Yeah, that's the thing about later season "Jerkass Homer." It was supposedly in the early "show bible" that he's a golden retriever - dumb, gluttonous, silly, but *loves* his family and is generally good-natured.
Jerkass Homer is sort of rose-tinted glasses view of older seasons. There were plenty of jerkass Homer moments in early Simpsons too. A big one is "When Flanders Failed" (S03E03) when Homer is enjoying Flanders business failing up through losing his house. While he turns around at the end, this still falls waaay outside of the "golden retriever" behavior
It’s easy to forget the absolute grasp this movie had on the summer of 2007. Simpson-mania made its triumphant return in full force. Every kid I knew was singing Spider-Pig like it was the pinnacle of comedy. I always did wonder why they got Hans Zimmer to do the music, when Danny Elfman wrote the theme originally. Maybe he was just too busy.
To Answer your question: "Nome, sweet Nome." The city of Nome is located on the southern Seward Peninsula coast on Norton Sound of the Bering Sea. It had a population of 3,699 recorded in the 2020 census, up from 3,598 in 2010. Nome was incorporated on April 9, 1901. It was once the most-populous city in Alaska.
And "Nome" - as a name- might have been a result of a misreading of what was on a map. There's a note reading "Name?" on a map of this part of Alaska - and the "a" might have been mistaken for the letter "o". /Alaska resident
I live in Eastern Europe, the first time Mountain Dew appeared on the shelves was like 2010s (and it was reallly overpriced). I bought it for the hype and just to taste it and went "wow, this tastes like Sprite mixed with piss".
@@CrowTRobot There was going to be a Simpsons movie made around the early seasons of the show at the time, but the ideas often ended on the show itself (the Kamp Krusty episode is a noted one).
As somone who was raised on the S-tier Simpsons era, I can safely this movie is pretty dang good and holds up. Also Bart’s naked skateboarding stunt still brings me to tears.
Marge vs the monorail is known for being one of the best episodes of the Simpsons ever. The fact it was written by Conan O’Brien makes it that much better haha I saw this movie in theaters. It’s deff one of my favorites. It’s basically a long Simpsons episode! I hope Simone enjoyed it as much as we all did when we Simpson fans saw it for the first time back in 2007.
The first airing of the monorail episode was cancelled in Sydney, Australia, as the government was in the process of bringing in its own monorail system (which after a couple of decades was torn down and replaced with a slightly less useless tram system).
Oh god, it just occurred to me that 2007 (the year the Simpsons movie came out…and the year I graduated high school) is almost exactly halfway between now and 1989 (the year of the Simpsons 1st season…and the year I was born). Ugh, in addition to making me feel rather old, realizations like this always send me into a state of extreme depersonalization, which is never fun - on the contrary, it’s always deeply uncomfortable.
Otherwise known as the Amélie cure, we need monotone gnomes to roam all over Nome with our phones for Simone. (And George) Four out of five recently polled doctors say we need to share likenesses of them posted at various points throughout this Alaskan city immediately to cheer them up or the jaundice could be permanent.
The wild animals recoiling in horror at them doing the deed struck a primal nerve with me, and I haven't laughed so hard in a theater before or since. I was in tears and struggling to breathe.
I went to one of the 7 Eleven "Kwik-E-Mart" locations on 42nd Street in Manhattan. They didn't just have the pink donuts, but they also sold boxes of Krusty-O's cereal and plastic Squishee souvenir cups. I had one of the cups but unfortunately lost it.
Remember that in the peak years, the writers were incredibly talented and well educated/trained. The classical Greek idea of hamartia (missing the mark) was built into Homer. We loved him not bc he was a jerk, but because he tried and then failed. His effort was genuine. He was just his own worst enemy.
The show started to drift after Conan left The first couple years I wasn’t able to watch because we didn’t get a fox TV signal. Then it became a mandated, must be home Sunday show. About and out about 12-15 year in the run it started to drift and I haven’t watched it in years
I like that history joke where Ned sais" I don't want to be a nervous pervis" Melvin Pervis was the FBI agent that took down John Dillinger who was known to be extremely anxious and uptight.ha ha ha
the kwik-e mart promo was so fun, there was always a line to get in and it was decked out from top to bottom and inside out to look like the one from the show.
