Talk:Mr. Burns

message: In "The Burns and the Bees" he loes alot of money from the stadium and got tossed out of the billionaires group and since the "The Rich Texan" was also in the billianaries group wouldn't that make Mr. Burns the second richest man in Springfield?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.254.89.216 (talk) 22:47, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I think a mention of how Mr. burns pronounces excellent can be mentioned phonetically, it sounds like egg-se-lent. any thoughts  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theo10011 (talk • contribs) 07:55, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Since the idea of this page is to help to get a better understanding of this character, is it worth mentioning that he Tweets on Twitter?  It's actually a good read and all Tweets are in character!  http://www.twitter.com/Monty_Burns

thread_title:  Mr Burns on Twitter! 

message: Mr.Burns has participated in a petition, and was instrumental in helping it pass because everyone followed him:
http://www.tv.com/the-simpsons/marge-vs.-singles-seniors-childless-couples-and-teens-and-gays/episode/242858/summary.html
For some strange reason, in that episode they thought rich people like burns tries to get the best for society and so they participated when burns did.
Not sure if this is noteworthy enough though  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.59.147 (talk) 14:49, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Partisan participation in petitions 

message: To me, the sentence "He employed his wealth to make an ultimately unsuccessful run for state governor, only — like Charles Foster Kane — to be denied his chance to be Governor by Marge Simpson;" makes it sound like Marge was responsible for ruining Kane's run for governor.

thread_title:  Marge vs. Citizen Kane? 

message: there have been several references to Mr Burns being in the SS (latest one being his membership card in the latest episode) that he was fighting with the germans not against them should this be integrated into the article?
Also his name SCHICKLGRUBER was the Name of ADOLF HITLERS Father!But it looks like the most people dont know it,so its a little bit crazy that he is"Modeled after Jacob Rothschild"...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:6F:CF22:8854:1994:326B:F0C8:490A (talk) 22:21, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

message: Can anyone provide a citation for the episode in which Burns uses an antique camera to capture the misdeeds of Springfield elementary students in an upstairs classroom.  He instructs them to "hold still for 74 minutes".  I am doing some important work for this article and reviewing this episode would add greatly to my contribution. Thanks

message: In the 21st season episode American History X-Cellent, Burns is flung backward by about 1 to 2 metres by a flash of light. Perhaps this should be added in the list of other qualities that make him weak, such as not being able to crush an insect or a paper cut. 210.4.226.187 (talk) 15:23, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

message: John Elwes, a penurious old bugger and the possible model for the famed miser Ebenezer Scrooge. Get a load of that mug, esp. about the nose and forehead. He could well have been Burnsie's ancestor.
