The Simpson table read script

5 years ago when I was working at Fox I got invited to a table read for ep. YABF06 (“I’m dancing as fat as I can”). The entire voice cast ( minus harry and hank, they delivered lines over the phone ), producers, writers, and a few spectators were in a conference room on the fox lot. I had not watched an episode since 2003 or so I wasn’t sure what it would be like, but it was hilarious. I was cracking up on the corner with my friend. Maybe it was the energy in the room and hearing the cast do the characters in person, but when I watched that same episode in it’s finished form, it felt flat, uneven, and not that funny. James L Brooks was an interesting fellow, always rallying the troops and psyching them up for a table read, like it was a team building exercise. Overall a great experience to finally meet all the people I had idolized as a kid.

Aw. Me and Santa's Little Helper used to be a team, but he never wants to play anymore since his bitch moved in

Is everything okay? I got worried when I didn't hear any shots

“Homer, your growing insanity is starting to worry me”

No, wait. I have a plan. But I'll need your underpants.

Yesterday we asked if you wanted to risk it all for $500,000 and you stalled for 20 minutes

Which country or region did the Simpsons skewer the best?

Then you got these lady comics talking about stuff... that would embarrass Redd Foxx- God rest his smutty soul. Who they slept with. What time they sit on the can. This is supposed to get you a husband?
