As a devoted cinephile, I can confidently say that no matter where The Simpsons go – be it abroad or within the confines of their home country – they always manage to inject fun into their escapades. In this piece, we’ll take a nostalgic stroll through some of their most memorable journeys, perfect for those who want to relive the magic by rewatching these classic episodes.
Japan
In “Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo,” the Simpson family embarks on a spontaneous journey to Japan, having obtained tickets from the Flanders unlawfully. However, their adventure takes a turn for the worse when Homer and Bart land in jail, necessitating Marge’s intervention. To escape their predicament, they find themselves thrust into a chaotic game show where they strive to earn enough money to return home.
The Yellow Lotus
In an apparent witty imitation of “The White Lotus,” the Simpsons venture to a lavish resort they’ve been footing the bill for since Bart was born, only to discover they’ve amassed very little vacation time. Despite this, they manage to slip in undetected and find themselves entangled in some extravagant wealthy individuals’ conflicts. Notably, Sideshow Bob is also present at this resort.
Brazil
Every time Lisa racks up a large phone bill by phoning Brazil to chat with an orphan she supports, the family decides to visit him instead. During their trip, they experience life in South America firsthand, complete with dubious kids’ TV programs and the frequent sight of Speedos. Additionally, we discover that monkeys find children sweet like sugar.
Mr. Burns’ Summer Estate
In undeniably one of its finest movie spoofs, “Treehouse Of Horror V” from The Simpsons, portrays the family taking care of Mr. Burns’ vacation house during winter. Unfortunately, due to a scarcity of television and beer, Homer descends into madness, much like in The Shining. They humorously refer to this as “The Shinning,” in an effort to avoid legal trouble.
Dude Ranch
As a die-hard movie enthusiast, let me put it this way: When Homer pens a popular tune bashing Ned Flanders, the family takes off to an old Western ranch to hide from its fame. In this flick titled “Dude, My Ranch Disappeared,” Lisa finds herself smitten with a charming cowboy lad, while Bart and Homer engage in a turf war with some feisty beavers. Moe, on the other hand, snatches up producer David Burns and composes his chart-topper “Moe, Moe, Moe.
Australia
As a devoted cinephile, let me tell you about my favorite movie titled “Bart vs. Australia.” In this hilarious adventure, our beloved Simpsons embark on yet another journey, prompted by an astronomical phone bill accrued by mischievous Bart. The family sets sail for the land down under to allow Bart the chance to make amends.
However, as any dedicated Simpsons fan would predict, Bart’s contrition proves elusive! Matters escalate to such an extent that the family is forced to flee the country in dramatic fashion – by helicopter, no less! This film is a must-watch for any Simpsons enthusiast who loves a good chuckle and an unforgettable escapade.
New York
After Barney had a wild spree lasting two months, using Homer’s car without permission, the family discovers the vehicle is in New York City. Homer grapples with numerous traffic violations and a towed tire, while the rest of the family explores the city. The storyline “The Trial of Homer Simpson” is reminiscent of the show’s nod to the movie “C.H.U.D.“.
Tanzania
In the animated series “The Simpsons,” a bag boy strike leads the family on an unexpected trip to Tanzania following Homer’s bite into an old golden animal cracker. Their adventure takes them through various locations, including the jungle and a chimp sanctuary. However, they discover that Tanzania is experiencing political turmoil as they prepare for their return flight, accompanied by the country’s former leader.
France
As a passionate movie buff, I’ve always been captivated by “The Simpsons,” particularly its episodes set in France. Among these, the one that stands out most to fans is undeniably “The Crepes Of Wrath.” This time around, Bart finds himself in France as part of an exchange program and lands with winemakers who sneakily add antifreeze to their wine. In a twist of events, Bart exposes their deception, leading to their arrest. However, his actions earned him nationwide admiration in the country!
