Sadly, $2 in 1997 is only $3.81 in today's money. Had this been a season one episode in 1989, it would have been worth $4.93 though. So, obviously we should split the difference and pretend it aired in 1995 and that it is worth $4.01 now, right? Well, as it's nearing the end of 2023, all these worthless calculations are about to expire.

I don't think anyone can accuse Homer of being lazy. He had to re-position the platforms several times in one afternoon...he brings one UP the stairs for his first demonstration, then he takes it DOWN again to put it at the fridge, then UP again to put it in the bathroom (since he seems to shout to the toplevel at Lisa) only for BOTH to end up in the kitchen. He carried one of them up and down twice! And they don't look particularly weightless. Unless Marge had to carry it...
I don't know what's funnier: That Homer offered him 35 cents, despite it saying 2 dollars or that Frink decided to sell it for such a cheap price, despite it being one of his greatest inventions. xD
Either Homer was trying to downplay the usefulness of the machine in order to get a cheaper price or he's so ignorant that he doesn't know what matter is and pretends to have a grasp of the situation.
One of my favourite "screw the audience" jokes: Homer making a disgusted-sounding noise after drinking the cat ear medicine and then it's revealed he actually likes it
The best one is the school bus crashing into the highly unstable American Civil War cannon. "Of course, for safety reasons, we don't keep the cannon loaded. That's just common sense."
Maybe Homer would then chase Lenny and Carl around with an axe as they would end up messing with it. If Homer was willing to do that to his son Bart over that, there's no telling what he'd be willing to do to them over that.
Let's say that moving the machine is a 10 on the effort scale, while getting a snack is a 1. That means that moving the machine once is less effort than getting a snack 11 times.
The most amusing part of Lisa getting hit to me is that, not only was it directly in front of the toilet so she either stuck her head over to look in the transporter or decided to use the toilet despite the transporter being right there, but Homer specifically put it into the bathroom connected to his and Marge's room, not the hall one the kids usually use so Lisa has even less reason to be there lol
Professor Frink was brilliant enough to build a two-way matter transporter, but apparently he didn't think that maybe installing a door and a button to transport stuff manually on it would be a very good idea.
For some reason, the funniest part for me is that the thing is just the most unwieldly size and shape for using it around the house, and yet he's so entertained by the novelty of having a teleporter in the house, that he doesn't even think about using it effectively, like leaving one half at work and the other half in the garage.
Floyd: "What is my purpose?" Prof. Fink: "You were designed for scrubbing and scrubbing is what you shall do." Floyd: "Oh my God." Prof. Fink: "Yeah. Welcome to the club, pal."
I love how Homer says "It only transports matter" like he's disappointed it doesn't also transport energy (admittedly that would be an improvement on the technology)
I don’t know if the Scientist is smart for inventing a teleportation device, or if he’s dumb for selling it for $2.00 but instead gets 35 cents for it.
Considering how much some scientists in history got paid for their revolutionary inventions... 0.35$ for a teleporter isn't even satire. Just look at H. Tracy Hall who invented synthetic diamonds and made General Electric billions of dollars in profits, while he got rewarded with 10$ savings bond.
In my pantry closet I sometimes keep the grape juice next to the dishwashing detergent when there is no more space in the grape juice place. And like some people said, some medicines need to be kept in the fridge (like vaccines).
It's a classic bit, like when Donald reaches for the Baking Powder and accidentally grabs the Rubber Cement. The entire cartoon wouldn't exist if he had just used the right ingredients. However, the Simpsons subverted expectations by having no ill effects happen whatsoever... also I think it says something about the taste of beer.
Ever since I was a kid I've said "Goodnight, LOSERS" to my friends, I only just realised I got it from this 🤣 That's how much the Simpsons is in my subconscious.
Why doesn’t Homer just put his head through the transporter when it’s next to the fridge? And why doesn’t he just step through it when it’s next to the toilet? That way he could see what he was doing.

