  • Belle may possibly be named after Belle Watling, the owner of the burlesque house in Gone with the Wind.
  • When Homer stops the destruction of the burlesque house, Reverend Lovejoy says "This house is a very, very, very fine house", a reference to the Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young song "Our House".
  • The title is not only a pun on the movie title The Brother from Another Planet (The Simpsons has also spoofed this title with the episode title "Brother from the Same Planet"), but also a reference to the fact that guest stars Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce also play bickering and childishly competitive brothers on the sitcom Frasier. A title card just before the start of the second act explicitly brings up this connection.
  • Cecil's guess of "Maris?" (see quotes) is a reference to Niles' never-seen wife on Frasier. According to the season 8 DVD commentary, writers for this episode ran the script by NBC executives and writers for Frasier. The only thing they took exception to was a brief scene showing a character named "Maris". Their argument was, "We don't show Maris." To which Kelsey Grammer repeats, "You can never show Maris."
  • Bob concedes that the Cappadocians are the only civilization in history that has ever considered chief hydrological engineer a calling.
  • Larry's line "I tell ya, I get no regard. No regard at all. No esteem neither." is a reference to Dangerfield's famous catchphrase, "I don't get no respect."
  • Frank Grimes' way of waddling around the plant spoofs the scene from the Charlie Chaplin film Modern Times when Chaplin's character has a nervous breakdown from being overworked and begins waddling around the factory, tightening anything that looks like a loose nut with his wrenches. The only difference is that Chaplin's character didn't die in an electrocution that Frank Grimes did.
  • The Japanese businessman in the Mr. Sparkle corporate video is bathing in a sentō, a communal bath. He tells the watching "American investor" that he (the investor) is interested in distributing Mr. Sparkle in his "home prefecture" referring to the jurisdictional divisions of Japan, as opposed to "home State".
  • Businesses in the port include "It's a Wonderful Knife" (parodying the movie It's a Wonderful Life) and Planet Hype (parodying the real-life celebrity-owned restaurant Planet Hollywood).
  • The reason Lisa choses to be a babysitter is because she reads 2 "Babysitter Twins" books an obvious spoof of the Ann M. Martin series The Babysitters Club
  • Rod and Todd: A moth! A moth! A moth! Aaaahh!
  • Lisa: Calm down! A moth's no more harmful than a ladybug.
  • Marge: How cute. It looks as though a Cadillac drove right into the building.
  • Krusty: (upon learning his sandwich-delivery was a prank call by Bart) Well, I'm not leaving until I get paid. I also get $300 for just saying "Hey, hey!"
  • US Air Force officer: We just got a report that a "Lisa Simpson" spotted a UFO.
  • Officer: That's right. You didn't. (waves to a doctor who puts away a hypodermic needle)
  • Krusty: What kind of parents would leave their kids home with that babysitter?
  • Homer: (in panic mode) NOT US!
  • (2 men enter the outhouse.)
  • "What do you do, what do you do?" is a reference to Speed (film).
  • The Homer v. Tatum bout is a reference to the film Rocky. Where a local champion faces the heavyweight champion.
  • The montage of Homer's victories mid-episode spoofs Raging Bull. Some controversy has arisen about what song is exactly played during Homer's montage. DVD commentary of the episode has attributed the song to an original Alf Clausen composition. Some people alternatively have stated that it is "The Flower Duet" from Delibes' opera Lakme. However, their is no passage in "The Flower Duet" song that convincingly matches up with the boxing montage scene but it can be said that the song is done in the style and semblance of "The Flower Duet."
  • Homer's theme song is "Why Can't We Be Friends?" by War. He also comes in wearing a robe labeled "Opponent"
  • Happy Days – Roy addressing Homer and Marge as "Mr. S" and "Mrs. S" is a reference to how Fonzie and the teen-aged characters addressed Howard and Marion Cunningham on Happy Days. Poochie also claims to be "a third Fonzarelli".
  • Joe Camel – another character Poochie claims to be based on.
  • The "Wayne's World" sketches and movie – Poochie shouts "NOT!", much like Wayne Campbell.
  • Three's Company – Roy's announcement that he's "moving out to live with two sexy ladies" is a reference to the ABC sitcom.
  • Unnecessary addition of new characters to veteran TV shows – The addition of the Poochie character to The Itchy & Scratchy Show (and the unexplained presence of Roy in the subplot) spoofs the addition of new characters to veteran TV shows in their waning years, with the belief that viewer interest will be renewed. However, the result is often negative, and is often cited by fans as a moment when the show has jumped the shark.
  • The scene where Homer hides in a closet and secretly listens to a conversation in the conference room is a reference to a 1991 incident at NBC when Jay Leno hid in a storage closet secretly listening to NBC executives discuss who would take over The Tonight Show when Johnny Carson retires.
  • Wrestler Bret "The Hitman" Hart appears as himself, moving into Burns' house and addressing him as a "pencil-neck geek," an insult used by pro-wrestler and manager "Classie Freddie" Blassie. His new neighbour, The Shrieking Sheikh, is a parody of The Iron Sheik.
  • Burns buys Count Chocula cereal at the Kwik-E-Mart.
  • Skinner can be seen talking to Huggy Bear of Starsky & Hutch fame.
  • The plot element of the conjoined twins from "The Thing and I" is from the film Basket Case. The attic scene is a nod to The Exorcist. The title is also a play on the movie The King and I.

