Hank seems like a total bro, the military is literally busting down the door, but he is still willing to talk with Homer and give him decent advice. Also the family really didn't try very hard, it was like, two days.
Hank Scorpio is ironically the best person in the Simpsons despite the fact he's a literal super villain. He cares for his employees, gives good advice, understanding even in the worst situations and saw value in a man who let a nuclear plant melt down every other week. That's not even mentioning the killer home Homer had, the everyday amenities the Simpsons family could enjoy and awarding initiative of even the newest faces in his organization.
Probably one of the most underrated lines. "I don't like the word boss I don't like anything that elevates me above anyone else" becomes leader of the world.
Imagine how many Bond Villains’ schemes would have succeeded had they had more employees like Homer and less henchmen with metal/golden teeth, unique throwable headwear, diamonds embedded in their faces, and/or trying to sleep with Bond
The pink shirt he was wearing has a small heart on the side of his heart lol and I see it as a metaphor for when Homer was committed for wearing a pink shirt at work and here his boss is wearing one.
No one want to draw comparison to Hank, Elon, and GlobalX to SpaceX.. while being a complete bro, and making a flame throwing.. and its the Simpsons.. wow im actually survived
I know it's always supposed to go back to the status quo, but the family could've solved their problems really easily by just giving Lisa antihistamines, and Marge could home school Bart until he was up to date with all the stuff he didn't know, as it's been proven that Marge is a good teacher and Bart learns better when he's focused and not distracted by his pranks, they could've even hired a private teacher for him, while Marge could do some paintings.
I love all the comments on here talking about how easily managed Bart, Lisa, and Marge's problems could be so they could stay there forever, but Homer leaves like just as the military is busting into his terrorist organization work place to shut it down. If he had stayed another day, surely he would be charged with terrorism. Still one of the best episodes of the Simpsons of all time! And the line: "Sorry it's not in packages" is an underrated gem of a line
How did Homer not end up in Gitmo for aiding a Terrorist leader, lol? Hank was killing American GIs there by the dozens. What part of the country are they in? Idaho?
This episode always made me sad. They had everything they could've wished for. Bart just needed some tutoring, Lisa some allergy meds and Marge a hobby. Homer should've sent them home and went bowling with Hank
@Fee Fee Yeah, but alternatives would be out of character or too tragic. Besides, it's great writing as in that case, the efficiency of Homer is linked to a true vilain, as opposite to a goofy/unrealistic one in Springfield; a realistic place of learning would, indeed, put Bart in a special class, not in a goofy school like Springfield; and for Lisa, Misses tofu and little birds, I find it personnally hilarious that in front of real nature, not the goofy thre eyes fish nature of Springfield, she got allergies...for Marge, it's in character: practicly every episode when she has a full arc for her, it's a "I got something out of my mother figure role and it turns out not good (bretzels, gym class, ect.) Here, she excells at it (everything is clean) and even then, she fails! Truly an upside down epiusode, very efficient on a metaphoric level: in Springfield, everyone feels home, but not Homer. Here, it's the opposite in clever ways.
Yeah, even if they moved back, they should have been rich. But the mise en place would have been damaged if they were. Homer is the everyman, and his fate is to lose money if he gets any. I don't really enjoy this episode, as fun as it is. It just mocks the feelings we all have of living a better life and justifies it with...I don't know, flimsy excuses for being homesick and poor?
Yeah, it's really nonsensical. Marge could have taken up painting again, Lisa just some anti histamines (I mean if Milhouse can cope with it, she can, considering how good the schools are). Bart is the only one who has a genuine grievance, as the school didn't give two shits about him.
@@TheBT I was in Bart's situation once. Does the school not have a point? Anyway, Bart could make the most of that...but he never got that far. Personally I was desperate to get back to my old school, even if there was nothing waiting for me back there.
Marge, get a damn hobby. Lisa, get some medication. Bart, get a tutor. C'mon, their reasons for wanting to leave were pretty goddamn weak. Homer had it MADE working for that bloodthirsty, maniacal supervillain! I love how at the end of the episode you see a newspaper headline saying Scorpio has seized the entire East Coast. I guess I'll always be left to wonder what became of all that.
@gecko. All of the kids problems actually boil down to really bad parenting lol. If Marge was paying attention to her kids she probably wouldn't be sad. Lisa would go see a doctor, Bart could get a pep talk, and maggie could go to the park or something. Really, this entire episode is on Marge for actually being a comically terrible mother. I dunno if that was the intent of the writing, but it's impossible to ignore.
Homer having to give up the job at the bowling alley is sad but at least makes sense since it didn't pay enough to support three children. But here all the problems is so easily manageable: Give Lisa some allergy medicine, give Bart an ultimatum of study harder or stay in the special help class since he needs all the help he can get and for Marge either get a job or hobby and stop complaining.
Yeah, but alternatives would be out of character or too tragic.

