I'm a millennial, and I'm feeling personally attacked having hair loss product marketed to me. Because I think I'm not old enough to be losing my hair, but man does that hairline get further from my eyes every day. Next thing you know, we'll all blink and our favorite YouTubers are marketing erectile dysfunction pills to us like the classic rock radio stations do.

This will probably get buried, but hair loss can't be treated if your hair line is receding. The follicles themselves are falling out and skin is growing over them. Hair loss can only be treated if your hair is thinning, and for that you can use finasteride or minoxidil topically (tablets aren't ideal due to systemic side effects).

Holy sheep sh!t! I just realized your name is an actual pun. The Reaver of Darkness ~ ‘Reaver’ is a pun for ‘river’ ~ If that’s what you mean. Puns aren’t literal interpretations. If the word ‘loss’ had another meaning of was spelled differently, then you’d have a pun. <br>E.g.~ A man got hit by a can soda. He was lucky it was a soft drink. That’s a pun, because the word ‘soft’ has an alternate meaning. ,

@ElisonJackson no, I’m really not 😂 I think it’s hilarious; a lot funnier than his initial attempt at a ‘pun’. I find this whole thread to be a lot funnier ‘joke’ than his misadventures w/puns. But please, tell me how I’m taking this too seriously a little more.

@m. stone he was joking. get over it lolll you're taking it too seriously

@m. stone Don't get mad at me because you didn't get the joke. If you know puns so well, you're having an awful lot of trouble identifying the one you're currently hyper-analyzing.

@TheReaverOfDarkness this is not a pun, and it’s not a play on words. It’s a childish joke. It’s taking a literal meaning of the words, and that’s all. I’m above 30, bro, so your lil explanation doesn’t fly. Take the ‘L’, and figure out wtf puns actually are. Again, best of luck with all that.

@m. stone It's humor oriented toward some of the more savvy types of people. The sensible chuckle type. Probably targeted toward people in their thirties and up, especially among those who appreciate low-quality puns. It is perhaps a dad joke, to some extent. It is akin to British humour.

@TheReaverOfDarkness No, this isn’t a pun, and it’s not even a play on words. It’s taking the literal meaning of ‘hair loss’, and it’s not clear that’s what you’re doing. It sounds more like you’re just confused.

@m. stone It's a play on words in which the meaning is twisted to something similar but typically incongruent, used for humorous effect.

Example: a hair loss product = product which causes hair loss

@TheReaverOfDarkness Which word is a pun? Do you know what a pun is?

@m. stone It's a product that gives you hair loss.

@TheReaverOfDarkness no, it’s not. It does nothing for hair loss. You’re mistaken.

@m. stone Yes, it is a "hair loss product" indeed.

@TheReaverOfDarkness Nair is a hair remover.

bruh ya'll ads are getting smarter man I swear

If you catch it early enough you can revert it! USE CODE EMPLEMON AT CHECKOUT FOR 30% OFF!!

The only hair loss product I ever used (or wanted to use, for that matter) was Nair. And yes, it works.

Real shit dude, one of Emp's other videos where he first did a hair loss ad stuck with me. I tried that stuff (store brand though) and it actually works


Your time stamps sound like an album song list

It’s hard to imagine the simpsons being considered counter culture

See, not even being that attached to Homer, I found Grimes more annoying then sympathetic. Sympathy does not come if you keep asking for it. And I was not sad when he left


I really like your definition of the American dream. Pushing for chance when you feel discontent.

what am i doing here ive literally never watched simpsons


i love how EmpLemon always finds a way to make anything seem like a 1-in-a-universe absolute masterpiece with 15 years of preperation.


I used to mess with the color knobs and make cartoons green on the old TVs back in the day


Prosperity and individual liberty? Another word for greed?


This video also breaks down exactly why its so shitty now. It was THE show for counterculture and being truthful, now its washed over and docile. Appealing to a general audience


i dont think thisi s EVEN ABOUT Homers enemy.


Dude this is brilliant. Extremely well done


One minute in I was worried he was gonna expose the illuminati


This is quite possibly the single best video you've ever produced.


Do a video on the Tracy Ulman show next please


what it means to be american is to live in america lol


The Simpsons was so great. Grew up watching the early seasons with my dad over and over again. Unfortunately, upon reflection, George H. Bush was right. The nation was better off when we all had an ideal to strive for in the Walton's and not the Simpsons. Entertainment is fine and I don't fault the show or it's creators but you can't deny the change society has gone through due to the media we consumed. In 1990, the message was about being okay with being dysfunctional and broken and the human struggle. In 2021, its about embracing and glorifying it. Modern America only supports two types of people. The perpetual apathetic zombie and the professional victim.  The Simpsons and the Media that followed caused America to glorify dysfunctional and reject improvement. Pride in laziness, cynicism, and subverting every aspect society with no desire to build anything better. And the world is a darker place. This video made me realize one thing. It wasn't Millennials that ruined the world... It was Gen X.


What is the song name at 5:00??

I need it in my playlist XD


i like how the grand turismo 3 car dealership music is playing


This depressed the fuck out of me.

Thanks.


"Homer's Enemy is when The Simpsons jumped the shark, and they did it brilliantly" is not a take i expected, but boy is it an impressive take!


what's the music around 8 minutes in? it sounds so familiar but I can't remember what it's from


too bad Matt Groening's edginess led him to be a passenger on the lolita express


I paused this video for several months until i reached this point in the series. Now time to finally finish this bitch.


What's always been weird to me is that if "Homer's Enemy" was honest with itself, Grimes' real enemy was always Mr. Burns. He's the one who underpays Frank, and he's basically Homer but at a much grander scale; more cruel, more lazy, more fickle, and more cartoonishly wealthy. And he's done nothing to deserve his position either. But the show positions Homer as an antagonizing presence in Frank's life, while Burns is treated as some almost neutral agent, even though in a very real sense, he's the true cause of Frank Grimes' misery.

Grimes’ enemy is.. Burns? ...Really??

I’d have thought Grimes’ biggest enemy is himself. Why did he not take more personal responsibility for how he feels instead of blaming a world he was angry at? Just treads an uncomfortably fine line, no disrespect.

I think it is intentional that Grimes takes out his anger on Homer instead of Mr. Burns who is responsible. Because if American workers started taking there anger out  the systems or Mr. Burns then Frank Grimes is a communist. But if he fights a fellow worker then he is considered a capitalist who wants to succeed. Plus it would not make sense for the plot.

I think thats partially the point. Its much in the way that the mid-lower class will claw at and fight eachover instead of focusing on those at the top, those with actual power over them

Even Mr. Burns is little more than a symptom of the same system


I was 20 when the pilot screened in the UK..
Side Q...
Why is the 1st episode called the pilot ??
Because its the 1st episode ever aired !!


No, there won’t be another episode like Homer’s Enemy in the current seasons, because Homer’s Enemy is both funny and good.

@HAHA ISN'T IT FUNNY? I can't see your side in this. Perhaps if you watched the episodes in reverse order, it might seem to happen that way, but not gradually over time, rather all of a sudden as you got back to the early episodes. The characters have been fleshed out more and more as time goes on. One of the best things I can say about the Simpsons is that they DON'T resort to overusing character stereotypes where almost all other long-lived shows do.

Take for example Season 32 Episode 14, an episode I had never seen before and selected simply because it was recent. In that episode, Homer spends the night in jail for being too drunk in public, and gets put in a cell with Cletus. As he often does, Homer decides once again to put a good effort into improving himself for his family. After jail time, he goes to Cletus' house and learns some hillbilly wisdom (laden with hick jokes, of course), but Homer helps Cletus get his own life off the ground and Cletus becomes slightly famous. He lets it get to his head and abandons his own family, so Homer joins forces with Marge and Cletus' girlfriend to help him see what he is doing to his family.

It may not be completely original, but it's a heartwarming story I wouldn't say is overdone. In it there are many times when the characters struggle with their own obstacles (sometimes comically easy to get past, but hey), we get lots of opportunities to see what the characters are made of, and a handful of characters who grow a bit.

Barney becomes an Uber driver. Unfortunately he's drunk on the job.

Moe takes Homer's keys into custody on the fateful night and has copies made, selfishly and in secret. He steals Homer's car just to take it to the car-wash and dream briefly that he owns a car this nice. And he then returns it.

Cletus uses his love of music to communicate how often the most important things in life are the people you can rely on and who can rely on you. It's that second half he comes to face by the end of the episode.

Chief Wiggum fails to capture a drunken Homer Simpson, tries to call the cops when his car is vandalized with him in it, and is tricked into giving Snake Jailbird a hacksaw as a "musical instrument", which Snake then uses to lull Wiggum to sleep as he escapes from his cell. I'd like to see Chief Wiggum get some growth for once, but apparently he's supposed to be the buttmonkey for all time.

This episode also features some up-with-the-times commentary on how cruel and selfish talent agents can be, and fearlessly roasts Ellen DeGeneres.

- - -

So in conclusion, I don't see what you mean about the same old stereotypes being overused. If you're referring to the characters being somewhat predictable, that could just be because you have a good grasp of their personality.

@TheReaverOfDarkness Most definitely didn't like it. And its not at least a "lazy episode". The show has become frustratingly intolerable. From most characters like Lisa and Bart being reduced to their bare bones personality, Homer being more oafish and rude instead of being actually human, and most side characters just being the crutch for a punchline. The Simpsons is the longest U.S. TV show running so far, and it's absolutely evident. It makes me sad how much they are trying to milk this show for all its worth. I'm sure you enjoyed the show from a place where I couldn't, and I can appreciate that. But from where I stand, the modern era of Simpsons have shown me some of the worst jokes I've ever seen.

@TheReaverOfDarkness Disney fucking ruined it like they ruin everything else they buy out

@HAHA ISN'T IT FUNNY? From a show with ~700 episodes, it would be strange if they didn't have at least one lazy episode. I challenge you to find a show with more than 5% as many episodes that doesn't have at least one lazy episode. One lazy episode doesn't make the whole show lazy.

P.S.: I've never seen the episode in question, but from your description and whoitare awezzome's description, it sounds like it's probably creative social commentary and you just either didn't get it or got it and didn't like it.

@whoitare awezzome Yes, but they did it in a way that actually added onto something, if they had something to say about society or something within popular media, they would do it in a way that's creative and entertaining. Just because they do what Simpsons did before, doesn't mean that they're doing a good job at it.

@HAHA ISN'T IT FUNNY?but that's literally what Simpsons always did. Make fun of things relevant at given time

@TheReaverOfDarkness there's literally an episode where Bart Simpson becomes a gamer and they just make fun of competive gamers instead of actually doing anything interesting. They're doing the bare minimum for entertainment.

@DoctorPhileasFragg It is one of very few truly transcendent shows and arguably the greatest one of all time.

@TheReaverOfDarkness The Simpsons is the only "good stuff"?

I honestly can't fathom why people hate on the recent Simpsons episodes. The show remains more relevant and clever than almost anything else on "TV". The only real competition at its level these days is South Park. Simpsons viewership isn't declining because its quality is declining, the viewership is declining because people are getting used to The Simpsons and want something new. The episodes are every bit as good as they used to be, they're just still Simpsons episodes. And it retains very high viewership today, because whenever we get a breath of fresh air by watching some other show, we inevitably tire of it quickly and come back to the good stuff.


There will never ever be another band like Pantera


I want to watch this but I don’t want to watch 41 minutes


it's kind of ironic that the conservative, family values oriented culture of the past is now the counterculture of today, while the counterculture of the past is mainstream today.


I always thought this episode was the best one in the entire series, glad to know Emp agrees as well!


"simpsons green"<br>whole video they are yellow.

Disagree about the "American Dream" part. America was just another endeavor in imperialism, it was the dream of unlimited profit. A whole new land, even if people already lived there. It was an experiment in seeing how far we could push a "free market," and it inevitably failed. The illusions of grandeur were only achieved by few, while those led astray were exploited. Those who didn't wish for the "American Dream," too, were taken there against their will. The American Dream, as a concept, is understandable. But you cannot attribute it to real life examples, such as "crossing a sea into a completely different land." After all, the Americas were highly contested by colonizers, with the French, Spanish, Portuguese, and of course, English. It's a paradoxical mindset with a destructive nature, and as such, cannot represent whatever 'American Dream' is positive. That being said, again, whatever your interpretation of the American Dream is is up to you. But the freeness of man was only given by those 'pioneers' if their ethnicity matched their own. You cannot erase history, or historical context, and as such, using those examples is wrongheaded.

The argument that "Life is Unfair" is unbelievably obtuse. Life, in a society that feeds on inequity & unfairness, will always be unfair. What fairness is obviously not meant to be absolute, the world is chaotic. Homer's Enemy seems to me, more as commentary of the fact that American Idealism is misconstrued. Grimes takes his anger out towards his fellow worker, someone who is on equal footing to him, rather than on Burns, who is economically & and powerfully 'superior' to him. It's the illusion of expecting fairness in a Capitalist society. It's the illusion of believing that those around you are the issue, a misled practice of not identifying the actual issue because you're not supposed to.

Whether you want to identify the issue or not, Homer being content is not a good thing. Grimes being ambitious is not a good thing. They are both two sides of an issue, a worker who won't bother to acknowledge his world & his exploited labor, and a worker who acknowledges it, but will expect that to push them above others. In Grimes, he is pushing that the way that the system functions should work, and is amazed at how it doesn't. In Homer, he sees nothing but his surface level, and doesn't see a system at all, or refuses to acknowledge one. In someone like Lisa, she would push that the system doesn't work (which would be irrefutable based on the standing of this episode). The system isn't meant to work, the laborer will always be exploited if he cannot identify the means in which the exploitation is taking place.

Gonna get off this video now, I didn't finish it because I feel like your account of this episode was incredibly mundane and uneducational.


People act as if the Simpsons was the first show to have a dysfunctional family. Does everyone just pretend that Married... with children never happened?

The Simpsons came out at a time where family sitcoms we're at its peak. The problem was that most of the families shown where safe and comfortable depiction of the upper middle class, basically what you expect from a loving christian family. When the Simpsons came out, they shattered everyone's expectations and shined a spotlight on every ugly wart that all other shows ignored. The Simpsons was counter culture, and as you expect pissed of a lot of people, specifically parental groups. But young adults and teens love them. For a better way to understand, watch the fall of the Simpsons by silvereyepatchwolf. He does a better job at explaining why the Simpsons were so popular back then. Tldr: The Simpsons weren't the first show to have a dysfunctional family, but were the first one to hit main stream and gain a large following.

Hey Emplemon, I've been recently rewatching a lot of your videos and I've really been inspired by your videos and your words on topics and how they may correlate to a certain aspect of something or why something is the way it is. I was just wondering if you went to a certain college or university and if so, what did you major in? Also, I know this is very farfetched but I'm currently working on a research paper, with the main topic of it being global issues, mine specifically being Political Corruption in the Middle East. I have had a hard time working on it and I was wondering if you could possibly critique it for me. I really want this to be a good paper because it will likely be the depending factor on whether I move to World History Honors or stay in the same class. Other than that I would just like to end this by saying I think your videos are phenomenal and I hope you keep creating the content you make.


Ive been through the list. What is the song when Generation X pops on the screen?


Where is Springfield? Well there's a lighthouse 2:29 and some ships on the water. So, it's definitely Linoma Beach in Nebraska. Springfield is part of Sarpy county, and so is Linoma Beach.


I think you've packed more education into the first 20 minutes of this video than some teachers do over an entire grade year. Bravo.


What is that painting of the man mowing the crops at 16:55?


Does anyone watch or know someone that watches the new episodes? Yeah, me neither


Frank Grimes is one of the most relatable characters to me.


VIDEO IDEA!  There will NEVER EVER be another superman like Christopher Reeve!!!


This man is being vsause with the music and transitions.


The way Never Ever gives way too much information in an hour and my brain doesn't hurt consuming it is what makes it good.


Mr. Burns was the real enemy in this episode, completely mischaracterized as an ambivalent third party that wasn't directly responsible for the woes of the workers he exploited to his own gain.


Disney: The graveyard for all things creative and unique.

@Pierce Martinez
It might work as a once-off, but we're not going to get another Endgame moment.

@borray s MCU is well on it's way to be dead with their thinking that they'll catch lightning in a bottle twice and make Z-listers like Shang Chi and the Eternals big names like they did with the Guardians of the Galaxy.

@borray s Don’t ask me.  I didn’t make that comment.  I’m just telling you what the graveyard metaphor implies.
I’m sure he didn’t mean that everything Disney has is dead and zombified.  Just a few certain examples like Simpsons and Star Wars as they’re only remembered for what they used to be and not for what they are now (Few exceptions for Star Wars)
MCU is still doing well earned victory laps of having Endgame become the highest grossing film of all time and still being the only ‘cinematic universe’ to actually make it to their big finale movie.  They’re keeping things fresh with WandaVision and their weird multiverse thing they’ll be doing in the next films.  I’d say they’re good at staying alive and fresh.

I would call it a retirement home.  Full of things that might as well be dead.

@borray s Graveyards are resting places for already dead things.  They are not the cause of death.

Simpsons died a long time ago. Even  before FOX was baught.

and yet once the birthplace for all things creative

I thought that was EA?
Maybe it was Google.
I forget...

@TVB i think a more accurate description would be that he's spinning at mach 10 inside his coffin

Let's be real, considering what's been happening with the company for a couple decades and so, Walt is whipping and nae-naeing in his grave.


laissez-faire...

It's not pronounced laccy -fair, but lay-say fair

mildly annoying


but WHY are they green now? you never concluded!!!!!!


i came here for the simpsons episode and got an analysis of americas worst time after the great depression. still enjoyed


Well yeah, Disney bought them. The simpsons is garbage now.


ok but you still didn't tell us why they're green


There’s a Springfield in Arizona too, but I didn’t see it on the list


The older I get, the more I love this show. Even now, when it may not be at its peak, I still love the show. This, was awesome!

@Carstuff111 "I care a out the characters" You just want to see them again, thats not caring.<br>They are no longer the same characters.

@Carstuff111 "I care a out the characters" You just want to see them again, thats not caring.
They are no longer the same characters.

