12.16.08 MARV ALBERT ON ‘THE SIMPSONS’
Not that I’m up to speed on this subject any more, but “The Simpsons” looks like it’s still going strong. This sequence from Sunday’s episode — when Monty Burns unveils a new sports arena, only to have it overrun with bees — features Marv Albert in a cameo and delivers a couple good laughs. But then, I’ve always been a sucker for Bee Man.
Not that you give a shit, but I used to watch 17 episodes of “The Simpsons” every week when I was in college — three per weekday in syndication and two on Sundays. I also got a double major in American history and political science. And guess which was a more worthwhile use of my time. (Hint: try to remember the last joke I told that referenced Hobbes’ Leviathan or Frederick Jackson Turner’s theory of the West.) Thanks for nothing, college!

MARV ALBERT ON ‘THE SIMPSONS’
There was a time I could recite whole episodes but the show has really escaped from my clutches. Much like that hooker last week.
People can piss and moan about the current state of the show, but I’ll never give up on it. It’s like if you grew up loving Troy McClure but then found out that he fucked fish. He’s still T-McC dammit and you should stand by him!
I wasn’t aware a double major was a prerequisite for boot camp.
“UFFORD YOU FAGGOT DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY!”
“But if you’ll allow me to quote Wittgenstein…”
“If you lived here you’d be home by now.”
Give yourself some credit: your Leviathan crack in regards to the Al Davis / Monte Kiffin contract dispute was a razor sharp double entendre.
LANE Kiffin.
Sorry. Hickory smoke in my eyes.
17 episodes? That’s like 12.5 hrs, think of all the girls you could’ve been banging, or in my case, all the time you could’ve spent jerking it.
Despite the tons of goodwill generated by the show’s countless laughs, i don’t know anyone who’s talked about The Simpsons recently, which is kinda sad. Maybe it was the movie.. or Ricky Gervais?
Allan Stokke is as good at math as he is at having a daughter I don’t want to have sex with.
I loved the Simpsons, I wish it were still on the air. The “Matt Groening Hates George Bush Show” they replaced it with is mind numbingly boring.
No noise means no bees.
I wish to God that same thing happen to the whatever-it’s-called arena where that fucking asshole team plays, you know, in the largest city in the state that is right above Texas. The Cock-sucking Assblasters, I think they are called.
Pfft. This is why Burns made me Head Bee Guy.
Oh god, not the bees!! NOT THE BEES!!
