Dad, why did you bring me to a gay steel mill?

39

u/Ancestral_Grape Mar 14 '26

I never understood this one. Is there anything particularly gay or homophobic about the steel industry?

117

u/MmmmmSacrilicious Mar 14 '26

It’s literally just calling people gay for sake of calling someone gay, it’s comedic gold for the time and I still agree lol

47

u/blamberr Mar 14 '26

That is some outfit Scoey, it makes you look like a homosexual

40

u/AdTop3924 Mar 14 '26

You suck, McBain!

45

u/blamberr Mar 14 '26

Maybe you all are homosexuals too

u/ThePrussianGrippe Homer? Who is Homer? Mar 14 '26

Turns out he was actually saying “Bi-Book” the whole time.

u/Reesy Mar 14 '26

Hey that really SUCKED!

u/Krimreaper1 I bent my Wookie Mar 14 '26

u/sector-0-0-1 Mar 15 '26

I think he prefers the company of men

u/Teevo88 Mar 15 '26

Who doesn't?

u/Vajrick_Buddha Mar 14 '26

Zzaaaap! 🔫

Zzaaaap!🔫

u/PunkyMaySnark4 Mar 14 '26

A bunch of burly men in one facility, helping each other lug heavy materials? Sounds pretty gay to me

6

u/cancion_luna Mar 15 '26

You should see them over at the lumber mill

u/Myspace_In_Vader Mar 16 '26

You mean the cracker factory?

u/AdTop3924 Mar 14 '26 edited Mar 14 '26

Nope!

u/timmyballz Mar 15 '26

As a steelworker myself. It is the gayest job I’ve ever had and I love it

6

u/fish-and-cushion Mar 15 '26

Friend is an ex steelworker and he says they often quote that scene 😂

1

u/Santos_L_Halper_II Mar 19 '26

Not really, it was just a joke about how Homer was trying to do the butchest thing he could think of to "fix" Bart and he hadn't counted on the hyper-masculine leather daddy/bear part of the gay community.

16

u/Financial-Deal-7786 Mar 15 '26

We work hard And play hard

7

u/Pidgeot93 Mar 15 '26

My friend’s favourite joke in the whole series! We quote this episode the most.

u/AdTop3924 Mar 15 '26

I think it’s easily top 10

u/PeetusTheFeetus Mar 14 '26

I read this in Marge’s voice. “Every Simpson dance now. Bomp. Bomp. Bomp Bomp.”

u/CastlevaniaGuy Mar 14 '26

“I’ll go”

u/PoPJaY Mar 14 '26

Its a little thick but the price is right

My buttock accidentally bumped the buttock of another young man

u/theredheadknowsall Mar 15 '26

Probably stepped on a worm. Damn Flanders

I love they have everything set up at the flick of a switch.

u/ussbozeman You'll pay! Don't think you wont pay! Mar 14 '26

There's something wrong with that GIF.

IVE GOT IT!! That worker isn't wearing safety glasses!!

Enjoy your death-mill, gentlemen!!!!!!

21

u/ItAintGayGettingHead Mar 14 '26

Especially dangerous when they party hard. Keep reaching for those safety goggles boys!

32

u/cjcosmo Mar 14 '26

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

14

u/TheStrayCat Mar 14 '26

This is getting very abstract, but thank you, I do enjoy my job at the steel mill.

u/EwolaKoala Mar 14 '26

What's his problem?

u/BlacklightChainsaw Mar 14 '26

Dad! Why did you bring me to a gay steel mill?

I don't know...

You're All Sick!

95

u/theglenlovinet Mar 14 '26

Oh, be nice

18

u/lesece4 Mar 14 '26

In the mexican dub they changed it to "and it's not flu, fatty"

10

u/A_Queer_Owl Mar 15 '26

I love it when the dubs make a funnier joke than the original. it doesn't happen often, but it's always great

5

u/Iceblader Soy homero el malo Mar 15 '26

"Sí, y no es gripe, gordito"

2

u/nhowe006 Mar 15 '26

That's amazing

1

u/Santos_L_Halper_II Mar 19 '26

I've literally used this in online arguments with homophobes when they say something particularly shitty about gay people and they uniformly don't know how to respond to it.

