That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

fun fact: Arleen Sorkin was casted as Harley Quinn before most Harley’s characterization had been thought out. the character’s entire existence was based on Sorkin’s appearance as a clown on the show Day’s of our Lives according to Paul Dini, much of Harley’s personality is based on Arleen’s, including her “bubbly, wisecracking personality” without Arleen Sorkin this character probably wouldn’t exist, or would certainly be a lot different

Had that exact thing happen a couple months ago. One of our clients asked us if we could help them get their data integrated with some fancy new Gumbies. It took me a solid hour paging through their sales pitch and documentation to find out what the loving thing actually does, much less how and where it does it. The whole thing was completely set up to get you to call their help line and pay them for a personal support session to set the whole thing up for you.

I'm stuck in a sort of dev hell where we've started upgrading Gumbies by like six versions, was told "It should take six to eight weeks", and two years later it's still a priority, meanwhile they've also decided to implement a Flurbles security client over it, which necessitates upgrading Gumbies another six versions or so, and it's just like please can we finish one thing first.

To top it all off we'll have this for about a year before switching to uh, let's say Beebops.

I despise those sort of solutions. Almost always it’s just replicating the functionality of an existing popular solution and they dumped their entire budget into CSS.

Julie Kavner can wrap that raspy sound around real delivery, though. She sounds like a real person, and even somewhat pleasant.

At least, she used to. Don't look up recent Marge clips; it hurts in more ways than one.

That’s probably because Marge is her own voice exaggerated somewhat, everyone else is doing an impression.

And that’s also the reason it’s off now that she’s older. Billy West is having a similar issue with Fry in the new Futurama episodes.

I'm opposed to all Simpsons dubs. Watching the first ten seasons of Simpsons is your reward for learning English. Watching the rest of it in English is your punishment.
