This episode really captures the childhood experience of your mom forcing you to have play dates with the weird awkward kid who you aren't comfortable with letting him touch your stuff, but then you go over to his place and discover that he has a Nintendo 64, so you make more of an effort and eventually get on better with him.
That would be fun. Guessing they don't because Homer and Ralph share such stupid temperaments. But I think Ralph would bring out the (slightly) more responsible side of Homer.
According to legend, the writers didn't actually plan on Ralph being Chief Wiggum's son and nothing indicates they're related in their earliest appearances. But their designs and personalities matched so well he was made a Wiggum later.
ralph is shown with different hair clothes grades and voices in seasons 1-2 so that makes sense....wiggum is shown to have black hair and a different voice and be a little bit wittier early on too and more of a stuck up cop..
There's an oddly sweet depth to Wiggum by making Ralph his son. Compared to most of the other parents in the show who are somewhat abrasive and negligent in spite of caring, Wiggum seems to dote over him very openly and be ever patient with his dimness.
I don't know why, but I always laugh at that Go Fish scene, where Bart is explaining Ralph has several threes. It's not that funny of a scene or anything. It just has stuck to my brain somewhere. Maybe I just play too many games and stuff.
i think is a joke that is easy not to screw up, hell they did the same in the fairy oddparents. i think adam sandler could use it in his worse movie and still give us giggle everytime
@@FlameEmber Favorite board game is probably Ticket to Ride. I really like playing Splendor and 7 Wonders too. One of my friends got us into indie board games and eurogames and stuff.
It's actually frighteningly easy to look up cities/countys/states that have universal fire keys. While they aren't going to open every locked door, a lot of times they will open a fire box that will then have the keys for the door inside them. Mainly on large apartment buildings. It's a large security gap that is actually written into our fire and safety codes. It's funny that I just saw a presentation on this subject and then you reviewed the episode with the "master" key.
Ah, that's interesting, had no idea there were entire cities or counties. Had actually googled whether skeleton keys were actually real and saw that they exist for systems of locks. I like to think that there is only one lockmaker in Springfield that refuses to use any other designs.
@@TheRealJims Thanks for the reply, love your videos. Springfield would have a stubborn guy only using one lock mechanism. Probably a locksmith who only knows how to pick one kind of lock lol.
@@TheRealJims Also there's janitors skeleton keys. One is for all toilet paper dispensers in town, I forget what the other is for. Knew a homeless guy who still had them from the last time he worked as a janitor.
The best Ralph episode was the "Choo Choo Choose You" one since it actually treats him with some depth and extra dimension to his character. Moreso than any other, and shows he can act and put together a complex sentence.
you don't even remember what its called?..i love lisa duh...classic season 4 writing at its cynical subversive parody best...barts im prepared to make that sacrifice scene kills me every time...
I like this episode. It's a parallel on how kids admire older kids. And how we treat the younger as we are treated by the oldest. Also about parents worries of the kids social life.I dig it, it's the first time Ralf wasn't just there (except for that one where he though he was in love for Lisa). Not to mention the hypocrisy of society since half has mental problems yet every one kind of ignores..
8:36 For anyone coming back after the Ralph Viking video and wanting to see the line reference. It's funny to me that this was something hidden to me and just a throwaway line before but now so many videos later there is new light shed on the video. It's like rereading a mystery novel or going back to see the proper foreshadowing of a plot device.
Master keys for police and fire departments are actually incredibly common, though it doesn't work as portrayed in this story - The key usually opens a box at the location that has a key for the door in it.
You summed up season 9 perfectly with this video. It has a couple of good episodes and a couple of good moments, but it does feel a little off. Even back when it first aired I thought "Well, has this been it?"
season 9 was the first season ran by mike scully..that may be why and had technically 4 show runners which is odd...and they clearly had ideas but no endings to stories and were on fumes...
*DUDE!!* A *Ralph and Homer* episode could be AWESOME!!... What if we turn the tables on Bart's attempt to be a Flanders, when Ralph bonds with Homer over nonsense and Chief Wiggum gets jealous of Homer?... With firearms!! Putting Ralph and Homer together is a perfect pairing and you, sir, are a genius!
You're right about Bart. He chooses his friends regarding their appearance. He admitted a few times his discontent with Milhouse but sticks with him, because he's gullible.
I have never understand why a lot of people always say they love Ralph and how great of a character he is in episodes like "I Love Lisa" but that's the only episode that he worked like that.
Not Aaron De Castilla Yeah, he’s not a character with much depth, at least as portrayed on the show. His high point was “I Love Lisa” for sure. I liked that he was good at acting, which maybe is conceivable. He seems a little autistic or mentally not there, but everyone Hs their own special talents, and I guess his is acting.
