YMMV / The Simpsons S 10 E 2 The Wizard Of Evergreen Terrace

• Fridge Brilliance: Homer, while boasting to his Edison poster, very quickly notices that Edison invented the six-legged chair first. Maybe Homer didn't think up the idea and subconsciously copied the Edison poster.
• Unintentional Period Piece: Homer being a Hero-Worshipper to Thomas Edison, whom he sees as the greatest inventor of all time. In later years it became more well-known that many of "his" inventions were created by his European immigrant employees (most notably Nikola Tesla's work on the electric lamp), his sole output in many cases being taking the credit for them, and his generally less savory behaviors (e.g., patent-trolling in the film industry or propaganda campaigns against alternating current) became more well-known. While it's not implausible for someone to continue to idolize Edison, it seems like the sort of thing Lisa, if nobody else, would point out.
