“The Bob Next Door” was actually the first exposure I had to the character, and it’s interesting how it kind of reboots Sideshow Bob, focusing on his relationship with Bart apart from his extended family, or even Krusty to some extent. I could tell that there was a lot of history to the character, and while I was a little lost, that’s what made the character intriguing to me. Nowadays, I’m always happy to see him return, but I agree with the sentiment that his story more or less ended in Season 8.

A little sad that you didn't mention the Simpsons Ride at the Universal Studios Parks, since they pretty much wrote the ride to be a Sideshow episode and having the ride plot around him. Kinda makes sense when you think that it originally was suppost to be a "Power Plant" theme ride, but they had to change it when Harry Shearer didn't accept the contract, but still. The Simpsons only have one Theme park Ride and they made sure to Include Bob and Kelsey Grammer's Perfomance on it center and focus and I find that very interesting and worth discussing.

I kinda want to check that Bob-Lisa episode out, they seem like they would have chemistry with one another when each of them loves being the smartest person in the room. Black Widower has got to be my favorite Bob episode just because we get all the threatening plans and mystery of Bob without some of the cartoonishness that debuted in Cape Feare.

Funeral for a fiend is actually great, imo. Bob was such a manipulator that he made Bart look like the bad guy and him as a guy who did nothing wrong in front of all Springfield. This is actually a pretty clever commentary on the manipulation of the masses and in the end even Bart started feeling guilty, out of peer pressure. Then we got one of the most chilling one liners in the show. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ3Mp3Rnet18e6M Bart: Now everyone wants me to be in that coffin instead of you! Bob(slowly opens the coffin): Then lets give the people... WHAT THEY WANT!!! Call me edgy, but sideshow bob episodes need to have a dark atmosphere like Cape Feare. Its kinda like the invader zim in the simpsons. A goofy show suddently becomes surprisingly dark and serious out of nowhere in a way it makes sense, while still having goofy moments here and there.

I think the trouble with later Sideshow Bob is that there's potential there, but it's buried under the ramped up wackiness. The earlier seasons were good at balancing the tonal differences between seasons with the main point of the story, but the later episodes tend to get too invested in one side which means the actual plot tends to wander off and ends up unsatisfying and just weird rather than funny.

[@caseysmith544]

Yes the ones after the one he leaves for Italy as is the Simpsons show as a whole gets lost in wacky.

[@sarafontanini7051]

they also definitely fell into the trap of making him strictly formula, making his shcemes ultiamtely be about murdering bart, while in the classic era only ONE of his plans had was about killing bart, and he had other schemes that had nothing to do with him. They also could've done more with his family after establishing them all as fellow villains, like a sorta evil counterpart to the entire simpsons family somehow.

I'll be honest: I think Sideshow Bob has an almost perfect record of episodes. I even like The Italian Bob, and I hate travel episodes. I admit that in the HD era it started getting spotty. There was an episode revolving around genetic manipulation that was all sorts of stupid and even one of my favorite characters couldn't save that one. It's kinda amusing. Krusty the Klown and Sideshow Bob are kinda tied to the nr 1 spot of my favorite Simpsons characters. It's funny that the two characters I love most are so closely related. So about The Bob Next Door: I don't mind it. I think the 'I don't care if you don't have a face!' gag is very funny. It's a mess, but it's funny.

It's always been heavily implied that he was actually a good person beforehand, and that whatever he experienced working for Krusty sent him down the wrong path.

[@rayvenkman2087]

Soon, we’ll have an episode where Sideshow Bob is the one being targeted by a killer when they’re getting stuck for ideas.

[@cortomaltese5206]

Is it bad that I like the idea?

[@rayvenkman2087]

Corto Maltese It’d be interesting to see Sideshow Bob be the one being threatened instead of him being the threat for a change and you could play with the character dynamics that way. It’s how they’ll execute it is my concern.

[@matti.8465]

Maybe Bob discovers someone else is planning to kill Bart and decides to protect him because of both Bob's possessiveness and strange attachment to Bart.

[@ChiefMedicPururu]

That's actually interesting. The (attempted) killer becomes the target.

What did you say, Chief?

