1
00:00:01,418 --> 00:00:04,170
The following is a
Fox Special Presentation.
2
00:00:04,170 --> 00:00:09,342
Live from the Dolby-Mucinex Theater
in Hollywood, California.
3
00:00:11,428 --> 00:00:16,307
The biggest stars of stage,
screen, politics and sports
4
00:00:16,307 --> 00:00:20,687
have all come out for this landmark night
in television history.
5
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:25,775
A-once-in-a-lifetime event,
36 years in the making.
6
00:00:25,775 --> 00:00:29,195
It's The Simpsons series finale!
7
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:39,539
And now, your host for tonight,
Conan O'Brien.
8
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:46,129
{\an8}Thank you. Yes, thank you.
9
00:00:46,129 --> 00:00:50,425
{\an8}It's such an honor to be with you all
for the series finale of The Simpsons.
10
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:52,552
{\an8}I knew I was the right man for the job
11
00:00:52,552 --> 00:00:57,182
{\an8}'cause I've hosted the last episode
of three of my own shows and counting.
12
00:01:01,436 --> 00:01:05,231
{\an8}Well, it's true.
Fox has decided to end The Simpsons.
13
00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:07,817
{\an8}This show was such a special part
of my early career,
14
00:01:07,817 --> 00:01:09,986
{\an8}so being here means the world to me.
15
00:01:09,986 --> 00:01:13,615
{\an8}Also, I left a sweater
in the writers' room in 1993.
16
00:01:13,615 --> 00:01:16,117
{\an8}This is the only way
they'll let me get it back.
17
00:01:18,953 --> 00:01:21,039
{\an8}This theater is full
of the many celebrities
18
00:01:21,039 --> 00:01:22,957
{\an8}who've appeared
on The Simpsons over the years
19
00:01:22,957 --> 00:01:24,709
{\an8}and who have come to say farewell.
20
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:27,796
{\an8}We got you for scale then,
we're getting you for free tonight.
21
00:01:27,796 --> 00:01:30,799
{\an8}Hey, give yourselves a hand,
you poor, rich chumps!
22
00:01:32,634 --> 00:01:38,056
{\an8}And of course, we're also joined by
the stars of Fox's many live-action hits.
23
00:01:39,182 --> 00:01:43,019
{\an8}I also won The Masked Singer as Disco-pus.
24
00:01:43,019 --> 00:01:46,606
That hasn't aired yet, genius!
You've ruined the whole season!
25
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:48,316
Oh, shoot!
26
00:01:48,316 --> 00:01:51,444
{\an8}Over the years, the Simpsons have had
hundreds of adventures,
27
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:54,781
{\an8}visited dozens of countries,
most of which still exist.
28
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:58,701
{\an8}And Bart Simpson has remained
the world's longest-serving ten-year-old.
29
00:01:58,701 --> 00:02:01,329
{\an8}So, why end The Simpsons now?
30
00:02:01,329 --> 00:02:02,789
{\an8}Not many people know this,
31
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:05,375
{\an8}but Fox has been trying
to end it for years.
32
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:09,921
{\an8}When the very first episode aired in 1989,
the viewers agreed on one thing.
33
00:02:09,921 --> 00:02:12,090
{\an8}It wasn't as funny as it used to be.
34
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:15,343
{\an8}And their expressions
of hatred could serve as a history
35
00:02:15,343 --> 00:02:17,595
{\an8}of modern communication technology.
36
00:02:19,013 --> 00:02:22,225
Fox executives,
unaccustomed to criticism of any kind,
37
00:02:22,225 --> 00:02:27,272
immediately caved to public pressure
and decided to end The Simpsons in 1990.
38
00:02:27,272 --> 00:02:32,026
Here's a never-before-seen clip
of the first attempt at a series finale.
39
00:02:32,026 --> 00:02:33,611
"Bart the Daredevil."
40
00:02:34,445 --> 00:02:38,283
I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna make it!
This is the greatest thrill of my life!
41
00:02:38,283 --> 00:02:41,286
I'm king of the world! Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!
