Oh, the Humanity!	comment	Stock Phrase for whenever someone sees something particularly horrible. So horrible, in fact, that you just can't help but shout your horror to the heavens. The phrase originated in 1937, when Herbert Morrison, a reporter for Chicago radio station WLS, witnessed the Hindenburg disaster firsthand while covering what was to be a routine landing in New Jersey, concluding the zeppelin's first transatlantic crossing of the season. Morrison kept reporting as the airship burned, although he was clearly horrified, and, overcome, exclaimed "Oh, the humanity, and all the passengers screaming around here!" ("Humanity" apparently being a term Morrison frequently employed to describe any large gathering of people – in context, immediately prior to the disaster, he had referred to the "mass of humanity" awaiting the ship's arrival, and was expressing concern that they could be injured, rather than appealing to humanity as an abstract concept.) In interviews later, he explained that he'd said it because he thought everyone on board had died. "Oh, the humanity" is actually much older than Morrison, though. It was used in at least one Civil War letter, from Samuel D. Lougheed to his wife Jenny in October of 1862 – talking about all the men who had been killed or were suffering with terrible injuries, he wrote: "O the humanity. O the horrors of war. Truly it may be considered the most cruel and awful scourge which can befall a nation." Today, nearly always Played for Laughs. Not to be confused with Oh God, with the Verbing!.

Oh, the Humanity! / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons seems to have a fondness for this joke: Done in "Lisa the Beauty Queen," when the Duff Beer blimp crashes Kent Brockman mutters "Oh, the humanity... anyway..." and carries on talking as if nothing had happened. Another Simpsons episode has Bart showing off his checkbook flip-book of the Hindenburg crash, with the last check reading, "OH THE HUMANITY" In one episode of The Itchy & Scratchy Show, Scratchy is blown up like a blimp and explodes. A nearby reporter exclaims, "Oh, the hilarity!" In "500 Keys" Chief Wiggum in a low speed blimp chase shouts "Oh the Zoomanity!" after crashing into a Zoomanity billboard.
