I'm Lee Majors, Will You Come Away With Me? (The Simpsons)

I think it just continued from where it left off.

[@Akatsukileader9]

Just like Lee Majors

[@Muonium1]

I don't know why but this bit has always been *incredibly* hilarious to me. Maybe it's Marge's unconsidered "sure", maybe it's the '70s sci-fi tv show sound effects, I don't know, but it slays me.

[@riflemanm16a2]

The fact that we can still hear the sound effect when we're no longer in Marge's fantasy is what I've always found so funny.

[@nas84payne]

🚀

[@TooMuchT.V.]

@@riflemanm16a2 For me, it's how the people around Marge and Lee smile and look up as they fly into bliss.

[@rohunsaigal2576]

It's the sound effect the 2nd time that sells the bit

[@polygonpunk]

It’s def the second sound effect that’s audible even though we don’t see the fantasy at that point. Plus it’s slightly muted for extra effect. It’s such a perfect gag

[@GaelicCelt1990]

The fact that Marge managed to generate actual sound from her internal fantasy is pretty impressive

[@lordsmorgasbord2646]

I like the implication that every Lee Majors fantasy Marge has ends with them flying away into space

how could anyone write smth this brilliant

[@ajhhc]

The writers gathered around a coffee table in a badly lit room for the entire work day. They had to come up with funny stuff in order to keep their sanity. That, basically, was the golden formula.

[@ggsilik]

They all went to the most expensive and therefore best school there is.

[@stevenjneptuneman8409]

I like how Marge hasn’t aged even though Bart would be a college graduate in her fantasy.

[@kisbie]

Also that Lee Majors still looks as he did in the 70s, which was already 20 years in the past.

The sound kills me

[@hyethga]

Part of what I think made classic Simpsons so brilliant is that scenes like this really played to the popular culture and memories of people who came of age in the 1960s and 1970s, watching shows like the Six Million Dollar Man. Those of us who were a little younger when we watched the Simpsons in the 1990s could perhaps not immediately relate to it but we could ask our parents, who definitely did. Once the late '90s and early 2000s rolled around, it became harder to do so, not least because, whether the show's creators wanted to or not, Homer and Marge were also aging. Perhaps if they really "aged" in the show, the show would be able to retain something of its luster, but it became increasingly harder once the '60s and '70s faded away and you had to now make references to current-day events and figures to keep the show going. That's why I think the Simpsons is the quintessential show of 1990s American culture.

[@mjandrew9282]

The take off sound makes it 🎶🦹🏻‍♂️

[@arrownoir]

With a last name like Majors, he was born to be successful.

[@kisbie]

Fun fact: Former British Prime Minister John Major was given his dad’s stage name for his surname at birth. Maybe there’s a lesson in there for us all.

[@matthewmcneany]

He's 82 in Feburary of 2022.

This comment is just gay

[@kisbie]

In Family Guy, it’d be ‘when Peter had Lee Majors Syndrome’ and we’d have three minutes of him doing everyday things slowly to that sound effect.

[@leobastian_]

because its not a cutaway gag, its a fantasy the whole thing about cutaway gags is that they are barely related to the topic

[@calzabbath]

Man, Simpsons is pure gold. I have seen so many references to my own malfunctioning family that I couldn’t list them all. But let’s just state the most obvious one: Bart is clearly a kid with no discipline or special talent whatsoever, but his mother dreams of him becoming a Harvard graduate, probably a projection of her own failures. Well I had this aunt many years ago who dreamed of her son (my cousin) becoming a doctor when she was the one who had dropped university and the guy clearly hadn’t any interest in books, studying or the like. Marge’s dream of eloping with a movie star is also a clear denial of how badly her partner choices went. I mean she loves Homer but can’t accept his inability to adjust to responsibilities in life. My cousin today reminds me a lot of Homer Simpson.

[@Donteatacowman]

I SWEAR I thought she was going to say "I really need to stop doing all those drugs"
