Is there any information on why it is to be broadcasted first in Europe yet? Will there ever be any information or is this just enough? Indianparttime2 ( talk) 03:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
When I watched this episode on TV I noticed a discrepancy between some of the dialog and the captions that I felt was odd. It was in the scene where Homer and Grandpa are drunk and rolling on barrels and fall down (the scene after the one with the blarney stone). Grandpa Says "I just had a Nightmare. That I was back with your mother." and then Homer says "Oh how I miss her." Well I swear to God the captions said "I just had a Nightmare. That I was in England." and then Homer says "Oh how I hate them". I was wondering if anyone else caught this as they seem to have fixed the captions on HULU. It just seemed like a secret message or something. That the episode was based in Ireland would seem to lend credence to this. Lewiscode ( talk) 22:57, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
If anyone wants to add information about German Krusty in this episode, here is the dialogue:
"Heil, heil!" is a reference to "
Heil" used by the
Nazis.
"Ach, Du lieber!" means as much as "oh my god" and is always used when a Simpson character speaks German (especially when
Hitler is on the Simpsons).
"Krusty spritzende Gaswasser" is hard to interpret as it contains incorrect grammar. "Krustys spritzendes Gaswasser" would mean "Krusty's splashy gas water"; "Krusty stritzt Gaswasser" would mean "Krusty splatters gas water". Gas water seems to be a reference to the gas showers in
Nazi concentration camps where gas came out of the shower instead of water.
"Ja, ja" just means "yes, yes".

Article looks very good. Only a few minor concerns and suggestions:
Nice work with the article. You have seven days to make the necessary changes, so good luck :) — 97198 ( talk) 01:38, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
I added in a note about the Derry Air, or Londonderry Air which was its original name. The name of the airline was a pun on the tune of Danny Boy, but it probably went way over the heads of most people. I suspect most people saw it only as a pun on derrière.

Should be noted that in the pub there is clearly the crest of Celtic on the wall and also theres a person in the bar wearing a Celtic FC shirt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.17.232.220 ( talk) 23:36, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
The scene where Tom O'Flanagan watches old video tapes may be a reference to Samuel Becketts "Krapps Last Tape". Beckett actually shows up in Grampas flashback singing with Joyce, Wylde and a white bearded man which could be Bernard Shaw. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.219.84.225 ( talk) 20:11, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
