Thanks for having me guest for this video! I wasn't expecting the full stylistic homage! Great work! 🤣
(Also Shelbyville is a very weird place and I am glad the show is set in Springfield.)
I always enjoy watching your videos Jim.
Yeah...i don't trust a town that's willing to spike another towns drinking water out of spite!
Watched it yesterday. Very comprehensive
They have yellow fire hydrants
I knew shelbyville was just a weird springfield but damn, your video really exposed me to the horrors of poor shelbyville. I hope they enjoy their turnip juice.
"Mayor Quimby supports revolving-door prisons. Mayor Quimby even released Sideshow Bob, a man twice convicted of attempted murder. Can you trust a man like Mayor Quimby? Vote Sideshow Bob for Mayor."
One of my favorite Simpsons quotes
Loved that quote. Best part of the worst Sideshow Bob episode.
He'd vote for you
Remember how Jimbo and Kearnie were against cutting the head off Jebediah yet they were shown doing it in the intro? Remember Lisa found out he was really a pirate. Maybe Jumbo and Kearnie found out the truth later on and believed Lisa?
Just like people itl want to delete bad parts of history instead of learning from it
I believe i would go and visit the Simpsons themselves. Thank them for all the joy they brought to me....THEN go to the krustyburger.
You know, I'd say that's kinda creepy but tbf randos rock up on their doorstep daily and they just roll with it
@@slashbat2375 Exactly.
Agree
The poor monkeys
What if they don't know they're in a show
At this point The Simpsons are not The Simpsons without Lydia making a timeline
I would go visit Springfield Gorge because I want to see if that ambulance is still crashed into that tree.
My 2 favourite Simpsons youtubers joining forces, I love it!
I enjoy Springfield. Sure its founded by a pirate, but its a colourful place full of lovable people, mobsters, drunks, evil corporate businessmen and a very passionate baseball field! Not only does it's town hall like to break out in song on occasions, it's got one Helluva Burlesque House that do put the 'SPRING' in Springfield!
That fire hydrants line tripped me out when I was a kid, I would always wonder what color they were supposed to be 😂
A lot has changed in the Simpsons, and I find it crazy how so much has changed back when I was a kid to being 19 now.
You? I've been watching it change with the times since I was a kid, and I'm 40
Keep it up Lydia. Not only will you hit the 200k mark the show could give your simpsons counterpart more episodes since your channel has been getting people interested in the show again.
She just did after your comment lol
@@blackhatfreak 😂.
I want to go to Springfield's Natural History Museum when they have the human body exhibit because that just seems so much fun
I loved seeing you and Jim working together in this video! My two favorite Simpsons channels/personalities! I would probably definitely go to the Kiwk-E Mart!
Super slushy 😁😵💫
Amazing video
I would visit:
- The Kwik-E-Mart to buy some delicious stuff or getting sick
- Chester J. Lampwick's Golden Mansion to take a good photo
- The Jazz Hole to listen some good jazz
- Krustylu Studios to see how is the work of all the programation of the TV in Springfield like Smartline
Please do the timeline of Gil
If Springfield exists, I would love to go meet The Simpsons in person. 🤩
Imagine that, Lydia!
Little known fact: Shelbyville Manhattan had a brother named Pittsburgh who went on to found the town of Detroit.
I used to think that Springfield was the most common name for American towns but apparently it's not and actually it's Riverside that is the most common name for an American town.
Strange, I live close to Riverside County in California!! Bet there is an Orange County in Florida and Texas!!✌
Doh! Riverside is my home. But which one?
Once again great video, your in-depth analysis of simpsons episodes make me love the show 10x more
I remember as a kid I wrote a book about one of my teachers vacationing in Springfield and meeting the Simpsons.
This is why I love your videos
The history of springfield is weird and awesome, the creators have so much ideas.
Nice video
I really appreciate you using Jim's style for his segment.
