      “Hi, I’m Troy McClure. You might remember me from such self-help videos as ‘Smoke Yourself Thin’, and ‘Get Confident, Stupid.’”

   Great perspective in this screenshot! Another thing that only the Simpsons have.

      I was thinking this the other day, about how the Simpsons was downright — for a lack of a better word — EXPERIMENTAL, at times. With the direction, the angles, the editing (DENTAL PLAN!), the scene transitions, etc. Some of that stuff doesn’t seem so out of the ordinary now, but for 1989-ish, it was truly remarkable for … an animated sitcom, which was also truly remarkable.

      I think it mainly has to do with all the great and weird directors they hired to direct the show. I mean, they got the Kamillions (super weird experimental horror film)/Tripping the Rift dude as a director!
