  • @kalkuttadrop6371
    @kalkuttadrop6371 Před 5 měsíci +4

    As TheRealJims pointed out, there are a lot of issues with this theory.
    1. Springfield was a Battleground in the civil war, with neighboring Shelbyville being in a Confederate State. Oregon was barely a state at the time and was nowhere near the front lines.
    2. Several of the historical episodes around Jebidiah Springfield portray the town as being settled and founded in the late 1700s, way too early for Oregon.
    3. Springfield is in a state that allows the Electric Chair or at least DID at some point(every depiction of execution uses it), but Oregon never used the chair.
    4. The VERY same episode he got the tax info from to solve the Oregon-Washington issue also has a scene where they point to Springfield on a map. We don't see where it is exactly, but it's definitely not on either coast.

      Ghost7729 people visit Washington more, about 40 million people visit Seattle alone and the surrounding counties from out of state not to mention people who only see the mountains of other places. Only about 30 million people visit all of Oregon in a year.

    • @Ghost-ir3qj
      @Ghost-ir3qj Před 4 lety +8

      Noob Gaming 26.6 million single individuals visit Oregon and 13.3 million groups yearly, very few people go somewhere other than Seattle and if you had actually read that statistic correctly you would know that 39.9 million people per year visit Seattle and the surrounding country. Its estimated that Bend oregon alone receives 20,000 daily tourists and this is one of our smaller cities. If I average the total group statistic with 3 people per group (because at minimum it has to be two), then our total tourists per year is 66.5 million people.

The quote is about 4 minutes and 28 seconds in.

    I was a gigantic Simpsons fan as a kid, and 100% believed it was Springfield, Illinois, and they had a dock is because of Lake Michigan. Ofc this is kind of dumb, because even then, Springfield is pretty far away from the lake.
    I live in Central California, so we don't really get a real winter. Definitely no snow. Winter always seemed intense on the show in comparison to mine, so I guess that was another way I rationalized it. The drive to Knoxville also seemed reasonable to me (even stopping in Missouri, although Branson is pretty out of the way according to Google Maps). I loved that episode, it was one of my favorites.
    Oregon makes much more sense than Illinois, though, although I still kind of like my reasoning as a child lol (I really thought it through, or I thought I did!) Everything about Oregon checks out.
