Just wanted to say thank you for the video. I was in a pretty bad spot after being burnt out by work, pay inequality, inept colleagues and failed projects which I barely had control over.
I was literally the worst parts of Grimes. And this video made me realize the more important things in life and to stop being stressed out and to relax a bit.
Not sure if this will reach you, but thanks for making me feel much better now

The best time to apply for a new job is while you are getting paid. Just say "I'm looking for a new challenge." instead of being "too negative".

Me too, I'm at this point in my life as well, resonating with Frank Grimes. Its even got so bad that I got muscled outta my Christmas morning so that Homer could be with his family and completely forget that I went outta way for him. Really glad this video reminded me that comparison is the thief of joy.

I'm glad someone else feels that way.<br>I also feel Frank Grimes resonates with me and that I do need to be more like Homer. I became SO resentful and even acquired an enemy in the last year.

It's possible some episodes weren't bad, Everyone just adapted to it, but Simpsons doesn't adapt. it just runs under the same rules. some of the poor ratings might be uncalled for, because we look at it from the wrong view point.

It's still worse than before, but not all the episodes are bad.


This video truly deserve a like from every individual who watched it


Grimes looked at Homer the way early Homer looked at early Flanders: "Why the hell does this guy have so much more than me?"

@EveryTimeV2 because Grimes is astounded at Homers actual incompetence, the amount of issues he causes, yet still everyone tolerates him. Whilst if Grimes acted the same, he'd get in trouble for it. Homer has a crazy amount of privilege and the man himself doesn't see it

@cannon
The comments are called "comments" not "discussion"

You are meant to use they to comment on the video.

@r p even then Homer wasn't the cause of the problem Grimes had. Homer was a symptom of the work place owned by Mr. Burns and in extension the reflection of economy going down the drain.

Flanders is the man who got what he deserved. Even though he did get hit with a few tragedies. He worked hard and never hurt anyone.
Home is the man who got more than he deserved. He was lazy reckless and often selfish.
Grimes in the man who never got what he deserved. He worked hard. But his biggest flaw was envy.

Ironically envying a man who lives paycheck to paycheck. Maybe grimy was not envious of Homer's success but of Homer's happiness.

@Mr Maticus but he's not discussing it, he's regurgitating something from the video, or he had the same idea but didn't finish the video. Either way there's no discussion to be had

@BizzaroHunter The comments literally exists to allow us to discuss the contents of the video, hence why most comments are like this. Calling it out is nothing to act smug about.

@BizzaroHunter come on dude don’t be a Cee yoU Next Tuesday over a guy just trying to have a discussion.

I'm interested in why Grimes says Homer is the problem and not Burns, considering it was Burns who hired them, snubbed him, and allows the world to burn. Or even actively does it himself. Homer is small fry, a fly lucky enough to find good food and not be squished, Homer naturally appears where life allows. Off the success of exploitation, done by much more evil men.

GUYS, LOOK, HE WATCHED THE VIDEO WE WATCHED TOO!!


The simpsons is not what is once was, but it still is etertaining, and has its funny moments, especially when it mocks modern trends.


I'm so let down, thought this, my fav episode, wasn't this popular.


Dont know why people hate on new simpsons so much, i actually like the new simpsons more than the old ones


did you know in germany, sideshow bobs is called
Tingle-Tangle Bob! its kinda funny, fits his hair!
edit: 9:50 i just realised the bucket of books he's holding
so is sideshow bob the
sideshow bucket of books


"It is possible to commit zero mistakes and still lose."

Hannibal almost always won his battles yet the Romans still won the war.

@Yuli Kitten "We need to dismantle the corrupt and cruel system of..."

...living. Life is cruel and life is unfair and to pretend otherwise is foolish. When the lioness kills a baby antelope it doesn't consider whether it's cruel or fair. Even herbivores will prioritize their own survival over those of their herd when it comes to finite resources. Your utopian idealism flies in the face of reality and relies on imagined altruism and selflessness of an elite ruling class that will never exist.

@Jullien Ricot you must be naive beyond understand.

@Hillarys Emails WOW! Truly? I find that literally unbelievably horrible.

I would like to be hopeful that US is bending our knee to a just "GOD". Knowing it's foolish to break a social contract with people whose mission is harmony, least of all for the precise opposite? I hope I'm being clear that I don't think US is in any danger unique to them/us.

@Zizz Creator Actually, after the Tet Offensive, the NVA and VC were essentially wiped out. It was on the Political and Public Opinion fronts that the USA lost the war.
Walter Cronkite claimed the war "unwinnable" after the USA had already won it. And so they pulled out.
Pathetic. And why the USA is on its knees today. Sabotaged from within.

@Hillarys Emails Ok, nevertheless mistakes were made across various areas & disciplines, but in any case military victory entailed subduing the enemy and they seem to have failed to accomplish that? massively disproportionate body counts notwithstanding? due to a miscalculation of the size of the enemy, what it would take to demoralize them, the practical value of seizing positions, and so on? Vietnam was chaos and only by a very specific and insulated context of WW2 era conflicts was it anything but an abject mistake-ridden catastrophe, but at least it sent a message that US would be "better dead than red", an ultimate victory of sorts?

@Zizz Creator You are arguing Politics and Ethics. I spoke only of Military Science. <br>When we committed the Errors/Crimes against Humanity, those were self-inflicted wounds. Vietnam and Afghanistan brought down 2 mighty giants...

@Hillarys Emails Forfeiting moral high ground is effectively a strategic mistake.

@Zizz Creator Agent Orange was an Evil. Not a tactical or strategic mistake. We never lost an Operation, and yet STILL lost the War.

@Hillarys Emails I'd say Agent Orange was a mistake.

That was the lesson that we learned in Vietnam. Never lost an Operation, still lost the war.

@Adailton Neto That touches on why I prefer games where winning doesn't require someone else to lose.

@Zizz Creator in a team based game you can make 0 mistakes and lose

If you make zero mistakes, at worst you neither win nor lose.

@Yuli Kitten You're referring to social programs not socialism. Socialism is what tens of millions of refugees try to run from generation after generation.

@M Phylo Based comrade! We need to dismantle the corrupt and cruel system of capitalism and replace it with a system in which, while yes, you can still be rich, the working class will no longer go hungry, go homeless, etc. We need Socialism

Sounds like capitalism, to me. You could work extremely hard for your entire life and still never see a billion dollars, or financial stability, and yet, through no fault of your own, the system still finds a way to fuck you

@Jullien Ricot You're way off. Hard work is not and never has been demonized. People are becoming aware that hard work is not the solution to life's problems. Intelligence is prized now more than ever in most circles, now that the world has seen what a lack of intelligence can mean for a country like the USA: Half a million people dead. What your kind refer to as "virtue signalling" has never and will never be about narcissism and self gratification. Knowing that nothing is being done to curtail poverty, the climate crisis and economic inequity and reminding people like yourself of that fact is anything but satisfying. It is profoundly depressing.

every poker player knows this from hard experience.

@Jullien Ricot
Imagine a chess match with two players who always make the best possible move available to them.
It's debated what the end result would be, but either there's a draw, meaning both are neither winners nor losers, or one of them wins, meaning the other loses.
That's with an mostly level playing field with the exception of the slight advantage the person to move first has.

Now imagine a modified chess match both players still always make the best possible move available to them,
BUT player A has only a king and two queens, whereas player B has only a king and two pawns.
Player B is doomed, no matter how flawless B's decisions in the game of this unfairly modified chess are.

A 100% guaranteed win from playing flawlessly is only possible in a fair game with no unpredictable elements.
Life is an unfair game with unpredictable elements.

@Jullien Ricot Simply untrue. Welcome to the real world.

@Jullien Ricot Flawless is not the same as perfect, in fact in most cases there is no significant overlap between them. I was an adult by the time I realized the first part of that sentence to be true, and I was close to thirty by the time I fully embraced the second part. But it is one of the most fundamental aspects of our world you will ever encounter.

NO thats the whole point of making no mistakes you are guaranteed to win 100% of the time.


i remember i was sick for weeks so i watched like 7 seasons of simpsons


I went to the same highschool as Matt groaning and I feel like the show is told from a Portland perspective


The Simpsons is the One Piece of American animation.


As a massive fan of the Simpsons, this is the greatest critique and analysis of the show I have ever watched. This absolutely blew me away. The research and attention to detail is beyond fantastic. This made me proud to be a Simpsons fan. Well done Emperorlemon.


Honestly I found this episode underwhelming


Homer is like able and being like able is more important than being hard working or smart a lot of the time


Im 3 minutes and 35 seconds in, music has started, and i see google maps. And I’ve figured it out. This is made in the same style as jon bois and the narration reminds me of secret base and even if it doesn’t take inspiration from either this is beautiful story telling.


