U2 are an Irish rock band.

History

Homer walked on stage in the middle of a U2 concert, because he wanted to tell the hip people of Springfield, why he would be a good sanitation commissioner. They sang part of "The Garbage Man".

They later started a moving company called U2 Moving Crew that was advertised on a billboard in Dunkilderry, Ireland. Their slogan is "We move in mysterious ways".

A clip of U2 on stage was seen.

In "...Six Degrees of Homer Simpson ...sort of!" Homer connected U2 to Marcel. He did this through:

1. "I spoke at a U2 concert when I ran for the office of Springfield Sanitation Commissioner."
2. "U2 is from Ireland."
3. "Ireland is famous for exporting Lucky Charms cereal..."
4. "...which are hoarderd by a leprechaun, similar to the one from Leprechaun: The Movie"
5. "Leprechaun: The Movie starred Jennifer Aniston."
6. "Jennifer Aniston co-starred in Friends with Marcel the monkey."
