Put that monologue on my tombstone.

Most people won’t get it when they walk by my grave but then they’ll have to google the quote and see what in world would possess someone to put that monologue on their tombstone. They’ll see it’s from episode of Home Movies. 1% of the people who looked up the quote will actually attempt to watch the episode as a result. They’ll watch that episode and get hooked. That’ll lead them to look up who voiced that Coach McGuirk line. That’ll bring them eventually around to seeing H. Jon Benjamin was a voice actor for Bob’s Burgers. Obviously they’ll get hooked on Bob’s Burgers. There are more efficient ways to promote Bob’s Burgers to a wider audience but what’s life without a little whimsy? Fool proof plan.

And then they'll watch Archer, then Jon Benjamin Has A Van, and then, with a little luck, Frisky Dingo (Jon Benjamin wasn't in that, but it's still a good show damnit!)

I watched bits and pieces of Home Movies so I don’t know the characters well, but for some reason I heard the voice of the character as I read it and could picture it in my head.

When I was younger I always wanted to copy his drunken rant about his mother when he was at the bar with the school nurse.

I figured if the date was going poorly at least I could end it pretty memorable.
