Matt Groening has made millions appealing to the infantilism of American “adults.” His humor is akin to the sophistication of an eight-year-old boy simulating body-noises by pumping air into his arm pit. It doesn’t take much to entertain some people.
The most sensible approach to Groening and Michael Moore is to totally ignore these permanent adolescents. They are both wealthy enough without giving them free publicity for their latest mental burps.
Hey, I resemble that remark.
Groening has had little to do with The Simpsons for a quite a while. At its best the show was satire and comic invention at its peak (Swift,Twain, Monty Python ) it’s studied in universities as an American Institution. What do you regard as ‘intelligent comedy’?
