I want to read Alan Moore's heroin-addicted, non-radioactive, jazz critic version of Radioactive Man
Who WOULDN'T want to read it?
basically miracleman
Anthony Fantano
@@stebanpulido I laughed way too hard at this.
Alan MOORE is a HACK who's most successful stories are with characters others created. Except for V for Vendetta. Also the Killing Joke is SHIT.
I am convinced that the producers didn't give Alan Moore a script. They just showed up at his house and recorded him talking.
0:58 just Alan Moore ranting as a commercial for the HBO series plays before his UA-cam video
Including him singing the Little Lulu theme?
@@nithinrocks6252 *3½ hours of snyder's.
Just as bart here represents him 😛😛😛😛

They did something similar with Jeff Goldblum and Ragnorak
“Maus is the the haus” still gets me everytime.
And he's so happy when he says it to boot.
Please explain, why it is funny? Don't get it
@@annaraevskaya8802Maus is a dark WW2 drama, but here it is being treated like a cheesy 40s superhero. Plus it rhymes.
Dark is an understatement tbh@@dexstewart862
How the writers depicted Alan Moore's abilities is absurdly unrealistic. In real life, he would have incinerated Comic Book Guy with his sorcerous powers.
Alan Moore didn't want the writers to give away his secrets
Indeed
That would've been so much more fitting. Like when they gave Stephen Hawking a rocket chair.
Ah yes, he is a wizard chaos after all
No, he would've donned his vestments of ceremonial/higher magick, spent several hours selecting the correct grimoires, imbibed a substantial amount of psychedelics and embarked upon a seven-hour scrying session utilising the enochian System of John Dee and Edward Keller in which Comic Book Guy's Guardian Angel is revealed to him; quick blood magic ritual to sever their connection and boom--Comic Book Guy walks out of the "hipster" shop and gets killed by a school bus. Driven by you-know-who.
Someone like Alan Mooore being calmed down from such a wholesome comic such as Little Lulu is so funny.
While he’s standing in front of a poster of Lost Girls, no less.
There is something magic about the idea of Moore calming down by reading Little Lulu.
It's kinda cute lol
He's a simple man
I'm finding out just now that it might also be in reference to a comic he made with a feller, coincidentally named, Don Simpson, and the comic itself is called Pictopia which is about the lives of comic strip characters, and an analogue of Little Lulu makes an appearance in it.
He loves mellow, whimsical comics. A good amount of the indy work he has praised and recommended over the years are these short british slice of life comic strips like Posy, The Suttons, and stuff by Ken Reid.
i like how moores speech is literally how he feels about dc's reboot of watchmen.... literally almost a decade into the future
Jose Lopez Mendez sort of. It's more on how his comics get adapted to other media
And, as of January 2018, the appearance of his and JH Williams III Promethea from ABC Comics...
Wasn't the Watchmen Movie a near complete play by play of the comic like Moore Fams wanted. Seriously Zack Snyder did justice to the comic
I'm surprised he didn't say anything bad about DC using his Watchmen characters for the storyline 'Doomsday Clock' which sees the likes of Superman encountering Dr.Manhatten, who was responsible for the new 52 reboot.
scifiguy9000 Moore knew that DC Comics strip mining the Watchmen was inevitable; I haven't seen him pass comment on Doomsday Clock or news that Promethea and Tom Strong have been integrated into the regular DC Comics universe because he knows it would have happened sooner or later. Which it did, with the Before Watchmen nonsense and before that, characters from his 1980s Tales Of The Green Lantern short stories popping up in recent Green Lantern storylines (by Geoff Johns). Note that nothing like this happens with Neil Gaiman. My interpretation of this is that Moore's stuff is so high profile, so prestigious and so damn good above and beyond anything else written by anyone who came after him that the temptation to pilfer it is irresistible. I don't purchase these knock offs myself but that's my choice.