"He had to walk through hell"
*music starts
*pans on california


And then they later on tried to reference him and bring him back as just another zany villain like Sideshow Bob or Kang and Kodos, completely undermining his original purpose


there will Never Ever be another programmer like Terry Davis


Here I am watching a video that is twice the length of a Simpsons episode written by someone who is younger than the Simpsons.  What on earth is going on?


To say this was right wing, was an understatement.


EmpLemom: “Well basically I copied the Simpsons we have now, and this green color here I feel is pretty sharp.”<br>Viewers: “Agreed, first prize!”

EmpLemom: “Well basically I copied the Simpsons we have now, and this green color here I feel is pretty sharp.”
Viewers: “Agreed, first prize!”


How did Kent Brockman find all that childhood footage of Frank Grimes, especially, the silo explosion?


I like how you zoomed in on Cosby as you said "Responsible and Virtuous role models" like you were ... emphasizing something

@Ragnar right? I just can't seem to put my finger on it


i have never been a fan but all your best jokes are in this one video. the keeps ad, the imdb unity xD lmao


Flanders has always been Homer's nemesis. Flanders never really hates Homer though like Grimes. Worth exploring. EDIT: I spoke too soon.


"But before that, he had to go to hell"
Casually zooms in on Los Angeles.

"But before that, he had to go to hell"
*Casually zooms in on Los Angeles.*

LA was still hell according to John Cassavetes when he was at his peak, that place is a hellhole

@Stephen Kissane Decades and decades ago....

Every time I don't explain the joke people ask what's the joke so I have to explain it anyway.

At that part I thought he would zoom in on Michigan. Because that's where a town called Hell actually exists.


It’s funny cause the Frank Grimes episode was actually the first one I ever watched.


Surprised you went through this whole video without even the slightest mention of his son who appeared later.


Why would you be surprised that somebody who's worked decades(?) at a nuclear power plant is able to afford a two-story house?


"Do not argue with a fool. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."

@Vikinghood Bluelight House I think he blew up the whole attributing things to sun tzu though

Xanthopathy nah man fake quotes have been circulating way before he did it

@Placeholder It's a joke. I think attributing quotes falsely to sun tzu specifically came from Technoblade.

There should be, there will never ever be an F1 driver like Gilles Villeneuve.

@Timothy Bodette I thought Mark Twain said that


These are the most beautiful videos on this site.


The American Dream is and always has been an illusion, before even the America existed. America is the representation of the saying "It's too good to be true". Homer Simpson reminds me of Luffy from One Piece. I am techically also from Oregon.


Some American tv shows are the best ever made but they seem to not know when to stop. South park and the Simpsons should have stopped at season 10.


that bit about Gen X 5 minutes in...  comedy gold...


Never ever episodes in a nutshell:
Episode 1: spongebob squarepants is a metaphor for childhood and adulthood.

Episode 2: wrestling is successful because its players make compelling stories.

Episode 3: Dale Earnhardt aint like other drivers.

Episode 4: CONTEMPLATION OF NECULAR GENOCIDE .

Episode 5: dude gets picked on for playing a pink puffball.

Episode 6: Really good episode of an animated sitcom.

@ProjectFM was dale ostracized like hungry box?

I'm hoping Episode 7 of NEVER EVER will be on Armond White.

I find it fitting that Dale's video was #3

@MrLuckless Episodes 3 and 5 are kinda similar

<b>Episode 1: adults can be spongebob too</b>

*Episode 1: adults can be spongebob too*

Never ever will each episode have any consistency with the previous episodes.

For some reason I thought this comment was describing the basic structure of a Never Ever episode


Emp gets one of his YouTube idols on. It comes full circle.


I cannot explain how much I relate to the importance of finding one's own bliss in the chaos of today's America. Wanting so greatly to rise out of debt, to no longer be frustrated and insecure about my fellow citizens, to overcome the nihilism and pessimism the country has birthed for me. I will never be happy if I choose to play by the rules of this nature I've been surviving in. We must make our own rules, and rule our own perceptions. We don't have to continue the toxic culture we have been perpetuating. We can simply be, and spread as much joy as possible.


“Generation X represented a group of Americans unlike any that came before them”<br>....”There will Never Ever be another generation like generation X”?

“Generation X represented a group of Americans unlike any that came before them”
....”There will Never Ever be another generation like generation X”?

Quite the opposite, really. Every generation going forward is going to be like Gen X; Bitter and resentful of what came before and the pressures put on them, but utterly powerless to do anything of value about it. The shining future we were promised as kids had been long squandered by the time we could enjoy it by people who won't be around long enough to experience the fallout.

Honestly Academic Agent has a great series on generations from the Boomers to Zoomers, I recommend checking them out.

@Ethan Gooding Not really the generations from the 20s to 40s were very similar just like the ones from the 50s and early 60s

@Raymunator I’m pretty sure more than half of millennials weren’t in the age group that watched SpongeBob.

@Raymunator i would argue that unlike previous generations the fact we have the internet means there is no longer 'one show' that everyone watches as the internet gives s the freedom to watch whatever niche interest we have rather than all watching one show like SpongeBob or the Simpsons as that's the only thing airing. maybe just the interent will define us as the first generation to have never lived in a time before it.

Well, millenials and Gen X also have a lot in common, and the same can be said of zoomers and millenials.

A theme in Emp's videos and specifically the Never Ever series is this feeling on how culture affects generations, and how they express their worries and frustrations in different ways. The Simpsons, in a way, is for Gen X what Spongebob is to millenials.

And as a zoomer, who knows what the future holds for us? The clock is ticking, childhood is over. Soon, millenials will be old, and we shall take their place.

@Ethan Gooding Yeah and it doesn't even mean anything, it could be a good or bad generation but it's still different that the other generations.

@Mattok101 but most gen z people are depressed and are easily consumed

You can say that about every generation.


Matt groening specifically said Springfield is in Oregon 2:30
As he's from there, it's the inspiration.


here's a NEVER EVER episode idea.
"there would be Never Ever be another game like Minecraft"
i hope this helps


I hated this episode when I first watched it many moons ago. I still do.


I was hoping you would make another Never Ever. Didn't expect this though.


Actually, the Simpsons is based off of Springfield Oregon.


"Starting at season 9, The Simpsons began what can only be described as a-"

OH BOY HE'S GONNA SAY IT

"-long, slow march to mediocrity."

"TO PROFESSIONALISM!!!""""  <Homer chugs beer in car>


Of course there can't be another episode, they already made it.


Fun fact: the two nuclear towers in The Simpsons where Homer works are partially inspired by the Satsop Nuclear Plant in Satsop, WA very close to Evergreen State College. The towers were built, but the stations and reactors were never moved in. They’re still there to this day and there’s an Overstock call center right next to them.

@XNINE玖久W XW Evergreen State College is where he went to college. It’s in the video

whenever my family would go to ocean shores, when we passed the towers we would sing "THE SIMPSONNNSSSS" pretty crazy that the creator went to Evergreen.

The plant was never completed because a proposed budget increase failed, and now they can't demolish it because that would cause issues with nearby facilities and the national park surrounding it. In an odd twist, the site has actually seen success as a film set, being used for several films in the last few decades.

@Silver Surfer Girl damn i worked at that call center when i went to tesc

Actually, they just shut the call center down in January.


I love that television was viewed as “conservative.”

The entertainment industry has always been liberal the Overton window has shifted SO MUCH that when we look back, it looks so conservative.


18:41 Real life Homer Simpson Confirmed!


i'm obsessed with all of the simpson liminal space shots


Saw it was a Never Ever and instantly clicked. Doesn't matter what the topic is, it's bound to be good.


Aww heck.  When you said Groening had gone to 'hell' I was sure he went to MCRD San Diego.  I'm so sorry he didn't.  I'd be more sympathetic.


My favorite Simpsons joke of all time was when a Fox News Helicopter flew by the screen and on the side it said, “Not Racist, but #1 with Racists!”


5:34 By the time they reached adulthood they were met with the worst economy(massive inflation), unthinkable environmental crises (pandemic), and the continued existential dread of nuclear annihilation (ukraine war). Dang, really sums of the last couple years don't it? Crazy time for me to have just graduated college and go out into the "real world". (2022)


Its pretty cool that you used the cardboard design of the dvd set of season 6 instead of the plastic homer head design when talking about season 6.


Frank Grimes resembles Michael Douglas' character from Falling Down where he is the embodiment of a classic American worker from a bygone era.

@Clay3613 they actually do mention that briefly on the DVd commentary

Yup, Emp surprisingly misses a key part again.


The moral of the story is: don't be Homer's enemy, instead be more like Homer.

