Vice City (Hyperbole in The Simpsons)

The Simpsons is a big hyperbole by itself, as it is a satire on American society. All we see are hyperboles of what Americans do wrong. In this case it's something of a vice city (grand theft auto; a video game), Americans can buy weapons really easily, and in some latino infested cities, there was a lot of violence with said weapons.
In this clip from The Simpsons we see Homer trying to buy a gun, because he's angry. And as he starts horsing around with it, the clerk offers him some accessories: silencer, loudener, and an 'rpg' to shoot down police helicopters. Just in this sentence there is Hyperbole, as one can see with the 'rpg'.
