Watch The Simpsons 101 Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire Christmas Special

It's a not-so-merry Christmas for the Simpsons, when Mr. Burns decides to cut the Christmas bonuses and Marge had to spend the Christmas savings to erase a tattoo Bart thought would make a great Christmas present. In order to hide the fact that he did not get the bonus, Homer takes a second job as a store Santa. NOTES: Patty, Selma, Ned and Todd Flanders, Mr. Burns, Smithers, and Grampa Simpson are introduced (although Smithers has a voice-only part). This episode is on the Christmas with the Simpsons DVD (as well as on the Season 1 DVD set).

The Simpsons voices are different and unlikely identified. Like the part when Mr. Burns announces that there will be no Christmas bonuses.

Even I wasn't born when this was created and is not familiar with the events at this time, I can say that this first ever episode is a classic. It is even applicable to today's economic crash.

funny episode

2010-06-09 at 05:43 AM Lone Scout 117 said:

Also the shorts are great and classic because thats what started "The Simpsons" It all straded on the tracey Ullman show and still gos on and if you are wondering why the voices are different it is because Matt Groening himself played all the voices of the characters until Dan,Julie,Nancy,Hank,Yeardley came along!!And if your wodering who tracey Ullman is watch season 5 the Ep called "Bart Gets Famous"or look him up but definitly Classic and good!!

2010-04-08 at 02:46 AM joecool6101 said:

you must know NOTHING about the simpsons at all if you think this is not the first episode.. the Tracey Ullman shorts are just that not "the simpsons" if you want to see them then click "shorts" in the top navigation..

2010-04-07 at 08:21 PM muddles said:

I am unfortunate to say but the quality is terrible, the season and episode to call this "the first one" is incorrect and that this is far from the first one, rather its the first one of the NEW simpsons- i thought i was going to see some real old animated simpsons... figures i would be wrong...

2010-04-03 at 11:49 PM Mistress said:

What, is Lisa not wearing any underwear during the show at 01.36??! Talk about questionable content...

Hey, can someone help me? I can't download the episodes. Every time I click on the word Download, it appears the download of a program,i.e. Graboid. Why is this happening? Is it to be like that? I'd really love to have the episodes downloaded! Thank u! :)

2010-02-07 at 01:28 PM murphy2112 said:

After all these years, this still holds up. This is 'The Simpsons' distilled to its absolute essence, which makes it incredibly charming after the show's plots have become more intricate. There aren't as many fast-paced, laugh-hard jokes, but the eternal Simpsons message is still there: above all else, family is the most important.

I love this show so much. And even if the new episodes aren't as great as mid-season fare, I'd rather have mediocre Simpsons than no Simpsons at all. From this episode to the movie and beyond, 'The Simpsons' will always be my favourite show and the best family on TV.

Lewis changes from black to yellow when Milhouse dares Bart to pull Santa's beard off.
After Homer brings Santa's Little Helper home, Homer and Marge hug, and if you look behind them, the background is upside down. There is a picture hanging upside down, and there is a lamp which seems to be hanging from the ceiling. Then in the next shot, the background is normal.
When Homer walks out Circus of Values with his purchases, he bumps into Flanders, and all the presents scatter everywhere. Watch out for a red present with a green bow that goes flying near the left hand side of the screen. As soon as it hits the ground it turns into a pink box with a white bow wrapped around it, with no shot changes. Other presents move around and change colours too.
While having breakfast, all of the Simpsons' glasses of orange juice keep disappearing and reappearing throughout the scene.
Bart yanks Homer's beard off in the mall, Homer then takes Bart into Santa's workshop. When they are inside Santa's workshop, Homer's beard is back on, despite the fact that he didn't put it back on, he let it fall to the ground when Bart pulled it off.
When Marge is speaking on the phone to her sisters, her sisters say something that sounds like they said that Homer is ugly. Marge then puts down the phone wire that she was curling round her finger. It is easier to see this when you are using DVD, because then you can go into slow-motion, but you can temporarily see that the phone wire disappears when Marge puts it down. It is at the very end of an early scene, because as soon as this happens it changes to another scene.
When Homer finds out that he has no Christmas bonus the background behind Marge is the kitchen, but then it cuts to Homer and the background behind him is the kitchen too.
When Homer has been informed about the Christmas money being spent on Bart getting his tattoo surgically removed, he leaves the house. When he opens and closes the door to leave, the wreath on the door is white with a red bow. When Homer then turns to look his Christmas decorations, the wreath is now green.
Just before the kitchen mistake, Marge comes through the door and you see that she has come from a room with a piano in it. It has a musical book on it. But when the shot changes so we see Marge turn the jar upside down, the book of musical notes has disappeared.
When Mr. Burns comes on the P.A. system Homer started eating a donut, he takes a bite and after that the donut stays the same size even though he takes 2 more bites.
When Homer is putting Christmas lights around the outside of the house, he falls from the roof. You can then hear Lisa and Bart sarcastically clap. But you can see they both have their hands by their side, and no-one is clapping.
When Milhouse, Bart and Lewis are talking about the fake Santa, Milhouse's eyebrows go from blue to black to blue again.
When Homer walks up the front drive you can see the road and there are no markings on it. But when he turns to look at his house, there are orange lines running down the road.
When Marge reveals the Christmas money from her hair, her necklace changes from red to white.
When Homer says that he isn't getting a bonus from the power plant he is facing the kitchen but in the next shot Marge is behind Homer who is behind the kitchen.
The little boy in the play at the beginning appears to be Ralph Wiggum, but his voice is completely different.

The first episode ever and it still RULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLES!

2009-03-30 at 04:03 AM Sinist3r Punk said:

Attention everyone that complains about this episode!!
The reason that the voices arent perfect and the animations are weird are that this episode was created back in the 80's when animation was still kinda new
and Matt Groening did not have a lot of money to pay for voice actors, or expensive animations. So the next time you whine about how bad this episode is, why don't you go out and try to create your own animated tv show and see how well it turns out?

their voices are different, but i guess they would, this being the first season and all, and we're currently on, what, season 19?

but still, great episode =D
