Only If

Homer: (referring to life after the 90s) At least we'll know there will never be a president worse than Bill Clinton. Imagine, lying at a deposition in a civil law suit. That is the worse sin a president can commit.

Marge: There will never be a worse president. Never.

Homer: Never.

Ode to 30 Rock

Tracy: I'm gonna have so much money, my grandkids are gonna play lacrosse. Lacrosse, Lemon!

Liz: By the hammer of Thor!

Jack: For God's sakes, Lemon, we'd all like to flee to the Cleve, but we fight those urges, because we have responsibilities.

Liz Lemon: Why are you wearing a tux?
Jack: It's after 6 o'clock Lemon. What am I, a farmer?

The Birth of Super Villains

To understand evil, one must know where it began.

Joker - born evil
The Penguin - parents' abadonement
Harley Quinn- her love/admiration for the Joker
Kingpin - capatilism
Mr. Freeze - death of his wife
The Riddler - fired from his job
Two Face - psychotic disorder
Clayface - narcissism
Killer Croc - outcast by society
Green Goblin (Henry) - capatalism
Green Goblin (Harry) - father issues/jealously
Lex Luthor - capatilism
Braniac - born evil
Venom - jealously/ambition
Carnage - born evil
Magneto - war/prejudice
Apacolypse - born evil
Dr. Octopus - death of his wife/ambition
Vulture - youth obsession
Hydro-Man - desire

Capatilism seems to be a primary source of super-villianary. The scariest villains are born evil. Many super villians also refer to philosophy (Neitzsche) or science (Darwin) to justify their actions. The Riddler wins for most pety reason for super villianry (not counting the Trio from Buffy, who are just bored (and wanted lasers and "chicks"))