@Majin Vegeta Ok, since you can't drop the subject, say hello to being blocked. You are wasting space in my email, bye bye kiddo

@Majin Vegeta You are still here talking? How old are you, 5, 10 years old? We get it, you don't like the show, I think the world at large can't care any less, please stop blowing up my feed.

@Carstuff111 <br>"you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"

@Carstuff111
"you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"

@Majin Vegeta Well, you can think what you want, but I do not blame the writers and the voice actors for sticking with a solid pay check, so, whatever. They still have some funny episodes, and I will continue watching when I get the chance. They will quit making it when they feel they have had their fill, and you can just get over it. You don't want to watch, cool, don't watch.

@Carstuff111 nah bro,idont like it because the show is trash compared to what it was in its prime..the quality has drastically dropped & u cant deny that.its just boring & lame ass hell 😞

@Majin Vegeta Because I care about the characters, what is so bad about that? Not to mention, there have still been good episodes even somewhat recently. I am not going to hate on the show like everyone else for being "sell outs".... sometimes, the only way to keep the lights on, its to do what has been done with the Simpsons. Yes, the actors and writers can find other avenues  of work I am sure, and have, but, this is a steady check. Do you quit a job with a steady check?

How can you enjoy a show that is nothing more than a corporate sell out when it used to be the opposite?😕


Grimes is Elon Musk and his Wife at the same time, gross


I hope I become as good as making videos as you one day


So weird that Fox used to be considered progressive.


A great video to introduce people to the notion that fairness and freedom cannot exist in tandem.

I would rather live in a free society than a "fair" one


I loved it when Frank Grimes died; a perfect end for a bitter creep and it's not as if I cried when the animators stopped animating him. ;)


Phil Hartman's death was a turning point for the series to me.

@Emmett McCleary unless you're not the one receiving it

@Jürgen Schneider Tascenion Except Jesus.  Happy Easter!

@Emmett McCleary "murder typically leads to death"  deep tbh

@Mister Musturd murder typically leads to death


This episode was just so mean-spirited.  I hated how all of Homer's attempts to be nice to Grimes somehow made Grimes hate Homer even more.  And somehow seeing all the amazing things Homer has accomplished has the same effect.  As a result of this, Grimes wasn't sympathetic at all.  On the contrary, he was all too easy to hate.

@internalhabaneros  no it doesn't.  It means I don't like jerks who constant reject someone's attempts to be friendly

This means you're privileged and never had to suffer in any way like Grimes.


being american means you live in america


I-It boggles the mind!<br>Ah, better not to think about it..

I-It boggles the mind!
Ah, better not to think about it..


The American revolution did not overthrow the British monarchy…. Wtf even is this claim


ok, i appreciate it more now, but i still loathed watching it.


Fluffy gave birth to fourteen beautiful bunnies. Eight survived.


I hated this episode, felt like a flanderized Homer had become a scapegoat rather than a character


Now everything on TV is cynical, and it sucks. ><


too bad they sold out to the corporate devil


5:10 that's actually a picture of Australia
That's a XB Ford Falcon behind the boys and an XC Ford Falcon up behind them along with a Mazda 808


I never knew that Matt based it off his family, thats really sweet. Their sorta immortalized now


The principle that hard work should create rewards doesn’t necessitate resenting someone who gets rewards for no hard work. That’s illogical. It just necessitates hating when hard work doesn’t create rewards.


Does anyone know the name of the BGM used around 7:00?


Just imagine the alternative universe where Frank Grimes didn't die in this episode and continue to appear during the zombie simpsons era.

Would have been healthy TBH, maybe wih a recurring enemy at work The Simpsons could have been more serialized thus being able to tell other stories or tell them differnetly, instead of flanderizing every character, developing them.


Hey wait a minute you really think equality is impossible? Are you trying to make Karl Marx cry!!!??? 😢

"But in a way, all of us live in Springfield"<br>Me, an European: Interesting

"But in a way, all of us live in Springfield"
Me, an European: Interesting

@Hunter Caper Ya know, come to think of it; thank you for asking such interesting question! I’ve never been asked anything like this line of inquiries before.

Are you from a multicultural country or speak multiple languages?

I primarily communicate in just two languages myself; Good English & bad; and while I don’t write in any other languages, I can speak very limitedly in Cree, Québécois French (a terribly bastardized version of Parisian French), in addition to Spanish & Japanese. (Spanish is dead easy & I watch enough anime that I’ve started to pick it up, better at understanding what’s being said than actually speaking it).

Work in telecommunications, so it’s handy to have alternate means of communication available when needed.

@Hunter Caper sorry, I was spelling it out phonetically (as opposed to using a dictionary pronunciation guide).

In fact, we would say, “Buddy over there is a European”; it’d be “Buddy is European”, or “Buddy is from Europe”. Make a bit more sense now?

@Loco Madman So the y in front of the word makes it so that it isn’t a vowel sound. You’d be right if it was “Ear-o-pean,” because it makes the first sound a vowel sound, but the same reason you say it is “A year” is the same reason you say it’s “A European.”

@Hunter Caper Nope, it comes out “your-O-P-Ann” in that backwoods of Saskatchewan, Canada. If you speak with the local “White” accent, anyway (which I do as I was raised largely off off the Indian Reservation I was born in).

True story: I’m the only native I know who can’t talk in an Indian accent. The difference between the two is as far as that between virtually any English anywhere and, say, Mandarin or Farsi. Less speaking, more... well, it’s almost like singing, actually.

@Loco Madman is european not pronounced “year-uh-pein” everywhere? google what I said. i’m correct everywhere. An is for vowel sounds, not just vowels in general

@Just Call Me Mr. Butterfingers The entire world is just one big atom.

@Hunter Caper Nah, man; it just that we still mostly use the Queen’s English over here in Canada, with come small exceptions.

For example; with use the American pronunciation of certain consonants & words like “H” (sounds like “‘Atch, not hAt’ch), and film (sounds like “film” as opposed to “fil’m”).

No real rhyme or reason as to who’s English we end up using across the board, but it’s still very much a unique hybrid of both North American & the Queen’s English).

*a European, you put the an before a vowel sound, not just a vowel.

I know, right? I’m Canadian.

But the thesis isn’t without some validity.

(I couldn’t say this if you were, say, North Korean; but things aren’t altogether different across the pond.)

Why are you missing the point on purpose?

The entire world is just one big donut-shaped springfield

You also live in Springfield. You're just deluded enough to think otherwise.


BRO HOW DID YOU GET EVERY FONT AND SONG PERFECTLY SIMILAR TO VSAUCE


What do people think they're entitled to? They think life is fair? And yet others also suffer without meaning, maybe how we view our struggles and make ourselves seem deserving is how we cope.

Personally, I cope by doing something to help others. If life is worth living, maybe it is worth giving.

Don't you want to make people happy? Homer is helpless too. He wants the best for Lisa. But he is limited in what he can do for her, same as you are limited in what you can do for you.


Bullshit. Clearly the best Simpsons episode is 'E I E I (Annoyed Grunt).


That scene of Milton not getting a piece of cake stills upsets me on a fundamental level to this day

He warned everyone, he was going to burn the mo’fo to the ground; but did anyone listen? Noooo...! 😂


I randomly throughout this video, though I left Gran Turismo running in the backgound lol.


I F   Y O U  have to explain your jokes,.... you know the rest


"YOU? Went into outer space? YOU?"<br>"Sure! You've never been?"

"YOU? Went into outer space? YOU?"
"Sure! You've never been?"


I disagree that it's sad to see new episodes, even with the decline still better than 90% of TV


18:20 good summary of why I don't like the usa


There will Never Ever be another "Sam Hyde" when?


There will never ever be another band like tally hall?


It's not pronounced gray-ning

It's pronounced groah-ning


This is so well done. My son, Jimmy, received his PHD with multi-references to the Simpsons in his dissertation. This presentation illustrates your points: The Simpsons IS America. The Simpsons ARE America. The Simpsons is US.


The Gran Turismo music in the background is making my autism light up


Spoilers ive never seen this episode what are you doin!?


This is probably the only video I’ve seen to take a whack at modern day philosophical problems and Homer Simpson at the same time. Boy does it do a good job


I HATE HOMER'S ENEMY BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER CUZ I'M HOMER SIMPSON

note i don't actually hate this episode


14:34 I know that music from a video game.

WHICH GAME IS IT? SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME. I CAN'T REST UNTIL I KNOW WHERE I KNOW THAT MUSIC FROM


A memorable and divisive episode.

As sad of a life Grimey had, he was pretty hard towards Homer even if the latter was an owner of the Broncos when they finally won it all.


Words like “high concept” and “meta” are so overused their very definitions become skewed. Critiques or critics use terms such as “many people” or “most of us” to justify their own opinions, and become their own antagonist.


Can someone tell me what the hell is the song that plays when the gen x segment comes up?


Love the video, comrade! Catch you in the Soviet for roulette!


I’m convinced emplemon can write a collegiate essay in his sleep.


Can someone explain the pop culture reference, bottom right @11:27


I cried so badly with the "Do it for her" sign homer made with her pictures.


