You’re missing one critical part of your interpretation— Hank Scorpio asks Homer if he’s ever seen someone say goodbye to a shoe before. In your interpretation, Homer is referring to what he just saw, except you’re overlooking one critical thing:

Studio exec 1: This guy needs to be barred from directing any other movies, he’s terrible.

“Over the course of 2 decades, 3,000 episodes, and employing over 1,000 staff members...”

I suspected there would be another episode as soon as I heard Jeff Lowe was buying even more Affliction t-shirts that would be embarrassing on a man half his age.

They actually trained 40 squirrels, per Wikipedia, which cites a book on Tim Burton, “Rather than rely on CGI, Burton wanted the 40 squirrels in the Nut Room to be real. The animals were trained every day for 10 weeks before filming commenced. They began their coaching while newborns, fed by bottles to form…

Maybe I'm misreading your comment, but are you wishing that something happens to her grandparents, thus haunting this girl for a stupid choice she made?  She did something stupid, but I wouldn't wish a bad fate on anyone.  Let's hope despite her choice, that it doesn't haunt her.  Yes, she made a stupid shortsighted…

If I could summarize the justification 90 percent of the employees in a few sentences, it would be this, “It was emotionally and financially ruinous for me, and I realized this early on, but hey I get to work at a really cool castle.  Have you seen the castle?  It's a really cool castle.  I wasn't going to give up my…

47 million a year? I guess it’s a popular show but I didn’t know commercials for insurance from the General were going at Super Bowl rates.

“My song just took a DNA test/turns out I’m 100% that bitch that wrote a song that actually contains ‘some of the chord progressions, melody in the verse part, and rhythmic cadence from the Healthy’ demo.’”

I’d pay good money to see that explained on-screen.

Everything in the 80s market was brand new? Hold on, let me put down my can of Tab. No, it wasn’t. The ideas weren’t original, sure the transforming was new-ish but even Gobots were there about 6 months before Transformers. My point about the originality isn’t that a new idea has to appear out of thin air, but if…

Dude, what are you talking about? I’m 42, this cartoon is for people my age... you know, the people that love nostalgia and pay for the Netflix account.

Splattered mud. 

He was gonna pawn it for 15K, but you have to understand the pawn broker has overhead, it's going to take up shelf space, he has to make a profit so...