@CeeStyleDj Sure the show is made for entertainment, but sometimes there are some valuable life's lessons in it.

Do you think the writers and creators of the show are like Homer? The show is made for entertainment....


Okay, so I accidently tapped on this video while watching a video on early cgi being terrifying, while I was thinking about this video. Wtf are the odds


"responsible and virtuous role models" accompanied by a closeup of Bill Cosby's face fucking sent me to the moon.

Hey! Just so you know, it'd be more accurate if you'd pronounce the expression "laissez-faire" as "lay-say fair" even though we don't accentuate as much as you do in English.. That's what gives us that shitty accent when we speak in English! 😅<br>Cheers from France ✌

Frank... in a nutshell

Represents that character/personality who, uh,
for what ever reason,  CANNOT
"back down"/admit when he MIGHT be a bit wrong.
Control Freak/ "Fanatic"

Instantly loses to Homer's "happy-go-lucky"/"everything will work out" calmness...


Emp pulled the classic "Why do i do the thing?" "Well... Why do you do your thing?" When it came to green Simpsons. It has come full circle and has nowhere else to go. It was good while it lasted, now all that is left is the abyss. Keep up the good work and have a nice day.

The only thing that’s for sure about Emplemon.... is nothing’s for sure

The only thing we have left... the downward spiral...


This video posed a question in my head.. who is the least fortunate person alive


Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Vsauce is funny.


"responsible and virtuous role models" 🤣☠


the simpsons was anti-establishment, then became the establishment, then got bought by disney, who used to be anti-establishment, and became the establishment

Under Communism, Even Illness Becomes Wellness


The first minute is how every conspiracy theorist sounds.

I grew up playing NES, GameBoy, BlockBuster, Walk-Mans, Nerf-Guns. Yes, I went outside to play with friends and do what tweens did. It was great, great, times. I was always happy to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, for I loved to be an American in its prime. Then after, 9/11, I was entering my senior year in high school. I was accepted into college already so yeah I slacked off quite a bit. But when I saw our enemies launched attack on American soil, I could not let that slide. America gave my parents, and I, so much. I joined the Army a year after graduation to really think about my choices. My parents wanted me to go to college, but also respected my choice to hunt and kill the enemy. Thank God I made it in one piece, although I did not see much combat, but a dear friend did not, and another one lost a limb, and was injured pretty bad. Came back, to a different America. 20 years later, I ask myself, why the fuck were we there. With all the PC and gender equality, the BLM movement. It is not the America I grew up in. It hurts me to my very core because it is truly a very special place. You may have to work harder, and life will not be fair, but good things don't last for ever, and The Simpsons is a prime example. I tried watching some of the latest episodes, it was dull and boring, the worse part was that I had to pay to watch such episodes. Exactly, what the Disney corporation wants, to squeeze every drop they can from the soul of the Simpsons. Capitalism.

Edit: I have to say "Homer's enemy" is in my top 10 episodes. I watched it again not too long ago. Now I understand what the writers were trying to convey to the viewers. Although it is a cartoon, it does not mean it was mean for kids to watch. At least before the latter. My first time watching, Bart acquiring  a factory for ONE dollar, I thought, hmmmm would it really be possible. Now, my thought is, yes, Bart now owns a dilapidated building. He now has the monetary obligation of fixing it up to safety standards. Which will cost in the high six figures. He bought a nightmare. He may have had a new playground to exploit, but at the end. It collapses. Was that a subliminal message?

The Literature teacher:

@Sleepypixel I was referencing a Tumblr comic where a guy builds an anime travel machine to revive Shakespeare to ask their teacher what he truly ment by "the door is red" when the teacher described it as describing Shakespeare's anger.

It's an interpretation of the comment posted here on how Groening gave a simple response to a question that Emplemon broke down into a meaning. Doesn't mean that Emp is wrong for coming to this conclusion.

Tl;Dr: Describing a simple question into a long answer can be really funny if the question didn't really require it.

@Marcin Markovych is that the literature teacher sometimes over looks and values somethings that wasn`t that important in a story, like: In Romeo and Juliet in some moment a blue door appears, and then they overlooks the door in some philosophical way when the door was blue because Shakespere likes blue.

There should be, there will never ever be an F1 driver like Gilles Villeneuve.

So...   what you're saying is...    "Homer's Enemy" is really the end of the series creatively and everything that came after that was all just corporate momentum which they allowed to degrade into the very thing they meant to ridicule in the beginning?     Hmmp...  That took me all of 10 seconds to say.  But then I guess that's a writer for you:  Taking 41 minutes to say what one could say is 10 seconds. LOL JK It really was a fascinating presentation.


i always thought the simpsons green to avoid copyright claims


“People have always wondered what would happen to Frank Grimes if he survived past this episode.”<br>Nickelodeon made a whole show about it 2 years later.

“People have always wondered what would happen to Frank Grimes if he survived past this episode.”

Nickelodeon didn't make it, Steve made it

@Michael Lumsdon he had a son that was a car mechanic and tow truck driver. So probably homer’s age.


If you plan on doing more Never Ever, I nominate Cosmos: a Personal Voyage

I am SUPER curious as to why you decided to include a moonman clip after the generation X title @ 5:04


Homer enjoys life and moves on from all troubles that he’s experienced. He somehow makes his peace with all that and continues doing so.

@Asmosis Jones True, he choose to put a crayon in his nose because he couldn't be happy as a man of normal intelligence.  He would have ended up as Grimes did.

something frank never tried to do is look up homer's past..man has he suffered and done it all..he earned his place at the plant by becoming burns' bootlicker quitting a fun job to support a 3rd kid after quitting and giving up another job that made him happy and praised to one that paid more by lying about the plant being safe where hes hated and which he hates...he tries to raise a good family despite his own family being a mess

What else are you to do? Live in misery?


Homer's Enemy. we would question how unfair it is to live and how come some people can live it up normally. but there's people are just bad guys or people that didn't even need up get all the good stuff. there's really no such thing of 100% fairness. fairness like in games are only limits what you only can do if following the rules. rules are there for a reason but there's some rules that didn't need to be made at all. like you can be yourself inside your own home. but you can't outside of your own home. if you tell a teacher they are actually wrong about what they are teaching you. you the one's wrong no matter what you say and kicked out for a day. is ok to attack but it's not ok to defend yourself. now we getting to the point that you can't do anything at all besides working to the bone for almost nothing. movie "the joker" also points out how unfair are life really is and some of us realize living like sheep (normal people) and wolves (those who break the law for fun) can get away with almost anything while killing sheep is not life.

besides all of that. Frank would've live better if he follow some of homer's advice on how to get payed better at work. because if he wasn't so busy thinking working hard while not getting payed much is a way to go. things would've gone better if he found better ways to get payed in a job like everyone at the power plant. but than again the power plant is not being taking care of. so I see his point of view at that point.


Ironic that Fox is now what they went against, conservative and sanitized, just to modern day rather then 80's culture.


There will never ever be another Simpson's episode like Steamed Hams.


3:26 but before he could do that he had to go to hell *meet the sniper theme starts playing*

You know who else had a dictomy where one was mature and miserable, another idiotic and happy, despite both of them being in technically simillar places? <br>Squidward and Spongebob.

Squidward and Spongebob.


soooo... you're tellin me, in the 80s and 90s you could just go get a regular job, and live a regular life instead of having 15 years expirence and a Ph.D to quality for an entry level job position?


If you play this at 1.25x speed, it sounds about normal.


I feel the Simpsons predicting the future is also in part due to the sheer volume of content.

Art throughout history has sometimes been known as Futurism and Art was often look on as "we should reflect on our actions if this is what's being conjured by our societies delineators". It's fair to say that the distribution of variables within a society, the events surrounding it and its collective conscious can conjure up what could be deemed as psychic or foresight, for after all 2+2=4 i.e international political strife and recourse gambits= a war in the coming future. A good example of this is starship troopers

All in all the future is as predictable as the many moves that the present variables and occurrence can make

@RatatRatR Look up Illuminati Card Game 1995

I'd say it's all but entirely due to the volume.

That is mentioned in South Park. It's a joke of course but I think it has some merit. Art imitates reality when the volume is so immense etc.


Wow the tone of these videos is so different compared to the last time I watched this channel


That music is from Gran Turismo?

Damn those nostalgic vibes trying to get S license :D


Yea but the way he die was absolutely genius.


i don't know how many times i have watched this now


Gen Z here and the appreciation for the golden age is still alive and well. Was born in 2002 but essentially grew up watching the earlier seasons and definitely set the standards for subversive comedy in my mind.

Post Post Modernism is coming, Bo Burnham, Homer's Enemy, and Rick and Morty are the Prologue. In a world where despair is normalised the best way to make people laugh is with hope.


