I love how hes like 600 years old

🤓

actually, the austro-hungarian monarchy was abolished AFTER world war 1.

Larry the Barfly in the crowd... RIP

War world 1,war world 2

Yes, not Austria-Hungary, but the tune of "America" and " God Save the King" was also the tune of Germany's national anthem until 1918?

You can hear the actual Austro-Hungary Empire Anthem in CZcams

The tune he's singing actually the National Anthem of the German Empire 1871-1918. The Austro-Hungary Empire, 1867-1918, they started the hostilities by invading Serbia.

*"European Union? Good heavens."* Out of all things he gets told about, he complains about *that.* Gets me every time.

Fun Fact: This show is a giant piece of shit.

Does Mr Burns even know what year it is?

A WWI and WWII veteran who didn't know those wars actually happened

Fun fact the Autro-Hungarian Empire's Anthem has exactly the same melody as England's God Save the Queen. ( Edit, I meant to say that the German Empire Anthem sounds exactly as God Save the King )

Curious thing that Mr Burns thinks America is part of the Autro-Hungarian Empire.

I lile how it's the EU that scares him, not all the war and terror before that xD

In the original show the joke would have cut off after the singing and would have been funny. We understand the reference. But no, we have to drag it out like it’s Family Guy we’re watching.

When he mentioned European Union he was like.. Good god!

Bros was Blackpilled f#ck hard

Rip A-H, gone too soon

I always sing this when god save the kings being played ive yet to be caught out😂😂

Then what happened? WW1 Then what? Angry Austrian Painter

Thank gosh they're only joking. It'd be terrible if the Archduke got assassinated. Might cause a war or something...

Herr Bürns confirmed

That’s hilarious 😂

The simpsons, doing. Ore.good form the American teaching of history than America ever did.

Mr. Burns: "Then what?" Assistant: "The European Union." Mr. Burns: *Gasp* I too had the same reaction.

What was after cold war and before EU?

Isn’t he a WW2 veteran in the show? I could’ve sworn he got into a conflict because he hid Nazi treasure and someone else also had a claim to it.

It’s actually really funny how many nationalists in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire felt a sense of nostalgia for the Hapsburg state after the interwar period. It turns out having your state become politically irrelevant isn’t always the most popular choice.

Here are the full lyrics according to ChatGPT: My country, ’tis of thee, Austria-Hungary, Obey your king; Land where my forebears reigned, Empire of the Danube's plain, From fortress to terrain, Let Habsburg's rule sing! My native country, thee, Empire of royalty, Thy name I love; I cherish castles grand, The Danube's winding strand, My heart's in your command, Like heaven above. Let music fill the air, Resound through valleys fair, Sweet freedom's song; Let voices loud proclaim, In Austria's noble name, From Vienna to the same, The empire strong. Our fathers' Habsburg line, In rule, they did entwine, To thee we sing; Long may our realm unite, With loyalty burning bright, Protect us day and night, Great Emperor, our King!

Good heavens, he is so right about the E.U. 🤣

Wait.. what's an Austria-Hungary? ... So that's what happened to the Holy Roman Empire? ... I see.

As usual with modern simpsons they’ve gone way overboard with the joke.

Austria-Hungary and the German Empire did nothing wrong! The Ottomans can go fuck themselves.

0:20 the Great Depression? Then WW2

In another universe, Mr Burns would be Skullface from Metal Gear Solid V

In late 2016 we visited Rome. We slept in the Casa di Santo Stefano. Next morning there were two or three dozens of Habsburgs there, like some class. They were coming from all around Europe, going to the Vatican, to a papal audience.

Fun fact: One of the heirs to the Habsburg (Old Austro-Hungarian Royal Family) was Otto von Habsburg. He was actually a supporter of the European Union and was later a member of the EU parliament. He also held the title as the heir to the Habsburg throne from 1922 till his death in 2011.

Honestly wouldve been funnier if ya couldnt hear Smithers, guessing at the exact steps he took to the EU wouldve added to the humor

That's a very exaggerated dumb joke 🙄

"The European union! Good heavens!" Exactly what i said mr. Burns. Nothing good can come of this chimera...

I see me and Burns both hate the EU

It's really a shame that Americans stole the Austrio-Hungarian anthem.

Aikpsonsbr fgts

Fun fact i used to play a ww1 game with my friends and i liked using austria-hungary Imagine our surprise when burns was singing this haha

I saw an interview once with this older woman who was some kind of remnant Viennese aristocrat. It was very interesting. It's a very unique kind of person.

But mr burns fought in ww2

Schade ist es nicht auf deutsch gesprochen worden ich glaub die Amis hätten amok gemacht😂😂😂😂

The fuck does he say after "The Cold War"? And then again after that?

don't worry, Mr Burns, both Austria and Hungary are doing their best to sabotage the European Union
