"Woah! Hemorrhage-a-mundo!"-Homer Simpson
At the beginning of this episode, Bart is digging a hole in the backyard. No one in the family can figure out the reason for his digging, but it continues throughout the night. Eventually, Marge invites Dr. Coffman over to deal with Bart. Dr. Coffman is "a special kind of talking doctor," according to Marge. He is the stereotype of psychologists/psychiatrists. He is in a tweed suit jacket with glasses perched in the middle of his nose. He is an older male with a little bit of facial hair. Although Bart says few words, Dr. Coffman scribbles feverishly on his notepad throughout most of the short visit. This episode pokes fun at the stereotypical psychologist/psychiatrist and reveals the perceived ideas associated with those professions.
There is another small part in the episode dealing with health. Homer wants to change a song on the jukebox, so he punches it and then realizes that his hand is all bloody. He then proclaims, "Woah! Hemorrhage-a-mundo!" Luckily for Homer, his injuries (regardless of the seriousness) always seem to heal completely within the 22 episode and are gone by the next show.
