Jamie's Mom?[edit]

"Marge: I got the tickets fair and square and without losing my dignity. Not like Jamie's mom." This is a reference to Malcolm in the Middle, where Jamie was the youngest child of Lois, who had a tendency to do exactly what Marge described." I'm 90% sure this is wrong. I've always heard it as "Janey's Mom", talking about Janey Powell, and even if it is Jamie, that reference is a stretch. Unless there's a source for it, I say it should be removed.

I agree. I always thought Marge was referring to Janey's mother. Sillygostly 04:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree, I think that reference to Malcom in the middle is to vague, and Janey makes more sense. T0mm0 18:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC) Why would it be Janey? Janey is Lisa's age, so her mom wouldn't need Roofi tickets. On the other hand, at the time this aired, Jamie Wilkerson was Maggie's age and would likely listen to Roofi. --Jnelson09 21:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i used subtitles it says janey's mom sailor cuteness-ready for love 18:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The subtitles are wrong. Seriously, why would it be Janey? --Jnelson09 22:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why would it be Janey?? --Jnelson09 23:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why would it be Janey??? Is anyone going to tell me why it would be Janey???? I DEMAND YOU TELL ME WHY IT WOULD BE JANEY!!!!! --Jnelson09 03:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC) Wow, you are retarded. Of course it's Janey's mom.[reply]

You seem to be the only person who thinks it has anything to do with MITM. Also, who's to say Janey doesn't have a baby sister? That makes a heck of a lot more sense than the vague thing you're proposing. Andrew Levine 04:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Um, IF it is a reference to Malcolm, which I know it ISN'T, that is such a stretch that no one in the audience except you would understand it. It's Janey's mom and that's that. Tamajared (talk) 19:47, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, why would Janey suddenly have a younger sibling out of nowhere? I can't be the only one who sees the Malcolm in the Middle connection here. --Jnelson09 22:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you are. --Rubber cat 06:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, no need to be narrow-minded. --Jnelson09 18:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is also the idea that it could be some toddler called Janey and the writers forgot they already had a character with that name. Wimpyguy (talk) 00:04, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Giuliani bit[edit]

While watching this episode a few days ago on FOX, I noticed that the Giuliani part was removed. Was this done as a result of protest, or simply to fit more commercials in? --CrazySunShine 21:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Amusing Phrasing[edit]

"a tearful Milhouse watches the "R" in a sign getting turned around to its correct orientation with arched eyebrows and a blubbery lip" ...this isn't the first time I've seen phrasing like this on Wiki. Always amusing. Just think of the poor sign with its eyebrows and blubbery lip!

I hope most people here immediately see the problem with the phrasing, and understand why I changed it. Those of you who don't understand should go read Strunk and White. Kilyle 21:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That part has been removed now, but it would have been worth mentioning that that scene is a parody of the photograph on the right. Also, Roofi is a parody of Raffi, which could still be mentioned. 62.145.19.66 (talk) 05:29, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just added a link to Raffi. -- wr 87.139.81.19 (talk) 11:08, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Irwin Censorship[edit]

Has the US edited out the opening scene of this episode when aired in syndication? Or has any other country for that matter? Just curious. Sillygostly 04:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The UK has not. T0mm0 18:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Song at the beginning of the concert[edit]

Someone please tell me the name of that song that played after marge said "It's as if a concert promoter acted unscrupulously!"

Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones. --Jnelson09 20:35, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PPASSCCATAG[edit]

It's not really a disease is it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 23:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Nope. --Jnelson09 18:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

War of the Worlds[edit]

Marge says something at the end which reminds me of the end of War of the Worlds, what was that now again? 81.233.196.49 (talk) 12:07, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural References; King of the Hill[edit]

There needs to be a separate Cultural References section to highlight the parts about Roffi and Woodstock. Something else that could be included in the section was a joke about King of the Hill, when Bart and Lisa were arguing, they accidentally changed the channel to one that the showing the aforementioned show where Hank says, “Bobby, I got propane in my urethra”. 2601:644:9381:6C50:69A5:DF20:4009:A3F4 (talk) 21:58, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
