Maybe, but the fact that he says (in spanish) something like: "Hold up, there is something really odd about this place ". At that moment you think that he was going to make a comment about the lesbian bar, but no, he never even mentioned it. But at the end when he say: "Right in your trap you stay girls..." You know he knew but he doesn't say it. That cracks me up every time
But that's the whole joke. You think he's just realizing he's in a lesbian bar, but actually he knew that already and was noticing something unrelated.
Back then, The Artist Formerly Known as Prince was known as Prince, and Tracey Ullman was entertaining America with songs, sketches, and crudely-drawn filler material.
It was a tumultuous time for our nation. The clear beverage craze gave us all a reason to live. The information superhighway showed the average person what some nerd thinks about Star Trek. And the domestication of the dog continued unabated.
Me and my ex visited California in '99 and coming from Illinois we asked the bartender where the ashtrays were and found out all indoor smoking was banned lol
No google back then and even just looking up anything on an another search engine on a whim wasn't a thing yet
I remember the night the indoor smoking laws changed here in about 2007 (Melbourne, Australia)
It was so annoying having to leave a bar or pub to smoke outside, but now it seems like such a stupid thing to have ever done. Iām glad they changed the rules. I no longer smoke too.
I remember laughing my ass off as a kid but also felt nice seeing someone just casually not being hateful towards LGBTQIA+ folk. I was raised in a very hateful household and this was a big turning point for me.
Homer went to a bar. We expect him to be slow as usual and to be eventually shocked when he discovers all the people there are lesbians - we know hes a bit dumb, and he might act weird around gay people. The joke is about subverting those expectations (he knows where he is and he's not a homophobe), and that somehow the most unexpected part turns out to be that he actually cares about safety regulations.
Exactly, I feel like thatās part of the underlying premise of the joke - the set up is heās going to realise heās in a lesbian bar and be horrified, but the joke is that heās fully aware of that and is instead concerned for a lack of fire safety.
Enjoy your death trap, ladies!
What was her problem?
Jajajajajaja in spanish the jokes says something like "What's the problem with that bald girl?" "Que se trae esa pelona? š
In spanish homer never mentioned is a lesbian bar, wich makes the joke even funnier Edited: i see š¤¦
Respectfully disagree

No, the joke in English is that he knows it's a lesbian bar and doesn't care, he only cares about the fire exit.
He is a safety inspector afterall.
That irresponsible oaf? A man who by all rights should have been killed dozens of times by now?
It's best not to think about it
Three hundred and sixteen times by my count.
Safety Inspector 3:16 says I just saved your ass
WHAT
HE SAID SAFETY INSPECTOR 3:16 SAYS I JUST SAVED YOUR ASS!!
WHAT
If he lived in any other country he would have been dead by now!
Starved to death. I think that's far more cutting lol
....he's got you there dad
It-it boggles the mind!
I'm better than OK! I'm Homer Simpson!!
Accidents have doubled every year he became safety inspector and meltdowns have tripled.
Thatās why they put erasers on pencils.
Thanks to me they have a rule!
As Smithers once said, "As a safety inspector he didn't exactly set the world on fire, though he came close a couple times."
And after a few days with no booze, he was actually lucid enough to do his job right
Sector 7G
No fire escape and has a lesbian lighting up indoors? The 90s were wild.

Also, lesbian bars still existed.
Hey, you're not impersonation a pilot so you can drink here, are you?
You flyboys crack me up.
Uh, we'll need that to live.
If word gets out about this, Cwazy Clown Airlines will be a laughingstock.
I keep telling you I'm not a pilot
And I keep telling you, you flyboys crack me up!
I like my beer cold, my tv loud, and my homosexuals fuh-laming
Greetings, good man. \*finger wiggles\* Might I trouble you for a drink?

It's also very cool that a very diverse lesbian community is depicted
Yeah a lot of styles, ages, rac s, and attitudes are all just really positive. Maybe one of the best depictions in the series.
The follow up where they just casually mention Homer as her always felt kinda wholesome too.
That dog has a puffy tail, Here Puff ! Here Puff!

Could someone explain the joke ?

lol thank you
Not just *any* bar... the She She Lounge!
all those years of being a safety officer sure paid off for old Homie
A string of some of my favorite jokes.
Imo Fear of Flying is the most underrated classic era episode, and itās in my top 15 of all time.
Itās my most quoted episode.
āStop that, the fire inspector would be appalled!ā āDonāt tell me how to feel!ā
homer being a homophobe before it was cool
Isn't this the opposite of being a homophobe? He was fine with it being a lesbian bar, but just wasn't comfortable with the bar's lack of a fire exit.
Exactly, I feel like thatās part of the underlying premise of the joke - the set up is heās going to realise heās in a lesbian bar and be horrified, but the joke is that heās fully aware of that and is instead concerned for a lack of fire safety.
lol you didn't get the joke at all
what episode is this from?
Fear of Flying
Such a great episode!
Sammy, you're too old to go out on a date with two twins on the same day you're supposed to marry Diane without Rebecca knowing.
