Why did Bob's Burgers lie?>In popular culture, Thompson and Dundy's killing of Topsy has switched attribution, with false claims it was an anti-alternating current demonstration organized by Thomas Edison during the war of the currents. Edison was never at Luna Park and the electrocution of Topsy took place ten years after the end of the war of currents.
>>152956153Obviously it happened differently in the Burgerverse.Like how in our universe, Central Park could never be sold off. But in the Burgerverse it's a distinct possibility.
>>152956153It's not a lie, it's just perpetuating a falsehood that they just didn't verify.
>>152956153I kinda hate how they didn't mention he was from New Jersey.
>>152956153Least favorite episode from season 3 really.
>bob's burger is still on hiatus
>>152956533>for another entire month
>>152956504Anchored only by the line of "they'll go aww topsy at my autopsy!" which is not that good of a line.
>>152956187no they are lying to mei know it
>>152956651>I know when I'm being lied to Bob!>it's like when I look in the mirror and say "everything is gonna be ok".
>>152956316But there's a silver lining because despite the Thomas Edison impersonator saying he works down at the "science museum" and not the Thomas Edison musuem we can still fudge the numbers and finally pinpoint Seymour's bay as being in Middlesex County.Probably something we could already assume but still, feels good to feel more confident about it.

>>152957229Well to be fair they only shat on Edison and didn't glaze Telsa.
>>152956153interesting. in archer there's also a mention of edison electrocuting an elephant. obviously this is a personal agenda pushed by john h. benjamin.
Edison wasn't involved in Topsy's execution, but he and his lab did electrocute a bunch of dogs as part of a study of electrocution's potential usage in animal euthanasia.
>>152958019John H. Benjamin of course being H. Jon Benjamin's evil twin from the mirror universe.
>>152956788Something like The Amboys?
>>152956153Man I can't believe they would just kill Tina like that.Though good choice to instantly bring her back as a zombie, really made that zombie fetish pay off.
>>152959626What an absolute baddie
>>152958321I think that makes King's head island Staten island.
>>152956153because the power company was still named Edison even though he'd lost his stake in it, because the film company that recorded the elephant being electrocuted and sold access to that recording did so under Edison's name (the Edison Film Company) and under his financial control, and because it's exactly the kind of bullshit self-promotional stunt he would have organized if he'd still been in the electricity game; the whole reason the journal Science exists today is that Edison started it as a clandestine way of self-promoting his own inventions and interests, the man was absolutely shameless and a total cuntTopsy would probably not be left alive after killing a spectator today either, we just wouldn't film the death (and the ASPCA did indeed prevent the sale of tickets, but not the spectacle being used to draw the public into the park where it happened)
It's one of those faux-facts that reddit loves to spew, another example >modern sitcom laugh tracks were recorded in the 50s and you're hearing DEAD PEOPLE OOOOOOHHH SAVE ME NIGGERMANIn reality, they're referring to a laugh track machine that's been out of use since the 1970s. No one would be stupid enough to pass off 1950s recordings of people laughing as "a live studio audience"
>>152956153>lieBeing incorrect is not the same as lying.Lying is when you intentionally say something that's incorrect, hoping to be believed.Also, usually when you hear someone accuse people of lying, it's a safe bet that the accuser lies all the time. Honest people tend not to use that word. I don't know why this is, but there you go.
>>152956504>it's a science fair episode
>>152960755they're lyingthe are lying to hurt me
>>152960791Is it working?
>>152960769>it's a diorama competition but they call it a science fair episode
It also said that Edison invented the lightbulb when he did no such thing. I think I've seen maybe one show call out Edison as being the patent stealing cunt he was.
>>152956153Did it? They only source for Edison electrocuting Topsy is Louise. The guy got upset about her bringing it up but he didn't confirm that it happened
>>152959626>>152959699>tfw everything Tina does in the past gets cuter and cuter the more time passes
>>152961121>it's a science fair that's actually about dioramas but in actuality it's about a musical number which is essentially a public callout of Thomas Edison that ultimately serves to ragebait the substitute science teacher who is the judge of the science fair episode
>>152956153Who cares fuck Edison, he stole Homer’s Electric hammer idea.
Rorschach test time
>>152963899
>>152963913Now, what do you think is happening?
>>152956153At least it's not that Amelia Earhart Emmy bait episode
>>152963968Amazing Rudy? More like vu-dese amazing balls with your sadsack divorced child horseshit ya fuckers.
Pokachu just recently did ana AMAZING piece with Tammy and Tina where Tammy is a full brunette which umm UNFF(I like blonde Tammy but brunette Tammy just hits different ;3) and Tina jad this exact schnozz.>>152959626
>>152964078Oh fuck that episode was such a boring slog. Classic Simpsons really was exceptional at the ability to pull off an entertaining dramatic episode in an animated sitcom.
>>152964365The Simpsons understand that if you're gonna jerk people off then you should at least finish.What does Amazing Rudy do? What does Amelian or some like it bot do?>Here's troubled Tina>Here's troubled Louise>Here's troubled Rudy>they're all lowkey depressed but they'll muscle through it>the end
>>152956504It's not that funny but the song is nice.
>>152964529The song is nice but that makes me hate the episode even more. They could've saved that song for a proper episode centered a Gene musical where they could have built an entire opera around the torrid of Thomas Edison and a killer elephant and not have to retroactive build a third tier Louise episode.
>>152963899>>152963913>>152963936
>>152956153Because Edison was a asshole in life, and he got away with being one because everyone stuck with "HE MADE ZE LIGHT BOOLB". He's the reason why Commifornia and Hollywood exists. Without exaggeration.
>>152960558/thread
>>152956153So you saying Thomas and Topsy weren't actually in love?
>>152956168Strangely how there's rich people when Money clearly doesn't matter in the BurgerVerse.
>BawwwwbbbbBBBBYYYY!
>>152956153>>152957229>>152957333>>152958141>>152960558Reminder Edison was the real genius of American invention and Tesla was a semi-decent engineer propped up to support anti-American pro-immigrant agendas. Tesla was so much of an asshole he'd swagger into restaurants and demand to eat for free because of his "reputation." Meanwhile Edison paid anyone who was smart enough to sign a contract with him fair and square every time, just not shit for brains eastern euro subhuman pigs like Tesla.>>152965728>He's the reason why Commifornia and Hollywood exists. Without exaggeration.WRONG. It's actually because Jews like the WARNERS and GOWDIN AND MAYER stole his technology and ran away to California where it was harder to enforce the patent laws
>>152966272Money already doesn't matter to rich people. It's investments that matter. Everything else is just showing off that wealth and status.
>>152967017That's an admirable attempt at bait anon. You really tried hard there.>Erm, ACTUALLY, Edison was BASEDWhat next, Hitler actually didn't do anything wrong at all again?
>>152967017>pro-immigrantTesla supported the USSR but sure that's what's wrong with him you collectivist faggot.>>152967027Fuck you too.
>>152967020That doesn't explain why Bob and his family aren't homeless tho.
>>152964318
>>152967273>do it
