Scotchtoberfest
Scotchtoberfest is a fake
Scottish festival which was featured in the episode "
Bart's Girlfriend". It was invented by Principal
Seymour Skinner to catch Bart red-handed in the act of perpetrating a
prank, as is Bart's perennial wont.
Groundskeeper Willy, the Scottish school janitor, plays the
bagpipes whilst wearing a
kilt. Bart lifts his kilt with
helium balloons, and since Willy wears his kilt without
underpants, at least one woman faints at the sight.
Skinner: There's no such thing as
Scotchtoberfest.
Willie: [
sounding genuinely surprised] There's not?! Ya used me, Skinner. Ya used me! Since its appearance, some (it's pretty-much limited to groups of friends sharing the joke round somebody's house) Scots have made Scotchtoberfest into a real festival, held on the third Friday of every October. For most people who celebrate it, it is simply "a celebration of all things Scottish". Another variation is to combine elements of
Highland Games and
Oktoberfest, with "Scottish" and "German" Pavillions.
It is a play on the
Oktoberfest held in
Munich,
Germany every September.