Futurama was brilliant up until the end of the movies.


Homer is just being  himself. Thats why we relate


Currently watching this in the backrooms. Fun times


Rusty Cage/Emplemon crossover? Now i've seen everything!


To think a ytper from the 2010's would start producing one of the greatest underground youtube videos and media in the world, what a blessing.

@SpinosaurusStudios you know you cant edit your comment right? also i agree with with what you said

(by underground I mean not consumed by every other source and person surrounding said video)


38:08

I'd very much like to know where I can find that chart. Anyone got a link?


Clearly, several times on The Simpsons, they go to the Pacific coastal beach/port/bay/wharf of their Springfield.


'In Season 8, they pushed further than ever..." * Mario 64's Bower Level music starts playing*
This is when you knew shit was getting real
You know, that was an excellent choice of background music👍. I recognized it and it was driving me crazy trying to figure out where I knew it from. I even scrolled through several hundred comments. Then tried Ctrl + F for "music". Finally said "fuck it", started watching the video again when it came to me.
And then I thought to look in the video info and saw you had a list of music 🤦♂
It's called "Bower Road" if anyone wonders.
I think the video clips taken and editing throughout was very professional. In fact, just like your HungryBox video, the entire thing is just very well done in it's production


Season 7: this isn’t even my final form!


I think the message of this episode is even if someone is ahead of you when they don't deserve to be, giving in to bitterness and hatred will only make yourself suffer.

@Abyss Reborn the hell is that supposed to mean

@Odin Sørensen envy means you’re discontented or resentful or longing aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck. That’s the definition of envy. Jealous is feeling or showing envy of someone or their achievements and advantages. The difference between the two is that jealousy can be defined as very watchful or careful in guarding or keeping, and where envy is as previously stated in its textbook definition. It is true that envy is a motivator, but that doesn’t mean the feeling of being envious is a good thing. Homer Simpson is a mix between the two, he is jealous in that he is very watchful of neds advantages and is envious as he complains a lot about neds advantages

@lizard legend sorry I didn’t completely read his reply, but I get where he’s coming from. In the English language jealousy can mean many different things and he’s completely right in what he’s saying about jealousy, but jealousy can also be a less severe version of envy. Like someone can be jealous of someone’s car, someone can be envious of someone else’s lifestyle. Stuff like that

@Captainpep as Odin Sørensen pointed out in his proper reply to you. Yet you completely ignored him

@Abyss Reborn envy and jealousy aren’t the same thing friend

@Captainpep Envy and jealousy are the same damn thing, please stop whining about semantics

@Captainpep No, Jealousy is when you're "extremely careful in protecting someone or something (that is yours)". - Cambridge, again. It's related to the word "zealous", and unlike envy it's considered rightful, hence why the bible reads "God Is a Jealous God" without meaning to portray said god negatively. God wants his followers to follow only him.
There's some overlap with "envy" in modern dictionary definitions due to linguistic errosion and the "people" who engage in it. Even the Simpsons got this one right!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmx1jpqv3RA

"once it turns to motivation envy must be gone" - that's your opinion, not a fact of reality.

"Envy only means that you have negative feelings towards somebody" - You're just making your own definitions, and without addressing my argument on the matter at all, despite me explicitly asking you to.

@Odin Sørensen that’s jealousy you’re thinking of. Envy is a more dangerous version of jealousy that only brings harm to yourself. But envy can in a way lead to motivation, but once it turns to motivation envy must be gone. Envy only means that you have negative feelings towards somebody due to them having something you do not, and being motivated (as said before) is to try and get to what they have because you believe you can do it. Instead of being envious one should just be motivated

@Captainpep I didn't say they were the same. I said envy can be motivating. Don't put words in my mouth.
"those are two separate things that aren’t working together" - Prove it.
"having bad thoughts about the other person" - is that you idea of envy? Because mine is "to wish that you had something that another person has: " - Envy, Cambridge English Dictionary.
It shouldn't be difficult to see how this wish translates into motivation. This is my argument, now damn well address it instead of making more baseless assertions and engaging in fucking tiresome semantics.

@Odin Sørensen envy and motivation are not the same thing. I agree with the dude who responded to you about this, and he’s right. You notice someone has something cool and you feel motivated because you figure “if he can do it, why can’t I?” Of course there can be envy mixed with motivation, but those are two separate things that aren’t working together, you are being motivated while also having bad thoughts about the other person because of their higher status. That’s not a good thing

@Captainpep "It can only lead to suffering" - obviously we can both imagine some exceptions, some scenario where someone feeling envy leads them to do something that causes a chainreaction that eventually does something, anything, that we might characterize as "good". So spare me the dogma and absolutism. If I point to someone who was envious and it motivated them to do something, will you then claim that it wasn't "true envy", like some sort of True Scottsman?

@BallisticaMetal What, so if you act on it, then it's no longer envy? If I take something of yours that I'm envious of you for, then surely that counts both as me being motivated to do that and being envious.

@Odin Sørensen envy is a deadly sin. It can only lead to suffering, it doesn’t motivate you it just ruins yourself because you focus so much on another person that you forget to look at yourself and the world around you

@Odin Sørensen Then that's not envy but a kind of "motivation", like " Well, I want that too and I will try hard to get it"

Unless it motivates you to the stuff from the people you're envious of - which is probably how envy evolved in the natural world - then envy is good for you. Envy that you never act on, for whatever reason, would obviously be nothing but a source of frustration.<br>Of course, good people don't act on such impulses. Hence why envy usually only works for bad people.

damn i never heard someone say laissez faire like that

Lucie’s Guard [8th Apostle of the Twelve]


"American dream" "lassez faire" JUST SAY CAPITALISM ONCE


I never knew it was pronounced 'graining' i always thought it was 'groaning'


It's interesting seeing the old Simpsons message board and even usenet discussions and their influence live on and shape the show's discussion even to this day. The fringe nerds have won!

Nice to see you on here @TheRealJims. Great episode from both of you!


She perhaps needs to borrow future Barts ‘Rag on a stick’ ?<br>🤭

She perhaps needs to borrow future Barts ‘Rag on a stick’ ?

Once family guy came out it was over but I look back on the Simpsons my youthful years just great nestalgia


I have spent years trying to find where the Simpsons are. I haven't found the date but I have compiled a list of 53 states that they are not in.


Ну я не сомневался, что великий эпизод про сужающийся дом фландерса из лучшего сезона Симпсонов


This takes me back!  My household as a child had cheap analog television sets, and sometimes The Simpsons would be green because someone either lifted the TV or messed with the knobs.


I think my fave episode is Mountain of Madness. Where Homer and Mr Burns get trapped under an avalanche and go crazy


I don't appreciate the defeatist 'things can't be perfect so it's wrong to improve them' sort of moral that comes through around three fifths of the way through the video, but it's interesting on the whole. ('Nothing is inevitable' is a moral I prefer.)

I personally had to stop watching once it started pushing right-wing type narratives.


Theres lore to a dumb show?

BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!


WAIT FOLKS STOP THE MUSIC!

Did EmpLemon just call animation a genre?

Animation is a medium capable of all genres.


"it's not hard to understand why many in Gen X had no choice but to view the world with apathy" oh so just like us then, see Gen X we are similar


Who else would like to see a “There will never ever be another Malcolm in the Middle.” I think it would be a perfect fit for these types of videos.

I was very hesitant as a child to like that show but after a few episodes I fell in love. Ugh I miss those "real" shows. Disney had it going for a while too with Lizzie McGuire but the success of Hannah Montana proved that unrealistic fantasies of wealth and fame were more appealing

@Picky Physics Student  they imitated the quirky situational comedy of the simpsons, but forgot all the warmth and genuine happiness that was the basis.

There should be, there will never ever be an F1 driver like Gilles Villeneuve.

I would love that, but I have feeling next Never Ever will be about video game.

i watched it back in i think 2016 (or 14 idk). it was rlly good

It was a very dark comedy, where the characters never win and things only seem to get worse for them, with few exceptions. Kind of gives an Apathy of darkness vibe, which is very depressing to watch. My only main complaint is that the overall message from the show, which was said in the end, is that nobody will stick up for the little guy working 50+ hours/week, while a bunch of the episodes has the family catch a break in a the form of some golden ticket and for them they to f4ck it up and lose everything. They want to paint it as the man putting the foot down on their necks, whereas truth be told, most of their hardships are brought on by themselves.

@TVB Oof, Metal gear solid is not just a game... It's an experience... It's the video game in its purest form.

I can count with one hand how many games use the medium at its fullest.

I want him to do a "there will Never Ever be another video game series like Metal Gear Solid."

