Simpsons voice talent
Love seeing Phil Hartman, Joe Montagna, and Jon Lovitz all working for the studio in that early scene. All three have been the best reoccuring guest voices on The Simpsons.
RIP Troy McClure
I know I'm replying to an ancient post, but I came here to see if anyone else had noticed that. T'was rather cool.

@ fingerst,
It's only because I'm procrastinating in the middle of copy-editing a long text on English grammar and lurking here, but I think, unless you're talking about coyotes or hyenas (and not humans,) you want your tag to say "... let those laugh who win"
(back to work; ignore as you will)
Thanks fortunate1, you're probably right, but it's a quote from Barry Lyndon and that's the way it's said in the film - which is set in the 1700's; perhaps that rule of language has changed since then, I don't know. I just love the quote. The main character kills a guy just by saying that to him lol
"Sir, let those laugh that win."
... and English is supple, too; more so than the people whose dreadful texts I'm cleaning up today.
In fact, I wish I were watching Barry Lyndon right now, instead; a great film.
Indeed, it's my favourite film of all time.
Hope you finish your work soon and get to watch it
"Sir, let those laugh that win."
Still working, still dithering.
I don't know why I suspect you're an aesthete, fingerst, but even if I'm wrong [even if you're a Commonwealth citizen], you should enjoy this essay on language:
