More quotes by Eric Andre
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.
Eric Andre
There's two sides to the coin. I think I'm much happier that [Barack] Obama won over John McCain or Mitt Romney, because I think Obama did something culturally for the country.
Eric Andre
[The people that worked on The Simpsons] just had good taste. They knew how to execute absurd jokes.
Eric Andre
I'm an Aries. I need everybody to like me.
Eric Andre
Before The Simpsons, I was 4 years old, so I don't know exactly what I was thinking before that.
Eric Andre
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.
Eric Andre
When I'm watching South Park I don't think it's written by neo-Nazis. They know exactly what they're doing.
Eric Andre
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.
Eric Andre
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.
Eric Andre
I'm a lurker and a creep. Women don't like me because I sleep standing up, like a horse.
Eric Andre
I think if the joke is in good taste - it's a good joke.
Eric Andre
If the crowd is full of assholes, it's no fun. If the crowd is cool, it's great.
Eric Andre
If there's an intelligence behind the joke - - it's a good joke.
Eric Andre
I do think homophobia in the '80s was more rampant and socially acceptable.
Eric Andre
I think we give human beings too much credit. We're primates, you know.
Eric Andre
You can make fun of your own a lot easier than someone else's.
Eric Andre
I'm insecure, and I need the validation of strangers to feel whole. So, I need every single racist 12-year-old on the Internet to like me, or I don't feel complete.
Eric Andre
I think part of it is the fact that they were kind of the first of its kind - there weren't a lot of cartoons for adults. People forget at the time that The Simpsons started out, it was controversial - the fact that they said hell and damn in a cartoon was a lot. America was in an uproar.
Eric Andre
I can't tell if the world is worse now or if we just have more cameras. There are cameras everywhere, so now the world knows how bad the world is.
Eric Andre
I'm not a very good actor, so I break character all the time.