I would totally be into the Ralph and Homer story! That is a fantastic idea. You are also right about the Knowledgium. It is definitely one of the best opening set pieces ever!
Between this and the Scorpion's Tale video, I've really been enjoying this recent trend of you reviewing more obscure/less obvious "post Golden Years" episodes. It's really neat for someone like me who hasn't seen some of these episodes in years (Or at all, in the case of The Scorpion's Tale) to get a fresh perspective on them.
Nancy Cartwright gives such good performances in this episode, especially as Ralph. I always, always choke up at the scene where Ralph just wants his daddy’s key back so he can go home, the simultaneous feeling of being completely over this crazy adventure but still surprisingly resilient against Bart and the bullies.
Keep it up man! U recently had me hooked when I found your Mr. Burns 5-parter and I've been watching since. A+ analysis and I really love your laid back style and video game soundtrack. Very chill material.
Hey Jims, it’s Tims I really like your videos friend! I have been binge watching for days subscribed for about a year! Keep up the good work. Love these extra seconds.
@@ianfinrir8724 I guess I'm not the only one then. I am the younger of 2 brothers and I have a sister younger than me. My first bed out of a crib was a bunk bed, but my brother and sister always had their own beds and in their own rooms. Not sure who decided it, and I didn't mind for many years, and only once or twice did I use the bottom bunk to sleep, I was always the top bunk. Most of the time my bunk bed was a storage space for books and toys. Same thing for my cousin who was an only child. I guess it's just a thing that happens.
The skeleton key seemed believable to me as a kid, I totally assumed it was a real thing. In fact, I don't think Ive ever fully second guessed it until watching this review all these years later lol So I guess that plot device worked just fine for me.
It's S9, but it's light years ahead of where the show goes in only a few years. It still feels somewhat grounded and it still feels like a Simpsons episode. Kill the Alligator and Run is S11! The difference is night and day. For that reason, I still consider S9 to be "classic simpsons" era.
this little wiggy is a warning against why we cant have a hans moleman centric episode. the creators showed us this through this little wiggy to an extent.
Sometimes it feels like you only make 60 second reviews of episodes to justify an extra seconds review. You always get an extra seconds review done directly after a 60 second review, like you work on them at the same time. I think I speak for everyone when I say you shouldn't feel held down by 60 second reviews. TL;DR, do an extra seconds whenever you feel like it, not just after a 60 second of the same episode.
He obviously does produce them together. But I think it's harmless enough. Since he hits both the points it's probably easy to make and then it's there for anyone who prefers that format.
I think both work. I prefer Extras myself but 60 seconds forced him to be a bit pithier and can appeal to the super short video bingo watcher (I'm also a ProZD fan for example).
I think it's a pretty effective format from the point of view of the channel. The 60 seconds get me thinking about the episode so the extra seconds draw me in better than they otherwise might.
Don't worry, I don't feel held down by them... I just think they're a fun writing exercise, boiling down all the points I want to make into 60 seconds. And the shorter runtime lets me be a little more aggressive and experimental with the editing. I write most of the Extra Seconds concurrently with the 60 Seconds review, but usually add/subtract stuff based on initial feedback arguments or if I don't have an ending yet. I kinda like the idea of doing this little "appetizer" review, in case people want to go watch the episode before the Extra Seconds review.
The lack of character development and the 3rd act not holding up, especially when compared to "I Love Lisa" really highlights how far the show had fallen only a year or two after the Golden Age
season 8 ended so badly that we should of seen this coming in season 9 and 10 and 11...I have the final disc and wholy shit is disc 4 of season 8 terrible with 5 horrible eps...compared to seasons 3-7...none of those seasons have even 3 bad eps on the same disc..
Personally my favourite series on your channel is extra seconds reviews. Because we get to have a more longer analytical look from your perspective at Simpsons episodes that not many other people do. At least to my knowledge. Maybe there's multiple Simpsons anylisis communities out there deep in the internet that I'm unaware of. But yeah, love your videos dude! ^_^
I think it's just we've all been Ralph at some point in our lives. Naive, getting used by people. Being abandoned. It's a horrible feeling I Think the writers wanted to get across
Do they still do spotlight episodes? the only recent ones I recall are a few Moe ones, other than that all the stories have been highly focused on the family.
we've seen in later episodes Ralph being apart of Barts circle of friends, particularly in the future episodes, so this episode did establish some things that stuck around for a time.
