Hi all, I was watching the episode tonight called Lisa's Pony (8F06)
today and i noticed something. When Lisa was riding her pony at the
stable some kids were watching and one kid said to Ralph Wiggum
something like "can you beleave shes tamed that horse allready" or
something like that, that not important. But then Ralph says something
like "Yeah but i wonder who will tame her" but its wasnt Ralphs voice it
sounded like that bald bully, I cant remember is name it might be Dolph
but it wasnt Ralphs voice. Did anyone else notice this? If you live in
an area that show Simpsons later after you read this watch for it.

I noticed that Ralph's voice was different too. It scared me! It was the
voice of Nelson Muntz. What a weird error.

I sure noticed it. Also, the kid who sang MY DING-A-LING .... he's not a
recurring character, is he?

They cut Homer's trip to the pet store, didn't they? Do they always cut
that scene in syndication?

That is truly a brilliant episode. They were really in their prime back
then. It makes thinking of season 9 painful.

I think the reason that Ralph sounded that way was that this was the first
speaking part he had for the show and they had not developed his character
thus far. If you notice the statement he made: "Yes, but what man can tame
her?" was really outta character for everyone's favorite lil' nutcase.

Yeah, he sounded more like Nelson when he said what he had to say. His name
and the error isn't even mentioned in the episode capsule!

Sometimes the out-of-character lines are the best. Homer's "You can't
sell that - Karma can only be apportioned out by the cosmos" was one.

Also when Bart sold his soul, Lisa said "The poet Pablo Naruda said
that laughter is the language of the soul." Bart, in a
don't-partonize-me tone, said "I am aware of the works of Pablo
Naruda."

Ralph Wiggum was not yet developed as a character during that season, also in
Kamp Krusty his voice is wrong as well, they just decided to change his voice

I noticed that. I think that the reason is because the same person who
does Ralph's voice also does Nelson's voice. This was Ralph's first
speaking part and Nancy Cartwright (the voice for Ralph and Nelson) was
just testing with different voices and finally messed up and did the voice
of Nelson.

It wasn't the first time Ralph spoke. He spoke as early as the second
season's "Lisa's Substitute" (7F19), which was produced well before "Lisa's
Pony" (A third season episode; 8F06). He may have spoken on an earlier
occasion or occasions that I don't recall at the moment.
