The Simpsons has gone through a lot of changes over the past 29 years, both on-screen and behind the scenes. The show is always welcome to controversy and has made a lot of headlines over the years. The show has also kept a lot of facts and figures out of the public eye.
In each opening of the show, Bart is known for his chalkboard messages, but a few of them have pushed the limits when it comes to content and innuendo. Itchy and Scratchy are two beloved characters from The Simpsons, but there was one point when Fox wanted the violent creatures off the show. Cletus is a supporting character who is known for a large collection of children with some pretty unusual names. Ned looks young and fit, but Homer’s neighbor is actually around 60 years old. 1989 is the premiere year of the Simpsons, but the yellow-skinned family did not spend too much time living out the 80’s lifestyle. Speaking of aging, Lisa Simpson has had a few birthday parties in her day, including twice when she actually celebrated the same eighth birthday. Homer may be a drunk and a doof, but he can blame everything on his sad and oppressive childhood. Homer has had over 100 jobs through 29 seasons, but the first time he was ever fired turned out to be a lot more horrific than we ever expected. The Simpsons have a dark family secret involving Marge’s Uncle Arthur and his history with guns. Watch to see all 25 of these twisted facts and the way the Simpsons have dealt with them over the years!

5:12 Homer’s mother did not pass away when he was a child, she abandoned her family and didn’t learn anything from Homer until he was already a man. She eventually passed away in season 19, in the episode “Mona Leaves-A” and didn’t reappear until season 23, episode “How I Wet Your Mother”
You’re right, it was a major plot point that Homer thought her dead until season 7 and then again when she crashed the prison bus in season 15. However, it is never implied in the video that he only thought it so, and instead assured she died from the beginning, when she didn’t.
That’s the reason why Homer never wrote back and Mona didn’t know whatever happened to him until she found him on that grave, in one of the saddest episodes if not the saddest of them all, “Mother Simpson”.
Leo Ruenes That’s what I thought when I heard it.
cellophanegirl Abe didn't destroy any care packages they were stuck at the post office probably because he was too busy working all the time to provide for Homer and no adult around to sign the sign for them. Or could be the fact that she didn't put a proper returning address on them but I'm more leaning towards the fact that no one was around to sign for them.
Homer does receive all of them when he goes to check the post office. After his mother mentions them.
Dat name tho

3:14 Not Flanders, Smithers...
Cheyne Gordon omg he actually fucked up so bad
Cheyne Gordon
Omg 😂
I’m sure we were all thinking the same thing. :)
Thank you
I thought no-one would notice till I checked the comments
Anyone else notice when he called Smithers “Flanders?”
Yea
Yeh
What time was it
Yeah I wondered what that was about
Me
The “Second Lisa’s 8th Birthday” you’re talking about is actually said very clearly in the episode to be her 7th, not her 8th. Maybe fact check in the future by actually watching the episode? I just watched it last night.
This guy really doesnt know anything first 22 facts now hes making mistakes I should hage never clicked
Lisa did not have two 8th birthdays, agreed. The Simpsons would never do that. They only do that on shows like Eight is Enough, where Tom had two 50th birthdays.
THANK YOU
Homer's mother did not "pass", she abandoned the family. My fault for clicking on this.
Charles Crisp spoiler
Spoiler
And then she died after coming back
she does end up dying in a different episode.
Season 19's "Mona Leaves-a" kills Mona Simpson.
Actually Homer mom left him when he was young
Jayden Stanley Exactly!!
You spotted that to man!👍
Thank you I thought I was trippin 😑
But he was TOLD she had died and buried locally, lousy Walt Whitman
Jayden Stanley homer mom?????*homer's mom
Actually The Simpsons started off as shorts on the Tracey Ullman show between 1987 and 1989 so it is kind of still a "child of the 80's"
Thank you for saving from posting this.
I don't care
You cared enough to give a tired retort.
Elie Lissa Well that’s the pot calling the kettle black.
We know this.
Does anyone else think that these over sexualized cartoon thumbnails are weird?
I was born in 1980, so I grew up on this show. Marge is like a second mom to me, so seeing her sexualized is creepy.
Yea....it is a little disturbing
It's hentai, and it's art.

