Pretty nice.
"Marge, if I die on that operating table tomorrow, will you do something for me?"
"Anything, dear."
"Blow up the hospital."
>>71897007
How do taxes work in the US? In Australia it's deducted form your pay by your employer and you can file a tax return at the end of the financial year.
>>71897007
"sir, why did you wait till the last minute to file your taxes?"
"because I'm an idiot, ok?"
>>71897917
>get taxes taken from paycheck
>every april send in a finance report so the state and federal government can make sure they took out enough
that's the very simple version
>>71897007
>I paid my taxes over a year ago

The last bit where Lisa tells him and he realizes and starts panicking is amazing.
The sleepover leading to Bart's makeover in the flaming moes episode

My favourite is the plot swerve in fear of flying.

Which one was the trampoline? Trarampoline! bit?
>>71897971
Why does literally every other first world country manage to take out taxes out in an instant but you have to do all this shit in the US?
>>71899434
because the IRS is an illegal and unconstitutional institution
>>71898214
>the way Mr. Burns' facial expression changes when the weight of the medal almost pulls him down
Its in the details

2:34 lisa explains the problem with the simpsons
>>71899715
income tax is just a form of control. after the gold standard was abolished all government revenue could be generated freely, discretely, and arbitrarily.
wake up sheeple. why would taxes need to exist in a world where the government can just print more money?
>>71900006
>why would taxes need to exist in a world where the government can just print more money?
Because that would devalue the money and cause runaway inflation.
>>71900006
>why would taxes need to exist in a world where the government can just print more money
i'm legitimately not sure if you're trolling
most of modern economics is fucking nonsense built on worse fucking nonsens nonsense, but how do you not understand what currency devaluation is?
>>71900094
>>71900117
and just how fucking stupid are you? if there were no taxes it literally wouldn't. it's like a balance scale, think a little morons!
>>71900150
>>71897026
>Infowars
>>71899434
Uhhh. Based on that aussie's explanation, it works the exact same way.
When you get a job, you fill out a sheet that estimates your tax liabilities. The employer then withholds the tax liabilities on a paycheck-to-paycheck basis. Then you fill it out again at the end of the year and write or receive a check for the difference owed.
>>71897007
>Saving New Years
Why is Wiggum so based?
>>71896895
I never understood this joke, why were they offended by Homer's rasta hat?
>>71900543
Because Homer was wearing it.
>>71900543
because they think he's a narc
>>71900543
He was doing the "hello fellow kids" routine and they saw right through it, they thought he was an undercover cop trying to bust them for drug possession.
>>71900673
Why would they think he's a narc?
>>71900760
because he's wearing a hat that screams LMAO WEED and is trying way too hard to fit in
also they're cynical teenagers
>>71899944
Not really, the problem with the Simpsons go much further than it being old.
It's problem is mainly due to the show being written by retarded millennials that watch Family Guy and have no respect for the early seasons.
>>71900810
>Family Guy comes out
>Basically plagiarizes entire early Simpsons episodes
>Success of Family Guy worries Simpsons execs, they decide to make show more LOLRANDUMB
>Simpsons writers start aping their own imitators
what a pathetic decline
>>71898647
>Aussie
>Accents identical to the Simpson's standard English accent
It's not exactly an accurate representation of Australians... except for the Prime Minister: he's like the horrific hybrid of Hawke and eerily prescient of Abbot.
>>71901608
It does reflect how people viewed Australia at the time and in some parts of the country this video is literally 100% accurate. In any case it's a classic episode and people here love it.
>>71901805
>In any case it's a classic episode and people here love it.
No argument here. bloody 'struth
>>71901890

BEAR TAX
>>71899093
It was the one where self help guru Brad Goodman tells everyone to embrace their inner Bart.
>>71902017
Wait, really?
How did that transition work out again? it's apparently been a long time since I saw that one
>>71900543
Because he's a guy in his late 30s that was trying hard to be "down with it".
It was obvious to everyone who saw him he was pulling off the "hello fellow cool kids" routine.
>>71902053
Marge says the trampoline was a bad idea constantly, family tells her she's a nagger and flips out.
Her sisters tell her she need Brad Goodman in her life.
>>71901977
>fosters
Except for that one glaring inaccuracy.
>>71902225
well it was written by yanks for yanks, what do you expect
The entire run up to Homer enrolling in Clown College is the greatest 5 minutes in Simpsons history.
>New billboard day!
>pffft, Clown College, you can't eat that
>that advertisment had no affect on me what so ever

