Some corrections.
-Ralph's original appearance was in Moaning Lisa. The kid with the buzzcut and the purple sweater at the end of the episode was confirmed to be an early design of him on the DVD commentary (and on the Wiki page).
-Millhouse's first appearance was in a 1990 Butterfinger commercial (based off of the character from Matt Groening's failed 1988 pitch for a NBC Saturday morning cartoon)
-You also forgot Bill and Marty who appeared in Bart vs. Thanksgiving, the two reporter guys at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade who appear in 3 more episodes as far as I know.
Nicely done. I couldn't tell that this kid is indeed Ralph.
@@Teemu_V Yeah I can't blame you.
You should check out the early concept designs for other characters like Martin Prince, it's bizarre how different some of these characters looked before appearing on the show.
@@bombabombom3603 I agree with you with the points you made.
It is true how different many of the familiar characters looked early on, i.e. Lou was white, Barney had blonde hair instead of brown, Wiggum had brown hair instead of blue, etc. And voices were different, listening to Grampa's or Otto's in their season 1 appearances, and Lenny and Carl's voices were actually reversed in their first appearances in "Homer's night out".
And the way random characters looked were downright weird sometimes, see the guy at 8:14 (next to Lisa), and some of the guys in the crowd outside the plant (not shown in this video though), and both were in "Homer's Odyssey".
Alot of changes since season 1
Wrong relph firstm scene was Simpsons roasting on a open fire
@@asiea2179 In production order the Christmas Special was the last episode produced for the season, originally intended to air at the end of the year. Some Enchanted Evening was going to be the series premiere and was going to air in 1989 but the show had to undergo an emergency reworking and got pushed back almost an entire year where they had to air the Christmas show as the series premiere to make the '89 deadline.
A lot of the show's recognizable character designs and elements didn't take shape until late in the season.
And like I said, all you have to do is to do the simple research. I even mentioned the Wiki and DVD commentary as references so instead of blindly trying to correct me on face value, please do not make yourself look any further idiotic by not actually doing the research.
I love how the Simpson's house was originally an endless liminal maze of pink hallways that seemed like it took place in purgatory.
I never noticed that. Now I'll remember this comment each time I watch a really old episode (:
I think they brought this up a couple times with that mysterious rec room that cannot physically exist.
@@CamTheWarlock
It actually can exist. It’s location makes perfect sense within the layout of the house. It’s just that sometimes the door to it disappears. The room that cannot exist in the house is the basement. It makes no sense location-wise
If your talking about the beginning, it’s exact same layout just drawn without shadows
anyone remember the one time the house had a sauna?
It's weird that Homer talks differently but laughs the exact same way.
I was thinking the same thing!
Kinda creepy to me
Yeah. It caught me off guard!
I love the way Homer talks
Apparently Dan was trying to parody, actor Walter Mathau’s voice in the shorts, but he decided to change it later for the main series as the shorts version didn’t sit well with him.
13:56 that door simply disappeared lmao
@@EugeneOneguine bring it on.
And in the next shot it's here again, but closed.
@@ChuckRHG Oh, I didn't even see you were named FBI agent hahaha, okay then, you're clear.
it went to the back rooms
Hahahahhaha
I forgot how Bart use to be the "cool kid" and had quite a few friends before just having one friend. Lisa while still being shown as smart was still just one of the girls before they decided that her being smart was a good reason for all the other girls to bully her and her to not have any friends.
Apparently according to the commentary tracks, the toy manufacturers wanted more bullies for Bart and tried to deemphasize his friends
Yeah he had to many friends that had no overall value to plots. They were just random friend #1, random friend #2, Milhouse, random friend #3 and so on.
@@johncase1353 that being said South Park proved that Simpsons was lazy in that respect, there was never a reason to keep Jimbo and Nelson mean especially after they’re shown to have sympathetic backgrounds
@@KBzDvSt Whenever something bad happens to a franchise, it's always toy manufacturers or advertisers faults
@@BierBart12 Don't forget corporate meddling.
