  Nelson got the very first Simpsons History and I was still figuring out how to research and organize them, so I think he deserves a second video. Also, we can never have enough Nelson content out there 😛

  "Oh for god's sake, I can see why he left..." is one of my absolute favourite later-season Marge lines, it's so weirdly out-of-character, but I think that makes it even funnier.

  We need when Homer went bald for a Simpsons Mysteries. It bothers me so goddamn much. In Lisa’s Sax, Homer is completely bald, but even in 1 year flashbacks, we see that Homer still has the tiniest bit of hair. In Barthood. Lisa is five, and Homer still has a lot of hair. Contrasting Lisa’s 3 and 3 8ths age in Lisa’s Sax, I’m probably going into this too much lol. Edit: holy crap hopefully Jims sees this, it has more likes than his comment lol.

  The obvious solution is to make the very tall man Nelson’s new father figure. <br><br>1. He has a car so he has some sort of financial stability even if it is quite small <br>2. He showed some willingness to reason with Nelson about why him being laughed at was mean spirited. However upon Nelson failing to understand his actions have consequences<br>3. He then shows Nelson some discipline which is sometimes necessary as a father figure <br>4. And finally he’s very tall so Mrs. Muntz would probably go for him. <br><br>It’s the obvious and best thing for Nelson.

  The Nelson-Moe duo idea is even better the more I think about it. <br>Moe is pragmatic and persuasive enough to get on Nelson’s good side and be a positive influence. But due to his slimy and violent side, he could never really stop Nelson as a bully or be a perfect father.<br>They both can change each other in interesting ways while still retaining the characters core struggle for episodic storytelling.

  &quot;The Many Dads of Nelson Muntz&quot; sounds like a a really depressing John Cassavetes movie.

  Whenever The Simpsons decides it&apos;s time to start wrapping up the show and everyone&apos;s storylines, I think they should commit to Moe adopting Nelson. With this and Maya&apos;s return, it&apos;d feel like a pretty satisfactory ending.

  I feel like there&apos;s a story in addressing the two clearly different Nelson&apos;s Dad characters - Soccer dad and Abandonment dad. Maybe his mum didn&apos;t know for sure which of these similar-looking men she slept with was actually the father and told them both they were at different (or the same) times to get support raising him, financial or otherwise, and during his early years he saw these men interchangeably/simultaneously as his dad. Maybe Abandonment dad stuck around more permanently but she continued and on-again/off-again thing with Soccer dad so he was around sporadically even after AD left. Maybe they had a polyamory thing going on for a while that didn&apos;t work out. Because you know what&apos;s more tragic than Nelson&apos;s dad leaving? Nelson having two dads who are equally important to him BOTH leaving in different ways.

  That corkboard of father figures is something else. The thought of Hank Scorpio as a mentor to Nelson makes me sad we never got that episode.

  Crazy how they kept flip-flopping on the design of his dad, the fact that each one has its own kind of characterisation too. It&apos;s so consistently inconsistent.

  We&apos;ve also seen Moe be a good father-figue/ good with kids from when he babysat Maggie. <br>If the writers actually wanted to give Nelson some happiness, Moe as a father figure is perfect

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LPBSlALZuc&amp;t=306">5:06</a> Nelson&apos;s dad really did go out for space cigarettes but he was run aground by an alien fleet and abducted for a human zoo.
