisa to side with him. That's some great salesmanship right there--see immediately what flatters a person and then quickly use charm to make them melt like butter. From the looks of it, he's also handsome with a 1000-watt smile. That helps a lot when you're conning people.
I love how he reveals just how "critical" Lisa is by flattering her intelligence. This is so true for a lot of pretend eggheads.
The best part is that there IS a good answer to Lisa's question ("a monorail would help Springfield become a walkable city that is good for social cohesion, small businesses, and anybody who can't drive a car") but that wouldn't be sexy and charming.
@@AserHapi A monorail cost a tons to build, and even more to make it works. You would need everyone to use it as often as possible to make benefit, and even then, you would still need to pay a ton to repair it every so often. There's a reason no one build monorails anymore. A better options are bus or trolleys, as you lower the cost by a lot and they are more polyvalent. But you would need to incentivize people to use other options for it to work.
Also, they're just not enough people in Springfield for it to be a good idea, and everything is close enough for the car to be a better way of transportation rather than a monorail.

Name's Musk. Elon Musk
And I come before you good people tonight with an idea probably the greatest... oh it's not for you it's more of a los angeles idea
Today he returned as Elon Musk
lol... "Hyperloop, hyperloop, hyperloop..."
Elon Musk is the head of several pretty decent companies, but I agree. Hyperloop is still a crap idea. Letters in a vacuum tube is fine, Humans, well...
Not going to deny that. That is true.
***** oh --- and he merged one cash furnace, SCTY with ANOTHER, TSLA...lmfao
+GroundHOG2010 Yeah, keeping so many kilometres of track under vacuum is impractical. The tubes would expand and contract under the sun, adding up to several kilometres over its entire length, requiring some telescoping system or another way to manage this, while also somehow maintaining a vacuum. If the tube were to rupture ANYWHERE along its length, it would suffer catastrophic damage on that section, and send air down the line and several hundred kilometres per hour, killing anyone riding it, and taking the whole system out of action for the duration of repairs. It would be a major target for terrorism, costing them an absurd amount of money in security, not to mention building and maintaining it. On top of all that, the only test we've seen from Musk so far is a conventional maglev train going along a few meters of track.
"you there eating the paste". Can only be one person

R.I.P. Phil Hartman classic conan
I’ve read that the song (and the episode) is a full-on parody of The Music Man (specifically parodying the song “Ya Got Trouble”), and Lyle Lanley is basically Harold Hill.
Just look the song up on UA-cam, even the outfit is the same.
That is correct according to Conan O’Brien (who wrote the episode).
"Can Superman outrun the Flash?"
"Eh, sure. Why not?"
Now THERE is proof the man is a huckster.
Hehe...mule.
Duneedon. M
I miss Phil Hartman he was the only one who could pull of a song about a monorail
And Conan O'Brien wrote it and this episode
This episode taught me never to trust public-private partnerships. Bless you, Conan O'Brien.
Replace monorail with Tesla.
Best. Episode. Ever.
The Hyperloop
Tesla Tunnel.
Musk if he was charismatic
This is where Simpsons has it all over 'Family Guy' - the Simpsons writers can make a clever parody OF 'The Music Man,' that sounds like it without being a blank imitation and fits into the story.
McFarlane, on the other hand, can never do anything but rip the music off and add his own bad lyrics, and stick his numbers into totally random moments so they add nothing.
+William Craig "This is where Simpsons *had it all over 'Family Guy'"
FTFY
No. The Simpsons may be less than half as good as they used to be, but I say they're STILL ten times better than anything McFarlane can come up with.
"Less than half" is too generous of a comparison. And the divide between neo-Simpsons and McFarlane's stuff is way more blurry than what most people think.
The Simpsons is better because they're still about the characters. McFarlane's characters are all basically the same.
William Craig Au contraire, it's all about out-of-characters and self-impersonating celebrities.
Simpsons perfectly predicted Elon Musk and the Boring Companys tunnel.
This is still one of the greatest The Simpsons -episodes, and it was written by Conan O'Brien. Pure classic!
Also thanks a lot to the late Phil Hartman who was a great talent.

Actually, apparently they confirm in a later episode that he is in fact, still alive. But any Phil Hartman character was retired upon his death.

I’ve always wanted to walk up to Conan O’Brien and deadpan ask him three questions about monorails. “Conan, when it comes to monorails, is there a chance the track could bend? Conan, what happens to the unemployment rate for brain dead slobs if my city were to install a monorail? Conan, aren’t monorails really loud?” In my scenario he would politely and matter of factly answer all the questions, I’d thank him, we’d shake hands, he would admire my questions, and I’d admire his catching the Simpsons references without prompting.

@@golden-63 hyper… D’OH
A monorail isn't an inherently bad idea; I live in a city that I think would benefit from it through the downtown corridor, but it's always a good idea to get bids and vet those trying to sell it to you. Safety inspections are probably wise too.
Well, monorails are still overpriced and underperforming compared to every other kind of public transit rail, like light rail.
Elon Musk and the Hyperloop...
The opposite is happening in Austin. Every time they try to bring light rail to the city, someone starts singing about adding lanes to the congested parking lots called freeways in the city, and everybody gets on board. Even better, the suckers applaud adding tolls to the new lanes, so we pay for roads we already had.
Its like Elon Musk and reddit.
Lmao when Patty and Selma say 'monorail.' gold
Simpsons predicted Elon Musk years ahead of Hyperloop and Boring Co.
Monorails existed for decades sounds like you are obsessed with Elon Musk.

Phil Hartman was the best on the Simpsons, period. May he RIP