2:01 It's kind of odd hearing Bart call Homer dad, and Lisa calling him Homer.
Ye
Yeah. So many characters seemed to have reversed roles early on. In season 1 "No disgrace like home", Marge gets drunk and acts up while Homer struggles to keep everyone in order behaving. But most seasons after 1, we've come to know their roles reversed, Homer is the one who gets drunk and acts up while Marge tries to be orderly, such as at the party in "The war of the Simpsons", and also "The mysterious voyage of Homer".
In season 1 "Homer's night out", Lenny and Carl's voices were switched from what we came to know.
As for Bart and Lisa, their roles weren't switched where Bart was the moral one while Lisa was mischievous, Lisa was just mischievous too along with Bart.
Lisa literally never calls him by his real name. Except in Lisa's first word
Nope! It's too wiolent! Go do something else!
yeah
1:54 That time when the Simpson's home had infinite rooms
i just noticed that lol
Looks very Dr. Seuss.
or the backrooms
Oh god it’s cavernous lol
That room just has huge mirrors on both walls! 😂
I had no idea this iconic shot of Skinner was from his first appearance 4:10
Pathetic
Pathetic.
And he never says "pathetic" either
The original was a Evangelion meme
It's such a power move on his part 😂
I like how it's almost just playing season 1 in whole. Every character is a recurring character.
Even Lady Gaga?
@John Case from season 1 he means
@@johncase1353 yes
@@johncase1353 She's from the season 23 finale
And then speed run of the later seasons
Black Smithers and yellow Lou are just something mind bending
Early Installment Weirdness.
Black Smithers was actually a mistake rather than a redesign.
Also, Barney had yellow hair
@@TheTop909_JB_official yeah, didn’t notice it until I realized I saw it the first time before..
They traded pigments
If I remember correctly, Crusty was originally going be Homer in disguise. In that case, its sweet how the "random" audience kids he talks to are secretly his own kids
If you watch the short in its entirety, it does set up the (abandoned) plotline that Homer is Krusty. Bart spots the fake Krusty and it ends with Homer watching it on TV. Homers reaction is disappointment and not anger as if his ploy failed.
@@a.champagne6238 The problem is that, in this short, Homer is watching it happen on live tv, so it literally *cannot* be Homer.
@@geraldgottesman5931 which is why someone else is Krusty at the taping when Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are at the taping. It was supposed to be that Homer was secretly Krusty and that the kids weren't supposed to find out.
The abandoned Homer/Krusty arch was going to be that while Bart does not respect his father, his hero is actually his father in disguise. Homer and Krusty are drawn alike and are both voiced by Dan Castanaleta. This was put to use in the episode "Homie the Clown."
Also that Marge had rabbit ears under her beehive hair
I think it's neat how perfect Helen Lovejoy's first scene introduces her character.
Unlike most of the cast, Helen is fully formed and all her famous traits are laid out front and center.
The 30 year rivalry between her and Marge always amuses me.
Introducing herself as the gossip is lampshading/intentionally hacky dialogue-as-exposition
I know right
@@csurname It's probably a joke that she's such a gossip she's even outing herself as a gossip
“Goodbye, Helen!”
18:50 THE WAY HIS EYES DILATE LMAO
4:10 I love that his first introduction is the most iconic meme of him too
Yeah, was an unpathetic appearance !
@@EugeneOneguine That girl on the right looks a lot like Lisa Simpson, Did lisa clone herself? 34:37
>most iconic meme of him
steamed hams would like to have a work with you
@@ChunkyPhattz I mean it’s subjective I think both are iconic.
@@wessexfox5197both are very iconic i do agree, i wasn't being super serious
Notable things
0:00 - It’s funny how Homer’s first appearance voice sounds kind of off except for the laugh which sounds exactly right
1:43 - The infinite doorway in this scene is trippy
17:24 - You can tell Carl is voiced by the same voice actor as Flanders in this clip
OMG IT IS FLANDERS!
Lmfao the fifteen minute jump
@@Nova-vk5qb Max didnt rlly care about the rest.
