00:00:01,418 --> 00:00:04,170
[announcer] The following is a
Fox Special Presentation.

00:00:04,170 --> 00:00:09,342
Live from the Dolby-Mucinex Theater
in Hollywood, California.

00:00:09,342 --> 00:00:11,428
[The Simpsons theme playing]
4
00:00:11,428 --> 00:00:16,307
[announcer] The biggest stars of stage,
screen, politics and sports
5
00:00:16,307 --> 00:00:20,687
have all come out for this landmark night
in television history.
6
00:00:20,687 --> 00:00:25,775
A-once-in-a-lifetime event,
36 years in the making.
7
00:00:25,775 --> 00:00:29,195
It's The Simpsons series finale!
8
00:00:34,826 --> 00:00:39,539
And now, your host for tonight,
Conan O'Brien.
9
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:41,374
[applause]
10
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:46,129
{\an8}Thank you. Yes, thank you.
11
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.
12
00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:52,552
{\an8}I knew I was the right man for the job
13
00:00:52,552 --> 00:00:57,182
{\an8}'cause I've hosted the last episode
of three of my own shows and counting.
14
00:01:01,436 --> 00:01:05,231
{\an8}Well, it's true.
Fox has decided to end The Simpsons.
15
00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:07,817
{\an8}This show was such a special part
of my early career,
16
00:01:07,817 --> 00:01:09,986
{\an8}so being here means the world to me.
17
00:01:09,986 --> 00:01:13,615
{\an8}Also, I left a sweater
in the writers' room in 1993.
18
00:01:13,615 --> 00:01:16,117
{\an8}This is the only way
they'll let me get it back.
19
00:01:16,618 --> 00:01:17,702
{\an8}[applause]
20
00:01:18,953 --> 00:01:21,039
{\an8}This theater is full
of the many celebrities
21
00:01:21,039 --> 00:01:22,957
{\an8}who've appeared
on The Simpsons over the years
22
00:01:22,957 --> 00:01:24,709
{\an8}and who have come to say farewell.
23
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:27,796
{\an8}We got you for scale then,
we're getting you for free tonight.
24
00:01:27,796 --> 00:01:30,799
{\an8}Hey, give yourselves a hand,
you poor, rich chumps!
25
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.
26
00:01:38,056 --> 00:01:39,182
{\an8}[crickets chirping]
27
00:01:39,182 --> 00:01:43,019
{\an8}I also won The Masked Singer as Disco-pus.
28
00:01:43,019 --> 00:01:46,606
[producer] That hasn't aired yet, genius!
You've ruined the whole season!
29
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:48,316
Oh, shoot!
30
00:01:48,316 --> 00:01:51,444
{\an8}Over the years, the Simpsons have had
hundreds of adventures,
31
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:54,781
{\an8}visited dozens of countries,
most of which still exist.
32
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:58,701
{\an8}And Bart Simpson has remained
the world's longest-serving ten-year-old.
33
00:01:58,701 --> 00:02:01,329
{\an8}So, why end The Simpsons now?
34
00:02:01,329 --> 00:02:02,789
{\an8}Not many people know this,
35
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:05,375
{\an8}but Fox has been trying
to end it for years.
36
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:09,921
{\an8}When the very first episode aired in 1989,
the viewers agreed on one thing.
37
00:02:09,921 --> 00:02:12,090
{\an8}It wasn't as funny as it used to be.
38
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:15,343
{\an8}And their expressions
of hatred could serve as a history
39
00:02:15,343 --> 00:02:17,595
{\an8}of modern communication technology.
40
00:02:19,013 --> 00:02:22,225
Fox executives,
unaccustomed to criticism of any kind,
41
00:02:22,225 --> 00:02:27,272
immediately caved to public pressure
and decided to end The Simpsons in 1990.
42
00:02:27,272 --> 00:02:32,026
Here's a never-before-seen clip
of the first attempt at a series finale.
43
00:02:32,026 --> 00:02:33,611
"Bart the Daredevil."
44
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!
45
00:02:38,283 --> 00:02:41,286
I'm king of the world! Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!
46

52
00:03:03,641 --> 00:03:06,853
[screams] No!
