"'''[[Bart vs. Australia]]'''" is the 16th episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki> [[Episode Guide#Season Six (1994-1995)|sixth season]]; the episode marks the first time the family has visited another country. In [[Australia]], the episode was met with criticism due to its hugely inaccurate and stereotypical portrayal of the country, although it has been accepted as typical [[United States|American]] satire and is still aired as a re-run as often as all other episodes.  Some Australian fans of the series rather consider it an honor that Australia was featured so much in an episode at all. Subsequent Simpsons episodes exploited existing stereotypes of other countries, but this episode actually fabricated things about Australia wholesale, as the Simpsons producers admit in the DVD commentary for this episode.