12:31 has an animations error with Bleeding Gums Murphy
You didn't notice how some of the characters were blackwashed?
6:24 I kind of miss Otto’s old voice, it’s very clearly him but not cigarette chewing. I like how he has the same accent as Snake too lol
1:53 homer in the most gangster pose of his life
The way Homer stands in this picture is literally the most thug-gangster ass-shit like holy hell it's so badass
"He's a loser! He's pathetic! He's... a Simpson."
Surprisingly wholesome.
2:03 Kind of weird to hear Bart call Homer "Dad" and Lisa call him by his first name when both would go on to do the opposite
Yeah...
Tbf she was mad at him
43:23 I didn't know Chalmers debuted so late
He finally made it, despite Seymour's directions
@@amyelnah8717 he better be ready for an unforgettable luncheon
Unfortunately Seymour’s roast is ruined!
@@BRowserFilms17 But what if, he decided to purchase fast food and disguise it as his own cooking?
And he didn’t yell SKINNER!! 😔
it's nice to see how abe simpson retained his appearance from the shorts. The rest of the characters had their body size, shape, design and proportions altered drastically in some manner or another.
Hello yuki.
Black Smithers, Yellow Lou, Patty and Selma first appearing in a random crowd shot, Dolph and Jimbo have their voices sorta switched, Ralph who is actually competent, the fluctuating ethnicity of Judge Snyder, Dr Hibert before he laughed after every sentence.
I do love seeing them using the characters, even before they had them fleshed out. Seeing the characters grow and eventually fit into the moulds we all know them for.
yeah like I think disco stu was originally made just as a joke for that scene but they made him into a character
Waylon Smithers. Dude, what?
its mold not mould
@@AckzaTV I'm British. That's how we spell Mould. It's one of many small, weird linguistic differences.
@@ApetureTestSubject British just like wasting ink with unnecessary letters. And a weird fascination with inserting the letter u everywhere. 🙂
The old Simpsons was genuinely incredible.
It's crazy how almost every scene here is a classic
Uh, after the first couple seasons..
@@Norsilca The first couple of seasons were great as well.
@@npche9865 Well that's where you and I differ, for sure. So interesting when people like the first couple seasons. Pretty hard for me to understand.
@@Norsilca Better than the shit they're putting out now but of course the first two aren't as good as some of the ones after.
The first episodes had a really uncanny feel to them. Like yeah we’re used to them as we’ve seen them for 30 years, but the homer tucking Bart in is unfathomably creepy having not seen it often.
The beginning of the simpsons is kind of scary to look at, they all look a little weird
@@Veron-le3mgvery scary
Homer’s voice was different back then, but somehow his laugh sounds EXACTLY the same.
Dan Castellaneta based homer's voice after Walter Matthau
@@GMANKOOL23 I've always thought it was funny how the only reason Castellaneta even thought of Walter Matthau at all was seeing a sketch of Homer for the first time and noticing the huge upper lip. That's pretty much the only reason Matthau's voice occurred to him. 😄
@@Marbles471 Wow , that's interesting . I never would have thought
@@GMANKOOL23 According to him he had to loosen that because it was VERY DIFFICULT TO YELL IN THAT ORIGINAL VOICE.
Watching the season one episodes is always like a sort of dream. The characters get refined to how we see them in their glory days, before going into the steep decline to where we are today. Especially Homer has a serious alteration in personality; starting off as a borderline depressed "average man" to a loveable oaf a season later. Bart's descent into deliquency gets toned down and Marge develops more of a personality instead of being a background character.
Ralph Wiggum actually acts like a regular kid.
It's also the only one of three episodes that have a dub in my language, later on we have an lector
Even the production aspects are different in s1. The ackground sets all have a weird gradient and the characters are more exaggerated(lots of wild take and they didn't figure out the skintones yet so some people are blue)
Then Homer just becomes a idiot, Lisa became the most annoying Simpson, Bart became a boring character and Marge returned to being a background character.