They changed a lot for the movie for that reason. It honestly didn't feel too much like the simpsons. Even the humor was pretty different from the show. Lots of characters acted different, too. Like, not like themselves.
I am one of those older Simpsons fans that stopped watching regularly before this movie came out, but they still managed to make a pretty good movie. And it was back then to actually see it on the movie screen!
Nome is a city in Alaska that's somehow famous even though it has a population of less than 4,000. My father used to say they got that name because, before Alaska became a state, a federal worker tasked with assigning official names to each settlement came up with a blank and wrote "Name?", but his As looked like Os. 😁
Trivia: Simpsons started as shorts on the Tracy Ullman Show. The monorail ep. was satirizing old musical film The Music Man. Itchy & Scratchy are loosely a hardcore version of Tom & Jerry cartoons.
A great joke is in the intro to the first episode of the season after this where Boob Lady Shows up and Marge asks who is that Homer says she was his therapist
one of my core memories was seeing this in the cinema and one of my older sisters (who wasn't overly phased about the simpsons) crying laughing at "the boob lady" scene, i'm talking hysterics to the point where people were laughing at her laughing like a chain reaction; it was priceless, something similar happened in the first harry potter where she was the only person (perhaps in the world) to audibly scream at the face scare coming out of the book in the restricted section; people were cracking up for about 5 minutes
29:28 George, to be clear, Family Guy was definitely NOT built around Peter being mean. He started off just like Homer. He was an oaf that loved his family and made mistakes and fixed them by the end of the episode, very similar to Simpsons. It wasn't until later seasons of Family Guy, especially with the reboot in Seasons 4+ where he had begun his mean streak. Then again, you may argue that seeing as it's over 20 seasons on that it's very much based on that now. Though, it may be said that it was probably The Simpsons inspiring Family Guy in that aspect.
When I first saw this in the theater I really didn't find it to be all that great. Years later upon rewatching it I have found a new appreciation for it.
Yeah, I remember being slightly underwhelmed when it first came out. Now I think the jokes were always funny, so what probably didn't grab me the first time was the plot. It was fine, but I don't think The Simpsons needs "stakes" to work. I would've been just as happy to watch all the characters just screw around for 90 minutes.
Simpsons golden years for me was S3-9ish, mostly because on Sky in the UK they would show at least one ep per day at the right time in the evening, every joke hits and is perfect, quotable etc. Then talk about that ep with mate at work :) "Think about it!" "I will" "Noo you won't"
You guys do some AMAZING Thumbnails. I've never mentioned that on any channel but once I saw that Thumbnail I HAD to officially compliment you guys on that level of creativity and artwork. I couldn't ignore that or just let that pass. Again EXCELLENT Thumbnail.
I went to the Kwik-E-Mart here in Seattle. I remember getting some Buzz Cola and some Krusty O's. I was watching the first episode - Santa's Little Helper - and have rarely missed an episode. I still watch weekly, and I believe the quality has improved the past couple of years. Hey! They have the internet on computers now!
I still randomly think of the Sop, Yeld and One Vey signs; making me randomly laugh in public. I also voice the going mad with power line, usually at work ;)
I remember they had the coolest marketing campaign where they transformed 7/11 locations into the Kwik-E-Mart. My dad took me to one and I remember the Simpsons donut tasting so good
I was 6 or 7 when this movie came out and I remember everyone at school being excited for it and ENDLESSLY quoting the Spider-Pig part (me included) and just dying of laughter. Great memories.
I always considered this my series finale; I caught glimpses of later episodes, but when I noticed jokes I knew by heart being explicitly recycled, I decided I wanted to remember my youth with the Simpsons fondly.
Highly recommend the two parter "A Serious Flanders" from some of the recent episodes. It's genuinely one of the more interesting recent episodes. (I know that doesn't say a lot but it's well worth it and this is coming from someone who watched the Simpsons in the beginning)
@@insertgenericusernamehere2402 That one is a fun homage to the Coen Brothers, really nicely done. If anyone here is curious: it's season 33, episode 6 & 7.