Honestly amazing they got Alan Moore to voice himself, especially on the topic of Watchmen
Probably how they convinced him
Moore likes the Simpsons a lot, actually.
Jose Gregorio Bencomo Gomez I had no idea, I was talking in reference of how vocal Moore is, it’s nice to see him poke fun at himself
I’m surprised, looking at the guy and his work I’d expect the only shows he’d watch to be overly gritty dark dramas
@@griffinbailey7423 a writer of his level would have to have a certain kind of self awareness i suppose
Making Radioactive Man a heroine addict is definetely something he would do.
Marvelman docet
I’d be surprised if he didn’t include some absinthe at some point
Followed by him selling the rights to it. Then complaining about how the corporation ruined it even though him and his legal team ensure that he keeps getting royalties out of the cash grabs he hates so much.
I take it sticking to your principles as a creator is more of a statement rather than a practice Alan? That is as long as the green keeps rolling.
@@stealthynaxo Moore gets no royalties from the Watchmen spinoffs or sequels Before Watchmen, Doomsday Clock, The Tom King Rorschach comic etc
or the movie & HBO series,
He gets some money from the trade paperbacks which he's entitled to, and everything else goes to Dave Gibbons & John Higgins.
Alan MOORE is a HACK who's most successful stories are with characters others created. Except for V for Vendetta. Also the Killing Joke is SHIT.
Alan Moore's frustrated sigh was one of the funniest things I have seen in The Simpsons in a long time.
Since this episode aired DC has made: a Watchmen movie, a Watchmen motion comic, a 2 part video game, 9 prequel miniseries, an HBO sequel and a 12 issue comic sequel that serves as a crossover with the DC universe. I think Moore may have been right lol
AND NOW ... we have a Rorschach sequel comic book
@@Beantbeantbeant I’m actually liking the new Rorschach comic.
The movie was pretty good.
@@HobGungan Nah, Snyder Crap.
Well, still waiting for Watchmen Babies.
maus is in the haus
I literally read maus I and II before I saw a clip with this scene
Holy Heavens! Is that a meteor heading for the Earth?
with Dan Claus
megapants444 is was pretty cool comic I loved reading it as a kid
@@fm.3549 same,
My middle School teachers gave me 2 of the mause book's
Honestly props to Ralph for being into Maus. Surprising but awesome.
Ralph may be weird, but he has **taste** damnit
How much you wanna bet he only bought the book because it has mice in it 😂
@@rupertbourget7739 The mice told him to burn things.
My Swedish teacher was so into Maus that we all got to read it. She’s leaving our school, along with us in a bit and most of us all may never meet again, so I want to thank you all for compounding my bittersweet feelings I am having at the moment.
I'm surprised Alan Moore and Art Spiegleman did this, good to see they have a sense of humor
Art did RAW Magazine, he definitely does.
@@PiroKUSStrue though I know he also struggled somewhat with his success with Maus and to see him make a joke connected to it is surprising
@@animationfanatic2133 He never stops talking about Maus, he should shut the fuck up and make more comics more often lol he has a unique voice
Moore genuinely seemed really into his performance; like, he was having fun here
But Alan Moore never answered the question, which of the Watchmen babies is his favorite?
Dr Manhatten
Rorschach
Ozymandias
Nite Owl II
Definitely not Rorschach. Moore said in an interview that he gets scared whenever someone at a convention tell him how much they identify with Rorschach.
Glad to see Alan Moore like LIttle Lulu too.
I love that bit.
Do you think he really does in real life?
@@Nightshift10000 Knowing about his life and his work...it's entirely possible.
Nightshift10000 the guys gotta have a happy place after all
There’s gotta be a soft and gooey centre in that tough and terrifying exterior somewhere
Dan Clowes: "Hey random little girl, do you have any contacts that could get me to write Batman?"