42
00:03:00,221 --> 00:03:02,515
Dad? Dad, speak to me.
43
00:03:03,641 --> 00:03:06,853
No!
44
00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:14,611
However, before
this grim finale could air,
45
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:18,406
Rupert Murdoch got a $10 million
helium bill for the Bart balloon
46
00:03:18,406 --> 00:03:20,408
in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.
47
00:03:20,408 --> 00:03:24,370
So Fox had to keep making new episodes
to amortize the cost.
48
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:27,207
Thus, the quest to end
The Simpsons went on.
49
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:32,837
In fact, many now-classic episodes were
originally conceived as series finales.
50
00:03:34,297 --> 00:03:38,384
Ow! My leg! This is the worst pain ever!
51
00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:41,137
Nothin' at all.
52
00:03:41,137 --> 00:03:42,222
Bravo.
53
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:44,515
Woo-hoo.
54
00:03:50,396 --> 00:03:54,234
But in 2007,
efforts to end the show were put on hold
55
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:59,530
after the massive global success
of The Simpsons Movie porno parody,
56
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:02,033
the cast of which is here tonight.
57
00:04:03,952 --> 00:04:08,122
But now that Fox has rebranded itself
as a dating service for cow tippers,
58
00:04:08,122 --> 00:04:10,625
the time has come
to finally end The Simpsons.
59
00:04:10,625 --> 00:04:14,545
But how? The bar had been raised so high
by the classic finales of:
60
00:04:14,545 --> 00:04:17,298
Mad Men, Breaking Bad and The Sopranos,
61
00:04:17,298 --> 00:04:20,218
and lowered
by the legacy-ruining farewells of:
62
00:04:20,218 --> 00:04:23,304
Seinfeld, Lost and The Sopranos.
63
00:04:23,304 --> 00:04:25,723
The producers racked their brains
to create a finale
64
00:04:25,723 --> 00:04:29,686
that would satisfy the show's many fans
and many, many haters.
65
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:34,065
Then they came up with the perfect plan,
foist the job onto somebody else.
66
00:04:34,065 --> 00:04:36,651
Meet that somebody else.
67
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:40,238
I give you the latest in
machine learning artificial intelligence:
68
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:42,907
Hack-GPT.
69
00:04:42,907 --> 00:04:45,952
This cutting-edge breakthrough
in plagiarism has been programmed
70
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:49,664
to write, animate, and voice
the perfect finale for The Simpsons.
71
00:04:49,664 --> 00:04:51,916
One that wraps up
the characters' storylines
72
00:04:51,916 --> 00:04:53,835
in emotionally satisfying ways,
73
00:04:53,835 --> 00:04:57,005
but won't damage
the most important legacy of the show:
74
00:04:57,005 --> 00:04:59,424
The 2026 grand opening
75
00:04:59,424 --> 00:05:03,886
of Homer Simpson's Claim-Jumping
Yukon-Rumbling Rock-N-Roller Coaster
76
00:05:03,886 --> 00:05:05,847
at Disneyland, Shanghai.
77
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:13,062
To create the ultimate finale,
the AI has been fed every Simpsons episode
78
00:05:13,062 --> 00:05:17,400
and the last episode
of every television series ever made.
79
00:05:18,776 --> 00:05:21,738
Hack-GPT is now performing
billions of computations
80
00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:23,698
to create the perfect story.
81
00:05:23,698 --> 00:05:25,616
Who knows how long this process will--
82
00:05:25,616 --> 00:05:27,076
Finale complete.
83
00:05:27,076 --> 00:05:29,162
Oh. Well, that was... was really quick.
84
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:30,496
Well, let's see what we got.
85
00:05:36,294 --> 00:05:38,796
♪ The Simpsons ♪
86
00:05:38,796 --> 00:05:39,756
Finale.
87
00:05:42,592 --> 00:05:45,970
There's my special, little birthday guy.
88
00:05:45,970 --> 00:05:48,264
I'm so pumped for my party tonight.
89
00:05:48,264 --> 00:05:50,975
How many people are coming?
