    • Quotes

      [the teenagers Homer and Barney are doing an acapella version of "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" in front of a mirror]

      Middle-aged Grampa: What the Hell are you two doin'?

      Young Barney: It's called rockin' out!

      Young Homer: You wouldn't understan', dad. You're not *with it*.

      Middle-aged Grampa: I used to be with it, but then they changed what *it* was. Now what I'm with isn't *it*, and what's *it* seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you...

    Typical but Classic Homer Simpson,
    Homerpalooza is a fantastic Simpsons episode with a very well written storyline that is filled with very funny scenes and memorable quotes.The humour in the episode is quite different from a usual episode,for example,there are several jokes about getting high,which you would rarely see on the Simpsons,but this didn't bother me one bit,it was fun to see the show take a different turn that was unique and still hilarious.Some of the many quotes of Homer is definitely this episodes highlight,like his comment on Christianity and saying that the concert spread a good message just because he had "no litter" written on his stomach.Homerpalooza is a hilarious Simpsons that fans will definitely enjoy.

    After it is discovered a cannonball to the stomach dosen't affect Homer,he tracked around with several well known music artists in the Hullabalooza music festival as part of the show.