Yeah the show today is a dystopian fever dream
2:34 I remember in the Simpsons: Road Rage game, when you were selecting Bart in the character menu, he would say this
season 1 is such a different vibe compared to later seasons.
Facts
Tends to be a thing with most shows
@@Izzy-dg5zv It tends to be something people always bring up too.
@@Izzy-dg5zv yep
I personally enjoy it. Some of the episodes like "life on the fast lane" really hold up well even to this day
Interesting that Burns's first scene introduces the long-standing trend where he asks Smithers who that man is (Homer Simpson). That also makes it by far the longest-standing reason for a grudge anyone has against Burns when it came to potential motives for his attempted murder later on.
What about Abe and the tonteen?
@@mr.mister39601. It’s spelled tontine
2. They were referring to longest in the context of the show, not the Simpsons timeline
Simpson, eh?
43:31 Well Seymour, I made it. Despite your directions.
The children wrote the directions for you.
@@nousukas It's always the children's fault isn't it Seymour
Superintendent Chalmers! I hope you’re prepared for an unforgettable luncheon
I like this older stuff. New cartoons are so overly polished and formalized. This is so expressive and warm.
8:21 what the hell is that thing sat next to Lisa ?
A mirror.
Thats graggle's first apperance, he did look weird back then
something you wouldn't want to run into in a dark alley
Chernobyl Hugo Simpson
It's Barts long lost twin.
9:42 Nelson's friend watched his nosebleed even when he's not facing him xD
8:14 holy shit the extra that hands the paper to Lisa looks like he grew up in a nuclear waste dump
He does
Yeah not all early backround characters were made equal
That's season 1 for you lol
The one behind him looks like an alien
Trab Nospmis
4:09 I didn't even know that meme frame was that old, I always thought it was from a newer season.
I love how smooth the sound effects are, it's really satisfying
“What’s the password?”
“LET ME IN YOU IDIOT!!!!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I remember from S01 E05
Right you are.
The personality shifts and character focuses are so surreal. I never remember wendel getting any lines of screentime outside small gags like vomiting in background or hurting arm on the trampoline episode.
Like the characters who in my memory of "modern" (circa late 90's) simpsons were mostly background characters or filler actually had roles in the early episodes.
Its weird after decades they never really bothered to revisit them. When has Wendel or the Twin girls ever actually been used for more than a short gag
Matt Groening said there were to many characters and everyone more so the kids just blended together so he wanted to focus on certain ones. That's why Bart went from having several close friends to him just being best friends with Milhouse because Milhouse was the more interesting character.
Same thing happened with Peanuts after the 1950s/60s. What happened to Sherman, Patty, Violet, etc.
I love how many super close ups on faces early Simpsons had
That’s mostly due to the hideous cropping that they had done a few years ago to convert the episodes to “widescreen”.
3:41 why could've they NOT used that burp??? sounds so much more grotesque i like it
14:33 UH! UH! UH! UH! UH!
They should have done more with Lewis and Richard, they used to be Bart’s best friends, especially Lewis.
It was because Matt Groening said there was starting to be to many characters and it was becoming a challenge for the voice actors to remember how they all sounded. They went with Milhouse being Barts best friend because his personal was opposite of Bart and overall a more interesting character.
@@johncase1353 but Lewis has a new permanent voice actor so I don’t see why Matt Groening could not add him back in. But I guess he kind of did with the one where Bart becomes a caddy.
Edit: in the second most recent episode that recently came out, his grandfather had a line.
@@bobcatthesandwing2403 Matt Groening hasn’t worked on the show in any serious capacity in decades, and they haven’t done anything with him because there’s nothing worth doing with him that they couldn’t do with one of the other kids
@@bobcatthesandwing2403Holy shit you actually watch the new seasons? Why???
@@gdawgs101 because I am hoping one day that the new set of directors will be at least decent and the episodes will become fresh once again.
Is so sad that Ruth and Laura Powers didn't become more recurrent characters, they had potencial, the same with Jessica Lovejoy and Allison Taylor
The producers seemed to be very against giving Marge and Lisa any friends or rivals. Its a miracle that Helen Lovejoy survived.
