- Harsher in Hindsight: When Homer's kidnappers unmask him on the Amazon river, one of them says "Better look quick; we're burning it down." Come 2019 this line feels even worse.
- Hilarious in Hindsight:
- More sexually-charged dances were indeed invented after this episode aired. You could argue "la penetrada" and "perreo" dances only differ in name.
- "The Simpsons are going to Antarctica! ...Next year." was almost correct. Homer was just off by ten years.
- Overshadowed by Controversy: This is one of the most controversial episodes and still remembered for the controversy caused, mainly for tarnishing Rio de Janeiro's reputation by showing it filled with rats, monkeys, and violence, and conflating Brazil with Hispanic stereotypes. Riotur, a Brazilian tourist board, alongside with the Brazilian government, tried to sue Fox for the episode but gave up after learning the first amendment to the United States Constitution protects the parodies. James L. Brooks issued a statement with apologies latter.We apologize to the lovely city and people of Rio de Janeiro. And if that doesn't settle the issue, Homer Simpson offers to take on the president of Brazil on Fox's Celebrity Boxing.
