I swear to God, "Is it about my cube?" is one of the best examples of situational comedy ever written. It cracks me up every time! The way Burns just asks so earnestly and ignorantly about his crushed car, lmao.
He was getting more and more annoyed throughout until the end when the phone call interrupted his fuming. Then he remembered to ask about his cube because that's what he knew he owned at that point. It was so great at showing his age, and that he would only follow what his assistant told him.
It caught me so off guard - I was already thinking about how the "you have 30 minutes to move your cube" is great writing that always gets me, then they came back with another one. People talk about jokes per minute all the time but what's really great about them is the *good* jokes per minute.
"Oh, egads! My breakfast is ruined! ... But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Oh ho ho. Delightfully devilish, Homer."
David Dalziel Mr Burns:Ah..... 🎶Homer with his crazy explanations!Mr Burns is gonna need his medication when he hears Homer’s lame exaggerations they’ll be trouble in town tonight!🎶 Mr Burns:HOMER!
Burns responding "I believe I'll get up" is even funnier with him saying it just before saying "I think I'll go with the fangs today". Both of those lines would've still been funny on their own but not as. They were meant to go together
Mr. Burns is one of the most evil characters on this show, but is still somehow very tolerant/forgiving of mistakes, even more so than real people in lower level management.
the real-life explanation would be hard to use them as a character if you fire is Homer and don't hire him back. in Universe explanation (Smithers, I keep my friends close and my enemy's closer)-Mr. Burns
@@damirbabic8168 The real life explanation is that Burns surprisingly treats his employees well. They get Donuts everyday, exercise as a group, company nights at the ball park, ... yeah, its not that bad working for Mr. Burns at Springfield Nuclear.
@@IDBTitanosaurus That's because he wants to make sure they have a reason not to quit thus costing him losing money because no workers equals no more money. So it's not from kindness it's legit called being pragmatic and practical, someone who's obsessed with making money obviously would do things to make sure their workers have incentive to stay and keep their money flow going. It is also why realistically most movie mob bosses who threaten, bully and constantly kill their own goons over minor errors would ultimately end being assassinated at some point by vengeful goons or they would secretly betray him because why would any sane person want to work for a psycho for money? Money ain't good for taking home if you get killed over breaking a vase by accident.
@@dewolf123 Well I dare you to work in a real big company/factory. Because we don't get half the stuff Burns does. We only get the paycheck and that's it. No treat, nothing
not gonna lie that is one of the most predictable number I have ever seen, the distance between the two number is only one number apart. And if the number has more than two digit, putting zero is the most cliche move to signifies its enormity.
You gotta give Homer credit. When Smithers has him fill in for him he is working more harder than ever did. I mean yeah he screws up all the time but it's still more work than his usual sleeping at his work station.
It seems like Homer wants to be good at his job, but he was never trained to do it. He screws up only because nobody explained to him what his tasks are. It would be like aliens telling you to fly their spaceship.
@@cbushin Even if he was trained and it was explained to him, which it was. he wouldn't pay attention or would just nod in agreeement without really understanding anything understanding
Syuna it may get a laugh or two but it’s more forced and in the first ten seasons they were able to come up with more bits that went well with the flow and they have just run out of those kind of jokes
Well, given that Mr. Burns is impossibly old, the fact that he refers to donuts as "ethnic food" may in all reality be factually permissible. The donut we all know and love today, began with the first Dutch settlers in New England, circa 1640. The then occasional delicacy consisted of crude dough, nuts, (cashews, walnuts), and sliced fruit placed on top. This was history's FIRST donut, (or at least Caucasoid North America's first). -- Mr. Burns was likely one of those early New World pioneers appropriating a cultural delicacy from 17th century Netherlands.
I didn't know about the Dutch origin, thanks. I do know that most every Southern / Eastern European culture has some sort of deep fried & sugared dough ball or patty, & in Mr Burns formative years, say, pre WW1, there weren't many of those folks in the USA, he would thus consider Donuts, fried dough balls, to be "Ethnic"
@masakasama OK I figured "donuts" / "doughnuts" got popularized after WW1. Wikipedia is my friend lol. Also, I think you mean "20th Century" (that always confuses me too, the "century" refers to the 100 years prior). Also also keep in mind The Simpsons started in 1989/1990/1991 so Mr Burns' childhood being prior to WW1 would not have been unusual at that time. Both my grandparents on my Dad's side were born just before 1900 & they were alive at that time.
@@sideshowbob No, he meant the mid-19th century. "Dr. Mullins traces the arrival of the modern doughnut to American shores to the early 18th century when the Dutch pastry, olykoek, began to appear in New York and other cities. The first cookbook mentioning doughnuts was an 1803 English volume which included doughnuts in an appendix of American recipes. By the mid-19th century the doughnut looked and tasted like today's doughnut and was viewed as a thoroughly American food." ( www.newswise.com/articles/glazed-america-anthropologist-examines-doughnut-as-symbol-of-consumer-culture ) Furthermore, according to basically every other article cited on the wikipedia article, it was the mid-19th century, with one specifying the specific year of 1847. "The Dutch solution to the gooey, uncooked center of the doughnut was to stuff it with fillings that did not require cooking but Hansen Gregory, an American ship captain, had another solution. In 1847 Gregory punched a hole in the center of the dough ball before frying. The hole increased the surface area, exposure to the hot oil, and therefore eliminated the uncooked center." ( www.thespruceeats.com/the-history-of-doughnuts-1328766 ) Automation came after WW1, but that doesn't mean it was popularized after WW1. Plenty of things were popular and "American" before automation though.
