Mhhh. There have been better episodes in this season. Not that I don't like clichés about other countries - since the Simpsons are the first to mock about the U.S. when appropriate, that shouldn't bother people from Europe - it's just that most of the jokes are quite mediocre and some of them are just insipid. Whole episode didn't really go into a distinct direction and on some occasions went quite Family-Guy-ish (Smashing the whirlpool, the Potatoe-judge). And making fun of other cultures should always have (and on the Simpsons usually has had) some portions of sympathy for or understanding of it. The whole episode didn't portray Ireland in a very clever, satirical way but seems more like the regular American guy making fun of the Ireland he sees on Hallmark-movies or CNN economy news-broadcasts. And I don't now why, but the German backpackers in an earlier episode were quite more fitting as a mock on Germans than a simple bashing of their language. Even the Oktoberfest guys asking "What have we Germans done to deserve this?" were quite a fierce joke to make, yet still very funny. But whenever the joke aims at something people couldn't help (e.g. their allegedly oh so ugly language - it actually doesn't really sound like that and everybody somehow knows), it's becoming a bit mean and pointless. Like a lousy stand-up comedian fishing for cheap laughs. Quite a long note to that episode, but that's exactly the direction, this great show should not move into. Some funny parts were the Irish IT companies' names and the nice hint at the Irish syntax (don't know why, but this joke worked in contrary to the German language joke). Anyway. Have fun with the Simpsons! :)

Stop posting those chain-letters, everybody knows they're fake. And to the one about the 13 year-old daughter, 3 things are wrong about that,
1. I sleep on a couch
2. I'm staying up all night
3. not to me, but what if someone who lives alone reads it?! IT'S ALL BOLOGNA!!!

i agree with denandu,i mean im scottish and some of the groundskeeper willie jokes about scotland and being scottish could have been insulting for someone who has no sense of humour (and if that is the case why would they watch the simpsons) so why anyone would want to moan about irish stereotypes is beyond me. one thing though denandu,my girlfriend is german too and apparently gas wasser isnt gas water in english but actually fizzy water (or soda if you are american), i think someone else mentions this earlier in comments. anyway thanks so much admin, we cant afford a tv at the moment but i can still watch the simpsons thanks to you guys. keep up the good work!!! also anyone who moans at you guys should try and keep a site going as well as you have,then they wouldnt moan so much i bet lol