Here's the thing, Scorpio being a super villain is completely irrelevant to the pot of the episode. The story is: Homer get an ideal job, with a kind boss, in a beautiful community; but the place completely wrecks his family's life, and he decides to prioritize them. That's it. Scorpio being a literal bond criminal is entirely absurdist comedy and without it the "plot" would go completely unaffected. But they play it good, it made this episode one of the most memorable of the entire fucking show.
Is it really irrelevant? For me, this episode makes fun of the uprising silicon-valley-culture. From outside it appears so perfect but within its rotten to the core. CEO portrayed as a super villian is just the cherry on the top, kind of prophetic and allows for some nice pop-culture references
I remember this episode when it first aired when I was a kid. This was a example of the Simpson's in its prime. "On your way out if it want to kill somebody it would help me alot."
At 5:00, the soldier who is killed by the dancer/acrobat looks a little bit like General Schwartzkopf... He has a pistol (typical for an officer?), the desert camouflage BDUs, the strong build, and the white hair.
I completely forgot in this episode that Homer called him Mister scorpion. That completely seems like something homerwood do, just like how Ralph Wiggum said Super Nintendo Chalmers...
I do like this episode, but it is bad overall for a season 8, when simpsons still were golden. Why they went back? Cause none of them accepted to change for the better. Except for Homer, who yet again sacrificed for his family.
It’s been 30 years I feel like they could make some permanent character development changes seeing as how this show is never ending lol. What’s weird is that the creators have no problems giving the side characters some pretty permanent changes
by far the funniest joke in this episode isn't even spelled out for you. It's that when Scorpio says that homer never handed him his jacket, he has it on backwards because he only had time to get it half on.
To think, Scorpio was originally going to be the villain of the Simpson's movie, but they ultimately decided to drop him for whatever reason in favour of Russ Cargill
Приколы
His company is getting attacked, but he takes some time to listen and give an advice to his employee. God bless you, Hank Scorpio
I think his name is Mr Scorpion.
probably the best boss ever as well.

One of the best Simpsons episodes ever.
Who knew that Homer Simpson would ultimately be James Bond's demise...
No no, you got that all wrong, it's James Bont. Though the other one had no time to die.
"Should the need arise they'll fill in for any other part of your body."
Yes, that includes cirrhosis, gout, and e.d. Dedicated fellas right there.

“Want some cream?” 💀💀
The pink shirt he was wearing has a small heart on the side of his heart lol and I see it as a metaphor for when Homer was committed for wearing a pink shirt at work and here his boss is wearing one.
Where's employment like this when you need it.
probably those jerks always walking over small businessmen like hank again
Elon Musk could low-key be Hanks Scorpio if he goes completely power hungry
for a villian he ia able to treat his employees very well
If Cooler was a human, he treats all his squadron respectively and pays them well for just doing their job
No one want to draw comparison to Hank, Elon, and GlobalX to SpaceX.. while being a complete bro, and making a flame throwing.. and its the Simpsons..

4:00 “I don’t expect anything from you except to die and be a very cheap funeral”
That was a pretty good villain line
"Do you expect me to talk?"
"No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!"
Goldfinger (1964), with the very same death trap
"With a dry cool wit like that, I could be an action hero!"
he respect not only his employees, but the enemies too, he paid for bonds funeral, truly the great man
“Can’t argue with the little things. It’s the little things that make up life.”
Well said, Hank.
**Throws a grenade at some soldiers**
Yep. Nail on the head. This is the message of the episode
"You ever see someone say goodbye to a shoe?"
"yes once"
lmao Homer's delivery on that line
This is the best Simpsons episode ever and Hank is the best villain
He isn't a villain.
He's just a small business man and the government stepped over him.
Maggie makes 3 is my favourite episode
Almost the best villain
@@reality-fl1sl who is the best?
Villain?
Wish we saw Scorpio more I love him. Thing is if they included him current season it would probably be a shell of his former self
And he'd just repeat the same lines. Man does modern Sinpsons suck.
He’d be taking down the patriarchy lol in a team with celebrities
It would be utterly awful

Aww, I was waiting for Homer to kick the grenade… But at least he got the Denver Broncos.

At 5:00, the soldier who is killed by the dancer/acrobat looks a little bit like General Schwartzkopf... He has a pistol (typical for an officer?), the desert camouflage BDUs, the strong build, and the white hair.
A very weird scene for the Simpsons. A woman breaking a soldier's neck with her legs 😂 you hear the snap and everything 😂 WTF
Hahaha I love the insane maniacal laugh that Hank does at the end as he is killing people with his flamethrower!
Hank: You want some cream with that?
Homer: *looks down at Scorpio's pants* No...
Stop him, he's supposed to die. 😂😂😂
This episode is mandatory viewing as far as I see it. Just excellent. I always feel like it's a 2-parter because it's constantly making iconic jokes.
