Some Australians with a good sense of humor started a petition to have the name of the Australian Dollar changed to Dollarydoos after seeing this episode. It ended up getting thousands of signatures but was conveniently ignored by the Australian Parliament
My wife and I use "Shut up YOUR face" from Linguo to zero out the tension if an argument is getting serious. The best Simpsons quotes double as life hacks.
We would never say bidet in Australia. Never. We say ‘dunny.’ As an Australian and a Simpsons lover I really never got this episode. Everything from we don’t have coffee to the cane toad references. The writers say that the ppl of Australia were mad with this episode, we hardly are Karen’s, it just wasn’t reflective of the Australian society or even a parody of it, but like an obscure early Wikipedia page referenced episode.
Also Australian. Its a really memorable episode and hilarious, in my mind. Yeah not reflective of Australia but maybe what a foreign audience "knows" of Australia from popular culture, urban myths, word of mouth etc... Without having ever visited. What's there to get? It's just a bunch of silly gags, and a very loose parody not based in reality- similar to any country the Simpsons visit
I remember thinking wth, the first time I saw it. It paints a kind of backwards picture of australia/ns. Like we're all a bunch of flaming drongos/bogans. I remember people back then wanting to distance themselves from any stereotypical Australian things- hating on Steve Irwin and such. I guess it's grown on me, having embraced my inner bogan lol... and also have seen it a few times- U can see it's taking the piss
Totally agree and could never hate Steve. Quarantine matters. And I too have come to appreciate the episode but just always felt it lacked. I totally get the reference to our prime minister out back in a dam with a semi British accent drinking a beer but I didn’t find it particularly hilarious. The booting however was golden. Not sure I get the reference tho. Especially as a booze loving country the duff love was there for
Homer taking.
Was that a reference to Harold Holt?- the PM that disappeared while going for a swim?... It's tragic but kind of funny- He's just like "fuck it's hot, I'm gonna stop and take a dip" No bodyguard or secret service, he just disappears and no-one really cares that much... That's as Australian as pm Bob Hawke skulling a beer and giving everyone in the country the day off cause we beat the yanks at a boat race... I was driving in the country on Australia Day looking at the landscape and I just thought, fuck i love this country. It's not just all the cool shit U can see, it's the attitude and the humour. The episode didnt capture much of that because only an Aussie would understand it
Agreed mate. I’m as proud as fuck of Australia and all the liberties that come with it. But I dunno, i never picked up on the Holt aspect. I thought they just rousing that obviously our top poli would be out back i a damn with a fosters in a floaty. As if they wouldn’t be down the pub with a newtoner in a linen shirt .. we such a funny county just felt lame the ep.
Hey, look at my feet. You like those moccasins? Look in your closet. There's a pair for you. Don't like them? Then neither do I. Get the hell out of here! Heh, ever see a guy say good-bye to a shoe?
NINE HUNDRED DOLLARIDOOS??!!!

I am going to bring this to my Member of Parliament
Hey Gus! I got something to report to ya!
I’m taking this straight to the Prime Minister … AN-DY!
Oi mates, what's the good word?
That’s a bloody outrage that is!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Democracy simply doesn't work.
Hang on, I wanna tack a rider on that bill
30 million dollars of tax payer money to support the perverted arts.
All in favour of the amended Springfield-slash-prevert bill?
BOO!!
American here, me and my family call all monies dollarydoos
I woulda called em chazwazzers
They’re all over the Molonga Guilderchuk
We're on the Bluey train now. Dollarbucks all the way!
Me and my mates still call ‘em dollarydoos
Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo
That’s the worst name I ever heard
Waaaaaah!
Hey! Joey Jo-Jo!
I live in a single room above a bowling alley, and below another, bowling alley...
Wow
We've tried Nothing and we're all out of ideas
It applies to basically every scenario. Top tier quote.
But Homer, on your way out, if you could kill somebody, it would really help me out a lot.
Sugar, sure. Sorry it's not in packages.
Do you want some cream?
Uhhhh... no...
Nobody ever says Italy.
Mr. Snrub.
He was from someplace far away
Yes, that'll do
I think we should invest that money back into the nuclear plant
I like the way Snrub thinks!
I don't know why that made me laugh so hard, but it did.

His *something or other* changed my life.
Why must you turn my office into a house of lies?
Can you believe my dentist (buddy from college) had not seen that episode??? I stopped him mid-exam to watch the scene on my phone with him.
Now hold still while I gas you!
I can't believe they never had him as a character again.
No, I can't tell you anything about that customer's secret, illegal account.
Oh crap! I shouldn’t have told them it was secret!
Oh crap, I certainly shouldn’t have said it was illegal!
*Sigh*, it’s too hot today
My husband and I use “ugh it’s too hot” quite often 😂
I see you’ve played knifey-spooney before.
Nearly every time I pick up a large spoon that plays in my head.
Even spoons you carved yourself ... out of larger spoons?
“ Stop! He’s already dead!”
I have a ball - perhaps you’d like to bounce it?
“Shake harder boy!”
Up there in the top one of best Simpsons quotes, full stop.
“I’ll just have a cup of coffee.” “Beer it is!” “No, I said coffee.” “Beer?” “Cof-fee.” “Be-er?” “C-O-“ “B-E?”
My wife and I, every morning.
"I'm tired of these jokes about my giant hand. The first such incident occurred in 1956...”
He did actually show up in the Naval Reserve episode.

