The Simpsons: 14 Most Controversial Episodes Of All Time
12. The Fool Monty
In the opening scenes of The Fool Monty, a Fox News helicopter sporting the words Not racist, but #1 with racists was seen flying over New York City and though it was a blink and youll miss it moment, one man didnt: Fox News anchor Bill OReilly. The day after the episode aired he took to his show The Bill OReilly Factor to denounce The Simpsons and Fox Broadcasting for biting the hand that feeds them, accusing the network of allowing "its cartoon characters to run wild." Finding the whole situation rather funny, The Simpsons bit straight back inserting a brief clip in the following weeks episode featuring another Fox News helicopter, this time sporting the slogan Unsuitable for viewers under 75. Howd you like them apples, Bill?'
