I recently updated my editing software, so welcome to a new era of fewer pixelated images and less ghosting! In the previous versions, when I would shrink certain images they would get kinda pixel-y and bad, so hopefully this video will look noticeably more crisp and shiny. Let me know if you do see a difference with the visuals. (Ironically, I was dealing with an episode with some of the most smudgy screencaps, lol. Maybe I need to buy a new Season 7 DVD.)

[@bertfromseasamestreet]

[@ben_8710]

[@maxresdefault_]

I would LOVE a video about how you make videos

[@ouroborosproductions]

Just curious what were you editing on and what did you switch to?

[@V00doo1Xim]

I said it before and I'll say it again. Do the video on picking the best segments from each non-treehouse of horror anthology segment. Here's how I may actually do it Instead of a top 10 or 20 list, you'll review each non-treehouse of horror anthology episode and its segments and "pick" the greatest segment in that episode. So, e.g. Season 8: The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase. My favorite segment of that one is the Chief Wiggum segment. Then move to the next one, review all three segments, pick the best one and repeat until you get to the latest one at the time. (Season 32: Now Museum, Now You Don't) You can count short 1-minute segments like Homer as King Solomon but I would recommend not to count those short segments and only count the three main ones.

Skinner’s mother screaming “HELP! HEEEELLLLP!” at the end is one of the funniest soundbites in the entire series

[@harryford1919]

That combined with Skinner's grin and thumbs up is one of the all time great Simpsons moments.

[@loudris442]

Also the firetruck

[@guldmattbb473]

I think it’s crazy that Steamed Hams is so perfectly written that, even having seen it meme’d to death, it’s still legitimately still super funny to me. It’s just the perfect comedy set up, and perfectly cast with Chalmers and Skinner. I love how unnecessarily perceptive and confrontational Chalmers is the entire time, while Skinner just keeps snowballing the most pointless lie ever. The Aurora Borealis bit genuinely is lightning in a bottle, I have no idea how anyone even came up with that. ‘Aurora Borealis?? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized ENTIRELY within your kitchen?!’ ‘Yes!’ ‘…may I see it?’ ‘…no.’

[@henriquelambcastellanos8439]

possibly one of the funniest eschanges in comedy history in general. If I ever came up with it myself I would not believe myself the next morning

[@Kezenmacher]

I will say, I think Eddies one line in the Burger Scene is all he needs. His simple reply of "shakes!? don't know what you're gettin'" is somehow incredibly funny to me - it adds to the silly dialogue, but also keeps true to Eddies character of not talking much.

[@StillOnFire]

Ahh... the shakes line is seriously one of my most quoted lines. Perfect line for Eddie.

[@MeepMacArthur]

Also who can't forget about Wiggun asking " Do they have Krusty’s Partially Gelatinated Non-Dairy Gum-Based Beverage

[@adamisrandom3150]

A perfectly cromulent video as always! I’ve been watching the Simpson for several decades now, and have watched this episode countless times. However I could never discern what the 22 separate stories were, and that’s bugged me for years. Your video has finally put this to rest, and now everything’s coming up Millhouse.

[@TheBcoolGuy]

3:06 It's a reference to the trope of running over fire hydrants, making water splash everywhere and the kids celebrate it because it's summer fun.

[@moodieboymusic4376]

Didn’t Butch hit a fire hydrant in Pulp Fiction as well?

Before this episode, I never realized there was a chance that my skeleton could leap out my mouth and escape my body. I've worn one of those Pulp Fiction ball gags ever since.

[@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917]

My favorite sketch in this is the Dr. Nick bit with Grampa demanding to see a "quack," to tell him there's something terribly wrong with him and give him pills. It just hits me harder than any of the other segments.

[@NinjaRodent]

My favorite will always be the very tall man with the largest automobile he could afford. Also before steamed hams became the title of the segment/ubiquitous meme my Simpsons friends always referred to it as the Aurora Borealis segment and I'm still salty it's not called that.

I was always confused by Lisa's bald spot. If her skin is yellow, how is the bald spot white? It makes it look like her whole body is covered in fur, and would also have white skin underneath if you shaved it off... Even as a child that made no sense to me (nor did the lack or hairline, her and Bart just have spiky heads).

[@PanAndScanBuddy]

I'm unsure if I agree that she must be covered in fur, or if I want to justify it by saying that in the Simpsons universe combining all those hair gum cures really borks up your scalp?

[@ravenwilder4099]

You're not the first to suggest that the Simpsons kids have pelts.

[@raze3297]

I'm not sure what's confusing about it. It's a bald spot; no need to over-analyze it. Especially when the Simpson kids' hair never made any logical sense, so there's room for interpretation when it comes to portraying them without hair. It's a cartoon, not real life. Just enjoy it.

[@karnickel-s33d16]

I think the idea is that skin underneath your hair is more pale because your hair blocks the sun, but instead of making it like a lighter shade of yellow or something they just made it white.

