The condescending way Duffman talks to Barney tells so much about the character. He's just a guy in a costume doing a silly gimmick for a paycheck, and once the party is over he returns to his boring house.
He didn't stay sober. He just stopped drinking for a few hours and then went into severe DT's as a result. Alcoholics don't get sober until they stop drinking completely. Poor Barney was probably a couple of hours away from having a seizure. Thank goodness the Kwiki-Mart is open 24/7. I know this is supposed to be funny but I have been Barney. It isn't fun.
@@Arsaja That is correct. I had to take a shot first thing in the morning because if my BAC dropped below .10% I would get violently ill. You're not an alcoholic if you can voluntarily stop drinking completely for 24-72. Anything else they tell you these days is a lie of the devil.
Barney has, at various points, been a world-famous singer, an award-winning filmmaker, an astronaut, and a submarine crewman. I'd totally believe he gave a guest lecture at Villanova.
That’s what’s sad about Barney. He actually had a lot of potential as a person. He was highly intelligent and creatively gifted. But the second he tried alcohol it ruined him. However, as you pointed out, echoes of his great potential still resonate every now and again.
Who else thought the music and the dancing peanut bowl were just Barney hallucinating from not drinking, the first time you saw this? When he was saying "not tonight," I thought he meant it as in "oh God, please don't let tonight be the night the psychotic break is finally going to happen!" Like, he knew that if he stopped drinking long enough he'd literally go crazy and desperately didn't want it to happen that night in front of his friends.
Best line to use in real life: *"I oughta punch you in the nose! ..But I have to pickup my kids from school"* (..then I just leave and go to the bathroom or whatever)
3:28 that is some genius level misdirection combined with surreal humour: you get the audience to think that there's going to be a joke about Barney sobering up and earning himself the kind of live where he can afford his own limo but...well you saw the punchline already.
Also when he's saying "not tonight," when the Duffmobile music is playing and the peanut bowl is bouncing. You think he's just about to have a psychotic break from the alcohol withdrawal and he's saying not tonight, as in please don't let tonight be the night that I'm finally going to go crazy.
@@TheDutchGhost, that is what makes him a pretty sad character. He was shown to be very talented and capable of great things when sober. But his alcohol addiction always sends him spiraling back.
That’s right. Of course the episode came out several years prior to 9/11. Homer does manage to track down his car, which is parked near the World Trade Centre directly on Ground Zero with its front left wheel clamped and many a parking ticket to its name. After briefly leaving the car again to use the toilet, Home is issued another fine for not attending the vehicle and drives off with the wheel still clamped, damaging the front wing and practically wrecks the whole car trying to remove the clamp with a jackhammer.
Who ever gets the black egg Goes to the anime convention with me Homer: whew Lenny: whew Carl: ah Larry: whew Sam: oh Barney: NOOOOOOO!!!!! Homer: you got the black one
I'm thinking it'd make more sense for Moe to insist that they all get a cab ride home together, it doesn't help his bottom line if one of them isn't drinking.
You know there was a period of time in the simpsons where barney stayed sober for a few years, so it just shows that he can stay off it if he just tries.
4:04 Marge: I don’t want you driving around in a car you built yourself. *Rolls-Royce employees when the company first started out: I’m about to end this woman’s whole career.*
Anyone noticed how Homer made the last draw, reaching for the last egg which clearly wasn't the black one and still breathed a sigh of relief? First time I noticed that and I've watched this episode like 10 times.
Believe it or not, it doesn't surprise me that the rats are so obedient. Rats can actually form bonds with others, and once they do, they can display a level of devotion comparable to a domestic dog.
I love New York. Lived in the borough of Queens. Have wonderful childhood memories. But being a Californian and with my love for Homer, and without any real reason, I agree with Homer's sentiments on New York being a hell hole 😄
Marge absolutely kills me, her mild concern about homer trying to build his own car out of a mattress and her dedication to knitting seatbelts so it’s at least partially safe. Classic.
@@jackwisniewski3859 It would've been better if it showed Barney drinking with and having the time of his life with everyone there, including with the Duffman and those cheerleaders there, and where Barney having to be sober and the designated driver, would've been for another night. Admit it, it was a psychological tease for us the viewers to see that Barney spent his whole life drinking all the time, flushing his life down the toilet all the time, and then he blew his once in a lifetime opportunity to have major fun with not only everyone there, but also a celebrity and his cheerleaders, where it would've paid off.
Barney shouldn't have had to participate in the pickled egg designated driver thing, his alcoholism was too far out to be able to handle that, Moe should've just had the other guys do it, they like to drink but they're stable enough where they can handle a few hours of not drinking if they had to, they can go to work all day without drinking, Barney can't. Barney doesn't even work, he like lives at Moe's. His alcoholism is more serious than the other guys'.
thats a lot of self control for an alcoholic
is he really an alcoholic if he has self control?
@@ranku9690 Plot twist: Barney was technically never an alcoholic.
He’s probably a social drinker who go’s way over the top
The point is he didn’t give in even when he was presented with that giant mug of beer.
Ranku Yes. It’s not like being an alcoholic means you automatically have no self-control. Everyone has some self-control.
"Duff wholeheartedly supports the designated driver program" lmao
Well thanks to the mother's against democrac- I mean drunk driving association they have to say it.
The condescending way Duffman talks to Barney tells so much about the character. He's just a guy in a costume doing a silly gimmick for a paycheck, and once the party is over he returns to his boring house.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 isn't he actually super depressed in real life?
I have no idea what that means but OKAY! 😁😁😁
@@Mikey-ym6ok What's funny is that one of the higher ups was caught drunk driving
This actually gave me mad respect for Barney for staying sober for his friends
The beat is making the bowl bounce.

