Advertising works. That's why companies pay for it, and it's why Google is so big. I don't understand why people think companies would spend so much on marketing "for a few measly dollars."

I always how even after Wiggum JUST explained how telemarketing was a scam that lead to this guy getting arrested and guaranteed to have a miserable time in jail, Homer's brain just ended at the opportunities for telemarketting.
@@moldyskittle shut up moron- ppl post quotes from the vid to express their appreciation and experience parts of the vid with others. Got that? Phucking moron.
My favourite part of this particular scam was when Homer was caught and ordered to apologise to everyone he annoyed So he used the auto dialer to send his apologies, asking those who forgive him to send him a dollar lol
It would have been a really great gag if 20 years later (this episode was aired in 1996) in 2016, the original telemarketer convict was included in a new episode where he made parole and started an email targeting scheme asking people to donate to a gofundme to raise money to buy a new telemarketing machine like the one he lost to Homer.
I love how Homer clearly sees what the machine did to the arrested guy yet doesn't have the mental capacity to understand that doing the same thing will also get him in trouble lol
"Hmmm, $1 to invest in a lifetime of round-the-clock slaves to tend to my every need or a few seconds of mouth-watering bliss with a Milky Way bar from the snack machine just down the hall. Tough decision. I think I prefer my Milky Way bar."
And yet they could have replaced the actor with an up-and-coming Indian actor. Problem solved on the racism front, and best of all, it gives an up-and-coming actor a break they may need.
@@matthewhorton2229 that only would have mitigated part of the problem. The other issue was that the idiots that got offended by his character focused just as much on the accent that they gave Apu. Those self-righteous assholes willfully ignored all of the decades of storylines that the writing staff wrote to make him more than just a caricature, with lots of character development that made him a far more real character than a lot of other bit characters on the show. I sincerely hope that the person that did the documentary on Apu, and all of the cancerous SJWs that felt inspired by it to destroy one of the best examples of an Indian American on prime time television all burn in hell. And I say that as someone who has been a strong supporter of progressive politics my entire life.
Thuazabi and maybe an authentic Indian actor would have a more authentic accent and be able to draw on his own life experiences a bit more. If that doesn’t shut the whinebags up, then they need to go down to the Sense of Humor Store and go buy a sense of humor since most of them left theirs at Taco Bell.
It's funny, even in 2020 halfway across the world my local store is run by Indians who aren't afraid to call you out on stuff. This truly is a universal experience.
Unless you live in some impoverished Caribbean island republic, and use an auto-dialer with a spoofer to make it appear that you're calling from within the US or Canada when you're actually not.
@@EuropeYear1917 Not to mention how blocking the number is worthless because there are countless numbers those scammers will just rely on. Hell, I saw this one old coot on the news online talking about how he's on the Do-Not-Call registry but he still gets calls.
Except my phone won't wake me up at some obnoxious hour with the recorded message of some Kickstarter asshat asking for money. I occasionally still get autodialer recordings from overseas scam artists doing that to me. When Kickstarter is disrupting my attempts to bathe multiple times like Homer's machine did to Chief Wiggim or redialing my phone all night like happened to Ned then I'll consider it as bad as an autodialer, much less think it worse.
I was literally just watching the episode where Homer becomes Mr Burn's assistant. One of the gags is that Mr Burns has never used (and thus doesn't know how to use) a phone! Still, dont let continuity get in the way of a good joke!
I enjoy the multi-layered joke of Burns being the first person called. He's so old he has the first number and it sets up the dollar joke.
Always love how Mr Burns answers the phone A Hoy Hoy 😂
Fun fact, the guy who made the telephone wanted A Hoy Hoy to be the greeting people use when they answer the phone.
Gerald Weir - Alexander Graham Bell, the man credited with inventing the telephone, considered "Hello" to be the proper greeting. Elisa Gray, the man who didn't quite get his version of the telephone up and running in time, wanted "Hoy, Hoy" to be the greeting.
I read it was Ahoy
@@sct913 You've still got it wrong. Bell wanted it to be "Hoy Hoy", while Thomas Edison wanted it to be "Hello". Look it up.
A Hoy Hoy.

