The Simpsons: 20 Most Shocking Moments Ever

5. Bart Moons Australia - "Bart Vs. Australia" (6.16)

This was probably a lot more shocking if you were both Australian and very easily offended at the time when the episode first aired, but the extreme level of controversy brought on by these classic 22 minutes of television guarantees its place on the list.

Bart moons the Australian government with "Don't trend on me" written on his butt.
