So this is like, Season 0?

It’s honestly insane to think that The Simpsons have been around since the time of the late USSR, and still running to this day

Crazy, when the Simpsons first aired on FOX, I was a year younger than Lisa. Now I'm older than Homer and Marge.

Love how creepy and monotone the parents are in the first episode, then Homer, all of a sudden laughs normally

"What is mind,no matter. what is matter, never mind HEHEHEHE" homer's weird laugh still haunts my brain to this day

It's weird but also refreshing to see Lisa be mean

This show has potential..I'm sure it will go far...

These shorts always gave me the feeling of those 90s comic strips. I can’t help but imagine an alternate universe where the Simpsons started off as that.

“Burp, I’m mean Bart” gets me everytime 😂😂

I love the idea that the Simpson's house is at the top of a mountain with a cliff on the other side and that Homer has burrowed a fallout shelter into the mountain like the government.

3:14 I love this leaping segment lmao

I was a year old when the Simpsons first appeared in the Tracey Ullman show and grew up with the Simpsons ever since and I still watching the Simpsons. :D

The original Legend of Zelda had only come out in the US 5 months prior to these shorts first airing. Just mind boggling to think The Simpsons have been a part of our pop culture landscape for that long.

This version of Lisa is so much more realistic and tolerable.

The crude but fluid animation is why I always loved these shorts, the sound design too isn’t bad

It was nice to see Angry Dad in its entirety.

Wasn't ready for 11:48 She talked 😮 Thankful to get to see these, never got to watch them all before!

5:08 I love when Bart's face does that... '_'

What it's like to watch the Simpsons on an acid trip

It's so good. The simplicity of the jokes. The humility of the situations. The authenticity of the characters. Lisa and Maggie doing that frantic goofy dance at 30:48, kids being over excited at any slight deviation from the boring routine, there's something so innocent and genuine about it. It has that very early seasons 1-3 vibe, which makes me laugh even more than seasons 4-8. But that's just me.

I met David Silverman in 1984, and was happy for him when he got this gig.

I love these shorts so much... The way Bart's eyes bounce off his head when he falls, the complete lack of windows in their house, and at 42:15 there are 5 doorways behind Homer and Marge! How many rooms does this house have!? lmao

Fun fact: the scream in Bart the hero was reused in the Simpsons first season

It would be so cool if they made a tv show about these guys

Rock a bye baby is actually terrifying. I neber thought about it before but to see it illustrated 😮

My mom's favorite was Bart and the funeral. That's one that really cracked her up.😅

Quite frankly, I love the old/earliest Tracey Ullman Show's designs of the Simpsons Since I saw that special episode with Troy McLore

This was a trip, you could see what was later implemented in the show and what was cut like homer being krusty. References or reusing of story elements can be seen like, again, homer feeding the dolphin in season 3 or the family therapy in season 1. The crude ugly drawings at the start gradually becoming what we would be defined going forward by the end. Lisa being mean and acting like a kid with Bart and Maggie was a treat. The paintings on the walls were hilarious. The fact that all 48 clips are here in all various quality truly laments on why history should be preserved.

Being British, I've never seen these before. I especially like how the animation evolved from quite basic to the quality that's been the mainstay of the show ever since. Thankyou for posting them.

The "Walther Mattheau" Homer. Before Dan Castellneta had to change it because he couldn't maintain emotions with it in quick succession.

The Tracy Ullman Simpsons is my favorite anime.

I remember watching the Tracy Ulman show just for this.

I think The Simpsons bumpers are the only reason why I "watched" the Tracy Ulman show. I remember several of these shorts but can't remember one thing about the main show they were meant to complement.

these used to be easily found until about a year ago but now we have this video

All these episodes are so calming and relaxing to watch and I feel like watching them at night so I can get nice and cozy ❤☁️

Still better than modern simpsons

58:20 homer: baaaart!!!!!! Bart: uh oh

49:22 homer: bart? homer: why you little!!!!!!

It's nice to see them evolve to their current designs.

0:23 what happened with Bart's eye? 8:04 "BURP I MEAN BART" 8:53 10:54 that vhs beep

3:09 When even the outro gives you nostalgia

It's funny growing up and watching that Troy McLure episode where they showed these clips I thought it was just a joke... Turns out I was wrong and these are actually the first Simpson episodes ahaha This is so cool thank you

There needs to be a Walter Matthau biography and Dan could narrate the audiobook version.

Awww, Man, Uncle Hubert was my favorite character... ;n;

AH the birth of the Simpsons! thanks Tracy Ullman! 😀👍

2:13 fellas we just found the take the L sound origin

I thought there were only a handful! Thanks for uploading.

