Well his place of business was getting attacked so Homer did kill a few people on his way out and also tackled out James Bond proves why Homer liked Hank didn’t treat him like an idiot

I would kill anybody Hank ask me to kill without question. As Hank is a really cool guy, he maybe a villian but he is still an excellent boss.

Homer did kick a grenade back toward where it came from. I like to imagine that, in a final, sad act of appreciation, Homer killed several people with that blast.

Right? Chaos and calamity happening all around him and he still wants to just hang out and go bowling. Best boss ever!

*Explosion* 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes

A villain doesn't need to be mean, think about the classical disney villains like Hades

@@kyutwoloop5737 it might also have to do with his relationship with Homer.

well thats the biggest mistake they made, hes not a villain, hes a foil, he brings out homers best productive side, he should have been a side character who happened to be caught by the dome and was focused on his science lab and was actually using the dome to further his evil activities while treating homer great while the town itself turned on homer forcing homer to leave, but making homer come back to not only save the town, but have a moral dilemaa between breakign the dome and helping Scorpio, and the best part is, he could have had his freind Hank back and maybe found a compromise where scorpios plan allowed the town to prosper with a dome and a underground highway... and the government then comes and takes the dome because they realize the towns making money from it and not paying ataxes

Just that he's genuine. Some people just talk like that, but they don't actually want to spend time with you. Hank seems like the real deal, he's a busy guy but he is genuinely interested in Homer's happiness and friendship

"With his plot to rule the world and his employee's health!"

He wasn't just a supervillain. He was also super.

Indeed. I agree.

I’ve worked for a Hank Scorpio and it’s all you think it could be

Burns would regard Scorpio as one of those " Damn beatnik kids"

funny thing about Hank is, he took over the east coast meaning he wouldn't have reason to go to Springfield no more. he's too successful that not even the UN can stop him. he values his employees so the morale is extremely high and he's a great leader.

The psychopathy is what help make him great.

No less psychotic then most the people I've worked for, at least he's friendly.

Hank's a really great boss full stop. He doesn't seem to take anything out on his employees, why would he when he's got the rest of the world to take it out on?

He doesn't like being called "boss".

that's the joke..homer is too dumb to clash with hank or get in his way..and he even helps him out....of course that's cool that he likes homer but he is a super villain...even more so than mr burns....which is shocking...cant work with him

Lmao yeah. He DID help recapture James BONT, after all. Lol

Frankly Scorpio shows the benefits of not doing the whole, killing Minions for failures that may or may not be their fault thing. Scorpio is an extremely kind, encouraging leader, which leads to high morale and greater efficiency. Scorpio encourages Homer in a way no other boss he ever had did and lest we forget; Homer's motivational techniques were working and increasing efficiency in his department. I mean there's a reason the Doomsday Device was way ahead of the Weather Machine and Germ Warfare Divisions. Compared to so many companies today, Globex would be rated so highly to work for, world domination goals or no.

So true! 😂

I've always been fascinated with the idea of what evil geniuses, and they're underlings, do in their off the clock real world lives. Their families, where they like to go to dinner, what appointment television they have. I was the safety officer for a facility for several years, so it makes me kind of notice safety stuff. I always love an evil genius's lair having lit "EXIT" signs, fire extinguishers in the proper places. They are evil genius criminals who break every possible law, but their facility is up to OSHA standards.

That's a nice warm story, I'm sorry for the loss

Then continue his path

Was he also a super villain?

good bosses are like good artists

What Country did he want to nuke?

Homer already beat you to the punch.

The ironic thing is that he plays Hank Scorpio as the nicest boss ever who happens to be a super villain, but he also plays Russ Cargill who is mad with power but runs the EPA; an organization that is intended to help the environment. I wonder if his casting in the movie was intentional for that reason.