The beginning of the episode after the movie was great. They leave a movie showing and bart wants to see another and Marge says something like "one movie is enough for the Simpsons"
My friend did the Simpsons side-spin on the ground when she smoked Salvia. It was legal at the time and you could buy it in stores. I tried it twice, that shit is nuts haha it only lasts a few minutes, but feels like a lifetime.
Personally, I think this movie is the pinnacle of bad Simpsons. Everything that's wrong with the later seasons being greatly amplified. It was absolutely nothing like the great episodes of the show's golden years. The first decade being infinitely better than what came after it (accept for a couple episodes that were decent in seasons 11 and 12). The original writers were legendary. They began leaving the show after season 7's completion, more left after season 8, and after season 9 most of them were gone. Once most of them left the show, the quality was absolutely terrible (mostly). It went from being the best animated show of all time to utterly unwatchable over the course of just a few seasons. A couple of the older writers came back for the movie but they only accounted for a couple good scenes. The move was still filled with censorship, jokes that didn't land, mainstay character personalities that were changed in order to "appeal more to non-simpsons fans," the story itself was too over the top (and not in a good, well written way) which took away from the tone the tv show had, the newly added characters were terrible, they changed Rainier Wolfcastle's name which made no sense (they literally could've just had him be President Wolfcastle and people still would've gotten the Schwarzenegger joke symbolically but they instead felt the need to spoonfeed it to people in a literal way by changing a mainstay character's name), and some characters voices sounded way off.
Its interesting seeing the opinion of someone unfamiliar with the show because I am part of the era that grew up with the Simpsons and even though this movie released during the decline of the show, a lot of the fans were somewhat underwhelmed by the movie Also the Spiderpig joke was used in all the marketing and was repeated so seen so many times before the movie was even released that when it got to that part in the movie everyone was quiet with the odd awkward overly enthusiastic laugh here or there, the perfect example of a film using its best joke in the trailer
Underwhelmed? I was a MASSIVE Simpsons fan (as well as some of my friends). We saw a midnight screening of the movie. The theater was packed and, when it was over, people clapped. When Maggie said "Sequel?" The crowd went nuts. The movie was quite loved amongst all The Simpsons fans I spoke too. It was huge at the time. I didn't hear anyone really express any disappointment in the movie. Also, in my theater, everyone sang along with "Spiderpig".
I was working at a 7-11 in Ellensburg, WA when this movie came out. We weren't one of the stores selected to change, but holy $&%#, the amount of Simpsons merchandise that we had was unbelievable.
Yeah, I remember visiting the only Kwik-E-Mart in Canada at the time with my kids. In fact my company produced all the Buzz Cola for that promotion. Fun times! 😁
What was really powerful to me was your reaction to how Ned was being a compassionate, patient and understanding figure to Bart. Imagine having a parent and spouse who is a selfish, callous, and egocentric FUCK-UP to their kids and family, like Homer was to Bart and the family, that I feels like night and day when you are with someone who shows you even the slightest sense of love and compassion. That’s just straight up heartbreaking. 💔
I loved Tracey's 1980s variety show on Fox, it was so good with great sketches and singing and guest stars. It will sadly never be on streaming or disc because they performed so many pop/rock songs over the course of the series.
We had a Kwik e Mart here in Dallas, TX where I live. It was awesome and surreal. Tons of Springfield themed merchandise inside, including Buzz Cola and Duff beer.
19:00 Nome, it's a town in Alaska probably hinting at them hiding there but it could also just be the only Alaskan way to make a home sweet home joke again.
"You Only Move Twice" (S2, E8) is a huge fan fave but for me it's just okay. It _is_ funny, no question, but I could never include it in a top 10 or even top 25 list of the show's stellar turns when there are so many others that are pure gold.
