The funniest thing is the Brit commenter making fun of how inaccurate the accent is only to be told the guy who made this is British.

Re: The Simpsons
Whatever the hell Marge says would be next level for an American to come up with. Doesn't surprise me that the creator is authentic Brit.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Re: The Simpsons
Kidding about the new yorker aside, I want to emphasise how great that interview is. Really a must read for any fan of the show. Just funny, warm stuff.
