* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The brunt of the reason the Simpsons are HatedByAll is that Homer and Bart's destructive antics have had consequences for the community we never saw onscreen: for example, Homer's drunken car ride through the halls of the school in "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken" cost the town $8.3 million in property damage, and Bart's flooding of the gymnasium in "Brother's Little Helper" led to a five-mile cloud of toxic mold.

* UngratefulTownsfolk: For all the trouble the Simpsons cause, they've done just as much good for Springfield's community. They've saved Krusty from prison and reunited him with his father, supported Apu when he faced deportation, frequently thwart Sideshow Bob's (and Cecil's) actually terrorism and got Mayor Quimby back into office after Sideshow Bob rigged the election.

The implication is seemingly that [[StatusQuoIsGod the Outlands was fully remade in Springfield's image]], similar to how the entire town was moved "five miles down the road" in the 200th episode, "Trash of the Titans." [[RuleOfFunny Don't think about it too hard]].