Also Dan Clowes: *is sitting at the same table as Alan Moore*
There is some truth to Alan Moore's angst towards comic book corporations/industry. He had rough between the 1980s and 1990s, namely DC Comics and his time at Image Comics.
Alex Phillips The first years of Image Comics were not good. It would take time for them to actually create unique and original ideas rather than repeat the same dark aesthetic over and over.
But then there's the moments when he says all of his most successful and critically acclaimed comic books are crap.
Guanglai Kangyi, Age 15
All of them? Nah, Just some of them.
He may dis The Killing Joke and some of his early Dr Who comics
but he'd never put down From Hell or Lost Girls or TLOEG or Providence.
Didn’t art spiegelman also have angst towards corporations, I remember in the second maus book he’s sitting on a desk stressing out because these corporate fellas won’t leave him be
Patrick Ramirez I feel that was just his reaction to the saturation he felt receiving so much attention for Maus. Although it was never really about the holocaust, the second volume did concentrate more on him.
Mr Toriyama would you sign my dvd of Dragon Ball Evolution?
Mr Toriyama will you sign this picture of Blue Mr Popo?
Mr. Toriyama, would you sign my copy of Dragon Ball GT?

....Would you sign my English dubbed copy of dbz.
Would you sign my Dvd of dragon ball super?
Ripped and shredded Alan Moore gets me every time!
I love how the poster behind Moore that represents his work, is Lost Girls. Which to its credit is the classiest pornographic comic I've ever read.
thnx dude ill add it to my reading list.
Good to know...
I am 100% there is a japanese contender, I just can't think of anything except absolute queen
I believe he even has classified it as pornography.
The art style of that comic is one of the bizarre thing I ever seen in my life LOL
As a comic book junkie who has met many an author; this is dead accurate 😂
It's certainly true of a couple artists I've met (Greg Capullo is probably even more ripped in real life).
Bart’s take on Moore’s Radioactive Man is how I felt about reading the Killing Joke as a 6 year old
Alan Moore has by far the best line delivery of the three of them. So good!
Maus is such a great story.
brokennarcissist really? The nazis?
It's not about the Nazi's its about the Holocaust and how Art's father survived it. But yeah, its somewhat about the Nazis. It's a great book.
VotableSmile427 the guy that I commented to deleted his reply so there's no point staying here

I love the fact that Ralph read Maus.
You know, all things considered, Alan Moore seems to be a very chill guy in real life.
the more i read about him the less chill he seems.
I can say that I am a fan of Art Spiegelman and his work, and I don't know what to think about this 😂
I guess all I can say is:
*MAUS IS IN THE HAUS*
(How do you like this punchline?)
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Especially with the source material of Maus.
Dear God. Have you no taste?
D'angelo JacobHymenShits
It's a joke
Chris Ward its called sarcasm.
Art Spiegelman -a man who made a career off of an event that did not happen.
really it is that Moore is voicing yourself?
Yes it is, he even talks about it during this interview ua-cam.com/video/2J8vwaTokY8/v-deo.htmlm55s
Apparently he's a fan of the show.
Alan Moore Archive
A side note, apparently there was a plan for Moore to sing the Little Lu Lu song in a Shakespearean manner over the credits but it either was scrapped or was never done.

Would love to find out if it actually exists somewhere.
I would kill to see that. :-)
yes
I choose to believe that Alan Moore is genuinely that ripped
This was Jack Kirby every time nazi's showed up at his office
My favorite story of jack kirby, what a fucking king
@@dannyfenlon2476 the best and only way to deal with them
I don't know what I find more difficult to believe, that Alan Moore guest starred in The Simpsons or that they actually promoted Lost Girls in the process.
Art Spiegelman is one of the most beloved comic book writers I've met!!!
Zdraste from Russia, "Maus" a unique and the best comic book about the tragedy in the Holocaust!!!
Translated by translator, and how else, if I do not understand English
Someone actually give Dan Clowes a shot on some Batman. I’m always open to see what new artists can do with him. And as a guy that loves details I’d love a real version of that layout of his utility belt.