@@stdamonsbeard Ah, the voice actor connection. Gotcha. Reminds me--- I liked his work as Jacques in the early episode "Life on the Fast Lane" where he taught Marge bowling and wanted to have a fling with her (and I believe Jacques even returned in a later episode). Brooks has done a few voices for the show.
Americans think Canadians are the Flanders, btw. Also, if the Simpsons goes even one more season, this movie will be exactly in the middle of the run. The Simpsons run is not really in sight, however.
I remember when this came out, we went to Germany and it was HUGE there. It was the Summer of Spiderschwein. All the metal fests that year, you could hear "SPIDERSCHWEEEEEEIN" Spiderschwein, spiderschwein, macht was immer ein spiderschwein macht...
I was in my early 20s when The Simpsons began. There was a national mania about it but I never got hooked on the show. It's always been rather amusing when I came across it but I've never sought it out. It's referenced so much and clipped into everything so often, I feel like I know half of it anyway.
It’s funny The dvd set for season 9, which has the city of New York vs Homer Simpson, starts with a sneak preview to one of the scenes of the movie Has an early rough draft of when he first shows Marge the silo and and dumps it
I worked for a security company when this movie came out. I had to do a security at a 7Eleven that was promoting the Simpson Movie and the store was in the Chicago area. I forgot all about this until you both brought it up on the trivia. I remember it was so busy at the store but I got to talk to a lot of customers lol it was cool to see everything as Simpsons theme things too
0:25 HEY! Thats just my aspirin! Chuck it out!!!!!! Youre checkkkkkk innnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" lol you guys rule for knowing that song
The Alaska resident dividend is a real thing. The revenues from oil production are what allow Alaska to not have a state income tax or sales tax and residents get a $1000 dividend each year.
I'm an early 90s kid so I grew up on the 80s and 90s Simpsons. I'm pretty sure I went to watch this in the cinema, and I remember going to the new ride at Universal soon after. It still feels like it's not that old, so every time I remember how old this movie is I get a little jumpscared.
_Agreed!_ I laughed harder at jokes and gags from kid's shows more as an adult than as a kid. There's a gag where Uter literally gets beaten to death off camera and it makes me cry laugh. Also, same episode, "Those white flags are no match for our muskets!" Followed by a brutal onslaught of defenseless people begging for their lives. Peak Simpsons.
Oh yeah, for sure. You pick up on some more things. Some episodes of Scooby Doo crack me up as an adult. The one episode where Scooby says ‘‘spooooky’’ about the darkness beyond a door and then Shaggy says, ‘‘Did you really have to say it like that?!’’ 😄
Incase you missed the intro: this is new to only Simone.
I always like guessing the ones that George has already seen. This one was possibly the easiest 😂
I honestly can not believe she hasn’t seen the Simpson’s they are the ideal American family

@@vinapocalypse That's what I was going to say - Homer hasn't changed much at all compared the old episodes that started 35 YEARS ago

1:44 wow that’s a pretty good impression of Ralph. 1:52 between Seasons 18 & 19.
I've seen that motorcycle stunt. Alaska State Fair.
Marge vs. the monorail is a hommage to the music man, which is a fun musical.
That episode was written by Conan O'Brien. Is there anything he can't do?
An episode to recommend to Simmoan is The last exit to Springfield All time greatest episode.😊
My friend did the Simpsons side-spin on the ground when she smoked Salvia. It was legal at the time and you could buy it in stores.
I tried it twice, that shit is nuts haha it only lasts a few minutes, but feels like a lifetime.
Rumor has it that Spider-pig was the radioactive pig that bit the spider that became Peter Porker…
I'm glad you said you are Canadian, i really cared about that.
18:32 Alaska actually does pay residents a cash tax rebate collected from oil companies.(it is only economically viable due to the low population.)
Personally, I think this movie is the pinnacle of bad Simpsons. Everything that's wrong with the later seasons being greatly amplified. It was absolutely nothing like the great episodes of the show's golden years. The first decade being infinitely better than what came after it (accept for a couple episodes that were decent in seasons 11 and 12).
