“He try to see girl. Girl make him CRAZY!”
This was before Jamie Oliver? 
Hotel detectives are still around, though a lot of aspects of the job has changed. They’re a lot less visible now, and they’re merged in with a more general class of ‘security’.
Apparently so. Naked Chef debuted in 1999.
He pronounces “oregano” the same way.
I am 40 and I had no idea what hotel detectives did until others explained it in this thread.
No, obviously what a hotel detective does, is tell you the colors of the flag flying on the car that was being driven by the guy who stole the Statue of Liberty’s torch.
Yeah, I came this close to posting that.
I didn’t know the drummer sang it. At about 1:30…
That line is interesting as they apparently use the literal meaning of “Out of sight” rather than someone being super cool.
When disturbed, chickens will run around like Chicken Little, warning the flock. Not like ducks, who simply duck down in the reeds and hope that the fox gets some other duck.
Odd fact: In Australia, keeping cockatoo instead of laying chickee. Cockatoos are even louder than chickens, and fly off in a large loud flock when you get too close.
To be fair Tom even knocks his learning and describes the ‘new method’ as, “focusing on what you’re actually doing”.
That’s the joke. He and his audience don’t understand it and yet agree it’s a better teaching method. Reflection is his gig.
I’m not sure what’s changed about this joke since it aired - the premise is that Springfield is a provincial, backwards place where even a basic Italian spice like oregano is weirdly exotic and “ethnic,” and, in line with that, Marge’s personality is 50 years out of date. You can take it as world-building for The Simpsons in particular or just ripping on stereotypes of small-town American life in general, just as well now as then.
I remember Geritol and Serutan, but not Absorbine, Jr.
A friend of mine in high school made a parody video of Ted Mack’s (“Ted Hack’s”) Amateur Hour.
The sponsor was Lotireg. Geddit? (You’re really showing your age if you do. 
)
Also sponsored by Gnip Gnop?
What was the last thing Marvin Gay Sr. said to Marvin Gay Jr.?
This is the last 45 you’ll ever hear.
You’d need to know…
Who he was.
How he died.
What a .45 (caliber) is.
What a 45 (rpm) is.
And I used the birth spelling of his name so they’d match.
Serutan was the wizard of Isinglass in Bored Of The Rings. (Incidentally, Serutan is ‘natures’ backwards.)
The Master or one of his minions spoke about Absorbine Jr., and Absorbine Sr. to boot.
What happened to the archive?
How did Marvin Gaye find out he was going to be shot?
He heard it through the car-bine.
My ol’ paw used Absorbine Sr. Stank like blazes! Stuff is for horses. But he’d rub it on his legs and derive, I presume, some comfort.
