This is genius, feels what a Documentary in Roger Rabbit's Universe would look like
OH MY GOD YES 😂
I like this comment better than the video
Is this a joke?
@@evyonnecircle2977no, also is there a problem with their comment. What they said is true.
Ya definitely
II fucking lost it when Spongebob was revealed as Homer's son.
That means SpongeBob is the half-brother of Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
@@benrobson3442 no they are actors
I red this too soon spoiled still watching it it us good
that hit different. 😂
Bart And spongebob are kinda the same person
This was so much better of a “what if cartoons were real and actors” story than the Chip and Dale movie
Fr
😡🔪
The Chip and Dale movie isn’t That bad. It’s not the Sonic movies.
Rescue Rangers was good wdym

I love that even the credits have some lore to them, as despite him being blacklisted by Hanna-Barbera, he was still close with Shaggy Rogers, who went on to direct this documentary based on Homer's rise to stardom.
Shaggy looks out for his people.
@@rayvenkman2087 , his first wife never really did much after her own career, so one can argue that she ironically destroyed her own career, not just in front of the camera, but also behind it as well. I mean, both in the dimension that everyone knows, as well as this parallel world, Hanna-Barbera was on the skids by the time that the 1980s were around, and by the time that the early 1990s came to be, it pretty much did not exist anymore, so you tell me who won that battle in either dimension? I also suspect that the ex is also pretty much the parallel dimension instigator in this parallel world that a similar merry band of morons that have done in the dimension that everyone knows that have all pretty much banned cartoons in both dimensions because they were advertisements that promoted evil agendas in favor or, wait for it, pseudo-educational idiocy that ironically peddled agendas, as well as way more boring and dull replacements for them that are called infomercials. Consequently, Warner Brothers, Disney, and the other studios began to suffer due to these agenda peddling idiots and these idiots, combined with the advent of the internet, pretty much ensured that cartoons on television was a pretty much dead medium. Basically, her response was pretty much, "Well, if he is going to do this to myself, then whoever sides with him is going to suffer, even if I literally have to destroy every single animation studio to make it happen", but then everyone had wised up to her and one animated character saw what the real life people saw and pretty much went postal on her and assassinated her. Sadly, in this world, the same thing did not happen to the people that were responsible for such atrocities that were being done to children.
I love how you not only worked so hard to recreate each studio's aesthetic, but came up with actual names for all the classic cartoon characters
I legitimately got goosebumps when he mentioned "Robert Simpson's acting career in 1999".
It's genius setup.
@@amesstarline5482 i don't clap for internet videos often, but that got some claps out of me. I forgot how much clapping hurts. It really doesn't happen that often.
SpongeBob was Homer' kid
@@KairuHakubi Of course it hurts.. People forget, but when you clap, you're really just slapping yourself. Twice.
Imagine if they make that cannon!
This feels like a love letter to animation.
God Damn, it sure Does!
Yeah, I love it.
I hope Yellow Guy from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared sees this one day and knows that many yellow folk have made huge strides within the acting world
His dad's already a big time TV producer.
@@mattphillips3537 I don't know if he should be talking to his dad-
@@mattphillips3537 Maybe its a family member...
That Robert simpson twist is one of the hardest in history. I gasped
Homer’s such a great actor that he can even change art styles. Don’t know many actors that can do that.
Brilliant piece of parody. the artwork is exceptional.
same here
What do you mean? It's all real!
@@VinluvAntonHandesbukia yeah, like graggle simpson
I loved the long long walk to get to the SpongeBob punchline. The "hip to be a square" reference was great, and seemed like a fun little obscure reference, but when it finally got to the end, it really paid off. And of course as always, all of the drawing styles you used were spot-on!
I'am glad to see that despite the odds being stacked against homer he was still able to make to the top, and glad to see that he still does work.
holy shit that Segway to spongebob
Making Spongebob Homer's son was the cherry on top. 😂😂
Wasn't expecting to see you here Monsieur!
It is a crime to see how few people have seen this masterwork... Almost as outrageous as the ones Homer committed in his bit part in Fritz the Cat.
Bravo good sir!
Fritz the cat went hard frfr
You know a mockumentary has done a damn fine job when you actually start longing for the product/films/whatever it is being featured for all but a few seconds.
