I’d like the phone book for Hokkaido, Japan please… Thank you, may I please use your phone? Is it a local call? Y…Yes
Discussion
I still wonder where the librarian ran off to
Presumably to call the phone company to try and reverse the long-distance charges lol
"NINE HUNDRED DOLLARYDOOS!" - Library director to the librarian
Better get the Prime Minister
Oy! Mista Prime Minster!
RANDY!!!!
Nah he just using the Dewy Decimal system over web database…
Goddamn that makes me feel old
I always figured he clocked what he was up to & ran off to get his boss, or just took himself away from the situation for plausible deniability 😆
That dog has a fluffy tail!
Same here!
When I was a kid, I always thought he was just annoyed at how loud Homer’s dialing was, and left to do his work in another room. I figured the joke was that because he was a librarian and wants quiet, the sound itself pissed him off so much he didn’t even clock that Homer was calling Japan
To call the cops probably. Too bad the cops are Wiggum.
I love Homer’s half moon specs
You know something good is about to happen when he puts them on
Oh hello, American investor. I see you are interested in distributing Mr. Sparkle in your home prefecture. You have chosen wisely.
But please… don’t believe me.
Observe this commer-cer-al.
The little glasses he puts on gets me every time. It's cute.
Marge? What were your gambling losses last year?
700 hundred dollars!
✍️
hahah yesss
The long dialing tones always crack me up
I love the timing, one of the best wordless gag
Why am I Mr Sparkle??
There’s your answer, fish bulb.
Let’s go home kids
We are home
That was fast
Knife goes in, brains come out
Knife goes in, guts come out. That's what Osaka Seafood Concern is all about
Oh you rike a Mr Sparkle?
I send you premium answer question hundred percent!
JOIN ME OR DIE. CAN YOU DO ANY LESS.
Any plans for summer?
THIS IS NO PLACE FOR LOAFERS
Let’s all be disrespectful to dirt.
I love it when dirt is banished to the land of wind and ghosts.
You have very lucky dishes, Mr. Simpson!
That librarian was a nice fella
He had no reason not to be, Homer was making a local call.
Wonder if he's gay.
EVERYBODY DANCE NOW
Hot stuff, comin' through!
Beep beep beep....beep beep ...beep ..beep beep beep beep beep ....beep beep ....beep beep beep ..beep....
Thank you!
I love it that they just happen to have the phone book of Hokkaido under the counter, like it was something that people regularly request. I wonder what other unexpected volume that library has lying around, the land registry of the Greek region of Attica?
If you think about it, Springfield has a surprisingly large Japanese populaton.
Someone’s skilled hands were busy
Especially for a library that is only open four hours per day!
Recipe book for a single plum, floating in perfume, served in a man's hat?
* pulls out glasses *
It’s partially because of this episode that I’m finally taking a long dreamed of trip to the sacred soap forests next year
Hello chief. Lets talk, why not?
I can still hear the numbers slowly being punched in with the delays 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This episode has some all time great Homer line deliveries. This and “that was fast” are both so funny.

Yes, I'm interested in distributing Mr. Sparkle in my prefecture.
No, it's not Baboon County, USA.
Just watched this one yesterday. So many great lines!
He should have smashed the keypad with his palm to obtain his special dialing wand.
So weird, I’m reading this in Sapporo, Hokkaido
Oh, herrow, American investor.
THIS IS NO PLACE FOR LOAFERS!
This is one of my personal favorites

Hello, chief. Let's talk. Why not?
Answer question, hundred percent!
Meesta spako!... washooooo!
I quote this entirely too much
I always enjoy how satisfied Homer is after the call 😂
I spent far too many years of my childhood thinking "Mushi-Mushi" was how you greeted someone in Japanese.
“Moshi moshi” is a greeting when answering the phone. It doesn’t translate to “hello,” but it’s a functional equivalent.
Ahoy-hoy?
Yeah, a more literal translation would be "can you hear me?", or "is anyone listening?" Kind of like if you're using a radio.

is that from the fucking metro poisoning cult anime?
That's like saying "bug bug", and now I've used up 5% of my knowledge of Japanese.
oh man, I would kill for a "Champions of Winning" shirt
a Japan man with large teeth, tiny eyes, and somehow looks more yellow than the Simpsons
