This is the luckiest Moleman has ever been. All that broke of his were his glasses when one guy's teeth exploded and another guy's head exploded

This was from the 5th series episode 'Burns' Heir'. the execs at THX loved this spoof so much that it was made into a trailer sting but in widescreen format, the pre-animation was done at Film Roman and it was re-animated by Anivision of Korea. The one with the URL was a 1996 re-release in Dolby Digital, DTS and SDDS.

Man it would be amazing to have classic Simpsons with a new scan from film instead of the upscaled 1990s video masters. Unless the film masters no longer exist or are so disorganized that they can't easily be used, it's amazing that Disney hasn't bothered to do this when they spend big money on restorations of all the insipid filled they made. Even in the best case scenario it would be a big job because all the editing and 60i video effects would have to be redone which I guess why it hasn't happened.

THX is a trademark of Lucasfilm Ltd. The Simpsons is from 20th Century-Fox Television.

What makes this better is that THX employees absolutely loved this gag when it originally came out, and even requested Matt Groening to re-do the scene in widescreen so it can be used in actual movie trailers (which he did).

“The audience is now deaf!”

God this is so accurate. I swear they made the THX thing to make you go deaf even on mute it’s loud.

That was one of the best sounds of growing up, it let you know you were in for a real treat.

The guy's head exploding terrified me as a kid.

The THX logo used to scare the daylights out of me as a kid.

0:17 now THAT'S what I call a quality sound system.

I miss the old THX opening. Good times 😄 😄

The only thing that rivals this is the joke they made in Tiny Toons Adventures where everyone was blown away out of their seats while the tagline read ' the audience are now deaf"

The audience is now deaf!

@@CJBStudios That’s definitely something interesting to note. The DVD commentary for the episode where this originated from claimed directly from David himself that he came up with that concept, but the THX Demo discs say that Matt came up with the concept. Maybe both of them came up with the concept? Unless, maybe, that’s not David talking in the commentary I got my source from. I sourced my fact here from the “Extracted Audio Channels” video that Han & Leia oldest son uploaded a few years ago, it dubbed this commentary as the “David Mirkin Commentary” so that’s probably why I claimed it was David’s idea.

interesting to see classic animation Simpsons on film, rather than the standard def video transfer the show has been using for all releases since its been broadcast. I did read somewhere the show was shot on film, but edited and mastered on tape, maybe in the future they'll do a proper rescan of the original elements rather than the upscales that are currently out there.

Because of this clip, teenage me would scream "turn it! up turn it upppp!" every time the TDX promo was played in movies!
