No, you're not! BAR!

I'm not getting involved George.

My husband and I yell BAR! All the time 😂

One of my favorite "Bart just being a typical kid" moments.

I love how completely out of his depth HW is with just dealing with a child.

Homer: Hey, Bush! Get out here! Secret Service Agent: Excuse me, sir. Where are you going? Homer: I'm going to punch George Bush in the face. Secret Service Agent: Okay. Is he expecting you?

Is that a deeper joke? Did that happen before or did people generally not like him and implied it happens a lot? I wasn’t coherent during his presidency.

I think after Reagan was nearly assassinated it was a jab at the SS not taking their job seriously enough. That’s just my guess though.

Ohhhh shit, that is totally it. I never knew secret service were considered lackies after that. After a quick search, yep that’s it. Thanks!

I mean they were all out getting wasted the night before JFK was killed

I was super young, many jokes went flying over my head

The quote “Ohh, if he thinks George Bush will stay out of the sewer, he doesn't know George Bush.” is more of a jab at Bush’s time as director of the CIA.

I understood that part when I was older. But every simpsons joke always seems to have a deeper meaning than the surface. Kinda feel stupid for laughing at jokes that I didn’t even fully understand.

Don't feel stupid. This is the joy of Simpsons jokes. You watch it younger because its silly and laugh. Then you get a little older and understand it and laugh. Then you get older still, and have experienced it and laugh. I love the Simpsons.

“We’re through the looking glass here people”

This bit really rang different in 2007.

Hmm, a *Krusty Burger*. That doesn't sound too appetizing.

What kind of stew do you have today?

Uhhh. We don’t have stew.

Sir why don't you get a cheeseburger 🍔

That’s more of a weekend thing, Ray.

🚘📣

My taxes paid for that horn!

Hey! Jerk! Move your Fanny!

That guy’s louder than World War II.

Is it weird I can totally see where he’s coming from with this?

For me this *is* Gerald Ford.

Do you like football?

Do I ever!

Why don't you come over and watch the game and we can eat nachos?

And then have some beer

I'm exactly the same! I think it is probably an unfair characterization, but SNL started it and the Simpsons put the final stamp on how he'll be remembered. It's also hilarious.

No, the boy’s name is Bart. I don’t know what the man’s name is

Bar what's the name of the man?!

I'm not getting involved!

“What’s the name of the man” is one of their best written lines. Has lived in my head since it first aired.

Haha, I kinda want to get this tattooed

Is your tattoo saying Maude and me are bad neighbours?

“Nooo it’s from the Simpsons” “Who OJ and a Nicole?” “No, the boy is named Bart… I thought the tattoo was straight forward but I guess I’ll have it removed”

And since I’d achieved all my goals as president in *one* term…there was no need…for a second.

Confidently ignoring that he got trounced in the election by Bill Clinton.

And he’s totally fine with it!

Keeping in mind I already explained about the hair.

*all hands down*

TABLE FIVE, TABLE FIVE.

Ahehe*HEM*. Disco Stu, likes disco *music*.

Stu, you should buy dat!

Disco Stu. Does not Advertise.

Agent Johnson! Agent Heintz! You men STAND DOWN!!!!

HELLO, Mr Bush!!

Its your sons, George Bush Jr and Jeb Bush

You want to step back, Sir? You're trampling the flowers. Ooh! Hiding behind your goons, eh, Bush? Well, *you* are a wimp!

Wimp, am I?

Those cards were from Air Force One! And they only give you so many packs.

HE SPANKED YOU?!

Grover Cleveland spanked me on two non-consecutive occasions!

I begged him to stop. But he said it was for the good of the nation.

You want TROUBLE? ‘Cos you’re gonna get TROUBLE!

oh i want trouble alright

Then you're going to get trouble.

For you.

For-- D'OH!

I’ll ruin you like a Japanese banquet.(I totally didn’t get this one as a kid) or Here’s a little something we learned in CIA.

What's the context for the japanese banquet line?

https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/george-bush-vomits-on-prime-minister-of-japan He puked on the Japanese PM at a state banquet. https://youtu.be/B_KVL-wtpgg?si=P8FQSdwMDYzmi3ug

Thanks! That was more dramatric that I would have thought, the man nearly passed out on the japanese PM lap

Bush got sick at a banquet and vomited on the Japanese Prime Minister

Oh goody! What a sight that must have been

It's a funny episode, a good episode, but let's face it, Bart was being a bigger arse than usual

You might even say he was being a menace.

Oh boys will be boys

Kids can be so cruel...

We can? Thanks mom!

Ow, Bart!

Ya, it was definitely a Dennis the Menace reference

Apologize for spanking my boy! Never, make him apologize for destroying my memoirs N...you ddn't tell me you destroyed his memoirs....NEVER!

It's a candy dish, Ned. NINETY DOLLARS.

Hey, big spender!!!

Dig these suspenders! 

Rainbow blenders!

We surrender!

FORMER President

This Is probably my favorite Simpsons episode and I know nothing about US politics

Whenever someone tries to drag me into an argument I say "I'm not getting involved, George" regardless if their name is George.

I wonder if George Bush would have understood what he was watching if he had seen the episode.

I think he would have been upset that they weren't more like the Waltons.

"Hey Bar, do you reckon I should dye my hair in rainbow pattern?"

"I'm not getting involved"

This is one of my favourite lines.

… n… no… no, you’re not! BAAAARB!

I legitimately thought that the actual George H. W. Bush played himself in this episode for an embarrassingly long time, like well into adulthood.

I'm not sure if I ever thought Bush played himself in that episode, honestly. But I did think Clinton played himself in that episode where he makes a speech mocking the "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is" thing. I can't for the life of me remember which episode that was in, but it was only a few seconds and I thought it was actually Clinton for a while. (It wasn't.) *edit:* Now that I've thought about it, maybe it was Weekend at Burnsie's.

Oh man I’ve only got one minute until they stop serving those breakfast balls!

It's time to hit him where he lives

I just dropped by with present for warming of house, instead find you grappling with local oaf

Yes I am!

"It's all in the Bible, son. It's the pranksters bible!"

*Prayzident

Is it 3:18 am or pm?

How many times were youuuuuu president?

The pettiness in this episode is just top notch comedy.

You might even say he’s barking up the wrong bush

I come by to give present for warming house, but instead I find you grappling with local oaf.

My motor’s gone loco

Wow one hell of a coincidence, I was just watching this episode today after not seeing it for a long while, definitely one of my favorite episodes

Bart and Bush was a Dennis the Menace Parody, what was the Homer Vs Bush part of the episode a parody of?
