YMMV / The Simpsons S5 E13 "Homer and Apu"

• Common Knowledge: Snake tries to shoot James Woods, but Apu takes the bullet. It's actually not Snake, but a generic robber.
• Franchise Original Sin: James Woods' appearance feels a lot like later episode where celebrities playing themselves show up for no good reason. It's somewhat more tolerable here since Woods is Adam Westing as a slightly crazier version of himself.
• Memetic Mutation: The image of Apu diving in front of the robber's bullet has resurfaced as a meme template to mock fans who blindly defend their idols from even fair and accurate criticism.
• Nausea Fuel: The hot dog that falls on the floor of the Kwik-E-Mart looks absolutely disgusting, thanks to the Gross-Up Close-Up detailing all the mold, grime and even a dead fly on it.
