I love how the librarian immediately has the phone book for Hokkaido Japan ready for Homer

[gutz]

Had a similar experience when I called the Mitsubishi office in Japan after my local dealership in Greece screwed me over with a defective brand new car they refused to fix. "Mushi mushi" and me like "Hello, I am calling from Greece (I spoke English) they treated me like a customer this way and no joke, they brought a hell storm down. They got in touch with Holland who manufactured the car, then after 4 weeks in the shop with no response, got in touch with an inspector from England to go to Greece to see why the heads of Mitsubishi in Greece screwed us over. Hell of a scene when me and my dad walked in to the office and since we could speak perfect English to the UK inspector, the people in Greece could not keep up. In the end, it got fixed thanks to Japan. 20 years later, I still own that same car.

The way the librarian looks at Homer when he's dialing the number lol

[FPalace]

I always love it when Homer puts on those crescent moon glasses. 😂

[sithius]

Homer's smile after 'answer question 100% ' is absolute gold lmao.

[Ishbu]

Hello chief. Let's talk, why not

[mther_braned]

"Is this a local call"?

"Yeeee....yes" XD

I love how casually the Japanese guy just accepts that he is talking to Mr. Sparkle.

[zzman]

I don't know why, but the Japanese guy's "Hey Chief, lets talk, why not?" has always made me laugh. It feels like something he was taught in his third level english class back in high school and he's just remembered it twenty years later.

Corded phone.
Phonebook.
Library.

This clip is like a time capsule.

"Hello. Why am I Mr Sparkle?"

He could not have asked it in a better way.

[CaptLuser]

whenever my dad calls me i answer the phone 1 of 2 ways:
"moshi moshi" or "hello chief let's talk why not"

[ukevo]

Homer’s little “hmmm :)” at the end gets me every time

[tk]

i love how the librarian pulls out the phone book of a japanese region, like It was normal and he do that every day

[_paraluman]

I just realized that the number he dials has the same tune as a typical japanese school bell, its actually a great detail

[Siaynoq]

The weirdest part is where the librarian just quickly walks off like that. LOL

[biocapsule]

And surprisingly that "premium" did answer his question.

[realwizardry]

I love Homer's face and voice as he says "Why am I Mr. Sparkle?"

[paulgodfrey]

I love it how library guy checks out Homer is phoning Japan and then walks off, so he can't be implicated.

Good old classic Simpsons, they were so dense with jokes.
- Clerk immediately has the phonebook of Hokaido
- Is it a local call? - Yes
- Tedious typing the number with sounds of clerk's keyboard, funny look he gave to Homer, sounds of footsteps, all giving us a feeling that the number is far longer than it is
- Production track with perfectly arranged powdered detergent and ton of people supervising it
- This is Homer Simpson from America. Who may I say is speaking to me?
- One guy that speaks English has red glasses and a t-shirt saying Champions of winning superb
- Hello chief, let's talk why not - delivered in one straight line with some enthusiasm (I always die when I hear it)
- Hello, why am I mr Sparkle?
- You have many question Mr Sparkle, I send you premium, answer question 100%

9 jokes in 83 seconds. Most of them great.

How I miss the Simpsons.
