This dialogue makes me cringe.

The really cringing dialogue was from Willard Scott.

According to http://www.snpp.com/episodes/7F07.html, this already happened on the Simpsons. Years ago!

Bart doesn't recognize Bullwinkle or Underdog and complains that they ought to use "cartoons made in the last fifty years.''

   Son, this is a tradition.  If they start building a balloon for
every
   flash-in-the-pan cartoon character, you'll turn the parade into a
FARCE.

Actually, she didn't write that dialogue - all of the float dialogue is pre-written. You should have heard Willard Scott read pretty much the same thing a year or two later.