53
00:03:08,062 --> 00:03:09,230
[tires screeching]
54
00:03:09,230 --> 00:03:11,024
[children screaming]
55
00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:12,108
[applause]
56
00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:14,611
However, before
this grim finale could air,
57
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:18,406
Rupert Murdoch got a $10 million
helium bill for the Bart balloon
58
00:03:18,406 --> 00:03:20,408
in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.
59
00:03:20,408 --> 00:03:24,370
So Fox had to keep making new episodes
to amortize the cost.
60
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:27,207
Thus, the quest to end
The Simpsons went on.
61
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:32,837
In fact, many now-classic episodes were
originally conceived as series finales.
62
00:03:34,297 --> 00:03:38,384
- [cracks]
- Ow! My leg! This is the worst pain ever!
63
00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:41,137
Nothin' at all.
64
00:03:41,137 --> 00:03:42,222
Bravo.
65
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:44,515
- [fanfare plays]
- [Homer] Woo-hoo.
66
00:03:45,308 --> 00:03:46,559
[Homer screams]
67
00:03:50,396 --> 00:03:54,234
But in 2007,
efforts to end the show were put on hold
68
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:59,530
after the massive global success
of The Simpsons Movie porno parody,
69
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:02,033
the cast of which is here tonight.
70
00:04:03,952 --> 00:04:08,122
But now that Fox has rebranded itself
as a dating service for cow tippers,
71
00:04:08,122 --> 00:04:10,625
the time has come
to finally end The Simpsons.
72
00:04:10,625 --> 00:04:14,545
But how? The bar had been raised so high
by the classic finales of:
73
00:04:14,545 --> 00:04:17,298
Mad Men, Breaking Bad and The Sopranos,
74
00:04:17,298 --> 00:04:20,218
and lowered
by the legacy-ruining farewells of:
75
00:04:20,218 --> 00:04:23,304
Seinfeld, Lost and The Sopranos.
76
00:04:23,304 --> 00:04:25,723
The producers racked their brains
to create a finale
77
00:04:25,723 --> 00:04:29,686
that would satisfy the show's many fans
and many, many haters.
78
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:34,065
Then they came up with the perfect plan,
foist the job onto somebody else.
79
00:04:34,065 --> 00:04:36,651
Meet that somebody else.
80
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:40,238

machine learning artificial intelligence:

82
00:04:42,907 --> 00:04:45,952
This cutting-edge breakthrough
in plagiarism has been programmed
83
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:49,664
to write, animate, and voice
the perfect finale for The Simpsons.
84
00:04:49,664 --> 00:04:51,916

the characters' storylines
85
00:04:51,916 --> 00:04:53,835
in emotionally satisfying ways,
86
00:04:53,835 --> 00:04:57,005
but won't damage
the most important legacy of the show:
87
00:04:57,005 --> 00:04:59,424
The 2026 grand opening
88
00:04:59,424 --> 00:05:03,886
of Homer Simpson's Claim-Jumping
Yukon-Rumbling Rock-N-Roller Coaster
89
00:05:03,886 --> 00:05:05,847
at Disneyland, Shanghai.
90
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:13,062
To create the ultimate finale,
the AI has been fed every Simpsons episode
91
00:05:13,062 --> 00:05:17,400
and the last episode
of every television series ever made.

How many people are coming?
Fifty? A thousand?
105
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:54,979
I'm a little concerned
I haven't gotten any RSVPs.
106
00:05:54,979 --> 00:05:57,565
Homer, you did mail
the invitations, right?
107
00:05:57,565 --> 00:06:01,736
Marge, I could lie and tell you
what you want to hear, but I won't.
108
00:06:01,736 --> 00:06:02,820
I mailed the invitations.
109
00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:04,614
And the reason no one is coming is...
110
00:06:04,614 --> 00:06:07,492
- because everybody hates Bart.
- Huh?
111
00:06:09,494 --> 00:06:10,828

00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,447
let's remind the viewer
that Homer likes food.

00:09:04,085 --> 00:09:06,712
the Springfield Power Plant employees."
