SIDS?
Abiogenic petroleum theories?
The Lusitania sinking?
Ritual female circumcision?
Lisa had an “END APARTHEID NOW!” poster on her wall for many years.
The LPGA?
Cruise ships?
Plus, there was the Simpsons episode where Homer’s conscience manifested it self as Col. Klink from Hogan’s Heroes.
400-year-old gay, black, left-handed Elvis impersonators? (& the lovers who love them!)
Been done, 2nd season? My bad.
Transformers?
From the episode where Homer gets licensed to do weddings, Patty’s almost-spouse was in the LPGA.
From the Seinfeld episode, The Andrea Doria.
George Costanza: Ahoy! Mr. Eldridge. I understand you were on the Andrea Doria.
Clarence: Yes, it was a terrifying ordeal.
George Costanza: I tell ya, I hear people really stuff themselves on those cruise ships.
[Laughs]
George Costanza: The buffet, that’s the real ordeal, huh, Clarence?
[Laughs]
George Costanza: .
Clarence: [Defensively] We had to abandon ship.
George Costanza: Well, all vacations have to end eventually.
Clarence: The boat sank!
One of the simpsons opening sequences had them as Transformers.
here is a link to a video of it.
Well…if we’re going to do this 7 degree’s of sitcom plots, you’re not going to find any topic not covered.
For Transformers, don’t forget about the Mattel and Mars Bar Quick Energy Chocobot Hour
When Lisa babysits Bart, she takes him to the ER. Smithers is standing in the waiting room, stock-still, with an empty gerbil cage.
And of course Richard Gere even guest stars in an episode (She of Little Faith), but even the Simpsons dare not try to work that joke in there.
Trotskyism?
The nurse’s checklist at the ER also contains a box for something like “Sex-related injury.” I never noticed a cage next to Smithers, but I figured he was standing up because he’d had such an injury.
OK, let me try this again.
- string theory
- n-dimensional geometry
- Pantheistic solipsism
- Sylvia Browne
- Betty v. Veronica/Mary Ann v. Ginger
ELAINE: Just because you’re a communist, does that mean you can’t wear anything nice? You look like Trotsky. It’s gorgeous. Fine, you want to be a Communist, be a Communist. Can’t you at least look like a successful Communist?
Rape?
Marge on Homer, at least twice.
Also: “Discus Stu has got Ouzo for Two-zo!”, depending on your definition.
Homer got raped by a male panda at least once.
Keep trying
