While this section in the infobox shows up on the edit page, it doesn't show up on the actual page (or at least it doesn't work on my computer). Does anyone know how to fix this? Cowmeister88 23:53, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
I`m reverting the article to the previous one with the quotes section, I dont think iy should be eliminated-- ometzit<col> 15:18, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Someone added this text as a reference for Krusty xxx stand-up comedy and I think it can be true, but another user classified as vandalism and reverted it. Is it or is it not?
Krusty the Klown appears as a performer in the casino doing an apparently "Adult-Oriented" act. He sings the lines "Herpes bo-berpes fee-fi-fo-ferpes" which disgusts the crowd. This is probably a reference to comedian Andrew Dice Clay who often incorporated explicit versions of nursery rhymes into his stand-up act-- ometzit<col> 12:15, 31 March 2007 (UTC)-- ometzit<col> 12:15, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
It might be best to replace 'This is probably a reference to...' with 'this may be reminiscent of...' to make the comment more diplomatic. NIN ( talk) 14:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Because I own the season 5 disc I've added a deleted scenes paragraph. Okay? Pacguy19 01:32, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
In the episode, Kent Brockman reports, "Scott, things aren't as happy as they used to be down here at the unemployment office. Joblessness is no longer just for philosophy majors. Useful people are starting to feel the pinch." [1] This appears to be self-mocking humor, since creator Matt Groening is said to have studied philosophy as an undergraduate at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington.

At the end of the episode, Homer claims to once having let in an escaped lunatic, because he was dressed like Santa. I remember seeing a film from like the 60's, years ago, where a little girl lets in an escaped lunatic (because he was dressed as Santa) and the escapee kills the girl's mother. Homer's line seems to be a reference to that, however, I don't remember the name of the movie. All I remember is that the film was about a group of recently deceased, who got together and told how they died.-- User:coq87rouge Coq87rouge ( talk) 22:19, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Beyond Hughes, I think this influence on Burns' character should also mentioned: Upson Pratt, from the film "Creepshow."