Lydia, Excellent work, as ever. .. and these people are crazy, I'd go straight to the Cider Mill to get my season pass, pays for itself after the sixteenth visit!😉
You know, most people don't know the difference between apple cider and apple juice, but I do. Now here's a little trick to help you remember. If it's clear and yella', you've got juice there, fella. If it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town. Now, there's two exceptions and it gets kinda tricky here...
@@abbassheikh9159 I love this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great answer 😂😂
@@TheSimpsonsTheory you're amazing x!
Talking to my brain "that's it you can listen to this I'm outta here"😎
I'd go to the Duff Brewery. I want to find out how they make Duff Light - it tastes just as good as regular Duff, I swear.
Jago is a Simpsons fan too !
Sup Jago!
After all these years we still don't know what state they are in lol
I believe Springfield is an SCP
Yaaaaaaaaas!! I've always wanted to live in Springfield and go to Apu's store!!
Yeah The Simpsons movie does seem like a good place to end it. However many years later there was episode 500 I think and The Simpsons themselves moved to a nearby small town to getaway from Springfield, but then Springfield just move themselves over to that town and took over so that's something else that happened later on but oh well.
I will want to see if it's really five corners where you can see 5 different states in one location
I'd move to Springfield. The Krustyburger would be my first stop.
I'm going to Universal Studios soon, and I can't wait to try a Krusty Burger for real
@@TheSimpsonsTheory I didn't even know that they had a real Krustyburger. I hope you show us how it is, and have a wonderful trip!
@@tenebrousoul9368 thank you! I'm planning to film it and make a video 🙂
@@TheSimpsonsTheory well, if you and Mr. Lydia are ever in Arkansas, and need a couch to crash on, lmk.
I'd go right to Moe's Tavern and get drunk with Homer.
I really enjoyed this video. The closest I'll ever get to Springfield is at Universal Studios, and it's worth it. Especially for the giant donut
Absolutely 🤤🍩
Thanks for this cohesive video. I have previously thought that nothing in The Simpsons is as flexible and bowsing as the history of Springfield, which bends every time to the demands of the story that moves the episode forward, for example, sometimes Jebediah is canon and sometimes not. But this video helped me understand that history has managed to keep its cohesiveness unlike I thought.
I'm heading on down to lard-lad donuts 🍩 first, then probably down to the town square to sit and people watch.
You’re about to hit 200k Lydia! Well done and completely deserved ❤
Thank you 😊
I've been re watching the treehouse of horror episodes and I swear the scream at the end of thoes episodes makes me jump everytime even when I know it's comming
Okay
I have 4 questions for you:
Question 1: Can you list all the episodes where Maggie is wearing her star shaped snowsuit?
Question 2: Can you list all the episodes where Maggie is wearing her star shaped snowsuit with the hood down?
Question 3: Can you list all the episodes where Maggie is wearing her star shaped snowsuit unzippered?
Question 4: Can you list all the episodes where Maggie is putting on her star shaped snowsuit?
May I ask why?
I totally love watching your videos. You have answered so many Simpsons questions that i had. Thank you!!!
love watching the timeline videos, this one's no exception!
I would visit the Springfield library first
The Simpsons theory how long do you think you’ll last in Springfield
This is just a more entertaining history of post-war America.
Great Job as Always Lydia! If I was to visit a place in Sringfield, I would have to pick Moe's Traven to hangout with favorite character Homer Simpson.
Are you grabbing a Duff, Duff Lite or Duff Dry?
@@TheSimpsonsTheorya Duff Lite.
Excellent video guys. I enjoy y'all content.
If I visit Springfield my place, the visit will be the Krusty burger
Kwik-E-Mart would be my pick, you could probably encounter all of the wacky regulars if you loiter around for a day
I would come to Nelson and Lisa's wedding in Springfield!
Congrates to 200 k its crazy how far You made it
I'd imagine the first place I'd go is the doctor to ask why in the world I woke up in a cartoon... then probably the simpsons house
I would honestly just wander around, don't think I could choose just one location.
If I ever visited Springfield I would go to comic book guy his store to buy the latest issue of Radioactive Man.
