    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Jay North reprises his role as the title character of the 1959-1963 situation comedy Ville Vallaton (1959) at Greaser's grand opening. His failure to impress Bart is a reference to Matt Groening's dislike of the TV show which was actually Groening's inspiration for creating the character of Bart Simpson first intended to be a "harder version" of Dennis Mitchell.
    • Goofs
      Homer is reading a biker magazine whose cover girl wears a bikini that covers about half of her butt. After a few camera angle changes, the girl is wearing a thong which leaves her butt bare.
    • Quotes

      Homer Simpson: The first meeting of Hell's Satans is called to order.

      Ned Flanders: I move to reconsider our club name. Make it something a little less blasphemous. After all

      [chuckles]

      Ned Flanders: , we don't wanna *go* to hell.

      Lenny: How 'bout The Devil's Pals.

      Ned Flanders: [nervously chuckles] Nuh-no... see...

      Moe Szyslak: How about the Christ punchers?

      Ned Flanders: The Chri...! I-I don't think you understand my objections.

      Homer Simpson: I'm the president and the decision is mine. We're Hell's Satans. Besides, I already made our club jackets.

      [Homer hold up a jacket with Hell's Satans imprinted on the back]

      Lenny: Ooo, machine wash warm.

      Carl: Tumble dry... Oooh lah lah.

    Homer starts a biker gang,what more do I need to say?
    Some people just live to complain about things, by lack of a use. Apparently, this episode is bad because Marge throwing around motorcycles is like, so unrealistic. A cartoon can't have that. Isn't the whole point of the joke how unrealistic it is? Seriously, that's the whole thing behind it, and it's hilarious. That's the life of a television writer, all they have to console themselves are the tuns and tuns of cash. You slave to entertain people and you come up with jokes far far above average sitcom standards, and then suddenly you have people with no life saying that one particular joke is not very realistic. Get a girlfriend. Season 11 of "The Simpsons" rocked, and the show didn't sink like a brick until at least two seasons later. Best scene: Bart teaching Homer to ride by using training wheels. That's just good stuff.