  • According to the DVD audio commentary, Dangerfield was very helpful in the writing process of this episode.
  • When Homer hallucinates, Ms. Krabappel sounds like the teacher from Peanuts.
  • During the St Patrick's Day parade scene, the Irish Republican Army guerrilla fighter is portrayed with "John Bull's Fish and Chip Shop" exploding due to a planted bomb. This part of the scene is usually cut out on UK television, but is left unedited in Ireland.
  • This was an extremely controversial episode. FOX was flooded with angry letters, but every station still aired the episode as scheduled. It was later praised by several gay communities of America, because Homer learns his lesson in the end.
  • Also, this episode was an 1997 Emmy Award-winner for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming One Hour or Less).
  • The winged eyeball seen behind the John character in the shop is a tribute to the art of troubled musician Daniel Johnston. Matt Groening is a big fan and even talks about wanting to have Johnston on his show in one of the DVD extras to The Devil and Daniel Johnston.
  • Running out of the basement, Bart yells "Force majeure" - a legal term which allows at least one party to be freed of responsibility due to events out of their control.
  • In the closing scene where the Simpsons are being driven away in John's car, the background of stars moves relative to the movement of the car. It should stay still as a backdrop, of course.
  • (John takes the family on a tour of the sordid side of celebrity Springfield)
  • A scene and song were cut from the episode, where Patty and Selma sing "I Love to Smoke" to the tune of "I Love to Laugh" from Mary Poppins. In fact, one line from the song, "Although we'll croak by the year 2003", refers to how the writers didn't expect the show to still be on by then.

The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show

  • The voice of Itchy and Scratchy are actually voiced by Harry Shearer (Scratchy) and Dan Castellaneta (Itchy).
  • This episode, the 167th, was the episode that made The Simpsons longer-running than The Flintstones. As a result of this, when Sky One broadcast the episode, it replaced the existing couch gag (a Sergeant Pepper parody, first used in "Bart After Dark") with one in which the Simpson family encounter the Flintstone family sitting on the couch (recycled from Season 4's "Kamp Krusty"). This version of the episode was also broadcast by Channel 4 in 2006.
  • The writer who speaks out and gets fired is the caricature of Simpsons writer George Meyer.
  • This is the second episode to feature a crossover with an airing television series, the first being "A Star is Burns" which featured a crossover with The Critic.
  • The violinists on the "Springfield Philharmonic" bus are all left-handed, except for the bass.
  • This episode appeared in the second season of Digimon: Digital Monsters in the episode "A Very Digi-Christmas". It appeared On Tai and Kari Kamiya's television.
  • This episode aired two years prior to the Denver Broncos first of two consecutive Super Bowl victories.