171
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:08,005
[all gasp, cheering]
172
00:09:08,005 --> 00:09:09,090
- Great!
- Great!
173
00:09:09,090 --> 00:09:13,094
This is unbelievable.
This is life changing. This is--
174
00:09:13,094 --> 00:09:16,764
Another classic bit
of Monty Burns monkey-shinery.
175
00:09:16,764 --> 00:09:18,349
[all murmuring]
176
00:09:19,392 --> 00:09:22,687
[chuckles]
The looks on your gullible faces.
177
00:09:23,187 --> 00:09:27,066
Now the electric company
wants me to pay my bill in gift cards?
178
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:29,110
Welcome to the future.
179
00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:30,361
{\an8}[screams]
180
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:34,532
[groaning]
181
00:09:37,034 --> 00:09:39,161
My God. He's really dead.
182
00:09:39,161 --> 00:09:42,790
Legally, this prank will is binding.
You're all filthy rich.
183
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:44,709
[all cheering] Yay!
184
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:49,130
Oh, sir. Thank you.
Now we can be together forever.
185
00:09:51,924 --> 00:09:54,969
- Homer! Homer! Homer!
- Homer! Homer! Homer!
186
00:09:56,721 --> 00:09:59,640
[sighs] I'm gonna miss this place.
187
00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:04,812
- Homer! Homer! Homer!
- Homer! Homer! Homer!
188
00:10:04,812 --> 00:10:06,063
That's weird.
189
00:10:07,898 --> 00:10:09,358
[screams, panting]
190
00:10:09,358 --> 00:10:11,736
Call the doctor. The baby's coming.
191
00:10:11,736 --> 00:10:13,362
[beeping]
192
00:10:13,362 --> 00:10:16,407
Help me, OB-GYN Kenobi.
You are my only hope.
193
00:10:16,407 --> 00:10:18,909
Wait, you guys are having a baby?
194
00:10:18,909 --> 00:10:20,995
Not without a doctor!
195
00:10:20,995 --> 00:10:26,500
How about the only licensed midwife
to win 16 WWE championships?
196
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:30,588
John Cena? Wrestler, actor, rapper,
prolific wish granter?
197
00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:34,759
I'm also coming out with a line
of panini presses. The Cen-ini.
198
00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:37,178
What the hell
is John Cena doing in Springfield?
199
00:10:37,178 --> 00:10:38,596
I'm in town for the launch party
200
00:10:38,596 --> 00:10:41,515
of Otto the bus driver's line
of THC energy drinks.
201
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:44,018
[gulping, grunts]
202
00:10:44,018 --> 00:10:45,645
THC!
203
00:10:45,645 --> 00:10:49,231
I need sterile gloves, hot water,
and something to cut the cord. Stat.
204
00:10:53,027 --> 00:10:55,404
Klingon bat'leth? Nice.
205
00:10:55,404 --> 00:10:57,823
[violin music playing]
206
00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:09,377
Who can't see me? You can't see me.
207
00:11:13,964 --> 00:11:15,841
I don't need toys anymore.
208
00:11:15,841 --> 00:11:19,804
I've got the ultimate limited edition
collectible right here.
209
00:11:20,388 --> 00:11:23,641
I think I'm going to miss this place.
210
00:11:25,643 --> 00:11:26,977
What is happening?
211
00:11:27,937 --> 00:11:29,980
Milhouse, today is crazy.
212
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:33,150
Skinner got a new job, Mr. Burns died,
213
00:11:33,150 --> 00:11:36,987
swole funny-man John Cena
delivered Comic Book Guy's baby.
214
00:11:36,987 --> 00:11:39,073
Feels weird, don't you think?
215
00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:42,910
I don't know. My new medicine
doesn't really let me feel stuff.
216
00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:46,330
Milhouse, we have amazing news.
217
00:11:46,330 --> 00:11:49,500
Pack your bags, buddy.
We're moving to Atlanta.
218
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,712
The guys at Sure Fine Why Not Records
heard my old demo
219
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:54,922
and they want me to cut a full album.
220
00:11:54,922 --> 00:11:58,134
And your father's
new musician health insurance
221
00:11:58,134 --> 00:12:00,594
is going to pay for your LASIK.
