EVERY Country The Simpsons Visited & Offended - FULL BREAKDOWN
Ойын-сауық
Big thank you to @phantomstrider and @JJMcCullough for joining me to chat about how The Simpsons represented their home countries. 🌎
In this video I break down every country The Simpsons have visited - what countries banned their episode, who loved theirs and how they represented the countries' people and culture. This was a super fun video to make, so if you'd like to see me break down every state Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson have visited in the USA, let me know in the comments!

One country you forgot to mention was Micronesia, when Homer was running away from PBS, he got sent there as a missionary. I was hoping to hear what your take was going to be on that.
As an Australian, I've never met anyone who didn't like the episode! It's a classic. It's one of my favourite episodes! My kids and I always quote it and of course I call dollars; dollarydoos 😁

24:59 I don't think Blame it on Lisa was banned for this much time in Brazil, apparently it aired in cable tv in December 8, 2002 (I don't know if it was the normal delay at the time) and in Globo, the biggest network tv in Brazil, in July 5, 2003. Also, the line about Brazil in "The Wife Aquatic" was changed in the Brazilian dub.

The whole drama with Apu is the biggest case of "don't speak for a minority, if you're in the majority" because in truth, most Indians loved the Simpson's and they loved Apu. All the accusations of Apu being offensive are from Americans, not Indians. (And before any of you guys say you're Indian and you find him offensive, five bucks says you live in America and spent most of your life there)

I love your videos. I too am an extreme Simpsons fan, but not just the Simpsons, I love all the animation shows old and new. I had a wild idea about a theory I have and this was the only way I could message you about it. Have you had the chance yet to,watch the Bob's burgers movie?? If so, I will continue, if not, I don't want tomgive spoilers.
I guess the Simpsons sometimes frustrate viewers like us because it gives an impression that lots of people are just plain rude to nice guys but at least not every Simpson frustrates me because there are always some good jokes especially the movie references.
I love your channel, Lydia
23:44 as far as i know here in brazil the episode is pretty loved and i watched as a kid. also when lisa mentions brazil as the worst place she visited in the brazilian voice acting that line was replaced with "lisa:this is the worst place i visited bart:you really think so? lisa:if i say so is because i think so"

Fun fact, since we here in Italy we don't have any English (sterotypical/cartoony) accents (like Scottish and Irish, we just have the standard English), we resorted to give to characters like Willy and Winchester (You: "Who?"; Oh, right: I meant Wiggum) Italian dialect accents: so Willy has now a Sardinian accent and in various episodes he claims to be from Sardinia (could be like intended that he went to Sardinia, but something he talks about it like he was born there, even tho he's still pretty much Scottish). FYI, Wiggum (aka Winchester in Italian) has a Roman accents. No added backstory of Rome or whatever, just a Roman dialect. It's not the only time we did this: like, in Super Paper Mario there this character, O'Chunks, that speaks with a thicc Scottish accents, in Italian he had a thicc Roman accent. Or in Puss in Boots 2m Goldie and the Bears have the "mafioso" accents from Naples in the Italian dub.
Always great to see PhantomStrider! He's a fun dude ✌️

i really enjoy all the little references to Canada throughout the shows entire run 😂
29:34 Now that's good research! That's Tivoli Gardens, with their marching band dressed as Royal Guards. They perform daily, and in fact, I've been exactly where Marge is sitting. The Chinese Pagoda and the sailing ship which is also a restaurant are also accurate.
Hey Lydia ! Great video idea, you should do. A video of how many times homer and others have died during the series.! Especially with all the bodies homer has had over time I would love too see how many times he has been killed on screen!
nice video. They didn't travel to Norway but we live next to Springfield in Ogdenville

Would you DO a video on every state they've visited? I think that'd be ab even longer video lol (maybe MUCH longer) considering they've visited so many other states people were able to figure out they live in Oregon haha

Hi hello there.! I always enjoy your videos, they are so much fun.. 🙂 I just have a teeny tiny comment on this one; At the beginning of each section of this video, you played the anthem of the country to be discussed, nice touch.. BUT unfortunately you made a mistake with Tanzanere, the little piece of anthem you played was that of “Nkosi Sikelela iAfrika” (Meaning God Bless Africa), witch is the national anthem of South Africa, NOT Tanzanere.. - Still a good video though… 👍🏻🙂

I love that conversations like this could be had and we could get perspectives from people living in the countries that are getting depicted with stereotypes and how they feel about that.
They've visited my two countries (Scotland and Italy) and I don't mind how they portrayed both at all tbh. That scene in the Italy episode where Homer is eating the salami off the machine always makes me really hungry for one of those sausages as they are bloody delicious lol!

I’m Canadian and I completely forgot about the episodes that were in Canada. Over the years there have been known predictions on that show. I totally forgot the predictions of legalization of weed in Canada, that didn’t happen until 2018. The first time that the Simpson showing it was legal was 13 years before it happened, lol.
This is going to be one Hell of a List you know they are probably banned from Hell too because of The Donut Incident lol. Respect and keep up the epic work.
As someone who was born and raised in Australia and grew up watching the simpsons this was easily one of my favorite episodes I still quote it to this day and 99.5% of people instantly pick up on the quotes 🤣🤣
There were actually also scenes from the simpsons in germany (in the war flashbacks, since in some abe is portraid in a theatre with a certain dictator), in argentina (in the Australia episode bart also called argentina ig, since there were some old facists shown in the portraid Country and many of them escaped to argentina, so I just assume, that was the portraid Country. Also, in the brazilian world cup episode, Brazil played against Luxembourg, which was then also shown (snake robbed it)... ...I know that all of those apearences were pretty short and therefore maybe Not considered worthy of a mention, but still I wanted to mention them
Woohoo great video
As an Irishman I watch the Ireland episode with pride
To be fair to China, I can kind of understand why they'd take offence to Homer strangling the baby panda, it did seem much more hostile to Chinese culture than the way they wrote about Irish/British/Aussie culture which seemed more like a friendly jab.
I love the dropbear clinging on the helicopter
As an Australian I find the Winter-Summer Misconception %100 accurate since when the USA has winter we have summer and vice versa even with spring and autumn
I'm Australian and I loved the Australian episode. Every episode The Simpsons makes fun of the USA and that one episode they treated Australia to the same satire. It wasn't all of us but it was some of us. I enjoyed seeing Phantom in this video who had a similar point of view. Societies improve through challenge and feedback. If you can't laugh at yourself then you're lost.

I’m surprised the Simpsons didn’t have a full on episode about Mexico and it’s culture.
The only problem with the Irish episode is them going from the Blarney castle and the giants causeway in the same tour. But let’s be honest they haven’t really done well with depictions of Northern Ireland lol eg orange leprechauns and ira etc
