@Gaguri

Actually the “I have nothing funny to say” line was taken from the comedian Hiroshi. That’s an interesting way of looking at that scene, but I dunno if it “meant” anything beyond the setup to the bug gag.

As for number one, I would argue that it's more due to it being an American term. The Simpsons, and especially King of the Hill, are both labeled as animated sitcoms without reservation. I should mention that it is my belief that it's not a cultural thing, just one of different linguistics giving birth to ignorance of genre. I don't think these claims cultural divide is especially right, because the claims of the tremendously different importance of animated media in a cramped and not-very-real-estate-rich Japan as compared to the western nations are, well, corn-fed hormone-treated bullshit, with A: the stigma attached to animated programs there, and B: how many more people have viewed, say, Family Guy, than, for instance, Dexter. As for two, I'm afraid I'm forced to commit the grave sin of agreeing without further comment.

The Big Bang Theory? That’s not anime! The only non-anime non-sports TV I watch these days is porn.

Definitely the longest, and one of many awesome posts (too many to choose from). But that’s no excuse for you to quit writing your post. In fact, I don’t think I’ll be writing a long post again, just to make sure you’ll be following through. I shouldn’t be the only one writing community service posts.
