Talking Simpsons - Burns' Heir
🕑 Added 2017-06-21 04:59:00 +0000 UTC After a brush with death, Mr. Burns decides to name an heir who isn't a girl or a geek. He ends up with Bart, who trades his family for a Bob Mackie original. Look, it'll all make sense once you listen.

I always read the "Mr. Kurns" part as Homer trying to intentionally write the card as if Bart had some sort of learning difficulties, so Mr Burns would feel sympathy for him and give him the money. That why I thought he made him say "Me Sick" at the end, to better spell out the implied learning difficulties. I also thought Homers responses ("Oooh, he card-reads good" and "It's Kurns, stupid") were that he had gone complete method with the character he'd created for Bart. Anyway, the joke works for me as stupid Homer or manipulative Homer, it's funny either way.

Looking forward to the 100th episode, which is among my very favorites.
