Cussing Aliens on The Simpsons

A guy at work told me that the alien gibberish from the Simpsons were distorted cuss words or clever anagrams of cuss words. Any comfirmations?

More specifically, the episodes where those green slimy aliens were on.

As near as I can tell, they are speaking nothing but english. Of course I am also fluent in Rigellian.

It all came straight from the text Cooking for forty humans, which is in English.

The only gibberish that I’ve heard from them is “shazbot”, which is actually from Mork and Mindy. Other than that they speak plain English. There are their names, I guess, which are Kang, Kodos, and (if memory serves) Serak the Preparer. Good luck finding any cuss words in there.

Yes, it is Kang, and his sister Kodos, who sounds exactly the same; like a deep-voiced man. :wink: And they speak all in English.

Maybe you were confusing it with a reference to the Matt Groening show Futurama, which does have many aliens.

No, they DON’T speak English. They speak Rigellian, which evolved completely seperate of English, but by a humongous twist of fate and enormous coincidence, is identical in every way to English.

And yes, they’ve said “Holy Florking Schnit” before.

Don’t blame me. I voted for Kodos.

Homer, I remember that episode. I laughed my flerking ass off! More so than usual.

“I believe I’ll vote for a third-party candidate.”

“Go ahead, throw your vote away!”

mwahhhhhh Haahhhhh Hahhhhh Haaahhhh- (splopt!)

Kang: What happened, Kodos?

Kodos: Quiet, you!

Let’s not forget the time they did start swearing on the Jerry Springer show, but it was bleeped out. Whew - that was lucky :smiley:
