It's easy to make fun of this because Katzenberg came up with Quibi, but you could also make fun of it because he wanted Steve Martin to voice Goofy in A Goofy Movie and just do his normal voice

2 dead in Michigan from Taylor Farms lettuce. 1.7M+ contaminated eggs at Kroger. 3 dogs sick from Oma's Pride dog food. E. coli berries in 8 states.
This is what happens when the FDA can't act before the harm — and victims can't sue after.
All thanks to The Roberts Court.

It is a revelation to my students that the cultural phenomenon of "male celebrity that teenage girls love because he's sexy but coded as a bit effeminate, and that their dads hate for the same reason, which makes the girls love him even more" is literally a century old.
July 18, 1926: An editorial in the Chicago Tribune calls into question Rudolph Valentino’s masculinity, just as his latest film “The Son of the Sheik” is about to go into wide release. The piece somehow draws a link from “pink powder puffs” dispensed in a men’s bathroom to the romantic hero. 1/4