@Christhjian first 2 seasons were great relatable and realistic then after that it became out there and bizzare the ratings also plummeted.

Great show that one. Really love the fact there's no moronic laugh track and it takes things even further than The Simpsons in many ways


5:39 TINY note. AIDS was and is a health and sociopolitical crisis, not environmental so it's weird that you used the time magazine cover in that moment.


seeing the Simpsons not be green in an emplemon video feels wrong


I can think of a few other Never Evers. And no, this isn't a please/suggestion comment. These are some of the things I enjoy.
There will Never Ever be another game like Retro Mario
There will Never Ever be another singer like Michael Jackson
There will Never Ever be another voracious storyteller like Eskoz
There will Never Ever be another developer like Masahiro Sakurai
There will Never Ever be another savior like Jesus Christ


zooming in on cosby's fuckin grinning face just as you said "responsible and virtuous role models" was fucking hilarious


Is this the greatest video on YouTube? Could be.


Simpsons seasons 1-7 Family guy seasons 1-4 and Arrested Development seasons 1,2 and 3 and all of Mad Men are my favorite Television.


"in a way all of us live in springfield"

greetings from germany!


My man explaining the simpsons like it’s the nuclear formula


"Lisa, if you don't like your job, you don't strike! You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American way."

@Raul Rojas ha! That’s the second time that’s happened to me this weekend; I’m a Cree Native Canadian dude, comprehendo Español no bueno; that’s more than I can easily translate on my own or can easily feed into Google translate. My email is “rollingwithmylocomotion”! 😂

I took that to heart but in spanish "Lisa si no te gusta tu trabajo, no protestas, solo vas todos los días y lo haces de mala gana.

@psxc something I hear ya! Ain’t nothing like blowing out spicy-mustard laced all beef snot rockets; blah!! 🥵

@Loco Madman yeah that happened to me too and man its horrible when it gets stuck inside your nose and you have to blow it out

There should be, there will never ever be an F1 driver like Gilles Villeneuve.

@AngH3ll has anyone not done soul-crushing labour for a paycheque at least once in their life? It’s a rite of passage to adulthood! 😂

I've applied that quote many times in my working career

@cxphy no, not the whole damn thing (obviously) bwahahaha. Just a regular sized, decently chewed bite.

But lemme tell ya, there is no way to chew quite enough for hot dog to pass easily through the nose comfortably; trust, man!

@cxphy no, not the whole damn thing (obviously) bwahahaha. Just a regular sized, decently chewed bite.

But lemme tell ya, there is no way to chew *quite* enough for hot dog to pass easily through the nose comfortably; trust, man!

@Loco Madman a whole ass hotdog (or half eaten?) that just shoots up your fuckin' nasal cavity, shit chief you might wanna get that checked out

@cxphy I know, right??! That’s kind what went through my head at that moment! (Other than, you know, hot dog). I was eating supper when I read the comment, never laughed so hard solid matter passed through my nasal cavity before, of course I had to share. (Definitely not my finest moment, for sure!)

I’m not kidding you whatsoever; this quote literally made me shoot HOT DOG out of my nose!

(I don’t know about anyone else, but, but that was a first for me!)


That one guy who has a long name for no reason


Hank Hill is Frank Grimes in another universe.


Oh yeah the Simpsons Hotbline to play us out. Great video man


I'm scared  because I know that one-day emp will post "there will never ever be a show like this" and end this amazing series.


grimes and homer is so relatable because it's basically cain and abel in yellow


"krusty gets busted."
Yeah.

Millionaires you are


Absolutely love the Gran Turismo 3 music towards the beginning.


i've had a script about how perfect this episode is sitting in my notes for months. you beat me to the punch!! but i'm so glad more people have such a strong appreciation for it though- it's always been really controversial but i think it's one of the best pieces of writing i've ever seen.


One thing , biopic isnt pronounced like bio-pic more like bi-opic if that makes sense


I feel like we are currently living in a modern day Gen X


Evil homer simpson be like: I am homer simpson


@emplemon 19:19 You claim Laissez faire (the concept of eliminating external, authoritative control to allow for free agency) "created Homer and it also created Mr. Burns."  How could a concept -- that by definition lacks coercive or creative properties -- 'create' anything, let alone be responsible for an individuals identity?  This is where I stopped the video.


I feel like you fully missed Frank’s flaw: it wasn’t an obsession with fairness, but an obsession with materialism. I think that accepting inequality and giving up on fairness is a one way ticket to a society in slow decline.

I see it more as saying that you shouldn't be obsessed with absolutes, the world will never be completely fair, that's just crazy to pursue, it will drive you crazy because of the impossibility of it

its the other way around. His obsession with fairness was based in materialism, as its a very visible way to distinguish both fairness and inequality.

@gote it's not strange. The details may have changed a bit, but the humans of today are just as cruel and petty and dumb as the humans from thousands of years ago. Most addictions can be explained by taking into account that we're still relying on our ancestral instincts as hunter-gatherers. The deepest parts of our brains, the ones that developed over millions of years, or if you believe in Jungian memes, the collective subconscious, are still catching up to society. Our immediate behavior may change quickly, but our true nature doesn't.

Unless, of course, you go full eugenics, then maybe you can change one's fundamental instincts too. They tried domesticating foxes in Russia, it only took a couple of generations before they became tame. However, they weren't as tame as dogs, they still retained some more wild traits.

"But muh free choice and rationality" stop believing in memes, rationality only works for very small groups. You can build a rational commune, but you can't create a rational nation. The masses are inherently irrational, they're driven by those base instincts that we still haven't abandoned.

@The Ledge Disregard my previous statement, there is now a second good take.

Working towards more fairness is good, but unfairness will always exist in some form, so you need to learn to tolerate it. IE: Working to narrow the wealth gap is good, but expecting every human on earth to be paid an amount equal to the amount they work is incredibly unrealistic.

@LuckoDaStars the only good take on this thread

feels like Emp follows that "nothing gets better, real change might not be possible, life goes on the way it does so just accept it and move forward." mindset

@TimBagels that's not what the video was remotely about. If you want something to hyper focus on skin color that's not the Simpsons being yellow or green look elsewhere. And this is the black guy saying that

Yeah, a lot of his takes come from that ‘life goes on, whether you like it or not’ mentality

Agree here. The video is well produced, but I think too much of it is in support of just giving up on social change to improve the lives of those forgotten by america as a social system. Accepting life as unfair is good and all, when you aren't actively being persecuted and jailed by the government based on skin color, heritage and where you live.

big agree. i feel like a lot of emps takes boil down to “nothing is ever going to get better and any real change is impossible” which is strange to me honestly

"But before he could [create the Simpsons], Matt Groening had to enter Hell."
*proceeds to show Los Angeles, California in a red hue*
Only the truth.

Daily reminder that a significant part of California wants to secede as a separate state to get away from the coastal cities.

@John Queen Not necessarily, covington isn't nearly as bad as let's say portland. Urban areas do tend to be leftist for a variety of reasons but they do vary in terms of how much leftist they are. Regardless, I 100% agree with the other guy these people and their beliefs are vermin to our society and I don't want them to ruin my area like they have ruined my entertainment.

@Kurt I live in kentucky he's bullshitting

@Kurt " Preserve my way of life," where have I heard that before? And have you ever lived in California? Some towns have more in common with the great economic powerhouse states of Oklahoma and Arkansas than they do with Los Angeles and San Francisco. And those " ideas" that you fear so much have already made it to red states. The divide is not exactly red vs blue but rather urban vs rural. Try to go out some more and don't fret too much about politics. It's not good for you mental health.

@Kurt Grimes? Is that you? Wishing for the downfall of another won't fill the empty hole in you. Did you even watch the video?

@Mareo Mattengo Given how California is a shithole, while Alabama isn't. And if the south is so bad, and California so good, why is everyone leaving Cali for here?

@Mareo Mattengo I live in New York the South save for maybe Disney World can all burn in hell.

@Z-Form Yeah, I'm sure you do "live in the south".

@Z-Form you live in the south but your section isn’t representative of the entire south<br>And from what I can tell you got the bad section, doesn’t mean an entire state is

@Z-Form you live in the south but your section isn’t representative of the entire south
And from what I can tell you got the bad section, doesn’t mean an entire state is

@Kurt I too insult an entire state because I disagree with there opinion

@Kurt There is no actual Labour Movement in any part of the US, no matter how often your Propaganda Channel Fox News keep perating that the Reds are destroying the US. The US is at this point being drained of all of its resources including the Working Class. Revolution is coming but simply when is the question....

@Z-Form And since you've never been to Alabama, you know nothing of it.

@atur chomicz LOL, if you think that's a "Neo Nazi" thing, you haven't encountered commiefornians.

