"No, it's German for 'the Bart, the'," is such a perfect line, both in writing and delivery.

''Hello Bart'' ''Rakes my old arch enemy'' Bart: ''I thought i was your arch enemy' ' Bob: ''I have a life outside of you Bart''

“He’s just a little shy because I’ve tried to kill him so many times”. “Ah”.

Having sideshow Bob be the main character in his episodes is pretty funny considering his name

"Hey kids, who wants to drive through that cactus patch?" "Yeah!" Yeah!" "No!"

"Lisa, you don't spend years as a homicidal maniac without learning a few things about dynamite"

“I was wondering, if you could give me a 20 minute Simpson’s Histories on Sideshow Bob.” “Very well, viewers! I shall send you to heaven, before I send you to hell.”

>"As much as I grumble about the newer seasons..." Nerrugherrugh...

Last video: "After a big project, I wanna do someone a bit more obscure, like Ms. Hoover or Duffman." DOES SIDESHOW BOB

"Use a pen, Sideshow Bob!" Is one of my favorite Snake lines

Bob is responsible for the funniest simpsons line ever IMO "This is a normal day is it?" "......I just wanted to impress you"

'attempted murder ha...do they give a nobel prize for attempted chemistry'

-I will watch the video even if it’s about Bob. -I will watch the video even if it’s about Bob. -I will watch the video even if it’s about Bob. 🖍-Bart Simpson

“The Bob Next Door” was actually the first exposure I had to the character, and it’s interesting how it kind of reboots Sideshow Bob, focusing on his relationship with Bart apart from his extended family, or even Krusty to some extent. I could tell that there was a lot of history to the character, and while I was a little lost, that’s what made the character intriguing to me. Nowadays, I’m always happy to see him return, but I agree with the sentiment that his story more or less ended in Season 8.

"By the way I'm aware of the irony of appearing on television in order to decry it, so don't bother pointing that out."

“Cecil, no civilisation in history has ever considered chief hydrological engineer a *calling*.” “Ahem...” “The Cappadocians...fine!”

“Your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down inside you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals and RULE YOU LIKE A KING.” Ahh Classic Bob and Burns were the perfect villains.

The entirety of Shelbyville sounds fascinating actually, I didn't think this series would go beyond characters. I guess that's my vote!

I'd love to see a Simpsons histories on Captain McAllister. A lot of people don't even know his actual name, they just call him the Sea Captain, and he's been around since the very early seasons.

As a huge Frasier fan, I love Funeral for a Fiend and Brother from another series Especially the “Maris?” Line from Cecil

When I was a kid, I got a Simpsons Comic where Cecil has a rivalry with Lisa - pretty clever idea and shame that the comics came up with better stuff than the later show.

A little sad that you didn't mention the Simpsons Ride at the Universal Studios Parks, since they pretty much wrote the ride to be a Sideshow episode and having the ride plot around him. Kinda makes sense when you think that it originally was suppost to be a "Power Plant" theme ride, but they had to change it when Harry Shearer didn't accept the contract, but still. The Simpsons only have one Theme park Ride and they made sure to Include Bob and Kelsey Grammer's Perfomance on it center and focus and I find that very interesting and worth discussing.

Ended up being a bit of delay between videos this time, partially due to some technical difficulties and not having much free time to work on this. Maybe things will relax a bit in October, but you never know with 2020. Hopefully I'll be able to think of a Halloween special, as well.

Bob: “what about the baffoon lessons? The 4 years at clown college?” Cecil: “ I’ll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way.”

Of the ones you’ve mentioned, Shelbyville as a whole sounds pretty interesting actually. Maybe capital city too if we’re talking locations. As for just people, it will probably be a very short video if you don’t have many strong opinions about him, but since they brought him back a few times , maybe an episode on frank grimes?

It's actually sad, how many intelligent, and reliable characters has been broken by The Simpsons and Simpsons family personally.

I'd love to see a Simpsons histories on Quimby. Rarely has a big impact on the plot but is always memorable

NO, SELMA, THIS IS LYING: THAT WAS A WELL-PLOTTED PIECE OF NON-CLAPTRAP THAT NEVER MADE ME WANT TO RETCH.

Sideshow Bob - "Bart, how would you like to do something incredibly noble?" Bart - "Do I have a choice?" Sideshow Bob - "...no."

Still waiting for old Jewish man to get a Simpsons history episode

Still waiting and hoping for Lenny... He is more than just Carl's friend

[THWACK] [Bob growling]

A Simpsons History on Shelbyville would make for an intriguing watch. Its past, present, and future rivalry with Springfield has been a running gag in the show.

