>But why?
>Because. You need me, Springfield. Your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king! That's why I did this. To save you from yourselves! Now if you'll excuse me, I have a city to run...
>Bailiff, arrest the mayor.
>What? Oh right, all that stuff I did.

Why does S06E05 - Sideshow Baskin Roberts cause so much seethe on this board?

This thread will end poorly, I can feel it.

It was a bold choice to let Kelsey Grammer write his own dialogue, but I think it worked out for the best.

And we did. The end.

He's right. Humans are drawn to authoritarians.

>>212007704
It was pure kino.

>After Sideshow Bob Roberts aired, a Usenet poster uploaded a diatribe to alt.tv.simpsons accusing the episode of being "unabashed liberal propaganda. Clearly someone on the Simpsons staff is very worried about the [upcoming 1994 midterm elections]. I would love to see Matt Groening hung from a tree branch by his large intestine and left to slowly writhe."

>The 10/26/94 Life In Hell strip featured Binky the Rabbit reading the poster's rant on a computer and remarking to himself "Why do I suddenly feel so refreshed?"

ok

I've never met an extremely political person who was normal and pleasant to be around.

>>212007173 (OP)
Is that Sneedshow Bob?

lol used to listen to Michael Savage and he was like "I never understood all the talking heads on cable news like Sean Hannity who can just get on there and talk about politics on their show every day five days a week and have no interest in anything else."

>>212009274
myself and all my friends are extremely political and we all have a wonderful time hanging out, sounds to me like you're just a faggot

this episode came out of that whole 90s Gen X slacker "politics are for losers they're all crooks anyway so who cares, right?" mentality
