+clowntrooper61 Its the "Inverted Jenny" from 1918, there are only 100 of them worldwide. Current price is nearly 135 grant each.

[@vguyver2]

+Dmitri Cherkasski A legitimate hand written copy of the The Declaration of Independence from that same era. Ouch! A near mint copy of Action Comics 1. On no... An entire sheet of "Inverted Jenny", incorrectly printed vintage stamps. Oh God! An original Stradivarius. Nooooo!

I love the mayor talks to the guards who don’t talk back like talking to a brick wall. It’s so common in shows too.

every time i run across this clip for years the mayor has me laughing with the human roaches line.

[@heliumtrophy]

Skinner could probably use that in this social distancing era and no one would think he was weird.

[@sircolt8184]

I love the small details like Lisa's pupils getting bigger after learning a kid poked it's eye out or how Hermann owns a nuke that is just casually hanging from the sky in the background.

[@sircolt8184]

And of course for some reason Quimby imitating the Kennedy speech by speaking broken German while everybody cheers. It's like an insane asylum where everybody is friends with each other and the viewer. I love this show.

24601 - surprised Skinner didn't say something like for that price I couldn't dare 'look down' on it or my time in Vietnam wasn't so 'miserable' (reference to Les Miserables where prisoner 24601 was Jean Valjean the main character)

Best tiny detail is the front rope of the nuke in the background is frayed to mere strings at 1:25

[@beowulf1417]

Every part of this 1:59 video is pure comedy gold. It would skate through today's PC culture (not a criticism nor an endorsement of it so let's not have that discussion) and a lot of this stuff would still land with multiple demographics. If only the modern seasons could manage to have at least this much humour in an entire episode.

[@mar10ssj1]

"Human roaches, feeding off each others garbage" that's what I think of the comment section.

[@DanielTorres-ee4pl]

Just realized when the mayor spoke German it was to reference when Kennedy gave his speech at the Berlin Wall and spoke German to the German people attending the speech

[@cpcoultertweedles7216]

I flinched a little when Homer tossed away the Stradivarius, even though I know that even if it's a real one, it would cost a second fortune to bring it back to full quality, and even then it won't sound that great. That's the issue with string instruments. You neglect them, and they will make you suffer for it

[@CarthagoMike]

Everyone talking about how Skinners background story still matches, but nobody talking about the *_prisoner 24601_* reference. Guess Les Miserables isn't as known today as it used to be.
