* {{Woolseyism}}: As the pun "The gassy knoll" doesn't really work outside of America, the Finnish subtitles on Disney+ translate it as "Mainilan tankkaukset" (essentially meaning "Mainila fuel"). This refers to the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelling_of_Mainila shelling of Mainila]] ("Mainilan laukaukset"), a 1939 Soviet FalseFlagOperation on the russian village of Mainila near the (then) Finland-Russia border, which the country then used as a casus belli to kickstart the winter war.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The entire concept of The Slaughterhouse is so obscenely wrong that is shoots the moon back to being hilarious. Not only do patrons both pick the cow they're going to eat ''and'' watch it get killed in front of you, but literally everything (the menus, the candelabra) is made of animal parts.

The issue isn't so much them having self-driving trucks as them claiming that they're doing all the work themselves.


* InformedWrongness: The truckers are portrayed as lazy conmen for having computers drive their trucks. However, the Autodrive seems completely safe (Homer actually would have died without it) and they apparently own it, so there's no real reason they shouldn't be able to make money off it.

Complaining, the original entry is much more neutral.


* InformedWrongness: The truckers are apparently the rightful owners of a system that drives their trucks, which seems much safer than regular trucking (Homer actually would have died without it).

* FridgeLogic: When Homer and Bart are fishing, Bart tells Homer they have to cover 2,200 miles to Atlanta, Georgia, in 10 hours. How is it possible in a semi-truck (that's also loaded, not empty), we'll never know. The semi-trucks' maximum speeds are generally about 100 mph, and then there are speed limits, which vary state to state, from 65 to 80 mph. Also, if Atlanta was 2,200 miles away from their location, they must have still been somewhere in the West Coast or Rockies, for Atlanta is just 2,200 miles from Los Angeles, California; and the only places more further from Atlanta are in Northern California, Oregon and Washington. Also, previously, when they set off on the road, Bart mentions that they'd have to make it to Atlanta in three days. While we don't know where the fictional Springfield is, but if we assume it's based on Matt Groening's hometown of Portland, Oregon, which is between 2,600-2,700 miles from Atlanta - which can be driven in three days with sleeping breaks, then it would mean that so far, Homer and Bart had only driven for about 400-500 miles.
