True. It's also symbolic of the lack of diversity of people making entertainment in North America. I don't know if there is an inherit bias for women or people of different colour, or if it's just how the system was set up and it's hard for other players to join in.

I completely agree. I really hate it when I start hearing Billy West's voice all the time, or when I hear Jon Benjamin's deep baritone rumble the same way for every character he does.

I find the issue really interesting simply because voice actors are not seen, and shouldn't be identified (I don't count celebrities as voice actors because all they do is their own voice, except for Kevin Conroy because he is the best Batman and actually voiced the hell out of that role.) Since that's the case, race…

Does the colour or race of a voice actor matter? I'm not to sure, so I wanna throw the question out there. Does an actor who is supposed to fade into the animated character matter? I want to say no; look at James Avery playing Shredder in the original TMNT animated series; look at Hank Azaria who voices Lou the cop…

Man, that sounds awesome. Up in Canada we didn't have a network start playing non-edited versions of Bugs Bunny till a couple years ago.

During the early 90's there was lots of Warner Bros, Disney, Universal, Hanna-Barbera, etc, cartoons being played on a daily basis. I guess there was a reemergence of these styles of cartoons and that lead to Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid, Aladdin the animated series, Goof Troop, The New…

The way I see it there's two kinds of kids in the world, kids who like Animaniacs, and kids who don't like Animaniacs. You're either with us or against us, so which are you?

I always felt it so strange that The Simpsons would rip on comic book guy so hard until I read these responses. Now every joke, jab, and jape makes so much sense.

I randomly quote this after 9 pm. I don't have kids, I just find it very hilarious in a sad quoting things to myself way.

You're right, that is an unpopular opinion. You've saved me quite a bit of spoilage. Thank you, anonymous young man.

Kinda, I think its meant to be a little terrible; jokes terribleness are usually amplified through time. In my humble opinion a joke is equal parts reference, fun, stupidity, offensive, terrible, and insane..

As to my best recollection.

The best way to view this episode is think of The Simpsons as a museum of pop-culture and you just entered into the hall of Rodney Dangerfield. This episode doesn't have the same effect as it used to, like how the comedies of Caddy Shack and Nation Lampoons Vacation don't hit the same way they used to.

I am Lorde, yeah, yeah, yeah. God damn it South Park when is this song going to get out of my head.

Oh not again. Are Americans so fucking ignorant that they cant watch a show with accents that isn't set in fantasy middle ages? Do you think you'd like a different version of The Big Bang Theory? Then go watch the original IT Crowd!

Now the next question is if this show is any good.

Looks like A.V. Club is going to dive on in!!!

No, she was enjoying her Swing-A-Ma-Jig as she frantically reached for the off switch just out of reach.

and someone beat me, so…