I don't think you're using "high concept" properly


wait..... how many videos? im colorblind, and literally cant see the change in hue, so now I'm wondering how many times I've seen green simpsons and thought they were yellow. 0.o


It’s funny that you mention Banksy because within the Graffiti world he is now seen as everything that graffiti writers/artists work against

@TestName #3343 truth is, even if the art piece was destroyed, the statement they made "we just witnessed art being made" would still hold water and it would still sell at a higher price and it would have still made banksy sad

@Matt J Too bad it failed to do as it was supposed to and failed to fully destroy the artwork, made sure it was auctioned off at an even higher price. Which kinda backfired on what he was trying to do.

That thing where he shredded a piece of his art as it was being auctioned off was pretty cool.

Banksy is the Simpsons of street art. Used to be subversive, now he desperately tries to be.

The people have changed by glorifying him...and skirt blame and responsibility for corrupting him. So they blame him...


5:10
Are you talking about Gen X or Zoomers?


I ALREADY WATCHED THE VIDEO CAN YOUTUBE STOP RECOMMENDING IT TO ME ALREADY


Yes Homer is lazy, gluttonous and stupid, but he has alot redeeming qualities that imo outshine his short comings.  He's taken on multiple second jobs to support his family, or in some cases just give them a better Christmas, he sacrificed his dream job at the bowlarama to go back to that soul killing power plant for Maggie, he organized an effort to rebuild the Flanders house after it was destroyed, and when he sets his mind to something (whether it's getting fat enough for disability or becoming Mr. Plow) he gets it done.  This is a man who is just doing the best he can to enjoy life while also supporting his wife and kids.  We could use alot more fathers like Homer in America.


I hate Homer in later seasons (after season 6??) I can't be the only one. He becomes stupid and annoying. Especially in the Simpsons movie.


I never expected Youtubers to create eye-opening documentaries like this

Eye-opening is in the eye of the beholder.. This read like an Op-Dd Opinion piece half-way in.


what do you call this type of analysis of a show?


I like the gran turismo music in the background.


I think I have the next contender on never ever: naim süleymanoglu


Okay, you just gave away your running gag!!! I still don't get the green tint? Like when we had a tint adjustment on CRT tvs back when the Simpsons was first aired? Or what?


4:40 I like how he zoomed in on Bill Cosby's face as he said "responsible and virtuous role models" lmao


Does anyone know which song plays from 14 minutes in?


Using Mario Odyssey music for background is so weird


i wanna a see a never wever episode about wayne gretzky


The actual origin of Frank Grimes is a send up of DFens from Falling Down. He even looks like him.

Granted, he's supposed to be representative of the common man.

@Andrew Elkin Which I believe was Kirk Douglass' favorite role that he's seen his son in.

Oh yeah! William "DFens" Foster played by Michael Douglass

I thought I was the only one who thought of the resemblance.


Unfortunately i have never been to the US so i am not in springfield

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


I legitimately thought the color-shifting was to keep Content ID off your ass.

It is both. The content ID bot, just like your own preconceptions of what the Simpsons are "supposed to" look like, recognizes them as "being yellow". By shifting them tl green, it is no longer recognizable to the bot, and in a similar way, to the viewer.

it's for keeping the king of England off your back

Didn't Emp literally state that was the reason in a previous vid? I could have sworn I heard that.

I have a same thought as you did Jordan.

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

this wasn't as big an issue back when Emp first started doing this


Hey @EmpLeon, honest question: Why do you sound like you look like LeafyIsHere?


Jesus. I lasted all of 15 seconds. That's all I could take of this inane drivel. GET TO THE POINT. SPoiler alert, I don't think he ever does.


anyone else hear mario 64 music around the 14:00 mark?


Because this episode sucked and was the final nail in the coffin of the show's quality....?


Lost it when you revealed in epilogue that you're still doing that vsauce gag.


6:06 I love how badly this aged. FOX is now the very thing it swore to destroy.


Springfield is next to maine AND kentucky, so its probably in wyoming


I can relate to Mr Grimes and I don't like it


Do you think entirely in journalistic cliches?


Maybe more about the show and less about a country


What a joke.
The simple fact is this. When the other guys slacks off and is lazy. then somebody else has to work harder.
Unless the boss does somthing about it.
Which  most often does not happen.

Its not complicated.
The honest worker most often gets treated wrong.


Wait I live in Springfield America? But I'm Australian


To the people of Springfield, Homer is Azathoth, and they care not.

I mean I can’t say anything but this is too true


The music gives me flashbacks of T.f<br>2


do a video on the world's secret religion


My father feels rampant hate for this show as it is, and this here is the main proof that I should show this episode to him. This is an episode for, among others, people who already hated Homer. What will it mean to watch the character representing you as an audience die such a stupid death?


Yo why tf was Rusty Cage at the end? Like outta left field. Not complaining though lol


your oppinion on "a star is burns" episode?


22:39 is this who spamton g spamton is based off


Hey, Michael Vsauce here. How fast can you run?


Can someone please tell me what the music is from around the 7:00 to the 8:00 mark? It's on the tip of my tongue.


Who elso noticed that he used the snipers theme?


what is the music you use in the segment a young cartoonist


Problem with taking the cynicism of the episode on board: Homer lives an existence protected from long term consequences.


Never seen this channel but after that intro I'm not longer interested


Is that how americans pronounce Laisser-faire?


i dint know gen x was depressing wondering why gen z pick up from i am gen z.


My copy of simpsons hit and run was corrupted and it made all the simpsons green


Hey Emplemon Can you tell me what Video is when kid is shaking his head crazy like Mack what is it called

Muscle Man Osmosis Jones Dougal THX.Tex.Offical


Bart: "But we're just like the Waltons, we pray for the depression to end too!"

SICK. BURN. Has Bush ever been dunked on harder than this?

Super Mario 64 - Bowser's Road


God, Frank has expressed how I've felt all my life.

Hard work does pay off. But it may not pay off as well as others. As long as you are proud of your success you'll do fine.

I think there are a few of us that feel like Frank Grimes, but I feel the takeaway is that we need to focus solely on self success and not compare our circumstances to and belittle others for their success. Otherwise anyone with success of any amount will have a horde of their own Grimeys griping about how that person doesn't deserve it and they do (regardless of merit), and it all degenerates into Crab Bucket mentality.


That *laissez-faire* was very *lasé-faieuw*


The way you pronounce Laissez-faire hurts my soul


when you can, you should prevent unfairness. When it's out of your control, be like homer. Two attitudes for two different types of situations, both are important


The American dream is kicking out everyone who isn't American


I am not worried about how others make it to the top but how I may -Me


"springsfield home location will always remain a engima." Its been said many times by the creators its the most common city name and its still a made up city. Now im skeptical if any other info you provide is true or journalistic bullshit.

@niteowl Its ok if what I said, although extraordinarily simple, confused you. This man is trying to make sense of "Springfield" The name of the cartoon, as they named the city that. The creators said the city has nothing to do with anything as its just a made-up city, they picked Springfield as its the most common city name in America. It has nothing to do with anything special. it was not a creative decision, it was as basic of a decision as adding lettuce to a sandwich.


"responsible, virtuous role models"
zooms on Pill Cosby

"responsible, virtuous role models"
*zooms on Pill Cosby*

@CitrusOrange What did Pill do to be more evil than Bill?

Nobody knew about that back when the Simpsons hit the air, everyone knew him for the Cosby Show & telling other black comedians not to "work blue" as he put it, in retrospect we should have seen it coming, like with Ted Bundy writing rape prevention guides in Seattle or John Wayne Gacy being a clown at childrens' parties, or James Joseph D'Angelo being a cop.

Put the <b>pills</b> in her drink, Cosby....


Why is it pronounced "Greyning" instead of "Growning"?

@Robin Chesterfield didn't know that, learned something new today 👍

It's a Dutch name, with different rules from English.  Another example I know is the actor who plays Chekov from "Star Trek", Walter Koenig--which is pronounced "KAYnig".


was.....was that "Aqua TV show show" at the end"???


EmpLemon has been showing his real life self a lot more in recent videos. Remember back when he was more anonymous?


Music at 33:33 is from a game... Gran Turismo? Idr where I heard this song from lol.


Great video. The first 14 minutes are filler and can be skipped with no consequences for the rest of the video.


I grew up watching the simpsons and have always known that seasons 4-8 were the truly best episodes of the series, there are so many layers and truths packed in there.

This was a brilliant analysis, Homer always was the more sympathetic character to me for the reasons you outlined here, he represents the enlightened man in modern America.


did I hear gran turismo 4 music in the background?


Predicted Trump<br>Yet that budget comment in retrospect lol you win some you lose some

Predicted Trump
Yet that budget comment in retrospect lol you win some you lose some


as a zoomer who grew up on adult cartoons and youtube videos, its hard to imagine the simpsons being hip, avant-garde, and edgy.


In rewatching this video (16:40) I noticed you totally forgot about the part where America was founded on a desire for religious freedom. That, I believe, has always been a driving factor in American pursuits, either ignoring religion or embracing it.


Excellent analysis.  I’ve thought for some time that season 8 was pound for pound the best season of the show, but also the last “good” one.  Season 9 had some highlights, but basically the magic was gone forever.  RIP Frank G.


