I am surprised that you didn't mention a line of dialogue that Hibbert mentions in Season 10 about how laughter is the best coping mechanism against stress, and is the reason he chuckles so frequently. It really makes you rethink about his character with that information.

We need an a history episode on those Shelbyville jerks and their attractive cousins.

A Simpsons Histoires on Kearny would be interesting. He’s such a deep character for some reason

I think Homers Brain should get the Simpsons Histories treatment. A very interesting and layered character

I know it's not a character, but i would like a Simpsons Histories on Shelbyvill.

“Every time we see Dr. Hibbert, we’re bringing a tiny bit of 1991 to 2021.” Wow, that’s such a bar. 💰💰💰

You know who needs a Simpsons Histories? Jasper Beardsley. There's a shocking amount of snippets into his life, especially a big piece of backstory from a deleted scene with Rev. Lovejoy.

The Hibbert laugh is so iconic I sometimes find myself laughing in a very similar manner naturally, just because its so ingrained into my subconscious

Dr. Hibbert has the reputation for becoming too much like Dr. Nick in the later years. So for this one, I really wanted to get into the weeds with this character study, go over a lot of the examples to see if this actually happened or not. This ended up being a less conventional Simpsons Histories, as there less relationship and character arc stuff to go over, and more the plot stuff and meta/production aspects surrounding the character.

I love how in the flashbacks, he has a different hairstyle every time

Early on, Hibbert was one of those Marge-type characters, like Flanders, Smithers or Helen Lovejoy, that acted like a person in the real world would and added a sense of realism to Springfield

i once again nominate the barflies, sam and larry. probably the most disproportionate amount of screentime vs spoken lines of any characters.

A Simpsons History on either Carl or Lenny or even both would be extremely interesting. They’ve both been in a bunch of episodes but most people just see them as Homer’s co-workers and drinking pals, and hell the Carl spotlight episode in season 24 gave us some interesting insight on Carl’s past

"We want to give opportunities to more minority voice actors... So we hired one who already has one of the longest resumes in that industry." - Hollywood thinking everybody

I know its not neccesarily as small time a character as this series mostly focuses on, but I really think a discussion of the seperation and diverging characterisation Patty and Selma had would be a really interesting topic. Like they've changed considerably from their near same character status from the pilot to today.

I think one of my favorite Simpsons memes is Hibbert punching people. Classic ToH joke

Simpsons fans: "I can't explain Hibbert's history... can you..?" TheRealJims: "Well, I'll give it a go, I mean, it's my job."

I always felt like Dr. Hibbert in his earlier years was a parody of Bill Cosby from the Cosby Show, what with him being a wholesome black Doctor with quirky mannerisms like his laugh.I wonder if a spotlight episode on him would have even worked. He seemed to work best in one-off appearances on an episode, in and out before his character could have gotten stale.

Captain McCallister for the next Simpsons Histories? A lot of people don't even know his actual name and just call him "The Sea Captain", that's the sign of a character worth diving into more (no pun intended).

Excuses about Dr Hibbert's VA change in S32 are why characters like Apu are being erased from television shows such as The Simpsons.

I think Hibbert having two long lost brothers would make for good Simpsons Mysteries episode.

He's honestly one of the best characters imo, he perfectly fits the straight man role, while still feeling like he belongs in Springfield.

I hope Sideshow Mel gets covered one day. He has such a backstory if you look for it

A simpson histories on Moe Syzslak would be very interesting, but also extremely long imo

I like how Bernice is still wearing that very early-90s jacket with the big shoulder pads. Lol

I remember that I often thought that it was weird that a big family like Hibbert's was never expanded upon, and that I would like to know more about the. But I also think that this desire is probably more important than its resolution, because it would probably be disappointing. It's good to want something of a show that you will never get, it adds to the few mysteries that remain. Also, Hibbert's family is just too detached from the usual cast to justify a whole episode about them. They're from a different world, they wouldn't have anything more to share than in a normal episode.

I would be interested to see... NED FLANDERS. Specifically a study of the phenomenom known as "flanderization" where his satirical traits were gradually amped up so that season 2 Flanders is a totally different person from season 22 Flanders. The man even used to make and drink his own beer

A fascinating little trivia fact for me is that originally he was going to be a white woman named Julia Hibbert, but once the staff found out they were gonna be going head-to-head with the Cosby Show during Season 2 they decided to make him a Cosby parody instead. I wonder what the female version of Dr. Hibbert would've been like and how she would've gotten used, because the show doesn't have many recurring female characters who aren't primarily defined as wives and/or mothers. Curious if they ever drew up any designs for her before she was scrapped, because if so, I'd love to see them.