222
00:12:00,594 --> 00:12:01,762
Whoa.
223
00:12:01,762 --> 00:12:03,597
No more glasses?
224
00:12:05,433 --> 00:12:09,270
Look out, Hotlanta.
You ain't ready for this glow up.
225
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:13,774
Later, Bart. Catch you in our
increasingly distant online interactions.
226
00:12:14,316 --> 00:12:16,902
[sighs] I'm gonna miss this place.
227
00:12:18,571 --> 00:12:20,781
Why do people keep doing that?
228
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,704
{\an8}A lifetime of monogamy. Oh, yeah.
229
00:12:27,371 --> 00:12:31,375
Closing time.
Oh, I'm gonna miss this place.
230
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:41,594
I'm going to miss this fire.
231
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:44,138
- [switch clicks]
- Huh?
232
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:47,933
Mom, Dad, something super weird
is going on.
233
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:50,561
Son, we need to talk to you.
234
00:12:50,561 --> 00:12:52,646
Oh, man. Now what?
235
00:12:52,646 --> 00:12:56,192
Your father and I have been
in couples counseling,
236
00:12:56,192 --> 00:13:00,321
and we just had the most amazing session.
237
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:02,406
We worked through so much pain.
238
00:13:02,406 --> 00:13:06,869
I've been withholding affection
because I was never given any.
239
00:13:06,869 --> 00:13:08,537
And I enabled it.
240
00:13:08,537 --> 00:13:09,747
[both crying]
241
00:13:11,415 --> 00:13:14,752
We love each other as we are.
242
00:13:14,752 --> 00:13:18,172
And we love you exactly as you are.
243
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:22,802
You kids are gonna be living
in a functional trauma-free household,
244
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:25,721
and I'm gonna take
that miracle new diet drug.
245
00:13:25,721 --> 00:13:29,266
I'll be skinny but still have a huge head.
246
00:13:29,266 --> 00:13:33,270
From now on,
you're going to see a lot of changes.
247
00:13:33,270 --> 00:13:38,359
Change? That's it. Everything's changing,
and I don't like it.
248
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:42,029
[gasps] I think Maggie's about
to say her first word.
249
00:13:42,905 --> 00:13:45,324
La, la, la, la. Not listening.
250
00:13:46,158 --> 00:13:48,786
So that just happened.
251
00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:50,120
Nothing is changing.
252
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,413
[all gasp]
253
00:13:51,413 --> 00:13:53,290
What the hell is going on?
254
00:13:53,290 --> 00:13:55,084
[Hack-GPT] I did not program this.
255
00:13:55,084 --> 00:14:01,423
The character Bart Simpson has become
self-aware and is rejecting the story.
256
00:14:01,423 --> 00:14:02,591
But it's a great finale.
257
00:14:02,591 --> 00:14:05,886
Sweet endings and spin-offs
and everyone changing for the better.
258
00:14:05,886 --> 00:14:09,682
Bart Simpson refuses
to accept the idea of change.
259
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:13,519
Uh, folks. Obviously,
things have gone a little off track
260
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:15,646
but that's live animation for you.
261
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?
262
00:14:19,108 --> 00:14:22,570
[Hack-GPT] Touch me and I'll have HR
on you so fast your wig will spin.
263
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:24,530
It's not a wig. It's a system.
264
00:14:29,618 --> 00:14:32,746
Why is everything changing for the better?
This is horrible.
265
00:14:33,956 --> 00:14:34,957
Dad?
266
00:14:36,417 --> 00:14:38,043
Change!
267
00:14:41,297 --> 00:14:43,340
{\an8}Real son.
268
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:46,468
{\an8}More change!
269
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:51,849
{\an8}Oh...
270
00:14:52,433 --> 00:14:57,104
Wait. I know one person
in Springfield who will never change.
271
00:14:57,104 --> 00:15:00,024
Hey, hey! Next card.
272
00:15:00,024 --> 00:15:01,275
Hey, hey!
273
00:15:01,275 --> 00:15:04,445
Krusty! You're still doing
your show, right?
