One of them (I can't tell which one) appeared in "The Springfield Files", along with other famous aliens (Alf, Chewbacca, & Marvin the Martian). (anon)
- When only one appears, it's always Kang. Digifiend 11:08, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quality
- Quote: the aliens say they will kill all of Earth's politicians for not getting their daughter, although the Treehouse of Horror episodes aren't canon and are just simple short stories for the sake of Halloween. What was meant to be said by this? Cema 06:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- Quote: Kang asks if they will be needed and Kodos mentions have ballet tickets. What was meant to be said here? Cema 06:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- This article is incredibly redundant. LeSaint 01:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Twilight Zone references
Kang and Kodos and their spaceship seem to be a pretty clear homage to the Twilight Zone Episode "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street."
Also there is a Halloween episode which spoofs the Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man," with Kang and Kodos as the human-eating aliens.

[edit] Major Cleanup
I cleaned this article up big-time. We still need to add a brief snippet about their role in a few of the Halloween episodes...... --takethemud 06:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Censorship
Shouldn't there be something about Kang and Kodos lines being cut out by Fox censorship? I heard that after they are justifying invasion on Earth with prevention of development of weapons of mass destructions they say that it's just like Iraq. But parts of this dialog (about Iraq?) were cut out. Do someone have some credible information about this?
- The line wasn't cut because of censorship, it was cut because the writers decided that they didn't like it. And, the line was something along the lines of "This is exactly what Iraq will be like" and it was in the episode Treehouse of Horror XVII. -- Scorpion0422 03:14, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Credits in the movie
The fact that Kang was credited in the movie could be explained by the fact that he speaks in the commercials and was being credited for that. Ketchuphed 04:12, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review
Comments are left here. miranda 02:38, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- Copyediting through this article, there are some mistakes. "Other Rigellians that have appeared include Serak the Preparer, who was voiced by James Earl Jones and only appeared in "Treehouse of Horror".[2]" However, below says that he appeared in THOHV. miranda 16:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Cannibalism?
"Lisa becomes suspicious of their intentions and accuses Kang and Kodos of cannibalism." - I'm pretty sure that Rigellians and humans are not the same species, so cannibalism is somewhat incorrect.--Jackyd101 (talk) 09:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. Changed to Lisa becomes suspicious of their intentions and accuses Kang and Kodos of eating the Simpson family. miranda 10:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Rigellian physiology
I've always wondered about this: at one point (ToH XII) Kodos says: "I always secret ocular fluid at weddings", but in Gump Roast Kang says "These are not tears. We are vomiting from our eyes". What is it? Did they actually cry? Do they vomit at weddings? Or did the writers simply forget themselves? Lampman Talk to me! 03:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
