[edit] Wonder Years

Is it just me, or was Milhouse based in part on Paul Pfeiffer (played by Josh Saviano) from the Wonder Years?

[edit] Milhouse's allergens

One unspecified user listed several of his allergens as "dairy" and "non-dairy." This would make him allergic to every substance known to man, and thus killing off the character (unless he dies of an allergic reaction). --Chapas45 9 December 2006 07:34 (UTC)


[edit] Milhouse the name

Given Matt Groening's tendency to name characters after streets in his hometown (Lovejoy, Flanders), more emphasis should be placed on Milhouse's last name as a street rather than the Charles Manson follower. ~~

[edit] Female?

Isn't Milhouse actually a boy? *cry* :) 158.64.137.141 21:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Richard Nixon?

Is it true that Milhouse's first name was derived from Richard Milhous Nixon's middle name? I could swear that I remember that being said during one of the commentaries from The Simpsons Fourth Season. DinoDan926 00:22, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


I can look it up for you if you want, I have the fourth season on DVD. IncrediVi —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.247.138 (talk) 16:35, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnicity

Unless I'm mistaken, we only definitively know that Milhouse is Dutch, right? His grandmother living in Italy does not guarantee that he is Italian, and his receiving a gift for a Greek Orthodox holiday is even less convincing; only ethnic Greeks can be Greek Orthodox? I'd propose removing references to his being Italian and Greek as speculation. Thoughts? faithless (speak) 05:12, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Meme

Okay, now I'm curious, because these edits seem to come in bunches, so where is this "Milhouse is a meme"/"Milhouse is not a meme" crap coming from? It's weird because you'll get three or four different anons adding it in a few days, then there will be nothing for a month, then it will come back. Is it simply a user who keeps changing IPs, or is it coming from a forum discussion? -- Scorpion0422 17:25, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

It's a 4chan meme Prophet0014 (talk) 13:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
No it's not —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.138.127.2 (talk) 17:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it is. faithless (speak) 22:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mussolini?

..........eeerrr how do we know that he's really called that, I don't think any should be called that, I'm sure you know why King food (talk) 20:34, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's kind of the joke. There is an episode where Lisa needs to learn Italian - it turns out that Milhouse is fluent in Italian from spending summers in Italy with his grandmother. During a flashback, she scolds him for speaking in English, calling him Milhouse Mussolini Van Houten and 'Idiota' and chases him with an olive branch. faithless (speak) 02:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I've seen that episode but I don't remember him being called that King food (talk) 09:41, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Well...watch it again. :-) faithless (speak) 09:47, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