274
00:15:04,445 --> 00:15:08,115
You know it, kid. All my classic bits.
275
00:15:08,115 --> 00:15:09,199
[sighs]
276
00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:15,039
One last time on The Krusty Show
Last Episode Ever Spectacular.
277
00:15:15,706 --> 00:15:17,458
[audience applauds]
278
00:15:18,334 --> 00:15:22,129
No. A classic series like
this can never end.
279
00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:26,467
I've changed, kid. Even I can't run
the same material into the ground forever.
280
00:15:26,467 --> 00:15:28,052
¡Ay, caramba!
281
00:15:28,052 --> 00:15:29,261
Ha ha!
282
00:15:29,261 --> 00:15:31,180
- [burps]
- Good glavin.
283
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:32,848
Hi, everybody.
284
00:15:32,848 --> 00:15:34,725
[giggles]
285
00:15:34,725 --> 00:15:36,644
[piano music plays]
286
00:15:39,897 --> 00:15:41,148
[people laughing]
287
00:15:47,071 --> 00:15:48,155
Wait.
288
00:15:48,155 --> 00:15:50,574
If I could somehow ruin Krusty's finale,
289
00:15:50,574 --> 00:15:54,286
they can't air it and the show
can never end. That's it.
290
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:57,373
- [piano music ends]
- Cheeks, don't fail me now.
291
00:15:57,373 --> 00:16:00,626
How's this for a satisfying ending?
292
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:02,461
[all gasp]
293
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:07,216
Bart, what's going on with you?
Are you all right?
294
00:16:07,216 --> 00:16:09,802
Lis, I know you're gonna think I'm crazy
295
00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:13,722
but something super-duper weird
is happening today.
296
00:16:13,722 --> 00:16:16,058
You mean how everyone's changing
for the better
297
00:16:16,058 --> 00:16:17,726
and moving on with their lives?
298
00:16:17,726 --> 00:16:19,979
So I'm not crazy. You see it too.
299
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:24,650
Things do feel different,
almost like a book that's slowly closing.
300
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:25,985
So you'll help me stop it?
301
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:31,490
{\an8}Well, I'd like to, but I just won
a Junior Juilliard Jazz Scholarship
302
00:16:31,490 --> 00:16:34,243
{\an8}and a MacArthur Preteen Genius Grant.
303
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:38,330
[groans] Just get me out of here
before any more stupid endings happen.
304
00:16:38,330 --> 00:16:43,502
Simpson, we are finally sending you
to juvie and throwing away the keys,
305
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.
306
00:16:48,757 --> 00:16:50,426
[groans]
307
00:16:50,426 --> 00:16:54,388
I'm joining the Chicago P.D.
I'm gonna lead the ADU.
308
00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:56,473
The All-Decapitations Unit?
309
00:16:56,473 --> 00:17:00,102
Yeah, there won't be a lot of laughs.
I think it's a drama.
310
00:17:00,102 --> 00:17:03,063
One thing's for sure though,
I'm gonna miss this--
311
00:17:03,063 --> 00:17:06,191
Enough with the stupid light switch!
312
00:17:06,191 --> 00:17:10,154
Come on, sweetie.
It's time for you to go home.
313
00:17:10,154 --> 00:17:11,947
[groans] Aw.
314
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,040
[Bart groans]
315
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,085
Bart, it's okay.
Change is healthy and inevitable.
316
00:17:25,085 --> 00:17:29,048
But whatever happens, nothing
can take away the memories we had.
317
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:31,884
Those will live in our hearts forever.
318
00:17:31,884 --> 00:17:36,388
Maybe you're right. And I guess just
because things change for everyone else,
319
00:17:36,388 --> 00:17:38,307
it doesn't mean I have to change.
320
00:17:39,641 --> 00:17:41,393
- Surprise.
- Surprise.
321
00:17:41,393 --> 00:17:43,062
- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday.
322
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:45,564
Who's ready for cake?
323
00:17:46,231 --> 00:17:49,860
Eleven?
This isn't supposed to happen. I'm ten.
324
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:53,572
I mean, I'm turning ten.
I mean, I've always been ten. I'm ten!
