Josh Weinstein celebrated the 25th anniversary of an iconic Simpsons episode on Twitter this week. The writer pointed out his favorite bit from “Mountain of Madness.” The 12th episode of eighth season of the show saw Homer get trapped in a cabin with Mr. Burns. It’s a classic snow-in situation with both men at each other’s throats as hypothermia and hunger set in. But, that’s not the source of Weinstein’s laughs here. Basically, Dan Castellaneta did an amazing job initiating an unhinged version of John Muir on the TV. Marge hears the rambling and quickly backs out of the room and shuts the door. Older episodes of The Simpsons are chock-full of this stuff. People on Twitter seemed to get a kick out of this post and love when creative teams highlight these small moments that might go unnoticed otherwise. Check out the Twitter post for yourself down below.
Using the 25th anniversary of Mountain of Madness to replay one of my favorite underrated things: Dan Castellaneta’s John Muir impression. He started with a fairly accurate one and we told him to make it “older” and “more incomprehensible"Also, I like how Marge backs out asap pic.twitter.com/ej8NH9NU1D
