"But all the monsters are rich old men".
- Literally just like scooby doo
  
  Except theres no pedophilia or death camps in svooby doo. They don't try to brainwash people into being nazis in scooby doo.
- Hey, some of them are women. And of course there's Zuck, who is a robot lizard pretending to be a not-particularly-old man.

Yo this shit so funny bro

Is this a reference to something or just some hilarious surreal nonsense.
- It's a rather flamboyant, but famous, translation of a quote of Antonio Gramsci:
  The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.
  Italian original:
  La crisi consiste appunto nel fatto che il vecchio muore e il nuovo non può nascere: in questo interregno si verificano i fenomeni morbosi piú svariati.
  A more literaral English translation:
  The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.
