With Hawking, I did find him saying "people who boast about their IQ are losers" but that doesn't mean he says IQ is irrelevant. It just means that he thinks these so called smart people are losers for trying to act better than others based on their IQ. If you got sources that say otherwise though, I would love to see them.

I've been doing some maths on this one, because I was curious. Smithers said she'd been there for 75 hours. A rough timing on the clip shows she was pulling the lever on that bandit every two seconds. 75 hours is 270,000 seconds and, assuming she kept up that rate, that is 135,000 turns on the machine. Each turn costs a quarter, so she spent $33,750 in that time. And she only won sixty dollars. Gambling is a mugs game.

[@JanAside]

Where'd she get that much money

[@thomasb.5643]

Well, since you win back some of the money, you don't actually spend $33,750, you need to take into account the difference between losses and winings. Tipically the slot machines have a return between 90 and 95% for 1 dollar. At the end it's quite impressive that she even won sixty dollars, with such an amount of turns it'd be almost a given that she'd be down by thousands of dollars.

Homer: Marge we need to talk. You're spending too much time at the casino and I think you may have a problem. Marge: I won $60 last night! Homer: WOOHOO Problem Solved!!! That's classic Homer

[@HybridPhoenix08]

"I think you may have a problem." "I won $60 last night." "WOOHOO! Problem solved!"

Homer scary face when Lisa tells him about the boogeyman is always so hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 give to the man who animated that expression an Oscar, a Grammy and a Nobel prize!

[@Fan_of_The_Sailor_Scouts]

The one time the Wife was Wrong. Honestly, I was expecting Homer to Lose all of the Family's Money.

Now, after the term "Florida Man" has become a meme even here in Germany, I appreciate these Simpson Cartoons even more!

[@SpaceCadet45s]

Aah!! 😱 FLORIDA MAN!

[@SunstriderGames-cx7vr]

I love how Homer's Rage against Gamblor just helps everyone win.

[@philasyr]

I'm so glad there are other people who find this so funny. You are all wonderful individuals.

When I first saw this I thought you said worthless I was pleasantly surprised when I double checked

[@ugoewulonu4936]

@philastine Well right back at’cha!

[@Quinntus79]

So sweet of Homer to validate Lisa’s fears like that.

[@DivineAtheistWannabe]

"I dreamed the boogeyman was after me...." "ARRRRGGGGHHHHH Boogeyman!!!"

"I'm not a state, I'm a monster" Perfect Florida outfit if you ask me

[@albert.escobar31]

nice edit, condensed episode with the jokes!

[@bigtimetimmyjim6486]

Spectacular title too, 10/10.

[@ThefamousMrcroissant]

This has to be one of my favourite Simpsons episodes. Every joke in it lands.

[@lbboardingb3356]

so many amazing moments in just 4 minutes

[@ericgarringer6911]

Gamblor sounds like a he-man villain lmfao

[@MedicTF2-lx8ne]

a really underrated joke in this episode is when homer grabs a phone from someone on a call and just says "cant talk now" and keeps running. had me in tears

[@EfficientTrout]

"No No! That's too expensive! Just promised me you quit gambling."

[@Sou1defiler]

When I first saw this episode I lived in Scotland. Never once did I think I would actually live in Florida. I have lived here in Florida now for 9 years. Lisa was right. It's a monster.

[@lucask4377]

Why did you go from Scotland to Florida? Seems like a bit of a downgrade.

[@ifoundthewords]

Why were you there for 9 years then lmao

[@MegaZeta]

As I grew up, I came to find “geography pageant” funnier and funnier as a joke, probably because I forgot the goofy tasks I was actually given in school

[@_Matsimus_]

Gamblor is basically mr burns with a dolphin tail and trident lol

[@crapadopalese]

The most subtle joke is at 1:36 when the door actually opens to the outside and the barricade is useless.

[@girandpiggy95]

all these years and i never realized...

[@crapadopalese]

Fast Forward Videos I don't see any shot showing something else. Perhaps you're seeing the close up shot of the door with a wrong perspective? Also, think about it - how does Marge open the door so easily if it's to the inside? Knowing the Simpsons' writers, they wouldn't gloss over such a detail, definitely when there's a low hanging practical joke they can insert

[@ButThatsMuhFreeduhm]

I think the door opening to the inside is only for visual effects. That joke with the barricade is intended, the chairs etc, are falling outside of the room. The door opening inside is the mistake.

[@marks6663]

Door opens to the inside. Watch it again.

[@crapadopalese]

@@marks6663 So how does marge open it so easily with all those items blocking it?

[@Delvirus84]

The shotgun going off when Homer throws it down, nice touch 🤣

[@MisterVercetti]

"Bart, I don't want to alarm you, but there may be a boogeyman or boogeymen in the house," Homer said calmly.

[@gradualdecay]

1:46 I love how the gun goes off

[@Valorant-is-Trash]

In a world with Fanduel and BetMGM, the world needs the message behind Springfield more than ever.
