Talking Simpsons LIVE With Dana Gould!!!
🕑 Added 2018-02-02 06:02:37 +0000 UTC Recorded at SF Sketchfest Nightlife on January 18, 2018, Bob, Henry, and Chris all did our first live show and it was a ton of fun. Not least of which we got to have a live chat with Simpsons writer/standup legend/creator of Stan Against Evil Dana Gould! Hear all about him working on the show (including a joke too dirty for The Simpsons), as well as Dana weighing in on our topic: The Most Pathetic Man in Springfield. All that and more on Talking Simpsons' historic first live show!

I was with Chris until he insisted he's right about the "diarrhea" thing again

I'd say between the three, I was won over by Chris' endorsement of Barney, but my pick for Springfield's Most Pathetic Man would have to be Hans Moleman. He's the show's go-to whenever it needs a character to be exploded, set on fire, have his brains drilled into by a doped-up Burns, or absorbed into a bouncing Prisoner orb. Like Barney, he apparently can't hold down a job, whether it's prison librarian, morning radio host, or Edgar Allen Poe birthplace mover – this is probably because he's a magnet for life-threatening violence. Hans was romantically spurned by (of all people) Selma, and unlike Barney, has no innate skills and no Moe in his life. His entire existence as a recurring character is one of Sisyphean torment and loneliness: no one's gay for Moleman.
