YMMV / The Simpsons S 9 E 24 Lost Our Lisa

• Adorkable: Lisa's excitement at being able to ride the bus is adorable to watch.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • The "Don't make me tap the sign" scene has become a popular meme template◊ on places like Twitter by people trying to make a point.
  • Lenny and Carl's completely deadpan reaction◊ to Homer claiming Lisa is so smart she caused a computer to explode, which Carl replies with "That never, uh, happened, did it, Homer?" This is used in response to a claim so outlandish that it must be fake.
• Values Dissonance:
  • The calling out of Homer for sending Lisa off to the museum on a bus alone can come across as a bit over-the-top for viewers in the UK, where it is perfectly normal for children Lisa's age to take the regular bus (not a school bus) or even public trains to school.
  • Public transport in Australia does not allow children under the age of 13 to ride alone, and will usually result in the police being contacted^note in February 2019, a nine-year-old boy was arrested for riding the Glenelg tram in Adelaide without a ticket or parent supervision, and constantly lying to drivers that his parents would be at the next stop. Bus drivers are also required to help people who are lost, and are only allowed to abandon disruptive passengers (but this is sadly not enforced).