  • Marge listens to the song "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks played on the frying pan radio.
  • "You Only Move Twice" is the 2nd episode from the eighth season of The Simpsons.
  • Hank Scorpio, the head of Globex Corporation and a James Bond-esque international supervillain, is on the prowl for the top nuclear technician in Springfield. After Smithers rejects his offer, his cronies move on to the person with the second longest tenure at the plant: Homer. After they win him over with a slick promotional video, the Simpsons pack their belongings and get ready to move to Scorpio's company town of Cypress Creek. After the family has difficulty selling their house, they abandon it and settle into a utopian neighborhood; however, things are not as they seem. Homer is happy with their new life; despite his destructive schemes, Hank is a dream boss, and Homer finally finds a job that he is good at: bossing other people around. However, the other family members endure various hardships: Bart is initially popular at his new school (he even meets a Milhouse-type), but when his teachers learn he doesn't know cursive or the multiplication table, they tuck him away in the special education class, which is filled entirely with Ralph Wiggum-like students; Lisa falls in love with the local flora and fauna, only to find that she's allergic to most of it; and a house that cleans itself leaves Marge with too much time to drink the company's complimentary wine. When they get sick and tired of dealing with all this they plead with Homer to take them back to Springfield, and after much soul-searching he gives in. It's just as well, as the government raids Scorpio's compound. When they arrive back in Springfield, they learn that Scorpio has taken over the East Coast, Otto and his girlfriend have been squatting in their house, and the Denver Broncos (a farewell gift from Scorpio) are on their front lawn.
  • ==Allusion to Silicon Valley (and beyond)==
  • Hank Scorpio bears a striking physical resemblance to Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle Corporation. Both men are exuberant, hyperenergetic, bearded Type A personalities with a love of sports and adventure. More supporting evidence:
  • Cypress Creek looks very similar to Redwood Shores, CA, the planned community where Oracle's headquarters is located
  • The writers' original name for Cypress Creek was "Emerald Caverns," but the former was chosen because it sounded more like the name of a town in Silicon Valley.
  • The original town name of "Emerald Caverns" was probably a reference to Oracle's campus, which is nicknamed "The Emerald City" or "Oz" due to the shiny green glass that completely covers all of the buildings.
  • The building Scorpio and Homer work in is round, just like Oracle's headquarters
  • Scorpio also has been noted to resemble (physically and in behavior) former Philadelphia 76ers President and television personality/self help author Pat Croce, as well as Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Records and other Virgin Brands and Danny Bonaduce.
  • The episode features many references to Ian Fleming's James Bond and EON Productions' subsequent series of films. They include:
    • Hank Scorpio is a parody of a typical James Bondian villain, specifically Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Perhaps unintentionally, his name is also similar to that of Vladimir Scorpius, the villain from the James Bond novel Scorpius by John Gardner.
    • The episode title is a parody of You Only Live Twice.
    • Additionally, Scorpio's doomsday gun room and the battle with soldiers also greatly resembles Blofeld's volcano base and climatic battle in You Only Live Twice.
    • The episode ends with a theme song sung in the style as the themes to Goldfinger and Thunderball. The song describes Scorpio's "plot to rule the world" as one of his obsessions.
    • A British secret agent, "Mr. Bont", is tackled by Homer as he tries to escape. Earlier he is strapped to a table with a laser pointed at him, referencing a famous scene in Goldfinger. Bont asks Scorpio if he expects him to talk, to which Scorpio replies, "I don't expect anything from you except to die and have a very cheap funeral." As Hank congratulates Homer for tackling Bont ("When you get home tonight, there'll be another story on your house"), in the background guards can be seen surrounding Bont and shooting him with their submachineguns. This is the second time Homer has ensured the death of a secret agent. The first was a deleted scene in $pringfield, when Homer's terrible blackjack dealing skills led to James Bond-ironically under the same thin disguise of "Bont"- losing and Ernst Stavro Blofeld dragging him away. The scene was used in the third segment of "The Simpsons' 138th Episode Spectacular", which was devoted to deleted scenes.
    • A soldier is strangled by a woman using only her thighs, à la Xenia Onatopp from GoldenEye. The solider is actually General Norman Schwarzkopf, according to the DVDs episode commentary track.

