funny moving character
It's a funny show. The characters are surprisingly likable, given how ugly they are. We've got this huge cast of characters that we can move around. And over the last few seasons, we've explored some of the secondary characters' personal lives a bit more.
people done
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
nice gone-away stories
I've been deadline-driven for my whole grown-up life, and that hasn't gone away. It is nice to be able to reflect about the big picture, about what kind of stories you want to tell, and how to take advantage of success.
hell comic newspapers
I draw a weekly comic strip called Life in Hell, which is syndicated in about 250 newspapers. That's what I did before The Simpsons, and what I plan to do for the rest of my life.
people democracy
When will people learn? Democracy doesn't work!" (Homer Simpson)
funny life humor
Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers.
witty sex lessons-to-be-learned
When authorities warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities.
character want boundaries
With animation, because you can draw anything and do anything and have the characters do whatever you want, the tendency is to be very loose with the boundaries and the rules.
love dance dream
Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig and then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature machine gun.
sentences knows
I know all those words, but that sentence makes no sense to me.
sex funny-sex comedy
The French are funny, sex is funny, and comedies are funny, yet no French sex comedies are funny.
people looks world
Humor does depend on surprise, and the things that people remember as the funniest things in the world, you look at later and you go, "What? What was that all about?"
shows
'The Simpsons' is an especially collaborative show.
clubs sandwiches funny-simpsons
I thought I had an appetite for destruction, but all I wanted was a club sandwich.
