The Simpsons1989

[appearing on the stadium television]

Sideshow Bob:
Hello, Springfield. Sorry to divert your attention from all the big noises and shiny things. But something's been troubling me lately: television! Wouldn't our lives be so much richer if television were done away with?

Moe:
What?

Dr. Hibbert:
Surely he's not talking about VH-1.

Sideshow Bob:
Why, we could revive the lost arts of conversation and scrimshaw. Therefore I submit to you, we abolish television, permanently!

Homer Simpson:
Go back to Massachusetts, pinko!

Sideshow Bob:
Oh, and one more thing: I've stolen a nuclear weapon. If you do not rid this city of television in two hours, I will detonate it. Farewell.

[Bob cuts the link. People start to panic, then Bob reappears]

Sideshow Bob:
By the way, I'm aware of the irony of appearing on TV in order to decry it, so don't bother pointing that out.