I think the trouble with later Sideshow Bob is that there's potential there, but it's buried under the ramped up wackiness. The earlier seasons were good at balancing the tonal differences between seasons with the main point of the story, but the later episodes tend to get too invested in one side which means the actual plot tends to wander off and ends up unsatisfying and just weird rather than funny.

I really liked this video especially 1:40 for some reason

Sideshow Bob has always been one of my favorite characters. Most of my favorite Simpsons episodes are Sideshow Bob episodes. He's such an entertaining character to watch.

When I rewatched the series in order some time ago- it kinda dawned on me that Bob's revenge plots on Bart specifically only happened a couple of times yet the show seemed to always treat it as thought he'd attempted several times to kill Bart early on.

My single favorite Sideshow Bob quote is: "Oh Cousin Merle, really!" I don't know why it just always makes be burst out laughing.

As someone who has avoided most of the newer episodes hearing the crazy ass plots just made me question what is going on with Modern Simpsons

My favourite Sideshow Bob moment was "Especially Lisa... but Especially Bart"

Another great video! The amount of research you do for these videos is always appreciated!

as someone who has never seen the Sideshow Bob neighbor episode, they definitely did NOT have to make his face falling off a running gag.

I suddenly have an urge to listen to the HMS Pinafore in its entirety.

wait. sideshow bob wasn't in any of those early treehouse of horrors? he's so violent i thought they would have used him more!

I think the problem with Sideshow Bob in the later seasons is that after his redemption episode they didn't really know what to do with him, so they just kept jumping back and fourth from him being redeemable, to him being even more evil than before.

Bob got me to use "BY LUFICER'S BEARD" when I stubbed my toe instead of swearing, thanks Bob.

That's it, we need a Sideshow Mel episode now!

I always thought it was interesting how he's considered Bart's nemesis, when Lisa puts in easily over 50% of the effort in foiling his schemes. I kinda want to check that Bob-Lisa episode out, they seem like they would have chemistry with one another when each of them loves being the smartest person in the room. Black Widower has got to be my favorite Bob episode just because we get all the threatening plans and mystery of Bob without some of the cartoonishness that debuted in Cape Feare. FWIW, I'd love to see a Shelbyville episode!

i think i speak for all of us when i say i'd love to see you cover the barflys, sam and larry, the characters who probably have the most mismatched appearances-to-lines-spoken ratio of the whole cast.

"Bake him away toys."

i think a shelbyville history would be AMAZING.

personally I love the Great Louse Detective "how can one man have SO many enemies?"

Sideshow Bob was such a necessary Simpsons histories character. Would love to see one on either Chief Wiggum or Willie

Funeral for a fiend is actually great, imo. Bob was such a manipulator that he made Bart look like the bad guy and him as a guy who did nothing wrong in front of all Springfield. This is actually a pretty clever commentary on the manipulation of the masses and in the end even Bart started feeling guilty, out of peer pressure. Then we got one of the most chilling one liners in the show. m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdKZqaRiqt6tdXU.html Bart: Now everyone wants me to be in that coffin instead of you! Bob(slowly opens the coffin): Then lets give the people... WHAT THEY WANT!!! Call me edgy, but sideshow bob episodes need to have a dark atmosphere like Cape Feare. Its kinda like the invader zim in the simpsons. A goofy show suddently becomes surprisingly dark and serious out of nowhere in a way it makes sense, while still having goofy moments here and there.

I'll be honest: I think Sideshow Bob has an almost perfect record of episodes. I even like The Italian Bob, and I hate travel episodes. I admit that in the HD era it started getting spotty. There was an episode revolving around genetic manipulation that was all sorts of stupid and even one of my favorite characters couldn't save that one. It's kinda amusing. Krusty the Klown and Sideshow Bob are kinda tied to the nr 1 spot of my favorite Simpsons characters. It's funny that the two characters I love most are so closely related. So about The Bob Next Door: I don't mind it. I think the 'I don't care if you don't have a face!' gag is very funny. It's a mess, but it's funny.

I love Sideshow Bob, I remember watching the episode where he sings HMS Pinafore as a kid. That episode got me into watching Frasier and Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. Kelsey Grammar truly has a masterful voice

Do Maggie next! She may be in every episode but she rarely does much of note. She's gone through a load of changes since the beginning and could definitely make an interesting episode.

My Favorite Simpson Character, I was searching through all your reviews of his episodes.