I always thought that in "I Love Lisa" Ralph is just such a different character, that it kinda takes me out of it. At least in this episode he feels more like Ralph.
I somewhat agree. The whole performance he gives in the play and the subsequent admiration he receives feels a bit much, and frankly pointless, in retrospect.
heartbreak will show you how much you need to change..ralph grew up in that moment...he developed cause it hurt so bad he realized maybe he was at fault not just lisa...thus he gives a performance of a lifetime...hes still ralph in the first 2 acts and even at the very end of that ep when lisa forgives him...he is performing in a play so its not the real him and he is using pain as motivation and thus ignores lisa cause the play is his way to get back at her and show her hes moved on and understands the truth
Huh, this made me think about an episode featuring Ralph and Nelson having to buddy up for an episode. Nelson's still able to convey that rough bully character pretty well, but I could see his character depth playing well with Ralph's shtick as an accessory to a Bart or Lisa focused episode. Maybe some extracurricular activity puts a bunch of the kids together regardless of grade and Ralph and Nelson wind excelling at whatever it is? I dunno. TheRealJims just brings out an interest in Simpsons stories in me.
that would be fun, Bart and Lisa would probably end up getting paired together but I think it would be interesting having Bart paired up with either Louis, Richard or Wendell, then Lisa could be paired with either Sherry or Terry and the other twin is paired with Janey.
I love Ralph Wiggum's non-sequiturs as much as the next guy, but you do have a point in that ever the writers decided he was just a character that dispenses non-sequiturs he hasn't been able to achieve the depth he did in earlier Simpsons episodes, where he still managed to be funny and goofy while also showing another side to him. It's rather sad, and at this point I don't think there's any going back for him.
They should have made the key a lock pick instead and Ralph was the only one who knew how to use it, he surprises the group and when they ask him how he knew how to do that he’s picking his nose and says something like “lock picks get boogers out of doors” the he has the floor to impress the group and develop
I've seen skeleton keys like that - usually owned by the police department of a small-enough town that they use standardized locks, so there's a "master" key to open most of them. Seriously. I've actually seen it. This is a case of reality being unrealistic.
Can someone tell me which episode Homer starts a baby proofing business all I have to go on is that Homer does the safety dance and gets sad when the baby crutches factory closes?
What is ralphs best quality? I actually thought it was really endearing when he started playing as his made up character Wiggle Puppy. I think the episode would have wrapped up well if Ralphs imagination somehow saved the day
Yeah, I agree. It kinda felt like they were leading toward something like that, with Ralph wandering into that prison. Maybe Ralph's imaginative way of thinking impresses Bart or he finds it fun or something.
It makes sense he acts as a dog and lives in his imagination, as he was shown to be a good actor in “I Love Lisa.” Also makes sense, because he’s shown as having no friends, so I’m sure he plays make-believe in his head constantly.
do a video about the number 23. if you haven't noticed, it is featured in many, if not all episodes. also, 42 (the answer to the ultimate question, obviously) for starters, the simpsons address has been both 723 and 742 evergreen terrace. just a lil detail i noticed watching several episodes in a row.
I would like to see an episode where they find someone who would be the perfect best friend for Ralph. Someone is adorably goofy as he is, and see how it goes.
To be honest, we're forgetting that there's nothing wrong with having no other feeling but sympathy or pity for a stupid 10 year old child. How much more depth to the character can you really expect?
In my top 20 face episodes for sure. I'm so critical of all media but for the Simpsons I dont even care... I dont even see the regular plot holes and such 🤣 i just love it so muchl
Hello I was watching the simpsons and they mentioned chef Wiggums name wich was Clancy also chef Wiggins has blue hair just like Marges father he could also have faked his death this might be stupid because I’m not a die hard fan but I knew I wanted explanations
not only did I totally believe that the police had a master key based on this episode, but i also believed that the key to the city was the same deal. Whats the point in giving you the key to the city if there's parts of the city you are locked out of, afterall?
i like to think Bart and Ralphs friendship here led them to being roomates in the Bart to the Future episode (or "LIsa is the president" episode)
makes sense
i was definitely the ralph of my class
I agree with
I agree you
Chappyomega I’d say I was the Milhouse of my class.

That would be fun. Guessing they don't because Homer and Ralph share such stupid temperaments. But I think Ralph would bring out the (slightly) more responsible side of Homer.
They made a comic like that. It’s Simpson’s Comics #222
According to legend, the writers didn't actually plan on Ralph being Chief Wiggum's son and nothing indicates they're related in their earliest appearances. But their designs and personalities matched so well he was made a Wiggum later.

