Talk:Üter

imho üter is swiss in the german version of the simpsons just because you can't speak german with a german accent. he's absolutely not fitting to the stereotypes germans got about swiss. i think a bavarian accent would have matched much better. and: any (not so dumb) german does connect especially the lederhosen to the steroetypes about germans.
 * Üter is probably categorized as Swiss in the German version because he is a stereotype, and some Germans might find a spoiled, fat, chocolate-eating, lederhosen-wearing child to be a little offensive. --Merovingian (t) (c) ( e ) 10:25, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I for one think its weird that he should be Swiss. In that case, his father would work in a bank, and have higher wages per Swiss Francs for living abroad. Although the Swiss Franc was 70 US-Cents back then, the wages would be high. His father would enjoy greater spendingpower with local USD. Uter would wonder where to get chocolate from Switzerland, and not bung in his gob any chocolate he could smell. He would eat less chocolate brownies than all else in his school. As for being Swiss, he would see the concept of National Service as a real concern. He may choose to clear himself of any military obligation, as such is also to show concern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stat-ist-ikk (talk • contribs) 01:01, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

it´s never actualy said that üter is swiss, but his accent just sounds swiss in the german version and the choco-eating is implied to be a swiss beheaveior (at least in germany...)

It should be added, that Üter (or Uter) is no common name in Germany or Switzerland. Maybe the show's writers mistook the name for "Günter" which is quite popular with middle-aged to old German men. Üter's iodine deficite would support the notion that he is from the mountains (i.e. the Alps). March 1st, user:prorokini

His Name
Although his name isn't in common usage in Germany, the name still exists if the character is called it, a name only does not exist when nobody in the world, fictional or non-fictionall is called it. Leonardo2505

German dub
From memory it seems that they pronounced him "Uter" and not "Üter" in the German dub, can anyone verify? (131.130.121.106 01:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC))

Yes, this is perfectly true, I've watched lots of German dubbed episodes. Üter is always pronounced "Uter", also in "Uterbraten" which also rhymes with "Puterbraten" (roast turkey). Üter also sounds a bit like "Günter", a name mostly popular with men 60+. -- Prorokini 21:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Chronology
It's perplexing as to why they make reference to the episode The PTA Disbands, which aired around 1996, in the episode Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner, which aired 1999. Uter, since the PTA episode had been seen several times, in examples cited in the article. The way the article is written, it makes it seem that GWCCD airs before the other episodes, like 22 Short Films About Springfield.

Deletion
I say this article should be deleted. Uter is a very obscure character who doesn't deserve his own page. Edrigu 20:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)


 * If you believe the article should be deleted, then you should suggest it under WP:AFD, but I doubt you'll have much success. The topic is notable enough for a 600+ words text, so there is obviously enough to say about it. — Mütze 21:15, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I looked it up today, and good thing this page was here. atleast it has served 1 purpose.  no deletion

true, DO NOT DELETE THIS...please :)
