Because as ignorant as these learned dorks may be, they always raise interesting points, and often notice things you never would have noticed yourselves.

Did anyone else read the New Yorker review of Adventure Time? Again, it's an over-educated pretentious twat going on about shit she knows nothing about. But to re-discover Adventure Time through their eyes, man.... to imagine seeing it for the first time as they did...
For example, take this section where she describes some of the side characters. Imagine her describing that to a bunch of other baby boomers:
"... Lemongrabs, lemon-headed maniacs who spend most of their time howling in frustration...."
Yes, I know. She describes Lemongrab as "lemongrabs," as if they were a race or something. But c'mon: "lemon-headed maniacs who spend most of their time howling in frustration." That's perfect. That description is perfect. And if you're too much of an anal, stuck up asshole that you get bothered over her calling them "Lemongrabs" as if they were a race, you can get the fuck out, because you have no respect for good writing or art.
