Talk:Treehouse of Horror XV

"Goofs" Goof
Speaking of goofs, who the f*** had the, uh, initiative, to do this? What kind of sick person watches the Simpsons, and checks how many buttons they've got on their coats, or how often they shave, etc.? And especially, on that last comment... What is your problem?! You were measuring the breast size of a cartoon character?! Why can't you just buy a magazine, or something (or possibly consider how close the shot was to her), you poor, lonely bastard?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by WAS (talk • contribs)
 * I'm not gonna go as far as insulting the contributer(s) for the "Goofs" section, but I think most (if not all) of the goofs should be removed. None are really important enough to mention. -Buzda 09:01, 7 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I didn't notice the buttons on the coat or anything else but the breast size thing was a pretty obvious difference. it was like watching the episode Large Marge. If you couldn't see the difference or you didnt think it was worth commenting on you must be pretty retarded.


 * I dont know who would but it should be mentioned if someone does do that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.174.135.175 (talk • contribs)


 * As far as goofs such as the number of buttons etc are concerned, I reguarly notice these just while casually watching an episode. They are often very obvious and doesn't require someone actually counting buttons to make sure the number doesn't change. DarkSideOfTheSpoon 16:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Lose the trivia section
Please see WP:Trivia and Avoid trivia sections in articles L0b0t 02:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No. get stuffed. Trivia sections are an integral part of the episode. If i ever see something i dont get then i come to wikipedia and it explains the cultural reference or parody.

Quality Standards tag
I have removed the quality stadards tag after recategorizing the trivia & cultural references sections. This episode appears to be relatively consistent with the others. If someone adds the heading again, could they please reference what the specific problem is (other than the # of buttons on Ned's vest :)SkierRMH 07:57, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Cultural reference
at the beginning, when the "Keeping it Kodos" segemnt ends and the episode title is shown, and the alien tentacle hammers the roman numerals in the stone. this is clearly a reference to a show from past years, but i don't know what. perhaps we could find out and put it in a Cutural References section PowderedToastMan 09:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

The Ned Zone/The Twilight Zone
Could someone take a look at the Twilight Zone episode The Purple Testament? Someone there claimed that ToH:XV referenced TPT. The section is badly worded. As I haven't seen ToX:XV myself, I don't feel comfortable doing a rewrite. samwaltz 19:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Happiness is a warm poppy

 * It was not an unsorced speculative theory. In my edition of The Comeplete Peanuts 1959-1960 there is clearly a strip where Lucy hugs Snoopy and comments "Happiness is a warm puppy!". Also, in 1962, there was a book written in 1962 that also is the same quote. Is there any evidence that against "Happiness is a warm poppy" was a reference to "Happiness is a warm puppy"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.103.11.210 (talk) 21:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC).


 * To say that the writers based that particular line of dialogue on a Peanuts comic is speculation unless you have a reliable 3rd party source that says The Simpsons writers based that line on the Peanuts strip. Please see WP:OR, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:WAF, WP:EPISODE, and WP:AVTRIV.  Cheers. L0b0t

Belly of the boss cultural reference
I believe there's connections to the book Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain by Isaac Asimov in "the belly of the boss". In the book American and Russian scientists uses a vehicle in microscopic dimensions to enter a scientists brain via the bloodlines.
