Pop! Vinyl - The Simpsons - Glowing Mr. Burns 1162

Product Information

A running gag in the show is Mr. Burns always asking to Smithers who Homer is (even though he is a long-time worker in his company) when he is seen by him, and after the latter's answer, he replies by saying "Simpson, eh?".

Amos Graycomb was married to Moselle Graycomb (before the marriage, her maiden name was Moselle Stemple). Mr. Burns was in the very first episode, “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire” which aired on December 17th, 1989. He is an extremely greedy, cheap, tyrannical and egotistical businessman, and is the richest and most powerful citizen of Springfield. He is the oppressive founder and chairman of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, a member of the inner circle of the Springfield Republican Party, the boss of Homer Simpson, Lenny, Carl and Waylon Smithers and, finally, the archenemy and former friend of Abe Simpson and Homer Simpson.Mr. Burns, while still greedy and egotistical, has become less villainous in the more recent seasons and more of an anti-hero, whilst in any season prior to season 9 he was portrayed most of the time as a genuine threat. However, that does not take away the fact that he is the main antagonist of the series, as he still can be evil at times. Attempted Murder: In the same previously mentioned episode, Mr. Burns hit Bart, killing him, yet being revived. In " Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish"", he tried to kill Abe to cheat on a tontine, and later attempted to drown Bart. He’s done some pretty despicable, downright unforgivable things, but we somehow root for him anyways. Maybe this is why Conan O’Brien called Monty his favorite character to write for. 15 Mr. Burns is based on two business tycoons and a praying mantis.

Kidnapping: In " Marge Gets a Job", Burns tried to woo Marge by making Smithers kidnap Tom Jones, hold him at gunpoint, and chain him while he was singing. In “The Springfield Files,” a famous episode of “The Simpsons,” Bart’s family receives a visit from “The X-Files” protagonists. For those who think Mulder and Scully have already experienced every possible bizarre situation, just wait until the agents meet the strange, the sinister, the enigmatic Homer Simpson. As evidenced by his role in the series, Burns has owned or co-owned a number of business ventures and companies in Springfield, including the Monty Burns Casino (later demolished), [16] the Little Lisa Recycling Plant, [4] the Burns Slant Drilling Co., [96] Burns Media, [25] the electric company, the water works and even a hotel on Baltic Avenue. [20] He also operated the Burns Germ Warfare Laboratory (which was destroyed by Mona Simpson and a group of protesters).

[17] Though when he tells Homer about Gertrude, he says that he was her fiancé, but he implies that they were married, as he says he missed their wedding, their honeymoon, and their divorce due to working so hard. He was once involved with a fellow student during his time at Yale University named Mimsy Bancroft, and then later had an affair with her daughter, Lily. [12] He once had an affair with Countess von Zeppelin, as he slept with her one time. [108] He also once in love with Marge, and pursued a relationship with her, but stopped once he discovered that Marge was married. Agnes Skinner revealed that she once had an affair with Mr. Burns during the Great Depression ("let him feel me up"). [109] Burns once caught the attention of Selma when she discovers that Burns is single.

In his early years, while he was a college student at Yale University, he was a member of the Skull and Bones society. During World War II, Burns became a member of the Flying Hellfish squad, a group of soldiers who entered into a tontine regarding the ownership of German artwork. Burns was a member of the Stonecutters until it disbanded, at which time he joined the secret society that succeeded it: The Ancient Mystic Society of No Homers (One source of dislike of Burns for the "Stonecutters" is that despite his wealth and greed, he is outranked by Lenny). He is currently the head of the Springfield Republican Party and once headed a short-lived religion. He is also a member of the "Excludes Club", the Springfield Golf and Country Club, and the National Rifle Association. He holds a chair (a demonic throne with snarling dogs chained to it) at Springfield University and controls an anti-democratic paramilitary force in Latin America.

When the first “Who Shot Mr Burns” episode aired, The Simpsons had a competition that offered a prize to anyone who could guess the shooter. The competition said the winner had to be found within the first 1000 random entries opened, but none of those first 1000 guessed that it was Maggie. We see good old Homer walking home out of obligation after having had one too many Duff beers. Then, he encounters a strange, glowing green alien who wants to deliver peace and love. What is not widely known is that Charles Montgomery Burns and Homer Simpson are related by marriage (Which makes his making Bart his heir in one episode extremely ironic, as Bart would be related to Mr.Burns anyway). According to a family tree: In the second season, the writers started to enjoy writing about Smithers and Burns's relationship, and they often pitched episodes with them as the focus, but many never came to fruition.He is also shown to hate the lawyers he hires in large part because of the latter party's unethical practices, and only has them available under necessity. At one point, in an uncharacteristic act of charity, he also managed to pay for a then-dangerously overweight Homer Simpson's liposuction to make him comparatively thin again to repay the latter for reducing a potentially catastrophic Chernobyl-style nuclear meltdown at the plant to "a mere Three-Mile Island" (although it should be noted that he did this task after Homer failed to do one sit-up). [57] In addition, during Frank Grimes' last moments when he, having entered a psychotic break, ended up grabbing extremely high voltage cables under the delusion that he was Homer Simpson, Burns was seen grimacing at the result alongside Homer Simpson, Smithers, and at least two other workers. [58] In addition, Mr. Burns when watching a play Skinner organized to get him to provide funds for the then-recently closed Springfield Elementary School, reacted with horror after the Chef, out of incompetence caused by the school being closed, placed rat poison into broth instead of salt, before Skinner pointed out that Mr. Burns could have ingested it. [59] Similarly, when Homer had a manatee pose as himself, Mr. Burns was shown to befriend him, and when learning he was about to die from dehydration, he immediately requested they give the manatee a sponge bath.

Other jokes come from Marge, who thinks the FBI is coming for her because of a pencil she took from the Post Office; Moe and his dark history with a smuggled whale; Grandpa Abe with a turtle that steals his teeth; or the lineup with famous aliens like Alf, Chewbacca, and Kang. In 2014, Shearer won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for his performance on "Four Regrettings and a Funeral" for voicing Mr. Burns. [118] Trivia [ ]

Matt Groening got Burns' middle name from a Montgomery Ward department store in Portland, Oregon's Northwest Industrial district, and his surname from Burnside Street, the main thoroughfare in Portland. Burns' first name being Charles is a reference to Charles Foster Kane. In the script for "There's No Disgrace Like Home", Al Jean and Mike Reiss refer to him as "Mr. Meanie". Burns used to pay his employees a salary less than a worker in the United States can normally earn (which is illegal), but the only employee Burns pays a normal salary is Smithers. This attitude entitles Burns to deduct his employees' wages as much as he likes, with Smithers being the only exception.

Also, Mr. Burns and Homer are actually related by marriage (which makes Bart being Burns' heir extremely ironic, because Bart would be related to him).
