- 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!

Thanks for inviting me on the show, Lydia! It was such a memory trip looking back at all the countries Simpsons have visited over the years.
Hi phantom!
I live in Australia too
Hi
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I wasn't expecting you to be in the video or comments. What a nice surprise
Is it weird that I like watching these while playing the Simpsons hit and run or nickelodeon kart racers?
No. It's expected and accepted.
No
Perfectly normal. It's aided by the fact that Lydia's voice is pleasant when added to most soundscapes. All of her videos are in the spirit of good fun, too, so you're not gonna ruin your good time. She and PhantomStrider are probably the best RUclipsrs to watch alongside other activities because of their pleasantness and quality content.
That honestly sounds like such a vibe
Nick Kart Racers is a decent karting game
Kudos for saying Tanzania, and not generalising Africa like it's a county 👍
You mean New Zanzibar? Or should I say, Pepsi Presents New Zanzibar?
But then playing the South African anthem during the Tanzania part lol. Does Tanzania not have an anthem or does it just not matter because it's Africa right? 😒
country
@@babyramses5066exactly!
Or should you say… *Kodos* ?
I'm surprised that they haven’t made a whole episode in Mexico, the dub made here is really popular, especially in the 2000s it has huge, still is but not as much as then
the dub is popular in every country
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 😁
If I'm ever given the privilege to interact with Ozzie currency, you bet your Bendigoan Cube I'll call it "dollarydoos"!~
@@jansenart0 Sounds great mate!
That's a bloody outrage that is! I'm taking this all the way to the Proime Ministah
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.
My home country of Northern Ireland was seen in the same episode where the Simpsons visited Ireland.
But it was only a short scene of Marge, Lisa, Bart & Maggie at the famous hexagonal basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway.
Was about to comment the exact same, I remember my parents laughing at the fact that while Homer is in a pub in Dublin, and then Marge suddenly takes the kids to the Giant's Causeway and back in two seconds
@@Yamezzzz I think I remember the punchline for Marge and the kids' subplot was that Ireland had less material for the writers to riff on compared to all the other countries (in terms of famous landmarks, culture, or stereotypes).
My Favorite was when they visited Austraila I wish we Americans had a leader like Prime Minister Andy. Thanks Lydia, Phantom Strider and JJ for sharing your Homelands with us.
Ye as an Aussie some of it is actually funny that episode it’s just slightly annoying. My least fav part tho is the beating I only know 1 person that gets beatings at home
Fellow Brit here, and I liked the London episode. I liked it when Marge thought that every taxi 🚕 had its own butler 😂 I also liked the Australia 🇦🇺 episode "dollarydoos" and "chazzwozzers" when Marge said they call them bullfrogs, both made me laugh 😂
As an Aussie I just laughed at it. It's a bit of fun and The Simpsons is based on stereotypes. I can confirm no one drinks Fosters beer and kangaroos aren't transport for people haha 😂.
Great video, Lydia! ❤
Yeah I heard that Aussie's dont drink Fosters often. It's more popular in the UK
@@TheSimpsonsTheory fosters beer is only sold in Melbourne. So you won't find it anywhere else in Australia 🙈
Although the politicians in the show do more than our actual politicians
@@23heltar you have a good point
Us Aussies love the Australian episode 😂
I'm surprised they didnt go to Germany yet. Considering the amount of jokes about German people. Been waiting for it! I mean, the country of the best Beers and Homer? That would be a blast for Homer!
Tho one time Homer heard about Germany and just imagined cheesechocolatebeer land, LMAO
The Germans came to them!
@@alexeidarling Guess the best we get is Uter but Germans don't count Bavarians as Germans. And in the German Version Uter is actually Swiss lol
@@ReeN1995 In one episode the Germans came to them (Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk). In another episode Homer was the blob and has eaten some Germans. There is not only Uter.
Bonus of the "die bart die" gag
Just got your book as a birthday present im looking forward to reading it. The quality is amazing
That’s so nice! I really hope you enjoy it
As an Australian the Australian ep is hilarious! especially the part where Homer asks for a giant beer
I've always enjoyed how Australians seem completely immune to this effect. Every Australian I've met (only a handful, admittedly) has been able to quote the Simpsons as well as I can, and absolutely LOVES the Australia episode. Seems like they've got a great sense of humor.
As an Australian, I definitely still say dollarydoos whenever talking about money. I love the Australia episode, it's a classic! 🙃 🙃 🙃
@@TrainWreckYT even Australian cartoons reference dollary doos (Bluey)
I'll never understand the people mad about it because the Simpsons itself is a show making fun of America. To some people it's okay to make fun of America but not their country. Double standards. I mean me personally I find it hilarious when I see a well written texas or America parody even if it's not accurate. As long as it feels like everyone else is getting equal treatment
@@crazymusicchickWhats ya favorite colour, blue?
