Top 10 Times Shows Made Fun of The Simpsons
“Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo” The Simpsons’ Japanese vacation is a treasure trove of jokes about American tourist clichés.

So, they have to compete on a game show to win tickets back home. You won’t want to miss all the crazy challenges they go up against. This episode isn’t without controversy, though.

#7: Homer Visits Scotland
Top 10 Times Homer Simpson Got What He DESERVED
“Monty Can’t Buy Me Love” Mr. Burns is always asking Homer to do weird things, and hunting down the Loch Ness monster is definitely one of the most bizarre. The two set off to Scotland accompanied by Professor Frink and Groundskeeper Willie. It’s tons of fun watching this odd team execute their mission because it’s not a group of characters you usually see together. Finding the creature is not an easy task and they end up having to drain the entire lake. They eventually succeed and take Nessie back to Springfield, but it’s safe to say this bunch is not suited to be monster hunters.

Homer and Marge join a curling team and make it all the way to the 2010 Winter Olympics. At the same time, Lisa is becoming addicted to collecting souvenir pins.

Top 10 Times The Simpsons Made Fun of South Park
“Bart vs. Australia” You can thank the Coriolis Effect for giving us one of the most unforgettable episodes of “The Simpsons.” Bart and Lisa get into an argument about the way the water drains down the sink, and he ends up making a $900 collect-call to Australia to try to prove her wrong. As a result, he gets charged with fraud. Thankfully, he gets offered the chance to head down there with his family and make amends instead.