Funny how Mr Burns plays with the phone cord. Like a girl talking to her best friend.
The way Homer looks at Marge after she says 'swindling our neighbours' xD
Of course, he's wearing glasses to pass off as smart... XD
.... and bats it off with a simple "let me show you how it works" 🤣🤣🤣
I know right!
I’d be happier with the dollar.. 😁
Mr. Burns is right... I'm happier with the dollar as well.
I agree with Mr Burns
Mr.Burns is right for once
@@EuropeYear1917 dude your alive? Lenin said you and the rest of the royal family tragically fell down the stairs and onto some bullets
I’ve just noticed that Burns’ feet don’t touch the ground
I always how even after Wiggum JUST explained how telemarketing was a scam that lead to this guy getting arrested and guaranteed to have a miserable time in jail, Homer's brain just ended at the opportunities for telemarketting.
I need the scene where the scientist calls and the automated caller tries to return to him, but Homer breaks the legs off
There's a donut shop in my neighborhood that would legit put all those toppings homer used on their donuts. Place is called Hurts Donut.
ShinRyojin Oh yeah! I know that place,
We have a couple stores in my city
I guess the "hurts" refers to the inevitable chest pains from eating crap like that
If donuts are involved, then it’s worth the pain.
Huh, it's even located in a Springfield: www.wannahurts.com/contact/
Burns answering the phone with “Ahoy Hoy” must be Conan writing because he loves that reference to Alexander-Graham Bell
I think it was George Myer. He talks about it in his podcast with Bill Hader and they do a whole bit about it.
Conan had long left The Simpsons by this time.
Homie's half-moon glasses and the way Mr Burns girlishly twirls the receiver cord make me happy.
Homer pulling a scam, uses his voice, is own phone number and address 😂
A Mounds Bar is not a sprinkle, a Twizzler is not a sprinkle, a Jolly Rancher is not a sprinkle sir! Perhaps in Shangri-la they are, but not here!
“Thank you come again!”
Thanks I watched the video too.
I miss Apu, best character ever

Chill the "phuck" out, Brosef.
Mr burns says ahoy hoy. Ahoy hoy was exact word spoken first on phone later replaced by hello.
This shows age of burns .
Me want to thank. You
Alexander Graham Bell wanted people to answer the phone saying ahoy hoy.
He also has the first number because, being the oldest and richest in town, he was probably the first with a phone.
First words spoken on the telephone were: Mr. Watson, come here. I want you.
And what does “ahoy hoy” mean?
I love Homer's half-moon glasses lol
I love the part later in the ep where it keeps incessantly redialing Ned Flanders late at night, much to Maude's chagrin, LOL.
That is hilarious. And then Homer shouts at them for being inconsiderate.
Greetings friend!
@SuperNoone89 SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
But it could be mother!
"Meh. I'd be happier *with* the dollar.."
He ain't wrong
I love how the cops just throw crucial evidence in the bin at the scene.
A twizzler is not sprinkles!
A Jolly Rancher is not a sprinkle!
@@EuropeYear1917 perhaps in Shangri la but not here!
*Now, that's a happy dude.*
I almost forgot how funny classic Simpsons was back then. I always laugh at the part where we hear Homer and Bart scream.
"Telemarketing, eh?"
Maude, eh?
"A Jolly Rancher is not a sprinkle sir. Perhaps is Shangri-La they are, but not here!" Always loved Apu's rant here.
I love how Ned Flander’s phone keeps ringing, meaning he’s pretty much the only one in town who hasn’t unplugged trier phone.
I like the sentence imposed on the telemarketing scammer, should be imposed on all the scammers out there.
"And the only way out.... is suicide...."
All this time and I've only just noticed the "do you wish to look as happy as me" gag
My favourite part of this particular scam was when Homer was caught and ordered to apologise to everyone he annoyed

