Dive into Grandpa Simpson’s legendary “onion belt” story — a classic example of rambling humor in true Simpsons-style. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wandered off on a tangent, this video turns an ordinary yarn into comedy gold.
In this clip: Grandpa spins a tale about onions strapped to his belt — setting up a metaphor that goes absolutely nowhere. It’s the perfect showcase of how tangential humor works when done right.
Why watch?
A prime exhibit of The Simpsons’ iconic storytelling.
A reminder that sometimes, the funniest bits aren’t the point — they’re just fun.
Great for workshops on story structure (or delightful anti-structure 😉).