Huh! That's quite a prediction.
I'm so pissed; my mom tossed my Watchmen Babies DVD when I left for college.
That's the worst! Hopefully you were able to get another copy from Amazon or EBay. ;D
"Maus is in the house” oh Speigleman, I love you so much
Imagine how he felt getting beaten up by his heroes
Totally lost it when the Comic Book Writers beat the living snot out of Comic Book Guy.
*sniff* I know... it brings a tear of joy to my eye every time!

Alan Moore after seeing Watchmen being milked again.
HBO Watchmen is more respectful to the comics than the 2009 movie.Accept that.
@@arthursouza9641
Oh it definitely is. I did like it.
I just wish Watchmen was left as is and never adapted into anything nor made a part of main DC continuity.
This is the happiest you'll ever see Alan Moore.
They gave him abs and let him freely rail against the comic industry’s greedy impulses. How could Moore not be happy?
Fun fact: Little Lulu in 1995 was voiced by Tracey Ullman, the predecesor of the Simpsons in (1987-1989)
Alan Moore is probably one of the realest writers out there.
he's a socialist. he's inherently a hypocrite.
@@stproducciones9140 he's not a socialist he's an anarchist
@@LuisLopez-fq5sz even dumber, then.
@Mullerornis yeah socialist regimes have never exploited anyone
@@stproducciones9140 is there a single regime that HASN'T exploited anyone?
I like how Dan Clowes has a heart surgery scar in the show as well since he had heart surgery in real life
I’d pay for a real footage of Alan Moore reading those lines. That would be the strangest and funniest thing in the world.
What Alan Moore says is penetratingly insightful when you find out that in DC's Death Metal Event, there's a Bruce Wayne who became Dr. Bathattan and he is summoned by pressing a frowny version of the Watchmen button...
Yeah I will defend what Scott Synder did with his run of Batman and the Metal events because I like them for my own reasons. But I won’t deny Death Metal’s hamfistedness bringing out a Dr Manhattan Batman to put Batman Who Laughs in just to raise the stakes rather then flesh out the other evil Batman trying to fill his shoes.
i quit that metal thing 2 years ago. Most milked storyline ever, not to cite the substantive epitome of plot armor
Prosciutto di Parma.
I love the "Lost Girls" poster behind Alan Moore rendered in true Simpsons style. I'd watch that cartoon.
You'd have to pay $75 up front just to watch it
How they hired Moore to voice acting himself remains a mystery to me
Probably let him say whatever he wanted in regards to comic books.
Moore’s a self-confessed Simpsons fan and contrary to popular belief, he does have a sense of humor
@@FBB87it's really funny that people perceive him as this serious guy when he's pretty chill and approachable irl. he fit right in when he was invited on chapo, shame he didn't get on cum town cuz he definitely would've enjoyed it
Maus is in the house.
imagine if Neil Gaiman and Bryan Lee O'Malley were there as well
Ralph Wiggum getting Maus signed is the best joke by far
MAUS IS IN THE HAUS!
I’m here after maus got banned from a Tennessee school
0:51-0:55 Man.. that took some balls to pull that on Alan Moore.😂🤣😂🤣
I wonder if he thought that was funny when the writers pitched that to him.
I think that Alan Moor really looks like that without his shirt, because of the powers the snake gods gave him
0:44 I just realized that this was a jab at the 90’s comic creators who only understood the surface level of Watchmen and the Killing Joke
I'm legitimately impressed they got an Alan Moore cameo.
*Bart’s interactions with Alan Moore* is literally what Zack Snyder felt towards Watchmen 💀
I don’t think an 8 year old should be reading Ghost World tbh😂😂
Omg they got Alan Moore so right. Dc uses his orginial work and makes it shit. Watchmen prequel comics for example.
