Moe Goes from Rags to Riches

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that in the episode of The Simpsons "Moe Goes from Rags to Riches", Moe describes himself as friends with a rag?

• Comment: Self referenced, a TV episode that aired not so long ago.

• Date and length check out, hook is mildly interesting and cited in article directly to episode. Only requires QPQ review before it can be promoted. Also, I wonder if this might be a more engaging hook:

ALT1: ... that Jeremy Irons guest-starred in the episode of The Simpsons "Moe Goes from Rags to Riches" as the voice of a bar rag?

I didn't see the episode, but I think it's a pretty hilarious idea. This also has the advantage of having a stronger source (The Washington Post article and others). Cheers, Khazar (talk) 15:33, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Great. As soon as you've done your Quid Pro Quo review, just post here and I can sign off on it. -- Khazar (talk) 17:44, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Good to on both of the following hooks (promoter's choice):

• ORIGINAL: ... that in the episode of The Simpsons "Moe Goes from Rags to Riches", Moe describes himself as friends with a rag?
• ALT1: ... that Jeremy Irons guest-starred in The Simpsons episode "Moe Goes from Rags to Riches" as the voice of a bar rag? -- Khazar (talk) 18:59, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
  • If I'm called the "promoter", I'll go with ALT1. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 20:47, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
    • Considering we're supposed to involve the real world in some way, ALT1 best fits with the rules. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:40, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