I love your channel so much!!! This video was greatttt
That overlook that rex banner was on when he said he was gonna catch the beer baron. 1. Beautiful view 2. Great acoustics I guess cause the beer baron can be heard from literal miles away
Thanks 4 this, good memories and Nostalgia.
I also think Springfield is in Oregon, it's got lakes mountains beaches and deserts, thats where it lives in my head anyway
epic video Lydia! 😁
Springfield has history and time even though it seems timeless and the characters not aging except the Spucklers and some on the outskirts of town.
For a second i thought i misclicked onto a TheRealJims video! What a nice little collab and a fun video overall!
"after 600 miles" got me 🤣🤣 . That's the average miles you need to brakein miles for a vehicle. Basically: as soon as someone used the car any way but over gingerly, it exploded.
My pet theory is that Springfield is located in Virginia. It's history goes back all the way to colonial times and Virginia was one of the first British colonies in the Americas. Furthermore Jebediah Springfield once attempted to assassinate George Washington, who was from Virginia. Flash several decades and Monty's grandad Colonel Burns owned slaves which indicates that Springfield must have been in the south where slavery was legal. And considering how Virginia saw a lot of action during the Civil War, its no surprise that there were battles found at and around Springfield. Also Virginia is a coastal state, which makes sense since Springfield has a port with access to the sea. Then there's the fact that Virginia has an army base, navy base and air force base, all of which have came up and played a part in certain episodes.
I love how you decided to make it look like it ended with the simpsons movie. That's also how I see it and I won't ever see it any other way cause this makes the most sense.
This was awesome!! Now, where would I go first in Springfield.. Hmm.. Probably to the beach before the jellyfish got there
You know where you'd find me? In the rumpus room. It's just so cozy and quiet!
Congratulations on 200k! Keep up the excelllenttt videos!
Thank you so much!
1st place i'd visit in Spring Field is Lard Lad Donuts so I.can pose in front of the statue with a colossal donut! Sweet video Lydia! Also love the collaboration with Real Jim's Shelbyville video! Its a perfect continuation! ❤
I can't wait to get my hands on the Simpsons donuts at Universal again 🤤
Thank you Lowell! TheRealJims is always a joy to work with.
Awesome video, I guess I'd go to that tire burning place first 😅 maybe attempt to put it out?
One of the best Simpsons related memories I have is of a birthday party in Brooklyn,NY for the bass player of the all female punk band, The N.Y. Rel-X (from NYC, duuuh, not D'oh!), and two guests there..legendary punk guitarist Dez Cadena(Black Flag and Misfits particularly) and the incredibly beautiful vocalist of NJ band 'Banner of Hope'; looking over and naming every (at the time) character we could name. All while decently drunk..good times indeed.
First place I'd go - the Kwik-E-Mart, I want to try a concentrated squishy and a yoodle. I'll pass on the hot dogs.
For me? I would visit the Springfield National Forest. It seems so peaceful ❤
I'd visit the Historic town. Like history.😊
I cannot wait for you to have 200k Subscribers Lydia!
Thank you! Only 100 more to go
I love that your do Simpson videos too I'm a new fan and loves your videos 🔥
I’d visit the Simpsons and get acquainted with them; after that, I’d take them on separate adventures.
For Bart:
-See a movie at the Aztec Theater
-Do some parasailing on Lake Springfield
-Pull several pranks on Milhouse
-Set off a series of events that gets Springfield Elementary School closed for a year
For Lisa:
-Spend some time at the library
-Tour Fort Springfield and Olde Towne Springfield
-Buy her a new saxophone at the music store
-Go to a school concert at a gazebo in the park and hear her saxophone solo
For Marge:
-Go to the Springfield Mall and buy her a new wardrobe
-Do some painting in the park
-Attend services at the PresbyLutheran church
-Do some baking
-Plant a potato garden
-Give her lots of hugs and a shoulder to cry on as she always has to keep everything together yet she clearly needs to get things out of her system
For Maggie:
-Play in the park
-Take her to a Chuck E Cheese type restaurant
-Tour a play doh factory
-Get the other babies out of the Ayn Rand Daycare Center
All three kids:
-Attend a taping of the Krusty the Clown show
For Homer:
-Bowl several games at the bowling alley
-Go to Moe’s and help Moe in several shenanigans
-Go up in the helicopter with Barney for a tour of Springfield
-Go to the power plant, hang with Carl and Lenny, find several interns to take the blame for one of Homer’s incidents at work, and find a way to keep Smithers and Burns at bay
After that, I would spend some with Ned Flanders as he would be pretty cool to hang out with despite his rather intense religiousity. Once that is done, I’d have to do at least a few capers with Mr. Burns and/or Fat Tony as that would be the only way to keep Smithers and Burns at bay while I was at the plant with Homer. If I managed to keep my sanity and not go to jail; I’d consider having a second home there.
