I Asked 64,182 People About “Jingle Bells, Batman Smells”. Here's What I Found Out.

Merry Un-Christmas, everyone! And thanks to Jack, do check out his channel if you don't know it. (One bit of minutiae that didn't make the video: Bart also sang it in the very first episode, but the lyrics were slightly different and the show wasn't a pop culture phenomenon back then.)

The eye liner is kinda creepy but ok....

My one was
"Jingle Bells, Batman smells,
Robin ran away,
Uncle Billy SHOT his willy on the motorway, hey!"

how i remembered it was "jingle bells batman smells robin saves the day"

“Jingle bells Batman smells robin laid an egg, the Batmobile lost a wheel and Batman wound up dead, hey!”
It what I learnt in New Zealand

Its "Jingle bells batman smells robin laid a egg, the batmobile lost it's wheel and went to bethlehem"

I knew it at "jingle bells batman smells robin layed an egg, the batmobile lost it's wheel and joker did ballet"

robin flew away landed in a football pitch and he didn’t know how to play 🕺

Robin flew away, Batmobile lost its wheel on the motorway

The weird part is as an American i knew all of the American versions also the pissing tree one

Brilliant stuff!

I had forgotten about the second verse but we did that in America too! California

I grew up in the 00s and the version I learned was "Walking through Iraq, with a bomb strapped to my back". I forgot the rest. But I don't think it was very polite.

Another hypothesis outside of television, is travel. Kids visiting other kids and hearing different versions. Transcontinental travel blew up in the 90s.

It’s interesting you talk about tag. In Canada we call it tag, but if you said let’s play it, we would also know what you mean. I never thought about that before.

This is interesting. I’m from Canada and born in 1987, joker did ballet is my version. I have however heard and know of the broken skis version. Forgot about it though!

I still want to hear more about the local distillery that potato person used to hang around when they were a kid

I had no idea that the version my friends and I grew up singing was from the Simpsons until I rewatched that episode! None of us knew it directly from that, we just knew it. My friends and I got in trouble for singing those lyrics really loud over everyone at the Christmas school assembly when I was seven 😂

Jingle bells batman smells robin laid an egg batmovile lost a wheel and joker ran away

The Simpsons version was the version I sang as a child prior to the show existing.

To the 2 Scots who entered “Mr blobby did a jobby on the motorway” you made my day that’s the only way I will sing it from now on

Jingle bells Batman smells, robin flew away, the bat mobile bust a wheel, all on Christmas Day. Australian 1975

i forgot the second verse i knew, but upon hearing of uncle billy misplacing his willy on the motorway, a deep instinct has been awoken inside me

No, its got to be "Jingle bells, batman smells, robin flew a way- the bat mobile has lost its wheel on the motorway"

I've heard both "Joker got away" and "Joker learns ballet". I preferred the ballet one because it fit the rest of the song

Ever since i was in primary school here in west wales its always been jingle bells, bat man smells, robin flew away. Uncle billy lost his willy on the motorway. I turned 16 earlier this year if your interested.

1981 specifically? Why?

The Batman’s series from like the 80s came out

In the joker christmas episode of the old animated batman, he sings the version with the egg

I only ever knew of the Simpson's version

I always knew it as 'Jingle bells batman smells, robin flew away! The batmobile lost its wheel on the M6 motorway, Hey!'

I’m not going to lie, my version is “jingle bells, Batman smells, robin laid an egg, lady Gaga kissed Obama in the USA, hey!”

I wrote it! No joke. 1988 It's ok, I'm good.

I remember the ‘uncle billy lost his willy on the moterway’ made the song get banned in my primary school

Isn't a jobby a... sexual act?

So I never watched the Simpsons and I moved to the US post the release of that episode from a non English speaking country and I still learned the Simpsons version.

Amazing

Mf said Americans and Canadians 💀 Canada is in America North America to be precise if you don’t know your locations

Only real men know jingle bells, mermaidman smells, barnacleboy laid an egg!

I knew about the broken skis, but the chorus for me was cpr a bunch of times and then something about a broken arm

"Jingles Bells, Batman Smells, Robin flew away, Uncle Billy lost his Willy on the motorway, HEY!"

I remember the one that went “jingle bells Batman smells Robin laid an egg, the Batmobile lost its wheel on the motorway, hey!”

“Jingle Bells
Batman smells
Robin laid an egg
Batmobile lost its wheels
And The Joker got away”

How I knew it, as it was the second episode of Batman the animated series “Christmas with The Joker” where The Joker sings it as he escapes on a Christmas Tree out of Arkham Asylum

was born 2001, south of England and always sung jingle bells batman smells robin flew away uncle billy lost his willy on the motorway

My family has always said it as “Jingle bells, Batman smells, robin flew away. The Batmobile lost a wheel and landed in the hay”

“Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin flew away, Uncle Billy lost his willy on the motorway, hey!”

My school version


Edit: for Tag/It, we always said “Tag, you’re it.” So Tag was the game but It was whoever had been last tagged.

Robin layed a gun ahhh america
