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.

How many n-bombs are dropped? It depends on what I post.
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.

Comedy is often about pain.

You can't really feel the direct change from one president to another versus people closer to you in local elections.
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.

They [ The Simpsons] are just like the Bible to me as far as what the high-water mark of comedy.