The Sideshow Bob musical theme is actually the musical theme for the 1962 "Cape Fear", composed by Bernard Herrmann

Even from your description, I really enjoyed Sideshow Bob's semi-redemption arc around the end. It really does feel like he at least somewhat got over his fixation

The rake joke will always be a classic

Soon, we’ll have an episode where Sideshow Bob is the one being targeted by a killer when they’re getting stuck for ideas.

Kirk would be fun, but now I want to see a SIdeshow Mel episode

"I have a life outside of killing you, Bart." - Sideshow Bob on the rakes.

7:55 Considering his hatred of TV, he's likely one of those holier than thou types who think comics have no artistic value

i know i comment this every simpsons histories video but i would like to see kirk. as for sideshow bob, i think the reason he always worked well was because his character was so grounded with a love of the theatrics. post season 8, he's basically a super villain.

With his many many complex scemes Sideshow Bob is by far one of the best villain types of the animation universe.

With Bob's second redemption having happened, I always thought the best angle would be to look at his past instead of resetting him back to villainy once more. There's so many unanswered questions about who Bob was as a person before/during his time on Krusty's show. It's always been heavily implied that he was actually a good person beforehand, and that whatever he experienced working for Krusty sent him down the wrong path.

The funny face he has when he’s placed in the paddy wagon for the first time cracks me up

Can you cover Moe in a future video? He’s one of my favorite characters in the show.

It's always fascinating to see the show deteriorate as it goes along. Following a single character really pushes that aspect forward as the plots get more and more contrived.

Sideshow Bob episodes are the few episodes I look forward to with the newer episodes. Also, I'm a little biased because season 5 is my favorite season as a whole and Cape Feare us my favorite episode of all time.

12:30 After all of the modern episodes we've gotten with Bob, I think the writers should experiment with having him just be one of the various background characters that shows up from time to time. They could probably get away with recording Grammer's lines once a season to spread across multiple episodes, not unlike what they did with Phil Hartman.

"Very Well, I shall send you to heaven, before I send you to hell" " and a one and a two and A We sail the ocean blue and our saucy ship's a beauty"

I’ve been binging all your videos all week. I was so happy when this popped up

I always wondered why he didnt just quit being on the Krusty show.

Thanks! He's one of my favorite characters 👍

The very moment I saw the notification I was here. Sideshow bob is amazing.

I was really looking forward to this one!

great video as always! i love the ideas of the Kirk and Shelbyville histories :)

I've been waiting for this for a loooooong time.

I love it when he and Cecil are together, they need their own show lol

Thanks for uploading this. Sideshow Bob is one of my favourite characters. Too many awesome moments to mention unfortunately. Speaking of next characters to analyse, Professor Frink would be a great choice.

I’ve been waiting for this since I’ve started watching you. I did a literal double take when I saw this in my recommended

“Turns out it’s some guy named Frank Grimes Jr. “ I lol’d hard 😂

Simpsons histories I would like to see: Seymour Skinner Kent Brockman Reverend Lovejoy Mr Burns

I was thinking about if you had made a Sideshow Bob Simpsons Histories yesterday another amazing video like always love this series and your videos keep up the great work :) also, I agree Shelbyville would be a good topic for this series.

Your videos make me happy. Thank you.

I always figured the reason he was banned for life from Comicbook Guy’s store was some pedantic argument about (insert anything Comicbook Guy cares about). Bob was probably technically right as well, and constructed an argument so airtight and perfect that all Comicbook Guy could do in response/retaliation is ban him from the shop.

What about a video for all the non-Bob sideshows (Mel, Raheem , Luke Perry etc)?

Why do I love this KZfaq series so much? I don’t even *watch* the Simpsons, yet it STILL captivates me.

SIDESHOW BOB!!! How on earth did I not think of you making this ages ago hes such a great character

I would love to see a Histories episode on Lenny and/or Carl. Or maybe Moe.

I've never found a palm tree so attractive- Also I really wish they'd bring Francesca and Gino back. He deserves to have his happy family life 😔

Finally! Sideshow Bob is my favourite side character of all time and the performance by Kelsey Grammer is always fantastic, even in the later seasons

been waiting for this one... my favorite character :)

I've been watching your videos a while now, love them lots. keep them up dude. I'm from Cambridge, England. Please do a few more post season 10 episodes, we all know they are not as good, but I think there are some fantastic hidden gems. I have a top ten myself that are as good as any season 1-9 episode

And I assume Francesca was too underdeveloped for them to really keep around....which is entirely their fault.

One of my favorite lines from Bob is his most neutral line but sounds very evil. It's really just his frustration in the episode, but good god it and he sound diabolical: "Sometimes I wish this dam would burst and bury this cursed town."

I was waiting for this one, I still want one on Martin Prince.