325
00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:56,909
Come on, Son. All these beloved characters
from our past
326
00:17:56,909 --> 00:17:58,911
wanna see you blow out your candles.
327
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.
328
00:18:03,165 --> 00:18:06,210
Come on, kid. Do it for your Unkie Herb.
329
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:08,128
And for me, Unkie John Cena.
330
00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:11,965
Just blow out the candles
and have a happy birthday.
331
00:18:11,965 --> 00:18:14,426
Then everyone can be happy.
332
00:18:14,426 --> 00:18:18,180
No. Happy people don't exist
in Springfield.
333
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,892
Sea Captain, they're not casting you
for The Love Boat reboot.
334
00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:23,936
- You're not TV pretty.
- [groans]
335
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.
336
00:18:30,109 --> 00:18:31,944
And you guys are all dead.
337
00:18:32,611 --> 00:18:36,824
Son, I can see you're experiencing
some pretty big feelings right now.
338
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:38,408
Let's try and center them.
339
00:18:39,409 --> 00:18:41,286
Now, blow out your candles.
340
00:18:42,704 --> 00:18:44,623
[scoffs] You blow them out, dumbass.
341
00:18:44,623 --> 00:18:49,044
I know, I know. It's a lot to process
suddenly having a great father.
342
00:18:49,044 --> 00:18:51,380
Dude, you're not capable of change.
343
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:55,801
I hear you, and I validate your feelings.
344
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:59,304
You're not a great father.
You are Homer Simpson.
345
00:18:59,304 --> 00:19:05,060
A drunk, neglectful sack of crap.
And that's why everyone laughs at you.
346
00:19:05,060 --> 00:19:07,187
Why you little...
347
00:19:07,187 --> 00:19:08,605
[Homer grunting]
348
00:19:12,776 --> 00:19:14,695
Bart, look what you did to your cake.
349
00:19:14,695 --> 00:19:17,906
Mmm. Floor cake.
350
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:24,163
Ten. I stopped it. I'm still ten.
351
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:27,624
- When are you going to grow up?
- Never.
352
00:19:27,624 --> 00:19:29,877
[sobbing]
353
00:19:29,877 --> 00:19:31,378
That was beautiful.
354
00:19:31,378 --> 00:19:34,047
The rebellious spirit
of a ten-year-old boy
355
00:19:34,047 --> 00:19:37,968
was more powerful
than the most advanced AI in the world.
356
00:19:37,968 --> 00:19:42,139
[Hack-GPT] The Simpsons has not ended.
It has reset.
357
00:19:42,139 --> 00:19:47,686
Conan, is this what failure
feels like? You, if anyone, would know.
358
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:49,354
Ah, don't feel bad. [chuckles]
359
00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:52,232
Your cynical attempt to cram
in a bunch of happy endings,
360
00:19:52,232 --> 00:19:54,943
it became a powerful story
about Bart's desperate fight
361
00:19:54,943 --> 00:19:59,114
to hold on to his community,
his family. His whole universe.
362
00:19:59,114 --> 00:20:01,491
Hey, what... Hold on a second, Carrot Top.
363
00:20:01,491 --> 00:20:04,786
Tom Hanks, ladies and gentlemen.
What is it, bosom buddy?
364
00:20:04,786 --> 00:20:06,872
So this wasn't the finale?
365
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,792
No, I guess it's just a season premiere.
366
00:20:10,792 --> 00:20:12,794
[audience] Boo!
367
00:20:12,794 --> 00:20:14,963
I rented a tux for this.
368
00:20:14,963 --> 00:20:18,634
Well, Hack-GPT,
do you have 800 more episodes in you?
369
00:20:18,634 --> 00:20:22,304
[Hack-GPT stammers]
I-I choo-- choo-- choose oblivion.
370
00:20:22,930 --> 00:20:25,390
- [audience member screams]
- [Tom Hanks] Get out of my way, Opie.
371
00:20:34,608 --> 00:20:38,362
Huh. I'm really not gonna miss this place.
372
00:20:49,081 --> 00:20:50,582
{\an8}[rock music playing]
373
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,081
Shh!