Actually Ruth is more recurrent than his daughter
5:35 Homer is a based father ngl
Technically burns made his first appearance in the first episode also anybody notice how different he sounds
Well it was a different actor who did the voice.
@@YRFKDM8 no it was always hank azaria
@@Dracovenatrix en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Collins
@@YRFKDM8 now that i think about it that makes sense a lot of Characters in the first and early seasons sound different
@@Dracovenatrix Chris Latta (Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe/Starscream from Transformers) did the voice of Mr. Burns and Moe for Season 1, but Hank Azaria dubbed over Moe's lines when he joined the show mid production, making Chris Latta's performance for Moe essentially lost media because his Moe voice never resurfaced over the 30 years these episodes has been out.
Also Harry Shearer was the long-running replacement for Mr. Burns after Latta left, not Azaria.
27:45
That's one of my favorite jokes. The waiter basically said that the giant squid killed all the fishermen that would usually get it.
The subtly is perfect!
*zoidberg:* "bring me one of your young on a roll"
*server:* "... we're outta rolls"
just reminded me of that joke lol
You can just tell Kelsey Grammer absolutely loves performing Sideshow Bob. Right out the gate, he's an unending string of classic moments.
3:57 "one of my fellow children" okay yeah. he was definitely always a 40 something y/o undercover cop. "one of my fellow children".
2:04, wow I didn't know their home used to be the backrooms
47:44 Sarahs first speaking appearance was in Homers barbershop quartet when she says Clancay use the remote
28:50 I never realised til now the exact same introduction between Bart and Seymour with Homer and Dondelinger, that's a cute callback to the Simpson family's inherent problems with authority.
The introduction to Santa’s little helper was so cute 🥺
It's very interesting to see that they managed to get 3 seasons of shorts with the Tracy Ullman show without any introduction of side characters (besides Grandpa) sticking until they actually had a full show.
Millhouse made his first appearance in a butterfingers commercial
Thank you for making this video! I see way too many people simply reposting clips from the show, while this is really interesting and unique!

It’s weirder that in Bart’s first appearance he’s asking Homer philosophical questions about the mind when that seems way more like something Lisa would think about, Bart really isn’t intellectual enough to have interest in those types of questions
@@ChaosRocket Yes,it was so off.
Ugh the endless archways in the simpsons house and the weird gradients on the walls in season 1
Old school Simpsons had to make do with putting up something as a background. It was cheaply and quickly done, and it worked fine because everything was framed with the attention right in front. Then they decided the backgrounds need tons of detail. A classic version would be some green clumps with a couple power plant towers sticking out of them for the city. A new version would have all the buildings with windows and shadows for no reason
@@benb9151 Yes all of this!! Aesthetically it makes no sense. I’ve always thought the old style blends the main characters and the background characters together much better than the modern episodes, too. Especially when they bring on guests. The Matt groening style just works best with fast, loose shapes and colors. When it gets too clean and technical, it looses its charm.
This is excellently put together, thanks 😊
Sarah Wiggum's first speaking line was in season 5 ep 1: Homer's Barbershop Quartet
and Sideshow Bob's first appearance was in season 1: The Telltale Head
there's something incredibly offputting about this, like we're seeing these iconic characters shrivelled down to their most primordial and undefined states
Idk why I always loved the line "you made me bleed my own blood"
What a nice job man, congratulations this is fantastic!
Those first shorts. Incredible.
“Umm dad? What is the mind? Is it just a system of impulses or is it something more tangible?” 😂 I love that Bart was so articulate!
Much more similar to Groening’s original “___ is hell” comic series
@@matthewbartlett3442 Yeah, Bart is basically Bongo the rabbit there. 😆
I love how the doorway in the Itchy and Scratchy one is just a bizarre maze
1:55 I like how there’s just an endless hallway of doorways
7:55 Smithers was black?
It was an animation mistake
No clue what that other guy's on about. Not an animation mistake, just an old design.