Volkan Taştan Doomsday Clock is a great read
Thats actually Moore himself voicing his Simpsons self. I would not be surprised if he contributed to some of the lines XD
doomsday clock is actually pretty good
Ryan Moore Your father Alan doesn’t feel the same
Watchmen is what made me decide to never read DC or marvel. ._.
1:15 LOL Never Thought I'd See The Day When Alan Moore Would Be Reading A Little Lulu Comic
Alan Moore reading Little LuLu is my favourite thing.
Alan Moore reading Little Lulu is hilarious!
You get Alan Moore to sing the 'Little Lulu' theme song.
You just can't top it.
Gotta love the fact that Spiegelman is wearing a mouse mask
I find it to be amazing that The Simpsons got Art Spiegelman, whose graphic novel Maus is presented as a very serious Holocaust tragedy, to suggest that he was mainly a cool alternative comic book artist. The very etnically Jewish James L. Brooks apparently didn't mind including this. Spiegelman acknowledged to NPR in 2011 there was in fact Mickey Mouse tribute-giving.
what
@@milliondollarmistake Despite being interrupted as a historical piece of work, Maus, as even Lisa pointed out when she described as Art as a "graphic novelist" instead of a "historian," was an artistic graphic novel and gave an artistic interpretation of the Spiegelman family's Holocaust account. I seriously doubt all three of the graphic novelists who guest starred in this Simpsons episode, including non-Jewish Alan Moore, would've avoided being victims of Nazi book burning.
Alon Moore (Watchmen) and Art Spiegelman ( Metamaus) are my favourite Comic book authors! I love the Simpsons for putting them into their show.
Good to see Alan Moore has a sense of humor. I know he has a lot to be angry about.
Hard to believe a segment that's Classic Simpsons quality found its way into season 19
Can we take a moment to appreciate that ww2 era comic book soundtrack during that fight?
Wow, the Simpsons creators actually featured him with authentic voice over and referenced the Watchmen debacle??
Hats off to u, that was awesome!
Also, ‘V for Vaction’ made me chuckle ha
I’d so watch Watchmen Babies just to imagine Alan Moore being trolled
2:04 I love accurate Alan’s height is 6’4 despite being in his 70’s he still probably-definitely kick my a$$.😂
I never heard of these guys before I saw this episode, but I checked out their work and I'm very impressed
Why was Ralph talking to Art Spiegelman? Does Ralph read Maus? Oh you know what, he was probably getting his copy of "Open Me...I'm a Dog" signed.
ryan
Ralph probably though it was a childrens book about cats and mice. Edit: i didnt realize that this comment was 4 years old

When a Weeaboo tries to pick a fight when Alan Moore is around.
It's so hard to imagine Moore enjoying anything. Sometimes it feels like he hates even his own work.
2:07
Can these guys go to Tennessee? Specifically, McMinn County School district?
The irony of this appearing in late-season Simpsons is... something.
Not an accurate representation of Spiegelman- he's not smoking.
If you're familiar with Moore and his work, a comic called "Watchmen Babies: V is for Vacation" is just about the funniest thing ever.
I love Art Speigelman XD Maus is a masterpiece. Part 2 is gut wrenchingly suspenseful.
0:27. It'd probably be a lot easier for Batman in that scenario if he had a credit card in his name...
MovieMan22 like Batman s George Clooney?,The problem with that is with the card you reveal your secret id.

Plus they have the same strength as comic book superheroes!
Comic Book Guy is a hypocrite. He had a girlfriend in at least one episode, when he dated Miss Krabappel (And then got in a fight with Skinner over her).
Am I the only one who was waiting for a blink and you'll miss it shot parodying the first issue of Captain America with Art Spiegelman punching CBG?
Alan Moore is the Orson Welles of the comic book industry.
it's weird ghost world at one point makes a reference to Homer Simpson, so I guess this makes the universe connected here I suppose
I like the Tintin reference.