I think the skeleton key is a reflection of child logic. When you were a kid and heard about a skeleton key didn't you imagine it could open ANY lock?
no
Hell, I was straight-up TOLD that

It's actually frighteningly easy to look up cities/countys/states that have universal fire keys.

Nelson's still able to convey that rough bully character pretty well, but I could see his character depth playing well with Ralph's shtick as an accessory to a Bart or Lisa focused episode. Maybe some extracurricular activity puts a bunch of the kids together regardless of grade and Ralph and Nelson wind excelling at whatever it is? I dunno. TheRealJims just brings out an interest in Simpsons stories in me.
that would be fun, Bart and Lisa would probably end up getting paired together but I think it would be interesting having Bart paired up with either Louis, Richard or Wendell, then Lisa could be paired with either Sherry or Terry and the other twin is paired with Janey.
I love Ralph Wiggum's non-sequiturs as much as the next guy, but you do have a point in that ever the writers decided he was just a character that dispenses non-sequiturs he hasn't been able to achieve the depth he did in earlier Simpsons episodes, where he still managed to be funny and goofy while also showing another side to him. It's rather sad, and at this point I don't think there's any going back for him.
Yes a homer Ralph episode would be amazing
HELP! This video is touching my special area!! (My special area is my heart! 😊)
Thank you!
They should have made the key a lock pick instead and Ralph was the only one who knew how to use it, he surprises the group and when they ask him how he knew how to do that he’s picking his nose and says something like “lock picks get boogers out of doors” the he has the floor to impress the group and develop
I've seen skeleton keys like that - usually owned by the police department of a small-enough town that they use standardized locks, so there's a "master" key to open most of them. Seriously. I've actually seen it. This is a case of reality being unrealistic.
can you do incridibles2 pixar perfect episode or walle-E and simpson mysteries the jes guy? Ps.good video!
Can someone tell me which episode Homer starts a baby proofing business all I have to go on is that Homer does the safety dance and gets sad when the baby crutches factory closes?
Well the episode where Lisa tries to take up tap dancing shows that Ralph can be a really good dancer.
This little wiggy went
Is Ralph REALLY a year or two older? He looks like he might have been held back in Miss Hoover's class a year or two...
I really like this episode
Ralph is awesome
One minute gang!
What is ralphs best quality? I actually thought it was really endearing when he started playing as his made up character Wiggle Puppy. I think the episode would have wrapped up well if Ralphs imagination somehow saved the day
Yeah, I agree. It kinda felt like they were leading toward something like that, with Ralph wandering into that prison. Maybe Ralph's imaginative way of thinking impresses Bart or he finds it fun or something.
It makes sense he acts as a dog and lives in his imagination, as he was shown to be a good actor in “I Love Lisa.” Also makes sense, because he’s shown as having no friends, so I’m sure he plays make-believe in his head constantly.
It was a great episode
Haha, I actually made a meme on that same joke at 0:44 a few years ago. What's with the Simpson kids and breaking Ralph's heart on camera?
Beer, beer, beer, bed, bed, bed
do a video about the number 23. if you haven't noticed, it is featured in many, if not all episodes. also, 42 (the answer to the ultimate question, obviously) for starters, the simpsons address has been both 723 and 742 evergreen terrace. just a lil detail i noticed watching several episodes in a row.
I would like to see an episode where they find someone who would be the perfect best friend for Ralph. Someone is adorably goofy as he is, and see how it goes.
Julian Stephenson as I recall he did have a best friend in the early seasons but then they suddenly got rid of him.
Martin Fawkes Really? I’d love to see clips of that. I’ve never seen him with a friend before.
To be honest, we're forgetting that there's nothing wrong with having no other feeling but sympathy or pity for a stupid 10 year old child. How much more depth to the character can you really expect?
In my top 20 face episodes for sure.
I'm so critical of all media but for the Simpsons I dont even care... I dont even see the regular plot holes and such 🤣 i just love it so muchl
isn't there an episode in the later seasons where he becomes the president or something?
Ralph wrote for the Chicago Tribune though.
I'm not allowed in the deep end
Hello I was watching the simpsons and they mentioned chef Wiggums name wich was Clancy also chef Wiggins has blue hair just like Marges father he could also have faked his death this might be stupid because I’m not a die hard fan but I knew I wanted explanations
not only did I totally believe that the police had a master key based on this episode, but i also believed that the key to the city was the same deal. Whats the point in giving you the key to the city if there's parts of the city you are locked out of, afterall?
Alright, I am not a policeman, but I am pretty sure Police don’t keep multiple suits of riot gear at home.
i like this episode it's cute and funny
