Mr. Burn's personality classification is that he is a sadistic, cold, life-hating ecological terrorist with a sadistic passion for autarchy. He has an incurable process addiction of devising destructive, disruptive, life-hating plots for his own gain. Mr Burns personally enjoys the dehumanization of new, creative, bright employees because he ignores how that dehumanization relates to his profits. Mr. Burns' main conflict with himself is his musculoskeletal condition is so bad, that he is constantly achy and he is generally of poor and low character. Mr. Burns never took his billions of dollars to buy any class for himself. Mr. Burns embodies a number of sometimes accurate stereotypes about Corporate America, as he has an unquenchable desire to increase his own wealth and power. Burns also embodies the stereotype of a manager by forgetting his employees' names (especially Homer's, despite Homer appearing that he interacts more than Burns does with most of his employees), though this can be attributed to his senility. Burns is also unconcerned for their safety and well-being (the plant, for example, is filled with obvious safety violations). Mr. Burns is a member of various organizations. In his early years, while he was a college student at Yale University, he was a member of the Skull and Bones society. During World War II, Burns became a member of the Flying Hellfish squad, a group of soldiers who entered into a tontine regarding the ownership of German artwork. Burns was a member of the Stonecutters until it disbanded, at which time he joined the secret society that succeeded it: The Ancient Mystic Society of No Homers (One source of dislike of Burns for the "Stonecutters" is that despite his wealth and greed, he is outranked by Lenny). He is currently the head of the Springfield Republican Party and once headed a short-lived religion. He is also a member of the "Excludes Club", the Springfield Golf and Country Club, and the National Rifle Association. He holds a chair (a demonic throne with snarling dogs chained to it) at Springfield University and controls an anti-democratic paramilitary force in Latin America.

We see good old Homer walking home out of obligation after having had one too many Duff beers. Then, he encounters a strange, glowing green alien who wants to deliver peace and love. Mr. Burns makes a cameo in the Harvest Moon manga as one of the crowd to rebuild Claire's grandfather's farm. He is also shown to hate the lawyers he hires in large part because of the latter party's unethical practices, and only has them available under necessity. At one point, in an uncharacteristic act of charity, he also managed to pay for a then-dangerously overweight Homer Simpson's liposuction to make him comparatively thin again to repay the latter for reducing a potentially catastrophic Chernobyl-style nuclear meltdown at the plant to "a mere Three-Mile Island" (although it should be noted that he did this task after Homer failed to do one sit-up). [57] In addition, during Frank Grimes' last moments when he, having entered a psychotic break, ended up grabbing extremely high voltage cables under the delusion that he was Homer Simpson, Burns was seen grimacing at the result alongside Homer Simpson, Smithers, and at least two other workers. [58] In addition, Mr. Burns when watching a play Skinner organized to get him to provide funds for the then-recently closed Springfield Elementary School, reacted with horror after the Chef, out of incompetence caused by the school being closed, placed rat poison into broth instead of salt, before Skinner pointed out that Mr. Burns could have ingested it. [59] Similarly, when Homer had a manatee pose as himself, Mr. Burns was shown to befriend him, and when learning he was about to die from dehydration, he immediately requested they give the manatee a sponge bath.

About

Another one of the very strange crossover episodes The Simpsons likes to experiment with every now and again brings Mulder and Scully from The X-Files into the mix. In 1939, at Burns' 25-year college reunion, he became romantically involved with the daughter of an old flame. She would later bear his child, Larry Burns, who was given up for adoption and would later enter Mr. Burns' life briefly. [19] World War II [ edit ] Burns used to have a penchant for reading comics as a child ("comical booklets"), but his father Clifford didn't like this. Clifford burned down the company that made the comics to teach his son a lesson. [22]

Supposedly, the last Plantagenet was King Richard III who was killed in battle by Henry Tudor. This implies that Mr. Burns is a secret descendant of King Richard. Silicon Valley had a very similar plot about 6 years later, so South Park right right… The Simpsons did it! 10 The “winner” of the ‘Who shot Mr. Burns’ competition got the answer wrong.

Harry Shearer based the voice on Lionel Barrymore (Mr. Potter from It’s A Wonderful Life, and Drew Barrymore’s great uncle) and former president Ronald Reagan. It is implied in the episode " Million_Dollar_Maybe", that Burns may used to be a German soldier in World War 2, when he says "Wait, I'm shooting AT nazis? That's not the way I remember it."

It isn’t much of a surprise that Homer doesn’t really feel an overwhelming desire to hang onto his dignity where he can. There have been a lot of examples of Homer making a fool of himself for a variety of reasons, but becoming Mr. Burns’ ‘Prank Money’ really seems to come out on top. He is an extremely greedy, cheap, tyrannical and egotistical businessman, and is the richest and most powerful citizen of Springfield. He is the oppressive founder and chairman of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, a member of the inner circle of the Springfield Republican Party, the boss of Homer Simpson, Lenny, Carl and Waylon Smithers and, finally, the archenemy and former friend of Abe Simpson and Homer Simpson. In the second story of "Treehouse of Horror XVI", "Survival of the Fattest", Burns has some similarities to Emil Fouchon from Hard Target as both hunt men and have their assistants, though his role in this story is more based off of General Zaroff. Kidnapping: In " Marge Gets a Job", Burns tried to woo Marge by making Smithers kidnap Tom Jones, hold him at gunpoint, and chain him while he was singing. He was once forced to work in a Sweatshop, along with other billionaires such as Artie Ziff, Aristotle Amadopolis and The Rich Texan.THOH – " Treehouse of Horror IV" ("The Devil and Homer Simpson"; "Bart Simpson's Dracula" as Count Burns) Superintendant Chalmers • Seymour Skinner • Edna Krabappel • Elizabeth Hoover • Groundskeeper Willie • Otto Mann • Lunchlady Doris • Dewey Largo • Dr. J.
