File this under shit I’m still impressed the show got away with in 1991:

Lisa's Pony7

That is, uh, not subtle.

    The days when The Simpsons were daring and took risks to bypass the censors

    Call me dumb but I don’t get what is there to censor so much. Is this because “Atomic Pile” is some penis reference or what?

      She’s holding the rod suggestively. Rod = penis

        lol sounds too 34’d to me. On the same scale, Marge’s hair can also be suggestive.

          Not even remotely. That calendar picture is a very direct (and obvious) joke.

    This wasn’t really anything risque for 1991.

    Then of course there was this gem:
    “Look, Homer, all of us pull a few boners now and then, go off half-cocked,
    make asses of ourselves. So, I don’t want to be hard on you, but I just
    wish you wouldn’t curse in front of my boys”

      I have always noticed this joke and I’ve never seen any reference to it in any review of the episode I’ve read. Ah, the days when The SImpsons didn’t care about the censors and were funny about it. Nowadays they don’t care but every joke such as those are tasteless.