@@VoltairesRevenge i.. uhh... havent actually had a film class.... i just watch lots of youtube reviews and try to understand how other people evaluate things

but if it must be said.... i think, i personally felt that this episode was... weird... it was because, it was the one homer centric episode i liked as a kid that didnt feel wrong to me, it did feel like a bond villain, but it gave me a view point into a world of evil doing that said, not everything is about good or bad, sometimes its just about how you treat other people. And from an empiric, good vs bad your going to say, they are murdering bond, we dont know who the good guy or bad guy is in this, we assume, we know, but we dont know if Scorpio is entitled to that money and got screwed or ruined by a international effort to destroy him, maybe he was actually a very generous and kind person who was trying to create life extension tablets that would cure every disease and even completely remove all the effects of aging from people for extraordinary thousand plus year life spans, and the global military industrial complex said no, and ordered him and his company exterminated to preserve the world population balance, both would have valid arguments to why thier viewpoint was necesary, but the scorpio as a bad guy sudeenly becomes a kind hearted guy trying to make a world without suffering, where as the military leaders are trying to make a world where thier isnt critical overpopulation and undying hordes stripping the world forests bare and leaving nothing edible as everyone slowly suffers the ravages of starvation and theirs no animals or wildlife or bushes or trees left or even insects because we ate evertyhing, all however many billion of us were there after 10 to 30 years of no one dieing and everyone being in thier 20s in all effectiveness. with perfect health we need other things, like advanced techology and food replicatiaion and then we are capable of surviving, and the military thinks about that, the government plans for that, but people just feel pain and desire and drive to accomplish those goals any way possible to fulfill thier lonely lives. In that context, evil and good become different things, we dont even know if scorpio was producing some sort of evil product he sold to support his attempts to take over the world, but we do know he ran a perfect little corner of society, and a haven where he didnt have to have Homer, but he did, and Homer tried to respect and show concern back. I think thats why i liked the Scorpio episode. Because it wasnt a selfish episode, it was a bizare episode where we dont know if it wias for the greater good, or the greater evil, but people werent just hording things, something seriously strange was happening, and it was a single self contained half hour of amazing world building... and i was so young and just fascinated by it and wanted more of it. but we never got more.... but homer got a football team at the end... and scorpio got the east coast i think... it was very fascinating... or was it the west coast? i forget but i do remember what great excitement and anticipation i got when i realized how great and fun that world became when what was ordinary boss stuff turnned out to be either generic good guy bad guy stuff, or the opening to a whole world of adventure and stories, what would Scorpio have done with the money? maybe he just wanted to make society function better

Stoneman180190 Hey !! I just left my resume and I am crossing my fingers to get the job, how come are you calling him a "supervillain" ? He is awesome !!

I mean, how do you think every supervillain have their loyal henchmen? Because they are nice to them and give them a great pension plan. Who cares if their boss is evil and wants to take over the world? He´s a nice person after all and he cares about you personally. Frankly the world is a better place with your evil boss in charge, because he looks after his loyal subjects well being.

This reminds me of an exchange in SWTOR. “Lana might seem like the nicest Sith Lord ever, but betraying her will still get you killed.”

Supervillian??

That's not what he was referencing. We don't know what Homer was referencing, that's the joke. Hank asked that question because the obvious answer would have been "no" but for some reason, Homer had seen it before. It makes you think "LOL when?!?" It's similar to another joke in another episode where they show the birds going crazy at a bird sanctuary, attacking people, and Hans Moleman is on the phone where he asks "I need the biggest seed bell you have... ... ...no, that's too big." The joke is that it was an unexpected response. We don't know what the person on the other end of the phone line said, but apparently they quoted a size that was so big that it was "too big" to stop thousands of birds from massacring people. It makes you think "LOL how can it be too big?!?"