*Smithers was painted black. Once. By accident.*
This comes directly from Matt Groening.
right
Marge was originally meant to be a rabbit. Homer was supposed to live a double life as Krusty, Bart tried to kill himself because all of Springfield told him to "jump!". Now you have 25 entries. Never make lazy revenue milking videos like this again.
marge wasnt supposed to be a rabbit, it was just a reference to groening's "life in hell" comic.
Ok. She still has a bunny ear-animation in one of the old Simpsons games though.
it was an actual idea that Groening proposed, along with revealing that Homer and Krusty are the same person, which might have been before the redesign on Krustys character in "Homie The Clown".
It’s clearly visable in one of the old games that marges hair is sucked up her vacuum , revealing the bunny ears
Who cares
25 things you already knew to get ad revenue.

Not nearly as good as later episodes for sure but everybody has to start somewhere I suppose even if it is sweeping the floor for scraps
There are only 22 facts
And 22 likes on your comment, probably not for long

OMG THAT IS SO BRILIANT

I didn't learn anything new here. And Smithers was not intended to be gay from the start. The writers just kept up and upping his ass kissing to the point where he was in love with Burns and he was more or less gay by default. The writers have said that if Smithers had a woman for a boss he'd be in love with her too. The reason they didn't want him to be black was because he was a subservient character, not gay.
smithers looks real nice as a girl though
Actually it wasn't that either, Smithers was black due to an animation error
TSR1231 the reason he was black was simply a mistake that they didn’t have time to fix
incorrect. idk where u heard that, but it was an error in coloring they couldn’t afford to fix
That was 22 not 25
The simpsons gave Manjula pregnancy pills? I think any long time fan would know that or you know, just anyone who watched the episode...
Also that it was Bart too, not just homer and Marge... This may seem like a small nitpick but as the voiceover says "homer and Marge also gave her pills" Bart raises his hand to show he gave her pills too.
They're basically the whole reason why Apu and Manjula were curs- I mean blessed with octuplets.
At 3:14 Smithers is mistakenly referred to as 'Flanders'. My rant over!
Well spotted.
Oh my god
"While Flanders was being developed. . ." I'll be your editor to prevent such mistakes.
Honestly, Flanders would probably be the opposite of Smithers. XD
How many facts are you going to repeat?
Chris M I know right
Cool Kid 160 Lol what if there was XD
All. Of them.
Haha
So so so true
The change of Smithers skin tone was a production error, creators have confirmed he was never meant to be another colour 🤦🏻♀️
You asked what had been missed. How about the fact that the Simpsons debuted on the Traci Ullman show as one minute clips (starting in 1987)

Agreed. They've gone overboard with a few of them, which lead me to believe they either commissioned the images themselves, or pulled them from the darker corners of DevaintArt.

It's also been said that Brandeen is Cletus' mother when Brandeen says "Cletus. You're the best husband AND son I've ever had."

😎The biggest mystery that still perplexes me is who was driving that bus ?
You know the one that almost hit the simpsons when homer was on his way to kill himself if it wasn't Otto ?
2:35 My name is Flanders-kage Kira. I just want a quiet life. I'm 60 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Springfield , where all the villas are, and I am married. I work as an employee for the Leftorium department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
Berd Kiev you forgot the part about being the devil
How long did it Take you to write This??
Show me on the doll where Killer Queen touched you.