Great essay. I Never thought this deep about the Simpsons before.


Be more like Homer, be more like his enemy, just don't tip the scales. Changing our world for the better requires a grip on reality.


Wow man. You made me think deeper than I would ever anticipate for a Simpson's episode. One of the best videos I've seen on youtube.


you know this videos alot better than I thoght it was gonna be
-sometimes whats better than rebelling against the systom is exploiting the systom
I think thats really insiteful in some ways


While I may have been born in 2005, I did still manage to watch all 8 seasons of the Simpsons as an 10 or 11 year old, I think? Thanks to my family always watching it on TV and me watching for myself at times... So yeah... I was a little late to the party but, I’m still glad I experienced it nevertheless!


Holy fuck dude, this was incredible. Not only an incredible analysis of an episode I love of a show I love, but I think you genuinely gave me some sage advice. I feel I gained perspective from this. Just wanted to say thanks, this was a great experience for me.


Mission Hill is actually a pretty good show.

People now argue that it was ahead of its time, hence why it didn’t survive.
Also it was on a network that didn’t cater to the series’ demographic


This one and the one where Homer leads the strike are the two best episodes regarding class consciousness. IMO "So we march day and night by the big cooling tower. They have the plans but we have the power!"   So good!    South Park's 2 part amazon episodes "unfulfilled" Are also REALLY great.


I appreciate this content, thank you for sharing.<br>I kinda missed the whole Simpsons thing, it was the 90s and I had better things to do than watch television. Now, it's the 20s and it's too late for hair loss prevention.

I work myself to exhaustion every day. I save most of the money I make with no real plan to spend it and I feel like I have nothing. When I was a kid I enjoyed this episode but I had no idea that I would become Frank Grimes. I had two months off at the beginning of the pandemic when I was the most stressed out ive ever been and it absolutely saved me from having a mental breakdown like the end of the episode.


First video I have watched by @EmpLemon. Found it very entertaining and informative. That is why I subscribed. Good content.


I like how the way you described gen x was literally the way this generation is working our right now.


Just found your channel and specially this video. It's 4am here and I'm literally having the best moment of the day, your video is perfect, please continue! Love from France :)


Just awesome!! loved it.. true quality material my good sir


Man.. it's time. I need to go and watch the early Simpsons. If I only I could have tuned in during its prime..


It's difficult to analyze this episode dispassionately now...But I remember watching this (Simpsons was my favorite show) and hating this episode at the time. I utterly despised it and I stopped watching the show regularly. To me this is the point when Homer became a complete idiotic cartoon joke, rather than a flawed character. So this to me is as bad as the Skinner episode for the ruination of the show.


I’ve never even watch The Simpsons but I feel much smarter now


You should do a Never Ever on Neil Peart, the drummer for Rush, who passed away a year ago.


"had to enter hell"
>Los Angeles

Yeah...yeah you're not wrong.


Grimes is a hateful and evil character that got exactly what he deserved, I will never understand any sympathy towards that dweeb.


I would like to be Grimes,but everyday i turn more and more into Homer


The covid pandemic was like seeing an army of homer's enemies suddenly struck with the realization that without work there is no need to be who they are and thus they are slaves pretending to be free in a society where you can just counterfeit money and do absolutely nothing without any repercussion aside from dying... which happens anyway so it might as well be from excess.


i could have done without the first 15 minutes of this video, although i think it was very well done.


i love TheRealJims, cool of you to collab with a smaller channel like that

That One Guy From Teen Titans Who is Really Robin


The first few seasons of the Simpsons were so good they were actual stories that made you care about the characters now the show is nonsense and it's time to end it


I used to completely feel for Grimes… I used to be him. And assumed others judged me that way as well…. Then I learned my flaw. And I’m so much more happy now!!!!! Don’t blame the people, blame the system. Also you have no idea what goes on in their life, and no one cares about you. It’s free-ing :). <br>The book “subtle art of not giving a fukk” really changed my demeanor.

Isn’t what happened to Generation X (as per your description) literally what’s happening to our current generation?...


Great job. Always liked this episode and found it very conclusive, and now I have words as to why.


I stg when I was a kid my dad said that the Simpsons were actually green and our TV was messed up. It took me a bit to realize lmao


The simpsons had like 3 good seasons and somehow that’s justification for dragging it out for 30 years


This is how I felt about my brother for years until now, this account opened my eyes to my own faults. I live in a Prius going on five years now. It’s my own flaws not my brother getting treated better than me growing up. It doesn’t mean it still don’t hurt but I need to be more in love with myself and stop hating my brother and people like him. He didn’t put me here, I did. No wonder why I cry when watching “Better Call Saul” he has the same relationship with his brother. In a way we all have a bit of Frank Grimes in all of us.

I wouldn't be too hard on myself. It is hard to be productive without taking personal responsibility but at the same time we are kites in a hurricane with a myriad of factors creating what we become. It is unlikely you could've become anything different with the circumstances you had to endure and everything happens via cause and effect.

Also the overall theme of Better Call Saul is how the privileged and white collar class tend to dominate in a stable society due to the nature of society and people on lower rungs of the ladder are extremely disadvantaged (all while being morally judged by the upper class) to the point where an ambitious and prideful man may feel compelled to engage in criminal activity to satisfy his self-esteem.


sooooo what i'm gathering from this is that homer is right to be lazy (in a sense) because the world doesn't simply reward hard work, and thus his effort would be wasted for nothing...and that Grimes represents the ideal in case the world DID reward hard work, so his bitterness comes from optimism/trust in the system to reward his effort + the incongruency that belief has with reality.

in other words: "you tried your best and you failed miserably. the lesson is, never try."


18:12 If you know the context, the picture used for Lust actually corresponds to Gluttony lol


What should Frank Grimes have done? I think I'm like him.

Instead of hating homer he should’ve hated his unfair employer


15:13 A fan of Weatherscan music I see. Truly a man of culture.


"In a way all of us live in Springfield"<br>Me, an European: no, no i don't think I do.

The clip of the simpsons as Minions actually shook me to my core. What the actual fuck 😂


Yikes this episode was about 10-15 minutes longer than it needed to be, but got away with it because Frank Grimes...


as someone who is colour blind, i never noticed a difference in the colour until you pointed it out


Who else wants "there will Never Ever be another animated film like WALL-E"?


"He had to enter hell, Los Angeles"<br>This quote couldn't be closer to the truth, I hope that silicone city breaks apart from the mainland and floats away into the great pacific garbage patch

Homer and Marge Groening that is the most Dutch surname I have ever seen in my life lol.


When the BitFS music started I swear you started to sound just like Pannenkoek


5:16 is sounding a bit like the experience of Millennials right about now...


Probably stating the obvious, but Grimes is basically the main character from the movie Falling Down, only perhaps a lot less extreme.


emplemon: "
witnessed the mighty and unbeatable us military get humiliated through a fiasco in some part of the world most of them couldn't even find on a map"<br>me: bro, it happened last week.. and it's still happening now!! lol

But first, he had to go to hell. Cut to LA. Never gets old or any less accurate

"you either die a legend, Or you live long enough to become the villian"

You know society has fallen when the most profound voice on YouTube is a former YouTube pooper


that simpsons hit and run song just 'hits' ;)


This is the episode that killed Simpsons for me.


In one episode they moved the town 2 miles so I think the town moved around the US


32:55 This music is either from Gran Turismo 4 or 5, I can't remember which. Also, fantastic video, thank you!


5:00 - 6:20    This segment didn't age well


i remember buying the simpsons sing the blues cassette tape to put in my walkman.

those days tv was so boring, having a show like the simpsons on tv was just awesome. and you had to be home on time lol .


The Simpsons' fame got buried along with Frank Grimes.


I don’t know why but this episode stuck with me


This is probably the best and also worst to conclude this.

Collectivism vs Laissez Faire. One is too focused on "equality" and one is too focused on "liberty"


That intro section is some old school style Vsauce, reminds of me 2013 Vsauce.


at a point early in the video you referred to the Simpsons as one of the longest running sit-coms in America.  This is not accurate.  The Simpsons are the longest running sit-com in the world.  Look it up.


I hear that Phantasy Star Online music in there...you can't hide it from me EmpLemon!^^


i think the change came when Homer got squashed by the vending machine


there will Never Ever be another Simpsons episode like E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt) (formerly Homer’s Enemy)


Season 1 is down to earth? In the first season there was an episode with an evil babysitter, bart getting sent to France and being forced to work as a child slave and the first Sideshow Bob episode.


Strong VSauce vibes at the start. Awesome Video!


Why did I just watch a 41 minutes essay on the Simpsons ?


MDE was the simpsons of this generation but it was killed off before it could leave its golden age


I’m not even going to lie I’m a Homer and I’m a woman I coast through life and have a pretty good life


So what this episode is saying is

Just live with little to no care in the world?


2:53 Wow, I think that you mean all you americans live in Springfield


Responsible and virtuous role models hahahah


I honestly just thought you made The Simpsons green to avoid copyright


The use of Steam Gardens ost gets a sub from me lol


The simpsons destroyed everything they had. thats a fact


but i thought alcohol was the cause of and solution to all of lifes problems, not capitalism


32:47 Where can I find this chart online?