He went on a drinking binge for two month right after this
@@evilubuntu9001 Wait. So basically alcoholics are drunk 100% of the time?
@@Arsaja That is correct. I had to take a shot first thing in the morning because if my BAC dropped below .10% I would get violently ill. You're not an alcoholic if you can voluntarily stop drinking completely for 24-72. Anything else they tell you these days is a lie of the devil.
Gotta give Barney credit. He showed extreme self control despite the constant temptation until his role as a designated driver was completed
It still backfired horribly, Barney wouldn't have gone mad and lost Homer's car if he wasn't forced to stop drinking for all those hours
Then he went on a bender that lasted 2 months lmao 😂😂😂
Also he took better care of that car drunk for two months than Homer did sober in one day;
good man
He stole Homers car. He completely failed
Barney has, at various points, been a world-famous singer, an award-winning filmmaker, an astronaut, and a submarine crewman. I'd totally believe he gave a guest lecture at Villanova.
I concur.
TECHNICALLY Barney never went into space, he just aced all of the training for it.
That’s what’s sad about Barney. He actually had a lot of potential as a person. He was highly intelligent and creatively gifted. But the second he tried alcohol it ruined him.
However, as you pointed out, echoes of his great potential still resonate every now and again.
All: "Evening Moe!"
Barney: "Morning Moe!"

HEY, IT'S DUFF MAN! THE GUY IN A COSTUME THAT CREATES AWARENESS OF DUFF!
..Can you tell that it's Duffman's debut Simpsons appearance? Lmao.
Duffman's first appearance on the show.
Had no idea, definitely the first?
Sokman00 I’m pretty sure it wasn’t this episode was in s9 and he was in it before that
Sokman00 I stand corrected it was in fact his first appearance my apologies
"The guy in a costume that creates awareness of Duff!" ha ha! I've always loved that line! One of Lenny's best!
so true, lenny is so damn dry and off beat.
Who else thought the music and the dancing peanut bowl were just Barney hallucinating from not drinking, the first time you saw this?

That's what I felt when it first aired in the 90s
I guess if you dunno who duff man was
It's a party Melissa. Doesn't have to make sense.
No comma
You clearly never watched the Simpsons. Duff man's music is well known
"just slide it under the door" LOL
Rats sliding under the door
Yehass...ticktick...toMORROW!
The best line is Lenny saying “Man I thought that radiation would never end” as he walks in
hey everybody I'm peter pantsless🤣
Best line to use in real life: *"I oughta punch you in the nose! ..But I have to pickup my kids from school"* (..then I just leave and go to the bathroom or whatever)
0:08 It's actually really nice of Moe to let the mice hang out and have shelter
well bart's factory fell over.
@@TheWeepingDalek Exactly what I was thinking. Good on Moe for taking them in.
Those are RATS.
"here comes the evening rush" - same customers come in lol
Probably one of the best episodes EVER.
yeah being the designated driver sucks🤣
We'll choose the same way they choose the pope.
**WHEEZE**
got to remember that line
3:28 that is some genius level misdirection combined with surreal humour: you get the audience to think that there's going to be a joke about Barney sobering up and earning himself the kind of live where he can afford his own limo but...well you saw the punchline already.
It's even funnier that the limo driver politely opens the boot for him.