@Kurt There are no human beings in Alabama. Only confederate sympathizers

@Z-Form At least in Alabama, there's actual human beings. Commiefornia is run by NPCs and insane Left Winger Cultists.

I would definitely rather live in California than Alabama

LA can be bad but it gives you lots of oportunities, there are a lot of cities that are infinitly worse and have 0 oportunities

No one:

I can't be the only one to notice the jingle at 24:30...

It was also used in Gran Turismo 4.


This is one of my favorite episodes. I've never really seen it as mean-spirited like some do. Homer was never outright malicious and Frank's death was really his own doing. This episode shows an unfortunate reality that some just have it easier than others despite not working all that hard.


Frank grimes…another exhibit of the squidwardian psyche


0:53 if you cant recognize this picture, well then you can just get out.


My church pastor when I was in high school looked like Ned Flanders had jumped off the screen.


3:00 Instantly after hearing this song come up Sniper came to my mind


"The greatest art doesn't give us all the right answers, it makes us ask the right questions"

Great art speaks truth often unintended by its creator.


I can remember when the Simpsons was just a short cartoon on the Tracey Ullman show.
I bet she regrets it now tho, as I'm not sure many people will have any idea who Tracey Ullman even is lol. But EVERYBODY can tell you who 5he Simpsons are.

Wrote that ^^^ before it shows us Tracey Ullman. Doh!


2:43 the i95 runs from FL all the way up the east coast, so you already can tell it's more than just one place in the states.


Springfield is most likely located in organ based on their tax structure. Not to mention many roads in Matt groaning home town have the same name as Simpsons characters, like quimby street. The name proves nothing but it’s fair to assume that Springfield was somewhat inspired by Springfield organ.


This might be the best video on YouTube.


There Will Never Ever Be Another Video Game Like Portal 2


waiting for one of these episodes
-there will Never Ever be another youtuber like kitty0706
-there will Never Ever be another band like Nirvana
-there will Never Ever be another album like Kid A
-there will Never Ever be another musician like Jimi Hendrix
-there will Never Ever be another genre/movement like Punk
-there will Never Ever be another game like Team Fortress 2

Half of those are good. The other half horrible


Frank Grimes dying and the bad guys destroying the world in Final Fantasy 6: moments in excessive 90s pop culture that smartly “went there”. Today though, The Simpsons reminds me of the power of knowing when to end it and how the ending punctuation shapes perception of the whole.


Fun Fact: This is the second Never Ever that lasts 41 minutes

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

And the middle of them all in terms of time (shortest is E1, longest is E5).


I think we need some classical American heroes right now to fix the supply lines. My modern American hero cycle has ground to a halt lately.


2:58 bro seriously put meet the sniper music in the background. Madlad.


Way to stick the fuckin landing on this video emp. That was some poetry. These YouTubers are going crazy nowadays


I feel like you could write a never ever on several dozen of Simpsons episodes, they were one of the sharpest and smartest episodes to exist (during a period of time)


Woah nice vsauce intro! nostalgia hit me like a mf


Homer represents laissez-faire? That is a rather glib interpretation.


"I mean, To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep"
-not sure


best part of the episode is millhouse working for bart.<br>"So, this is my life now, At least i did better than dad"

best part of the episode is millhouse working for bart.
"So, this is my life now, At least i did better than dad"


Besides the americsn version of shsmeless Macy isnt really know for being working class. Unless you were upper-middle or upper-class , then the roles might be appear to be working class to you. Working class is a nicer way of saying poor person.


Homer abuses his son.

Just so no one forgets.


Bravo my mans  I just relived my entire  childhood 👏👏👏


The Simpsons achieve the american dream as Homer geting paid for nothing, they are geting money for a not that good seasons, and as it was said here, THEY ARE HEROS for being able to be release bad episodes and still get a ton of money, life isn't fair but as FOX we have to take advantage of the stablishmemnt, some of us like the simpsons now should stop being hard working like Frank Grimes and become more like Homer.

I exist without my consent • 24 minutes ago

Amen to that. As a certain suave captain once said, "Take what you can, given nothing back!"


Do “there will never ever be another band like Pink Floyd” next


i have always said that the only good episodes are the ones that are in 4:3 aspect ratio, never knew that it was an actual thing though just thought it was my single opinion that was like that lol


24:19 idk why but the bowling ally thing just gave me a rush of mixed emotions that were probably stronger than what was warranted.

I had exactly the same reaction, I’ve been replaying that part I love it so much


This episode when Simpsons became terrible and unwatchable for me.  Totally lost its heart when they kill Grimes.<br>   The season after this was so terrible and I've never enjoyed Simpsons since

homers enemy wasnt that great in my opinion


Glad this episode tried to destory the Hollywood Humble bullshit


I can't believe this episode was were the green joke started
It's like poetry
It rhymes

@Scientist Walter It all comes full circle


I always thought it was pronounced "Groan-ing"


I appreciate the Mario music in the background throughout the video :)))


To quote a reddit bot:
"Did you mean the Queen of the United Kingdom, the Queen of Canada, the Queen of Australia, etc?

Homer is everyone's spirit animal; the one we either hide from or embrace.


There is no Homer Simpson, there is no Mickey Mouse, and there is no Queen of England

I like to think that Springfield is just the 51st state


3:26 Please do not knock the land that I love.


Wait. Matt’s Parents Share The Same Name As America’s Most Known Couple?!


Now, the Simpsons are everything they originally stood against.

@nyanuwu also, in addition to my previous explaination, you misunderstood the meaning of NPC in this context

@nyanuwu I did make a point, maybe you were too busy using Twitter to see it. My point was that obviously if some person has a Twitter pfp they are gonna defende it like a fanboy.

@Lobotomy Correct. Didn't make any sort of a point, but correct.

@nyanuwusays the guy with the twitter bird pfp

@midnightshade32 It has nothing to do with "npcs" (which aren't a thing outside of video games) or "the Twitter mobs". Work out your shit. The Simpsons isn't a part of it.

Yep, bowed down to the npcs and the Twitter mobs. Of course the status quo has changed shape (its no longer pearl clutching older conservatives, hasn't been for at least a decade, it's now stuffy rich corporate identity politicking woke weirdos) . Its strange how some people can see the bullshit and others are blind to what's going on.

They have become the very thing they swore to destroy


Has the canon finale already happened in The Simpsons? LMK in the replies. ⤵


5:45.... in under 3 decades we just made all the same fucking mistakes up to circa 2021 and ongoing. what an utter joke of a nation we are.


Bart saying "Quality shmaulity, if I had a TV show I'd run that sucker into the ground" is one of the most elaborate jokes ever.

It's up there with Luigi's beta model from Super Mario 64 being released 24 years and 1 month after the game's original release date, finally confirming L is real 2401.


Yeah yeah, but when are we going to get a full hour episode talking about the TRUE greatest episode "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)"?


The Simpsons ended the moment the stopped doing hand drawn animation.  <br>Once they went to animating on the computer. It has been terrible ever since.

It’s incredible that a character who only appeared once in a show that has 600 episodes is still so memorable to this day.

With my colorblindness, I would not have noticed the colorshifted Simpsons if you hadn't mentioned it. 😅


Continuing shows until you run them into the ground is the American way.


came for the "how the fuck could anyone get 41 minutes out of discussing this," stayed for the Adam Curtis-level vivisection we just witnessed.

Perfectly possible for someone to spend ten hours talking about a single episode of a television show if there's enough to say about it.

@Kazuma K. You know...vivisection. In a scientific sense, that means cutting an animal or person for research. But in this sense...it's an extremely in-depth criticism or analysis.


Next episode of Never Ever: Star Wars the Clone Wars


The Gran Torismo 4 music in the video was very nostalgic. Thank you.


Homer? Now where have I heard that name before?


I thought Frank Grimes was a 1:1 for the look of D-FENS from Falling Down, huh!


I think you mixed up capitalism and alcohol.

I read your post 20 minutes before it was applicable & so eloquently appropriate. Well done, Sir!!

@Mr. Fancypants Why the e-peen hostility over a lame comment at all? Did alot stuff get deleted? It seems just like a throwaway thought from a fan of Whang and Da Emps.. not sure of what he did really for you to shame him about like-baiting;which if this is considered baiting, then fucking shit do you have to hate people that address the creators at all rather than just contextually arguing about videos content. <br>Really don't see what's going on here, but regardless, Reddit is more your thing methinks if you're so righteous over the Updoots.

There should be, there will never ever be an F1 driver like Gilles Villeneuve.

Only 58 seconds into the video so I have no idea what you're talking about yet but, this comment looks hilarious out of context.

@Jonas Seorum did he delete his comment?

