Answers:
Very quick humor--often vague references to political and social issues--exaggerated misuse of the English lanuage--very smartly written--by smart I mean it was sharp and bting--all of the characters are against our better judgement---blatantly against the norms of our society. The whole show is full of characters who play well off of each other--the humor is funny when the dialogue is coming from the right players. The voices are silly, the humor is silly, the situations are silly--just roaringly funny. A real departure for us from our crummy days in real life. We can't be underachievers like Bart, we can't be dismissive and blame everything on everyone else like Homer, We can't be deceptive and slick like Crusty, but we can dream about how funny it would be to just get away with it for a day or two. The actual writers are an excellent team of brilliant people.
