YMMV / The Simpsons S 26 E 13 "Walking Big and Tall"

• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • This episode features Homer joining a weight control group that encourages morbid obesity in its members. While the idea seemed ridiculous at the time, this part of the episode foreshadows extremist segments of the body positivity movement, which have become known for similarly dangerous actions.
  • In retrospect, Bart is a little disturbed that Homer and Marge "let a crazy man spend all night in my bedroom" in the 1991 episode "Stark Raving Dad," to which Homer responds, "Simpler time." Just four years later, the Simpsons producers would pull "Stark Raving Dad" from circulation, digital media, and DVD reprints out of a belief that its guest star, Michael Jackson, used the episode to groom young boys for sexual abuse.