How is nobody commenting on the beautiful VSauce impression at the beginning?


OMG is the first time i heard someone using a soft machine song on any video, kudos


Grimes looks like the D-fens guy from Falling Down.


Want to see a real life Homer<br>watch Bad Chad ,i would die if he said  Doh

Want to see a real life Homer
watch Bad Chad ,i would die if he said  Doh


Not sure why I keep getting videos recommending simpsons content, since I have never liked the simpsons from the very beginning, and I was there when it first started.

Weird thing is...while I hated the simpsons, I loved futurama. Probably because the Voice actors in Futurama were less annoying. To this day. both bart and marge's voices annoy me so much that I can't sit through a single episode they appear in.


I like how you use grand turismo music I just love it


Really liked the aqua teen hunger force outro music. very nice


what is the tool used for the ratings' graph @ 1:11 ?


Sometimes I feel that’s my life, work so hard at every thing but nothing. For example I’ve been working for 3 years on my channel but nothing. Of course what the hell am I gonna do? It is what it is.


Damn remember when the fox network was the edgy one? And not conservative?

Damn thats like. Pretty funny considering what it is now.


"difinitively" while being like 0.02 above second place.


grimes reminds me the movie, falling down.


Simpsons basically became trash after season 10


What a trip. You got almost 2.5 million views but less than 120K Likes and less than 9K comments. I think it might be because you didn't offer enough light at the end of the tunnel. Life is unfair as S; but it is how we handle it that defines us. We should be concerned with everything; but to worry about anything that's not directly under our control is just a waste of time.


How do you make a 40 minute video about a 20 minute show


i feel like that little schpiel about america was missing some pretty important information.... like the genocide lol


hes the guy from the movie "falling down" with michael douglas


Jokes on you, I don't live in Springfield, or in America


ha, I thought he was supposed to look like D-Fens!


Bruh why tf Matt Groening's grand parents name their kids after the simpsons???


LOL, like almost looks like the Angry Video Game Nerd!


lol "inequality always manages to slip through the cracks" then you show a diagram of SAT scores by race with blacks and hispanics  consistently scoring the lowest...you call that inequality? that's genetics my friend


that jims part was by far the worst. he's just rambling about nonsense that doesn't have to to with anything.


Youtube: 41min analysis of a cartoon and its cultural impact<br>Me: Hehe funny cartoon

weird this video is longer than the actual episode.


Music used in this video? Really great video but I'd love to know.


so basically bert kreischer is homer simpson


Doctor Spiral: he may not be the best doctor around, but at least he'll make you an appointment during the pandemic


"Homer proves to be kind and forgiving"

Is that what you call the man who strangles his son every episode?

@Andrew Smith if you are trying to apply real world morality to a fictional character you have to take their actions through said real world morality. Look, none of the characters in the Simpsons would be good people in real life. Period. That’s okay, they aren’t meant to be, and they are cartoons. My point is that you cannot make the argument that Homer is good person objectively ESPECIALLY after all the Flanderization he’s went through. I specifically stated this and so did other that we are taking in real world standards because OP gave off the impression that the standards he’s judging Homer in and the video is also using real world events, social norms, etc, to analysis a cartoon show. The truth is you cannot automatically write off real world standards because the Simpson is not sterilized. It doesn’t have a coherent world and rules. If we judged the show by it’s inconsistent morality everyone would just like a saint because you could make excuses for everyone for being confusing and incoherent. Anyways…The word of the day is: COMPREHENSION. Dude it was never that serious to begin so please let it go.

@Paris Knight Why are we applying real-life standards to violence that isn't intended to be realistic in any way? In a conversation that never brought up real-life violence? By that logic Bart is an abuser for attacking his sister unprovoked and electrocuting her just for a laugh in season 1.

@Paris Knight  None of the simpsons family members are good people if we apply real life standards to them. Any violence the family inflicts on each other is presented as cartoony and lacking in any kind of realism or sense of consequence. Every member of the family inflicts damage on each other as early as the 4th episode. Homer's actual character is presented as a well-meaning family man who wants to do what's right for his children who's no more of a monster than anyone else in the family.

@Thomas Lynch that doesn’t disproves what I said. He still abuses Bart. It doesn’t matter if others do. And blaming him for his own abuse is victim blaming. I know it’s not real but regardless Homer is an abuser if we go by canon. Bart is a victim and troubled child. No need to debate canon. The whole point here is that Homer isn’t a good person by hypotheticals. He just isn’t. That doesn’t mean you can’t like him as a character or relate to him it just means he is not a good person at all by real life standards.

@Vallam23 Originally Homer comes off as a flawed but well meaning family man. Once the writers start having him try to blow up his family over an area code changing he just becomes a cartoon.

@Paris Knight Everyone abuses Bart. He just brings out the worst in people.

@Asmosis Jones he literally abused his child

its a cartoon joke and never actually hurts bart in any way

@Asmosis Jones That's because Homer has that crayon embedded inside his brain. See how miserable he became once he had the crayon removed from his brain?

Well, he tried being forgiving with Grimey, despite him declaring being his enemy to his face

there's a whole other video essay that could be written about the difference between how the writers intended to portray homer, how their social blind spots and changing culture cause him to not actually come across as intended, and how both those things change over the course of the series

...well he never did it to kill him only as a visual representation of his frustration from a child that refused to listen and actively tried to create mayhem.

imagine having Bart as your son, come on dude

Old comparative Homer frequently did, newer blissful Homer not so much

im homer simpson

chhh....you wish

i love how blissful homer is...hes not perfect his life sucks but he still puts his life in high value despite his downs...hes like yeah right you wish your life was as great as mine..he cherishes the small moments and things he does have...he is a happy fish in a small pond...he does not need more to be happy...


"Responsible and virtuous role models."

Alright, to be fair, he fit that description at the time.

here's an example of over analyzation. "why do we like homer?" no need for all that - he represents us all - stuff. we like homer because he's written as a comedic character. HE'S FUNNY! his dialogue is a series of dimwitted and observationally perceptive one liners placed into different contexts, references and plots.

          he's also written as a sympathetic character. things ALWAYS go wrong for homer. but he usually ends up back on his feet anyway, right where he started all along. the "enemy" episode was more of an antithesis to this sympathetic driven character. so, no need to over analyze the simpsons. the show is liked because its funny, fast moving, creative and unpredictable.

          AND, thanks to the Lisa character, the show offers an intellectual side. its perceptively critical of society. and perhaps this is where people see themselves. personally, i relate to Lisa more than any other character. she's the smartest, most aware and perceptive, most underappreciated and most misunderstood member of the cast. i can relate to that.

         so the mystery of why people like the simpson's has been solved. just set back, enjoy the damned show and try to learn something from it. its as simple as that.

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

The fact that he “fit that description at the time” is exactly the reason he was able to get away with being a monster.

@TheSergeantatarms Yeah he had people accusing him of various shit for years, the main reason why nobody knew about all of it was that he was such a powerful and beloved person in Hollywood for a while. It really wasn't until Hannibal Buress did that one stand-up routine about him that people really started paying attention (yes, really. Look it up).

As far as people knew. Accusations against him go to behaviour quite a while back. The earliest accusation regards things that happened in 1965.

Blah Blah Blah Live long enough to become a villain or whatever.


i didn't pay attention because of the jazzfunk you had playing hahahaha


There will never ever be a better Simpsons joke like Sneed's Feed and Seed (formerly Chuck's)


I’m rewatching this episode right now and I can notice something about meritocracy.

First of all, Burns gets inspired by Grimes’ life story, asks Smithers to hire him and then forgets about him and hires a dog as his Vice President. I’ve heard these stories countless times.

Second, Grimes is alienated by meritocracy. He thinks that because he has a degree and he works his ass off, that means capitalism should treat him with fairness. Let’s make it clear: meritocracy doesn’t exist. You depend mostly on luck. That’s what Homer has: he doesn’t know anything about Nuclear Power Plants, nor the economy, he doesn’t even know how he got that big house in the first place. That’s all luck. Homer isn’t aware of that, but some rich people will always try to alienate us into thinking that if we work hard, we’ll be as rich as they are. No, you won’t become Elon Musk by studying hard.

Great analysis, great video btw!

And Bart says “finally my hard work paid off” when he purchases his factory. He’s 10 years old, he’s not even a grade A student 🤣, which hard work?


I don't remember how i got recommended to your channel, but since i did i've watched the last 2 years worth of content you've made in full, keep it up, this series in particular is a major banger


is that the starcraft sound track in the back at 14:40?


"Springfield isn't in America so much as America is in Springfield."


I don’t care a damn about the vid I AM HERE FOR THE GODDAMN GRAN TURISMO MUSIC AND VSAUCE MUSIC


You have to have a very high IQ in order to understand “Homers Enemy”


If I told my friends that these videos were philosophical, odds are that they wouldn't believe me, and wouldn't watch the video. How could a YouTube video about an episode of the Simpsons affect you in any way? Honestly I have no idea, but here I am, watching these videos that somehow always gets me thinking about deep stuff. I'm glad I watched it to the end as always. This content is amazing, everyone needs to see it, but I guess we will just have to wait for everyone else discover this for themselves...

