I double-checked to make sure I wasn’t repeating myself from five years ago! Firstly, I want to kick off with yet another link from the fine folks at Mental Floss, many of the facts they divulge aren’t new if you’ve watched the DVDs with commentaries.
So what’s my big memory or insight? Well, as the link states, I remember Jose laughing at Bart doing the old playground ditty of Batman smells to “Jingle Bells.” Then his roommate and mutual friend Phil did the whole verse. This surprised Jose because we guessed that they don’t sing this in Puerto Rico and it didn’t translate into Spanish.
The Onion did a spiel on good Christmas episodes too. Beyond their debut, my favorite isn’t “Marge Be Not Proud,” but “Miracle on Evergreen Terrace” thanks to Lisa trying to strangle Bart when the truth was revealed.