London
The Regina Monologues” presents an adventure for the Simpson family in London, England, following Bart’s generous gift of a trip using his earnings from selling a $1000 bill. In this episode, Grandpa Abe embarks on a quest to find his lost love, Edwina. This particular installment is memorable due to guest appearances by renowned figures such as Sir Ian McKellen, Tony Blair, J.K. Rowling, and Evan Marriott, who portray themselves in the story.
Iceland
Homer and the bar buddies follow Carl (one of the most fascinating characters from The Simpsons) to his native Iceland after discovering that he left the country with winnings from a joint lottery ticket. For more information about Carl’s background and reasons for apparently betraying his friends, watch “The Saga Of Carl.
China
The episode titled “Goo Goo Gai Pan” focuses on a secondary character from “The Simpsons,” Marge’s sister Selma, who embarks on a travel journey to China with the intention of adopting a child. In an attempt to increase her chances, Selma falsely lists Homer as her husband. However, she eventually admits the truth and still manages to bring home her new daughter, Ling.
Israel
The Greatest Tale Ever Spun” introduces The Simpsons to Israel, where Ned Flanders attempts a valiant effort to rescue Homer from spiritual peril. It’s worth noting that the Simpson family struggles to maintain their usual manners in the new country, but in an unexpected twist, Homer demonstrates his virtues, leading Flanders to reconsider his opinion of his neighbor.
India
When a television show spans more than ten years, it covers a lot of ground. Yet, I find it surprising that it took the seventeenth season for “The Simpsons” to set foot in India! Homer mistakenly finds himself in the country after believing the Springfield power plant was being shifted to Illinois or Indiana. However, he is soon revered as a deity by his coworkers, although they later confess that they were merely indulging him and appreciative for the American perks like job-site coffee breaks.
Toronto
Bart breaks up with Rainier Wolfcastle’s daughter, but later realizes he’s not over her. He joins her family on a trip to Toronto, hoping to win her back from Milhouse. They argue over her, causing a disturbance during a curling game, and both ultimately lose her affection. However, the incident brings them closer as friends again.
The Grand Canyon
As a dedicated fan of The Simpsons, I’d say that Maude Flanders’ demise in one of the series’ most somber episodes left a profound impact. However, in the enchanting episode titled “The Fland Canyon,” Maude made an unexpected return. This time around, Homer reminisces about a family trip the Simpsons and the Flanders took to the breathtaking Grand Canyon. Despite their usual differences, they managed to find unity and strengthen their bond when they found themselves stranded amidst this natural marvel’s grandeur.
Antarctica
Bart organizes an extravagant sea voyage for his loved ones by getting rid of his belongings, yet as the adventure nears its conclusion, he fabricates a crisis alert about a pandemic, urging everyone to prolong the trip indefinitely. The episode “A Totally Fun Thing Bart Will Never Do Again” concludes with all discovering Bart’s trickery, leaving Bart’s family stranded in Antarctica as the ship heads back home.
Space
In an uncanny foreshadowing of events, Homer Simpson became one of the early private citizens to venture into space, well before Gayle King expressed anxiety about her own space journey. The “Deep Space Homer” mission turned out to be a chaotic experience for the astronauts who had Homer as their cosmic companion, but they eventually returned safely.
Utah
Lisa creates a documentary about her family, and amazingly, it’s selected for screening at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. “Any Given Sundance” is an engaging episode for those unfamiliar with this renowned film festival, and even more captivating to watch if you’re already acquainted with it.
Italy
In a twist of events, “The Italian Version of Bob” organizes a vacation for the family in Italy, where they encounter Sideshow Bob who has established a respectable life with his own family. However, Lisa accidentally reveals his previous history, and it’s Krusty to the rescue as he helps shield him from his former work partner’s wrath.
Michigan
As I recall the classic tale of “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?”, it brought a surprising revelation – Homer had an older half-brother I never knew about! Although Herb Powell didn’t play a significant role in the later episodes of The Simpsons, he did extend an invitation to our family to visit his lavish mansion in Detroit. Needless to say, we were quite taken aback by the opulent lifestyle he had managed to create for himself.
