Fun fact: Terror Lake is actually named after the Battle of Lake Trasimene, where Hannibal caused the romans to make a terrified retread into the lake where many of them drowned.
Well, Hannibal was a strategic genius and perhaps some of the residents of Terror Lake are of Punic (Tunisia, Libya) descent and felt the need to celebrate his accomplishments.
"Surely, there's no harm in laying in the middle of a public street" I remember watching this episode for the first time and expected him to get run over, but the parade celebrating a 2000 year old military feat was way better

@@seriousbusiness2293 erm no. a skull does not grow stronger when crushed. quite the opposite actually. in his case i would have to assume that his head bones are more like powder held in place by flesh.
0:18 You as a man of culture with a considerable history in the entertainment world Bob should know that musicians (including though not limited to marching bands) can't just stop every time someone lies in the middle of the street. The show much go on!
I'd love to see sideshow bob, attempting to intimidate bart then he gets caught in the middle of 2 groups of people who are about to attack each other.. Sideshow bob attempts to avoid getting caught but gets hit and knocked out by projectiles thrown by various members of the two conflicting groups, then he gets stomped on or punched by any of the people involved in the conflict.
Bob is a man who sticks to his principles. He has a right to lie in the street to intimidate Bart, he's gonna lie in that street to intimidate Bart come what may.
I just love how the people in the parade conveniently fail to notice him there. Would also have been even better had the parade been longer with floats or somthing.
How about if sideshow Bob is standing in the middle of a military parade, gets knocked down the ground through any means then gets trampled by marching soldiers and then gets ran over by tanks and still survives
Ah that works on so many levels. -Kelsey Grammer's performance for one -The fact that the entire parade is totally unaware that they are trampling a person lying in the street. -A random town in America is having a "Hannibal marching across the Alps" salute parade
lol - so random that a small US town in the middle of nowhere having a huge celebration about a Roman general most people never heard of (the Hannibal name now associated to someone else) Also the beginning animation of Bart walking and staring at his apple is just so subtly wholesome for some reason and adds to his character
Hannibal was Carthaginian not Roman. Hannibal's crossing of the Alps: Hannibal's crossing of the Alps in 218 BC was one of the major events of the Second Punic War, and one of the most celebrated achievements of any military force in ancient warfare.[2] Hannibal lead his Carthaginian army over the Alps and into Italy to take the war directly to the Roman Republic, bypassing Roman and allied land garrisons, and Roman naval dominance.
Bob must have had some really strong bones to withstand being trampled by elephants "Not the elephants urgh" the highlight of the episode next to the rakes scene. Never gets old.
How durable is this guy, getting marched on by a whole parade of people, then taking on a bunch of elephants, then getting back up like he has no broken bones later.
You think they cut away so as not to show the violence of Bob getting trampled by elephants, but at the last moment they cut to Bob's skull being inverted by the last elephant. :D
@@molleestextingstories9063 I like sideshow bob because he's funny - like with the rakes......and I like his hair. (I like palm trees) But I hate him too because he's evil and an attempted killer.
We should also apprieciate how inexplicable that Terror Lake celebrates Hannibal crossing the Alps with a parade. Strangely appropriate considering... well, elephants.
A whole elephant for "the" will always be funny
And your grammar is less repetitive.
Lies again? Nashville Dallas Black Red
The elephant, the.
moood
And then another whole elephant for Alps
Apparently Terror Lake feels the need to celebrate the Punic Wars for some reason.
It would make a lot more sense if they were in Hannibal, Missouri.
Fun fact: Terror Lake is actually named after the Battle of Lake Trasimene, where Hannibal caused the romans to make a terrified retread into the lake where many of them drowned.
Well, they needed to get some use out of those elephants.
@@Popepaladin holy crap that never once crossed my mind, despite being a big nerd in Roman history. Great catch

Think again sideshow bob. There's always danger on the road
Famous last words
He's as unfortunate as the coyote by jus saying that

The fact that the parade _knowingly_ trampled Bob is priceless.

The creators in The Simpsons' commentary said the same thing.
Always loved how the marching band waits until they're almost right on top of Bob to start playing.

They were already playing, they were just moving faster than the speed of sound

I love how happy the first elephant looks to be participating in a parade
While each one that passes afterwards looks more and more depressed.
The first elephant's probably just forcing happiness at the trainers’ command
"Why didn't he move?"
He DID just take a blow to the head by a moving car.
One of the best jokes I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying.
I too,
The best part is the elephant who just has a sign that says "THE". LOL!!!
To this day we will never know why Bob never just moved out of the way before the parade hit him.
he did not have enough time

Sideshow bob attempts to avoid getting caught but gets hit and knocked out by projectiles thrown by various members of the two conflicting groups, then he gets stomped on or punched by any of the people involved in the conflict.

"These Springfield roads are in terrible condition. Bumpy as all get out!"
I’ve always thought that the Punic Wars never get any representation in modern days. Good on Terror Lake.

And this is why you shouldn't lie in the middle of a public street, kids.

He was one of Rome's greatest enemies in its entire history

Without doubt the finest Simpsons episode ever. Every part was memorable, on point and hilarious.
I just love his little holder for his books
That’s what happens when you lay in the middle of the street.
Now we know what happened to the Carthaginians, they settled in Terror Lake
How durable is this guy, getting marched on by a whole parade of people, then taking on a bunch of elephants, then getting back up like he has no broken bones later.
Fortunate man, elefants known for crushing skulls. Long before hannibal's time.
Fucking love how The Simpsons use to have layered jokes like this.
I gotta salute the professionalism of that marching band. They didn't break formation or hit a single wrong note even when stomping over a human body
Sideshow Bob suffers more because someone decided that two elephants should say "THE ALPS" rather than just one! :)
Sideshow Bob is lucky that no one decided to have Terror Lake on two elephants rather than one they decided.