And Carl was white
@@TheSkypetubeI think you mean Sgt. Lou
I never realized how it took 20 seasons for Shauna to first appear, but it also makes sense because i can't imagine her in earlier seasons
I love how exaggerated the mouths are in early episodes
Homer's line about "what is mind?" made me black out.
Just a kind of rundown we needed
Love the evolution! 🤩
Seeing how Santa's Little Helper came to the Simpson's family hits differently.
To everyone commenting about characters appearing in the Christmas Special or wherever: The episodes are listed in order of production, not by airdate!!
Though "Whacking Day" isn't a top-tier episode or anything, it's incredible how well they got the Skinner/Chalmers dynamic in Chalmers' first appearance.
even after all these years i still find these episodes to be awesome
9:33 I wonder what happened to those two people who hung around with Nelson
In the newest seasons Nelson said they moved to Shelbyville
I seen the punch Bart gave Nelson.
S1 E3 had not yet introduced the recurring Waylon Smithers but rather a guest, Black Smithers. E4 did something similar where White Lou was a guest before Lou himself became the recurring role.
It's surprising how long it takes Flanders to appear production wise. Making the Christmas episode the opener was by far the best choice they made, that episode establishes so many of the most important secondary characters. Another surprise is how long it takes Duffman to appear
0:45 Love the way they show Maggie's anxiety through faster sucking and her eyes.

Season 1 - 3 Simpsons had a strange comfort to it. It was genuinely harmless television.
It wasn't considered harmless at the time
It was more like koth and less competing with family guy to be moronic. If they tried to make Homer off himself now it would definitely be pushed hard as a crude joke like they do with Moe.
harmless by today's standards; the simpsons was very controversial when it came out. but i get what you say, the episodes felt cozier and the humor was lowkey.
Characteristics of the Tracy Ullman shorts arguably remained in the show for about the first four seasons, albeit gradually fading out. Homer still has very vague traces of his Walter Matthau voice a few seasons in, the animation style remains somewhat goofy, there's generally more focus on the immediate Simpson family etc.
I find it interesting how Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney were somewhat nice to Bart in the beginning before they started to bully him
I'm surprised Duffman and Crazy cat lady appeared so late in the golden age of simpsons considering how iconic they are.
Good video. I feel like Johnny Tightlips could have been included though.
EDIT: And MYAYBE Martin's parents (non-speaking and speaking), although that one's definitely more debatable.
There's something comforting about watching the good old days of The Simpsons. Its refreshing.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I am pretty sure that Moe's first appearance is in Simpsons Roasting on an open fire, as well as Barney who bets on dog races with homer along with being a mall santa.
Who knew Smithers had a non yellow tone before
First season Simpsons is the stuff of nightmares.
Dreams more like. It’s a nightmare now
that first homer line is Zen Buddhism. Even the laugh
This deserves its own series
I love seeing this before any possible flanderization
Marvin Monroe made his first appearance at episode 4 season 1
Please note that this compilation is ordered by production, not by broadcast.
I forgot how good the old episodes were, so many memories, these were super funny and unique back then!
Crazy how good the shorts got, which hardly see any light of day now. You think the shorts just look like the first ever short, but you deffo see the animation evolving over time
Excelent compilation
The background characters used to be so unique and artistic (going with the gag that there was something wrong with your TV color settings as I heard from somewhere) I liked the blue characters too
Isn't Todd Flanders already at 14:43 with Ned?
Also, Sideshow Bob first appears in The Telltale Head, Jacqueline Bouvier is seen in flashback in Moaning Lisa and Sarah Wiggum speaks in Homer's Barbershop Quartet (although others in this comment section have already pointed these out). Otherwise a very good video. Using the production order of the episodes is an interesting but justified choice.
Herman Hermann’s advice to keep your hand inside the bus window has stuck with me my whole childhood and subsequent adulthood.
Me too, I've never forgotten that scene since the first time I saw it as a child
"his lap was aweful slippery" then dumping bart on the floor
old series abe cracks me up
