Students graduating in 2020 may not have dirty diaper sex videoshad the in-person commencement speeches they were hoping for, but thanks to Beyoncé, the cast of Schitt's Creekand The Simpsons, they certainly got some memorable virtual inspiration.
The Simpsons' contribution to Sunday's livestreamed YouTube Originals event Dear Class of 2020 started in unsurprisingly chaotic fashion: with a split-screen of Homer, Marge, Lisa, and Bart, out of whom only Lisa appeared to be taking her speech responsibilities seriously.

"And drinking at home at 10 in the morning is not only acceptable," he smiles, "it's called coping."
"And, not having friends over is seen as a healthy choice, instead of basic unpopularity," adds Lisa.
Next she goes on to say that people are eating less meat, and animal shelters have found homes for alltheir pets.
"Which is unconnected to the lack of meat, I'm pretty sure," Homer responds.
