That’s gold too. And then there’s this (whoever did it is a genius): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30rppXef0Rk
“Twinkle twinkle groovy cat”
I like how this is one of those episodes that’s almost a cultural time capsule of the year it was made. Pogs, the ER music at the hospital, Mufasa in the clouds, the Tonya Harding sex tape joke, and Lionel Hutz driving off in a white Ford Bronco with expies of Robert Shapiro and Alan Dershman – it doesn’t get much more late 1994/early 1995 than this.
I like how the show can be both a “cultural time capsule”, like you said, and still be a nearly timeless classic simultaneously. We may have to explain some of the jokes and references to the younger generations, but the overall themes can usually apply to any time period.
That’s the mark of great entertainment. It’s why Looney Tunes endures, even though half the jokes don’t make sense to anyone who wasn’t alive in the 1940s.
