2014 In the Name of the GrandfatherTimes Watched: 1,198,493Comments: 190Rating:
After neglecting his father during a three-legged race, Homer makes it up to Grampa Simpson by taking him to a pub in Ireland, only to learn that pubs aren't popular in Ireland anymore.
they are clearly going north and south of ireland because if you look at the bus it says on it dublin so that is in republic of ireland but they go to giants causeway witch is in northern ireland
We can presume this episode was set in Northern Ireland rather than the Republic or Ireland. Red double Decker buses are British rather than Irish, the Police in this were "police" rather than "garde", and they visited Giants Causeway which is also in the UK rather than Ireland. Although the Irish smoking laws to forbid drinking in pubs, bars restaurants etc, that can just as well be northern Ireland too since smoking in all public places is prohibited in the UK. Quite obviously the writers didn't do there research as I very much doubt this was intended to be set in the UK's part of Ireland.
Admin - yozface11's question was are there any other episodes that were broadcasted on the British satellite tv channel "Sky 1" which was the broadcaster of this episode (as opposed to fox or who ever broadcasts in america), and in answer to the question I havent seen any, but with almost 500 episodes I cant be sure.
My rule when making fun of another nation is basic, its ok as long as its funny.
I'm Irish and I was lookig forward to seeing this episode because I was eager to see how they satirized Ireland, but ... thats nothing like Ireland at all... what the hell is that joke about "German krusty" the irish arent known for using dubbed versions of American tv especially in German! .. why the hell would we! We're IRISH ... and The red busses is an english thing ... I could complain more but I couldnt be arsed! (Irish expression ... we are an eloquent lot)

Oh ya It was kinda cool that Glen Hansard was in it but the "Once" joke was a bit misguided ... but it was delivered by Hansard so I cant complain
