jokes
If there's an intelligence behind the joke - - it's a good joke.
fun
You can make fun of your own a lot easier than someone else's.
sitcom limitation
The Simpsons was pretty experimental at the time, but it attracted a lot of sitcom writers that felt confined by the limitations of live-action sitcoms in the '80s.
bored long jokes
Like I said, a sketch is one joke. They shouldn't really be more than a minute, two minutes. There are some shows where the sketch goes on for five minutes. It's like, "I get it! I'm already bored. I did like the joke, but I don't anymore, because you went on too long."
moving wonder jokes
Wonder Showzen was one of the first shows that realized each sketch, each segment is essentially one joke, and, once you know what the joke is, it's time to move on.
moving jokes
Let's hit the joke once and move on to the next joke and just keep it where we have as many jokes per square inch as possible.
comedy
They [ The Simpsons] are just like the Bible to me as far as what the high-water mark of comedy.
insane comedy wonder
Wonder Showzen is one of my favorite shows of all time. When I first saw it, I thought it was so funny and new and original and edgy and insane and subversive. I didn't know comedy could do that.
motto my-motto
A hole is a hole has always been my motto.
risk kind evangelical
Bill Cosby spoke out against The Simpsons and there was this kind of evangelical, right-wing sect that was against The Simpsons. Fox was a new network at the time, though, so they were going to take risks.
long variety jokes
You see a lot of sketch variety shows where each segment is one joke that they repeat over and over and over again, and the sketches are always three or four minutes too long.
growing-up
I just grew up with it [The Simpsons]. The first season came on when I was 5, 6 years old, and the show evolved as I was growing up and got funnier and funnier and, by the time I was in 12th grade, they were at their funniest.
growing-up consistency comedy
Its consistency of what comedy can do and what comedy can be.Growing up with that show [The Simpsons] shaped my worldview.
horse sleep
I'm a lurker and a creep. Women don't like me because I sleep standing up, like a horse.
