its possible that the "putting challenge" title was just a reference to carvallo's speciality and not the entirety of the game, like "ayrton senna's super monaco gp"
I did start to wonder if the game would only involve putting to be called "Lee Carvallos Putting Challenge" or if it was the full 18 hole game. Suppose the 3 wood could suggest a full game with 18 holes, but then again saying "Welcome to Lee Carvallos Putting Challenge" when he's on the green would imply that is where the game starts.
@@socallawrence So in golf, there are a number of types of clubs. The three-wood is specialized for getting the ball as far as possible, and it's usually used at the start. Meanwhile, the putter is specialized for when you're close to the hole. In the clip, Lee Carvallo is standing maybe ten feet from the hole, so a putter is exactly what you'd pick if you cared about getting the ball into the hole. A three-wood, hitting with a level of strength the game calls "POWER DRIVE", in that situation, is like the equivalent of playing Doom and getting out the BFG-9000 to deal with one imp; ludicrous overkill that is only going to waste your time.
That "tick tick tick" sound as it hits the parking lot is so accurate for games of that time, especially PC games. You were so desperate for anything cool to happen, your brain would force itself to enjoy even the smallest of details.
Man I could recite all of this as a kid... and it all just came flooding back.. I just realised most of my adult humour is based on Simpsons episodes I hardly ever think about anymore.
Yes. He did a part on the show “Entourage “. I didn’t recognize his voice let alone connect him with the same actor who does Homer Simpson and the rest.
He could just steal Bonestorm off Milhouse. Actually Milhouse might be the only boy on Earth who would willingly swap Bonestorm for Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge. ("Wow! Feather touch!")
It's a classic Simpsons screw-the-audience joke: the cliche happy ending would have been Bart getting Bonestorm as his present, but instead he gets the random golf game briefly mentioned by Comic Book Guy, which is then given its own gameplay scene during the credits.
0:21 Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge and Bonestorm must've been Atari Jaguar games. That was the only game console still being sold at the time of this episode where you could actually press those buttons!
I could definitely see it. They are both generic sounding and obscure enough. Like Bonestorm is the knock-off Mortal Kombat and Lee Carvello is the knock-off Jack Nicklaus or Greg Norman.
I think it's a reference to Craig Stadler who made a game about golfing in which he was really invested. Giving advice to the player on legitimately becoming a better golfer. The premise sounded goofy back then, and it still is today, because the game became YTP Material.
I thunk it is implied that this is a floppy disk or tape game for a computer. Most games that had controls that utilized number pads were computer games during the 90s.
@@sonicmastersword8080 if my memory serves me the Intellivision console had a voice module addon that some games used, also its joystic had a numeric pad wich even at the time was archaic as hell considering that most of the consumer base was seeking either arcade titles or fast pacesd action ones.
@@RevanBC I love golf video games. Give me a well-made golf video game and I'm happy as a clam. Particularly good memories of playing PGA Tour Golf I-III on the Sega Megadrive.
This is so inaccurate, and yet so accurate at the same time. Nothing about the game makes any sense, but as a story about trying to have fun with a crap game in the 90s when it's all you have? Perfection
When i was a kid i always thought he just says press 7 to swing, but he says 8 because bart pressed 8 then he says 7 again to correct bart lololol but years later i remembered the 3 beeps after he says 7 8 7.
Definitely not because Marge believed Bonestorm is too expensive, violent and distracting of Bart's studies. The people at the Try N' Save near her home didn't need to take advantage of Marge because she intended to buy him the Lee Carvallo putting game. If that had been Homer, he would've given Bart exactly what he wanted.
It is possible that the salesperson might have wanted to take advantage of Marge lacking knowledge on which video games are popular and use it as a chance to sell away Lee Carvallos putting challenge. I wouldn't put it past Comic Book Guy to take advantage of Marge after the episode when Bart and Milhouse got banned from his shop because they warned the customer about Comic Book Guy trying to rip her off.
@@ethanciotti9103 I'm sure you'd need much more to trade for Bonestorm than Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge. Not even Escape From Grandma's House plus Putting Challenge would be equal to a copy of Bonestorm when it had just been released!
*To all the Zoomers coming here:* it's just not gonna be as funny to you as it was to us who grew up on this. It's kind of a, "You had to be there" type thing. Seeing this at the end of the episode had me hysterical as a kid. *We even repeated lines from THIS VERY CLIP YOU'RE WATCHING in the schoolyard!* It had that much impact! And replaying it on the web game had me screaming. But I don't think watching an old video from my childhood will give you the same delight but here it is.
The funniest thing about this is that "power drive" is even an option in a game about putting.
Exactly! 🤣 and why feature 3 woods on a putting only game
Thanks. I was too stupid to know why it was funny.

I'm impressed that the game designers included the parking lot.

I guess its a joke on the NES game called GOLF, and Bonestorm makes reference to Mortal Kombat.
@@wightman1987 either that or it's a training level.
I absolutely love how his voice significantly changes in not only tone but also audio quality for the line "You have selected POWER DRIVE" XD
Audio quality doesn't change at all, but the tone does
Also in "Ball is in PARKING LOT"
It's like the actor really loved saying that line and they felt it was just right for that moment.
Duff man!

