thinking comedian film
I don't think comedians take advantage of the fact that television and film are visual mediums.
thinking
Before The Simpsons, I was 4 years old, so I don't know exactly what I was thinking before that.
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.
thinking homophobia
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.
thinking
When I'm watching South Park I don't think it's written by neo-Nazis. They know exactly what they're doing.
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.
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.
From 'Chappelle's Show' to 'Tosh.0,' there's so much race comedy. It's overdone.
again movies seen time watched
I've never seen 'The Goonies.' I've never seen 'Indiana Jones.' I watched 'UHF' over and over again when I was little, and that was it. I had no time for any other movies. I watched 'Naked Gun,' 'UHF,' and 'Airplane!' over and over.
grew
I grew up in Boca Raton, Florida - the worst place on earth.
brando charlie richard
'The Simpsons' is like Charlie Parker or Marlon Brando or Richard Pryor: Comedy couldn't go back to the way it was after 'The Simpsons' came out.
loved
I loved 'Space Ghost' when I was in college.
dissect music
I don't really know how music and comedy are similar. I try never to dissect it theoretically or academically.
