1* BrokenBase: This episode is generally considered to be one of the best season 12 episodes, especially from fans of Music/TheWho. However a small group of fans ''despise'' the episode because of the scene when Homer attempts to blow up the city hall (and the ridiculousness of the episode in general). By the number of "Worst Simpsons Episodes" lists it's been on, you'd think it was much worse-received.
2* CrossesTheLineTwice: Homer threatening a suicide bombing over the area code changes? Not very funny. However...
3-->'''Homer:''' ''[repeatedly pushes the plunger, nothing happens, annoyed]'' Oh, nice wiring, Bart!\
4'''Bart:''' ''[defensive]'' It worked on the test corpse![[note]]the closed captions reveal that the original line was "It worked on the test goat".[[/note]]
5* {{Squick}}: Homer revealing that the badger ripped out his abdominal wall and left his guts exposed is pretty gross. It's less NightmareFuel than it could be, due to his [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction ridiculously calm]] treatment of the situation.
