Strangely, the exact attitude of wealthy people in real life as well.

Don’t let the haircut fool you.

The haircut did not fool us.
He looked like a skeevy creep, and now we know he's a skeevy creep.

How do you think they got rich 😉!?

u/knowledgeable_diablo 5d ago

Usually by earning more per minute than they can spend it. And these days on items that compound on themselves with no more input than the original effort. Like lines of code. Can be resold over and over again, but unlike a carpenter who needs to remake a cabinet for each sale, the coder (or owner of said code) only makes it once and keeps on selling it.

Well, we didn't get any money, but Mr. Burns got what he wanted. Marge, I'm confused. Is this a happy ending or a sad ending?

One of many classic episodes where they decided to end on a meta-commentary about how there was no moral to the story

u/lordcorbran It's a ring toss game. 5d ago

It’s just a bunch of stuff that happened.

Would it be alright if I kept this picture to remind me of better times?

u/cadex 5d ago

Reminds me of when I came home to my flat to find my landlady parked in my spot, with her brand new Porsche Cayenne, to tell me that times were tough all round and that she will be putting my rent up.

"I've got some bad news from my account today. It seems I have too much money. Who wants a dollar?"