Scotland
In ‘The Simpsons’, the Scotland escapade might remind you of The Beatles’ song ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’, but this time it wasn’t about romance – instead, they were on a quest to discover the Loch Ness monster. In one of the funniest twists in an episode, the monster eventually landed a job at a casino in Las Vegas.
Ireland
In “In The Name Of The Grandfather,” Homer decides to venture into the pub industry with an aim to revive an Irish bar that his father frequented during war times. Notably, the Star Trek actor Colm Meaney, who best portrays Ireland in the science fiction series, makes a special appearance in this episode.
Aruba
It might seem unusual given that Marge went on a trip with Moe, but surprisingly, they were inseparable during the events of “Mommie Beerest”. This is because she entered into a business partnership with him at the tavern. Who would have guessed that they’d become friends, considering how often he referred to her as “Midge.
Las Vegas
Among the many memorable episodes of The Simpsons, “Viva Ned Flanders” stands out as a significant vacation installment. In this episode, Homer and Ned have an unforgettable night out, culminating in both men marrying Las Vegas showgirls. Regrettably for them, what transpired in the city of sin was not confined to it, leading them to face some fallout and navigate their way out of a tricky situation.
Hawaii
Bart and Homer are exiled to a secluded community in Hawaii due to their suspicion of having contracted leprosy; however, most viewers might not recall “Little Big Mom” for that reason. Instead, many Simpsons enthusiasts would likely remember the episode for a particular scene showcasing Ned Flanders, where it seems he’s dressed in nothing but his underwear.
Los Angeles
Given its frequent exploration of Hollywood and films, it’s surprising that it hadn’t happened before. However, the moment arrives in “Angry Dad: The Movie,” where Bart and Lisa must deceive Homer to sneak off and watch the premiere of Bart’s well-received short film, which Homer has been claiming as his own achievement.
Vancouver
The Simpsons features an episode covering almost any subject you can think of, and if you doubt this, simply consider the one set at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, focusing entirely on the sport of curling. Remarkably, this episode gained even more significance years later when it accurately predicted the U.S. men’s team winning a gold medal.
Morocco
In “Treehouse of Horror II,” the Simpson family finds themselves in Morocco. Here, Homer stumbles upon a monkey’s paw. Eager to make their most extravagant wishes come true, the family tries using this mystical artifact, but as we all know from stories about monkey’s paws, good things often come with hidden costs.
Pennsylvania
Following a mortifying incident, Ned Flanders discreetly moves his family to Pennsylvania, seeking a community that matches his tight-knit personality even at its most grating. Simultaneously, Homer experiences troubles with a pushy new neighbor, leading to “Home Away From Homer” and both men discovering they value their friendship significantly more than any disagreements.
Mexico
In essence, the neighbor referred to as “Bob Next Door” misleads the family into believing he’d kidnapped Bart and taken him to Mexico to kill him. However, it was a ruse since Bob actually went to Five Corners instead. For our current narrative, that detail is not crucial. What matters here is that while Bart was in peril, Homer found himself embroiled in a dispute with someone in Mexico over the correct Spanish translation of “taco.
Cuba
The Predicament of Quadrillions” finds Mr. Burns and Homer in Cuba, escaping the country’s government after Homer aids his affluent employer in dodging them. Regrettably, their plan to purchase the island falls flat when Fidel Castro requests to inspect the invoice and ultimately declines to return it.
Hong Kong
In the adventure titled “Bart On The Road,” the mischievous Bart takes his pals on a series of travels, with a fabricated driver’s license as their ticket. However, when their road trip goes awry, Bart finds himself in a tight spot and is compelled to work as a courier for cash. This leads him to catch a flight to Hong Kong, where he must transport eyeballs to ensure his safe return to Springfield.
