Microcosmic God[edit]

"Genisis Tub" is very similar to "Microcosmic God" by Theodore Sturgeon. Should this be mentioned?JMack 15:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

South Park Ep called Simpsons Already Did It, Butters noted the ep and Chef then points out that they in turn borrowed their ideas from elsewhere, like the The Twilight Zone. --Brown Shoes22 (talk) 18:07, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fairly certain there's also a Stanislaw Lem short story in The Cyberiad that's very similar. 98.218.23.114 (talk) 15:39, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Citizen Kang was also a 1992 Avengers crossover[edit]

A 1992 Avengers crossover also had this title.

- The season 8 preview page says 'Bart discovers he has an evil twin' Shouldn't this be 'The Thing and I – Bart discovers he is an evil twin.

Missing Quotes[edit]

I can't believe it's been 11 years and I still remember these lines from "Citizen Kang".

Kodos: "All Hail, President Kang!"

Marge: "I don't understand why we are building a laser to destroty a planet we've never heard of."

Homer: "Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos."

Homer's quote should definitely be added to the article considering the bumper stickers in the earily 1990's that said "Don't blame me. I voted for Bush."

--Bushido Hacks 14:47, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We don't have quotes in articles anyway, they are for Wikiquote. Gran² 14:54, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hugo's Scar[edit]

Should I add this or not. If you watch the episode Hugo's scar is on the right side meaning he was actually the left twin. But in the end they say it was Bart?Greanak 17:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hugo's Scar[edit]

Cultural reference[edit]

A cultural reference which is omitted is the honor movie Basket Case which is parodied in the segment The Thing and I. 107.221.229.121 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:19, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"bout is displeasure"[edit]

Can someone explain what this sentence means? I don't think I've ever heard the word "bout" used like this before.

"prompting a bout of displeasure from Ross Perot" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.222.4.148 (talk) 20:03, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

GAR[edit]

Article that has aged if we compare it with the approved version, we can see that it had better information and references. Now this is missing starting the "Cultural References" section has no references, the "Rececion" no longer has as many reviews as before. It deserves to be reviewed in a GAR for the aforementioned reasons. 2801:1CA:E:1411:39F3:EA25:FFA9:63BD (talk) 19:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
