That seems to be Artistic License – Geography or a related trope.
A joke where the context relies on taking an impossible mode of transportation to a certain location (e.g. land-based across an ocean, surface-based into space)
Examples I've seen in The Simpsons, where Homer defiantly argues that he can walk to Turkmenistan, and in The Muppets where they realize they can't drive to France... Because it's way too far. Both works take place in the United States.