[@rootfish2671]

Her scalp hair is white because of no sun

[@billepperson2662]

9:27 I think this was a subtle jab @ the casual convention go-er @ the time. I'm sure it's not out of the ordinary for famous people to be asked to sign stuff they have nothing to do with... There was a real brief mention in the "comic con" scene in chasing Amy, for example, of comic artists being asked to sign comics they didn't draw

[@GMan873]

I feel like the barber scene is noteworthy just for bringing back a minor character from all the way back during the shorts era.

[@ThePerradox]

Loved this. I would love for there to be a Simpsons Mysteries video about the enigma that is Handsome Pete, he dances for nickles.

[@ashmenser7959]

I’ve always loved when snake robbed moe, he joked that he could pay off his student loans.

[@FreedomDaveX]

There’s a whole hamburger theme going on throughout the episode between the steamed hams skit, the mcdonalds vs krusty burger dialog, the hamburglar coloring book, the krusty burger ad, and even the squirting of condiments onto traffic. You can even see the police car parked outside the krusty burger in the steamed hams skit. I’m surprised that the medical board vs dr nick scene was lost on you. The beginning wasn’t even that long. It was meant to be mundane as a setup for the joke to show how flawed and easily swayed people in those positions can be. Does anyone else know that the original trailer for this episode included a scene featuring ralph annoying krusty on an airplane that was ultimately cut from the episode. This really bugged me back in the day because I could not find the scene in the episode even though it was a heavy highlight in the trailer.

[@hecatia666]

I like Steamed Hams and you said why, it does everything that the other clips did but better and the damn thing was so good that it became a meme everywhere! ...that does mean it was good right? D: now, the Burns and Smithers one, may be a language bias, but i love the latin american dub of it, how Burns expresses his annoyance at Smithers and how he insults him to keep the bike going are just CLASSICS and sometimes i do use Burns' insults in daily life! And keeping with the language bias thing, Dr. Nick (or Doctor Sables as we called him on that episode) KILLS it here, with his medical lingo bullshiting, it's so damn funny! And finally, the tall dude and Nelson is funny too, I can do the voice of the tall man in the latin american dub and my friends always laugh at how i can recite the entire scene from memory

[@Realunmaker]

8:14 I was born and currently live in a latin american country so my perspective on this is different I guess. the oranges have never been a highlight for me, mainly because back when this chapter was new, reruns of "el chavo del ocho" and other comedies that heavily used physical comedy were still overwhelming our air time (also I guess you also know that bumblebee man is a parody of another character created by the creator of "el chavo del ocho", "el chapulín colorado"). What always made me laugh out loud was the final part, with the wife asking for a divorce with a document that simply says "El Divorcio" (instead of, IDK proceedings for a divorce or something) written in cursive and with what appears to be an inkpen. it was always so bizarre to think that americans see us like that. Stuck like a century in the past. And the chihuahua doing what chihuahuas do, just barking when they are the least needed

My favourite line from the Burns/Smithers segment is Smither's iconic line: *"I'm allergic to bee stings, they cause me to...Die."* Like you can tell Smithers intended to explain his allergy in more detail but the stress of the situation made him condense it to just *"Die."*

[@alexpotts6520]

It's also the fact that his reaction is more one of embarrassment than fear. Like, "what an inconvenience to put Mr Burns through".

[@PlanetZoidstar]

@@alexpotts6520 And Mr. Burns' *"Oh quite impossible."* at the prospect of actually pedalling himself is hilarious. Like trying to smack the Bee away that might kill Smithers seems the more reasonable choice for him.

[@bingo36able]

Steamed Hams has to be number 1, but i live everything with Nelson and the Very Tall Man. In a format bending episode, it almost feels like this is the segment that most threatens to break the reality if the show, that the Very Tall Man is almost this sort of spectre of a man who refuses to laugh along and who will respond to the cartoony antics around him with righteous indignation. He is the Lester, Eliza, and Frank Grimes to Nelson.

[@e-122psi3]

I like even just from his irritated note-by-note lecture at Nelson it's clear he has been through this crap over and over, that he is a very serious frustrated person stuck in a hiliariously lanky body with a goofy voice and driving a pitifullly missized car because he can't afford anything of greater dignity, and one 'Hah Hah!' was the absolutely final straw for him.

The Gum trilogy may not be the most exciting, but I love Marge's response. Lisa: "MOM!!! Someone threw gum in my hair." Marge: "Are you sure? Maybe it's just shampoo. That washes right out."

The thing about the Pulp Fiction parody with Wiggum’s story is it still works without having seen the movie. I’m sure I’m not the only one who grew up with the episode and I always enjoyed these scenes. When I eventually saw the film as a teen, the segment obviously becomes much funnier because you get the spot-on references but also much darker because of what it implies about Herman.

The Bumble Bee Man narrating his day in Spanish and somehow me as a kid being able to understand everything he said despite not knowing the language, was the highlight of that episode for me.

[@MandrakeHorse]

What makes me laugh out loud while watching this segment is how the Bumblebee man is shouting poorly-translated Spanish as his house falls apart, such as "Naranjas en la cabeza!" (oranges on the head!), "una candelabra precariosa!" (a precarious chandelier!) and of course, "¿Donde esta mi tequila?" (Where is my tequila?)

