New Zealand has been compared to the ultimate Simpsons' dweeb, Milhouse.
New Zealand has been compared to the ultimate Simpsons' dweeb, Milhouse.
It could be the biggest insult ever thrown our way: New Zealand is the Milhouse of Australia.
Fans of The Simpsons will know just how offensive this remark is. Milhouse Van Houten is the ultimate nerd and crybaby - and a running joke in the cartoon series.
So just whatsparked this outrageous claim?
In a new episode of the series, which screened on US television this week, Bart and Milhouse are seen discussing The Hobbit and film-maker Sir Peter Jackson.

Subtitles then pop up with the ultimate insult: "New Zealand (The Milhouse of Australia). www.nzfilmhere.nz"
It's not the first time the cartoon comedy has turned to Sir Peter for inspiration - last year, the family embarked on an epic journey through middle-earth in one of the most elaborate couch gags ever featured on the show.
