Justin breaks down a Simpsons joke.  I demand that he do more of these.

justinhook:

“George Burns was right. Show business is a hideous bitch goddess.” (The Simpsons, S07E02)

I love how many levels there are to the humor in classic episodes of The Simpsons, but here is one case where they probably went too far. 

As far as I can tell, this joke can be understood on at least four levels, and one of those is as an intentionally-misattributed misquote of a reference to a reference to an event that isn’t even on Wikipedia.

So if you want to “get it,” read on.
