It's scary when the person you can most relate to from Simpsons is something between Barney and Otto... I sure played some guitar in high school, to the extent of almost failing the finals.
I really felt for Barney in the episode where they gave him helicopter lessons as a joke thinking he would never be able to stay sober enough to go through it.
I can relate. As a fan of Simpsons I could always total8 relate to Otto. And maybe to a Comic Book Guy a little due to his constant cold blooded irony.
Homer proving the guitar is real by whacking himself in the head with it always made me think of Samuel Johnson refuting the philosophy of immaterialism by kicking a stone.
The most impressive thing is Otto playing left handed guitar wrong way that well. The guitar is super cursed anyway, tremolo and knobs are on the different sides.
I love that Bart's fantasy doesn't involve any musicianship whatsoever: we see him insulting his adoring audience and in a wasted and bloated state, "slagging off" his bandmate. "Ughhh-ughhhhh!" "COOL!" LOL
Maybe another reason why Bart can’t play it is because he’s playing the guitar inverted? He’s playing left handed but the guitar might be right handed ?
The reason that Bart couldn’t play was because he’s left handed but the the strings were inverted for a right handed guitarist, if you listen to the bit where Bart strums the guitar you can tell the strings are the wrong way around, that’s why Otto could play it so well even though it was a left handed guitar
Bart's a left hander and has a left handed strat copy. Otto is a right hander and turns it upside-down. He plays a monumental solo which means he is the best guitar player in history- he literally played the guitar upside-down. On top of all of that, THE GUITAR IS AMPLIFIED EVERYWHERE IT IS PLAYED WITHOUT AN AMPLIFIER. That's cartoons I guess....
sigh I remember when audiences could appreciate scenes like this for what they are instead of trying to pick apart cartoon logic.. "he's playing the guitar upside down" "the guitar has a built in amp" "lisa is being mean when bart just trying to play" what's next? slams because the animation on Otto's fingers don't match the notes being played? haven't seen that one, yet
I love when Bart fantasizes about self-destruction and comes back to reality with "Coool!"
I had myself performing at a cafe and I winked at my girlfriend.
lmao that's the best part
Dreaming of fame and fortune, realistic edition.
Lmao I love the one where he imagines being a drifter. "Lousy sheriff, run me out outta town... He's lost my vote."
I appreciate the fact that the guitar has a mysterious built in amp
A lot of Japanese made guitars from the 70s have this feature.
@@joseislanio8910 The Japanese are always decades ahead of us. They make things that go obsolete before the Americans even knew they existed....

You can actually get some guitars like that, they're just not very good quality
@@Tygermetal Yeah, I had a friend who owned one. It's not really a great investment unlrss you're buying it second hand

Otto pulls off an amazing guitar solo playing a left handed guitar.
it's like Jimi Hendrix he's left handed but plays a right handed guitar

This is why I loved 90's Simpsons, so many 80's Rock references
I literally start laughing to the point of tears every time Homer hits himself in the head with the toy guitar to prove it a real item.
It's like that time Marge calls him complicated and he has to prove her wrong by smashing a plate over his head and yelling "WRONG!"
Homer genuinely thought Marge meant it was a hologram (or hallucination). Boy, he really is stupid.
Bart fantasizing about becoming a drugged-out rock star always made me laugh.
And he developed a British accent!
Homer head sounded pretty much the same as the wooden bar of baby bed when he hit it with the toy-guitar.
Let's give Bart props for having it in tune for otto to shred 🤘
“Now boy, we spent a lot of money so you’d better get real good real fast or POW!”
He'd do it in the '90s version of the show. When it was good and not just a bunch of politically correct toothless overused gags like it is today.

Am I crazy, or did Otto play a lefty guitar right-handed?

But Nelson laughed at him 😐

Should be fired for that blunder.

There have been several guitars with with a built-in amp/speaker over the years, usually for beginners, some quite well made.
It was nice of Otto to complement Bart's guitar knowing it was probably one of those guitars
check out the nova go sonic guitar. it's fuckin sick as hell man
Must be really difficult for him to play a left-handed guitar right handed
I always played right handed guitars left handed. It's not hard.
It can be done, just gotta restring it.

Right. He wants the stardom but doesn't really care about musicianship. And ends up being the rock band version of Homer.
Rock and roll otto my man 1:41
Oh the details in these early Simpsons episodes! Bart got a real sucky beginner guitar song book full of songs no one wants to play.
This was my childhood.
Bart is canonically left-handed! Wonder if they got that guitar from the Leftorium 😂
Bart couldn't play, hands it to Otto and he's a god❤️
1:26 just noticed that Nelson’s shirt and vest switch colours
1:33 Did anyone notice that Bart's books change from green to blue? 🤣
Boy, I really hope someone got axed 🎸 for that blunder.
I wonder if they got the guitar from the Leftorium?
homer’s confusing “encouraging” with “motivating”.
Electric guitar with a built-in battery and amplifier. And the speaker flips from the bottom to the top throughout the clip. 😆
It doesn’t flip Otto is just playing it upside down you can see the head is upside down too
1:41 My older brother could really rock the guitar like that. Drove our parents berserk. 🎸🎶🎵
That's so cool 😎
Just checking is he still around?

30 years later and I still tell people to slag off.

He’s playing left handed but the guitar might be right handed ?
Cool! A 6 fret guitar with the whammy bar on the bass side, and a built in overdrive!, lucky kid😊
And modulation!
"The admiral and I don't get along..."
I have this same type of guitar with a built in amp in the corner. its a symsonics terminator from the 80s. it's sick as hell for what it is lol
Dale duro Otto, dale duro Otto, como en nuestro equipo, nunca habrá otro...

Reminds me of my first guitar. It was a crappy knockoff red strat and I’d give anything to have it back.
the toy guitar is more like jack in a box
That's what it was.
This is actually a deep episode.
Nelson’s jacket is wrong colour

So Otto is like Paul McCartney and can play the guitar opposite handed to what he’s used to

Bart's magic guitar. Bart plays left handed and Otto right handed.
I noticed that. The whammy bar is on the other side when Otto is explaining to Bart that all he did in high school was play guitar.
Oh Really? Give It here 1:38

Me every time i buy a new art supply or art tech
I know that feeling, especially from clueless parents who only try to help.
Magic guitar goes from left handed to right handed lol.
Otto has benefits.
Didn’t know Bart was a lefty!
I'd like to slow things down for a minute
also that looks like my Westone Concord II
"heh, give me it 😎"
Knock it off. Knock...it...OFF!
Wow an ambidextrous guitar. Can be played lefty or righty
Otto is part of the community and is something! Might not be paid loads, but screw you Otto's dad!

Don’t forget all those high pitched licks being played on the lower frets
The amp is on the guitar
Not as hard as you’d think. I sold guitars for years and I demo’d plenty of left-handed guitars for customers despite being a righty.
A wizard did it
You can see its a kids guitar model with a built in speaker. They were popular in the 70s.
Am I supposed to jump on a band wagon here and point out the guitar is a lefty? Am I out of the club if I don't tell everyone that I noticed?
he has 0.90 fingers
Hmm Otto could have applied for a music job at the school now couldn't he?
The 80s stereotype of a loser bus driver is infinitely more successful and intelligent than today’s standard bus driver in America
Sounds like the guitar has an amp, but it doesn't 😑
the amp is built into the guitar in the corner
