Pop! Vinyl - The Simpsons - Glowing Mr. Burns 1162

Product Information

If we carry on, we find out that Homer is also Burns' grandmother's sister-in-law (who is also her second cousin)'s grandmother's brother's fourth great-grandson.

Comedian and voice actor Christopher Collins originated the voice of Mr. Burns in the first-season episodes “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", “The Telltale Head", “Homer’s Odyssey", and “There's No Disgrace Like Home”. Mr. Burns seems to have an affinity with dogs. At least, that’s the way it seems when he sets his hounds on anybody who draws too near his mansion. But it’s clear he doesn’t have a soft spot for canines when a chic new tuxedo is up for grabs.In Season 2, the writers started to enjoy writing about Smithers and Burns' relationship, and they often pitched episodes with them as the focus, but many never came to fruition. Midway Arcade: Death | Demons | Ghosts (Gauntlet) | Manti Leader | Monsters | Mukor | Sorcerers | Thief Burns abandoned Bobo, a teddy bear and the symbol of his lost youth, to live with a twisted billionaire, [4] who was his grandfather Wainwright Montgomery Burns, who owned the Springfield Power Works, where laborers split atoms by hitting anvils with sledgehammers. [15] Burns amused himself by injuring hapless immigrant laborers. [23] Charles Montgomery Burns was born to Clifford Burns and Daphne Charle (hence the name Charles), Clifford Burns was born to Wainwright Montgomery Burns and Evelyn Graycomb. Evelyn Graycomb was born to Otto Graycomb and Lolly Dubois. Lolly Dubois was born to Lance Dubois and Clarice Stemple. Clarice Stemple is the sister of Gaylord Stemple. Gaylord Stemple married Trixie Simpson. Trixie Simpson is the Granddaughter of Sven Simpson. Sven Simpson is the great, great, great, great, great Grandfather of Homer Simpson.

Burns used to pay his employees a salary less than a worker in the United States can normally earn (which is illegal), but the only employee Burns pays a normal salary is Smithers. This attitude entitles Burns to deduct his employees' wages as much as he likes, with Smithers being the only exception. The Burns family has deep roots in the United States, with Montgomery Burns' great-grandfather Franklin Jefferson Burns throwing boxes of tea overboard in the Boston Tea Party. [5] His age and time of birth is contradictory. He said he was 81 in the 1990s [6] and said his age was a four-digit number in the 2000s [7] and 2010s. [8] Others in the 1990s and 2000s knew his age as 104. [9] [10] [11] He once gave his place of birth as Pangaea. [12] Burns was either the youngest of his siblings which he outlived, [13] or the older brother of George Burns. [4] When the 108-year-old Cornelius Chapman died in 2000, Burns officially became Springfield's oldest living resident. [14] Once Homer comes around and helps Ned, Mr. Burns plops a pile of can openers on the counter and buys the left-hand “roadster in the corner”, confirming that the Leftorium is saved!. Animator David Silverman parodied Burns's appearance on Fox founder Barry Diller, and modeled his body on a praying mantis. The idea of Burns reading employee names off cards in "There's No Disgrace Like Home" came from an article about Ronald Reagan that writer Al Jean had read. In some episodes, parallels have been drawn between Burns and moguls such as Howard Hughes and, more frequently, fictional character Charles Foster Kane from Citizen Kane. Writer George Meyer lifted Burns' "Excellent!" hand gesture from his former Saturday Night Live colleague Jim Downey.

Mr. Burns was originally voiced by actor Christopher Collins in the episodes " Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire," " Homer's Odyssey," " There's No Disgrace Like Home," and " The Telltale Head". [116] He was soon replaced by Harry Shearer because Sam Simon found Collins "difficult to work with." Additionally, Christopher Collins died on June 12, 1994. Shearer has voiced the character ever since. He modeled the voice on Lionel Barrymore and Ronald Reagan. Shearer is also the voice of Smithers and is able to perform dialogue between the two characters in one take. Shearer said that Mr. Burns is the most difficult character for him to voice because it is rough on his vocal cords and he often needs to drink tea and honey to soothe his voice. [117] He describes Mr. Burns as his favorite character, saying he "like[s] Mr. Burns because he is pure evil. A lot of evil people make the mistake of diluting it. Never adulterate your evil." As evidenced by his role in the series, Burns has owned or co-owned a number of business ventures and companies in Springfield, including the Monty Burns Casino (later demolished), [16] the Little Lisa Recycling Plant, [4] the Burns Slant Drilling Co., [96] Burns Media, [25] the electric company, the water works and even a hotel on Baltic Avenue. [20] He also operated the Burns Germ Warfare Laboratory (which was destroyed by Mona Simpson and a group of protesters).