@Zidders Roofurry tools are usefull tho.

Guess you could say that's a whang-y mixed up.

Whacky, huh? Huh? B)

@Whang! I love it when someone's self righteous hallucination gets crushed in such a simple and harmless way.

@Whang! holy shit lmao he called you out and you came through 😂 love to see it!

@Whang! Someone finally proved me wrong.

@Mr. Fancypants Actually the comment was about a reference Emp made to a joke from Season 8, Episode 18: Homer vs The Eighteenth Amendment

Well you literally cant have one without the other. Im just glad im not an alcoholic

@kingd8 Here's the thing that bothers me to; that checkmark comments always come in leaving allmost all the time these empty unrelated comments to the video that aren't even funny or remotely usefull.
Then they get upvotes from sheep fans just because they watch them and leave these awfull stupid reply's like: HuH? WhaT ArE YoU DoIng HeRE? As if it is not normal that other people watch video's to.
And they don't even reply to anything said under they'r comment making it double useless as it shows they simply don't care.
Watch this: Hey whang! I think your channel is as creative as a dying artist who thinks he still got it but is completely out of touch.

Watch them 90% not even read any of our reply's.

Quite honnestly i think youtube would be better if the comment section didn't have a like or dislike option.

@kingd8 He didnt attack the guy personally though, he only said his comment was trash.

@Jonas Seorum I understand where they're coming from. It's true that like-farming comments are rampant these days. The wording is, how shall I put it, a bit strong, though.

@kingd8 He has got my respect and empathy

@Mr. Fancypants Or, you could try to at least sound like a respectable and empathetic human being. Just a suggestion.

@Jack Winter It is not unexpected at all

I came here right after I watched your video lmao


Disney is running it into the ground by changing all the characters to make way to it woke sooooo


7:32 it laided the ground work for the media of today which in a ironic way killed it satire cant. Exist if its run out of things to mock it was so successful that it hunted its prey to exstinction and others copied it


why did emplemom uses green as comparisan to the simpsons' yellow skin? because frank grimes was green with envy


I watched Homer's Enemy when I was a kid and I'm Gen X. I actually empathized with that character because they were one of the only logical characters in the series and what they said made complete sense to what was going on. It looked horribly unfair and unlucky and the episode optimized both points to the absolute maximum then killed the character off at the end rather than making them join the springfield insanity after his outburst.

Whatever philosophical point you think the episode was trying to make is vastly overthinking it. The quotes you linked definitely confirm what I was thinking then. They essentially brought someone "from the real world" into Springfield, they were disgusted and driven insane by what they see and die in a crazed filled outburst. After that the community figuratively urinates on the corpse.

The allusion to Ned Flanders was interesting but Homer has done so much damage to Ned Flanders over the episodes that it never felt like a situation that had you empathizing with Homer. In fact, many times had you empathizing with Flanders, who didn't really do anything wrong but kept having bad things happen to him. The portrayal of the Flanders vs the Simpsons was not even somewhat as one-sided as this episode.

This episode was memorable because it genuinely felt like the makers no longer liked the Simpsons and wanted to bury it in the most overt way possible. And its why its the last episode of the cartoon I had really cared about watching.


Y'all just watch videos like this and think: mhm , i understood almost nothing . Like is it just me or


With the recent news, I have to bring this up.
Do this, it would make me happier.

Married With Children walked so The Simpsons could sprint into an endless marathon.

@Anthony Weiner`s Nose Okay there Archie, it's time to go back to bed

@Nick Rustyson Archie Bunker was right about everything, Meathead was the ignorant one. You overthink it.

Simpsons have sucked very hard since at least 2005

@Below The Dot Even then, the Bundys may be the pioneers, the Bunkers were there before.

All in the Family is what the American family was like worts and all, and no character fills that role more than Archie

The lovable bigot, he was an assertively prejudiced blue-collar worker, World War II veteran, who longs for the old days where his opinions were the norm, though unlike bigots who are motivated by hateful racism or prejudice. His ignorance and stubbornness seem to cause his malapropism-filled arguments to self-destruct

His kind-hearted wife Edith enders his old viewpoint with a smile on her face, even though she defers from her husband's opinions on the rare occasions when Edith takes a stand, she proves to have a simple but profound wisdom. Despite their different personalities, they love each other deeply.

Their daughter Gloria  is a mix of both of them, taking the kind-hearted parts from Edith, but the stubborn from her father, she manifests as childishness, later as a more mature feminism

 and then there is the son in law Michael, a character that is everything Archie hates, a good-hearted and well-meaning hippy who is just as stubborn as his father in law

Yup, that show was the real anti-sitcom pioneer.

@Below The Dot There's E! True Hollywood Story's episode of Married With Children, which goes into its development, vision of showing a realistic American family, its rise in popularity due to its counterculture elements, and various controversies that arose from its content.

I'd watch a 5 hour video about how Married with Children were the real pioneers of "anti-sappy" dysfunctional family TV


Trying to control other people's lives is the easiest way to make oneself and someone else miserable.

You know what I think? Frank isn't successful because he isn't happy. Maybe if he found happiness, he could be successful?


Simpsons ran it's course by the late 90s. It's astounding that it's still on and even more astounding that some people actually watch it

@Harry Derosnec That person has ALL of my respect

I was born in 84 and still watch in just to see if I can catch a glimpse of what I loved from my childhood. so far, so no.

@Hercules Rockefeller, Esq. im w you there bro, i knew the show had changed drastically from what it was in the 90s but i didnt know why or how.. good to know im not the only one 👍

I dont think I've watched a new episode in at least 15 years, and it used to be a "can't miss" until about ~2000ish, give or take?

because its a fine show. Not really a big deal

@Harlemfries found the person who has never used reddit

It's now a normie show for a mainstream that is much more cancerous than the mainstream it parodied.


33:57 THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT DISNEY; I BORN IN 1970, SAW STAR WARS ORIGINALLY, RIGHT THEN I VOWED I WOULD SEE EPISODE 9, EVEN THO THERE WEREN'T ANY PLANS FOR IT. I ONLY KNEW THAT "STAR WARS, A NEW HOPE." WAS EPISODE 4 OUT 9. I HAVE AVOIDED SUICIDE, AND PRISON FOR DECADES, JUST TO SEE EPISODE. I AM BETTER NOW, BUT I HAVE YET TO SEE EPISODE 9 NOW THAT DISNEY OWNS IT


Then I guess it's Springfield, Oregon where the Simpsons live lol


Maybe homer is right by dumping water on the security dashboard, they never died in a meltdown, except some episodes

This is basically the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius<br>"The quality of one's life reflects the quality of his thoughts."

This is basically the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius
"The quality of one's life reflects the quality of his thoughts."

@seronymus Interesting. After reading a lot of different texts, it certainly seems like there's a "universal philosophy" which all of them share. Comparing the ideas behind Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Stoicism, and Christianity produce a huge number of striking similarities. The same central concepts seem to transcend cultures and time periods.

I suppose that from my point of view, Christianity seems to be nothing insanely unique - more like it's just another take on a Universal truth, filtered through its own cultural and historical context, just like these other philosophies and spiritualities.

@Skin Man "Righteous Heathen" is a specific category of a pagan who prototyped the fullness of the Gospel. Similar men in this category would be Plato, Buddha, Confucius and Laotsi. Marcus was a Stoic. Stoicism shared some similarities with Christianity compared to the primitive chaos of uncivilized tribes. Seeds of the truth, essentially.

@seronymus By what grounds could he be considered righteous? After reading meditations, he seems nothing of the sort.

Funny enough, Marcus Aurelius was an archetypal Righteous Heathen. This quote foreshadows the Orthodox saint Elder Thaddeus' book "Our Thoughts determine Our Lives".

@Kat Licks Have you read any of the stoic texts? They wrote them with exactly these situations in mind. For them, philosophy is a guide to life, and seeing as life (especially in their era) was full of suffering, slavery, murder, despots, prison, exile, etc., these scenarios form a large part of their focus.

@Paul Webb Great. Who the hell is starving man? Not that many people. thanks to capitalism more people as a percentage have been lifted out of poverty in the last 30 years than all of history.

@Paul Webb dude you need to learn about epictetus, the grand master of stoicism. his early life was total shit, born into slavery and suffering. he only stayed sane and freed himself by freeing his mind. moreso than even in those "good" circumstances does good thoughts and the philosophy of freedom and keeping the only things you can control matter. Many stoics would argue that we are more enslaved than ever when we arent challenged and have all we want.

@Paul Webb All philosophy goes out the window when you're reduced to a beast struggling everyday for survival alone.