@@OriginalChaosLord I disagree and actually think it's funnier that Homer would be referencing what he just saw. Unless you're Matt Groening then I'm not convinced :--)

I doubt you would say that if this episode aired 20 years later in Season 28. The writer of this episode was spoiled from having a good reputation and forgot to make Homer and Hank carry the episode's plot instead of the other Simpsons who were bored with Cypress Creek and wanted to move back to Springfield. If you want to see a version of this episode's plot done right with less spoiled writers who had a bad reputation, see Teen Titans Go's Cool School. I swear that episode did more with Rose Wilson in 11 Minutes than this episode did with Hank Scorpio in 22 minutes. They didn't have Hank Scorpio carry the plot, instead he just exists to pander to James Bond fans and distract viewers from this episode's lack of a decent plot from the other Simpsons. October 28, 2016, 10:22pm

Kumiko worked better as a good new character in Married to the Blob from Season 25 because she actually carried the episode's plot, whereas Hank Scorpio didn't carry the plot of You Only Move Twice. This was a better time for things like this because The Simpsons was going stale and having a funny new character (if they made You Only Move Twice today 20 years later) wouldn't be too effective.

Crazy vaclav is my favourite

I don't know he is willingly evil so I think he's more chaotic evil but is just a real nice guy about it.

@el padrino Homer was never a car designer, no matter how much Herb believed in him. Homer is a factory boy, a simple man who only manages to get by in the job he has due to familiarity. Thats why he succeeds under Hank Scorpio. He knows how the business works and gets to just express his views that went unheard under Burns and Smithers.

Yeah this was a case where I didn't have a lot of sympathy for the others, because ultimately it means whenever they complain about the situation in Springfield I remember that in this episode, they chose to go back to it. They chose to return to the crumbling house, the underfunded school, the pollution and the problems of Springfield. Because as you say, there were fixes for all of these things, I mean Marge could have joined a book club or something like that (which she did in another episode), antihistamines should have gotten Lisa back in order and as you say, Bart isn't actually stupid he's just lazy and uninvested; if he put in the effort he could get out of the remedial class before too long. And notably none of them even try to fix their problems, instead they all simply opt to retreat to the familiar mediocrity of Springfield. I mean we know why it had to happen, so the show could revert to status quo, but I never thought it made Lisa, Bart or Marge look all that good.

I feel like you kinda missed the point of the story tbh. Though i’ll admit, the episode only had 22 mins tk reset everything to the status quo in the end, so it never gave enough time to show how its affecting them, homer was the main focus, but since the story was about how the entire FAMILY feels, you’d think they’d give more time to show their reasons and success and failures at trying to make things work. But anyways, the whole point of the episode was that part of what made homers life great and worth living, WAS his family. If they’re not happy, he can’t fully live a comfortable life without them being happy too. So this was never fit to be the “perfect setup for homer” because what makes homer happy isn’t entirely based around just himself. This was always just how older homer was portrayed. Dude’s a selfish, lazy asshole but a good guy at heart (and a big softie). Ironically his insane selfishness tied in perfectly with his love for his family. Since he loved them that much, he’d do tons of stupid shit to keep them around cause it keeps him happy, despite not benefiting from it beyond dopamine boosts and emotional attachments

@@theradionicrevival8068 Whilst I don’t think I missed the point of the episode, I do think you make a very good point and make astute judgements based on cannon character points 👍😄

Yeah, Bart definitely would've been better off, if he would actually doing some studying. Marge could also make new friends with some of the other housewives, with Maggie meeting some of the other babies. Lisa's could atleast try the antihistamines first, if they don't work, maybe also a facemask? Though less ideal.

Possibly both.

I’ve often wondered if that really was the problem upstairs or whether he was covering with a story that he knew Homer would buy.

probably that villainouse James Bont!

@@kisbie I don't think he would lie about that. He straight up killed people and causes terror right in front of Homer. It also goes with his personality that he would react like that to someone eating his lunch.

Especially with his power of motivating fucking HOMER for fucks sake.

In Kent Brockman and that was my two cents

It doesn't have to be a dream

Hank Scorpio still hiring ?

I am that boss.

The sugar joke always makes me laugh because of the sound of the coins and him apologizing for the sugar not being in packages as he hands Homer a pile of pocket sugar. If Hank wasn't so supportive of Homer the immediate reaction most people would have is "I'm not using this sugar and why are your pockets full of sugar?"

