Goof?

Hoemr states that he loves Marge "More than the butterscotch pond or the porno bush" but he and Marge are the only people alive (emphasised when Marge asks for People magazin)so there cannot be porno. Also, Family Guy stole that idea when God told Adam and Eve not to go anywhere near the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil because there was a bush that had magazines in it.

  • First things first, don't think about things like "how can there be porno when there is only two human beings?" The jokes are less funny that way. Secondly, The Simpsons has done almost everything. Occasionally similar gags might pop up in other shows. That doesn't mean that they ripped them off. In fact, The Simpsons could even be accused of cribbing elements from other material, as well. Don't single out Family Guy for this sort of thing. Finally, this page is for discussing the improvement of the article, not the subject of the article. (Sugar Bear (talk) 15:36, 20 January 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Flaws?

The section "Flaws in the Production", if it's needed at all, should have a different heading - the inaccuracies depicted are deliberate artistic licence and therefore not mistakes as such. MFlet1 (talk) 12:37, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of flaws: Am I the only one who noticed that Ralph killed Goliath (Nelson) but they drove David (Bart) off to Jail for it? 37.3.31.18 (talk) 03:19, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • In the Moses segment, Chief Wiggum resembles Edward G. Robinson's character from The Ten Commandments. In the David and Goliath segment, he again appears, and says "Where's your Messiah now?" like in Homer Loves Flanders from season 5.
  • The scene where Marge/Eve is making tools is similar to a scene in the Dawn of Man sequence from the
    2001: A Space Odyssey
    .
  • Nelson/Goliath falling off the tower parodies the way King Kong falls off the Empire State Building in the 1933 film.
  • While Lisa and Moses/Milhouse are in the pyramid-prison room with the moving spike walls, the Orb of Isis is also in the room, which was featured in an earlier episode, Lost Our Lisa.
  • As the Simpsons go into Hell, the AC/DC song "Highway to Hell" is playing.
  • As Bart/David trains to fight Nelson/Goliath, the Sammy Hagar's song "Winner Takes It All" is playing.
  • Santa's Little Helper talks and calls Bart "Davey", a reference to the show Davey and Goliath.
  • When Bart is attempting to infiltrate the tower, Nelson is heard belching and discards the remains of his meal, which consists of the skeleton of a whale. Bart is mournful as he sees the skeleton of Jonah, who was a friend of his and died inside the whale. In the Bible, Jonah did not die inside the whale, but it was instead sent by God as an unconventional transport to the city of Nineveh; though Bart does say "Oh Jonah, you died the same way you lived, inside of a whale."
  • When Bart believes that he has won the battle after the explosion, Nelson rises from the tower with devilish hair and ominous music plays in the background. This is a reference to the Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria scene from the Disney film "Fantasia".[citation needed]
  • Goliath challenges Bart to attack with "Let's Get It On" - catchphrase of well-known mixed martial arts referee "Big" John McCarthy.
  • During the fight between David and Goliath II, David cuts a lock of Goliath's hair, believing Goliath's strength will be lost like Samson, a different biblical figure.

Wiggums's line is NOT taken from "The Ten Commandments" but rather from Billy Crystal routine ABOUT "The Ten Commandments". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drsruli (talkcontribs) 01:05, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thats Not Right...

'The Flanders ascend into Heaven, but The Simpsons do not (Lisa almost does, but mysteriously changes her mind)'

She doesn't change her mind, Homer grabs her leg and pulls her back down and says 'where do you think you're going, missy?'. I'm just pre-warning everybody before I change it. Dragonixta (talk) 17:15, 22 April 2010 (UTC)Dragonixta[reply]

Comments

Nope, the commentary says it's "Tony British" accent (no, I don't know what it is either).
  • Remove caps in titles on ref numbers 11, 12, and 18
  • Make sure sentences with quotes end with citations
  • Jake MacNeill was also critical, and wrote that the episode "fails to be funny" because it "strays too far from the source material." He added "have you read the bible? That stuff’s funny enough in and of itself." Source?
  • What makes this a reliable source?
Not reliable. Removed.

Thanks for the review! I think I've fixed all the problems now. Queenieacoustic (talk) 10:24, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Your changes look great. Pass for GA. Nice work Ruby2010 comment! 13:41, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Quiet, you!"

No mention of the obvious origin of this quote? Yes, the first part of the joke is from Davey and Goliath, but the second half is from Mr. Peabody & Sherman (a joke already visited in "Treehouse of Horror V"). I was very surprised it wasn't mentioned, but lemme guess: no sources? Drat, if so. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:53, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
