im about 1 minute in to this video. it's the first one i've ever seen from this channel. this comment made me sub. 10/10 comment lolllllll edit: i am now at the 2 minute mark and coming back to say i already feel justified in my sub. coming out and saying "this isnt to be WATCHED, it's to be listened to while doing something else" AND specifically mentioning civilization?! this might be the fasted i've ever loved a youtube channel. listening to youtube while i play games (or do something else) is something i do so much. really pumped to listen to this video over the next week or so while i play fallout.
@@dejus_e maybe he’s a really slow eater. Like someone who didn’t grow out of their childhood picky eater phase. I don’t know. Don’t listen to me. I’m talking out of my a**🤪
I think there's plenty of fun to be had with post "classic" period Simpsons. I was just watching some season 21 episodes and I enjoyed them. Are they as good? No, but that's okay.
I finally made it to the end! It is a very good retrospective. I can only start to imagine how much time and effort it went into this video, so massive props to you!
I enjoy these long-form retrospectives and analysis videos; they allow the subject space to breathe and flatter the viewer that we don't just want glib, base-level discussion. Terrific video, many thanks for sharing.
I really love that you extended the traditional golden age. I grew up on the dvd boxsets and I binged them all stopping around 17 or 18 when it just didn't have the same replayability
Tbh i clicked thinking "eleven hours is fucking insane i gotta see this guys deal" but knowing the actual context (ie its a series of 2-4 minute retrospectives) changes a lot lol. Gonna listen to a bit before i fall asleep for sure
" a brief retrospective" is code for 4-14 h videos at this point. I feel i could make one about a German show for English viewers that has never gotten a dub and some people would watch and proceed to learn German afterwards.
I'm 6 hours in and am happy I begun this journey - I loved the golden age of the Simpsons so much, having watched a lot of the episodes you've covered here. Was great to watch while working! Thank you 💛
I love that I’ve been working on homework and sleeping to this and it actually helps a lot 😭 I’m gonna watch more of your videos your voice is nice as a podcast keep making your videos!
I used to binge watch the simpsons as a kid, but we only had the first four seasons on dvd. So I'd rewatch those seasons over and over and then catch whatever episodes happened to be on tv. I'm a big fan of excessively long youtube videos where the creator is clearly very passionate and informed about the subject matter. This video is very nicely done, and will serve extremely well as something to listen to while I play Terraria
For 2 months I have been listening to this video to go to sleep. I say this with the utmost appreciation. Thank you for all the work you put in to this awesome Simpsons analysis. It’s kind of like falling asleep with an episode on the TV late at night. Very calming for real!
I just want to appreciate the fact that you let people know that the visuals aren't anything to really focus on bc that's simultaneously super specific and super helpful for people who put videos on in the background such as myself, great work!
I fell asleep to this for a whole night and I woke up with it still being the only thing in the queue but only 50 minutes into the video, when I was asleep for hours. How the hell is that even possible? Absolutely unsettling
The ES4 Oblivion music within the first 20 minutes so far was unexpected but highly appreciated. Let alone how you're tying the episodes together with points that stand throughout the series is making me love this retrospective
I think the incredibly distinct 3-act structure of The Call of the Simpsons is indicative of many later episodes of the show, like The Trouble with Trillions or Boy Scoutz N the Hood or The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer. One of the things that makes the Simpsons great is that you can never tell from the first act of an episode where the hell the final act will take you. It does make no sense to go from "Homer is jealous of Flanders' RV" to "Homer is mistaken by America for Bigfoot" but that's exactly what makes the Simpsons the Simpsons.
Season 5 is my favorite. Rosebud is my favorite season 5 episode . Because it has the Ramones and the story is so solid. My all time favorite episode of the Simpsons is Grapes of Wrath. It’s the episode I first remember distinctly watching as a young kid.
Awesome video! I’m sure it took an extraordinary amount of time to put together. I love that you didn’t stop at Season 9 or 10- which some people consider to be the end of the “golden age”. And those people are wrong. Also, I like your choice of music. I’m a big Persona 5 fan too!
Great work! I love the blend of critiques and genuine love for the show, I appreciate the effort of this “Brief” retrospective. Can’t wait to see more from you in the future🩵
You know, if you think about it, any length of time is really short if you compare it to eternity, so yeah this really is a brief retrospective of the Simpsons golden age
Seasons six through twelve are my favourites. I particularly enjoy Lisa the Iconoclast, Lisa the Skeptic, Homer's Enemy, Trash of the Titans, Homerpalooza, Bart Carny, Maximum Homerdrive, Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo, Miracle on Evergreen Terrace, Monty Can't Buy Me Love, The Curse of the Flying Hellfish, Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming, King Size Homer, Marge Be Not Proud, and Bart Sells His Soul. As always, the best episodes go beyond being merely funny and tackle some quite profound subject matter. Treehouse of Horror 8 is my favourite halloween special.
I love how it's exactly 11 hours long. good on you for making a good really long non meme video. I always watch UA-cam video's while playing wwter sort puzzle so you specifically telling me to is nice to hear
THANK YOU for formatting this video in 4:3, you have no idea how annoying it is to crop fake 4:3 youtube videos to fit on my CRT monitor, it looks great! thanks!
Fantastic video. I really appreciate your channel and love the way you do retrospectives. A lot of people will just summarize episodes but you do a great job at analyzing them deeper and within the broader lens of the show. I've been really enjoying watching all your animated tv show retrospectives, please continue making them. 😎Cheers!
Bro, did you use Wizard 101 music in this? I was chillin and listening and suddenly I was sent into a wave of intense nostalgia that I was not prepared for.
i just love how "talking dogs" is a big issue that is warned about and never actually brought up ever again. it's just so iconic of this channel's retrospectives now.
@videogaems I just binge a bunch of video essays while I play games so I've had like four of your brief retrospectives in most of my queues so I notice it a bunch
1:20:27 I just had to point out that the shot of Abe looking down at his hands before deciding to use the money for the retirement home is one of my favorite scenes in the series. It's a beautiful, human moment.
Thank you for giving Saddlestar Galatica and Homer vs Dignity proper, intelligent reviews. The Mike Skully era deserves more credit than it gets, it could still be quite a clever show. The Al Jean era (Season 15 onwards) was where the show died for me.
I saw the first 3 parts a few weeks ago, it's nice to finally cap off with the final part. Frosty chocolate milkshakes indeed! Thanks for keeping the other parts up just unlisted, by the way. I have a spoken-word playlist I sometimes put on shuffle very quietly, and they were in that, so I'll get some of the other parts more frequently than the rest of it. Honestly I wouldn't mind if part 4 were also uploaded separately (even if unlisted) so I could have them all an equal chance, heh. But yeah, you have a very relaxing voice and I appreciate this review format. Going over every single episode instead of just the standouts takes dedication, as does writing a sufficiently succinct and concise review!
47:07 "by not reducing a character to their gayness in exception of anything else" while talking about Karl, showing him onscreen with Smithers was a nice editing touch. Really showed the juxtaposition between Karl and how they'd bungle Smithers' characterisation. Great video. The constant Persona music is also a wonderful highlight.
Dude I literally watched Citizen Kane BECAUSE Mr. Burns is pretty heavily inspired by him. First in 2 cars in every garage, but mainly in Rosebud, obviously. His name being Charles M Burns and Kane’s being Charles F Kane must have also been inspired.
Been listening to this on my comute for a few days. Love the video. Thank you for the hard work you put into this. It was really good definitely going to watch some other videos in the upcoming days.
10:40:16 No Fade In & Fade out transition here. This video helped me fall asleep for many consecutive days after work & I was finally able to complete the entire 11 hours. Thank you so much for your work
why does this not have more views. i predict it'll probably get thousands if not millions more, but as of my time, december 2023, it's not quite there yet
“Homers odyssey” is a fascinating episode. Dealing with concepts like suicide. They would never do an episode about that today. Also was fascinating that despite being raised on the Simpsons, I really didn’t know how he got that safety Inspector job. So after finally watching that episode, I was like wow. That’s how
I've always liked the idea that Burns giving the safety inspector job to Homer despite Homer not really being qualified was an intentional move that allowed his to eschew so many safety laws in the later seasons.
@@viedogaems although it was a shame that despite being so grateful for the job and the security it gave him, he quickly comes to take the job for granted. Only ever going there late, and sleeping on the job.