+Spellbinder Yeah, because spinoff shows are great! /s

Isn't The Simpsons a spinoff of the Tracy Ulman Show?...

​@@atticus5106 It wasn't a spinoff in the normal sense. You might think of The Simpsons as a spinoff of those shorts, but when people think of spinoffs, they generally think of a character or characters on a show getting remade into their own show. That was different with The Simpsons, because those shorts were characters independent of Tracey Ullman's show that were featured between Tracey's sketches.

He should have stayed, we could have gone bowling :(

@@hankscorpiouk can i join your company

His family is a bunch of assholes, Homer was actually happy working for Hank but as usual his family ruined a good thing

It always bugged me how his family never even tried. Like: Marge? Does she really only define herself by being housewife? WTF. Get a god damn hobby. In fact she's supposed to be an artist, so why not get to painting again. It's just pathetic. Lisa? See a doctor! I've got hayfever too and I have medication against it. Again, pathetic. Bart is the only one with legitimate problems that could and should be addressed by his parents talking to the school. They could have lived a lot better life and afforded a lot more, including better education for their children.

Forget his family! It takes at least three months to adjust to a move, and at least a year to finally be happy with it. If I worked for Hank Scorpio, my family would either suck it up or live in Springfield while I visited them once or twice a month.

So true along with that military general who was fond of homer when he joined the navy.

+DowellForPASenate .......I go by the writer

+DowellForPASenate Actually the only thing that increased was the picture quality. The actual animation quality decreased. Back in the 90s most of the animation was hand drawn, which not only added to the humour but also made the characters more expressive and movement more lively. Now everything's digital and the characters move like robots. If you don't believe me, just look at this gif: www.cartoonbrew.com/wp-content/uploads/simpsonscompare.gif

LukeMM95 that gif alone sets the comparison between classic and modern Simpsons. That expression of relief that classic Marge gives when Maggie is placed into the shopping trolley signifies her grace and dignity as a mother concerned for her child's welfare. Modern Marge looks robotic and lifeless, like as if she doesn't give a shit. The classic versions of the characters had a heart and a certain human quality. The modern Simpsons try to cram in as many "funnies" as possible, even in the opening sequence, and those long drawn-out couch gags are annoying.

Same with Spongebob, if the drawings look SD and a bit messy (sometimes), you know it's a good episode.

That intro sequence was made in the first season in the awful Klasky Csupo animation days. Nothing about that floppy rubbery animation in season 1 was good.

Voting is overrated cause people can easily convince others to vote for bad options. As least with emperor you always know where you are. And you can organize rebellion's to change the emperor. I mean, voting is part of one system that's not so perfect as they portrait it should be.

@@vashstampede8523 The whole dying in the rebellion and having all your family sold into slavery part kind of kills it for me

The monarchy may have had it up and Downs but I mean if you were a great leader like thank you someone who sees himself as one of the people and is willing to put himself in the front lines that’s essentially what a good king does

@@DgardsGaming The monarchies certainly had their Downs 😉

@@DgardsGaming monarchies of small countries, yes.

I like hanks response..like fell on its own..you have 24 hours lol..he actually seems like he is lying..maybe it did fall on its own..

They edit out my favorite part right after maybe it just collapsed on it's own : "We can't take that chance." "You always say that, I want to take a chance!"

"You always say that!! I want to take a chance!!"

LOL! Yes, denial guy. Global warming?! No, it's just unseasonably warm, but that happens sometimes. LOL!

@Evi1M4chine also anyone over the age of 65

that's what made hank scorpio such a magnificent character

I agree, but knowing how downhill the Simpsons went shortly after, the reality is that the writers would have probably found a way to ruin Hank, if they took even one more shot at writing an episode featuring him. It's good he was a one off, as he is unruinable that way.

He was originally going to come back in the simpsons movie as the main villain however the writers changed it because I guess they needed a brand new character for the film

He really carried the episode. The rest was pretty boring. Although I think what's great about the character is that he was only used once. We saw his best, and I think that's enough.
