No, just endless Simpsons references that fall on deaf ears.

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is...never try.

Oh, don't worry. Their idea of wit is nothing more than an incisive observation humorously phrased and delivered with impeccable timing.

I get the best eye-rolls followed by smiles from my wife when I say: β€œyou choo-choo choose me?”

I'm good for like the first 10 seasons, which are the best 10 seasons. I grew up on it and rewatched a lot of them as an adult. It's funnier as an adult.

Yeah seasons 3 through 8 were the Conan O'Brien years. That's the golden era.

But there are excellent episodes outside of that. I personally think "SE12 EP18 - Trilogy of Errors" is a top 5 episode. It's the one where marge cuts off homer's thumb, Milhouse finds fireworks in a cave and Lisa builds a ~~party~~ grammar robot. I haven't seen enough of seasons beyond like 20 or so to comment on them, but Ive heard they've actually been hitting a solid stride since the pandemic.

Aw Lisa, honey, just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

You’re failing, Seymour! What’s with you and failing?!

He's not just some guy, marge, he's a carny. And part of a noble tradition. Carnys built this country!

... The carnival part of it anyway.
