insane comedy wonder
Wonder Showzen is one of my favorite shows of all time. When I first saw it, I thought it was so funny and new and original and edgy and insane and subversive. I didn't know comedy could do that.
risk kind evangelical
Bill Cosby spoke out against The Simpsons and there was this kind of evangelical, right-wing sect that was against The Simpsons. Fox was a new network at the time, though, so they were going to take risks.
long variety jokes
You see a lot of sketch variety shows where each segment is one joke that they repeat over and over and over again, and the sketches are always three or four minutes too long.
growing-up consistency comedy
Its consistency of what comedy can do and what comedy can be.Growing up with that show [The Simpsons] shaped my worldview.
thinking people cartoon
I think part of it is the fact that they were kind of the first of its kind - there weren't a lot of cartoons for adults. People forget at the time that The Simpsons started out, it was controversial - the fact that they said "hell" and "damn" in a cartoon was a lot. America was in an uproar.
growing-up
I just grew up with it [The Simpsons]. The first season came on when I was 5, 6 years old, and the show evolved as I was growing up and got funnier and funnier and, by the time I was in 12th grade, they were at their funniest.
thinking gender
I think everyone is bi, right? There's no such thing as sexual orientation, or race, or gender. Those are all obsolete man-made concepts.
bored long jokes
Like I said, a sketch is one joke. They shouldn't really be more than a minute, two minutes. There are some shows where the sketch goes on for five minutes. It's like, "I get it! I'm already bored. I did like the joke, but I don't anymore, because you went on too long."
horse sleep
I'm a lurker and a creep. Women don't like me because I sleep standing up, like a horse.
motto my-motto
A hole is a hole has always been my motto.
I'm an elderly Jewish lesbian trapped in a 33 year old nerd's body.
fun
You can make fun of your own a lot easier than someone else's.