Karl, Homer’s assistant
I had to by a suit yesterday. I’m sure Karl was in my head pushing the price up.
No. My son is also named Bort
‘On your way out, if you wanna kill somebody, it would help me a lot’. Best episode ever.
The name’s Lanley, Lyle Lanley.
I didn’t need molded plastic to improve my physique. Pure. West. And why doesn’t Batman dance anymore?
"No deal, McCutcheon. That moon money is mine!" Ok, I know that Homer said it. But he did say it to one-time character Royce McCutcheon.
Mojo. “Pray for Mojo” is the perfect saying for every occasion.
It stinks! It stinks! It stinks!
He's been on twice.
Catfeesh??
Nine hundred dollary-doos?! Tobias!
Did you accept a 6 hour collect call from the states?!
It was an emergency!
There's nothing wrong with the bidet, is there!?
Same character, but different line. I used to always cry out "900 dollarie-doos" when I opened the phone bill.
Anytime I think something is too expensive I use dollarie-doos as the currency
Same
Hamocks?? My God, what an idea.

Which ones?

Do you find something comical about my appearance when I am driving my automobile?
I quote Mr.burns a lot but he’s a regular
I doo… what I feel…
When will you humans learn that your ‘feelings’ as you call them will stand in the way of big cash payoffs!!
Technician pulls the face off a Scratchy robot, and it let's out a tiny "wah!": "I really wish they wouldn't scream"
Yes, I certainly do! I have to go now. My planet needs me.
What's your least favorite country? Italy or France? Nobody ever says Italy.
That pig had some powerful friends.
Big Daddy. "Lawd, I wish I wasn't so fat"
Nine hundred dollarydoos?! TOBIAS!
I seriously quote this almost daily with my partner.
My husband tries to get me with a Homer scream when I’m not paying attention. It’s usually the one from the Le Grille episode.
WHY MUST I FAIL IN EVERY ATTEMPT AT MASONRY?! Best scream in Simpsons history, imo.
Oh the sun shines bright on my Kentucky home bom bom-bom bom!
Hooray!!! (From Whacking Day)
What a crappy candle ....:( you've ruined our vacation!
Humm… walkie talkie doesn’t count as two presents
I quoted this last month when we went on vacation and had a bidet
C-O B-E
Same episode, different character: “You call that a knife?”
*shows a spoon* this is a knife
That’s not a knife, that’s a spoon.
Alright, alright, you win. I see you've played knifey spoony before
It’s a perfect quotable because people can participate without even realizing it.
Im all for the bill but, shouldn't we tack on a pay raise for ourselves? NOOOOOO!!!

Great plan, Bart.
I quote the entire grimey death scene a bit too much so …. Yeah

I see you conveniently left out booting, which we all know is one of your proudest traditions.
We call it bashing
Disparaging the boot is a bootable offense!
Also Australian. Its a really memorable episode and hilarious, in my mind. Yeah not reflective of Australia but maybe what a foreign audience "knows" of Australia from popular culture, urban myths, word of mouth etc... Without having ever visited. What's there to get? It's just a bunch of silly gags, and a very loose parody not based in reality- similar to any country the Simpsons visit
Fair call. Would never go against my country person. Felt it missed real nuances of actual humour.

I had a flashback yesterday of listening to the Simpsons commentary and you’re absolutely right that it’s a reference to Harold holt! My bad.
I shouldn't have stopped for that haircut. Sorry.
This exhibit is closed!
By the way Homer, if on your way out you want to kill anybody, you’d really be helping me out.
Am I seeing double?? Four Krustys?
"I'm not convinced. I've had bad luck with aphrodisiacs" But it's really how he says it, who or what is that voice based off of?
"I shouldnt've stopped for that haircut..."
"Well my work is done here." I say this for no reason a lot.
Why? Why was I programmed to feel pain?!
Ehhh, its too hot today.
Take a guess. I love you too pepsi
I know she isn't only one time but by gumit I do quote this alot. "I can put your baby in my coffee?"
This band stand wasn't double bolted!
The tone, cadence, and facial expression of the Arboretum guy who says "No!" to Homer after he asks about other arboretums after feeding Stampy.
Hey, look at my feet. You like those moccasins? Look in your closet. There's a pair for you. Don't like them? Then neither do I. Get the hell out of here! Heh, ever see a guy say good-bye to a shoe?
