Is the original Simpsons episode making fun of people that climb Mount Everest as a feat while also paying the Sherpas to carry all their equipment, food, & water?
In the episode (s09e23) Homer is being used to market a bogus nutritional bar by climbing the tallest mountain in Springfield. The company owners are aware that he’ll never be able to survive the climb on his own because their product doesn’t work so they pay two Sherpas to advance through the climb while he’s sleeping.
