THE CARTRIDGE FAMILY - HOMER BUYS A GUN

After a football match the residents of Springfield riot leaving Homer feeling his house is not secure; so he tries to buy a gun.  Look what happens when he discovers there is a five day cooling off period.

It has some classic Homer when a salesman tries to bump up the price of his house (and family's) security;

SALESMAN : But surely you can't put a price on your family's lives
HOMER : I wouldn't have thought so either, but here we are

Homer is of course no stranger to a gun and has had one in numerous Simpsons' episodes

 <<< Homer looking down the barrel




Homer's make up gun >>>>>>>>




Some good quotes from this episode;

HOMER : I don't have to be careful, I have a gun


MARGE : Of all the terrible things you've ever done in your life, this is the most despicable!
HOMER : But Marge, I swear to you, I never thought you'd find out


Things that pass Homer as he sits in his front garden waiting for the cooling of period to end, allowing him to shoot something;
TARGET STORE TRUCK, FLOCK OF DUCKS, GROUP OF RABBITS, PATTY AND SELMA AND FLANDERS

The Gun Shop in this episode is called Bloodbath and Beyond!

All in all, I think Moe's gun from this episode is a little more dangerous.

WHEN HOMER GOT (REALLY) FAT

KING SIZED HOMER

Sick of having to go to work and do Mr Burns's exercise classes in the morning, Homer decides to find and easy life and claim he is disabled and can work at home.  To achieve this he decides to increase his weight until he has to work from home.  Having a PC installed in his house, it leads to this amusing moment when Homer has to press 'any key' to continue;

Bored at home his day has few highlights.  Except the mailman, a chance to freshen up his fat guy hat.

This episode has lots of good quote, here are a few of my favourites

Jimbo talking about Homer : I heard that guy's ass has it's own Congressman

HOMER : Hey where's Charlie? How'd he get out of this

CARL : Aw he's at home on disibility

LENNY : Yeah, h got injured on the job and they sent him home with pay.  It's like a lottery that rewards stupidity

HOMER : Stupidity eh?

MARGE : Have you lost your mind? Have you thought about your health or you appearance?

HOMER : Oh so that's it isn't it Marge?  Looks, i didn't know you were so shallow

MARGE : Oh please, I would love you if you were 1.000 pounds but...

HOMER : Beautiful, goodnight

HOMER : Shame on you all, give me my dignity.  I just came here to watch Honk if you're Horny in peace

MANAGER : Sir, if you just quiet down I'd be happy to treat you to a garbage bag full of popcorn

A HOMAGE TO THE SIMPSONS

I started watching the Simpsons pretty much from when they started showing it in the UK.  The first episode I saw was the one where the family attend Mr Burns's employee picnic for his birthday and end up going to Dr Marvin Monroe's clinic for help, and electrocuting each other.  Homer pawns the TV to get the money with Dr Monroe's double your money back guarantee in mind.  Needless to say the Doctor fails and the Simpson double their money.  

I wasn't that impressed by the episode and Dr Monroe really annoyed me.  It led to the commercial starring Bart and Dr Monroe, listen to how annoying his voice is.  

I have a few quotes from the episode that are pretty funny though.

HOMER : Quick, Bart give me a kiss

BART : Kiss you? But, Dad, I'm your kid

HOMER : Bart, please.  Five bucks for a kiss

MR BURNS : And you must be... Brat

BART : Bart

HOMER : Don't correct the man Brat 

MR BURNS : And make yourself at home

BART : Hear that Dad? You can lie around in your underwear and scratch yourself

Homer to God : You're everywhere, you're omnivorous

Bart saying Grace : Rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub

The Simpsons has come along way since then, the characters are a lot funnier and the focus has switched from cheeky Bart to the clumsy Homer as the main character.
