    Needless to say, I vastly underestimated how many video games are in the world of Springfield 😬
  • @Nerfyboy800
    It's my headcannon that Milhouse's gamertag is THRILLHOUSE
  • @basknrobin6261
    I love it when Lisa failed a test because she played a Crash Bandicoot knock off lol
  • @VelvetTeacake
    Lee Carvello's Putting Challenge is so memorable for such a short joke.
  • @i.l.l.l.l.
    Bart and Millhouse were definitely Sega kids. Martin was a Nintendo kid
  • @OH_MY_DOGGG
    He's the calmest gamer you ever heard He's the simpsons video game nerd.
  • @etheweirdo_art
    "That weird street fighter game where you fight a tank for some reason" Dang I can't believe they predicted Akatsuki blitzkamf. The simpsons truly predict everything.
  • @SS2Dante
    I maintain that the "My Dinner With Andre" joke is the best videogame-related media joke of all time.
  • @tazelwurm4968
    Hold on, I just realized something big. Crunchy, overly pixely graphics, but decent sound sampling? Asking you to press numbered buttons? Pointedly unpopular with nobody buying it? Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge is 100% an Atari Jaguar game.

    Excuse me, Mr RealJims.. On the Itchy and Scratchy CD-ROM, is there a way to get out of the dungeon without using the wizard key?
  • @ArsonRaboot
    My favorite detail is that Homer name drops Wario, but is confused when Lisa brings up Mario Kart, implying Homer is a Warioware fan. Or even more legendary, a Wario Land fan! Or maybe he knows him from Mario party. IDK.
  • 8:50 They didn't want Yoshi on screen because whenever Yoshi wasn't on screen, everyone else would be asking: "Where's Yoshi?"
  • @possiblyadog
    Fun fact, someone actually made a playable version of "Kevin Costner's Waterworld." Well, maybe playable isn't the right word, cuz you will die extremely often and have to deposit 40 (digital) quarters everytime.
  • @DrWattson
    The Funtendo and Mapple era is a very low point for parody names in The Simpsons
  • It still blows my mind that they referenced Polybius, probably my favorite video game background gag
  • @AllG98
    You have no idea how excited I was when I first saw “Dash Dingo” as a hardcore Crash Bandicoot fan when that episode first came out. “Game over, MAAATE!”
  • @SouprSpookr
    29:04 I cannot believe my art made it into a RealJims video this is insane lol. Thank you for featuring my art in the video!!!
  • @AlexTenThousand
    That Sonic billboard is all over the place - the whole "Sonic Says" thing was in the DIC/Mediaset-produced Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog from '93 (which, fun fact, predated Sonic CD by a few weeks, with that game - and Amy - debuting in late Septermber '93 in Japan), so it's a reference to that, yet that Amy design is obviously the modern one, with the dress, boots and her quills combed downwards.

    “This was before blockbuster took over the industry” Good lord this show is old
