@Exzone

Sure it makes sense. Not much but i can understand it. (Im from Austria) But the grammar is very wrong ;-)

Krusty: Hallo Hallo ;Hello hello
Mel: Mein Lieber....Krusty spritzen mit Gaswasser ; Good grief!....Krusty is splashing with Gaswater!
(Please dont ask me what is gaswasser. Its even not a german word. Hey Exzone, do you know what they mean? Benzin? Mineralwasser?
And with a right grammer it should be: Mein Lieber, Krusty spriTZT MIT DEM GASWASSER!)

Krusty: Jaja, Krusty spritzen die Gaswasser. (its again wrong! right: Krusty spritZT MIT DEM GASWASSER)
in english: Yeah Yeah, Krusty is splashing with the gaswater...


Okay, you are right. It does not make any sense at all, but its funny ;-)

Kris88 - the references to "corned beef and cabbage" most likely come from the writers' admiration of George McManus and his comic strip "Bringing Up Father". That said, at least they didn't include the complete reference "off to Dinty Moores for some corned beef and cabbage" - Hormel [the makers of SPAM] marketed a Dinty Moores beef stew.

That said, those of you in North America not recognizing the irony of the show's theme, might want to read "A Pint of Plain" by Bill Barich. Too bad that the pubs in the UK are disappearing too.