@SiMe Well that's the beginning bro. The video can help everyone, so go for it!

@Comrade Joseph Stalin of the USSR then my comment was on point. Thanks for making it clear. Although, perhaps I used the word "implore" incorrectly here. I'll say "strongly suggest" instead. I never said you have to do anything and I didn't have to make my comment either. I simply chose to do so as have you. I agree that we don't need to agree on opinions. I was simply addressing your comment since it seemed like it wasn't just an opinion but more of a statement of fact (which is impossible to conclude without setting a standard and including everybody else in it). That's why I'd suggest you use different phrasing to make it clearer that it is indeed just your opinion (there are subtle ways to do without using "in my opinion" after everyy sentence).

I just presented the case for my suggestion to you. That's all. And I usually write longer comments. That's how I am. If someone chooses to not read it because it's long, is fair enough. I don't expect many people to read my comments. But some do and that's good enough for me.

You don't need to do anything nor do you have to care about what others have to say. I simply expressed myself, as have you.

@BallisticaMetal I can't because I won't be understood because it requires explaining the entire epistemological premise behind it first. The popular definition is flawed in most of its applications but most people kind of understand the point so I saw it as a preferable way to communicate my message here. I thought to maybe make a video about it since that way it could possibly be easier to understand with some visual aid. It's a complex topic, so trying to explain it in the middle of a comment would be unreasonable imo

@exhoost fume and @BallisticaMetal<br>Thanks fellas.

@exhoost fume and @BallisticaMetal
Thanks fellas.

@SiMe<br>Really? You don't have to agree with my opinion or write a wall of text as to why i'm wrong. I don't have to word anything to sound "less objective" and I don't need you to implore me to do so. I don't care about your opinion and you needn't care about mine. That being said, Dunkey and Emp are the best youtubers and I mean that as objectively as possible.

@SiMe  "(I dislike the way the word 'objectively' is popularly used so I prefer to avoid it as much as possible)"  then used it correctly and be the example to follow, so others can "copy" you and use it correctly, stop being a snob.

@Comrade Joseph Stalin of the USSR
1) You haven't watched all the YouTubers on the platform, thus you cannot conclusively state that (not to mention that many channels and content do not exist anymore).
2) What you come to YouTube for is not what others come for. Some people love the disposable everyday content that comes out of certain channels. You cannot say they are better or worse in a general sense.

Some people prefer science channels. Some prefer make-up tutorials. Some prefer vlogs and pranks. Some prefer podcasts. Some prefer animations. And some simply enjoy whatever they happen to enjoy at one point or another without a clear unified genre, tone or make.

I agree that Emp and Dunkey are extremely rewatchable as I have personally spent hundreds of hours consuming their content. I don't think they are the best. They are fantastic but the title of "the best" is impossible to determine in a general sense because context influences their "rank". You cannot define a YouTube video on a ranked ladder because the definition is worthless for that.

In case you simply made a personal comment of your preferences, then this entire comment can be ignored. But I would implore you use language that communicates that it is indeed coming from your perspective and does not necessarily apply to everyone or what many would call "objectively" (I dislike the way the word 'objectively' is popularly used so I prefer to avoid it as much as possible). I cannot discern from your comment the state of the address - personal or general - and thus I responded in the case of the latter.

Side note:
I think many of Emps videos have flaws including this one but they are still extremely well made and have mostly very interesting ideas and messages. As much as I like his content, I think there are far better channels on the platform if you filter out a lot of their content. Their best outshines Emp's best by a lot.

And oh boy was this particular video a MASTERPIECE in a long line or perfection from Emp.

Emp and videogamedunkey are the best youtubers, not only currently, but of all time. I think the reason for this comes down to one simple thing: passion. They seem passionate about making highly rewatchable and well thought out videos that are unlike most. I used to see so many channels  pump out a video a day with the same exact format as the last video and it becomes not only repetitive, but increasingly more boring.<br>When I watch a YouTube video, I want to watch something enjoyable, well made, cohesive, rewatchable, and not exactly like the video before it and I think Emporer Lemon and Videogamedunkey are the greatest examples of that ever.

The Simpsons - When the Series that challenged the system, becomes the system

Sounds like that Black Mirror episode, which is pretty accurate in this scenario tbh.


Saw this episode as a kid and the only person I could compare Grimes to was D.Fense from ‘Falling Down’.

Today I look at Grimes and I see I’m looking into a mirror.

@three three three incredible response , 10/10.

pika:
Can confirm that it was funny.

🍁 💨

@Gamerappa yeah, i kinda feel bad puppeteering this guy's body to take a bong hit with my psychic powers. it's funny though

@three three three >forces a guy to take drugs


No, they will all be titled something else obviously


i think seasons 3-10 are the golden age, not 1-7


I felt that Don Hertzfeldt's couch gag was way more brutal in it's take on The Simpsons than Banksy's

His take on everything is more brutal than anyone else's


the next one better be “there will never ever be another Simpsons joke like Sneeds.”

outside of this I want him to talk about Ovechkin. because there will never ever be another hockey player like Ovechkin.

Based and sneedpilled. He better make a video tackling the philosophical masterpiece that was that throwaway joke.


You know, the episode where Grime's son tried to kill homer for revenge literally left me dumbfounded like....its too hard to believe that Grimes could been older like flanders is and have an adult son, so i always though. <b>How come Grime's Son grows up but the simpsons stay the same and don't age!?</b>

Well the joke can be that the realistic person has to age while the cartoony ones don’t.


"But before he could do that, he had to enter Hell."

@Arrenjee  look at the politicians, policies and income inequality in the south. That's what's bad about it. We legit had to have an whole ass civil rights movement to end segregation there lol

@Marcos Cárdenas Thats extremley hard to believe after everything he has said over the last 6 years but good for him I guess?

@Yoy Hue I am asexual, I litearlly dont have any desire for sex. Do you have anything else besides an empty insult?

@atur chomicz Youre an enemy of your chances of getting laid

@Marcos Cárdenas hey don’t talk about Alabama like that lel

@Scientist Walter No hes sadly not a Leftist and therefore an Enemy of the Working Class, why should I trust him?

EMP is based, he just shows little hints of the red pills

He'd already been to Evergreen States College.

@Marcos Cárdenas you have to go back, pedro!

@Marcos Cárdenas just look up "sarcasm" and see what I'm talking about.

@Marcos Cárdenas I thought areas with mostly white people were supposed to be rich because of their privilege??? 🤔

@Marcos Cárdenas you're saying it like it's a good thing! Sad!

@Marcos Cárdenas i know...? that's why i said that.


I been the Frank Grimes character at the job twice before. I been passed over for promotion and had to take orders from those who are incompetent whom you either humble yourself to get along with or start butting heads with them. Then they try to treat you like some pee-on by putting you on trivial job assignments jusr to show you whose in charge.<br>But, the truth is nobody rewards hard workers and good workers aren't missed until the company is stuck with a bunch of incompetent workers who can't even carry your work load nor do it as fast and efficient as you can.

@Hayden Freeman Incredibly based and Co-op pilled👍🏻

@atur chomicz that’s very true I worked in a very understaffed warehouse and all 3 of us quit when they didn’t want to negotiate and my bosses called me and begged to come back the next day and we all went out for drinks and laughed at how none of the trucks would leave that day

@Johny No Way Ah! <br>I see you are a man of culture :)

@Johny No Way Ah!
I see you are a man of culture :)

@cellP8 the only thing i fill it with is offline gaming lol. Thats kinda it.

@Johny No Way dang! That sux, hopefully you will find something to fill in that spare time

@cellP8 not really. I tried it. Didnt help whatsoever

@Johny No Way start going to the gym, it may solve the laziness problem

lol i work at...basically copying papers for a living.
I sleep most days cuz i literally have nothing to do and my pay is slightly above average ish in my area.

Since i dont ezactly  have hobbies i can at least be lazy pretty much almost every day.
Tho it does get lonely and boring at times.

Yeah, I've been there. That's why I quit being a doctor and now I do art comissions - fuck being a hardworking backbone with a job that makes a huge difference if I'm not properly rewarded - I'd rather be a useless slacker who does next to nothing for a good price and appreciation, since this is what the world is gratifying right now and we need to adapt adequately. I can still presribe myself medicine if I need to, but screw helping the morons who thought they could use me. Being competent and meaningful is severely overrated. Why save a life of a baby for 14 bucks an hour, sweating, stressing out and having to use over a decade of education and being vulnerable to lawsuits, when I can sit around at home in my pajamas scribbling away on a tablet or typing shit?

damn, that sucks bro, hope all is well...

@black cat 👻 you! I understood that reference

@Alice Kranyk Are you trolling me....if you are then bring it on troll. Let's rap a taste if you're not afraid.

That's nothing, I once got a job by saying I had theoretical degree.

I'm not sure if "pee-on" was an intentional misspelling or not but either way it's hilarious

The harder you work, the better the vacation your boss gets to go on over the Holidays

Theres a statistic that says something like, 10% of employees do 50% of the work, the other 50% is done by the remaining 90%


And just when you are struggling with the unfairness of life, EmpLemon makes a video that is in fact just about the unfairness of life.

The universe has a message for me.


