Why broadcast first in Europe?

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)[reply]

It's a special episode. Since it's St. Patrick's day, it's like a tribute I guess. -- A ^talk/_contribs 17:12, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty much, it's also part of the 20th anniversary celebration. On a related note, some episodes of the show have aired on Global in Canada an hour or so before airing in the United States (usually on nights of the Survivor finale, Global pushes The Simpsons to 7). It's nothing major, but it might be worth noting because it would explain why the article just says its the first to air first on Sky1 or in Europe. Does anyone have a reliable source that mentions this? None of the sources I've seen mention it. -- Scorpion O'422 17:21, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Closed Captions

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)[reply]

That's not notable at all. CTJF83Talk 02:04, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

German Krusty

If anyone wants to add information about German Krusty in this episode, here is the dialogue:

Krusty: "Heil, heil"
Mel: "Ach, Du lieber! Krusty spritzende Gaswasser."
Krusty: "Ja, ja - Krusty spritzende Gaswasser."

"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".