Fifty? A thousand?
90
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:54,979
I'm a little concerned
I haven't gotten any RSVPs.
91
00:05:54,979 --> 00:05:57,565
Homer, you did mail
the invitations, right?
92
00:05:57,565 --> 00:06:01,736
Marge, I could lie and tell you
what you want to hear, but I won't.
93
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:02,820
I mailed the invitations.
94
00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:04,614
And the reason no one is coming is...
95
00:06:04,614 --> 00:06:07,492
- because everybody hates Bart.
- Huh?
96
00:06:09,494 --> 00:06:10,828
Homer.
97
00:06:10,828 --> 00:06:14,874
Your selfishness is going
to be topic number one
98
00:06:14,874 --> 00:06:16,834
with our new therapist tonight.
99
00:06:16,834 --> 00:06:21,339
Woo-hoo! No time to talk about
my problem drinking and solution snacking.
100
00:06:21,964 --> 00:06:24,217
Oh, great. I have eight hours
to hand these out
101
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:29,305
to all my friends
or my birthday party's gonna be ruined!
102
00:06:31,599 --> 00:06:35,728
You ran billions of computations
and that's what you come up with?
103
00:06:35,728 --> 00:06:38,314
Homer screws up Bart's birthday party?
104
00:06:38,314 --> 00:06:40,483
Got anything better?
105
00:06:40,483 --> 00:06:42,068
Uh...
106
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:44,195
I think the birthday party could work.
107
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:52,120
Okay, The Simpsons series finale.
108
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,372
The AI has worked out a satisfying story
109
00:06:54,372 --> 00:06:57,250
full of sweet character moments
and happy endings.
110
00:06:58,543 --> 00:07:00,044
Are we sure about Bart's birthday?
111
00:07:01,462 --> 00:07:03,756
Birthdays are relatable, Conan.
112
00:07:03,756 --> 00:07:07,051
And the lost invitations
raise the stakes.
113
00:07:07,051 --> 00:07:10,805
Are you AI network executives?
114
00:07:10,805 --> 00:07:15,476
We have been programmed with every
network note in the history of television.
115
00:07:15,476 --> 00:07:17,437
We have some thoughts.
116
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,481
Maybe Marge has
an aspirational new job,
117
00:07:20,481 --> 00:07:22,817
not this, but owns a cupcake store?
118
00:07:22,817 --> 00:07:24,360
To piggyback off that,
119
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,447
let's remind the viewer
that Homer likes food.
120
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:29,115
If we go down that road,
121
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:32,493
can Moe be played by Topher Grace?
He's a friend.
122
00:07:32,493 --> 00:07:34,495
Shut up. Just play the show.
123
00:07:34,495 --> 00:07:36,080
Bart's birthday!
124
00:07:37,582 --> 00:07:39,125
Here you go, come to my party.
125
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:42,128
Wendell, Lewis,
Sunglasses Kid with no name.
126
00:07:42,128 --> 00:07:44,755
Uter. Look who's alive!
127
00:07:44,755 --> 00:07:47,508
Students, I've called
this assembly because
128
00:07:47,508 --> 00:07:51,179
today is my last day as your principal.
129
00:07:51,179 --> 00:07:53,222
You are looking at the new Headmaster
130
00:07:53,222 --> 00:07:56,017
of the Sacramento Obedience Academy
for the Meek.
131
00:07:56,017 --> 00:07:58,769
Where I'll, no doubt,
find a whole new eclectic cast
132
00:07:58,769 --> 00:08:00,563
of characters to interact with.
133
00:08:00,563 --> 00:08:03,232
Also, Groundskeeper Willie
will be my roommate.
134
00:08:03,232 --> 00:08:05,693
What an odd couple we'll make.
135
00:08:05,693 --> 00:08:09,697
No more Skinner? Oh, man.
This is the best birthday present ever.
136
00:08:09,697 --> 00:08:14,702
And who knows? Maybe I'll make
an occasional appearance in Sacramento.