This Channel is REALLY underrated, this parody is Brilliant, and the artwork is just perfect
This was absolutely genius. The ever-changing art styles with a different programming calls to how actors change their appearance with every show or movie they do. The naming his son Robert in the beginning leading to both a play on Bart Simpson and SpongeBob SquarePants a mind-boggling amount of juggling to make that happen but it did. Perfect 10/10 for satire entertainment
This is the best piece of who framed Roger rabbit fanfic ever made
When you realize the credits are all more fictional characters
Example: catdog
I love how this is actually played straight without becoming meta or a parody of itself. Great job, and hope to see more content like this.
So that WAS homer in astroboy, what a Amazing Actor.
"Irving Pac." Nice, obscure MAD Magazine reference!
Having him in clutch cargo with the lips moving and everything was perfect
Dude. Bart to Bert to Robert to Bob to SpongeBob. That's genius.
1:35 "a musical adaptation of The Castle by Franz Kafka" That is such a bad idea that it could be a real school play.
Can't believe you forgot to include homer's time on Nam'. This is where he meet his closest friend and best man in marriage, Edwin Marshall T. Flaunders. The man who famously played Ned Flanders
I know I can’t believe he forgot to include that
Damn....Homer Simpson was an ACTUAL PERSON?! I wondered why some of the voice in early WB and Universal cartoons sounded the same. He was a damn good voice actor. And The Simpsons is the longest running animated series in television history. He definitely received redemption.
According to a fan from Japan, he’s regarded as a cult icon over there. Enough to star in a series of commercials for a soft drink brand.
Apparently, the design of Mister Sparkles in that classic episode of the Simpsons is based on an old doujin manga an artist happens to own in his own personal collection where the manga artist styled his likeness like the one you see in the episode and the reason they picked it because they thought it was too funny of a portrait to not put to TV.
The director’s commentary for the episode revealed that he didn’t know about what Mister Sparkles actually looked like when he did the voiceover work until they filmed that commercial scene in the and mentions he personally own a copy of the outtake where he just absolutely lost it as did his two co-stars when they saw the animation; supposedly taking over 12 takes before they got one they needed because they struggled to not laugh when they’re not supposed to. Said he wished they could have kept the reaction in but the producers voted against it.
Can't even imagine how long all these drawings must've taken you. Glorious. 😵
Homer Simpson was used to be the owner of Tom and Jerry? My childhood is complete now!
According to Tom’s actor, he was quite a delight to work with and remarks how he should have been kept as the owner over the others.
The Robert Simpson reveal killed me. That totally hit so perfect haha
According to a 1996 interview with Tim Dallas aka the Superman of the 19990’s during the promotion for Superman: TAS, he cites Homer Simpson as a performer that taught him more on how to be an actor the same way Al Pacino cites John Cazale as a mentor to him when he met him at a coffee shop and hoped to pay him forward by getting him an appearance on the show.
Regrettably, Homer couldn’t appear on Superman: TAS as he had a busy schedule with the heavy workload of Simpsons Season 7&8 which resulted in his guest appearance in ‘Double Dose’ to be scrapped and by the time he got a break in his schedule; Superman: TAS ended production after the finale of Season 3 to focus on Batman Beyond. Despite that, Homer will still make nods to Superman including his memorable ‘Save Me Superman’ quote from Simpsons Season 9 and has made a number of fan convention appearances alongside him.
I legitimately felt like this was real. Such convincing artwork!
Remember to show some love for Captain Caveman, who served as both Stunt Department Coordinator and Graphic Designer.
Plus according to some rumors I heard, he’s the guy who actually helped a young Reptar get work at HB Studios to play the role of Godzilla for their 1978 show after failing to score a part in Disney’s Pete’s Dragon. Has anyone ever asked him about it?
i cannot describe how awesome this is and i cant imagine the work and creative process this needed,the names of the character and bart having the colour and shape of spongebob and taing the creative decision to make him spongebob is just,amazing,i cant describe how AWESOME this is
This deserves waaaay more attention. This is an extremely well researched documentary and very informative
Had heard a few things about Homer's past, but didn't realise it was so expansive! I'll need to go back and checkout some movies I missed him in.
