"Bart Gets Famous" [ The Simpsons ]
Original airdate in N.A.: 3-Feb-94
(from internet transcript)
Sideshow Mel rants at Bart, but soon the boy finds it tiresome. "Show business sucks," he says, walking dejectedly towards the exit.
Krusty: Bart! I need to use you in a sketch.
Bart: You want me to be on the show?
Krusty: It's just one line. Mel's supposed to say it, but he's dead.
Bart: Dead?
Krusty: Or sick, I dunno. I forget. Anyway, all you gotta do is say, "I am waiting for a bus." Then I hit you with pies for five minutes. Got that?
Bart: "I am waiting for a bus."
Krusty: Makes _me_ laugh. Let's go!
Bart: "Just do the line", "Just do the line"...what's going to happen to me?
Marge tries to console her son.
Marge: Honey, I know you feel a little silly saying the same four words over and over, but you shouldn't. You're making people happy, and that's a very hard thing to do.
Bart: You're right, Mom. I shouldn't let this bother me. I'm in television now. It's my job to be repetitive. My job. My job. Repetitiveness is my job. I am going to go out there tonight and give the _best_ performance of my life.
Marge: The _best_ performance of your life?
Bart: The _best_ performance of my life!
Krusty is still nervous as he awaits Bart's arrival.
Krusty: Where is that lousy little pisher -- [Bart walks in] [joyfully] Bart! [kisses him] [On stage, a fanfare plays] And now, boys and girls, here he is, the boy that says the words you've been longing to hear, like the salivating dogs that you are, Bart Simpson!
Bart struts out and says, "I didn't do it." One woman chuckles, and a man clears his throat. Bart repeats himself, but only the crickets chirp. He looks over at Krusty, but he's no help: he simply shrugs. Bart tries another line: "Woozle Wuzzle?" Everyone repeats it to themselves, and a man asks, "That's what passes for entertainment these days? Woozle Wuzzle?" Everyone gets up to leave, and an announcer says, "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Klown Show has been put on hiatus for retooling."
Bart: What happened?
Krusty: Aw, don't worry about that. You're just finished, that's all.
Bart: Finished?
Krusty: Ehh, it happens all the time. That's show business for you: one day you're the most important guy that ever lived, the next day you're some shmoe working in a box factory.
Guide: I heard that.
Bart: Boy. Show business is kind of cruel, isn't it?
[Krusty slams and locks the exit, leaving Bart outside]
Bart walks home alone. As he passes a taxi, he hears KBBL.
Marty: That was "Kung Fu Fighting". Say, speaking of one-trick ponies, whatever happened to that "I didn't do it" kid?
Bill: Boy, did _that_ get old fast. Whoa! You know, if you want to last in this business, you've gotta stay fresh! [a slide-whistle and clown horn play]

(from internet transcript)
In fourth grade, the entire class stares at Bart, grinning silently. Even Mrs. Krabappel does so.
Bart: Uh...I never thought I'd say this, but shouldn't we be learning something?
Milhouse: Say the line, Bart!
Bart: [sighs] I didn't do it.
Everyone: Yay!

Identification (literature)
From Wikipedia
Identification refers to the automatic, subconscious psychological process in which an individual becomes like or closely associates themselves with another person by adopting one or more of the others' perceived personality traits, physical attributes, or some other aspect of their identity. The concept of identification was founded by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in the 1920’s, and has since been expanded on and applied in psychology, social studies, media studies, and literary and film criticism. In literature, identification most often refers to the audience identifying with a fictional character, however it can also be employed as a narrative device whereby one character identifies with another character within the text itself.

Woke up this morning thinking of watching the next episode from season 2 of "Travelers"
Sat down at this desk, decided I was not checking that same Instagram page today
Until suddenly, several hours later, suddenly compelled to check for the first time today that same Instagram page. Noted the time of day the moment I first saw it. Useless. Unless I convert it in my mind.
As I have documented before, the content of "Travelers" is well established from years ago, but for me, is completely new the first time I see it. Sitting here now, no idea of what I will observe in that episode, interesting or not.
Undecided as of now if I will watch it today, this calendar-day 03/17/2025
