Hmmm. First it says their singing voices were performed by N*Sync, then by someone else. BaHaReep 02:49, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Re to the voices: Yeah I changed that. Its always been assumed NSYNC did the voices but thats not true. 2 members from Lou Pearlman's other band ( Natural) did the voices of Milhouse and Nelson and the other 2 are unknown. These were uncredited but widely reported on their official site. It seems to sync up because if you listen to any of their recordings (my suggestion 'Put your arms around me'; Marc (Nelson) sings the first verse and J (Milhouse) sings the second one) you will note the voices have to be theirs otherwise its quite a similiarity!

Is there a Breaking Away reference in this? Bart wears an Italian shirt and speaks in cod-Italian like Dave Stoller from the film - have just caught this episode now so if someone can check this out I'd be grateful. User:Mippy

Oh, let's not forget "New Kids on the Blecch" is also a reference to another episode, where Bart was in New York City and went to the Mad headquarters and overhears someone say something like, "Get me Kaputnik on the Phonebone, I want to talk about next week's 'New Kids on the Bleccch'.." OK, don't quote me on it..Dan Carkner 16:55, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The quote is "Get me Kaputnik and Phoneboe. I want to see the drawings for The New Kids on the Bleech."  (Yay season 9 DVDs). Adam 16:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Syndication after 9/11?
Someone edited in that 'after 9/11 this episode was briefly pulled from syndication because it features some towers in NY being blown up (though not the twin towers)'. Ive heard this before but I dont have any proof of it. I remember watching this episode on my FOX network on 09/12 or 09/13 of 2001 and I did wonder if it was appropriate or not. But I know I seen it! Anyone else have any help on this subject? User:Thegingerone

Bloodhound Gang song Ralph Wiggum, an obvious reference to the Simpsons. They use the lyric "yvan eht nioj", at least as I hear it. It fits the overall theme of the song, so it's possible, but anybody have any sources, or a lyric sheet?

To answer your old question Thegingerone. I'm pretty sure syndicated airings (at least shortly after 9/11) of New Kids o the Blecch only cut the part where the Mad Magazine headquarters (which was only one building in the episode by the way) gets blown up by a missile. --JCC the Alternate Historian (talk) 19:55, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Goofs
Would it be possible to have a pronunciation that humans can read and (gasp!) pronounce for "yvan eht nioj", rather than this incomprehensible "IPA" nonsense? I'd change it to a more standard transliteration myself, but I haven't seen the episode and I do not know how it is pronounced. -- BBlackmoor (talk) • 2007-03-06 00:38Z

Trivia
It appears as though the tattoo "LT Smash" has on his chest is of the battleship New Jersey, BB-62. -- MurrayHenson 22:17, 05 February 2024 (UTC)

Why is the trivia section labelled with a notice to integrate those points into other sections of the article? What is wrong with having a trivia section?--Tiberius47 08:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

The notice provides several links that shall help you to understand why basically, Trivia sections are unencyclopedic. Try in future to fit these things in under appropriate existing sections of page, or grouping them in your own new sections. Remember that some things shall be deemed irrelavant, and not everything about an episode of a TV show and what it relates to needs to be mentioned. My example will not necessarily be well received, but it is closer to what Wikipedia want from an article. I hope I have not come across as rude, as I am only trying to help you here. Be well and enjoy Wikipedia as I do. Madslocodemente 04:35, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Trivia clean-up.
I have taken the liberty of intergrating some of the Trivia pieces into the article. However the following I could not place:
 * In the episode "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson", Bart visits the office of MAD magazine and Alfred E. Neuman leans out of an office door and demands a progress report on an article named "New Kids on the Blecch," which is the title of this episode. Both episodes involve New York City, MAD magazine, and the phrase "New Kids on the Blecch".


 * A similar plot line happened in an issue of the Simpsons comic book. Three major differences are Homer is making the Boy Band, Todd Flanders and Roy are part of the band (Milhouse is absent, even though he "decorated Homer's hubcaps with his toothbrush") and they are called "Five from 'Field." Additional names considered were "The Buttkick Boys" (Nelson), "Bart and The Others" (Bart), "AAAAYYYYYYYY" (Roy), "The Shelbyville Rockers" (Ralph), and "The 5 Wise Men" (Todd). Also mentioned is the existence of a book called "Talent, Schmalent: How to Build your own Boy Band."

Anyone who wishes to fit these somewhere would be appreciated, otherwise they don't really fit in. Cheers, Madslocodemente 04:28, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * This marks the second appearance of Otto's father, who is also the superior officer of L.T. Smash and responsible for "Project Boyband". In "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge", he berates Otto for not amounting to much (though he may be pleased as Otto signs up to the navy in this episode due to the subliminal messaging).

Reference
I Think this episode has a reference to the movie Suicide Club but it was not mentioned in the article. I'm not sure but I hope someone checks this out. Nahid 12 Jun 2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.66.190.62 (talk) 01:18, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