@@socallawrence bart basically gave a fuck about the guys suggestions

This was not only an amazing Simpsons classic moment but it highlights just how amazing Dan Castellaneta’s voice acting is haha 😂
He definitely had children who played video games at the time. Or maybe he played them himself
Yes. He did a part on the show “Entourage “. I didn’t recognize his voice let alone connect him with the same actor who does Homer Simpson and the rest.
This shit never fails to crack me up especially when he say's "POWER DRIVE" with so much feeling LMFAO
"Would you like to play again"?
"You have selected no".
🤣🤣🤣
“You have entered POWER DRIVE” pops into my head at the most random occasions, cracks me up every time.
As a kid, I considered this a game for complete nerds.
As an adult, I consider this game very relaxing.
It was Mario golf that introduced me to golfing.
neeeerrrrrrrrrrd
- Homer
for me outrageous like mario golf of hot shots golf
This was basically my experience with Animal Crossing 🤣
Found it boring as a teenager as an adult find it very relaxing.
I always crack up when he says, You have selected No 😁😁🤗🤗🤗
Damn, you are fine as hell, and you like The Simpsons. Be the Patty to my Jub-Jub.

The way he subtly aggressively says "Power drive!" fucking kills me.
Which is weird because up until today I assumed he said it a lot more aggressively than that. Must have remembered it all wrong.
I totally missed that until I saw it after reading your comment! I'm at the doctor and I suspect he is going to wonder why I'm laughing!
The way his voice announces POWER DRIVE gets me every time haha
feather touch…
This is one of the funniest things in history of time.
Does seem kind of sad that Bart didn't get the Bonestorm game in the end, but Lee Carvallos putting challenge did effectively give us this ending.
It's not like Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge is walking away from the shelves.
He could just steal Bonestorm off Milhouse.
Actually Milhouse might be the only boy on Earth who would willingly swap Bonestorm for Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge.
("Wow! Feather touch!")
He probably threw the game out the window
It's a classic Simpsons screw-the-audience joke: the cliche happy ending would have been Bart getting Bonestorm as his present, but instead he gets the random golf game briefly mentioned by Comic Book Guy, which is then given its own gameplay scene during the credits.
Mind-blowing idea: "Bonestorm Putting Challenge!"
I can imagine the uninterested look on Barts face playing this game 😂😂
probably the same as on itchy and scratchy "love and share" episode
It was cute though. Being grateful anyways that his mom got and just playing around relax after a nice Christmas Day.
Lisa on the other hand would be dancing with Glee
The fact that it comes with a free pencil is probably the best premium version ever! They were so ahead of the time!
Might I suggest: Feather Touch?
You have selected: POWER DRIVE!
This scene is absolute genius 😂😂😂
This was way better than the actual PC golf sims in the 90s
I forget how great the writing is in the old episodes
never forget
actually I never forgot, because the last 20 seasons always remind me how much they suck now.
@@AngrierGorilla Simpsons was great for the first decade or so now it's just an unwelcome long run on sentence
@@patrickoliver9133 yeah, pretty much what I said.
There is no good writing without an overarching plot. Good jokes? Yes. Good meme material? Yes. But Simpsons never had good writing.
I love the way he says POWER DRIVE so angrily
Still hilarious after all these years
I love how he says I am carvallo
The fact a 3 wood is an option as a club with a putting game 😂
“You have selected ‘No’”. Best quote I’ve ever heard. I don’t blame Bart. For that’s a corny golf game 😂
"Don't do it son... How's that game gonna help your putting?"
Haha I remember seeing this episode when it originally aired. Always makes me laugh..
Game is about putting, but gives you 3W club and ‘Power Drive’ options.
I remember listening to the dvd commentary of this episode and they were just laughing their heads off at this.

This is exactly how it would be played.
Simpsons was so good and tightly written for so many years , every line was effectively a lunch line.
mmmmmmm lunch line.
2021 and I'm still laughing at this 🤣🤣🤣
One of the single greatest moments from what was then a brilliant show at the height of it powers.
Lee Carvallo for Super Smash Bros Ultimate
His special move would be POWER DRIVE ofc
*beep* no
Think it was probably Comic Book Guy who recommended this to Marge. I can hear the exchange in my head
I wouldn't put it past him
I suggest feather touch... you have entered POWER DRIVE!
Considering that the game itself isn't pixelated and looks very much like realm life Simpsons, that's one POWER DRIVE console.
"You have selected.. NO" 😂
I think it's a reference to Craig Stadler who made a game about golfing in which he was really invested. Giving advice to the player on legitimately becoming a better golfer. The premise sounded goofy back then, and it still is today, because the game became YTP Material.

I woke up the hotel room next to me at 3AM laughing at this
Kinda neat that he seems to be playing this on a Colecovision or an Intellivision even though this episode came out in '95.
Hey, give the devs credit, they programmed in something you weren't supposed to do.
Yeah, if they made this today the parking lot would be day 1 DLC and the 3 wood would only be accessible through micro transactions.
Bart would probably have given it a few more plays if the ball broke some of the car windows.
This is clearly one of the first open world games. No other golf game would have bothered programming in the parking lot.
Welcome to crazy Vaclav's putting it in H challenge. I am Vaclav, now, choose a car.
A lot of The Simpsons humor got away from me as a kid, this scene was probably the exception. This shit made me cry from laughter.
Still one of the most random/funniest "shorts" in Simpsons history. Kinda like the Ned Flanders spin off tv show at credits, but this is much funnier.
