The epsisode is- Tis The Fifteenth Season.

lenny and homer are secret santas, lenny gives homer a dvd player, homer forgets that lenny is his secret santa, everyone thinks homer is greedy, so he becomes extra nice, and then ned flanders becomes jealous of him being so nice, and he tries to be nicer, so they have like a 'NICE OFF"

Matt Groening does have his ties to the punk rock scene. He worked in Licorse Pizza(sp?) a store in California that was a punk hangout. Also he was friends with Kick Boy Face and some of the other early punk rockers.

Matt is also a big fan of Black Flag. At the end of "Bender shouldn't be allowed on Television" the cast sing the first verse of "TV Party"


Groening also likes the reggae band Steel Pulse and reviewed them back when he worked at a paper or college journal, one of those.. so he definitely likes cool music! wouldn't be surprised if he liked the pogues & shane.

I think I remember that. I will have to look out for The Simpsons' Shane reference. :thumbup:


I don't watch futurama but my partner is a big fan, he may remember it.

God, I never realized that. I just watched the episode tonight and you are friggin' right! Could it be that Matt Groening is a Pogues fan?

EDITED: I rewatched "'Tis The 15th Season" Simpsons episode the other day and there's no Shane mention. The talking astrolabe says, "Today is the birthday of our lord Jesus Christ, and singer Barbara Mandrell." Although this is probably not the first time Shane MacGowan and Barbara Mandrell have been confused.

Post by Mr. Joyce Thu Feb 16, 2006 10:18 pm

Anyone have "Tis the Fifteenth Season" recorded? It's the Chirstmas episode where Homer buys the talking astrolabe for himself, Mr. McGrew, etc. Found a reference to this on http://www.poguetry.com/mentions.htm - anyway, that was the 2003 Simpsons Christmas episode, and it would seem, the most likely place it would be. I checked the No Homers Club and SNPP.com which are the best sources for this kind of thing - no mention.

I'd check it myself, but I don't have it. Please do let us know...

I remember seeing this. Might try a Simpsons forum..

I WANNA KNOW WHAT EPISODE

Post by Tom Wade Tue Apr 19, 2005 3:52 pm

a friend of mine is a clash fanatic. i know it all, if not directly.

that would make a good single album, or even double album.

i'm sure it had something to do with getting that 9 album contract over with.

i've been trying to buy Strummer's Earthquake Weather album for him. haven't seen it for less than $40, yet.
