As requested by King @Bob Carotte 35. The Political Correctness Musings of Lisa Simpson - An Unofficial Simpsons Couch Gag by Steel Sponge Before the usual routine of The Simpsons trying to sit on the couch could start, Lisa looked directly in front of the camera, as if she had something very crucial to talk about. "You know, here on this show, we've given you all some laughs, and then some jokes that weren't quite as humorous as we thought..." Lisa spoke, "but that's not what I'm here to talk about. What I'm here to talk about with you is political correctness." Lisa then held up a framed picture of Elon Musk. "And the topic of this instance of political incorrectness? It's me." Lisa continued. "In the past, I've said that Elon Musk is probably the greatest living inventor. Maybe I didn't put enough emphasis on 'probably,' but in light of what we've all witnessed of Elon's public image, it has occurred to me that I thought wrong. Like I had so vaguely stated once as an unsubtle nudge about a good friend of ours who hadn't been seen for years, 'It's hard to say. Something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect. What can you do?' "Now I ask myself, what can I do now that I know I've been wrong about someone I've judged as a pundit for human intervention? Do I address all the terrible things that Elon Musk had influenced on society and debunk the claim that he's the world's greatest inventor alive today, if he was one at all? Do I forgive myself and move on? Or do I take a third, arbitrary option, in which me and my family longingly stare at you for not doing a thing about it and dealing with this issue at a later date, while we, of course, also do nothing about it and proceed to do the Homer Shake to raise awareness of how out of touch we are? Well...just try and guess what exactly is the only thing we can do." And so the Simpsons family stared at the audience before proceeding to do the Homer Shake. CREATED BY MATT GROENING
