Mr. Black

Simpsonsfan1: /* Leadership */

{{Character

'''Mr. Black''' was the camp director of {{ap|Kamp Krusty|location}}.

== Leadership ==
Mr. Black does very little work, instead relying on the services of the school bullies [[Jimbo Jones]], [[Dolph]] and [[Kearney]] to "crush their spirits", who run the "{{ap|Kamp Krusty|location}}" with an iron fist. Mr. Black also hired a retired drill instructor, presumably from the US Army or US Marine Corps, to be mean to overweight children in the fat camp section of Kamp Krusty. Black mentioned that he was once the head of [[Euro Krustyland]] before it "blew up" (a parody of the unpopularity of {{W|Euro Disneyland}}).<ref name="Kamp Krusty">"[[Kamp Krusty]]"</ref>

== Role ==
Mr. Black is briefly seen drinking brandy, smoking and enjoying a feast with the bullies, making a toast and saying "Gentlemen, to evil!" Mr. Black later hires Barney to dress as Krusty in an attempt to keep the campers complacent, but the disguise is poor and Barney spoils the illusion by talking. Bart leads the campers in a revolution to take over the camp. Mr. Black, realising that he has lost control yells to the bullies, "To the hydrofoil!". The drill instructor also leaves Kamp Krusty, either escaping along with Jimbo, Dolph, Kearney and Mr. Black in the hydrofoil or leaving camp grounds by another mean, for the fat kids' section is unguarded when Bart frees Martin Prince and the other kids from it. This is the last we ever see of Mr. Black, for he has not reappeared in any subsequent episodes. It is also implied that he had bribed Krusty by offering him "a dump truck full of money" in order to get Krusty to sign his name on the camp.<ref name="Kamp Krusty" />

== Other plans ==
[[Mark Kirkland]] was sure that the character was going to reappear later in the series, but he never did. [[Al Jean]] commented "I guess that the hydrofoil really got Mr. Black out of the show forever." <ref>{{cite video | people=Jean, Al; Kirkland, Mark|year=2004|title=The Simpsons Season 4 DVD commentary for the episode "Kamp Krusty"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Despite this, he has made a somewhat major appearance in the ''Simpsons Comics'' story, ''''[[The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth]]''''.

Nibbles

2022-12-24T22:32:09Z

Simpsonsfan1: /* History */

{{Featured article}}
{{Quote|You did it Nibbles! Now chew through my ball-sack!|[[Seymour Skinner]] to Nibbles|Skinner's Sense of Snow}}
{{Animal
|name = Nibbles

|age =
|status = Deceased

'''Nibbles''' was a class pet at [[Springfield Elementary School]], although he seemed to leave the school.

== History ==
[[File:Skinner and Nibbles.png|thumb|left|250px|Nibbles returns from his rescue attempt.]][[File:NibblesGoodbye.png|thumb|left|250px|Astronaut Nibbles says goodbye to his wife.]]
[[File:Lisa the Veterinarian 113.webp|thumb]]
Nibbles was first seen at the school on a very snowy day when the only people who came to school were [[Principal Skinner]], [[Groundskeeper Willie]] and barely enough students to fill one classroom. They ended up getting snowed in when the snow continued. The students rebelled against Principal Skinner, tied him up in a [[dodgeball]] sack and took charge of the school. Seeking help, Skinner put Nibbles and a note asking for help into the hamster's exercise ball and pushed it out the window. The rescue attempt appeared doomed for failure as Nibbles only got a few yards away from the school before falling through the snow.

Nibbles did make it out, however, and ended up saving [[Homer]] and [[Ned]] who had tried to drive to the school to rescue the kids. Ned's car had hit a fire hydrant and gotten stuck in the ice, and its interior was filling up with exhaust fumes. Homer and Ned were about to suffocate when Nibbles (still in his exercise ball) crashed through the windshield, bringing them some life-saving fresh air. The ice then thawed out and Homer and Ned drove on. They ended up freeing the snowbound school (albeit accidentally) when they hit a silo of cracker salt and knocked it over, which spilled the salt, which in turn melted most of the snow. Still in the exercise ball, Nibbles rolled up to Skinner, who was still tied up in the dodgeball bag. Skinner congratulated Nibbles for bringing back help, and then asked him to "chew through my ball sack", to which Nibbles' only response was to stare quizzically at Skinner.<ref>"[[Skinner's Sense of Snow]]"</ref>

Homer later pressed Nibbles into service as an astronaut to fly a sophisticated model rocket that the nerd trio of {{ap|Benjamin|nerd}}, {{ap|Doug|nerd}} and {{ap|Gary|nerd}} had built for him. Before making the flight, Nibbles said goodbye to his wife and five babies (she had already eaten three). During the flight, the rocket went off course. Homer radioed a set of instructions to Nibbles to put the rocket back on course, but Nibbles ejected from the rocket instead of following the instructions. As Nibbles parachuted to safety, the rocket went completely out of control and eventually crashed into the [[First Church of Springfield]].<ref>"[[She of Little Faith]]"</ref>

After Lisa saved a raccoon, [[Miss Hoover]] decided that Lisa should take care of Nibbles as she was the best qualified to do so. However, Lisa forgot about him and he got stressed from having no attention payed to him. [[Lionel Budgie]] and Lisa operated on him but he passed away. A funeral for him was celebrated in Springfield Elementary.<ref>"[[Lisa the Veterinarian]]"</ref>

== Couch Gag idea. ==

I had a idea for a couch gag:

In the couch gag, the family (except Bart) sits on the couch and Bart is messing around and he shows up in front of the screen and Homer tries to get him to sit down and he refuses and Homer chases him around the house and that ends the couch gag.--[[User:Simpsonsfan1|Simpsonsfan1]] ([[User talk:Simpsonsfan1|talk]]) 15:22, April 18, 2017 (EDT)

"'''Take My Life, Please'''" is the tenth episode of [[season 20]]. This episode was the first episode broadcast in HD and the new show opening sequence.