>Yes Homie doo doo doodledoo

Simpsons background chatter is the best
>>71901977
Its teeming. TEEMING. infested with... jokes:
>Every background character is in Mad Max character, post-apocalyptic garb
>"Parliament-haus der Aus(tral)ia
>Snake is the first PM
>"Hopping Mad Collection Agency"... fuck I love anything that incorporates a boxing kangaroo
>Lisa totally conning Bart with "in fact in Rand McNally they wear hats on their feet, and Hamburgers eat people"

Eating the evidence.. why was this a thing!?
>the slide suggesting assassinating Castro
>The American Flag
>>71907478
>Aus(tral)ia
Might wanna check those parentheses, buddy.
>>71907766
Well spotted.
>>71907478
that's what sets apart classic simpsons from just about every other tv show imo... the density of jokes.
In a good episode like the one you refer to, there's barely a single wasted scene, everything is just side-splittingly good.
>tobias did you accept a 6 ow-ah collect call from the states?
>eet was an eemergency, from the intanational drainaj commishionah
>>71901977
>helicopter takes off
>alright lads let em have it!!!!!
>suddenly everyone in the crowd is holding a fosters can
>>71902342
>i don't think any of us expected him to say that
>>71900237
The guy is joking, you fucking idiots.
Wait, no love for Deep Space Homer's lead in? (which is also arguably the greatest Simpsons episode).
>this inanimate carbon rod
>oh no another boring space launch; change the channel!
>We've been beaten by...a Connie Chung christmas!
>Hey Wilson, I supercharged my ride-on wump-wump-wump-wump-wump. Guess it's back to jail for me, wump-wump-wump-wump-wump
>Eurrrrrrgh, no Peg *flushes*

>That whole thing about them being an unorganized mob with an appointment time
>We had to drink our own toilet water
>Barney getting shot with the tranq gun and then eating
Genius
>>71911131
>We're here, we're queer, we don't want anymore bears
Holy shit. I'm dying.
I need to rewatch the simpsons now.
>>71911207
Classic Simpsons is so layered, especially with the whole thing about Mr Burns writing the greatest American novel with a room full of monkeys. The classic joke being the monkeys would produce Shakespeare but that's actually A Tale of Two Cities opening lines.

Bear Patrol leading in Apu's immigration plot
What's a good series to start with? Feel like watching some of the classics.
>>71899434
Well for a lot of people your employer gave too much to the government so if you don't file then you can't get a refund.
>>71898251
>So you want a realistic, down to earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots?
That's still one of my favorites lines in the show.
>>71912159
Series or season?
If season then start at 2.
>>71909532
The best part is homer was doing it too
>>71912504
Yeah, season.
What season do I stop watching at? 10 is it?
>>71911029
>>71911131
>are they getting louder or just stupider?
>uh both sir. They want the bear patrol but they don't want to pay more taxes.
>>71912565
I'd say go to the end of 9. 9 was half bad, but the half that was good was still really good.
10 went really downhill and is only worth it for specific episodes.
>Dozens of people are gunned down each day, but until now, none of them was important. I'm Kent Brockman. At 3:00 PM Friday, local autocrat C. Montgomery Burns was shot, following a tense confrontation at town hall. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was then taken to a better hospital where his condition was upgraded to "alive."
still the best
The city realizing Burns owes tons of money, which starts the Monorail episode.
>>71902462
Same I hadn't seen it and that one episode where Skinner chases Bart and walks through the river was so strange and creepy
>>71912710
I always just assumed he was supposed to be like the Terminator there
The trading fair or whatever it was in Homer's Barbershop Quartet. The Melvin bit made me lose my shit so many times when I was a kid.

>You know, most people don't know the difference between apple cider and apple juice, but I do! Now, here's a little trick to help you remember: If it's clear and yella, you've got juice there, fella! If it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town! Now, there's two exceptions, and it gets kinda tricky here: Adirondack cider can be yellow IF you're using late-season apples. And of course, in Canada the whole thing's flip-flopped.
>>71912710
Is that scene actually in Westworld? I remember it usually starts a big argument about whether or not it's a reference, which turns into a debate about the Mandela Effect or some nonsense.
>>71897007
thank fuck for turbotax I don't even give a fuck about getting a little extra out of a return I just want them to shut the fuck up about it
