 I'm sure those are probably just sw'''''a'''''llows, swellows real world counterpart.[[User:Morgil27|Morgil27]] 16:31, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 :Second that; nice article though [[User:Arty2|Arty2]] 16:48, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
+:Yeah, those were just sw'''a'''llows. Swellow's coloration is remarkably similar to the coloration of actual swallows, which is probably why these particular swallows resemble Swellow so much. [[User:Philos|Philos]] 19:11, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
+I don't, they look way too much like swellow..[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 18:03, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
+:Well, i think they're Taillow. Swellows have bigger heads and feathers. [[User:Empath-Silvio|Empath-Silvio]] 19:41, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
+I think it's pretty clearly a swallow, for two reasons: 1. Taillow/Swellow aren't nearly well-known enough to be parodied by the Simpsons. Just a public consciousness thing. 2. The line about them returning to Springfield is pretty clearly a reference to the famous Capistrano Swallows, whose annual return to their nests is a pretty big tourist attraction. For reference, [http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss346/PERLA_1990_photo/swallows.jpg here's an image of the Capistrano Swallows]. Hope that clears it up! The rest of the article was good.

+I don’t know why this hasn’t been addressed after 12 years. Not only do those birds look nothing like Swellow (if anything they look closer to Taillow but are still obviously just real life swallows) but the official script for The Simpsons Movie says “swallows” and not “swellows”. This is just a case of one person hearing it wrong and thinking it’s a reference. Can we please get that whole part removed?  [[User:TorchicCombuskenBlaziken|TorchicCombuskenBlaziken]] ([[User talk:TorchicCombuskenBlaziken|talk]]) 20:03, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

+I haven't seen the episode. What indicates Pokemon more than any other TCG? [[User:PLA|PLA]] 20:01, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
+*One of the Hackidu referred by name is a "[[bp:Bulbasaur|Scramisaur]]", and it is mentioned that there's a TV show, as much as I can remember. The cards also seem similar to the novelty collectible cards by Topps.

+== Austin Powers in Goldmember ==
+If my memory is correct, than the reference is someone in a Charmander suit running around while Tokyo is attacked by a Godzilla float. --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] 01:14, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
