You don’t remember how brutally good the golden era episodes of The Simpson until someone comes along and makes a cool cosplay tribute to one of the most hilarious scenes of all seasons: when Mr. Burns said his legendary “I bring you love” dialogue.
On more than one occasion here we have analyzed the trajectory of The Simpsons and the first seasons, which gave us episodes that have not aged in a row and that are still just as fun as when they were originally broadcast.
In some cases it even ended up becoming a reflection of the popular culture of its times, which in turn ended up redefining more than one contemporary object. Such was the case of the second of the second season, which is titled Simpson and Delilah.
There, in that chapter Homer He ended up trying a new hair-growing treatment, Dimoxinil, which was actually a direct allusion to the real drug, Minoxidil.
Now we have to review another completely different story, which did not leave its mark like the case already mentioned, but which still ends up being one of the most beloved episodes: the one where the universe of the yellow family intersects with that of The Secret Files x.
In a dark, misty forest, a glowing, ghostly figure suddenly emerges. He advances through the trees, glowing neon green, with a high-pitched, distorted voice that repeats the same phrase over and over again: “I bring you love.”
This is the most memorable scene from the season 8 episode “The Springfield Files.” Where FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, from The X-Files series, investigate the appearance of an alleged alien being in Springfield.
However, the otherworldly entity turns out to be Mr. Burns, the town’s greedy and evil tycoon, who has been experiencing the side effects of an experimental longevity treatment:
Mr. Burns’s scene is one of the most memorable in “The Springfield Files.” It is disturbing, disturbing and, at the same time, comically absurd. It’s a perfect combination of the two worlds that collide in the episode: that of the dark science fiction of The X-Files and that of the nonsensical animated comedy of The Simpsons.
Now, to the surprise of fans, this scene has taken on new life thanks to a cosplay tribute that has gone viral through TikTok.
The cosplay star on this social network, Rhyleep95recreated Mr. Burns’ iconic look in a video that ended up breaking the internet due to the final result of the tribute.
In the video, Rhylee uses makeup, glow sticks, and prosthetics to bring the crazy millionaire’s animated image to life. The glowing, ghostly figure she creates is a perfect interpretation of the original scene.
His cosplay homage is so twisted and detailed that we totally understand why it went viral.
