The Simpsons: Homer Simpson in: "Kidney Trouble"

When Homer refuses to pull the car over and let Grampa go to the bathroom, the old man's kidneys explode. Out of guilt, Homer agrees to donate one of his kidneys to his father--but ends up running away when Homer's friends scare him with worst-case scenarios of what could happen during and after the operation.

Episode Goofs
In this episode, Grampa's kidneys explode, which can't happen in real life, since the bladder is the storage unit for urine in the human body, not the kidneys.