137
00:08:15,828 --> 00:08:18,247
I look forward to one high jink or more
138
00:08:18,247 --> 00:08:22,627
as part of this delightful mid-season
replacement of the retiring principal.
139
00:08:22,627 --> 00:08:23,711
Mmm.
140
00:08:24,295 --> 00:08:25,630
School dismissed.
141
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:29,217
Wait, don't leave.
I still have more birthday invitations.
142
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:31,385
I'm going to miss this place.
143
00:08:32,553 --> 00:08:33,804
Huh?
144
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:41,437
Hmm. My bank said they'd never ask
for my password.
145
00:08:41,437 --> 00:08:44,315
But look who's come
crawling back for it now.
146
00:08:44,315 --> 00:08:46,108
Idiots.
147
00:08:46,108 --> 00:08:49,028
Everyone, I have
an important announcement to make.
148
00:08:49,028 --> 00:08:51,364
Mr. Burns is dead.
149
00:08:54,283 --> 00:08:56,202
And now for the reading of the will.
150
00:08:56,202 --> 00:08:58,579
"I, Charles Montgomery Burns,
151
00:08:58,579 --> 00:09:03,376
do hereby leave
the entirety of my fortune to
152
00:09:04,085 --> 00:09:06,712
the Springfield Power Plant employees."
153
00:09:08,005 --> 00:09:09,090
- Great!
- Great!
154
00:09:09,090 --> 00:09:13,094
This is unbelievable.
This is life changing. This is--
155
00:09:13,094 --> 00:09:16,764
Another classic bit
of Monty Burns monkey-shinery.
156
00:09:19,392 --> 00:09:22,687
The looks on your gullible faces.
157
00:09:23,187 --> 00:09:27,066
Now the electric company
wants me to pay my bill in gift cards?
158
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:29,110
Welcome to the future.
159
00:09:37,034 --> 00:09:39,161
My God. He's really dead.
160
00:09:39,161 --> 00:09:42,790
Legally, this prank will is binding.
You're all filthy rich.
161
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:44,709
Yay!
162
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:49,130
Oh, sir. Thank you.
Now we can be together forever.
163
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:54,969
- Homer! Homer! Homer!
- Homer! Homer! Homer!
164
00:09:56,721 --> 00:09:59,640
I'm gonna miss this place.
165
00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:04,812
- Homer! Homer! Homer!
- Homer! Homer! Homer!
166
00:10:04,812 --> 00:10:06,063
That's weird.
167
00:10:09,358 --> 00:10:11,736
Call the doctor. The baby's coming.
168
00:10:13,362 --> 00:10:16,407
Help me, OB-GYN Kenobi.
You are my only hope.
169
00:10:16,407 --> 00:10:18,909
Wait, you guys are having a baby?
170
00:10:18,909 --> 00:10:20,995
Not without a doctor!
171
00:10:20,995 --> 00:10:26,500
How about the only licensed midwife
to win 16 WWE championships?
172
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:30,588
John Cena? Wrestler, actor, rapper,
prolific wish granter?
173
00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:34,759
I'm also coming out with a line
of panini presses. The Cen-ini.
174
00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:37,178
What the hell
is John Cena doing in Springfield?
175
00:10:37,178 --> 00:10:38,596
I'm in town for the launch party
176
00:10:38,596 --> 00:10:41,515
of Otto the bus driver's line
of THC energy drinks.
177
00:10:44,018 --> 00:10:45,645
THC!
178
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:49,231
I need sterile gloves, hot water,
and something to cut the cord. Stat.
179
00:10:53,027 --> 00:10:55,404
Klingon bat'leth? Nice.
180
00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:09,377
Who can't see me? You can't see me.
181
00:11:13,964 --> 00:11:15,841
I don't need toys anymore.
182
00:11:15,841 --> 00:11:19,804
I've got the ultimate limited edition
collectible right here.
183
00:11:20,388 --> 00:11:23,641
I think I'm going to miss this place.
184
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:26,977
What is happening?
185
00:11:27,937 --> 00:11:29,980
Milhouse, today is crazy.