I love how Barney is so addicted to Moe’s beer that he seemingly lives in the tavern.
He pretty much does lol
He actually lives ABOVE Moe’s!
Morning Jules.
dats da joooke
It's not just Moe's beer it's all beer
Love Duffman!
but PROTOOOOOOOOO
OHHHH YEAH!!!
Love uninspired comments from verified youtubers only to plug their channel.

You must be a fun guy.
"Shut up! It's my car and I say were going tot he lost city of gold.."

@@michaelnellen4003 we watched the same video.
"Do you have anything to drink?"
"Mountain dew or crab juice"
"eeeewwwww oh god! I'll take a crab juice"
I'd definitely take a crab juice over a Diet Mountain Dew, that's for sure.
@@chartabona mountain dew is not that bad. Dr pepper on the other hand...
I wonder if the Mountain Dew reference was changed for any foreign dubs of this episode?
@@adultmoshifan87 He says "sodovka" (soda) in Czech version.
Nothing will ever be as good as Simpsons back in the day
This was like The Simpsons Silver Age, when it was at least tolerable but the quality was slowly changing.
No doubt about that
Despite Duffman's presence, Barney pulled through. He has willpower when he wants to
Despite being mostly displayed as a drunk the Simpsons has often shown that Barney is actually quite competent and intelligent.
@@TheDutchGhost, that is what makes him a pretty sad character. He was shown to be very talented and capable of great things when sober. But his alcohol addiction always sends him spiraling back.
Homer riding away on that scooter had me dying😂😂😂
2:32 the off key ayy macarena always get to me
I love how everyone walks through Moe’s door at the moment the steam whistle sounds.
I like how this video is called "Peter Pantless" when that's literally 2 seconds of a throw away joke in the middle of the video.
Its the best part
Nah nah nah, the best part is immediately after @1:15
Homer: " You got the black one ".
"We choose the same way they pick the Pope. Everyone reach in and draw a pickled egg."
Abemus papa Barney.
Laughed so much at the "Peter Pantsless" bit, I spilt a cup of tea.
that's great martin. gotta keep up karate practice somehow...
oops; I thought that said "split"
Well, well, well Soko... We met again!
mule
I know you shouldn't cry about spilled tea.. but it's just so sad
I just stared blankly and wrote. LOL🤣
Moe is just in awe of Barney turning down Duffman
“Nothing good has ever come out of New York”. Truer words have never been spoken before :D
I always love Lenny’s delayed reaction to Duff Man’s arrival.
The episode is "Homer vs The City of New York"
Duh

Carl: Ah.
Larry: Whew!

This the infamous Twin Towers episode. You will never see it on TV again

Couldnt barney have just got a taxi for the guys?
Taxis are dummmmy expensive
@@eliasakkerman4597 Barney does have money though. He makes his money being a guinea pig for various experiments :)
@@theman1412 he spends all his money on alcohol
I'm thinking it'd make more sense for Moe to insist that they all get a cab ride home together, it doesn't help his bottom line if one of them isn't drinking.
Bottomless beer mug. It would make sense to spend $20 on cab ride. The beer was worth 1000s of dollars.
You know there was a period of time in the simpsons where barney stayed sober for a few years, so it just shows that he can stay off it if he just tries.
This whole clip is funny but the funniest part was when homer went to go pick up his kids on a razor scooter😂😂😂😂
I beg to differ. It was Homer's gratuitous "You got the black one" after Barney reveals his egg.
The irony here us that Homer is the one responsible for Barney being an alcoholic.
Well to be fair, if one beer ruined his life, than he would’ve become an alcoholic anyway

Anyone noticed how Homer made the last draw, reaching for the last egg which clearly wasn't the black one and still breathed a sigh of relief? First time I noticed that and I've watched this episode like 10 times.
There was no way to know it wasn't the black one, presumably the liquid it was in concealed what color they actually we're.

Duffman & The Duffettes.
"my vehicle"

Oh no...oh no...not tonight...NOT TONIGHTTTTT!

91% of traffic accidents from 6 guys that’s a lot
Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff
Before Uber, Barney had to be a designated driver
Cabs existed
I don't know how big Springfield is, but cabs need to be in a pretty sizeable city to make sense. Also the plot demanded Barney to drive.