$2.00 for a teleporter like that might seem cheap, but remember this came out a while ago. That's equivalent to about $4 in today's money.

did he actually carry them or did he bribe the cartoonists to draw them there??
It's simple. He used the matter transporter to take them up and down.
You see Homer moving two. so I would assume it's Homer moving them....
@A D I'm sure Homer disassembling and reassembling the matter transporter couldn't possibly result in anything going wrong

The Simpsons has always been great at the double-subversion.
"If only your father were still here... but he left for work an hour ago."
reminds me of ewwww i will take the crab juice
The best one is the school bus crashing into the highly unstable American Civil War cannon. "Of course, for safety reasons, we don't keep the cannon loaded. That's just common sense."
OHHHHH MAN. THAT'S GOOD. CAT EAR CLEANER
...or it's an observation of how shit American beer is.
He could've just put one of the transporters at his work or Moe's tavern
They might have limited range.
Great way to prevent drunk driving.
Great way foe Moe to have access to the Simpsons house
Ahhhhh that is a super idea😃👍
Maybe Homer would then chase Lenny and Carl around with an axe as they would end up messing with it. If Homer was willing to do that to his son Bart over that, there's no telling what he'd be willing to do to them over that.
he'll put in a lot of effort to move that thing around, but won't put in the minor effort do the actual task
Putting in more effort to avoid doing something than it would take to actually do the thing is a rather common thing that people, err, do!
Let's say that moving the machine is a 10 on the effort scale, while getting a snack is a 1. That means that moving the machine once is less effort than getting a snack 11 times.
Why would he move it around? He has a matter transporter!
I didn't know cat ear medicine came in aluminium cans.
And was so delicious
It does for plot purposes
and can be stored in the fridge
Well... Most eye and ear medicines do actually need to be refrigerated. Lol.
Yea so that implies that you have to use an entire can's worth of medicine each time.
The most amusing part of Lisa getting hit to me is that, not only was it directly in front of the toilet so she either stuck her head over to look in the transporter or decided to use the toilet despite the transporter being right there, but Homer specifically put it into the bathroom connected to his and Marge's room, not the hall one the kids usually use so Lisa has even less reason to be there lol
Also if she was on toilet and marge didn't stop homer.
uhh 2 bucks..... ummm uhh.... and it only transports Matter.....uhhh well...ill Give you 35 Cents' LOOOL

A matter transporter would be nice would get amazon package in a few min
Homer is me when I used to bid on eBay.
Matter makes up only 5% of the universe
@@aluyulf WHAT ELSE CAN WE TRANSPORT HERE ON EARTH? THAT'S WHY THIS IS SO FUNNY?
So Lisa saw the transporter positioned right there, and decided to go ahead and clamber around it to sit on the toilet, facing the device?
Yeah she was probably just like "this is a weird house, just 10 more years"
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
Technically accurate is the best kind of accuracy.
Great futarama line too
In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

Yup.

Wasn't that the same robot that was designed to feel pain?
The pain he feels is the pain of only being a floor scrubber
For some reason, the funniest part for me is that the thing is just the most unwieldly size and shape for using it around the house, and yet he's so entertained by the novelty of having a teleporter in the house, that he doesn't even think about using it effectively, like leaving one half at work and the other half in the garage.
It's relatable though. Who hasn't gotten really overexcited by a new gadget at least once?
The problem with putting it somewhere else is that other people could suddenly start showing up in your house.
Only problem is that the transporters are only useful where they are for as long as the user needs to be at said "where"
Like Homer ever goes to work.
It's Homer, he'd never leave it at work, as he never goes there. He'd most likely leave it at Moes.
"Kablamo!"
"Ow! Someone just punched me in the face!"
"Was your mother!"
Lol, I love that part!
1:35 I like how he moved the transporter into the bathroom and fucking WALKED back to the other one to use it.
thats the point.
Poor Floyd he was so close
Floyd: "What is my purpose?"
Prof. Fink: "You were designed for scrubbing and scrubbing is what you shall do."
Floyd: "Oh my God."
Prof. Fink: "Yeah. Welcome to the club, pal."

Another Simpsons already did it. Sentient Robot before Rick & Morty butter dish. Super-powered science Yard Sale before Venture Brothers.
Technically they all copied it from The Simpsons. Goodnight loserz
I'll bet the guy from Depeche Mode visited his yard sale too.
The Simpsons used to be a highly sophistimacated doo-wacky. Nowadays, ka-blammo! The drop in quality punches us in the face.
He just punched his daughter while she was on the can. Talk about a concentration breaker
"2 bucks... And it only transports matter.. Uuuh, I'll give you 35 cents"
I take it from that little impressed noise...
The recyclable metal is worth more than what he paid for.
I don’t know if the Scientist is smart for inventing a teleportation device, or if he’s dumb for selling it for $2.00 but instead gets 35 cents for it.
At least he didn't go into it with anything else.
Remember "The Fly"?
In the next scene, Bart uses it without permission and literally becomes the fly, so yes, relevant.