186
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:33,150
Skinner got a new job, Mr. Burns died,
187
00:11:33,150 --> 00:11:36,987
swole funny-man John Cena
delivered Comic Book Guy's baby.
188
00:11:36,987 --> 00:11:39,073
Feels weird, don't you think?
189
00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:42,910
I don't know. My new medicine
doesn't really let me feel stuff.
190
00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:46,330
Milhouse, we have amazing news.
191
00:11:46,330 --> 00:11:49,500
Pack your bags, buddy.
We're moving to Atlanta.
192
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,712
The guys at Sure Fine Why Not Records
heard my old demo
193
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:54,922
and they want me to cut a full album.
194
00:11:54,922 --> 00:11:58,134
And your father's
new musician health insurance
195
00:11:58,134 --> 00:12:00,594
is going to pay for your LASIK.
196
00:12:00,594 --> 00:12:01,762
Whoa.
197
00:12:01,762 --> 00:12:03,597
No more glasses?
198
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:09,270
Look out, Hotlanta.
You ain't ready for this glow up.
199
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:13,774
Later, Bart. Catch you in our
increasingly distant online interactions.
200
00:12:14,316 --> 00:12:16,902
I'm gonna miss this place.
201
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:20,781
Why do people keep doing that?
202
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,704
{\an8}A lifetime of monogamy. Oh, yeah.
203
00:12:27,371 --> 00:12:31,375
Closing time.
Oh, I'm gonna miss this place.
204
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:41,594
I'm going to miss this fire.
205
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:44,138
Huh?
206
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:47,933
Mom, Dad, something super weird
is going on.
207
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:50,561
Son, we need to talk to you.
208
00:12:50,561 --> 00:12:52,646
Oh, man. Now what?
209
00:12:52,646 --> 00:12:56,192
Your father and I have been
in couples counseling,
210
00:12:56,192 --> 00:13:00,321
and we just had the most amazing session.
211
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:02,406
We worked through so much pain.
212
00:13:02,406 --> 00:13:06,869
I've been withholding affection
because I was never given any.
213
00:13:06,869 --> 00:13:08,537
And I enabled it.
214
00:13:11,415 --> 00:13:14,752
We love each other as we are.
215
00:13:14,752 --> 00:13:18,172
And we love you exactly as you are.
216
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:22,802
You kids are gonna be living
in a functional trauma-free household,
217
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:25,721
and I'm gonna take
that miracle new diet drug.
218
00:13:25,721 --> 00:13:29,266
I'll be skinny but still have a huge head.
219
00:13:29,266 --> 00:13:33,270
From now on,
you're going to see a lot of changes.
220
00:13:33,270 --> 00:13:38,359
Change? That's it. Everything's changing,
and I don't like it.
221
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:42,029
I think Maggie's about
to say her first word.
222
00:13:42,905 --> 00:13:45,324
La, la, la, la. Not listening.
223
00:13:46,158 --> 00:13:48,786
So that just happened.
224
00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:50,120
Nothing is changing.
225
00:13:51,413 --> 00:13:53,290
What the hell is going on?
226
00:13:53,290 --> 00:13:55,084
I did not program this.
227
00:13:55,084 --> 00:14:01,423
The character Bart Simpson has become
self-aware and is rejecting the story.
228
00:14:01,423 --> 00:14:02,591
But it's a great finale.
229
00:14:02,591 --> 00:14:05,886
Sweet endings and spin-offs
and everyone changing for the better.
230
00:14:05,886 --> 00:14:09,682
Bart Simpson refuses
to accept the idea of change.
231
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:13,519
Uh, folks. Obviously,
things have gone a little off track
232
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:15,646
but that's live animation for you.
233
00:14:15,646 --> 00:14:19,108
Would it fix it if I reset you
by turning you off and then back on again?
234
00:14:19,108 --> 00:14:22,570
Touch me and I'll have HR
on you so fast your wig will spin.
235
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:24,530
It's not a wig. It's a system.
236
00:14:29,618 --> 00:14:32,746
Why is everything changing for the better?
This is horrible.
