@@drwhofan1049 , I actually came to the comments to ask for an explanation of this one. Could you, pls. (I'm not a native speaker.) > “Forget it Homer, it’s chiro town.”
Chiro is entirely pseudo and unproven. The cracks you hear are not bone but muscle stretch usually and its usually a 16 minute fix before you fall back into the problem. Just stretch and work out, you ll achieve better results
Diego D I know; it’s almost like the entire premise of the episode, was specifically designed, just so they could end on that reference... ...I know that probably isn’t the case, but I’d be absolutely fine if it was haha.
But Chinatown is by Roman Polanski, and look who was convicted some time ago because of inappropriate behavior around children. Yes, yes, I know, separate art from artist.
@Closed Since nobody actually answered "what's meant" by it, (only mentioning the reference) i'll actually explain. It's about turf. You put "town" after anything to say that's what/who's town it is. This was Moe saying, let it go, this is their town. (the chiropractors town. chiro for short) You could think of it today with Taxis vs Ubers. Has NYC been taken over by the Uber business? This is Uber town. (or city in that case. lol) And to explain why it's a reference. Saying "(some)-town" isn't a reference. This was only a reference to the movie "Chinatown" because of the line "Forget it, Homer. It's Chirotown." (original "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.") They of course set the scene similar also. On the street at night, ending with Noir music. But that's just bonus reference. It's also possible they could've never seen the movie (or it never existed) and still had Moe say that same line. But of course the rest of the scene confirms that it is a reference. If it didn't exist, or you never saw that movie before then (me, still) you can still understand what Moe meant by "Chirotown" the same way you'd understand the meaning of "Chinatown". You just wouldn't know it was a reference to something you don't know about. Sorry for the in-depth article 9 months late when it's irrelevant to you. But hopefully that clears it all up. lol
Worth it just to see the last chiropractor with a long pony tail. The only chiro I knew personally had his hair in a pony tail just as long as that. But I never used a chiro. I saw any friends that used them were constantly going back, often every week. Like this skit mentions "many times."
For anyone wondering the ending "forget it Homer, its chirotown" is a reference from the ending of a popular movie called "Chinatown" where they say "forget it Jake, its Chinatown"
This actually happened to somebody I know. They had their knee out of alignment and went to chiropractor, but never got totally OK. Then they fell on some trash on their knee, and it the pain went away 🤣
*They had their knee out of alignment and went to chiropractor* There's the problem right there - many chiropractors describe themselves as "primary care" providers based on pseudoscientific principles, when their profession only helps (and very incidentally) with certain types of back pain. Methinks someone should have visited their GP or a physiotherapist.
@@rethguals Yeah, I've had chiropractors that were actually good. When I got an x ray of my neck, it also caught part of my jaw where I could see my wisdom teeth impacted. Instead of making an opinion, he just said "probably should see a dentist." Lol
Was he advised to see the chiropractor on a weekly basis where cracking the back gave some temporary relief but ultimately achieving nothing, which resulted in mounting chiropractor fees over the long term, making the chiropractor rich by essentially curing nothing?
Dr. Hibbert : Modern medicine has a lousy record of treating the back. We spend too much time on the front. Homer : Yeah, there's some neat stuff on the front!
Anyone else have to crack their back after watching this? I can watch the try not to laugh or jump videos with no issue, but when it comes to watching the videos that have a lot of bone popping, I have to pop my back or something.
Funniest part was when he said, "it feels a little better!" They're total quacks, every last one of them. You're better off falling over a trash barrel then seeing one of them
@Yabuturtle chiropractors are not physicians and do not practice medicine. It is no more effective than homeopathy, or getting an exorcism to fix the rattling caused by a draft in your house.
This strikes me so much as a person with scoliosis who often visits a chiropractor. The advice given by the doctor in this scene is a spot on from mines as well and I often hear lots of people questioning their general practices. Though I would still prefer going to them for now because the other option is to be treated via surgery and I cannot afford that.
Here in my country surgery is free but people still choose chiropractors because surgery implies a lot more preparation, pain, anesthesia, painkillers, recovery, stitches..
1:13. As an occupation therapist i run into that alot Patient: Youre not making me more independent Me: Are you doing your home exercise program? Patient: Hell no.
My favorite joke here has always been, "Hey, it feels a little better." "I thought it might." The minor improvement and the vagueness of the chiropractor CRACKS me up every time.

If I were Homer, I would've told Dr. Steve about how the trash can fixed my back, present the patent to him, and then probably get rich off of it while Dr. Steve and other chiropractors adopt that method!
@@rckblzr I mean u can charge for much much more and get away with it, while both making as much or even more money, and still curing people. Idk why no one really thinks of it, like u can either sell 20$ pills a day for the last 5 years of someone's life and make 36,500$ or sell a 45,000$ treatment that cures the Illness, patent it, and get an extreme level of customers rushing first thing to save their lives, for the next couple years until the patent expires, while also advertising tf out of ur brand. Then even when the patent expires, your brand is gonna be so out there, and known, that it'll be the only brand capable of surviving while the name also becomes synonymous with the treatment. Like how some people call cereal cheerios, or tissue paper cleanex, but at a more extreme level
My scoliosis is so bad that it's curved in three places and twisted in one so I can relate. I also had sciatica one time for a month and it was so bad I couldn't stand without vomiting from the pain. If only a garbage could fix _MY_ back.
