What's everyone's problem? I'm glad we're stranded. It'll be just like the Swiss Family Robinson, only with more cursing. We're gonna live like kings. Damn hell ass kings!
— The Simpsons ‧ 1989

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker brushes off everyone's gloom and recasts being stranded as an adventure, comparing it to a famous castaway story, only ruder. The boast about living like kings is cheerful bravado, inflating a bad situation into something grand and swaggering, with crude emphasis for extra swagger.
