Trivia / The Simpsons S 12 E 21 Simpsons Tall Tales

• Deleted Scene:
  • The airport scene would have gone further after the tax waiving bit, with the check-in clerk saying, "I can't waive it, sir. It helps fund the yearbook for the mile-high club." Homer would then respond, "Then good day to you. I'm sure there are plenty of other airlines that fly from Springfield to Delaware." Then we get the trainyard scene, except instead of saying, "Stupid anti-fist-shaking laws," (referring to the Angry Fist-Shake he made in the aforementioned tax waiving bit), Homer would say, "Stupid airline industry consolidation."
  • Upon meeting Babe and calling her his best friend, Paul Bunyan would add, "And I'll whip you from dusk 'til dawn." Babe responds by bucking him in the crotch and running off. A clip of that scene was used in the promos advertising the episode and as a still in the end credits.
  • During the buffalo feast at the beginning of the Connie Appleseed story, before the scene focuses on Connie's family, there would be a pan across the people of the wagon train enjoying the meat, followed by a Seinfeldian Conversation between Lenny and Carl while they eat:
    Carl: Mmm, buffalo meat good. Stomach happy.
    Lenny: How come you're talking like that?
    Carl: Old Indian trick. Leave out unnecessary words. Save three, four minutes a day.
    Lenny: Can I have the extra words you're not using?
    Carl: Knock self out.
• What Could Have Been: Jim Carrey was considered to play the hobo (as Carrey really wanted to voice a character on The Simpsons), but he would up being played by Hank Azaria since Jim Carrey had a busy schedule.