I think he plays a orc involved in the ‘When there’s a whip, there’s a way’ chorus in the animated Hobbit film and it also stars the late Johnny Le Jones who was the original Hungry Crocodile actor from 1953’s Peter Pan as Smaug for most of the film. Unfortunately according to Homer in a retrospective documentary for the feature, Johnny’s heavy smoking from prior decades had led to his declining health by the time they did the adaptation and said Johnny was a shadow of his former self when he saw him out of costume during the shoot; noting they had to lighten his costume just so he’s able to play his character in the less physically intensive sequences with stunt doubles handling the rest. He’d end up passing away a week after the film’s premiere on TV.
watched this at 3 AM when i had a horrid headache and fever was like watching a glimpse into another universe. Surreal.
Mr. Green's grandson is in a popular web series called "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared."
It’s also a funny coincidence that homer shared his stage name with Matt’s father who is also named homer
I've always loved the episodes where they put him in old age make up and he played both Homer and Abe Simpson!
Also think it's amazing how no one really realized until season 2 that Homer was also playing Krusty the Klown! Love how Homer uses that character to reflect much of his own real life experiences what he had to go through to become successful in Hollywood, some of the temptations he couldn't resist, and the prices he's had to pay. Brilliant he thought to do this by playing a completely separate character in the show so he could keep portraying Homer as an everyman type of character.
2:23 In the British and Australian dubs of Betty Boop’s Snow-White, Homer took the part as being Bimbo, while Betty and Koko know how to speak in a British (or was it Australian) accent.
This is so underrated! The world felt so fleshed out and I would love more. Every video you make is a work of art!
We need to see more of these cartoon biographies
The SpongeBob bit caught me off guard
Amazing how this is full of references to The Simpsons, like when you mentioned Max Power. I admire your creativity in finding a way to even tying Spongebob with Homer.
Now I wonder how do cartoons age and live in this "world". I mean, when you showed how Homer was born in 1923, I thought you were going to showcase him "aging".
Anyway, I loved it
I imagine it's like Roger Rabbit tbh, they don't really 'age' but their style can change?
Wow I never knew SpongeBob was Homer's son
Nice work on that deep pull of "Irving Pac" from Mad Magazine's 1982 "Man of the Year" issue.
I love how you perfectley captured all the different artstyles.
I've heard he was on the filming of the 1960's samurai fantasy serial "Dororo" mainly to see friends he made on Astro Boy. What a man :-)
I cannot stress enough how grateful I am I found your channel. You're an amazing comedian and a great artist. I've felt nothing but joy thus far.
If you made one of these about Chucky from the Child’s Play movies it would be a dream come true.
Hands down the best thing ever shown on CZcams. Sheer brilliance.
Homer’s now 100 years old here!
Kathy and I think your work is absolutely brilliant! We still remember you cracking us up with your many voices in Israel, way back when you were still a wee lad. Keep at it, mate, your future is surely bright! We look forward to many more installments of the Harry Gold Show.
as great as this was, the credits were insane.
Who knew Shredder was an accomplished decorator?
This might be one of my favorite videos on youtube.
After watching your Spongebob art video it reminded me of this gem, so two years later I came back to watch it again. I still believe that this is your magnum opus. I'm delighted to see so many comments from people experiencing it for the first time within the past couple of months. It will be hard to top, but I would love to see this format further explored in the future.
Plus it makes for a good place to make shitposts discussing the fictional characters as though they were real actors with real lives.
Amazing to think Homer is gona be 100 this april and still acting.
Toons have a longer lifespan than humans
Talk about resilience: Homer is around 100 years old, but still going strong.
Highly underrated video, great work bro!
If you could, make more of these! This was amazing and well-made. Maybe tackle other famous cartoon characters.
Hanna-Barbera Homer looks incredibly cursed and i love it
The algorithm brought me on your channel with your first alien paleontology video, which is great.
But I have to thank you for this master piece of genius that should be seen by all the Simpsons fans (which I'm part of)!
You obviously earned my sub. Greetings from France 🇫🇷 !
Excellent work. This is gonna blow up I can feel it in my bones
Basically this documentary lived in the world of who framed roger rabbit. Btw I love the creativity you always come up with the cool stuff 😁
I have never clapped at the end a of youtube video before. Your editorial warmed my heart so.👏
You gotta do more documentaries like this with other classic toon stars!
And Spongebob being the love child of Homer friggin' Simpson and a square from sesame street is GOLD.
