I’m Watching “The Simpsons” on Channel TEN! The Episode is called “King-Size Homer“!
PLOT:
Mr. Burns organizes an exercise program at the nuclear power plant that Homer is not a fan of. After learning that someone who is disabled can work from home, and thus be excluded from the exercise program, he tries to find a way to achieve this goal. Homer soon discovers that any employee that weighs 300 pounds (136 kg) or more qualifies. Homer decides to gain the 61 pounds he needs to reach 300. Homer begins eating excessively, despite Marge and Lisa‘s repeated warnings that he could severely endanger his health. With Bart‘s help, Homer soon reaches his goal, and Mr. Burns installs a stay at home work terminal in the Simpson house.
Homer is given simple duties, but he still fails to understand his duties as a safety inspector. He also finds he can no longer fit in his clothes, and he takes up wearing a muumuu as a result. Looking for shortcuts, he leaves his terminal, with a drinking bird to press the Y key to indicate “yes” on the keyboard and goes out to see a film. Refused admittance because of his size, Homer is angered after the cinema manager who offers Homer a garbage bag of popcorn if he calms down. Homer declines the offer and quickly leaves, claiming that he is not food crazy and that overweight people are as hardworking as anyone else. Returning home, he finds that, in his absence, the nodding drinking bird fell over and that a nuclear meltdown will take place at the plant. As he is unable to stop it via the computer, Homer tries to run, skateboard, and drive to the plant, all of which fail as a result of his obesity. He eventually gets to the plant by stealing an ice cream truck. Homer arrives at the power plant and climbs up to reach the shutdown button, but ends up accidentally falling onto the gas store, blocking the release tube with his buttocks. As a reward for stopping the “potential Chernobyl“, Mr. Burns gives Homer a medal and guarantees that he will make Homer thin once more. After failing to achieve any results through exercise, Burns decides to pay for liposuction so Homer can return to normal.
Couch Gag: The Simpsons are five malfunctioning wind-up dolls who buzz and waddle their way to the couch.
Chalkboard: “Indian burns are not our cultural heritage.”
