YMMV / The Simpsons S 16 E 15 Future Drama

• Crosses the Line Twice: Future Smithers revealing that he now takes regular shots to make him heterosexual? Horrifying and offensive. Him immediately taking a shot which causes him to have dilated pupils and shout "I love boobies", while looking uncomfortable? Becomes too hilariously ridiculous to take seriously.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Bart sacrifices his personal happiness and future so Lisa can avoid marrying Milhouse. A later episode showed that not only would she end up marrying him anyway, but their daughter is older than Bart’s kids, meaning she was conceived not long after this episode.
• Heartwarming in Hindsight: Homer and Bart drive through the "Quantum Tunnel" in their hovercar where Bender appears out of nowhere:
  Bender: All right! You guys are my new best friends!
  Homer: You wish, loser! [throws Bender out of the hovercar]
  • Then ten seasons later, in "Simpsorama", Homer and Bender do become friends after all, and Bender spends the next 1,000 years dormant in their basement.
• Memetic Mutation: You're gay for Moleman!
