Which is better?

I am intrigued by DFW. I respect him for having I think the best writers are those who have issues and substance abuse problems.

>Wallace struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, depression, suicide attempts, institutionalization, and at times inappropriate sexual behavior. He was reported to have slept with some of his female students while teaching at university and sometimes exhibited stalking-like obsessive behavior when enamored of a woman.[44]

>Born to atheist parents, Wallace attempted to join the Catholic Church twice but "flunk[ed] the period of inquiry," and later attended a Mennonite church.[46][47][48]

I wonder what it was that depressed DFW. Was he redpilled? He must have been.

>Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well, I didn't hear anybody laughing!

Show me one quote from Infinite Jest that's this good.

>>8514661
To add to this, show ANY character as pure and interesting as Ralph wiggums

mario inc, you dummy

>>8515358
what am I doing beside celebrating a truly pure and spirited character in the most influential animated sitcom of all time(not the best though)?

>>8515358
Not as good.
>>8515360
Not a quote.

>I thought it would be fun and zany, like that movie "Spaceballs." But instead it was dark and disturbing, like that movie "Police Academy."

The Simpsons is very excellent, but I suppose that whats happens when you pool writers almost exclusively from Harvard

I remember when I was 15.

Infinite Jest takes 3 hours to digest while The Simpletons takes 2,000 hours to digest by sheer volume. You tell me WHAT'S BETTER.

"My name is David Foster Wallace and I'm an alcoholic."
"Mr. Wallace, this is a book club meeting."
"Is it? Or is it that you girls can't admit you have a problem?"

Family Guy is more like the Jonathan Franzen of sitcoms, he's THAT guy who thinks he's smug as fuck when he's really just a pretentious liberal being a hack.

Good evening. Tonight my guest is AFL/CIO chairman George Meany, who will be discussing collective bargaining agreements. Mr. Chairman, let me be blunt; is there a labor crisis in America Today?

Well Krusty, that depends on what you mean by crisis?

You have selected regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered press one.

Not so fast.

*Homer proceeds to escape very slowly*

Why dont you just stop altogether

>>8516299
Well, you can probably skip a lot of the Simpsons

Simpson's seasons 1-10 is the perfection of television as an artform. Afterward, it gradually declined in quality until it became unwatchable. Truly one of the great tragedies of our time.

great episode

The Simpsons is the height of culture.
I'm not fucking joking.

8 because its an idea, its closer to being real

The Simpsons haven't been good since around the movie was made.

It's now a adventure drama series instead of a comedy show.

Can't get through a single of these new SImpson episodes, and I used to love Simpsons. The older ones are still great though.

>>8517118
correct
how about:
the angle of a deck chair, or the adjective 'medium'?

It went bad like a decade before the film was made though

Comedy perfection: seasons 3-8
Great television: 1-2
occasionally watchable: 9-11
what the fuck happened: everything else

I still liked the movie

9 is pretty good cause most of the scripts were written during the Oakley and Weinstein era and carried over

10 is digestible

11 is where the cracks start to really show
