  Going into this project, I severely underestimated how many Simpsons episodes Kent Brockman was in. Going over his satirical elements, personality stuff, and spotlight episodes made this surprisingly one of the longest Simpsons Histories videos.<br>(Also Season 13 is up next.)

  I have just noticed how Kent may be the only Simpsons character that we usually see front-facing but doesn&apos;t look cursed at all. That&apos;s peak character design.

  Kent is honestly one of those characters that I tend to forget about until he&apos;s actually on the screen. He really is a surprisingly prevalent character throughout the show&apos;s run though.

  Here&apos;s the weirdest thing about Kent Brockman: he&apos;s the only Simpsons character that looks LESS weird when facing straight ahead.

  Without knowing precisely what TheRealJims is, would you say it’s time for his viewers to crack each other’s heads open and feast on the goo inside?

  I&apos;m amazed they never made use of Barney&apos;s helicopter license and had him get a job as an Eye in the Sky for the news, competing with Arnie. His sober years make him a very down to earth character that I think plays off the more sensational and jaded news crew.<br>Edit: I just realized, Arnie &amp; Barney, like it was meant to be

  Kent is great as a parody of small town local celebrities too, that was always my favorite aspect of his character. His super inflated sense of importance and sense of celebrity when no one outside Springfield likely even knows who he is. EVERY small and medium sized town or city has at least one or two of these people and the parody of that has always been hilarious to me lol.

  “And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.” Is an all timer Simpsons joke for me. It’s so genius.<br><br>Also, since I just rewatched the movie, I’m surprised they never did a Network parody with Kent Brockman (as far as I can remember).

  &quot;I&apos;ve said it before, and I&apos;ll say it again: Democracy simply doesn&apos;t work.&quot; One of my single favorite moments in the history of the show - possibly second only to Apu&apos;s rant about Johnny and the Cloneasuarus.

  The apology for “geezers in freezers” is probably my favorite Brockman line. Either that or “dozens of people are gunned down every day in Springfield, but until now none of them was important.”<br><br>I vote for an Arnie Pye history. I believe he first appeared in the Tracy Ullman shorts. Plus “I can’t see through metal, Kent” is a very underrated line.

  &quot;Kent beats Homer, but Willy beats Kent&quot;<br>We need a Simpsons power level analysis
