“The Simpsons” (1997)
In the episode “The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson,” the Simpson family embarks on a trip to New York City. The episode includes a storyline where Homer has parked his car at one of the towers of the World Trade Center, leading to various humorous references to the Twin Towers. The jokes surrounding the towers were originally considered innocent when the episode first aired in 1997, and the creators intended it as an affectionate homage to the city. However, following the tragic events of the 9/11 attacks, the jokes took on a new significance, and the episode was consequently removed from repeat viewings.
