What is the first song that Cypress Hill performs when they report the missing child??? --FUN WIT AHMED, DUDEZ (talk) 19:20, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Yesterday I saw a brief clip on TV. It was in black and white and matched the slow-mo scene in which Homer gets shot with the cannonball and tumbles into the cushion thing behind him. I've been searching the web for a while but was not able to find that clip nor the name of that person. I assume it has been shot in the beginning of the 20th century...
Does anyone know about this? da_baitsnatcha

Yes, the shot of Homer is based on famous stock footage of a man getting shot in the stomach with a cannon. You probably won't be able to find it on the Internet. -- Scorpion0422 11:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi came across this, pretty sure he's the guy, even found a video of him on youtube.

The lead is too short, the Plot Summary image superflous as it doesn't show the main point of the episode being Homer with a cannon, and the Cultural references should be prosified with the Hidden Jokes. Wiki-newbie 17:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't think enough work has been done since it's last GA nom. An example of a good episode article is Trapped in the Closet (South Park). Please do not renominate until you have genuinely addressed the concerns. If you are unsure, then it is probably best for you to go to Wikipedia:Peer review to get detailed feedback.

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of January 27, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: C-  prose needs improvement, mainly in the plot synopsis. Ex."After examining his fall from being cool, Homer decides to get tickets to the Hullabalooza festival to prove he's cool again." could be rewritten as: After realizing that he is no longer cool, Homer buys tickets to the Hullabalooza festival to prove that he is still cool. The original sentence is too dense (also "he's" is a contraction that should be removed)
2. Factually accurate?: A
3. Broad in coverage?: A
4. Neutral point of view?: A
5. Article stability? A
6. Images?: B+ a picture of Homer getting hit with the cannonball would be best
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far.Grhs126studenttalk 01:02, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I was watching this episode and at the end scene where the Smashing Pumpkins are walking away, the shot goes from above. If you look at the four of them, you can only see them from behind except it doesn't even look like the same people. Where Jimmy Chamberlain was there's now a guy with blonde hair and where Billy Corgan was there's some guy with red hair.
What's up with that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lady Hand Grenade (talk • contribs) 03:34, 3 February 2007 (UTC).

I was asked to give some feedback for this article:  I'm delighted that TV episode articles are coming along.  This one has some of the same problems 'Round Springfield recently had regarding organization.  First there's this header called "Episode notes", which I don't understand.  It's a step up from "Trivia" but it's still an invitation for an indiscriminate collection of info.  I'd do away with it and make "Production" a main heading.  Much of what follows is production info anyway.  The Courtney Love info and No Doubt info could be joined with much of the other info regarding who was selected to appear in the episode- sort of like "Casting", although the No Doubt info relates to "Animation" since their voices apparently weren't used.  "Animation" would be a better header for that section than "Hidden jokes" which struck me as odd since there was only one and it would be better characterized as a "Hidden in-joke".

Thanks for the feedback. I merged all the sections, and now there is a casting section, soundtrack section and the research note? What do you think of the summary? Is it too small? And, some feedback on the reception would be nice because I thought it could use clean up. -- Scorpion 16:52, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
The reception section is IMO OK.  I try to avoid IMDb reviews but in cases like this I'm not a hardliner, unlike some.  I looked at the ref for the ratings, though, and thought there was some useful interpretation (ie., that most people didn't bother to watch the episode) and some useful context (what they watched instead at the time, by which I mean during the week in question, for example the X Files).

Note that footnote 11 is now invisible. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 03:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

This article is well-written, comprehensible and the structure is clear at first reading. It's well-referenced, accurate and verifiable. It also follows the neutral point of view policy.  Armando.O  (talk|contribs) 14:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Frampton sees that Homer ruined his pig, but later he tries it anyway. Did he just forget?

Most likely, as he then immediately says Homer took his pig, Cypress Hill his orchestra, and Sonic Youth his hamper. Unknown Temptation (talk) 10:50, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

There is an error here - the X-Files episode mentioned in the rating section actually aired on Friday night at 9, not Sunday on the "same night" as the Simpons "Homerpalooza" episode.

That's not what the source says. -- Scorpion0422 21:55, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't know where to put this in, so I'll leave it up to someone else to decide...

Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth claimed the episode was "one of our biggest claims to fame"

In your production description, you say "some random guy" called brent forrester a narc, when in fact he was called a narc because he was seen taking notes on his dictaphone. I'm editing the article to reflect this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.210.30.118 (talk) 13:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC) 

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards, MASEM 22:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

It is time to add the Cypress Hill-London Symphony Orchestra fusion to the list of predictions coming true made by The Simpsons. This article from Rolling Stone can be used in the article as confirmation, and here's the page on LSO's website with the announcement. ElMeroEse (talk) 02:34, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

That's not a prophecy or prediction at all. One would presume that both Cypress Hill (who featured in the episode) and the orchestra would have been aware of the joke beforehand (at least once in 28 years) and organised the performance in reference to the episode. Wikipedia is not the place for tabloid claims of premonition or other supernatural phenomena. Unknown Temptation (talk) 10:48, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

It has been a while since this article was reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:

The lead does not mention the episode's reception by critics.
The "Reception" section has multiple one-sentence statements. This should be formatted more effectively.
The "Cultural references" section has a "trivia" yellow banner that should be resolved.
Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 16:35, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