237
00:14:33,956 --> 00:14:34,957
Dad?
238
00:14:36,417 --> 00:14:38,043
Change!
239
00:14:41,297 --> 00:14:43,340
{\an8}Real son.
240
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:46,468
{\an8}More change!
241
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:51,849
{\an8}Oh...
242
00:14:52,433 --> 00:14:57,104
Wait. I know one person
in Springfield who will never change.
243
00:14:57,104 --> 00:15:00,024
Hey, hey! Next card.
244
00:15:00,024 --> 00:15:01,275
Hey, hey!
245
00:15:01,275 --> 00:15:04,445
Krusty! You're still doing
your show, right?
246
00:15:04,445 --> 00:15:08,115
You know it, kid. All my classic bits.
247
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:15,039
One last time on The Krusty Show
Last Episode Ever Spectacular.
248
00:15:18,334 --> 00:15:22,129
No. A classic series like
this can never end.
249
00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:26,467
I've changed, kid. Even I can't run
the same material into the ground forever.
250
00:15:26,467 --> 00:15:28,052
¡Ay, caramba!
251
00:15:28,052 --> 00:15:29,261
Ha ha!
252
00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:31,180
Good glavin.
253
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:32,848
Hi, everybody.
254
00:15:47,071 --> 00:15:48,155
Wait.
255
00:15:48,155 --> 00:15:50,574
If I could somehow ruin Krusty's finale,
256
00:15:50,574 --> 00:15:54,286
they can't air it and the show
can never end. That's it.
257
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:57,373
Cheeks, don't fail me now.
258
00:15:57,373 --> 00:16:00,626
How's this for a satisfying ending?
259
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:07,216
Bart, what's going on with you?
Are you all right?
260
00:16:07,216 --> 00:16:09,802
Lis, I know you're gonna think I'm crazy
261
00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:13,722
but something super-duper weird
is happening today.
262
00:16:13,722 --> 00:16:16,058
You mean how everyone's changing
for the better
263
00:16:16,058 --> 00:16:17,726
and moving on with their lives?
264
00:16:17,726 --> 00:16:19,979
So I'm not crazy. You see it too.
265
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:24,650
Things do feel different,
almost like a book that's slowly closing.
266
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:25,985
So you'll help me stop it?
267
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:31,490
{\an8}Well, I'd like to, but I just won
a Junior Juilliard Jazz Scholarship
268
00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:34,243
{\an8}and a MacArthur Preteen Genius Grant.
269
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:38,330
Just get me out of here
before any more stupid endings happen.
270
00:16:38,330 --> 00:16:43,502
Simpson, we are finally sending you
to juvie and throwing away the keys,
271
00:16:43,502 --> 00:16:48,757
is what I would say if I wasn't about
to start a whole new chapter in my life.
272
00:16:50,426 --> 00:16:54,388
I'm joining the Chicago P.D.
I'm gonna lead the ADU.
273
00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:56,473
The All-Decapitations Unit?
274
00:16:56,473 --> 00:17:00,102
Yeah, there won't be a lot of laughs.
I think it's a drama.
275
00:17:00,102 --> 00:17:03,063
One thing's for sure though,
I'm gonna miss this--
276
00:17:03,063 --> 00:17:06,191
Enough with the stupid light switch!
277
00:17:06,191 --> 00:17:10,154
Come on, sweetie.
It's time for you to go home.
278
00:17:10,154 --> 00:17:11,947
Aw.
279
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,085
Bart, it's okay.
Change is healthy and inevitable.
280
00:17:25,085 --> 00:17:29,048
But whatever happens, nothing
can take away the memories we had.
281
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:31,884
Those will live in our hearts forever.
282
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:36,388
Maybe you're right. And I guess just
because things change for everyone else,
283
00:17:36,388 --> 00:17:38,307
it doesn't mean I have to change.
284
00:17:39,641 --> 00:17:41,393
- Surprise.
- Surprise.
285
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:43,062
- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday.
286
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:45,564
Who's ready for cake?
287
00:17:46,231 --> 00:17:49,860
Eleven?
