people absurd jokes
[The people that worked on The Simpsons] just had good taste. They knew how to execute absurd jokes.

I don't think comedians take advantage of the fact that television and film are visual mediums.

The Simpsons was pretty experimental at the time, but it attracted a lot of sitcom writers that felt confined by the limitations of live-action sitcoms in the '80s.

They [ The Simpsons] are just like the Bible to me as far as what the high-water mark of comedy.

Wonder Showzen was one of the first shows that realized each sketch, each segment is essentially one joke, and, once you know what the joke is, it's time to move on.

hurt motivation thinking
All motivation is defined by intention. If the intention is to hurt, divide, or belittle, it's wrong; if it's an attempt to cope with or make sense of tragedy, it's something different. If it's commenting on society's flaws, versus adding to society's flaws, I think the audience can tell.

I do think homophobia in the '80s was more rampant and socially acceptable.
thinking jokes
I think if the joke is in good taste - it's a good joke.

If there's an intelligence behind the joke - - it's a good joke.