Well that's kinda not very good

I love this "Brief" Retrospective.
The shortest video essay
Shortest brief retrospective ever... because it is a first brief retrospective i saw
it's an Oxymoron.
Spaces are imoprtant here.
Cliché to call these drawn out videos on UA-cam "Brief" at this point.
a sempiternal critique becomes the appropriate idiom @@DominikSobolewski
Bro has 11 hours worth of Simpsons jpegs
Lmaoo facts
I wonder how much gigs that Simpsons folder is
Me doing 30 minutes of homework: 🤮
Me watching a “brief” 11 hour long retrospective about the Simpsons: 😏
I love a Simpsons retrospective that doesn’t just crap on anything past season 8 and actually has something to say about the show
Season 13-14 is usually where I throw in the towel during my rewatches, 9-12 is still pretty entertaining and about on par with other good sitcoms.
I think there's plenty of fun to be had with post "classic" period Simpsons. I was just watching some season 21 episodes and I enjoyed them. Are they as good? No, but that's okay.
interesting too bc back in the day fans were more mixed about seasons 7-8 but have turned around on them since then
Yep, season 13 is the point it plummets.
Beginning of the end was when Homer literally got raped by a panda tbh
Brand new content starts here: 8:09:56
For anyone wondering: The original parts are now unlisted, but you can find them in the description.
I thought I was going crazy because I swore I had watched multiple segments of a retrospective by this person
OP: “I don't intend for you to listen to this in one setting.”
Me: “YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER!!”
Title: Brief retrospective
Video: 11 hours
Narrator: "Each episode gets 4-5 minutes"
Me: "...oh, actually now it makes perfect sense..."
Some idiots don't get it . Thanks for getting it
he could like done multiple parts @@Donovarkhallum
@@pyth0n.. he quite literally did, that's the point. this is a compilation of all of them

I finally made it to the end! It is a very good retrospective. I can only start to imagine how much time and effort it went into this video, so massive props to you!
Played this during our road trip to California and my kids got sick of it
Funnily enough, the first time I ever watched The Simpsons was on a road trip and my parents were the ones sick of it by the end.
get new kids
THAT'S IT! BACK TO WINNIPEG!!

