If The Simpsons is an accurate parody of American society, then the highly repetitive theme of bribery is a searing indictment of it. Nevertheless, it’s hilarious!
that last clip 💀 reminds me of a tiktok impersonation of how cops write books: "each day organized crime finds a new, sick, twisted way to make money....and each day we find new ways to catch 'em..." meanwhile how the ex-mafia guys write books: "the cops? ohhh yeaaaah, love the cops, always took our bribes, hell, our entire operation wouldn't have work without the cops on our side!"
3:35 It's a shame they zoomed it in the old episodes for newer broadcasts since the original showed a ton of money on the table where now you can only see a tiny amount since the picture is so stretched out and zoomed in. Makes the joke not land as well as it used to but still funny.
3:38 - 3:40 Couldn’t resist commenting again. Counting those stacks of bills on the table, and assuming those are bundles of twenties (with 100 twenties per bundle), that could come to approximately $74,000 USD in early 1990’s money. EDIT: 4:02 - 4:07 Also noticed about four of those bundles were stuffed in his pockets. Assuming those are bundles of twenties (with 100 twenties per bundle), that’s about $8,000 USD in early 1990’s money.
4:55 The real hilarious part is the idea that there'd be an exchange of cash instead of an order for thousands of the politician's books or just hiring a "consulting firm" that _happens_ to have Bill Clint- I mean the unnamed politician on their board. Don't worry, though. He doesn't take a salary. He just gets a bonus at random times for no reason whatsoever.
Let’s be honest. Ignoring the horrible investment feedback from his advisors, Mr. Burns must have EXTREMELY frugal money habits to have so much available for bribes (and a high power legal team still willing to defend him). By the by, if he’s running a nuclear power plant, would his proper title be Dr. Burns? I’m assuming he would need a Doctor of Philosophy in Nuclear Physics. If I’m wrong, or if there’s more to it, anyone please feel free to correct me.

'And the Oscar goes to-'
'I've got to win this one. I've bribed everyone in Hollywood!'
'-George C Scott, in Man Getting Hit By Football'
Ah yes, the apology Oscar
ironically, he was known for rejecting Oscars.
Omg Marge just immediately saying 200 and then considering refusing the bribe is just flawless.
Homer is surprisingly immune to corruption.
When he was young, he was immunized with a full dose of stupidity: one crayon to the brain