What's ya favorite hobby, Sport?
You should do a video about all the states the Simpsons have visited or made reference to as not being the state they live in. Then you could possibly narrow it down and figure out what state they do live in.
It's Springfield Oregon
@@Chiefs_fanMichaelDiedrich
Most likely that’s where the name came from, but canonically the location of Springfield isn’t known.
Wow this is an amazing video Lydia... I managed to cook breakfast wash my dishes clean my room wake and bake and now off to walk my dog and I'm barely on the halfway mark. Kinda nostalgic watching these classic clips so many memories that fade around the Simpsons.. I still to this day catch myself quoting certain classic dank episodes.. keep doing your thing my love 💋
I was just thinking about this. Thx❤
Thanks for the video! I'm from Finland. Tho they haven't visited here in the show, they have couple of times confused Finland with Sweden.
You put a video out on my birthday. You guys are too much, thank you, lol. This video was great, and it also shows how they have so much money to travel everywhere?
Happy birthday Daniel 🥳🎈
I'm guessing Homer gets a trickle of money through his ownership of Denver Broncos haha
Always brighten my days greetings from Ecuador
I can watch your videos the whole day
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)
Well said!
Most Indians loved Apu? 😂 I have never met an Indian that loved Apu. I don't think they find him offensive persay, just a cheap stereotype
I love your channel, Lydia
As a Brazilian, I'm most offended by the Geography mistakes (Rio is VERY far away from the Amazon, and the animation looked more like Pantanal than Amazon) than the stereotypes
best narrator and voice on youtube by far
Worth the wait haha
I love strider’s channel it was actually one of my first channels I subscribed to
You must be very young then. What about all the og channels? From the early days
@@gwrydd no I started watching his videos a few years ago
Always great to see PhantomStrider! He's a fun dude ✌️
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.
Eu me lembro de assistir qndo criança. Eu sempre achei estranho qndo as pessoas diziam q o ep só passou 1 vez no Brazil antes de ser lançado em DVD pq meus pais n gostavam de Os Simpsons mas eu me lembro desse ep na Globo antes de 2009 (eu troquei de escola em 2009 e me lembro q eu ainda estudava na minha antiga escola qndo assisti o ep)
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.
62TH! Awesome new video lydia!
(I subcribed to Lydia loves timelines btw!)
"Dollery-doos" sounds like something Ned would say 😆
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
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.
i really enjoy all the little references to Canada throughout the shows entire run 😂
Just realised they never came to my country...
You should make a part two Which include your other countries category
Great video thank you keep em coming please
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.
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.
wonderful video! also, i found a fun um, easter egg? i suppose an easter egg in the episode “The doh’cial network” (s23 episode11) at the VERY end there is a peek at a treehouse of horror thing that is in the 33rd season! (the treehouse of horror ep)
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"
Yeah I remember people liking it
I so badly wanna hear how long this took to write, but all jokes aside this is amazing 💖
Ur litterly the best Simpsons theorist I've seen I've also watched like every episode lol
Hey Lydia, great video as always. It's actually pronounced scoon
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
16:54 "Knife Goes In, Guts Come Out"
Probably my all time favorite Bart Simpson quote
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.
Hilarious new video! ❤🎉😂😊
cool video
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… 👍🏻🙂
Thank you, and yes I slapped my head as soon as I realised. I must have accidentally used the wrong one while editing. D'oh!! 😫
As an Irishman I watch the Ireland episode with pride
Woohoo great video
I love the dropbear clinging on the helicopter
You never mentioned! The Ireland episode also included my part of the UK.
They go to Northern Ireland for a few seconds (the Giant's Causeway)
Now you should do a look at at states/cities the shows mocked. The two big ones off the top of my head are, new york, Florida,
I love your friendship with Strider, two wholesome RUclipsrs doing wholesome RUclipsrs stuff
Oh my God I forgot that you know JJ ❤️
Phantomstrider is one of the nicest people I've met through RUclips
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! Really can't say I blame Homer there 🤣
Idk why but everytime a youtuber is from England and when shows go to England it makes me smile so much ( I'm from England ).
25:59 As a Simpson fan from italy i really loved how accurate it was😂
FINALLY. You made Another Simpson Theory in *THIS* Month!
Haha I wish I can make more but these videos are so time consuming
@@TheSimpsonsTheory It's ok!
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.
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 🤣🤣
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.
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.
21:09 bro’s got floral shoppe on vinyl omg goals
"I see you've played Knifey Spoony before" To be honest as silly as The Simpsons England episode is it still beats out a lot of other shows set in England (they also didn't use London Calling by The Clash, which while a great song is possibly one of the most overused 'shorthand to tell you you're in England' needledrops).