Thank you for putting them all together, it's nice to be able to watch them all at once!

I see this original shorts as if modern Bart, Lisa and Millhouse sat down to write their interpretation of their lives and how they see everyone and everything. The animation looks like done by kids, so in a way if fits and is still enjoyable. On a side note, it is so awesome to see the transition of these beloved characters to modern times throughout the years and how long they've been around.

I want a modern episode of The Simpsons to redo that gag with Bart jumping off of the table.

11:43 This would be the premise of a SpongeBob episode 24 years after this

The early Simpsons artstyle is truly cursed

Before I was even born but yet. Love watching this born Jan 16th 1994 . Crazy to see how the worlds changed. I miss the 90s and early 2000s. 🎉life was so simple

Dan did a great Matthau impression.😊😊

1:37 10:11 13:28 18:52 23:08 28:36 29:09 my favorite parts

😂 Groening is different. Thanks for uploading this.

There is something actually quite comforting about these. Like it's way before the show has been stretched out becoming diluted but also lacks the edgyness of the main series. I like to think to myself to think what if we got something more similar to this instead.

They all laughed after being kicked out the Office. Best part.

It's pathetic that these crudely animated shorts are still a hell of a lot better than the majority of episodes in years.

When I first watched this on the Tracy Ullman show I couldn’t get enough. Thought it was hilarious at that time!! Wanted to see more

This is awesome. I always wished this was released on DVD. They could have called it: _THE SIMPSONS: Eat My Shorts._ Regardless, thanks for posting...😎👍

its amazing, what can become so popular years later

Oh wow. AWESOME! Cant believe this was recommended to me. Brilliant!!!

Homer really bullies his kids in Tracey Ullman Show

Back when Lisa was a fun character and not a soap box microphone.

Maggie talks @ 11:49.

Aside from a few of these shorts that were shown on that episode of The Simpsons Troy McClure hosted, I've never seen any of these before. This was a lot of fun to watch. The end of the family therapist one made me laugh the most.

9:24 homers face is the same as in the first episode

This is awesome. Thank you.

39:21 homer: bart! grandpa: homer?! Homer: what grandpa:leave for me

I had never seen these oldies. Thanks.

37:58: Homer Simpson: “ah, come on, where’s your sense of humor?” 38:03: My thoughts: “Should’ve left that so-called “sense of humor” in the car!”

0:44 this song is very relax

I used to watch this show when Fox66 was a new station (1987). Married with Children was another new show on the channel. This was when there were 4 other local stations, ABC,NBC,CBS and PBS.

Well that's the last time we take you kids to somewhere.

Ah, those Simpsons; they haven't changed a bit!

I really enjoyed this. I thought I had seen all of the sketches but I was wrong. I was surprised at how well drawn and amusing, some of the sketches are.

LOL it's the Life in Hell comics

Cool. This saves me from hooking up my vcr to watch them. Except, I would have to sift through entire episodes of Tracey Ullman to see them. The cool thing is that all of the Simpson characters were actors on the show. Marge played Rhoda’s sister in the mid 70’s on the series Rhoda. But I have a feeling that a lot of you are too young to remember that.

Maggie used to be so vocal

I remember watching Simpsons the very first time it aired on The Tracey Ullman Show. It's still going, and Tracey Ullman been off the air.

16:11 "this is one small step for a kid, one giant leap, for kid kong"

Love the original animation when this was a short on the Tracey Ulman Show

1:52 one of the most randomest fights I've seen

I kind of like this animation style better than the ones that came later. 🤷‍♂️

As a kid i did not have cable for years but i had a box set of season 1 of the simpsons that i watched religiously so it just always feels more "right" when Homer sounds like this.

Who knew 75 years later is would still be on...

At the time we thought this was cutting edge and cool. There wasnt any other cartoon / adult stuff going. I liked it since day one.

I’ve never seen Maggie used so much! She’s more of a main character than Marge and Homer!

I like how they gradually began to look more like the shows pilot

11:50 maggie did talked...since 1987 !!!!!!

This is so much more wholesome than The Simpsons.

20:04 if you listen closely, you’ll hear homer repeatedly yelling bart silently

These episodes need to be available on Disney+

it's really weird seeing genuine VHS artifacts after all the analog horror that's been going around recently

0:43 This nursery rhyme probably dates back to the bubonic plague much like ring around the rosie where the original meaning of it was very unsettling

The legendary Tracy Ullman Show of the late 80’s. This is where it all began.😊