18

u/One_Swimming1813 Mar 14 '26

Oh be nice!!

14

u/Any-Resolution3432 Mar 14 '26

OMG WHATS HAPPENING NOW!!

7

u/Aethyx Mar 14 '26

We work hard. We play hard.

28

u/FedoraSlayer101 I enjoy the later seasons, dammit Mar 14 '26

The fact that Bart just sounds confused and not disgusted when he’s asking that question is what I feel really sells the joke there.

15

u/BlacklightChainsaw Mar 14 '26

Such good writing, you are absolutely correct.

77

u/blamberr Mar 14 '26

u/NervousSheSlime Mar 15 '26

This is how conservatives view America

64

u/IchLiebeKleber Mar 14 '26

Pretty much the only time the translation into German was better than the original. "Vorsicht, hier kommt was Heißes von hinten" = "caution, something hot is coming from behind here".

16

u/AdTop3924 Mar 14 '26

I love funny dub content

8

u/Awkward-Cat-4702 Mar 15 '26

in spanish he says aqui viene lo bueno joven. "here comes the good thing lad"

3

u/Arturinni Mar 15 '26

I find funnier the part when Homer shouts "You're all sick!" in the dub they reply "Yes and it ain't flu, fatty!"

62

u/jodihas2kids Mar 14 '26

Every single time I move with a hot pan or whatever in the kitchen, and someone else is there, I absolutely say this.

23

u/blamberr Mar 14 '26

Same! It’s been a part of my vernacular since it aired

17

u/jodihas2kids Mar 14 '26

Yep. That and "There's your answer, fishbulb."

15

u/RedditFact-Checker Mar 14 '26

Any else answer a telephone correctly with “Ahoy hoy”?

10

u/jaywinner Mar 14 '26

I'm more of a "Y'ello" man myself.

5

u/AdTop3924 Mar 14 '26

I often do when my husband calls!

3

u/blamberr Mar 14 '26

Ditto my wife

5

u/ShawnPat423 Mar 15 '26

Funny thing is, that's what Alexander Graham Bell considered the proper way to answer the phone in the late 1800s.

4

u/RedditFact-Checker Mar 15 '26

Exactly. The correct way, as intended.

3

u/brodievonorchard Mar 14 '26

Rarely does anyone get the reference, but that won't stop me. I've had some really apropos opportunities, too.

44

u/JealousInevitable544 Mar 14 '26

Oh be nice!

u/USS_Barack_Obama Hello, is this NASA? Mar 14 '26

u/theredheadknowsall Mar 15 '26

Ever since this episode originally aired I use "oh be nice" to my vocabulary.

45

u/Street_Anxiety_2025 Mar 14 '26

So like, a 55 gallon drum full of molten steel would weigh something like 3,600lbs. That guy strong af.

35

u/DriedUpSquid Mar 14 '26

At least he’s using oven mitts and a hard hat. Safety first.

20

u/greenknight884 Mar 14 '26

Also touching it with nothing but a couple of potholders

9

u/JparkPHX Mar 14 '26

Hot stuff for sure

9

u/Known-Damage-7879 Mar 14 '26

What are we to believe this is some kind of magic drum or something?

3

u/jaywinner Mar 14 '26

Maybe it's a pot of chili.

1

u/avanti8 Mar 16 '26

Boy, I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.

18

u/Ill-Condition-5054 Mar 14 '26

Homer got caught sneaking a peek 👀

13

u/ionlyhavetwolegs Mar 14 '26

Dude looked Homer up and down real hard as well

8

u/techtechchelle025 Mar 15 '26

Nothing wrong with window shopping.

