So that's how Chief Wiggum wound up in America. I don't know how he can mistake mace for "ouchie spray" or a taser gun for a cell phone. :lol:

It seemed like they were in the hot tub for days!

That was funny when Grampa broke the tub, and the family floundered around like fish out of water.

I love that the stars of Once guest starred It was great seeing that scene :lol:

This episode was so-so for me. It had some funny moments. I like how they made fun of "Once" and got the stars of the movie in the episode. I Colm Meany. The signs and the sight gags were the funniest parts for me.

Missed a few parts but it was a great episode. Loved their trip to Ireland.

I loved the beginning with the hot tub they get and don't want to get out of it :lmao:

I only caught the tail end of the episode, when Homer and Grampa were in the court room and Chief Wiggum appears.

This sounRAB like a pretty good episode with the Simpsons visiting yet another country. It was only a matter of time before they went to Ireland.

[Illir]

Have we already started a thread about places they've visited?

 

[~Flirty~Twilight~Freak~]

:yay: I love Grampa!

Ireland, that's a new one. We should make a list of all the place the Simpson's have visited. It's getting pretty long.

In the Name of the Grandfather
Episode #LABF11

After Homer forgets about a father-son three-legged race at the Springfield Retirement Castle, "The Simpsons are going to..." Ireland, to a pub Grampa visited during World War II, so Grampa can have "one final drink" there - which turns into Homer and Grampa buying the pub.