Or I should say, your mind can still change most situations, even if it's only to find glory in dying trying to change said situation as so many people did against oppression. To be reduced to a beast without hope is tragedy, but to maintain one's mind through adversity is triumph.

That only works as long as your basic necessities are taken care of. If you're starving with no food, good thoughts won't make your life better.

or maybe the quality of one's thoughts reflect the quality of his life😁


Sucks what the fox network has become today given how much they promoted the rebellion attitude of gen x


I hate that his name is pronounced “Matt Graining”.


I deadass just watched the whole death of a salesman play because u mentioned it


Oof, once you get into your evaluations (opinions) of America and the show - starts missing.


the music is clearly stolen from Vsauce, but it fits, so nice!


"The more recent generation LOVES this episode"

Why do I find this not suprising and also a little dis-heartening?

Because nihilism. And because "sit back and enjoy life" is not a solution to the problems that the nihilism will eventually create. The sand is sprinting through the hourglass.

@CeeStyleDj and everyone knows we don't take shit seriously

Strange, I never really liked that episode and I'm not an adult yet...

@Mr. Ryan I'm 31 and I remember watching it for the first time and thinking 'why don't I like this episode?'. Something about it, which I couldn't understand at the time, just didn't sit right with me

I’m 36 and it’s been my favorite episode since I first saw it in 1998. I’ve never viewed it as Homer being a bad person, just a very different person than Grimes.

Maybe it was the writers way of saying don't take this too seriously, it's a comedy, these aren't role models ( The Simpsons family) It's Entertainment.


Seeing Emp stand my Rusty Cage, it’s now I realize how tall Admiral Asian Akbar is.


This video sounds like it was written by an AI


Don't be Frank Grimes nor Homer Simpson. Be someone inbetween.


With another masterpiece being concluded, I wonder if Emplemon will become stale like everything else over the years, like he said in the video. Can't imagine Emp withering away... but like you said, eventually, everyone runs out of ideas, right? Only time will tell.

Emp started producing this sort of content after he got tired of the YTP community. I'm pretty sure he will try to innovate again, or at least know when to quit.

Hopefully, when he runs out of ideas he just quits. Plenty of good things came to a graceful end.


You forget to mention Matt Groening being 33rd degree Freemason.


Talks about inequality then shows sat scores by race, i'm gonna need some elaboration here


grimes hates homer because hes an oaf.. thats the entire point of the character homer.. hes the american everyman whos an idiot. thats literally why hes the main character in the show and why he prospers because the show needs him to.. grimes could be considered the people who made homer the character of te show and their disdain for him in the first place.  i really never considered this episode that special but i guess if youre analyzing it from some writers perspective then i guess it has a lot of elements worth noting.. but to me it lways just seemed like duh obvious he doesnt like homer because hes dumb.. i liked this video, it made me want to go back and watch every episode seriously.. i remember when my mom didnt want me to watch this show because it was bad.. probably because i was like 6 years old..


Wow. I'm only 25 minutes in but this is quite possibly the greatest single piece of content I've ever watched. I feel conflicted about whether I should laugh uncontrollably or cry my eyes out. No, I'm serious; I feel like I could do both at the same time - surely an accomplishment that doesn't happen every day. The way you articulate words and ideas is truly eloquent and flawless in every sense of the word. Videos like this are what inspire me to be a better artist, a better writer, a better creator, but most importantly, a better person. You've effortlessly described both the pinnacle and pitfall of the American Dream, the challenges and struggles we all face in this life, and the juxtaposition of the modern man vs. the classical man in a way that I think very few people could ever do. I award you all the points, and may God still have mercy on your soul (because it's still important lol). 😂 Godspeed, my friend!

@Home Studio Basics i couldnt have said it better myself broski 👌

@Home Studio Basics STU COME TO DISCORD .......

@Home Studio Basics I want a 9 to 5 work where I can cheat my way out for 30 years. 😂 I have that common with Homer. 😁

@Prabin Paudel Homer had good qualities though. He wasn't all bad.

@Prabin Paudel I'm an ex homer reformed classical lol. 😂

This video made me realize I'm more of a Homer than I think I am. I admired Homer. Didn't know I took so much from Homer to live my life! 😁


32:45. Not for me, the decline started around a season later.


POV: you made a donut and homer come to take it :)))


I can’t remember what episode but Martin Sheen narrates that the simpsons are a “Kentucky family,” which is interesting I guess.

I honestly thought the simpsons were green to avoid a copyright claim.

In one of his older rant videos he said it was that.

@BlamBlarson most definitely though im in the same simpleton boat.

I bet there's something philosophical you could make of this comment tied to the video but I'm too simple to come up with it

I thought so too due to his 2nd video on copyright


Around the 38 minute mark I noticed the background music was the instrumental of the opening theme to the show “Aqua teen hunger force” the season it was going as “aqua tv show show”. Is this an homage to another groundbreaking show that was subversive and maybe stayed past its peak?

4:09 Wait, is that the title screen song to one of the "the game" Flash games?


Can someone tell me the name of the song in the Beginning of "YOU'RE what's wrong with America" section? I've heard it before, really nostalgic but I don't know the name

"homer's enemy" really made me sad, it was such a real episode

@Deez Nuts Also, the real enemy was Burns.

The irony is that Homer never considered Frank an enemy


Came for the analysis, stayed for the Gran Turismo/Tourist Trophy music.


The aqua tv show show theme was a nice touch!


lol everything you're saying gen x went through, millennials have gone through.. twice... each.


I love this episode, Frank loses his shit cause he’s homer simp...

So this is matt groenings oregon, I mean origin story?


Hey, it's Rusty Cage! Your music is great and some of it is the best unsettling music I've heard!


Holy shit. Who else didn’t know Matt’s parents had the same name as the Simpsons parents?

Also, Matt's father's name was Homer Philip Groening, so Fry is also his father's namesake.
And regarding Springfield, it is most certainly based off of Springfield, Oregon, a town just South of where Matt Groening grew up.

Also, Matt's father's name was Homer *Philip* Groening, so Fry is also his father's namesake.
And regarding Springfield, it is most certainly based off of Springfield, Oregon, a town just South of where Matt Groening grew up.

It gets even better. When they were naming Grandpa Simpson, Matt refused to even be in the room, because his mom and dad gave him so much crap for naming Homer and Marge after them. The writers named Grandpa Simpson "Abraham," which just happened to be Matt's grandpa's name.

Another fun fact, Matt's mom paternal surname is Wiggum.

Also his grandpa is name Abraham and his sisters Lisa and Maggie

I KNOW< mind blown, I cant wait to tell everyone.


My collection stops at 9. Fk what Simpsons became. <br>Grimes isnt a "classic" hero. Grimes has nothing because he strives for nothing. You don't get rewarded for life, you get rewarded when you reward yourself. To work hard and expect everyone else to care about your achievements is appalling. No one cares about you or what you do. Homer has the life because he lives.

@Fragmented R I'm really glad you love Long Beach. I love it too. It gets a bad rap but I feel it's misunderstood and underrated.

There should be, there will never ever be an F1 driver like Gilles Villeneuve.

@Marcos Cárdenas Downtown LA begs to differ.

@Fragmented R So Greater Los Angeles/Southland then?

@Marcos Cárdenas Dear God, a northerner! Forgive me, I had no idea I was speaking to a superior lifeform such as yourself!

Seriously, Trump had a base in every state, north and south.

@Marcos Cárdenas And yet, we're somehow still better off than urban ghettos of the glorious progressive cities run by Democrats.
I've been all over Louisiana and Mississippi, and what I see is people living their lives not hurting anyone.
The worst experiences I've ever had in the south have always been in cities, not the bumpkin towns that you clearly have disdain for.
You're confusing poverty with simple living.

@Marcos Cárdenas Ah, the typical city-dweller in action. "There aren't 70 restaurants within 2 minutes of me! This is literally a third-world country!"

I think I’m home! What a delightfully eclectic group! Let’s see, what’s the quote again? Ahh, yes;

“Sometimes in life, we are given a choice between being a slave in Heaven or a star in Hell. And Hell does not always look like Hell. On a good day, it can look a lot like LA.” - Eugene Sands, “Playing God”

@Marcos Cárdenas Gee, you seem to travel a lot, pal.

@Jordan L eh, maybe. Oh well, at least I got to give the definitive LA review lol.

@Fragmented R I think they are speaking from an incel point of view.

@Zaid Nava as someone who doesn’t live there but visits often, LA is very mixed in my opinion, but that’s because when I think LA, I think of all the other cities in that general area too, like Burbank, Long Beach, Hollywood, etc. some of them suck, some of them are awesome, so overall the area’s like a 6 or 7/10 for me.

Fun fact, I actually met Emp in LA (VidCon specifically) so he certainly speaks from experience.
