I find her line readings…distractingly Evelyn Harper-y. Just me?
You can't remember "The House Bunny"?!
Walla Walla. Keokuk. Seattle. Brooklyn. Texas. Homer!
The best part is, it feels like that, but actually, it's packed with recurring jokes that you only get if you've seen the whole series, but they don't make it feel like "what the hell is going on here?" if you haven't. (I'm looking at you, Arrested Development.)

It's bizarre how often THAT comes up in normal conversation for ME. …wait, it's not that bizarre at all.
@avclub-9ff7c9eb9d37f434db778f59178012da:disqus How do you know so much about Canada? I'm oddly flattered. I do have to say, though, that our prime minister is more like the Canadian Newt Gingrich.
From now on, I randomly blurt, "In fact, it's a big deal for me to see a kangaroo!" in response to pretty much any stimuli.
Every week, somebody brings up a moment from the episode that seemed really weak at the time, but now seems better than the past 15 years' worth of Simpsons combined. This is mine. At the time I was all, "Are we to believe Hitler is still alive and relatively hale and hearty, some fifty years after World War II?" But…
Kangaroos don't wander down the street?! :(
Hey, pal! Did you get a load of the nerd?
It's the guy's accent.
