Identifying Hyperbole

In this Simpsons clip, there are constant examples of hyperboles. A Hyperbole is exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. An example of a hyperbole in this clip would be the confederate flag that is on the wall behind Homer, or when he says, " I don't have to be careful I have a gun." Hyperboles are a constantly used in the Simpsons in different ways, personally I would say that its because of the use of hyperboles that we find any humor in the Simpsons at all. Its all about using exaggerations, in order to have a point or make one.