What a beautiful duwang. *chew*
In the 80s we watched the Simpson's on the Tracy Ullman show
Things wrong with this video:
some of the "facts" are not even that (many where just episodes plot points and descriptions of characters), the title downright lies by saying there are 25, when actually the are 22 "facts", most weren't even twisted (the only twisted things are some stuff the facts talk ABOUT, not the facts themselves), it was clickbaity, the Guide to Life book doesn't imply the "J" is "Jojo", it's actually a running gag where he'd change it every time, Smither's race was changed not because he would be gay and black, but because it would be problematic to have a black man serving obsessively a white old man, it was very repetitive, many fans, not even longtime fans, will surely know many of these, Homer's mom didn't die until he was an adult, at 3:15 you said "Flanders" instead of "Smithers", it's obviously not researched enough, the Playboy picture you are referring to didn't reveal Marge's bare chest, it was covered, even if it was by an almost transparent piece of clothing.
I'm sure there are more that I didn't catch.
This is everything wrong with lazy channels about lists.
By the way, this was intended as constructive criticism.
honestly there is no redeeming this channel
You know you are still wrong about Smithers. He was always yellow, he just first appeared as black due to an animation error
I love facts 25.....oh no I don’t!
THERE’S ONLY 22 FACTS!
6:49 That is hilarious, Bart talks about the fourth wall like he was in a dream to a shrink!!!
5:32 - For a few seconds, all the characters lip sync perfectly with the voice over!
(Yes, I am an animator too)
10:47 love homers shadow making his iconic handgesture of delight XD
"Goldfish don't bounce" is actually an indie band.
You missed the one where Millhouse is in-bread.
As in the episode where Lisa is Bart's baseball coach the siblings argue and Bart calls Lisa names Nelson tells them to "Get a room" and Lisa replies with "We're brother and sister" and straight after Millhouse comes in with "So are my parents!"
Lisa had a birthday more than twice
Fun Fact: Flanders aged well because, as he puts it, he resisted all of the major urges. It can't possibly work like that.
My favorite chalkboard message was “I will not waste chalk”.
That's the first gag ever, aired in "Bart The Genius"
Elizabeth Taylor voiced Maggie's first words.
Bart is the best JoJo.
In the episode when Ned's house was destroyed by a hurricane, he has a conniption, afterwards, he checked himself into a mental hospital, the doctor mentioned that 30 years ago he treated Ned for anger management, then he appeared to be around 8 years old in the next scene. Is he around Homer age, or is he 60?
1:49 Aight youngins bath time. Who wants wax?
Dog howls 🤣
2:34
Ned Flanders just wants to live a quiet life... 💥
Btw Smithers had dark skin because of an early production design fail
- Series 1 episodes were all written and produced simultaneously. Later series are made sequentially
- Krusty The Klown doesn't wear make up for his stage shows
- Lionel Hutz' voice actor, Phil Hartman was murdered in 1998
- Yardley Smith is the only actor to play just one part: Lisa
380 episodes
22 minutes per episode
8,360 Minutes = 7 hours
Edit: I did the math and it is 7 DAYS and 18 hours so far
139 hours and 20 minutes
How the hell do you get 7
Carlo A woosh? His picture would suggest he isn't good at math?
There’s more than 380 ep
FXX took a non-stop 7-day marathon to air them all.
WHOOOSH
I'm pretty sure that bart having the middle name "jojo" would make him more popular these days than the 90s
4:12 My heart dropped when I heard the voice.
why? 💀
I like how he asks, “is there any that we missed?”. Yeah, 3 more facts that what you missed
y o u l i e d
In Lisa's Opus, it wasn't her 8th birthday. It was her 7th, which she specified. You can also tell because her teacher is not Ms Hoover and Homer mentions in the car that she is 6 years and 365 days old. There ya go.
You called Mr Smithers Flanders at 3:14. I hope someone gets fired for that blunder
Ants Movies it's only a tiny mistake
@@kinggeorgeiii4977 yeah but it's a good indicator of the sloppy work they put into these things.
@@Cheesusful maybe they put in sloppy work but some people generally do try hard and not notice.
@Cole Brooks They better stay away from you then lol
"Flanders just wanted to live a quiet life"
So...... is his house in the northeast section of morioh? You know, where th villas are?
Brandine actually says to Cletus "you are the best husband and son" in one episode
With the Disney acquisition of Fox around the corner, I can’t help but wonder what they’ll do to The Simpsons. Will they keep it on as it’s a flagship show? Or will they pull the plug after 30years?
Matt Thornton ive been watching the simpsons my holelife. If they do that i will destroy disney. Im not mad
Goomba Lives Matter its not a game
Matt Thornton Probably Keep
The question is? FOX from what I understand was ending the Simpsons in Season 30... & Season 29 is already probably over? I dunno…
