Burns commonly refers to deceased persons as if they were alive, including Al Jolson, [70] Tallulah Bankhead, Louise Brooks, [71] Honus Wagner, Cap Anson, and Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown. [72] That night, Homer's expressing his annoyance with no one believing his story and the subsequent ridicule to Marge, who ultimately admits she doesn't believe him either. She begs him to just leave it be, but Homer refuses to share a bed with someone who thinks he's crazy. He's joined downstairs in the kitchen by Bart who reveals he believes Homer's story, and the two hatch a plan to return to the woods the following Friday to try to capture the alien on film. Mr. Burns is a member of various organizations. In his early years, while he was a college student at Yale University, he was a member of the Skull and Bones society. During World War II, Burns became a member of the Flying Hellfish squad, a group of soldiers who entered into a tontine regarding the ownership of German artwork. Burns was a member of the Stonecutters until it disbanded, at which time he joined the secret society that succeeded it: The Ancient Mystic Society of No Homers (One source of dislike of Burns for the "Stonecutters" is that despite his wealth and greed, he is outranked by Lenny). He is currently the head of the Springfield Republican Party and once headed a short-lived religion. He is also a member of the "Excludes Club", the Springfield Golf and Country Club, and the National Rifle Association. He holds a chair (a demonic throne with snarling dogs chained to it) at Springfield University and controls an anti-democratic paramilitary force in Latin America. Mr. Burns' great-great-grandmother's sister-in-law's brother's fourth great-grandson is Homer Simpson.Fake Crossover: With The X-Files. Unlike the debacle that happened with The Critic, Matt Groening's name was in the credits and he actually was cool with having The X-Files cross over to his show, since it wasn't a 20-minute advertisement for the show. Whether or not this episode can be considered canon to The X-Files (albeit taking place much earlier in its timeline) depends on how you interpret a line by Mulder a year earlier, describing a character played by the legendarily odd-looking Michael Berryman as "Homer Simpson's evil twin." Spiteful Suicide: Kent reports, as a "lighter" aside in his news, the article of a man who spent several years in a coma. After the man wakes up, he asks if Cher and Sonny still have their show, and when Kent answers that they don't but Cher now has won an award and Sonny is a politician, the man simply says "good night" and dies. Burns tried to run for Governor until Marge ruined his chances by serving a three-eyed fish (an example of the adverse effects of the nuclear plant) for dinner in front of the media. In the end, he echoes Charles Foster Kane by crying out his name in rage and vows for the rest of his life to make Homer Simpson's life miserable. [111]

Even with such exceptional guests, the weight of humor still falls on the main characters of the series, being almost anecdotal the appearance of the agents, which anyway made this episode a much more memorable one. Mr. Burns' investment portfolio includes long-defunct shares in "Confederated Slave Holdings, Trans-Atlantic Zeppelin, Amalgamated Spats, Congreve's Inflammable Powders, U.S. Hay", and an "up-and-coming Baltimore Opera Hat Company". [4] In " When Flanders Failed", it is revealed that Mr. Burns is left-handed. However, he can sometimes be seen writing with his right hand. He could possibly be ambidextrous (can use both hands for tasks). Lisa: It's just that the people who claim they've seen aliens are always pathetic low-lifes with boring jobs (Lisa notably widens her eyes for a split second, then adds) Oh, and you, Dad. (laughs nervously) Aside from his main residence, he also has a summer retreat, which ended up being squatted in by the Simpson family as part of a movie. [105] He also owns a mansion on Lengthy Island.He once broke all his bones after falling from his office window and being crushed by his stuffed polar bear during a fight between Smithers and Homer. [21] On rare occasions, he has displayed great strength and skill, such as when he managed to single-handily capture the Loch Ness Monster (though it was never explained how he did so or seen on-screen) [91] and when he rescued his girlfriend, Gloria Jailbird, from a burning building (although she wound up carrying him out of the blaze). [17] Career [ ] Mr. Burns is also Lord Montymort, who is based on Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter book and film series. He captures young wizards and witches to takes their powers away.

Crop Circles: Homer runs through a field of crop, screaming "Yahhh!" and creating the pattern Yahhh!, in crop circle fashion.Affectionate Parody: Of The X-Files. Both Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny Special Guest-starred in the roles of their famous characters. At Burns' Yale University reunion, he had an affair with the daughter of an old flame named Lily Bancroft. She would later bear his long-lost child, Larry Burns, who was given up for adoption and would later enter Burns' life briefly. [12] Homer: I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, the bus would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

Burns appears to be unaware of 20th century political and private developments, such as Fidel Castro becoming President of Cuba, [34] Siam becoming Thailand, [39] India gaining its independence from the British Empire, New Mexico becoming a state, women being granted independence rights, [56] the Wall Street Crash of 1929 (with him also blaming Smithers for not warning him about the crash despite the fact that, as Smithers pointed out, the event in question occurred 25 years before he was even born and thus was in absolutely no position to warn him of the event), [4] Idlewild Airport becoming JFK Airport, [16] the extinction of the dodo, [21] confusing The Ramones with The Rolling Stones, [9] and the occurrence of the 1939 World's Fair. [69] Despite serving in World War II, he was unaware (or had forgotten) that Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, prompting World War I. He also was shown to be unaware of more contemporary developments, such as the musicals "Cats" and "The King and I" (where he sarcastically suggested that Smithers try making musicals relating to the common housecat and the King of Siam regarding his learning that Smithers did a musical based on Malibu Stacy). [56] Humorously, he has also asked a vending machine for taffy, thinking its like a candy shop. Burns has been engaged at least three times: A woman named Gertrude who died of loneliness and rabies, [106] to Jacqueline Bouvier, [107] and to a policewoman named Gloria Jailbird. [17] Though when he tells Homer about Gertrude, he says that he was her fiancé, but he implies that they were married, as he says he missed their wedding, their honeymoon, and their divorce due to working so hard. He was once involved with a fellow student during his time at Yale University named Mimsy Bancroft, and then later had an affair with her daughter, Lily. [12] He once had an affair with Countess von Zeppelin, as he slept with her one time. [108] He also once in love with Marge, and pursued a relationship with her, but stopped once he discovered that Marge was married. Agnes Skinner revealed that she once had an affair with Mr. Burns during the Great Depression ("let him feel me up"). [109] Burns once caught the attention of Selma when she discovers that Burns is single. [110] Family [ ]

Contents

Mr. Burns appears in The Simpsons: Bart & the Beanstalk as two characters. He first appears as "Monty the Miser", who provides Bart with both magic beans and a slingshot in exchange for the cow (the latter mostly because Bart refused the magic beans), thus having him set the plot forward. He later appears as the boss of the second level, as a cloud in Mr. Burns' likeness. In his cabinet, he has a secret safe that is hidden underneath a painting that looks almost alike A Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Manet, except the waitress has Burns' head. Inside of the safe, Burns hides his Last Will and a human heart in a jar. Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Not in the actual episode, but the original script ended with the alien's true identity unrevealed, implying Homer really did encounter one. Dark Lord on Life Support: The Reveal of who the alien is: it's Burns, who undergoes a weekly treatment to stay alive another week and wanders around high from the industrial-sized dose of painkillers he receives as part of it.
