    • Quotes

      [after Homer drove the van into a tree]

      Arnie Pie: He's jumping out of the car, Kent. He's trying to climb over the fence. He's realizing he's too fat. He's digging a hole like a dog! Now he's giving up on that and he's running back and forth. He's climbing into a pipe and he appears to be stuck. His legs are dangling in a comical fashion. Oh, it's the saddest thing I've ever seen!

      Kent Brockman: Arnie, how are the *children*?

      Arnie Pie: [irritated] I can't see through *metal*, Kent.

      Chief Wiggum: [catching Homer in the act] All right, Fatty. Out of the pipe!

    It's painful how bad this episode is
    Oh wow. This is a bad episode.

    It's one of those where the writers just go for "Homer is dumb" jokes, and hope it passes off as endearing.

    Here it does not.

    A skippable episode if ever there was one.
