Poor Gil. I just want to give the dude a big, honest hug and slip a few hundred dollar bills in his pocket when hes distracted. And then later, burn down Stan's house.
He is many of us, always on the brink of a meltdown, a step away from doing something horrible, only because we never achieved our potential and have become overwhelmed by the minutia of being a functional member of society.
I also work in sales for a company that threatens termination of ployment or other punishments if we don't meet goals. It's a tough sell with mostly misroute calls. I often feel like Gil. Constant anxiety and fear of losing my livelihood and being kicked out of my apartment because I couldn't meet an unreasonable product rate.
Just watched Glengarry Glenross again - Shelley Levene, the inspiration for Gil. The voice, the mannerisms, everything. Jack Lemmon is incredible in that role.
@@rorz999 I agree. But I think a job with a commission fits with his personality. He's constantly trying his luck and that's why he's always down on his luck
When I was 8 years old I felt bad for old Gil, and I named a fish after him. A month later I buried him. 12 years later I'm about to buy Gil 7. Perhaps I should think of another name.
Protip for those of us who aren't in hell, coming from a certified adult: don't stick to a job that's killing you. The real strength is in honoring yourself by knowing you're worth more and better than this and getting out.
The simpsons was excellent because it had characters like this, real people onto whom life shits from a great height, and adults watching can relate to them, seeing themselves or others they know.
@@graafixzgaming6652 probably a good point for comparison. You could take homer's scene with the 'don't forget you're here forever' sign covered in pictures of Maggie, a touching moment that fathers can relate to, and contrast it with homer doing the floss, as an example of how the show shat the bed royally.

Still probably one of my favourite recurring characters. My favourite thing about him is probably how he keeps putting himself out there. No matter how many times he is rejected, he still goes for it.
He is a champion; he takes on various jobs and continues pursuing them even after facing many job loss. Many people fail, and that's the end for them. They don't try again and may become depressed, but he keeps trying and persevering through life's struggles. For me, he is a true champion.
He never does anything right,never makes any money and can’t get outta his own way but he is 56 years old and still gets hired at multiple professions.I’m proud of Ole Gil,he is still trying!!!
“Christian charity? What does a porn star have to do with this?” And “he sure does have a lot of markers that don’t work” all within less than a minute. Very good.
It’s even funnier when you see Glengarry Glenn Ross and see the Jack Lemmon character he’s based on. It really adds another layer because it’s so spot on.
At about 5 minutes in you get a really jarring glimpse into how the Simpsons changed. His voice is all wrong and the joke is literally ‘he got shot’. Back in the day the terrible first day on the job calamity to befall ol Gil would’ve been some kind of slapstick accident like a sign falling on him.
This character is too real. We all know that one guy/gal who seems to always be at the whims of misfortune, but then acts just shady or skeezy enough that you question your own sympathy.

You either know a Gil or you are a Gil.
Gil is everyone in 2020 🤣🤣
Bojack horseman.
Bill Dauterive from KOTH are pretty depressing too...
Droopy Dog is the O.G. depressing cartoon.
I love the little subtle joke at 3:25. Gil moves as if the camera pans over to him but it just completely ignores him
Even lisa doesn't care.
I'm guessing it wasn't intentional.
You see, Ralph is the punchline of this camera pan, it would feel weird to end it on Gill.
It was a directorial change after the cells were animated. They went with keeping the joke on Ralph.

One of Gil's best lines!
I love how a probably intended one-off parody of a movie character turned into a reliable recurring character. And so many people don’t even know it.
Incredible that the best Ralph line and Gil moment happen in the same clip.
Ralph was nowhere to be seen when Gil lost company payroll...
9:30 that made me laugh. “ Aw no! Why did I bet the company PAYROLL!?! Aw Gil’s in a lotta trouble…
You would be too, if you embezzled
Gil's sad origin story.
I COULDN’T HELP MYSELF WITH THAT SCENE😂😂😂😂
Gil Gunderson is probably one of the most relatable characters on the Simpsons.
Yes but he is selfish. I mean who would say yes to “ol’ Gil” and not be tortured?!?!
Based on Jack Lemmon’s performance in Glengarry Glenn Ross.
First time watching “Glengarry Glen Ross” couldn’t believe Gil was based off of Jack Lemmons character 😂
No one seems to mention this.
Had to scroll this far for a comment on Glengarry Glenross
"Who's voice is that, is that Fred, aww you said it was over. No, don't put him on. Hello Fred, heh heh heh" 😅
I never noticed how much the Simpsons family looked out for Gil
I love when “best of” is “all of”
He is a champion; he takes on various jobs and continues pursuing them even after facing many job loss. Many people fail, and that's the end for them. They don't try again and may become depressed, but he keeps trying and persevering through life's struggles. For me, he is a true champion.

“Christian charity? What does a porn star have to do with this?” And “he sure does have a lot of markers that don’t work” all within less than a minute. Very good.
Gil is my favorite secondary character. His "piranha in the tank" quip is the best.
"Ah, just what I need, another piranha in the fish tank."-Ol' Gil
Gil is one of my favorite characters. What's even funnier is that the front desk man in my apartment complex looks and acts exactly like Gil, haha
Old Gil is the hardest-working man to ever grace the small screen.
When he said "you women know how tough it is to get crankcase oil out" I died laugh. A close second was his rotary cellphone 🤣🤣
The rotary cellphone is incredible.
Gil is the reason why we understand the meaning of depression 😂
I wonder what Jack Lemmon thought of Ol' Gil.
@W W Yeah, I know. That's why I said that.
This is the most underrated character on the simpson😂😂 I die laughing every time he talks😂😭. Him and Troy Mclure😂😄
I love how at 12:16 he goes from polished and professional to how he usually looks with his tie loose and his shirt untucked
Good catch
I've been waiting for this my whole life
I spend my life saying "that's just what I need... another piraña in the tank!"
This is literally how im living. I can barely afford to feed myself at all, and just recently was able to get a roof over my head.

Is this the best of Gil or every single scene with Gil?
@J Hemphill because if this isn’t every Gil scene then we can find more Gil scenes.
Because Gil doesn't have "best" in his life...
Its both
Just watched the film "Glengarry Glen Ross" for the first time. Pretty sure Gil Gunderson based on Jack Lemmon's character, Shelley Levene.

That was a treehouse of horrow episode
I think the old Simpsons would’ve at least given him a more slapstick comedy fate
That was the funniest part though
Him getting brutally shot was the only logical conclusion tho. He got as security guard on a bank heist. And he already got his eyes taken out once.
Or something that spills on/ rips his new suit
I love it every time Gil dances XD
I started laughing before I watched the video. Good ol’ Gil.
Gil the guy who can never catch a break.
Anyone that’s worked in sales can relate to OL Gil.
XD
I feel so bad for him
He's what life does to you
"what do you use for anaesthetic?"
"a BIG mallet? oh gee i dunno.."
Gil is so broke he couldn't even afford to bleed when he was shot up by the bank robbers.
"Whose voice is that? Is that Fred? Aw, ya said it was over! Naw, don't put him on!" 🤣
Great compilation thanks
Even the holster starts bleeding once its hooked to security guard gil 🤣

Gil should be given the win for once, he's one of my favourite simpsons characters, so sad seeing his misfortune happen!
In a recent season they gave him a win for once, him and Miss Hoover got married and it didnt wasnt in service of a gag.
