      As someone who watched the Simpsons in the 90s, to me the modern version is unwatchable. But, it’s still on, so people must still watch it.

      It’s pretty great that we have a cultural touchstone like this that multiple generations can understand. This image is a Darmok and Gilad at Tanagra for multiple generations of English speakers, who can all hear the voice just by reading the words, and understand the context in which they’re meant.
