Curse their optimism!

10 years most definitely got behind me.

Did you get Doogie's autograph?

Very true. The exuberance of youth and the regret of middle age all wrapped up in one song.

The songs are almost meaningless until you've experienced actual loss in your life. Then they're goddamn fucking hammers that knock you down to tears.

The fact that those snobby country club people were more than willing to welcome the Simpsons into their midst…

Oh whoa. Homer thinking he's going to die after eating the fish from the sushi place.

Thanks for the hair! We need those virile young ones to lose it so that us old guys can keep it.

At least they retconned Homer into someone born in the 70s, rather than a teen in the 70s….

And could that bassoon come in any later?

Yup. I used to groan at them, but now I love them. Her alienation and yet, immense affection for Homer is really poignant.

I am 39…

Yup. That episode where Frye and Leela live their lives through the universe that's frozen can level me.

I certainly hope that you enjoyed a beer in the bathroom after that.

Some of those golden age Simpsons epsiodes can still reduce me to tears, breaking through as I try to choke them back.

You were wearing an onion on your belt?

Make sure you wear a rubber dude.

Figure skating too.

I think Clinton would have to do something pretty terrible to lose the election. Her campaign ads are already, "get a load of this chump. Who wants him to be president? Idiots, that's who."

*uproarious applause*