I am gonna keep my eyes out for this exact moment, see you in 6 hours
Thanks 🙏
This guy really heard steamed hams and went "the people need this. The people must know."
I enjoy these long-form retrospectives and analysis videos; they allow the subject space to breathe and flatter the viewer that we don't just want glib, base-level discussion. Terrific video, many thanks for sharing.
What are you talking about he's just recapping the plot of each episode
I really love that you extended the traditional golden age. I grew up on the dvd boxsets and I binged them all stopping around 17 or 18 when it just didn't have the same replayability
"You aren't meant to watch this in one sitting..."
Challenge accepted 🤠
Tbh i clicked thinking "eleven hours is fucking insane i gotta see this guys deal" but knowing the actual context (ie its a series of 2-4 minute retrospectives) changes a lot lol. Gonna listen to a bit before i fall asleep for sure
Since each episode is about 22 minutes and each retrospective is about 2 minutes, this 11 hour retrospective is about 1/11 as long as the full show.
"Mom said one more video before bed."
" a brief retrospective" is code for 4-14 h videos at this point. I feel i could make one about a German show for English viewers that has never gotten a dub and some people would watch and proceed to learn German afterwards.
Please do, I'd watch it :D
"A brief retrospective of Pastewka"
You make it ill watch it
Only about 2 hours in so far, but this is such a good video to keep coming back to right before bed, the topic and your voice are very relaxing.
Finally a video long enough to be running my entire shift at work

Was playing Civ V and this popped up on my TV (which is technically a monitor)
I kept watching the whole thing because this man knows me

I have really enjoyed your retrospectives! Thanks for putting in all of the work to make this engaging and intellectual.
Needed something to listen to as I aimlessly walk around town, thank you!!
I love this new short video format on youtube!
Perfect breif essay to watch during my lunch break thank you!
>Brief retrospective
>11 hours
did bro watch past the first minute
do you know how much simpsons there is
That's the joke
This is the kind of thing blows up a channel. Youll get a million views no doubt. Great content

God bless you, people who make such long videos. Took me whole day to watch this.
This was great
Can’t wait for me especially when you get to seasons 34/35 since I usually come across he show on FX
Golden age Simpsons has at least one laugh out loud moment for me in every episode. What a masterpiece
How does this only have 6K likes??? It deserves a lot more, this is a great video!
Brief 11 hours. Will be chipping away at this thank you. I grew up on Simpsons
Awesome video! I’m sure it took an extraordinary amount of time to put together. I love that you didn’t stop at Season 9 or 10- which some people consider to be the end of the “golden age”. And those people are wrong.

“Ahhh a new retrospective to add to my collection”
11 hours of content. Incredible. liked & bookmarked in the hopes that this will get picked up

Took a while but made it to end! Really enjoyed it overall and liked how far you went in the series.
Ahhhhh the best type of video to fall asleep to - you’re amazing
Loved the 4:3 style for talking about old Simpsons
It was great to watch this over the hoildays into the new year.
thank god for this brief retrospective, now I have something to watch during my lunch break

Lol. One earbud in listening to this video. Headphones over that hooked up to my Switch, playing Skyrim....
The perfect video for this setup
Good thing my sleep schedule was already destroyed before watching
I was a fan of Life In Hell in high school. When I found out Groening was going to do animated shorts on the Tracy Ullman show I freaked out.
Minor thing in the face of the sheer work this represents, but I love your inclusion of Project Zomboid's tracks throughout
Me:Just one more video before bed please?
Dad:Yes son. Only one.
Me:
This is extremely well made and inspiring, giving new thoughts about the Simpsons. Thank you
screw the breaks, you put so much work into it im gonna watch the whole ahh thing in one viewing 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
I loved the golden age. It was so crazy when Flanders activated the behilit and sacrificed the band of the hawk.
I still can't believe what he did to Marge in front of Homer.
I attempted to download this video on my iPad and it caught on fire!
I’m probably gonna watch this over the span of 2 weeks
I was considering subbing, then i found out your entire channel is full of these videos so you definitely earned a sub
Should have titled it an exhaustive series of short retrospectives about Springfield.
Skyrim music in a Simpsons review? Never thought I’d see the day…
Finally, a short video on this platform!
Good that it was brief, can't imagine a shorter version
I can't believe I watched the whole thing
Wonderful stuff - thank you! I look forward to more, mate, beauty.
All right..... one more video before bed.
Time to watch this at work! Also the persona music 😍
Short and concise. Straight to the point
this video will be perfect to fall asleep to, thank you 🙏
Finally completed! Loved the video, thank you again :D

10 hours??! A BRIEF history?? I’d hate to see the deep dive. Or worse yet be the guy doing the research for that one.