'I too have a brother I'll never see, he went on to be a Jazz musician or some such. oh well, Bye bye'

Kevin Michael Richardson has had consistent work since the 90's. The voice change gave zero new opportunities to anyone.

How about a Histories episode about Snake or Bumblebee Man?

With how many times the Simpson family has gotten hurt over the years, barring his shady side, it's understandable why Hibbert charge so much.

I am once again asking for a Simpsons Histories on Artie Ziff

His voice actor changed in season 32 you say... I will never be affected by this

Hibbert is one of those characters people don't think about, yet when you look at it, he actually suffered greatly from the show turning into a wacky cartoon. The show already had a quack in Dr. Nick Rivera, yet the series transitions Hibbert into a malpractice dodging shyster.

1:58 "Dr. Hibbert as a Cosby parody" Ah yes, that joke aged well.

Hibbert definitely stands out as one of those characters who is based on reality. Just a doctor one of the team met in life who had a funny laugh then they wrote it in

Since you mentioned Snowball in the video, I think it would be interesting to see a Simpsons histories about the simpson family pets.

I completely forgot that he was introduced in season 2. He seems like a season one character to me because of how frequently he appears.

I'm genuinely shocked to hear lenny has never had a spotlight episode. Hes had so many goofy moments, but I hope one day all eyes are on Lenny!

I think the reason why his wife doesn't leave him despite the affairs is because he's a doctor with a ton of money 🤣

Dr. Hibbert is for sure one of the characters of all time.

In my mind Bernice became an alcoholic to cope with the constant infidelity in the beginning but I think she stays bc of the money and status and probably has her own thing on the side as well, that's just my theory tho

I'd like to see a sequel to "just stamp the ticket" man. That was almost 3 years ago, and so much has happened with him since/

Best scene is definitely the "Terror Sweat" scene. It shows everything Hibbert is, a good doctor but also a bit of a jokester with a slight hint at him being a pricey doctor as well.

"I thought tonight was the Rocky Horror picture show..." *Chuckles*

"He's not the kinda character that would pop up in Moe's for a one liner" "Don't snap my undies"

Simpsons Histories on Maggie? It would be cool to deep dive into a core member of the Simpsons family who is often forgotten.

now he's voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, the voice of The Batman's Joker. So all I hear that character when watching the newer simpsons.

Squeaky Voiced Teen! He's probably got the most international doppelgangers in the series.

One of my favorite things about this channel is the music. Ive replayed ocirina of time already because of this channel :)

does hibbert still have the cosby sweaters? i can't really recall a recent episode that had them, i would imagine they'd want to drop that aspect of him, but i could also see them keeping it with the mindset that it's grown into its own thing within the show.

I’d love to see a Simpsons History on Cletus! The guy has a huge family, does a bunch of odd jobs, and has some great moments, so certainly there’s some interesting history surrounding him

My favorite scene with him is the terror sweat scene. One of my favorites!

I'm still gonna cast my vote for Seymour Skinner. He brings a lot of different kind of jokes to the show, whether at school, at home with his mother, his romantic shortcomings, and he's even a war veteran, all wrapped up into one character. He's someone who presents himself so confidently, yet he's so incompetent at almost everything he does and I find that fascinating.

Not gonna lie, juxtaposing Hibbert’s love for the ladies with his Cosby parodies has got me thinking conspiracy theories 🤔

Disco Stu, has some History too

I'd love to see a Lindsey Naegle video. She's one of the few characters I can think of that was introduced as late as Season 8 who went on to be recurring. It'd be interesting to see solely how Modern Simpsons develops a character

I completely forgot about the whole Snowball II thing. Man, that was a stressful episode to watch. Haven't watched it since it first aired, but it stuck with me. On that note, an episode on Snowball II (or, 'the Snowballs', I guess you could call them) would be neat.

Most importantly, Hibbert loves to laugh. But only if something tickles him just right.

