You're an imperceptive nerd if you think the Simpson's writers are bitter about "smart" people. The entire premise of that writing staff was to just cram as many smart people into a room as possible and have them collectively rewrite stuff.

I mean, it's the entire reason why the show sucks now: the writers are all very intelligent, completely unfunny people. Did you see the episode where they retold MacBeth as a production of MacBeth? It wasn't funny at all, but it was clever until they got to the rushed ending.

You just declared yourself a nerd in a faux-shocked way. I don't know if "nerd" applies, but "socially-awkward" and "tedious" do.

Smart people are perfectly capable of intelligently being sanctimonious dickheads. That's actually a moral a lot of intelligent people need to take to heart.

You really are living up to your name.

Lisa is the straight man. Everyone always overlooks the straight man, even though he's the most important part of the comedy routine. Without Lisa to provide a bit of sanity for everyone else to contrast with, the show would have never reached the heights it once did.

This bit pretty much encapsulates that. Remove Lisa sulking in the background, and all you've got is a couple of dancing idiots.

I thought The Simpsons writers were largely Harvard-educated, that's why they make so many jokes about Yalies

What about the one where she gets raped with purple tentacles?

I've notified the Australian police. They should be around shortly.

CONTAMINATE THOUGHT PROCESS FLOWCHART

There is a little girl in a cartoon.

1. Is she written as a cutesy, catchphrase-spouting idiot? If No, go to 2.

2. Is she written as a fetish object? If no, go to 3.

3. HATE HER.

End.

you don't have to be caminante to hate lisa episodes

The episode where Bleeding Gums dies is fucking great! So is the one where she sees her future wedding, and 'Summer of 4 ft. 2', and Lisa the Vegetarian, and...

Is it just that you feel threatened by intelligent women :(

What's the extra B stand for?

B.Y.O.B.B.

Yeah but what's that extra B for?

B.B.B.B.Q.

Hey, let's talk about who else sucks! Uh, Picasso (and Van Gogh (don't forget that old hack Mozart (being a pseudo-intellectual is a very easy game to play, huh)))

Don't forget Bansky, he sucks too.
