"And it's about nothing?"

"Absolutely nothing."

"So you're saying, I go in to NBC, and tell them I got this idea for a show about nothing."

"We go into NBC."

"'We'? Since when are you a writer?"

"(Scoffs) Writer. We're talking about a sit-com."

"You want to go with me to NBC?"

"Yeah. I think we really go something here."

"What do we got?"

"An idea."

"What idea?"

"An idea for the show."

"I still don't know what the idea is."

"It's about nothing."

"Right."

"Everybody's doing something, we'll do nothing."

"So, we go into NBC, we tell them we've got an idea for a show about nothing."

"Exactly."

"They say, 'What's your show about?' I say, 'Nothing.'"

The Simpsons return to New York City after Bart discovers that, out of all of the female interests he has had, the only one who liked him was Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel's daughter, Mary (from "Apocalypse Cow"), and now that Mary's made it to the Big Apple to be a writer for Saturday Night Live, Bart wants to see her again.

Its like a team of professional writers sat down to make funny replies to this thread but then really made them.

we killed them all in the alt history episode where the holocaust never ended, but if you recall the neighbor did have that boyhood dream about building a robot version of the family dog, maybe he can do the voice?

good start man, but you're missing out on some prime comedy chances here. mike's wife finds the phone in his backpocket after she runs it through the laundry.

this is why i'm lead writer and get paid the big bucks. take some notes, chump.

no it's funny because mike is the one the audience relates to, as he's a loving manchild idiot who didn't notice he was sitting on a piece of hard plastic throughout the entire day. it's something they can relate with

If we just keep having guest voice stars come to town and interact with our characters, it'll create infinite storylines and topical humor jokes.

maybe if we replace mike's dick with an iphone after a bungled vasectomy but he doesn't realize it until he tries to sex up his wife. this opens up the door for a lot of "is that an iphone in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" jokes

Microsoft is calling again guys. Look, they don't think we're putting in enough advertisements for their products. We gotta think of some way to include the Surface into this scene.

I don't have to remind you that your bonus salary comes from them. So get it done.

The alpha couple's getting too cozy again, and we need to reintroduce some conflict. How about we break them up for a season so they can have a series of one-episode relationships with people who seem perfect but then turn out to be totally batshit?
