Timmy O'Toole[edit]

Given the naming conventions used by Matt Groening, what is the likelyhood that the name Timmy O'Toole came from Patrick O'Toole of Mill Ends Park lore? BalooUrsidae 05:57, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mention should be made of the Kang (or Kodos) skeleton revealed to also be underground, one of the few appearances made by the alien not on Halloween... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 (talk) 02:29, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is this Bart's only 10th birthday?[edit]

Because Lisa has had at least 3 8th birthdays.--Greasysteve13 05:34, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Episode Allusions[edit]

Shouldn't this section be, like all Wikipedia entries, in third person? I don't believe it should express the authors opinion either, rather objectively state the facts which, in this case especially, speak for themselves. --kevin.doyle 21:56, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pubwebmaster 00:30, 4 August 2007 (UTC)== Jessica McClure/Ace in the Hole? ==[reply]

The article says this episode was inspired by the Baby Jessica incident. What's the basis for that? On the commentary, the writers say the whole thing comes very directly from Billy Wilder's movie "Ace in the Hole." They never mention McClure.

Having watched "Ace in the Hole", I agree that there are similarities between the plot of this episode and the film. Billy Wilder's film has a band performing a song about the guy stuck in the cave at one point. Pubwebmaster 00:30, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Were sending our love down the well[edit]

The way it was put across in the episode sounded far more similar to Band Aid's Feed the World even down to the way Krusy gets the idea from watching it on TV and feeling sad so he calls his freind, in the way that Bob Geldof after watching a BBC television news report from famine-stricken Ethiopia. Geldof was so moved by the plight of starving children that he decided to try and raise money using his contacts in pop music. It was also done before USA for africa.

I just see more mirrors in that than I do with USA for Africa. Alexsau1991 (talk) 18:28, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