I'm so sick of hearing 'Londons Calling' in movies and TVs show haha
@@TheSimpsonsTheory The Clash are awesome but it's superlazy. Another thing that hacks me off are the bad food jokes. Nothing beats Seppings sausages!
16:11 Uh-oh. The sign ends in "Robot Seizure".
I’m surprised the Simpsons didn’t have a full on episode about Mexico and it’s culture.
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
13:00 This is one of my favorite jokes that I remember from when I watched the show as a kid the '90s. All three questions by literally asking the same question three times just warning it differently.😂 I completely understand why Apu was so pissed about that But my goodness wasn't funny to say and hear Homer say that.😂
fun fact: at 16:14 the text on the tv eads, "battle robot(s)" (blue text) with the red text underneath reading, "seizure", at least they were warned...
Poor France they were subjected to one of Lisa’s abysmal saxophone performances…I think sonic tortured is a war crime
Before you even said his name I just knew you talking about JJ when it comes to Canada. He’s the first person that popped into my head.
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
There was a quick visit to Sweden in one of the Tree house of horror episodes.
I was right about what this one would be! The English teeth thing must be so frustrating for you! It definitely doesn’t help anything that Hermione was described as having buck teeth by J. K. Rowling in Philosopher’s Stone. To me, that was another reason that people have that stereotype because of enjoying the books.
English teeth are disgusting, though.
7:43 “That’s an odd name, I’d ‘ave called ‘em Chazzwazzers!”
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 a simple man, I see Phantom Strider pop up on a Lydia video I get happy :)
🌹Happy Mothers Day!💐🧸❤🙏
Next video about what states the family has been to!
I'm Scottish and loved the episode where they came to Scotland. Had a funny feeling Homer would be a true Scotsman and go commando if he wore a kilt 😂
Same
Im English and I love the episode when they visited London even though their English accents weren’t great but it was a great episode to watch especially the roundabout scene
The episode about Israrl was seen as very funny and accepted by the people. The misrepresentation of the tour guide was hysterical. As a tour guide I thought it explceptionally funny.
As a fellow Brit, before The Regina Monologues aired, there was a small part of me that was hoping The Simpsons were going to stay in a hotel owned by Basil Fawlty who would be voiced by John Cleese. Homer and Basil would then argue and fight over the war.
But for what we got, it was really funny.
Hey! I have just seen the opening credits to S34 E22 lol, I feel like we need a count of characters and who they are, if you don’t mind 🙂
26:25 As an Italian, i hate when big rolls on mortadella falls on our cars. This days are getting so risky for that
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
You're right, I was going to mention that. They are around 5 hours away from each other haha
@@TheSimpsonsTheory yeah I know it’s daft trying to apply logic to the Simpsons but yeah lol. Though I’m glad you didn’t mentioned the Irish stuff that got episodes banned and edited over here
17:26 after seeing episode I remember imaging the same event with a friend of mine who wanted to adopt her own kid and our folks picked me out of bed sleep and waking up on a plane it's a long story but let's say when I woke up I was both freaked out and mad at our parents. Don't get me wrong I see my friend as a cousin since her mom knew me when I was crawling but to she asked as a single favor I was mad but gone with it.
"you dont brush your teeth eh? lemme show you something. -pulls out book- THE BIG BOOK OF BRITISH SMILES" one of my favorite scenes of all simpsons lol
" Vendetta, Vendetta" loved the Italy episode...it was so 😆
16:19 The sad part about that was that I'm pretty sure that Porygon and its evolutions never appeared in another episode again after it. The seizures were from Pikachu, not Porygon. R.I.P Porygon even years from then.
I oddly have no memory of the Loch Ness episode. Not only would I have watched it live, I think I owned the season on DVD.
Still, I’ve forgotten entire people I’ve hung out with, so I’m not surprised I forgot it. And yet, I’m mystified.
Can’t believe JJ said the Canada episode was gentle. I live in Newfoundland, and the seal hunting joke was NOT well-received. I thought it was all in good fun though.
Interesting video. However, there are some problems with pronunciation. For example, crepes should rhyme with grapes, so the title pun makes sense.
I was surprised there was no mention of the episode where Homer and Marge were travelling all over to get some alone time from Bart and Lisa, and ended up falling off Niagra Falls. The US & Canadian Coast Guards taking their boats out to try to rescue them, but ending up arguing with each other. Gave me my favorite way to address a Canadian. "You puck slapping maple suckers!" to which the Canadians called the Americans the, "Shatner stealing Mexico touchers!" lol
Are you going to do similar to this to of Family Guy countries that they visit and stereotypes
If this video does well then 100% yes 🙂
me and the hole country of argentina woud die for an episode of the simpsons in (at least) Buenos aires xd
Anyway I loved the video i didn't remember they went to that many places!