First he's upset over the fact that his car has been threatened to move, then he slowly realizes that Homer was way too slow to deliver to him the news and slowly becomes more and more upset over Homer's incompetence before wondering about his car-now-turned-cube.
I think this is my all time favourite episode. I know it's not exactly the most sophisticated bit of humour, but the way the cornflakes immediately catch on fire, and Homer's reaction, never fails to make me laugh.
*homer eats fruit out of a basket sent to him by mr. smithers* bart:"what did you get that for?" homer:"for knocking mr. burns out of a third-story window." bart:"makes sense to me." lisa:"did he die?" homer:"what am i, a doctor?"
This has to be one of the most solid 104 seconds in the history of comedy. So many jokes packed into such a short time frame, and all of them land perfectly. Man, Simpsons in its prime just couldn't be beat. Such a shame what Matt Groening and Fox have let it become.
I'd like to report that in the 30 or so years I've been eating such a breakfast, I've never had such an issue. :) That being said, with the way the world is currently going (and my life to a much lesser extent), self-combusting food would rank low on my list of concerns... Unless, of course, it were to result in the faster reduction in available food--in which case, yes, we'd definitely have a problem... ^^
+James Clayton That is a great bit, and one that I love referencing with my friends. However, I disagree. When the leaf gently floats on top of the dilapidated and on brick school bus, and the school bus explodes. That's the best simpsons bit ever (in my opinion of course).

The old animation style was so underrated by the jackasses who decided to change it. Just look at how Burns' eyes change expression with each line about his car Homer reads. That ALONE makes me laugh more than the modern show.
The stocks joke is the best for me because he goes from having no idea what Burns is on about to 100% confident that his only options are get up or go back to sleep. Brilliant
Homer actually put together a pretty good report on the accounting department. It just wasn't what Burns wanted specifically, the man should learn to be more straightforward
Rijkaard In the simpler context, he knew what it meant. He assumed that Burns meant his immediate, on-the-spot options, which really were "get up" or "go back to sleep".
Jovana Sanchez There's a pretty clear distinction between the dumb Homer we see here and the retarded one in later seasons. The joke in this scene is simply that Homer is a failure at everything and can't perform a simply task like making breakfast. The cereal catching on fire is just a surreal punchline to accentuate this. You laugh because "lol how did he mess up cereal?" not "haha, Homer's so dumb".
He tried to grill a raw egg on a kebab skewer.. and use the microwave by smashing the glass and sticking his hand in. You really chose the wrong 'old Simpsons' clip to make your point here.
“I asked for _light starch_ on my nightcap!” **pokes Homer with nightcap** “You call this ‘Postum’!?” **throws drink in Homer’s face** “You call _this_ a ‘tax return’!?” **knocks over pile of papers** “You call THIS a ‘Super Computer’!?” **smacks “CRAY” hard drive with a cane** “You’re a travesty, of a joke, of an assistant!” **throws stuff at Homer**
The expansive genius of The Simpsons in under 2 minutes. The corn flakes gag floored me as a 10 year old (and still gets a chuckle out of me at 37). Then the more adult subtlety of the “what about my options?” bit. And to top it all off, the age-transcending brilliance of “is it about my cube?”. Unreal.

Homer sitting at the desk staring into space is absolutely hilarious to me, and it’s probably the 637th most funny moment of the episode
Im from Chile and i'm really enjoy have watched episodes simpsons in english. I love how burns says 'Simpsons! "
I like burns his expression changing while homer reads the messages 😂
The way Mr. Burns facial expressions change during the scene about his car are just genius
'Is it about my cube?'
"Hello! My name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a package for me!..."
"Ok, and what's your first name Mr. Burns?"
"I.. don't know."
"Is it about my cube?" made me crack up so unreasonably hard, I don't know why
Don't worry it does the same thing to me. It's the look of sincere inquiry on his face at the last moment that really sells it, I believe lol
You know you're a bad cook when the bowl of cornflakes catch fire
Homer should have made his "Patented Space Age Out-Of-This-World Moon Waffles".
The funniest part to me is that after the car is crushed into a cube, it has clearly then been placed right back to where it's blocking traffic.
Everyone knows corn flakes combined with milk is highly flammable.
You mean inflammable
@@Chiko-sc1gz Inflammable means flammable? What a country! - Dr. Nick.
I love how little strength it took Homer to break the window of the microwave. 😆
1:06 i love how Homer never has a chest pocket except for that one scene, where he takes out the report 😃
the annoyed grunt at the burning corn flakes lmfao
"is it about my cube?" 😂
"Hmmm... I believe I'll get up"
Chorus: "Homer with his crazy explanations. Old Man Burns is gonna need his medication. When he hears Homer's lame exaggerations, there'll be trouble in town tonight!"
Mr. Burns: "SIMPSON!!!"
0:30 Even the cereal lit on fire. 😂😭
"One of these must be a breakfast maker" - famous last words
This is not homer being lazy. He is truly putting his all into it, trying the best he can. But as a flawed creature, he doesn’t live up to the expectations of the world.
"The Accounting Department is located on the third floor, it's hours are 9am to 5pm...."
well Burns did ask for a Report ON the Accounting department 🤣🤣
“You know I don’t like ethnic food!”
