You probably don't remember a time before remote control, when children were the remote. Change the channel, turn up the volume, get out of the way I can't see the screen.
Omnipotent Dwarf - right! At least back then we only had channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. Unless you ventured into the nether regions of UHF, which we did. My parents were immigrants and there was a channel on UHF in their language. It was like the AM of TV. Terrible reception and if you breathed or looked at he antenna the wineglass way it would go all snowy.
I recall a station actually doing something like that. I was watching some holiday cartoon with my niece and right after it was done it went directly into a show that opend up with a sex scene.
@@uknownada Wow, really? I never knew that. It's funny I was watching both at the same time as a young kid. Actually started watching the Simpsons before Rugrats and Nickelodeon.
@@Bartonovich52 Most of the time, the kids send each other messages through WhattsApp while sitting next to each other. At least you can start a normal conversation while staring at a TV screen.
Old people have a tendency of being adverse to technology and claiming things were better back then, but this is another example of something that was bad back then, and now it's even worse. People are comparing this to iPads and CZcams Kids, but at least television has standards, unlike CZcams Kids, television channels won't just show South Park to kids thanks to faulty machine learning or show these gross Elsa videos.
If someone wrote a skit like this today,the tv would be replaced by an iPad with CZcams kids playing on it. Technology changes, but irresponsible parents don’t.
If you think playing Pokemon at 10 years old was as damaging to my mental health as giving a toddler the power of youtube, google and algorithms your perspective is off.
Not my comment, but worth reposting: "Why did the Baby Boomers become so narcissistic? They were the first or second generation abandoned by parents to daycare and public school. Being abandoned and discarded by parents produces a strong existential anxiety. The normal response it to extremely overestimate one's own value to compensate for not being valued at all. Parents were usually getting drunk as a skunk and told the kids to STFU and go watch TV which they did as their primary activity. The Boomers were taking in more J...sh propaganda than any other generation. Imagine 2-5 hours gay J.. propaganda for decades. All Boomers can sing you the "jingles" from TV commercials from a long time ago. As kids they were told to get under their school desk and kiss their ass goodbye. The world was going to explode from hoax nuclear bombs any minute. Then they became parents and repeated every possible mistake they could. Given all these forces, being hated by their parents, propagandized to shit, and taking an enormous amount of pharmaceutical drugs has obliterated their minds. They really would not know or care about anything real. They're on some other world pondering TV show plots policing the young about decades old sentiments." On aside, the video *"The Great Boomer Deception"* by Black Pilled is worth a watch
um...you were likely the parent or the kid of this episode its from 30 years ago but um...kids have ALWAYS grown up to be losers/violent hell in the past beating your wife drunk was seen as well wife should not have given the man lip
I went to go watch Simpsons from the very beginning (including the Tracy Ullman shorts) after watching through Season 1 of Disenchantment, back when that was the only season out. I nearly shat the bed when I saw Elfo here. Of all the Simpsons to stick with me over nearly 3 decades, I do NOT remember the elves. Makes you wonder when Matt Groening will bring back the Life in Hell rabbits.
This Ep was strange because it's a prime example of very early season weirdness I think they were teasing at a very early point in the show that Marge was a Self Destructive Alcoholic. This is never touched up on after this Ep. Funnily enough, they would make this Lois's character in Family Guy countless seasons later where they do the whole bit where Lois can't function unless she's hammered
When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement. He ran the last leg for his team - and came away the fastest runner of the day, and made up considerable distance to win. This video made me think of that day. How I wish I had been able to see it, instead of only hear and read about it. I was a single mom and had to work. My son was an amazing athlete. ❤️
That's how I was raised and I turned out TV.

