Heh. I agree, and I feel like a bit of a hypocrite, because I also hate when Jess is infantile and ditzy. The show is best when it hits the screwball sweet spot wherein the characters are zany instead of idiotic.

I loved the opening reveal of the SATC voiceover actually being directed at the poor UPS guy.

I personally find the plot of a grown woman patiently and uncomplainingly suffering through a man-child's shenanigans neither original nor humorous.

This is the darkest day in the history of Springfield. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the shower.

Well played.

"It used to be about the music."

I'm not the biggest fan of Lisa's singing voice (or Marge's, for that manner, though Streetcar is the business). But this episode is hilarious and I quote the Faberge egg exchange frequently:

Oops, you beat me to this! I completely agree. I also think Paris should have been valedictorian (though I suppose it could be explained by her post-Harvard rejection collapse).

It is touching, but it's also incredibly weird that she made the valedictorian speech almost entirely about herself. It's not like an Oscar thank-you speech; it's supposed to send off the entire class.

That's for besmirching an innocent girl's name!

Anyone want to speculate why Margaret is keeping that lizard thing on her desk? Does she want the kids to forget about Nucky entirely? Or is it just to we have a nice objective correlative for Nucky in that scene?

Why must everything be settled with tussling?

This song—its shifting rhythms, vocal harmonies, and handclaps—is pure happiness.

"Thank you for holding my book while I tied my shoelace."

"I've never met anyone who appreciated Jim Carrey."
"He can make you laugh with a frantic flailing of his limbs!"

"Here, rabbit!"
"Here, Esquilax!"

Sorry to interrupt all the truly hilarious rape jokes, but Death and the Maiden is about Chile, not Argentina.

Did I mishear, or did Barney's Bro History say that Columbus came to America in 1776?

The persistent sidelining of Winston (as hilarious as he is solo) is starting to make me angry. Continually hanging a lampshade on it as a plotline doesn't somehow make it better.

Marge brandishing "Pobody's Nerfect" hat: "It's clever, just like you!"
