Is this Simpsons quote the perfect summary of Moderate Heroism?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Kang: Abortions for all!
*crowd boos loudly*
*pause*
Kang: Very well...no abortions for anyone!
*crowd boos loudly*
Kang: Hm...abortions for some, minature American flags for others!
*crowd breaks out cheering*

[SvenssonRS]

Like hell.

[dead0man]

Homer: America, take a good look at your beloved candidates. They're
       nothing but hideous space reptiles.  [unmasks them]
        [audience gasps in terror]
Kodos: It's true, we are aliens. But what are you going to do about
       it? It's a two-party system; you have to vote for one of us.
        [murmurs]
 Man1: He's right, this is a two-party system.
 Man2: Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate.
 Kang: Go ahead, throw your vote away.

We must move forward... not backwards, not to the side, not forwards, but always whirling, whirling, whirling towards freedom.

Remember the mid-90s when The Simpsons was funniest (and smartest) show on Earth? It all seems like a dream to me now.

Well, to be fair, TV was pretty sucky back then.

And it's better now?

Since i'm a Simpsons nerd....

That quote was from Treehouse of Horror VII.

Aliens! Bioduplication! Nude conspiracies! Oh my god, Lyndon LaRouche was right!

And it's better now?

Yes, quite a bit.  Network TV is marginally better, but the cable channels has much better shows now than it did in the 90s.  We can thank HBO for that (and Showtime and FX to a lesser extent).

Well, I don't get most of those channels, sadly. I love Breaking Bad on AMC and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is certainly amusing but I'm hard pressed to think of any other good shows on television right now (other than some mostly 11-minute long stuff on Adult Swim). TV in the mid-90s had Beavis and Butthead, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, a much better SNL, etc. I think it more than holds its own with today's television.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

That was an awesome episode, and a true quote.

I agree. I really think this episode started my interest in politics!

[Joe Republic]

One of my favorite episodes.


Kodos (posing as Bill Clinton)  "I am Clin-Ton.  As overlord, all will kneel trembling before me and obey my brutal commands.  *crosses arms*  End communication."
Marge:  "Hmm, that's Slick Willie for you, always with the smooth talk."

I've always found political humor in The Simpsons to be quite funny.