Really well done! And the Patrick Stewart sketch at the end is wonderful!
A very underrated mockumentary, can't believe I'm seeing it first time now
this is one of the greatest videos i’ve ever watched, i need a sequel 😭
I love this type of documentary, the amount of effort that goes into this is amazing!!!
Please, please do more stuff like this! This video is amazing and really works for a great series and really highlights the creativity that gets put into it.
Next I want you to make this story:
The history of a guy named Scott Swanson.
By: Malikai Chhem
He was born on October, 15th, 1956. He was raised in a dirty household since that was before the civil rights act was established. He faced many challenges and problems throughout his life. He and his family were constantly bullied by white people because of their skin.
His father passed away due to an attack by the officers. Scott’s passion is to be a cartoon actor, because he was born as an animated character.
And so he took acting classes with two black animated students, James Williams and Derrick Lawrence. After the civil rights act, he and his friends celebrate with wine and beer. Since black animated characters are allowed to play as characters Scott and his animated pals took the opportunity.
On April, 23rd, 1968 he and his friends met Bill Cosby. Bill at the time was planning to hire animated characters for his new show that he’s been working on. He chose Scott to be the star. Brian was happy to have his dream come true.
In 1969, they debut in a short in which later would become Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. His friends, James and Derrick, were also hired as characters. James would eventually play Rudy and Derrick would eventually play Weird Harold.
Swanson during the show was in a bad condition. He had developed an eating disorder because he was eating a lot of food. At the end, he gave up on his diet, but didn’t die of obesity or diabetes because he’s a cartoon after all.
After the show ended in 1985, Swanson retired. Throughout the years he was depressed. He was sleeping and drinking a lot. But he and his friends James and Derrick was still by his side.
The years went by as Swanson grew a beard. When suddenly, one day on February, 3rd, 1996, he met two guys at a bar. Trey Parker and Matt Stone. They and Scott made a bonding with each other. Trey and Matt would eventually hire him to play as Chef in their new show, “South Park.”
Throughout the show, one of the episodes, where he played Fat Abbot. That was to parody the show that he used to worked on. He even brought his pal, James to reprise his role as Rudy again.
He then married someone named Abby and gave birth to a son named Brian.
Scott’s Hollywood life was on track again and he is adored by fans all over the country. That is, until one fateful day.
The March, 22nd, 2006 Incident.
Trey and Matt were making the episode “The Return of Chef.” During the filming of the scene where they were on the bridge is where things went wrong.
Scott told Trey and Matt that he doesn’t need a daredevil since he used to do stunts in the original Fat Albert show. Trey and Matt made the ultimate mistake by adding wildlife animals in the scene.
What the scene was originally going to play out is that Scott will hang on the exploding bridge with the animals and spikes being added in for dramatic effect.
Scott will be safe and sound at the end and his character will regret choosing Scientology and goes back to being a chef. But that’s not what happened.
Since Scott was an old person, he didn’t have the strength to climb to the bridge and fire got into him. The cameras kept on rolling as he fell to the ground and got stabbed by a stalagmite and then the animals brutally killed him.
Scott Swanson’s death was a tragedy in the cartoon filming industry. But his legacy lives on. His last role was him playing as Fat Albert in the 2004 movie by the same name. (The animated parts of the movie)
Scott’s infamous death was broadcasted only once. It says that in the news that the episode scared and disgusted people so much that the episode was never aired again. All that we have is a still of Chef claiming the bridge before getting caught in fire.
On February, 14th, 2007, Derrick, who played Weird Harold later killed himself after finding out the news of his best friend passing.
That is the story of Scott Swanson.
His legacy still lives on as his fans held a memorial and celebration in his honor. Even though he died, he had reached his goal as a cartoon actor.

I thought Homer's autobiography was called "I Hardly Knew Me"
fun fact the actor for bart simpson matthew teni is in a relation ship with kagome yukito actor for sakura in the hit japenese TV. show naruto.
Is this. A Nickelodeon Magazine reference?
I once met Homer Simpson in 1994 in the famous restaurant "Los Angeles Cartoon Bar" and boy let me tell you
he is not the same person that we all know from the show .
he was very intellectual and In fact he didn't like beer vey much , he was a fan of french wine !!! can you Believe that !!!