[@FappleJackity]

When I was watching the Simpsons on TV at whatever pm every night, I remember loving seeing a new sideshow bob episode. Maybe it's just because of his character, maybe it's because I saw them so far apart. The one where they go to Italy is memorable to me for whatever reason.

[@christopheredwards788]

Thanks! He's one of my favorite characters 👍

[@WoTaWrEkK]

Finally! Sideshow Bob is my favourite side character of all time and the performance by Kelsey Grammer is always fantastic, even in the later seasons

I've been watching your videos a while now, love them lots. keep them up dude. I'm from Cambridge, England. Please do a few more post season 10 episodes, we all know they are not as good, but I think there are some fantastic hidden gems. I have a top ten myself that are as good as any season 1-9 episode

I always wondered why he didnt just quit being on the Krusty show.

[@tbirddddd]

He desperately wanted to run the show. In act 3 he creates a kid show that is better than Krusty's in every way. It just so happens he is also a criminal psychopath.

pride and vanity basically. It was easier to frame krusty for a crime and steal his show to become the center of attention, than it was to just quit and find a new job.

I can't wait for the next Sideshow Bob episode. It's in production now. And to provide just one favorite Bob moment is hard! Every moment is worth-while! He's my crush!

[@MungkaeX]

I always figured the reason he was banned for life from Comicbook Guy’s store was some pedantic argument about (insert anything Comicbook Guy cares about). Bob was probably technically right as well, and constructed an argument so airtight and perfect that all Comicbook Guy could do in response/retaliation is ban him from the shop.

[@megamike15]

i like to think bob told comic book guy comics arnt real literature and was banned on the spot.

[@ChiefMedicPururu]

It's probably one of the funniest bits of Season 12.

[@ChaserNeos]

Cape Feare is one of my favorite episodes. Not only because Sideshow Bob is a great character and making me appreciate G&S, but because there is a play that is based off the episode.

[@sideshowsniket]

There is???

@@sideshowsniket Yeah. It's called Burns, a Post-Electric play.

[@ronanhavern1980]

SIDESHOW BOB!!! How on earth did I not think of you making this ages ago hes such a great character

[@EightballReaper94]

Personally I've always loved Frink, though I also cant recall too much done with him, you wish more would be done with his inventions and a focus of any kind

[@ambermullins64]

There’s actually a few later season episodes that focus around him, and they’re fine I suppose. It’s nice to see a bit more being done with him. He’s always been a weird favourite of mine too.

[@TheBisness]

One of my favorite lines from Bob is his most neutral line but sounds very evil. It's really just his frustration in the episode, but good god it and he sound diabolical: "Sometimes I wish this dam would burst and bury this cursed town."

[@SuperGoomba10]

The Shelbyville suggestion is kind of hilarious to me, mostly because I was literally thinking about that exact possibility myself not too long ago. It's always struck me that Shelbyville actually comes up surprisingly rarely throughout the series considering there's supposed to be such a heated rivalry between the two towns, so I'd be pretty interested to see just HOW often it actually comes up. I'd also be kind of interested in seeing a history of Comic Book Guy. I've always found it interesting that, despite him being introduced as early as Season 2, my impression has always been that it really isn't until around Season 7 that he actually starts to feel like a prominent member of the show's recurring cast. Except, I was re-watching episodes relatively recently and discovered that there are actually at least two separate instances of him having dialogue in Season 5, which makes me highly curious as to just how prominent or... not-prominent he really was between Seasons 2 and 7.

[@Johnno9989]

Thanks for uploading this. Sideshow Bob is one of my favourite characters. Too many awesome moments to mention unfortunately. Speaking of next characters to analyse, Professor Frink would be a great choice.

[@CassPass73]

I wish the show explored more of Sideshow Bob's relationships outside of Bart in the Modern years, heck I'd love a Sideshow Bob and Mel episode

[@jailcatjones3250]

I love it when he and Cecil are together, they need their own show lol

[@sideshowsniket]

I know right? I think they should change the name though...Maybe Frasier 🤔

[@SonofMrPeanut]

From the pool of characters you mentioned, I'm on-board for a Frink Simpsons Histories.

[@philosophicalphil6611]

To me Gone Boy is my favorite modern Sideshow Bob episode.
