Fridge / The Simpsons S 8 E 18 Homer Vs The Eighteenth Amendment

• Fridge Brilliance: Of course the family would have Lisa grounded and sent to her room when she learns about Homer's beer smuggling. In light of her taking several levels in jerkass and becoming more law abiding, she could turn her father in for alcohol smuggling and have him and Moe catapulted.
  • Her opposition wasn't totally because of the actual act of smuggling, it was mostly because she was worried Homer would get caught and in trouble for it. Why would she turn him in?
• Fridge Logic: The Duff Beer corporation goes out of business in less than a day after Springfield goes dry, despite the fact that previous episodes have established Duff being based in Capitol City and has a nationwide presence. So even if it had a large customer base in Springfield, the town banning alcohol should not have been that big of an impact on their sales.