So is Disney getting The Simpsons at all? Or No? If so, what will happen with the Show? oO
What would they do with it? Last I checked, Disney only wanted FOX for the Marvel Franchise...
They are suppose to get a lot more then just Marvel, but i'm pretty sure all they really want is the
Marvel part of it, ~_~
I thought Simpsons was part of the Deal, but if it ends, then how would Disney get it? oO
Goomba Lives Matter there is a mobile game already
"Ned Flanders is trying to live a quiet life"
I'm gonna Diddly Doodly Detonate you with my Second bomb, ⌈Shiddly Shaddly Sheer Heart Attack⌋ Neighborino!
I was born in 1988 and was raised with the Simpsons and I love them but I wish they would just stop now keep that legacy how we wonna remember it
The title says 25 facts but there are only 22 learn how to count!
A.Z.K Joseph21 the worse part is that they did count the amount of facts they were putting 😂
The thing that surprised me about Ned Flanders is when it was revealed that he had anger issues in the episode Hurricane Neddy. Before that Ned was always that sweet, nice, religious man who never said any unkind thing about anyone. But when he finally snapped and ranted and raved to the whole town my jaw dropped and I gasped, "Flanders!"
Put playback speed on 1.25x for normal speech
Thank you
Thanx
XD ur right
A lot of people seem to forget that The Simpsons started as short animations before and after commercials on The Tracey Ullman Show. I think it started in 1987 or 1988. My husband and I used to watch it and liked it even back then, although the animation was much cruder than it is now. I seem to remember a lawsuit by Ullman against them because the contract stated that she would get a percentage if The Simpsons went on to become a show in its own right. Also, for a time, Bart Simpson was in commercials for Butterfingers. :)
yeah maggie can talk but dosen't to spite her family
Wow, I remember watching that Christmas special over and over lol
10:24
You're welcome
Charziken909 what about it
Favorite: "Crusty the clown in dating Your Mom!!! :D "
I have her issue of Playboy because I love Marge Simpson. The second I saw it, I bought and I still have it all these years later.
6:02 you say dark, but these were unequivocally the most uplifting episodes of the entire series.
can you not even count to 25? LMAO
Homer's mom did pass away when he was a young child, she left him and his dad and then passed away when Homer was older
Bart is best JoJo
''Hey Crusty The Clown is dating your mom'' hahahahahaha
3:15 he calls smithers flanders
"Whacking Day" always reminded me of Weird Al's "Weasel Stomping Day".
U say 25 facts but u only showed 22 facts, where's the other 3 facts?
"Why did Churchy Lafemme get half price?" Holy crap, they slipped a Pogo reference in there.
Where do I find the Marge in Playboy images?
For verification purposes, obviously.
Bart's middle name was first revealed in the first issue of Simpsons Illustrated in the spring of 1991. There was a Simpsons trivia quiz and that was one of the questions.
There were 22 facts not 25
I have a new title for this "22 facts even casual Simpsons fans will know."
2:07 Sweet home, Alabama.
25 times we got clickbaited
3:15 Flanders?
The house that was built to be a real-life replica of the Simpsons' home should've been kept preserved as a public museum. It would've made an excellent tourist attraction.
9:03 Is that a JOJO'S reference!!!!!
Its weird to realise that Ned was at least 20 something years older than Maude
Joey Joe Joe Shabadoo 😂
MiQuel Quiles - classic...lol
You are WRONG about when the Simpson's premiered! You COMPLETELY FORGOT the years it was on The Tracey Ullman show, which is where it premiered!
His own father given up a lot for Homers sake. I would take Abe over Homer anyday.
Suksas Noooo I love Homer
Rylee O'neail You love being strangled?
Suksas his father did that to him too
Not as much. And most definitely not at the drop of the hat.
Suksas we only assume Abe didn't do it as much because you don't see as many flashbacks as you do the present. Abe isn't a terrible father though. He was good to Homer
I’m not sure how many of these I’d deem to be ‘twisted’ but what someone did to that Simpson’s house???!! THAT’S TWISTED!! Man i would have SOOOO lived there!!
Why did they have to have a whacking day where they kill snakes? On a birthday in my family.
Didn't Springfield do away with Whacking Day after Bart and Lisa exposed the truth about that bizarre holiday?
7:00 *Disney 2019:* Yes. We own Fox now.
We all know what you came here for. It's at 10:45
I want to marry Marge
I don't see how any longtime fans won't know these as they are based on some of the most famous episodes. There are about 5 facts here that are somewhat surprising, and none are twisted
12:04
At 16 I was like: BART!!!! You too!!!
For the second last fact there cannot be only one first word bart says because in the episode "dangers on a train" homer states that his first words were after bart reefers Ned flanders his *daddy*
