The Ukrainian one is beautifully onomatopoeic.

Angry-shouting-in-French Bart adds some nice seasoning.

The Ukrainian one is mirror-image! My first thought was that they ran the film the wrong way up through the projector, but then I remembered it's video. How and why would they go to the trouble of reversing it? Is Homer left-handed in Ukrainian? This bears further research.

But not by me.

I noticed this too!

I was also confused by this.

Yes, me too.... It's strange. Maybe Ukrainians play duck duck goose counter clockwise only?

This is weird, early in the morning. I keep thinking it's art.

Do other countries even have "Duck, Duck, Goose?" If it's just an American game, something even deeper is lost in translation.

In minnesota they don't even have duck duck goose!

They have duck duck grey-duck.

No one knows why.

You'll have to pry my duck duck grey duck from my cold, frostbitten Minnesotan hands.

Heck, it's not even standard in the US. In Minnesota (for some peculiar reason) it's Duck, Duck, Gray Duck.

That was really entertaining, and educational!

Wow, this led me to finding some other Ukranian Simpsons clips, and the voice actors for the main cast are *scarily* good at imitating their American counterparts (including Homer, if you take into account that it's an early episode, and Homer sounded different way back when).
