No show (animated series/movie) comes remotely close to how exceptionally pointless yet tacitly familiar the Larry Burns episode is.

This is why The Simpsons will always remain popular; they're not drowned in oceans of impressiveness or randomness or utterly meaningless low-brow toilet humor (like Rick and Morty) - Again, Semper Fudge, Rogney Dangerfield; you will always and forever, make with the yakety yak yak.
"At that time, I understood a lot of the nuanced jokes that The Simpsons made...hysterically-nothing phrases like walking mailbox and Chinese motorcycle" Yeah, you didn't understand when you were 15 or when you posted the comment. It's a walk-in mailbox. And the "Chinese motorcycle" joke just means Chinese-made motorcycles are poorly made. Even "stressed out pepsi bottles", I know he pronounces it like that but it's obviously STRETCHED out. What joke did you think you were getting, that Larry Burns just speaks in word salads all the time? He's not Homsar.
One of the hallmarks of the Golden Age of Simpsons: when celebrity guest stars performed original characters instead of merely making promotional cameos.
Like everything else on the show during the golden age, the unique aspects that made them hugely popular were eventually overexploited. Genuinely talented and famous actors used to ASK to play original characters on the Simpsons out of appreciation for the show. The fact that they were actual roles and not merely cameos made it genuinely entertaining. Unfortunately, this quickly turned into "getting on the Simpsons is a status symbol", and FOX turned it from an artist's collaboration into a monetized promotional tool. Your agent pays Mike Scully, and we write you into an episode. This started out as somewhat cute and over the course of just 1 season ended up with the fam fighting an alligator at Spring Break with Kid Rock & Joe C. End of golden age.
@@harveywallbanger3123 Well said, and very informative... and depressing. That was about the point that my family and I stopped watching the show. I remember someone saying "every episode is just an excuse for them to meet celebrities now, that's why I got bored with it".
@@katietaylor8314 It was still alright in the early 2000's but then the film came out and the series just ran out of ideas and just stopped caring, I do not know why they do not just drop it as Sam Simon is dead and so is Marcia Wallace plus there are no more ideas they can do.
@@abullmoose4854 It was a "nod" - everybody knew it was Dangerfield, but he played an original character because that's humble and doesn't undermine the in-universe aspect. Dustin Hoffman did the same thing as Mr. Bergstrom. The moment a celebrity appears as themselves in the Simpsons, the episode becomes 100% about them, which is what they (and their agent) were willing to pay for in the first place. Sad.
Yeah. And why didn't Larry tell Burns in that earlier scene that he had a wife and kids? All Larry said in that scene was "I was at the orphanage til I was 18, and I then got my job at the souvenir stand and had that ever since. And once I saw a blimp". Why'd he leave out about having a wife and kids? He must've really not cared about them. I mean he left them to spend that week with Burns and Homer but told them he was only going for coffee.
Unfortunately, many years from now, kids are going to think that it was due to a typo (the letter Y is right below 6), which would make this joke lose all of its magic :(
There have been people that impersonated Rodney when voicing characters. Brad Garrett did it in Where's Waldo as Whitebeard and both SpongeBob SquarePants projects as the Kraken.
"But now it's falling apart like a Chinese motorcycle." God bless Rodney Dangerfield. Dude must've gave himself 2nd degree burns from all of that roasting.
@@harveywallbanger3123 yep, lol, Larry is. And Mr Burns is the only 1st degree Burns, although he can damage you as much as 3rd degree burns. They should've had that joke in an episode
He's actually pretty crafty. Marge was getting pissed off at his influence over her kids taking the piss out of her and he could read this knowing she was about to turn on him so he quickly distracted her and deflected her attention with some easy praise and flattery.
When someone sincerely does that, it's pretty annoying and disingenuous though. I'd hope not to encounter someone like that outside a stand-up comedy routine.
"Is every drifter we meet going to move in with us?" "Of course not! We'll decide that on a drifter by drifter basis." I hope we're not losing sight of this GEM in amongst all the outstanding Rodney Dangerfield lines.
Oh, we are not. The way Homer just immediately denies what Marge is saying in such a calm and happy way. It's like the scene in S08E03: "You love high tech gadgets!" "No I don't" "Like bull you don't, cmon!" "Homer please you're hurting my arm" "*chuckles* No I'm not!"
"So did you meet Larry?" "Oh yes. He made light of my weight problem, then suggested my motto should be 'Semper Fudge'. At which point he told me to 'Relax'." "How were his test scores?" "Well let's just say this, he spelled Yale with a 6." That has always been my favorite exchange from the episode.
Larry was cool. And funny. His laughing while Homer talkquacks, and his joke "If things get any livelier here, a funeral will break out, or his joke about Marge's hair, or saying everything's falling apart like a Chinese motorcycle. One joke though that I never heard right that even the captions can't get straight because they've mentioned both things: does Larry say "I've never seen a house with a walking mailbox before" or "..a house with a walk-in mailbox before"? Both could work because Burns is so rich that he could have a mailbox so big that you can walk into it, but he's also so rich that he could have a mailbox that walks to the door, like a robot.
@David Shaw Everything. They have incredibly poor build quality. I know mechanics who refuse to work on them because they create more problems when trying to fix them.

@Commander Keen Just look at him! I'm not saying this applies to all characters based on real people (Ryder looks like Eazy-E but is voiced by MC Eiht), but his mannerisms, his attitude and personality, that scene where he's at the party with Homer (which reminds me of Back to School)...Larry Burns IS Rodney Dangerfield!
Love Bart pretending to adjust his tie, Dangerfield style, when making the gag about Marge's hair. Absolute attention to detail when writing comedy, folks. That's the key...

Back in the day celebrity guest stars actually got their own characters and well-written storylines. Now they just appear as themselves strictly for marquis value.
You'd have no idea, how many times I've traveled across American roads, and just yearned for something like a Larry Burns stand... just a stand that you can get something to remember your visit (??? -- I can't think of any memory where I remembered my expedition because I, or my parents, purchased something -- which is just, all the more, painfully realistic when a cartoon refers to that kind of thing). Not to mention the fact that it's like the most American thing to sell crap that's too nice for yu. The real stinger though, is that Larry, who looks like he lives in the heartland of America, is desperate (he needs a new pair of everything) and therefore he has to sell stuff he thinks tourists (rich Americans) would buy. -- This show...
Larry reminds me of a guy who use to have a home brew store near me. Top bloke! Always giving me beers, was great for a laugh and was super generous with his knowledge.
I love how the song Any way you want it from the band journey is playing at the end a nod to rodney dangerfield as Al Czervic in the movie Caddyshack (1980). Rest in peace Mr Dangerfield.
“If this gets any livelier a funeral’s gonna break out.” I could have used that line the other day in Chinese restaurant where we were the only people there.
It could be my all time favorite Simpsons joke out of the hundreds of favorites I already have but I may have figured out how to spell Yale with a 6. Ready? Yal6.

It's also a classic technique for stand-ups of Dangerfield's era, making sure the target of the joke knows it's all in good fun.
