McBain guy's first commercial
jani...@utdallas.edu
One of the funniest scenes in the Sherry Bobbins episode was when the
Simpson Fam was watching that "Before They Were Stars" type show.
Charles Bronson as Andy Griffith was hilarious!!
Then, there's a look at the guy who plays McBain's (I can't remember that
actor's name) first commercial. It's a big take-off on those Oscar Meyer
ads (My baloney has a first name, it's "O-S-C-A-R"...), except he spells
out some absurdly long German name. I've seen that bit twice, but I still
can't seem to catch what that McBain guy spells. I usually get lost
after the first six or seven letters! Is there anyone out there who
taped the episode who can find out what the name is he spells? And does
it mean anything?

It's "Fritz Schnackenpfefferhausen", with
Schnacken-pfeffer-hausen being roughly German for
snack-pepper-house

I wonder if he can come up with the proper translation for what

in that particular episode.
It sounds like, "Prez nyeh nachalneek zdeys" to me, which translates to
"The Prez (president) is not the boss here."
Someone in the episode capsule thinks it's "We know who the boss is
here" but I just can't glean that from the Russian he speaks.

Simpson's fan living in Russia, yes, but expatriate. I'm a German
working for a company here in Moscow.

As You quote it, the first translation is correct. I haven't seen the
episode though.

According to my dictionary, "schnacken" translates as "to chatter, chat."
The German word for snack is "Jause" or "Imbiss".

I feel fairly confident in saying "no."

Sorry, no.
A word with "-hausen" at the end is almost always a town/city/whatever.
So, Pfefferhausen must be a place somewhere in Germany. Sounds like a really
small town.

Right, but I don't think that has something to do with Schnackenpfefferhausen.
It really seems that Schnackenpfefferhausen is a town.
Call it "Schnackpeppertown" if you like.

Wherever it is, I guess they make good hot dogs there, eh?

Tell me more about that commercial, what was it about?
About some kind of hot dog?
There is some kind of snack here in Germany that looks similar to a hot dog and
tastes hot like pepper.
It is a kind of mini salami (there is a salami called 'Bifi'(TM) and one called
'Bifi roll'(TM): it's a salami with some bread around it.)
I've tasted some handmade mini salamis - much spicier than the commercial ones
- I wonder if these are sold in the US, too -
Could that be the link?
I have to buy one and look what's the name of it in English.
Bye, Andreas

of Germany. So, if you meet a guy from munich (which is in the south) he
may not understand you.
> The German word for snack is "Jause" or "Imbiss".
"Jause" is used in Austria and perhaps some parts of Germany which are
south and near to Austria. In fact many Germans use the word "snack" to,
since it seems to be trendy to use English words instead of German ones.

I agree.
I am German and can not see what "Schnacken" should mean.
"Pfeffer" means "pepper" in German.
Perhaps there is a relation to "pfefferkuchen", a spicy kind of cake.
You may know this from the "Hansel an Gretel" tale.
"hausen" is just an ending of a city's or village's name.
"haus" means house (even pronounced the same way).
I think there are several other good (or even better) comments about
this topics at de.alt.tv.sipmsons.
They are written in English so go ther and read them.

I hope You do not think I wanted to use Your name,

With all the discussion about Wolfcastle's hot dog commercial, how about
some recognition of the other brand endorsed by the Simpson family:
Hot dogs.
Armor hot dogs.
What kind of kid eats armor hot dogs.
Fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks.
Rough kids, sweet kids, even kids with chicken pox.
Hot dogs.
Armor hot dogs.
The dogs kids like to [eat?].

I like the song parodies that they do when different characters take
lines from the song:
Skinner: I have a BOMB!
Chief Wiggum: Hey, Wait a minute. Those are hotdogs. Armor hotdogs.
SI Chalmers: What kind of man wears Armor hotdogs?
Also,
Homer: DOH!
Lisa: A deer!
Marge: A FEMALE deer!
Can anybody think of others?

Sorry... in both the original commercial jingle and the Simpsons'
version the word is "bite."

The final line is "The dogs kids love to bite," not "the dogs kids love
to buy." Parents buy the food, kids don't. :-)
Also, the brand name is spelled "Armour."
