Talk:In the Name of the Grandfather

Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
Revision as of 14:31, January 12, 2010 by 89.245.216.19 (talk)

Here is something I already wrote on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:In_the_Name_of_the_Grandfather#German_Krusty):

  • Krusty: "Heil, heil"
  • Mel: "Ach, Du lieber! Krusty spritzende Gaswasser."
  • Krusty: "Ja, ja - Krusty spritzende Gaswasser."

"Heil, heil!" is a reference to "Heil" used by the Nazis.
"Ach, Du lieber!" means as much as "oh my god" and is always used when a Simpson character speaks German (especially when Hitler is on the Simpsons).
"Krusty spritzende Gaswasser" is hard to interpret as it contains incorrect grammar. "Krustys spritzendes Gaswasser" would mean "Krusty's splashy gas water"; "Krusty stritzt Gaswasser" would mean "Krusty splatters gas water". Gas water seems to be a reference to the gas showers in Nazi concentration camps where gas came out of the shower instead of water.
"Ja, ja" just means "yes, yes".

Cool, nice work, i'll add it in now.--Sgtcook 10:35, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
I wonder if the Nazi-interpretation is intended. Krusty in a much older episode (Like Fathcer like Clown?) called it the Seltzer-gag. German word for Seltzer is Selters which is sparkling water - that sometimes is refered to as water with gas. The french call it gazeuse and mean no other gas than carbon dioxide. -- 217.230.144.81 21:15, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

I did edit the part with the gaswasser, cause noboby here in germany says "gaswasser". It's called "mineralwasser" or just "wasser".
