"Mobile Homer" |
|
Trivia[]
- The title is a reference to a "Mobile Home" or an RV.
- In the Spanish (from Spain) dubbed version, when Lisa reads Homer's Flintstones map, she says, "Dino, abreviatura de dinosaurio; consultarlo en la Wikipedia" (Dino, abbreviation of Dinosaur; search for it in Wikipedia). In the original English, she said "Dino, short for Dinosaur? Remember to Ask Jeeves."
- Among the vacation disasters: Homer impaled by a baguette in France, Homer getting assaulted by Mickey Mouse and Goofy at the Magic Kingdom, and Homer stuck in Lincoln's nose on Mount Rushmore.
- Lisa originally said "Oh rats!" in the broadcast version when she and Bart were about to run over a detour. In the uncensored version, she said "Oh shit!".
- The episode is higher than PAL-toned in other countries (possibly by 1 semitone).
Censorship[]
- This episode is unavailable on the Turkish version of Disney+ due to the inaccurate depiction of the Turkish flag, its stereotypical depiction of Turkish people, and the end where Marge is high on hashish-tainted food.
Previous Episode References[]
- This is the fourth time that the song Welcome To The Jungle is played on The Simpsons, making it the most-played pop culture song on the show. It was first played in "Marge on the Lam"; the second time in "Eight Misbehavin'" and the third time in "Skinner's Sense of Snow". In the scene where the song is used in this episode, Lisa performs the same dance she did that at the beginning of "Radio Bart".
- Homer previously owned an RV in "The Call of the Simpsons. Cowboy Bob and his Bob's RV Round-Up also return. However, Cowboy Bob was not voiced by Albert Brooks in this episode instead he was voiced by Dan Castellaneta. Also Crappy RV/Homer's RV gets destroyed somehow. Also just like in the aforementioned episode Homer also bought himself a car that would get somehow destroyed in Miracle on Evergreen Terrace and Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers".
- Homer previously locked himself out of a vehicle by accident and managed to enter it offscreen in "Marge vs. the Monorail".
- The last time Bart hit Homer with a chair occurred in "A Milhouse Divided".
- "Homer's Triple Bypass": The Merry Widow Insurance Company appears, Marge wants Homer to get insurance an Homer is uninsurable.
- Brake My Wife, Please - Someone drives a vehicle only to be (almost) about to land in an ocean.
- Saturday of Thunder - Homer avoids something because of something only to show how lazy he is.
- The War of the Simpsons, Bart on the Road and Brawl in the Family - Bart (despite being to young to do so) drives a vehicle.
- Diatribe of a Mad Housewife - Homer buys a vehicle that he parks in his garden.
Cultural references[]
- Songs in this episode: Vacation by The Go-Gos, Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses, I've Been Everywhere by Johnny Cash (parodied), and Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by They Might Be Giants.
- The spider poison is called "Charlotte's Dead," an obvious parody of the children's book Charlotte's Web.

Goofs[]
The Turkish flag drawn incorrectly
The real Turkish flag
- Turkey is incorrectly depicted in this episode:
- Kahramanmaraş doesn't have a coast line.
- The Turkish flag is wrong. The star is higher up than it's supposed to be, and the moon and star look slightly tilted when they aren't in real life.
- Lisa was wearing her dress, so she didn't actually need to use the charity clothes.
- At the end of the gas station scene, when the man says “there you have it” his wife chuckles but her mouth doesn’t move.
- How did Bart and Lisa leave a note before returning the RV to the dealer even though they didn’t put the note by the RV spot?
- When Bart and Lisa go into the RV while covering their ears, the RV is facing the treehouse, but when Bart starts to drive the RV, the RV magically turns around 180 degrees facing the Flanders house.
- Maggie isn't with the Simpsons when they are on the highway, but appears on the cargo ship at the end of the episode.
- When Homer crashes into the garbage cans, captions read(CLUTTERING), rather than (CLATTERING).
- Channel 4 airings airs this episode double-pitched, which is a pitch error because episodes that air in the channel air NTSC or PAL-pitched. This episode is the only time it is double-pitched on Channel 4.
- Sky Showcase airs this episode NTSC-pitched, which is the correct pitch Channel 4 should have aired.