The only TV I had was PBS and some other public stations.
I was raised on the simpsons
@@WasatchWind pbs sucks
Just wait till they realize that this broadcast of "The Happy Little Elves Meet Fuzzy Snuggleduck" is followed by "The Erotic Awakening of S".
🤣🤣🤣

This is the best obscure Simpsons reference I have ever seen
This is pure gold
just wait until midnight than all children television chanels show only infomercials until 6 am
What this scene really needed was a cameo of a celebrity.
yeah for real, what even is on the tv? should have been like justin bieber or kesha, otherwise i literally cant comprehend whats going on!
It's also lacking Lisa explaining to the audience why this is wrong! How can I learn morals if they are not directly told to me?
Smithers is gay!
"That's right, Lisa." "Gasp! [Celebrity]!"
Yeah we all miss when the Simpsons had charm. That horse is dead though
This is some super OG Simpsons
Yea, funny how the "Happy Little Elves" didn't last.
The best kind of Simpsons
This is practically Ullman Show Simpsons.
Season 1. I can't remember which episode this is but I remember some gag about jello at the beginning
Nvm the episode is right in the description lol
And that is why when Maggie was once asked to come to the one she loved best by Bart..... she chose the TV.
Kids need the inspirational example of the Christmas Hobgoblins early in life.
Elfos first canon appearance
Hi, I’m Elfo! 👋
I was looking for such a comment
Thank you, was looking for this
It's 11 o' clock. Are your children supervised?
I told you last night, no!
Not anymore. The news is on now. The spell is broken.
@@davidker8820 Where is Bart, anyway? His dinner's getting all cold and eaten.
I love these old episodes. The good ol days
Yes a thousand times yes.
‘Aye!
I love the background character designs
modern version: leaves youtube on with children's auto-recommendations running (baaad idea)
These days parents turn on Cocomelon. Kids turn in to instant zombies.
Amazing! I’ve never heard of this coco melon before this very second.
Oh no don't remind me of that.
The more things change, huh?
OMG, yes. My nieces love that.
Every generation of television has had its "Cocomelon".
That's what the elves on TV were supposed to be.
and then they'd be like kids and their technology
i was raised by a tv now im a computer
She’d be so proud.

Gooble gobble! Gooble gobble!
before then it was the Happy Little Elves to mollify the children, in my time it was The Simpsons to mollify the children
60’s -90’s kids know this very well.
Now parents just hand their kids iPads. Same shit different tech lol
And then people apparently decided to raise their children this way.
Season 1 is so weirdly defamiliarized
The character designs are probably the most interesting and memorable in the series during the first seasons tho
Very refreshing
Matt Groening has said it’s because they didn’t know what they were doing.
@@BluestSoldier Probably partly because the first three seasons were by Klassky-Csupo Studios. They also did Rugrats and Duckman.
@@uknownada Wow, really? I never knew that. It's funny I was watching both at the same time as a young kid. Actually started watching the Simpsons before Rugrats and Nickelodeon.
Shockingly true
TV suggesting parents get TV to watch their kids.
This is now changed from TV to iPhones
Sad but true
At least iPhones require some interaction rather than staring mindlessly at a screen.
yeah dude pay more respect my grandfather was an iphone
@@Bartonovich52 Most of the time, the kids send each other messages through WhattsApp while sitting next to each other.

@@Bartonovich52 True, but consider the counterpoint: predators can't directly groom your children through a TV show

@UCHPT6cwrujRpZaV_mDr7yhA I know, the Simpsons are still popular, but in the 1990s, is was way, way more popular.
Green Butter is running late...
If someone wrote a skit like this today,the tv would be replaced by an iPad with CZcams kids playing on it.
Technology changes, but irresponsible parents don’t.
People like that are fucking stupid, also without any patience and time-wasters
No, it would still be a TV, just with a Roku or the like hooked up to it. Way too many kids for an iPad to work.
True. I’d hate to see how my nephew would grow up.
I work in a supermarket and I have honestly seen a parent calm down a crying baby by turning on CZcams on their phone and handing it to them
My thoughts exactly!
That's how I was raised
and i turned out tv
The first appearance of Elfo.
Today it would be an ipad each instead of a TV
*hugs the tv*
Parenting 101. Then as they get older its video games. Nowadays you carry the screen with you in the palm of your hand
Yes. I was born with a Gameboy in hand
Kids are more stupid
@@rupertperiwinkle4477 I think people just forgot they're supposed to teach them.

Modern parenting in a nutshell. Then when their kids grow up to be losers and/or violent they blame video games. -_-
this episode is literally from 30 years ago

And all the kids ran out onto the road and died!