The original writers were legendary. They began leaving the show after season 7's completion, more left after season 8, and after season 9 most of them were gone. Once most of them left the show, the quality was absolutely terrible (mostly). It went from being the best animated show of all time to utterly unwatchable over the course of just a few seasons.
A couple of the older writers came back for the movie but they only accounted for a couple good scenes. The move was still filled with censorship, jokes that didn't land, mainstay character personalities that were changed in order to "appeal more to non-simpsons fans," the story itself was too over the top (and not in a good, well written way) which took away from the tone the tv show had, the newly added characters were terrible, they changed Rainier Wolfcastle's name which made no sense (they literally could've just had him be President Wolfcastle and people still would've gotten the Schwarzenegger joke symbolically but they instead felt the need to spoonfeed it to people in a literal way by changing a mainstay character's name), and some characters voices sounded way off.
Nome is a city in Alaska.
Its interesting seeing the opinion of someone unfamiliar with the show because I am part of the era that grew up with the Simpsons and even though this movie released during the decline of the show, a lot of the fans were somewhat underwhelmed by the movie
Also the Spiderpig joke was used in all the marketing and was repeated so seen so many times before the movie was even released that when it got to that part in the movie everyone was quiet with the odd awkward overly enthusiastic laugh here or there, the perfect example of a film using its best joke in the trailer
Yeah, it has some good jokes in it, but it's pretty underwhelming. Especially the wanted poster, that punchline was telegraphed from 4 miles away
Underwhelmed? I was a MASSIVE Simpsons fan (as well as some of my friends). We saw a midnight screening of the movie. The theater was packed and, when it was over, people clapped. When Maggie said "Sequel?" The crowd went nuts. The movie was quite loved amongst all The Simpsons fans I spoke too. It was huge at the time. I didn't hear anyone really express any disappointment in the movie.
Also, in my theater, everyone sang along with "Spiderpig".
My favorite thumbnail yet.

You got me down a Simpsons rabbit hole on UA-cam clips!
I was working at a 7-11 in Ellensburg, WA when this movie came out. We weren't one of the stores selected to change, but holy $&%#, the amount of Simpsons merchandise that we had was unbelievable.
For promotion when this came out we had a local 7-Eleven in Orlando Florida turned into a Kwik-E-Mart and it was awesome
20:25 fun fact... most of Tom Hanks running in Forest Gump was actually Jim Hanks( Tom Hanks's brother) running
The movie came out after season 18 and right before season 19.
The voice of Russ Cargill is Albert Brooks, who also voices Marlin in Finding Nemo
Yeah, I remember visiting the only Kwik-E-Mart in Canada at the time with my kids. In fact my company produced all the Buzz Cola for that promotion. Fun times! 😁
What was really powerful to me was your reaction to how Ned was being a compassionate, patient and understanding figure to Bart. Imagine having a parent and spouse who is a selfish, callous, and egocentric FUCK-UP to their kids and family, like Homer was to Bart and the family, that I feels like night and day when you are with someone who shows you even the slightest sense of love and compassion. That’s just straight up heartbreaking. 💔
Kamp Krusty was originally going to be a movie but they couldn't figure out how to expand it to feature length.
The early Simpsons with Angry Dad. Was based on short videos shown on the Tracy Ulman Show.
I loved Tracey's 1980s variety show on Fox, it was so good with great sketches and singing and guest stars. It will sadly never be on streaming or disc because they performed so many pop/rock songs over the course of the series.
We had a Kwik e Mart here in Dallas, TX where I live. It was awesome and surreal. Tons of Springfield themed merchandise inside, including Buzz Cola and Duff beer.
I forgot to mention this the first time i watched this. There an orc in the angry mob.
19:00 Nome, it's a town in Alaska probably hinting at them hiding there but it could also just be the only Alaskan way to make a home sweet home joke again.
The Hank Scorpio episode should have been one of your three you showed.
"You Only Move Twice" (S2, E8) is a huge fan fave but for me it's just okay. It _is_ funny, no question, but I could never include it in a top 10 or even top 25 list of the show's stellar turns when there are so many others that are pure gold.
