I love how Robert Moses came up with cartoonishly evil supervillain plans to cover up the fact that he was a cartoon supervillain.
-
"Lincoln was not able to comment, mostly due to the fact that he still wasn't working." It's quotes like that and the "losing to Seattle" line that add subtle, sophisticated humor. I love it.
-
"worse, to the people of seetle" as a resident of seattle this made me laugh my ass off
-
"It's a miracle, Lincoln is alive and Moses needed him now more than ever" What a sentence to hear out of context
-
"Do you suppose God is mad at Walt for creating man in his own image?" has the exact same energy of that "Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?" line from Spy Kids.

Moses: "I want this fair so I can refurbish it into a park and be remembered as a philanthropic genius and not a racist destroyer of cities" Disney: "I want this fair because I want to see Lincoln talk"
-
“Lincoln, the first president to suspend habeas corpus, was not available to comment.” Had me dying
-
Kevin's completely nonchalant delivery is a total knockout every time. The Seattle gag was rad, but what really got me was- "Moses became more rude towards the members of the press as they wrote negatively about him. And in retaliation, the members of the press wrote negatively about him."
-
“Walt wanted to show amusement park’s sophistication.” shows video of animatronic cavemen rubbing their butts
-
“There was just one problem. Walt Disney was dead.” THE WAY I SCREAMED
-
Moses: What if I build a park on this gross swampland? Disney, eyeing Orlando: 🤔
-
The way you explained the ending made it sound like an oldschool Shyamalan twist. "There was just one problem. Walt Disney was dead."
-
"It would not bear his name, and it would not be his legacy." I do love a happy ending.
-
Ah yes, the monster rats, and their leader: a powerful rat named Charles Entertainment Cheese...
-
'Moses's crusade against the spicy below the neck area angered perverts and local fun havers alike' has to be one of the greatest sentences 😆
-
It gives me great satisfaction to know that Moses lived long enough to see that he failed, and how he would be remembered 😊
-
Let's not extend mass transit to the World's Fair. Why is no one showing up to the World's Fair?
-
Just realised that mostly every episode of Season 3 are literally all the things and events that inspired Walt Disney.
-
Honestly, I feel so sorry for the poor accountant that was literally berated into heart failure. Moses was an evil man, through and through. Classic example of when narcissism somehow gets even worse than it already is.
-
I really like to see what was going on inside the mind of Robert Moses. He hated middle class or below than that "peasants" which is like most of the population, but also wanted more people to come to the fair and spend money. It's like, what was he thinking? Kings and noblemen would flood in to the fair?