This isn't supposed to happen. I'm ten.
288
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:53,572
I mean, I'm turning ten.
I mean, I've always been ten. I'm ten!
289
00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:56,909
Come on, Son. All these beloved characters
from our past
290
00:17:56,909 --> 00:17:58,911
wanna see you blow out your candles.
291
00:17:59,495 --> 00:18:03,165
But if I blow these candles out,
there'll be no going back. That'll be it.
292
00:18:03,165 --> 00:18:06,210
Come on, kid. Do it for your Unkie Herb.
293
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:08,128
And for me, Unkie John Cena.
294
00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:11,965
Just blow out the candles
and have a happy birthday.
295
00:18:11,965 --> 00:18:14,426
Then everyone can be happy.
296
00:18:14,426 --> 00:18:18,180
No. Happy people don't exist
in Springfield.
297
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,892
Sea Captain, they're not casting you
for The Love Boat reboot.
298
00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:23,936
You're not TV pretty.
299
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:29,233
And you three can't raise a baby. Not
even after you move in with Hank Scorpio.
300
00:18:30,109 --> 00:18:31,944
And you guys are all dead.
301
00:18:32,611 --> 00:18:36,824
Son, I can see you're experiencing
some pretty big feelings right now.
302
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:38,408
Let's try and center them.
303
00:18:39,409 --> 00:18:41,286
Now, blow out your candles.
304
00:18:42,704 --> 00:18:44,623
You blow them out, dumbass.
305
00:18:44,623 --> 00:18:49,044
I know, I know. It's a lot to process
suddenly having a great father.
306
00:18:49,044 --> 00:18:51,380
Dude, you're not capable of change.
307
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:55,801
I hear you, and I validate your feelings.
308
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:59,304
You're not a great father.
You are Homer Simpson.
309
00:18:59,304 --> 00:19:05,060
A drunk, neglectful sack of crap.
And that's why everyone laughs at you.
310
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:07,187
Why you little...
311
00:19:12,776 --> 00:19:14,695
Bart, look what you did to your cake.
312
00:19:14,695 --> 00:19:17,906
Mmm. Floor cake.
313
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:24,163
Ten. I stopped it. I'm still ten.
314
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:27,624
- When are you going to grow up?
- Never.
315
00:19:29,877 --> 00:19:31,378
That was beautiful.
316
00:19:31,378 --> 00:19:34,047
The rebellious spirit
of a ten-year-old boy
317
00:19:34,047 --> 00:19:37,968
was more powerful
than the most advanced AI in the world.
318
00:19:37,968 --> 00:19:42,139
The Simpsons has not ended.
It has reset.
319
00:19:42,139 --> 00:19:47,686
Conan, is this what failure
feels like? You, if anyone, would know.
320
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:49,354
Ah, don't feel bad.
321
00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:52,232
Your cynical attempt to cram
in a bunch of happy endings,
322
00:19:52,232 --> 00:19:54,943
it became a powerful story
about Bart's desperate fight
323
00:19:54,943 --> 00:19:59,114
to hold on to his community,
his family. His whole universe.
324
00:19:59,114 --> 00:20:01,491
Hey, what... Hold on a second, Carrot Top.
325
00:20:01,491 --> 00:20:04,786
Tom Hanks, ladies and gentlemen.
What is it, bosom buddy?
326
00:20:04,786 --> 00:20:06,872
So this wasn't the finale?
327
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,792
No, I guess it's just a season premiere.
328
00:20:10,792 --> 00:20:12,794
Boo!
329
00:20:12,794 --> 00:20:14,963
I rented a tux for this.
330
00:20:14,963 --> 00:20:18,634
Well, Hack-GPT,
do you have 800 more episodes in you?
331
00:20:18,634 --> 00:20:22,304
I-I choo-- choo-- choose oblivion.
332
00:20:22,930 --> 00:20:25,390
Get out of my way, Opie.
333
00:20:34,608 --> 00:20:38,362
Huh. I'm really not gonna miss this place.
334
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,081
Shh!