[@rootfish2671]

It's very physical comedy

[@pablocasas5906]

As an Spanish-speaker who grew up with the Simpsons' Neutral Spanish dub I was amused when I saw the original version, with all the broken Spanish. I saw in a video made by Max Power, a Simpson-focused KZbinr from Colombia, that the Spanish was written by a member from the show's staff that was of Hispanic descent but she knew very little of actual Spanish, so you had things like "Woodpeckero" which was changed in the Spanish dub as the correct "Pájaro carpintero". I always thought the sketch was more of a direct parody to Roberto Bolaños' shows like El Chapulín Colorado, but as someone who grew up watching things like El Chavo del 8, the slapstick wasn't as extreme as in the Bumblebee Man sequence

[@pablocasas5906]

@@MandrakeHorse weirdly enough, the Mexican dub corrected all of the dialogue, but the "naranjas en la cabeza" and "¿Dónde está mi tequila?" were kept intact. The part with the chandelier was corrected to, "Este candelabro es frágil", a much more accurate thing to say in Spanish

3:07 I always saw the kids dancing around the letters as a play on the classic gag of a fire hydrant breaking, splashing water into the air, and kids coming out to play in the water like a sprinkler.

So if I'm being honest, the Professor Frink segment had me laughing so hard the first time I saw it that I missed the first 5 minutes of the next show. THAT kind of laughter. Looking back though, I would have to put Cletus in the top spot. It's like "Who's on first" - comedically perfect.

[@godhimself1128]

I like that you used your traditional music cues to describe at most 90 seconds of screen time its a nice insane touch 👌

[@TheRealJims]

This is definitely one of my most unhinged music mixes, lol (I originally tried to do 2 segments per track but the music continuing to run sounded weird to me)

[@hashashafashasha]

Really dissapointed about the donut's story being last, i've always preferred the emotional character arc of wiggum's donut over the comedy of the rest of the episode. 0/22

[@TheRealJims]

The Journey of the Donut is pretentious and am tired of the fans putting it on a pedestal!

For some reason, I find myself quoting Lovejoy's "dirty, sinful business" line on a daily basis.

[@alexpotts6520]

It's so perfect for him. Like, a reverend who cared about his job would never talk like that, but it's Lovejoy, of course he isn't bothered about whether he's sinning.

[@generationwhyentertainment2455]

Moes reaction to Snake just simply hopping the bar and grabbing the cash out of the register kills me because like. There was literally nothing Moe could do, its as if he thought up the perfect way to deal with a robbery scenario that didn't involve actually protecting his money also the subtlety of Apu probably just jackhammering that woman in like 3 seconds kills me.

[@Lionfrog13]

I adore the Cletus segment, honestly might beat steamed hams for me. I love steamed hams, but I think raw enjoyment might go to the slack jawed yokel.

[@Tadicuslegion78]

I'm shocked given how much repeat the Simpsons have done in plots, they've only technically done two other multi-pov stories that all connect in Trilogy of Error and that one in the cave. Unless I'm missing some others. I'm surprised during the second Al Jean era they didn't do 22 more films on Springfield.

[@karnickel-s33d16]

500 Keys from season 22 is similar

[@wallygropius4451]

This was them testing for a Springfield spin-off that would have focusing on non-Simpsons characters. Later seasons have given many spotlight episodes to smaller characters so in a way they've done more "22 Short Films".

[@pie7956]

Steamed Hams but in a ‘22 short films about Springfield’ ranking video

[@TheMightofDab]

5:00 i love that Dr Collossus is also in the background

[@amonymouss]

I know my favorite unsung joke in this was Cletus poking his head through the title card, saying "What's going on on this side?".

[@KatamariParty]

Surprised to see Bumblebee Man so high. If I remember Jim’s said in his review that the segment was a bit of a dud. And not the type of “dud” that Bart got either. Interesting how interests change over time.

[@shurley96]

I would put Nelson and the tall man higher on my list. I frequently quote "are you laughing at my automobile", his voice and the dialogue gets me every time.

[@esotericVideos]

3:17 You should consider doing a video about "Simpsons cells you wish you could own." Lots of times people rank episodes, but idk if I've ever seen somebody rank their favorite frames from the Simpsons.

[@Valkyrie963]

Lisa getting a hair cut that doesn't blend with her skin and going "Wow! I finally look like a PERSON" always gets a laugh out of me x)

[@masterrserch3971]

#11 I seem to always say "youre going to give yourself skin failure," whenever someone is telling me that they dont feel good but dont really know what is going on. (And when ur wife and stepdaughter u live with are hypochondriacs, you get to say this A LOT)

[@BlueLobster225]

This video does look better than normal, it just started and I was already wondering why that makes sense!

The first time I saw Pulp Fiction it was at a movie club screening, and I recall laughing so much it made my throat hurt. But I didn't laugh just because of the movie and its dark humour, it was because I finally understood what the Simpsons were referencing! Kinda dissapointed a kid with a maze didn't show up to save Marcellus, but still a great film.
