1. Homer rips on U.S. Healthcare (Homer's Triple Bypass, Season 4)
On the eve of his triple bypass surgery, Homer reassures Marge, "Don't worry, Marge, America's health care system is second only to Japan
Canada, Sweden, Great Britain
well, all of Europe. But you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay!" It's a factually accurate jab at U.S. healthcare, but how is Homer able to recite international healthcare statistics with great specificity when he doesn't even know what Canada is ("Anyone could miss Canada on a map
all tucked away down there
"), he's never heard of Australia before seeing it on a globe, and he thinks Uruguay is called "You Are Gay"? But he knows 'Paraguay' and its poor healthcare ranking?
How do you explain THAT, writers of a thing from 1992 that is literally my favorite thing ever in every way?