== Synopsis ==
[[Vance Connor]] is inducted into the [[Springfield Wall of Fame]], and [[Homer]] recalls how he ran against Vance for school president. After discovering that the real ballot box was hidden, Homer searches for it and finds it - only to discover that he should have won. The family go to [[Luigi's]] restaurant, and meet a man who can tell people's fates by stirring tomato sauce, and Homer sees what his life would've been like had he been class president.

== Plot ==
A man named [[Vance Connor]] is inducted into the [[Springfield Wall of Fame]], and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] recounts how he ran against Vance for class president in high school and lost. Later, at [[Moe's Tavern]], [[Carl Carlson|Carl]] and [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]] confess to Homer that his [[Principal Dondelinger|old high school principal]] had ordered them to bury the ballot box containing the votes to the election. After Homer and Lenny dig up the ballot box, [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] counts the votes, and Homer is shocked to see that the votes put him as the winner. Outraged, he meets his old principal in a retirement center, who explains why he had to hide the ballot box: Two student athletes had talked their classmates into voting for Homer so that, after he had won, they could laugh at him all the way through high school and at every reunion. Al Gore, himself, appears in Moe's Tavern and told Homer how he had felt when he had the 2000 presidential election stolen from him.
The Simpsons later have dinner at [[Luigi's]], where Homer remains miserable. [[Luigi Risotto]] introduces him to his saucier, who he claims can tell what someone's life could have been like by stirring tomato sauce in a certain way. By using his magical tomato sauce, he helps Homer see what his life would have been like if he had won the election: Homer would have been rich, he would have had a better position at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|nuclear plant]], would have lived in a mansion on the site where the [[Ned Flanders|Flanders]] now live and wouldn't be bald. The kids would not have been born because Homer would have remembered to use protection before sex. Homer is depressed after seeing that his life would have been a lot better if he had won, even leaping into the pot to try to "live in the sauce".

Homer later agrees to take a walk with [[Marge]] to the Springfield Wall of Fame where his name has been put up (replacing [[Seymour Skinner]]). A boy then has his picture taken with him. Homer, now much happier, goes to a Korean restaurant that [[Bart]] says 'sells beef that spells the date of your death'.

== Production ==
The episode was written by [[Don Payne]] and directed by [[Steven Dean Moore]]. It was the first episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' to air in 720p high-definition television, though not the first time the show has appeared in high-definition, as ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'' was rendered in HD.

=== New opening sequence ===
:''See the full article of the opening sequence, [[opening sequence|here]].''

This episode marks the first time the opening sequence was used in HD. The differences include:
*A three-eyed crow flies past the Simpsons logo in the sky.
*[[Kearney Zzyzwicz|Kearney]] and [[Jimbo Jones|Jimbo]] are seen sawing off the head of the [[Jebediah Springfield]] statue during the swoop across town. The head lands on [[Ralph Wiggum]], about to eat an ice cream cone.
*During Bart's chalkboard gag, the portrait on the classroom wall is now Homer as an astronaut
*As Bart skates out of school, he flies past a pile of [[Groundskeeper Willie]]'s leaves, revealing [[Barney]] lying on the ground.
*Behind Homer is [[Carl Carlson|Carl]] and [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]] putting up the number three on a sign that says "Days Without an Accident." When the whistle blows, they fall off the ladder.
*Behind Marge is [[Patty]] and [[Selma]] checking out a bunch of cigarettes.
*When a box of [[Krusty-O's]] is scanned, the total amount on the register changes from $236.60 to $243.26, which means the price of the cereal is $6.66. [[Maggie]] is inadvertently scanned too, which doubles the register total to $486.52, as she is mistakenly packaged with the groceries.
*Marge does not sigh with relief when [[Maggie]] is appears in the shopping bag, instead she just turns around like this is an average everyday thing.
*When Maggie pops out of the shopping bag, she shakes her fist with [[Baby Gerald]] in a nearby cart.
*In the orchestra room, there is an added picture of [[Bleeding Gums Murphy]] on the wall.
*[[Sherri]] & [[Terri]] are playing video games, rather than playing the flutes.
*At the end of Lisa's sax solo, she ducks inside briefly and smiles.
*When Homer throws the bar out of the window, it lands near [[Otto Mann]], who eats it.
*Bart now skates past [[Sideshow Bob]], [[Helen Lovejoy]], [[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon|Apu]] with his children, the [[Comic Book Guy]], [[Disco Stu]], [[Crazy Cat Lady]], [[The Rich Texan]], and [[Clancy Wiggum|Chief Wiggum]]. Marge's car drives over [[Hans Moleman]]'s manhole.
*Now [[Abraham Simpson|Grandpa]] is shown in the car next to Maggie who sits in the middle. When she and Marge honk the horn, Grandpa wakes up and spits out his false teeth.
*The pan across Springfield features more characters like [[God]] and the [[Devil]].
*After Lisa drives past Homer on her bike, he is too late to avoid Marge's car and gets shoved through the wall of the house.
*The old television set is now replaced with an HDTV. At the end of the theme, it falls, as if hanged on the wall.

UGO wrote: "When the self-referential jokes about the episode’s switch to HD were the things that made me laugh the most, and they last only a few seconds, I realized something was not good. This may be 'The Sharpest. Episode. Ever.' but is definitely not the funniest. Still, there are some genuinely endearing bitter-sweet moments in the episode, but still it’s not enough to drive the show into the un-chartable funny waters that it used to live in."