Lard Lad Donuts, Krustyburger and then Flanders backyard shed for a huge humpty dumpty. xD
The statue of Jebediah Springfield is the first place I'd visit.
I would love Springfield because of all the wacky stuff that happens every day. Every day would be so exciting.
Nice! Realjims is how I found this channel originally
Most definitely either kwik-e-mart or Moe's Tavern, love your videos btw!!
OMG I've had that guide to Springfield book for probably twenty years. I didnt know other people knew about it.
Jebediah would be proud!
I remember when the movie came out and they had that contest you get to pick where Springfield is located in the United States. I took part in it thinking that obviously they would pick Springfield Ohio my home state because Nancy Cartwright is from Fairborn which is right outside of Springfield Ohio. But no they picked Springfield Vermont because there's a nuclear power plant nearby apparently.
I'd go to Evergreen Terrace to chill with the Simpsons, then go to Ned's Beatles room. I'm a fan of them.
Either Springfield elementary to see about helping those kids out or KrustyLu studios since it’s easy to get into just tell the guard you work there.
Kwik e mart. I need a slushy before the tour 😅😂
If I ever went to Springfield 1st I'd go to Noiseland Arcade, shop and Androids dungeon followed immediately by the much better and probably cheaper Coolsville Comics, and end with a Space Mutants movie at the Aztec Theater
Film theory actually has a video where they try to figure out where Springfield is located in the states, it came out before you did one and in truth you two seem to agree very strongly about the location. Worth a watch.
The Comic Book Store to get into a massive nerd debate with Comic Book Guy.
Your videos are just amazing 💛🤩 and I would visit moe’s first
I can’t wait until we learn about West Springfield
Love therealjims!
mystery spot
Id go first to the Springfield Retirement Castle to give Abe and his friends some hugs. I lost both of my Grandpas within a few years of each other (one in 2019 and one in 2022). Abe is one of my favorite characters and I used to work with seniors before my asthma got worse and PTSD as well (long story)
0:28 So THAT’S what is going on in there!
The simpsons need to do another Shelbyville focused episode, and I mean Sully set in the town of Shelbyville.
0:25 Huh. Simpsons did a bottomless pit before Gravity Falls. XD
Yeah actually Mr. Burns is a pretty good boss considering there's been 17 meltdowns under Homer Simpsons position as being safety inspector.
Wow, what place i would visit was such a good question i was stumped. The three eyes fish
I would love to visit the Simpson's home, and just wander around. I'd also like to see the Flanders' home with his Forbidden Room of Mystery..
Springfield is filled with interesting history.
If I was in the Simpsons Springfield I'd visit krusty burger
I want to visit Frink. He would have some cool stuff.
I have had a thought about why Springfield has so many different areas, it may be possible that Springfield includes it's surrounding areas under the "Greater Springfield Region" as well as the town of Springfield itself.
And you know, something occurred to me. Even if Jebediah was an evil pirate, that doesn't directly invalidate him being the founder and folk hero for Springfield.
On a side note, I know I am sounding pedantic here but Shelbyville having Speedy Mart doesn't really work because Kwik E Mart is a franchise, not an independently owned store.
Would love to learn who played the cover of Spinach Rag from Final Fantasy VI during the Shelbyville segment.