@@eduardo_corrochio Not just because it’s great but because Albert Brooks is The head of the EPA and Hank Scorpio.
@@stdamonsbeard Ah, the voice actor connection. Gotcha. Reminds me--- I liked his work as Jacques in the early episode "Life on the Fast Lane" where he taught Marge bowling and wanted to have a fling with her (and I believe Jacques even returned in a later episode). Brooks has done a few voices for the show.
Americans think Canadians are the Flanders, btw.
Also, if the Simpsons goes even one more season, this movie will be exactly in the middle of the run. The Simpsons run is not really in sight, however.
Wow...The thumbnail is crazy good! If you've made that yourselves, thats some solid work!
Probably my favorite thumbnail from any channel/video…well done! I grew up watching The Simpsons with my dad. 🍩🍺
I remember when this came out, we went to Germany and it was HUGE there. It was the Summer of Spiderschwein. All the metal fests that year, you could hear "SPIDERSCHWEEEEEEIN"
Spiderschwein, spiderschwein, macht was immer ein spiderschwein macht...
The Spider-Pig meme was pretty big in America as well!
You HAVE to see the Hank Scorpio episode!
just half an hour of Simone & George laughing. its just great!
'There's something strange about that 'sop' sign'.
That killed me the first time i saw it 🤣
If you think the celebrity is talking, it probably is that celebrity. The number of cameos on that show...
I can remember when the Simpsons was introduced to the public as a movie intro in the theaters. 😀😀
I was in my early 20s when The Simpsons began. There was a national mania about it but I never got hooked on the show. It's always been rather amusing when I came across it but I've never sought it out. It's referenced so much and clipped into everything so often, I feel like I know half of it anyway.
It’s funny
The dvd set for season 9, which has the city of New York vs Homer Simpson, starts with a sneak preview to one of the scenes of the movie
Has an early rough draft of when he first shows Marge the silo and and dumps it
Maybe they (the box sets) released way later since s09 is 1998 and movie is 2007

I miss lazy homer. Where his dumb was out of him being lazy
"Take a walk with me, Homer."
"WALK!? Aaoow... That was never part of of the deal!"
I worked for a security company when this movie came out. I had to do a security at a 7Eleven that was promoting the Simpson Movie and the store was in the Chicago area. I forgot all about this until you both brought it up on the trivia. I remember it was so busy at the store but I got to talk to a lot of customers lol it was cool to see everything as Simpsons theme things too
0:25 HEY! Thats just my aspirin! Chuck it out!!!!!! Youre checkkkkkk innnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" lol you guys rule for knowing that song
The Alaska resident dividend is a real thing. The revenues from oil production are what allow Alaska to not have a state income tax or sales tax and residents get a $1000 dividend each year.
It’s not a set number and a portion of it has been stolen by state politicians over the last few years
For what's its worth, the "Lemon Of Troy" episode is one of my favorites.
South Park has had a joke of "Simpsons already did it" for decades, but they managed to get their theatrical movie out first. I find that very funny.
I'm an early 90s kid so I grew up on the 80s and 90s Simpsons. I'm pretty sure I went to watch this in the cinema, and I remember going to the new ride at Universal soon after. It still feels like it's not that old, so every time I remember how old this movie is I get a little jumpscared.
This was reaction I've been waiting for all week, so worth it great job guys.
'Nome sweet Nome' is referencing the city of Nome, Alaska. 🙂
I feel like cartoons you've seen as a child are funnier to you when you're an adult.
_Agreed!_ I laughed harder at jokes and gags from kid's shows more as an adult than as a kid.
There's a gag where Uter literally gets beaten to death off camera and it makes me cry laugh.
Also, same episode, "Those white flags are no match for our muskets!" Followed by a brutal onslaught of defenseless people begging for their lives. Peak Simpsons.
Oh yeah, for sure. You pick up on some more things. Some episodes of Scooby Doo crack me up as an adult. The one episode where Scooby says ‘‘spooooky’’ about the darkness beyond a door and then Shaggy says, ‘‘Did you really have to say it like that?!’’ 😄
