HeadbangingPizza beautiful

Lies again? Babies And Roses

Well, he was a genius before he started drinking
He was a genius and highly cultured until his last year of high school when Homer pressured him to drink a beer. It was like his alcoholism gene was power activated by the first sip.
I feel intense empathy for Barney. I lost one of my brothers to alcoholism nearly 20 years ago. He tried to get clean but couldn’t cope with how harsh life is. I miss him everyday
Losing a brother is tough. It affects you deeply.
Really sorry for your loss man. Hope you're okay.

Same here. Sorry for your loss.
I was in the same situation as Barney (after experiencing chain of dramatic life events )- lying on the couch , hang over , eating disgusting pizza - I had no energy nor will power to do anything … I was getting drunk and smoked weed every day for 6 month straight , may be even longer, suffering from ptsd … Then , I found another way to escape from the reality - books… In a few years I have read more than most people ever going to read in their life time , books on psychology and philosophy changed my perception of reality , I gave up on alcohol and weed ,became smarter ( average yearly count was around 30 books - I was constantly keeping my mind busy for several years ) colder ,disciplined , ambitious, misanthropic …I found purpose in life - ubermensch .
a rose, slowly dying, as it is held in a beer bottle, and then the curtain blows over it like a funeral shroud. No lie, this was beautifully poetic.
It IS beautifully poetic, mostly because it is a brutally honest short film made by an alcoholic, which is parodied in a short film festival, which is shown in a cartoon comedy series. So many levels simultaneously.

This is one of those old Simpson's scenes that hits different as an adult. The jokes are still hilarious but it's also genuinely sad now that I understand what Barney's going through.
Just picture Barney's untapped potential if he didn't have a super addictive personality. He'd have superb balance and athleticism to the point he qualifies as an astronaut, he'd be Harvard educated since he was on track for that school, he'd have amazing creative skills like directing, writing, singing, painting and if he ever came across the opportunity to take helicopter lessons, he'd have that under his belt too. Not to mention his entrepreneurial skills, opening a rival snow plow business to Homer and sweeping him under the rug in a DAY.
Sounds like David bowie
Or he could become part of a barbershop quartet that eventually broke up because of his Japanese artist girlfriend.
Thus always to vices
He could have owned duff beer
And that’s the difference between him and Homer. Homer has no ambition and he is trying to drag a friend who does down to his level. Barney has ambition, but he allows himself to let his worst impulses overshadow them.
Now a sensible man, by and by a fool, presently a beast. If that doesn't sum up alcoholism in 12 words nothing does.

Yeah, but the whole joke is that his preference was not suitable for the award and that even he mentally acknowledged that Barney's was better, even if man getting hit by a football had a football to the groin... And it'd otherwise have been a deadlock, with just him as the potential swing vote?
I’m with homer on this! I judge a movie on its entertainment value, I don’t give a rats arse about how cinematic something is, if it’s not entertaining lol man getting hit with football was far more entertaining and homer had every right to consider it for his vote! It always bugged me that marge pressured homer to change his vote, especially given how she expressed her disappointed in him, she knows the man better then anyone yet showed complete contempt in his opinions.
@@phil56892 That's the difference between simple entertainment for the masses and art. A football to the groin is simple. Barney's movie is art.
@@richardpagel6959 and what good is a non-entertaining movie? You can slap any title on it, classic, art what ever, if it’s not entertaining, then it’s shít!
Barney really is the most tragic character in The Simpsons.
And what’s tragic is how the writers know it and want to have it both ways for the sake of jokes that stopped being funny years ago.
I probably found this funny as a kid, but now my life resembles Barney's more and more every day.
Girl scouts : Lisa howd you know his last name do you know him ? Lisa: he's my dads best friend
Girl scouts: Your dad needs better friends. Lisa: Actually, Mr. Gumble needs better friends.
When we all saw this as kids and were like 40 and single and drinks wow! Now we are 40 and single and drink lol
Shit... that moment you realize Barney Gumble is 40 and you're not so far away from 40... what the hell is going on???
Personally I credit all the anti-alcohol jokes in The Simpsons for making me teetotal.
Lmao true.
That pretty well covers it.
Expressed like a true drunk.
This made me cry as a boy & my parents thought my brother made me cry but I had to say its this show that made me cry & now that I c it I hate how life will b like this so sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Ur sad
-I am barney and I am an alcoholic. -Mr gumbell this is a girls scout meeting -Is it or is it that you girls can't admit that you have a problem ? 🤣
Hey did you watch the same video? Wow!
Don't cry for me. I'm already dead.
😂😂😂
I can't believe the Simpsons used to be this brilliant.
Considering the prize that was offered it's no wonder Barney decided to pull off a cinematic masterpiece.
Did he know about it going into it? What if Moe had won? Then he could’ve just sold it at his bar.
@@Attmay Also, considering the prize was a "lifetime" supply of beer and yet Barney still goes to the tavern, which implies that his lifetime supply of beer ran out. (I know these episodes don't have a continuity for the most part, but it's fun to think about that."
The dude can sing, can pass qualifications to be an astronaut, has a way with words and is an outstanding film maker. He really is the complete package.
Simpsons has a lot of tragic characters, but Barney's lot genuinely heartbreaking.
They managed to do more than make him just the typical one dimensional Foster Brooks-style stock drunk or a synthetic amalgam of every character on *Cheers.*
0:32 I don't know why, but this scene gives me the same feeling I get when I see the opening scene in Casino where the camera is going through the desert 🏜
"Don't cry for me, I'm already dead". God that was deep, like actually.
So many times I have said "Don't cry for me, I'm already dead" and no one responds. No one gets me.
"Did something crawl down your throat and die?" "It didn't die!" Why is no one mentioning how amazing that line is?
Barney: "Wait till you see my movie." Bart: "You made a movie?" Barney: "I did? No wonder I was on the cover of Entertainer Weekly" *Pulls magazine conviently under his seat*
@GardevoirPokemonLover Why are you, a grown adult, obsessed with something as childish and vapid as Pokemon?
@@JanetStarChild My name is what gives me, me, as your name gives you, you. Won't judge you.
@@JanetStarChild How many fedoras were you wearing when you wrote that?
@@peterprime2140 I have several, actually, for different occasions. Right now, I'm wearing my keyboard-warrior fedora with noir jazz playing in the background.
@@JanetStarChild yawn. Stale material edgelord.
Barney's movie had heart - but football in the groin had a football in the groin!
And the ball, his groin! It worked on so many levels!
Absolutely one of the best episodes of all time....👏😁👏😁👏😁
This made a big impression on me as a kid. Something in me knew I had the same problem even before I did! Now I am sober.
Without a doubt, one of the most funniest scenes in The Simpsons.
it's so sad that this kind of writing hardly doesen't exists anymore in todays day and age...
0:54 best part of the film
Now we know how Barney can afford his alcoholism. He won a lifetime supply of Duff for a short film about alcoholism
"There's a line Othello about a drinker, Thou a sensible man, By and by a fool, Presently a beast." I think that's what he says
Classic Simpsons. Nothing like it. Late 80s born kid here, and this show was one of the highlights of my youth. Rewatching the OG seasons in my adulthood and missing the days when it was so clever and heartfelt.
I still tear up in the hockey episode between Bart and Lisa. The ending is heartfelt without going over the top. 🥲
Probably The Best Written Character On The Show!
0:32 - that little music though... it really meant something when i first heard it as a kid. Now in my 30s still is unique
The fact that they were instantly on to it with the I.V line, knowing full well that's what Barney would ask for.