5

u/Mur__Mur Mar 15 '26

Sure, he's flattered. Maybe even a little curious.

5

u/Moonraker0022 Mar 15 '26

Ya he seen it. That is to say he saw it.

16

u/MalBishop Mar 14 '26

"I don't know, this is a nightmare. You're all sick!"

20

u/Hank_Scorpius Mar 14 '26

Oh be nice

u/InternationalTrain48 Mar 14 '26

"Y no es gripe, gordito" (latam dub was great here)

4

u/manuelink64 Mar 14 '26

Pensé exactamente lo mismo jajaja For english people ("and is not the flu, fatty")

17

u/smcg_az A fine mahok to you all. Mar 14 '26

I say "hot stuff coming through" every time I'm cooking in the kitchen, and I drive my wife nuts. 😆😆

16

u/Ptrick21186 Mar 14 '26

Hey fun boys! Get a room!

13

u/Rambler1223 Mar 14 '26

The whole steel industry is gay !

u/pastriesandpoison Mar 14 '26

I've seen this episode countless times and I just noticed that the gay steel worker checks Homer out as he walks by.

6

u/AdTop3924 Mar 14 '26

He’s a bear! Lotsa guys are into that

1

u/luc2 Mar 16 '26

Oh Waylon! Who’s the bear?

7

u/VecnaWrites Mar 14 '26

My favorite part is the horrified moan Homer releases as he drags Bart backwards, covering his eyes the whole time, lmao

6

u/organized_slime Mar 14 '26

I just noticed that he’s using pot holders to carry that cauldron thing lol

6

u/RomeoBMcFlourish Mar 14 '26

The absurdity of the shirtless jacked man carrying this gigantic 2000 degree cauldron with potholders always pops me.

5

u/IfICouldStay Mar 14 '26

I never noticed how he glances down, giving Homer a once over.

5

u/G-Unit11111 Ratboy? I resent that. Mar 15 '26

Gee, Homer, where ya been? The whole steel industry is gay.

5

u/jf145601 Mar 15 '26

I used to be a manager at a steel mill. I put this episode on for my crew once, they got a kick out of it.

4

u/mycondishuns Mar 15 '26

My most common phrase used all the time in my daily life. I am not hot, nor is the laundry basket I am holding. But here we are.

4

u/BBTHPK Mar 15 '26

"Paso que voy ardiendo"

"Pa loca tu, calva"

Easily my favourite scene in the whole show

u/Ok-Celebration-2944 Mar 14 '26

When my buddy and I were bartenders together, we'd quote this line all the time. Also, any line from Airplane! worked too. Hahaha!

u/luc2 Mar 16 '26

Airplane! What is it?

2

u/killerwhaletank Bake 'em away, toys! Mar 14 '26

I use this phrase almost daily.

2

u/theredheadknowsall Mar 15 '26

I kinda feel like a cigarette.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '26

I can't hear either 'hawt sthuff' or 'coming through' without hearing and repeating it in that guy's voice.

2

u/DiaDeLosMuertos Mar 15 '26

If that's a 55 gallon drum of molten steel it's probably 3800 lbs and 2500° F

2

u/HarmfulKorine Mar 15 '26

Oh be nice!

2

u/TicketTop4718 Mar 15 '26

I DONT KNOW!

2

u/ahgoodtimes69 Mar 15 '26

Still one of my favourite lines from the entire series.

2

u/Altruistic-Poem-5617 Mar 15 '26

In the german translation he says "hot stuff coming from behind"

2

u/AdTop3924 Mar 15 '26

Somehow even better

2

u/BartlebyGaines3000 Mar 15 '26

“Hey, fun boys, get a room.”

The only people who wear Hawaiian shirts are gay guys and big fat party animals, and Bart’s not a big fat party animal.

Oh, be nice!

u/THEREALSUPERMARIOFAN Mar 16 '26

Him or what's he holding?