Now, the real question we should be asking ourselves is “why is emplemon green.”


Genuinely one of the best descriptions of the American Dream I’ve ever heard. And in a simpsons video? I knew you were good after watching the dale video when it first came out 😂


It wasn't that much of a stand out episode.


I must be new to this channel because this is a really well put together piece. One of my long time favorite episodes and I definitely missed a few things.


who caught the GranTurismo 3 Dealership menu music?!?


Homer's Enemy is essentially just "How the f*ck does America work - The Episode"

@dragonsder People argued against you and you disagreed even though you have no idea what you’re talking about cause you said you know nothing about Cuba.

@Kael M So why do so many people risk their lives to come here? We get more immigrants than almost any other country.

@dragonsder that’s because they were stuck under a military fascist  slavery state that brutalized their country until the communists kicked them out

@dragonsder would you not agree though that Cuba has drastically improved living conditions from the Batista regime?

@dragonsder Funny how I say the same thing about the US being a dump.

@dragonsder the average Cuban lives longer than the average American, is less likely to be homeless, and is far less likely to die during childbirth. But no, Cuba was dirt poor and fascist when they changed their government. Imagine what the richest country in the world could do if it changed its government to work for the people

@Manny Song I mean it hasn’t so far lol; both countries were dirt poor and starving before they changed their governments and now they have vastly higher standards of living thanks to new politics and economics

@Paul Johnson yeah that's not going to fail specularly!

@Picky Physics Student or we can build solidarity among the working class and work together for the common good, like they’re doing in Vietnam and Cuba

The point of the video (in which you can attribute to America & western culture), is that its not worth getting caught up in the unfairness of life. Most of us will never make any great strives in changing world for "the better". We're mostly along for the ride. Holding a grudge against it, will lead to a meltdown - like what happened to Frank Grimes. Still, the ignorant bliss of Homer can only last until you drink down some acid, in sheer foolishness. Maybe the answer is somewhere in the middle of hard work in the rat race & the Laisse-faire approach. <br>Or maybe there is no answer. We're all just just coping with the struggles of a world which is burning around us. The two options are blissful denial or running yourself ragged on the treadmill, just to stay in the same place. We're all just opportunistic A-holes who does what's best for them, at the cost of the "greater good".

@Coffin Tears That's what politicians are for.

It doesn't our tax payer money goes to people who didn't work for it


“EmpLemon, or Empey, as he like to be called...”

What's really funny is that I've actually called him this to friends.

@nintendo dual-screen me too, I still end up calling him EmperorLemon

I would rather call him emperor, his videos are great


EmpLemon: You... Were on the trending tab? You?
Corporate accounts: Sure! You've never been? Would you like to see my golden play button?
EmpLemon: NO! I WOULDN'T!

Music is from wooded kingdom in mario odyssey


Seeing this has been such a huge reminder why I love things like video games or "silly" videos online, because a simple critique of the Simpsons has become a commentary on American society and a small philosophical reflection of life


Honestly if I won the lottery and died from a lightning strike that would be the happiest and best way to go out. You’re so bliss from that feeling of life changing income and the harsh realities of actually winning the lottery hasn’t hit you yet. And things like the most hopeful then they ever have. You’ll feel very lucky too. Just pure blissfulness ignorance and in a literal flash you’re dead. You didn’t even know you’re dead.  So basically you win the lottery and you live the rest of your life in pure bliss and died quick and easy no suffering and honestly a cool way.


What's the song that's playing around the 9 minute mark ?


This is an absolutely amazing analysis of one of my favorite episodes of the Simpsons.  Awesome work!


I've been waiting for you for ages you are the true scale of justice of all commentary channels I have been a fan of yours for ages and when I start my channel I hope you understand you are the true inspiration for the channel I plan on starting you might hear this allot but you must understand this is truly sincere I respect your change from ytp to commentary and I like your style so much I'll steal it but you'll never know who


Strangely, Homer and Grimes' character dynamic is extremely similar to Spongebob and Squidward's character dynamic. Spongebob is just an entire series based off the same theme this one episode portrayed.


didn't this video have a diff title previously.


high concept doesn't mean what you think it means


I'm kinda tired of everyone arguing that a certain point was when the simpsons went sour. It's called a slow decline.

It isn't that it suddenly became sour after season 8, it's just people agree the decline began in season 9

The “Never Ever” series needs to, for the love of Pete, be on Netflix or something. Even more people need to see these then those who already have.

@joeflosion is the entire other side of the political spectrum 'indoctrinated' to you??

@jsweeney7359 of course hes not a commie, he's intelligent but not indoctrinated. Thats why hes a conservative

@joeflosion I don't think emp lemon is a communist or anything lmao, he just hates the whole fakeness of corporations trying to appear authentic when it's all a scam or when they're doing something actively corrupt and wrong, otherwise I doubt he cares all too much. Also every YouTuber cares about views. (I do agree with you though that I don't want it on Netflix because I don't like them lol).

I do not think you understand Emp's feelings about corporations, mass media, views, and subscribers. Please unsubscribe

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

Theirs a Springfield estate where I'm from and an estate called Simpson, Milton Keynes UK


There's one clip from the Simpsons that lives rent free in my head and shows that despite his flaws and screwups he is still a good father. Lisa took up ballet only to discover that the other kids all take up smoking and ending up getting addicted by secondhand smoke. And when Lisa's addiction escalates to needing it firsthand, homer just bursts in, slaps the cigarette out of her hands and just unloads several rounds from a Pistol into the cigarette.

It's also fairly funny with the joke afterwards too!


Great video but couldn’t agree less about the Simpsons being past its prime. It’s called evolution. It’s evolved. You don’t need to like it but it’s amazing still


Found it: Georges Bizet - Carmen Suite No. 2 - Habanera


Very interesting video, sums up why I think the Simpsons is the best show ever. Not a fan of the "new" episodes but, no one can deny the old episodes and how much heart and dedication was put into them.

Very true bro.. i think the same could be said for any show that has been running for so many years.


There are way too many people in these comments concerned about money and wealth.  For one being wealthy is a matter of perspective.  Also, nobody here has any right to envy someone else because they feel shitty about their own situation in life.  Do something about it.  Another thing, a college degree does NOT make you intelligent or more deserving than someone else.  That's probably the biggest lie told in the world today.   "C's and D's make degrees and open doors for me not thee!"  Any idiot who has their mommy and daddy (mistakenly) wiping their ass and buying them a first class citizen ticket (degree) can make it through college.  There are even incompetent doctors, lawyers, and engineers in this world we live in.  If you're dumb enough to take out student loans when you are 18 years old you deserve the debt and stress.  It's beyond ignorant and well into the realm of stupidity to take out those kinds of loans with no stable source of income and no guarantee of employment.  "Nobody ever got rich working for  someone else."  Bullshit. It's very possible if you work consistently and put out quality work.  Don't waste your money on frivolous instant gratification bullshit.  INVEST.  Way too many lazy shit bags in the west making excuses for themselves.


What song is that in the background when they get to season 8. I have heaard it before. I thikn it is from a video game


There's a some Homer & some Grimes in all of us. I'll never forget watching this episode when it aired.


I remember watching futurama the first time at my grandmothers house. Trying to navigate the cable box when we were used to regular cable. surfing channels and looking at the preview window when we stopped to watch what we thought was simpsons, but because of the older TV the skin looked more yellow like simpsons. Groening, you bloody genius


Bart doing the floss dance was something I really didn't want to see. Thanks for that, mate.


As someone born in the 21th century, when the Simpsons were already known in the world for at least a decade, that episode caught my attention for the one realistic character for the first time I've saw it, but it didn't take long to forget about it after seeing the tons of self parody episodes. In my perspective, the actual peak of the show is the movie. They not only made their problems get an actual sense of danger by enhancing it's scale but also put than in a conflict way too different from what they usually handle, and they do it while doing the same critics and references they always did. It's sad to see how after the Simpsons other shows started to hit their peak so much faster, like Family Guy and Rick and Morty that only have 5 seasons yet.


This was absolutely brilliant.  Thank you for making this!


The first ten minutes of this video might be the most perfect and concise explanation for why this is arguably the most important TV show of all-time (or at the very least became the most inspirational).


I'm impressed this guy has done something that I dont think most people have talked about


Brilliant video. For every person that grew up watching The Golden age of The Simpsons who still watches to this day, this video is a must watch. I agree with a lot of commenters. Growing up, this episode was unnerving. Overall, this video sums up everything old Simpsons fans have felt the last 20 years or so.


Ive had to have watched the first like 12 seasons like 30-50 times and this was always one of the best. Always had a disc on repeat in my dvd player in my room. Often listened to commentaries like a podcast while playing diablo or mudds. Good times


I never thought Emperor Lemon would go from making YTPs to making philosophical and historical videos, amazing.

Just a word of caution and advice: don't just listen to one perspective.


This episode is what I think about when I complain about how many series have no continuity. It's a perfect example that you don't need , for example, Homer to continuously be an astronaut, but that you should at least have people acknowledge he was one.<br>I just wish series would be more like this. They can be even more continuous if they want (Adventure Time, for example). But leaving everything as self-contained episodes just ends up leaving them as a formula that gets boring.
