To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand A Streetcar Named Marge. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical theatrics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Marge's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation - her personal philosophy draws heavily from Sylvia Plath literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike A Streetcar Named Marge truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Homer's existencial catchphrase "Donuts?," which itself is a cryptic reference to Hanson Gregory's epic Donut Discovery I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Rich Moore's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a A Streetcar Named Marge tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