One dollar for eternal happiness? Er!!! I'd be happier with the dollar!
Love mr Burns my favourite character
I love how Homer clearly sees what the machine did to the arrested guy yet doesn't have the mental capacity to understand that doing the same thing will also get him in trouble lol
I love how Homer corrects Marge.
This scene changed doughnut history forever.
That Burns scene is perfect. Sums up his character completely.
Homer has so many aliases
My favorite has to be Happydude and Mr.X.
I love how the sentence for the scammer is so ridiculously over the top, and it just brushes over it! 😂
I wouldn’t mind eating a donut with all those toppings

A Milky Way bar is not a sprinkle, sir.
What universe do you live in that a Milky Way bar costs 1 dollar?
Michael Smith That's nothing. You should see the prices of candy bars many of the outlet shopping centers have for their vending machines.
I love how Homer gives out his home address even though he's running a scam.
Well, no one ever accused Homer of being overly bright.
Cuz it isn't a scam, dumbass.
Im still confused as to why they removed Apu. I always saw him as a respectable, humorous character.
Every modern day hipster donut shop descends from this one donut.
That telemarketer is out now
Didn't you hear?
He hanged himself in his cell after 8 years!!
@@Angel-O369 So the Telemarketer finally hung-up?
0:51 - 0:58 The autodialer is more than worth it.
Also, he forgot about dropping the soap, and shanks.
Homer invented "tele-panhandling".
So impounding it for evidence never crossed Chief Wiggams mind? Lol
Wiggum is incompetent.
Or simply destroying it.
tele-panhandling haha
Probably worth noting that the only ones who really fell for the scam were Grandpa Simpson and his friend at the Nursing Home.
I'm sad they got rid of apu
Wait why they get rid of Apu?
@@thunter992 His character was considered as racist.

Mr Burns twirling the cord, feet not touching the ground...somehow hilarious.
At the beginning, Apu is clearly a case of the pot calling the kettle black, since he sells expired food and drink at his store every day.
That's a weird looking police car.

A mars bar is not a sprinkle.
I'm sorry, but I can't live in a world where a Twizzler is not an acceptable donut sprinkle.
In today's world, if it's edible, it's a sprinkle!
Now-a-days we got Kickstarter and Indiegogo which are basically like the autodialer only worse, it's virtual pan handling.

'These are not sprinkles sir'
Hmmm. I'm wondering if this is the infamous Robocall King I've been hearing about lately...
If only we can go back in time and tell the people of the past.
No this problem does not get solved and it gets much worst
This scene reminds me so much of the "You can not use the Double Gulp cup for the f*cking Slurpee" 😂
That doughnut looks tasty!
loved this episode was fascinated by that machine lol
Sounds like patreon...
Today.
I like the subtle commentary on how prison conditions actually make most criminals worse
Howdily d...

Dang!
If you don't unplug that phone right now you're sleeping on the lawn!
WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!!
0:25, I'm honestly surprised something like that is not offered
besides jolly ranchers, those could work as weirdly okay toppings
Funny as!:)

After telemarketing at night Flanders gone crazy
He tried using the slurpee cup for the Big Gulp.
i think annoying 1000s of people would be worth more than the few dollars I would make.
I don’t see homer ever placing the donut on the counter
Lol Homer's face at 1:09.

At 0:43, the red light is on the passenger side, then at 0:45, the blue is now on the passenger side.

This is how spammers work. On the internet they have to send out about 3 million emails before they might get a dollar
Mr Burns has the first phone number in the town.
How are they going to make the charges stick with the guy in the cop car without the dialer?
Telepanhandling roflol. I really miss the old Simpsons.
Me too.

He got out through Sewer Side, like shawshank redemption
Telepanhandling lol
