"'''Blame It on Lisa'''" is the fifteenth episode of the [[The Simpsons season 13|thirteenth season]] of the American animated television series ''[[The Simpsons]]''.

Written by [[Bob Bendetson]] and directed by [[Steven Dean Moore]], "Blame It on Lisa" features several references to [[popular culture]], including a parody of the Brazilian children's television host [[Xuxa]] and an allusion to the film ''[[A Trip to the Moon]]''. When it originally aired on the [[Fox network]] in the United States on March 31, 2002, it was seen by around eleven million people. In 2010, the episode was released on DVD and Blu-ray along with the rest of the episodes of the thirteenth season.

"Blame It on Lisa" attracted controversy in Brazil because of its inclusion of clichés and stereotypes, including frequent depictions of crime, slums and rat infestations, as well as cultural inaccuracies.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://silo.tips/download/stereotyping-brazil-an-analysis-of-the-episode-blame-it-on-lisa-of-the-cartoon-t|title=[PDF] Stereotyping Brazil: An analysis of the Episode Blame it on Lisa of the Cartoon The Simpsons - Free Download PDF|website=Silo.tips|access-date=April 11, 2022|archive-date=April 10, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220410142511/https://silo.tips/download/stereotyping-brazil-an-analysis-of-the-episode-blame-it-on-lisa-of-the-cartoon-t|url-status=live}}</ref> Riotur, the [[tourist board]] of Rio de Janeiro, planned on taking legal action against Fox for damaging the international image of the city. [[James L. Brooks]], executive producer of ''The Simpsons'', soon issued an apology to Rio de Janeiro.

==Plot==
[[File:Xuxa em premie do filme Senna, 2010.jpg|thumb|[[Xuxa Meneghel]] is parodied in the episode by character Xoxchitla.]]
[[Marge Simpson|Marge]] discovers that the [[Simpson family]] has run up a $400.00 telephone bill due to a call to [[Brazil]]. After the phone company cuts off the family's service for non-payment and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] repeatedly injures himself trying to restore it, [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] admits that she made the call in order to stay in touch with Ronaldo, an orphan boy she has been sponsoring. She had been receiving monthly letters from him until recently; when they stopped, she called the orphanage where he was staying and was told that he had gone missing. When Lisa plays a videotaped message from Ronaldo, telling her that he used her money to buy a pair of dancing shoes, Homer, Marge, and [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] decide to fly to Brazil with her and find him. They leave [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] in the care of [[Patty and Selma]].

Once the Simpsons arrive in [[Rio de Janeiro]], they begin searching for Ronaldo—first in the city's slums, then at his orphanage—but without success. When they split into pairs to cover more ground, Homer and Bart are robbed by a gang of children and later kidnapped in a taxicab. Bart escapes to tell Marge and Lisa, and the kidnappers take Homer to a hideout within the Brazilian rainforest and demand $50,000.00 for his release. Unable to pay the ransom themselves or to borrow the money from anyone in Springfield, the remaining three Simpsons begin looking for Homer. They get caught up in a [[Carnaval]] parade, during which Lisa finds Ronaldo—now working as a [[flamingo]]-costumed dancer on a popular children's television program. He explains that the shoes he bought led to this job and a high salary, and gives the Simpsons the $50,000.00 they need, noting that he keeps all his earnings since he has no parents who can steal from him.

When they arrive at a meeting point arranged by the kidnappers—on adjacent [[aerial lift]] cars above [[Sugarloaf Mountain]]—they find that Homer has developed [[Stockholm syndrome]] and made a scrapbook to remember his kidnapping. They throw the money across and Homer jumps to the family's car, only for the cables to break and send them tumbling down the mountainside. They survive unharmed, and Homer thanks his family for being there to get him out of trouble. Bart is immediately swallowed whole by an [[anaconda]], but is not troubled and begins dancing to samba music.