I will always love this series. It’s so chill and yet so intriguing. My attention never lapses for a moment because you are so engaging Mr Jims, and along with the music it sets the atmosphere and the pace for what we are about to watch. I agree, I would love to see a spotlight episode to see what his life is like. I feel it would be a melancholy take, as comedians such as himself usually have the most touching and depressing backstories. For your next character, I would be interest in Marge’s mother. I feel she is sometimes constantly there for a short time and then drops off of the face of the earth for ages. The dynamic between her and Marge, her and Patty and Selma, her and Homer, her and grandpa and as well as the rest of the family is interesting. I feel there is both a love and disdain for her? At least from what I vaguely remember. It would mean that you would have all the grandparents covered :). Keep up the fantastic work! You always make my day!

Dr. Hibbert's name in Czech dubbing, Dr. Dlaha, translates as Dr. Splint.

So glad I found this channel and subbed!

I think squeaky voice teen would be interesting as it took him a long time to become consistent in his appearance, mannerisms, and even name, seemed to have one of the slowest rises to prominence of any character

I think a fundamental reason for Hibbert never having a spotlight episode may deal with his inspiration and appearance being heavily influenced by Bill Cosby from the Cosby show, like if they wanted to do an episode focused on Hibbert they should have done one WAY before any controversy with that actor had happened.

He is one of my favourite especially his laugh

Something bothers me every time I hear this episode. If getting more voice actors opportunities in the industry was the goal, they wouldn't have hired Kevin Michael Richardson.

Shelbyville! They swore they'd get back at us by spiking our water supply but they didn't have the guts.

a duo episode of skinner and chalmers might be a good idea, ive always liked their dynamic and it works especially well in the season 32 episode road to cincinnati

"After buying a stake in a restaurant, he suddenly is in support of eating contests." Hooray for wordplay! Also, my vote is for squeaky-voiced teen. "Mr. Wembley, it happened again!"

I had a shit day and that second opinion pun you opened with made me laugh my ass off! Thank you very much for that dude.

Could you do Lunchlady Doris next? When I watched your last Simpsons Showdown, I realized, that her voice actress had a role in The Critic too, also named Doris.

It's weird that his biggest roles in the series are in the non canon Treehouse of Horror segments

I want the history of Cletus. I feel like his backstory is very convoluted, but he's surprisingly connected to the family.

I spent the last month washing every season of Disney plus, and only after washing this I realised 'damn, Hibbert must he the last side character who HASNT had a spotlight'

this man just will not miss banger after banger

I would kill for a Shelbyville episode. Lemon of Troy is my all-time favorite Simpsons episode.

oh BABY a new history vid, fantastic i don’t even care that it’s 2am rn

Yo new vid what a great way to start my Friday

You are killing it lately!

I've refused to watch a single episode containing any of the recasted voices. This practice is so ridiculous. Anyway, good video Jims.

13:55 See that's how I have seen it. Bernice only had the problem when it was a professional point of interest, but they are polyamorous/swingers/open. Even in those relationships there are rules.

I love this channel because when I go back to work on Monday, and my coworker asks me what I did on the weekend, I can say I watched a KZfaq video about Dr. Hibbert from the simpsons.

We need a SH on the Charles Bronsen voiced Wiseguy-- the smartass worker dude that does all the different jobs.

I would love to watch a video on Lenny and his constant eye troubles.

12:43 Sometimes your editing just does and it gets me lol Keep up the good work

Thanks for this dude. Great analysis video.👨‍⚕️👍

Ironically, I was watching the Dr. Nick video earlier. It was pretty good.

I'm impressed by the way you cover the voice acting change while avoiding the huge mess that often comes with discussing it.

Hibbert punching through that frame is one of my favourite visual jokes in the series. Also, is he the least hideous of the face-on shot simpsons characters?

Love these videos!

My sister my sitter Lisa: arnt you afraid I'll do drugs and hurt your kids Hibbert: yes that is a mild concern but its so hard to find a sitter- and I have judo tonight Nurse: you can't do surgery in the dark Hibbert: sounds like a wager to me Kristy: I'll take a piece of that Dr Hibbert is really good at few second gags rather then long drawn out diatribes

"A Michael Jackson version of a Cosby sweater" oh no

I love this videos. So chill.

Even though I haven't watched an episode in years, I can't help feeling glad that some things are seeming to last since I was born

That's shit changing voice actors give the job to the best person skin or sex gender doesn't matter, I'll never get behind that moment who vex lost.

My vote for Simpsons Histories is for Kent Brockman. I think there's a decent amount to dive into with his editorializing of the news, and I'd be interested to see if we get a good glimpse of his life off-camera!

These videos are so good

I'd like to see a history of the guy who's changed the most: Flanders.

I still want a Jimbo episode. Or even that trio.