The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show

  • You must add a |reason= parameter to this Cleanup template – replace it with {{Cleanup|October 2006|reason=<Fill reason here>}}, or remove the Cleanup template.
  • Lisa: Um, excuse me sir, the thing is, there's nothing wrong with Itchy and Scratchy. It's as good as ever. But after so many years, the characters don't have the same impact they once had.
  • Meyers: That's it. That's it, little girl! You've saved Itchy & Scratchy!
  • Blue-Haired Lawyer: Please sign these papers indicating that you did not save Itchy & Scratchy.
  • Man at survey: How many of you kids would like Itchy & Scratchy to deal with real-life problems, like the ones you face every day? (kids go "Me!" "I would!") And who would like to see them do just the opposite -- getting into far-out situations involving robots and magic powers? (kids go "Me!" "I would!") So, you want a realistic, down-to-earth show...that's completely off-the-wall...and swarming with magic robots? (kids agree)
  • Milhouse: And also, you should win things by watching.
  • The light behind the two-way mirror switches on, revealing Roger Meyers, Jr.
  • Meyers, Jr.: You kids don't know what you want! That's why you're still kids! 'Cause you're stupid! Just tell me what's wrong with the freakin' show!!
  • Roger Meyers Jr. (to the "Itchy and Scratchy" writers): I have figured out how to rejuvenate the show. It's so simple, you egghead writers would've never thought of it! What we need is... a new character! One that today's kids can relate to!
  • Oakley: Are you absolutely sure that's wise, sir? I mean, I don't want to sound pretentious here, but Itchy and Scratchy comprise a dramaturgical dyad.
  • Krusty: Hey, this ain't art -- it's business! Whaddya got in mind? Sexy broad? Gangster octopus?
  • Meyers: No, no. The animal chain of command goes mouse, cat, dog. D-O-G.
  • Weinstein: Uh, a dog? Isn't that a tad predictable?
  • Lady (prototype Lindsay Naegle): In your dreams. We're talking the original dog from hell.
  • Oakley: You mean Cerberus?
  • Lady: We at the network want a dog with attitude. He's edgy, he's "in your face." You've heard the expression "let's get busy"? Well, this is a dog who gets "biz-zay!" Consistently and thoroughly.
  • Krusty: So he's proactive, huh?
  • Lady: Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageous paradigm.
  • Meyer: Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that. I'm fired, aren't I?
  • Meyers: Oh, yes. Now, the rest of you start writers thinking up a name for this funky dog; I dunno, something along the line of say... Poochie, only more proactive.
  • Krusty: Yeah!
  • Oakley: So, Poochie okay with everybody?
  • All: Yeah...sure. It's cool.
  • Ned (after "The Beagle Has Landed"): Homer, I can honestly say that was the best episode of "Impy and Chimpy" I've ever seen!
  • Carl: Yeah, you should be very proud, Homer, you, uh... got a beautiful home here.
  • Comic Book Guy: Last night's "Itchy and Scratchy" was, without a doubt, the worst episode ever! Rest assured I was on the internet within minutes voicing my disgust throughout the world.
  • Homer: Now, kids, I know you liked the old Poochie. (Bart and Lisa look at each other) But I promise the new one will be better than ten Super Bowls! I don't want you to over-think it. Judge for yourself.
  • (in the cartoon, Itchy is using a rusty chainsaw to cut up Scratchy, who is encased in ice. Poochie appears)
  • Scratchy: Look who it is!
  • Itchy: Hello, Poochie. You look like you have something to say. Do you?
  • Poochie (in Homer's voice): Yes, I certainly do! (in Roger Meyers Jr.'s voice) I have to go now. My planet needs me.
  • (the animation cel is lifted up, creating the illusion of Poochie moving up in to the sky. A handwritten note appears saying "Poochie died on the way back to his home planet")
  • Bart: Wow. Poochie came from another planet?
  • Lisa: I guess.
  • Homer: Hey, that wasn't supposed to happen! They ripped me off!
  • Krusty: Poochie's dead! (laughs as the studio audience goes wild) Well kids, we all know that sometimes when cartoon characters die, they're back again the very next week. That's why I'm presenting this sworn affidavit that Poochie will never, ever, ever return!
  • Lawyer: This document conforms to all applicable laws and statutes. (kids cheer)
  • Homer: You guys liked it, right?
  • Bart: Mom, can we go to bed without dinner?
  • Marge: Yes, we can.
  • (Marge, Bart, and Lisa run upstairs and slam their doors)

  • I'm a rappin' surfer, you da fool I pity!
  • Scratchy (blankly): Wow, Poochie is one outrageous dude.
  • Itchy (blankly): He's totally in my face.
  • Poochie: Catch you on the flipside, dudemeisters. Not! And remember, kids, always recycle, to the extreme! Busted!
  • Bart: It's back to the basics, classic Itchy & Scratchy.
  • Lisa: We should thank our lucky stars that they're still putting on a program of this caliber after so many years.
  • Bart: ... What else is on?
  • (Lisa changes the channel)
  • Milhouse: Hey, quit it!
  • Meyers: They like Itchy, they like Scratchy, one kid seems to love the Speedo man... what more do they want?
  • Mr. Burns: I don't understand. Pigs need food, engines need coolant, dynamiters need dynamite. I'm supplying it to the world at a tidy profit...and not a single sea creature was wasted. (very creepy) You inspired it all...Li'l Lisa.
  • Skinner: (After receiving the recycling money) 32 cents! But that won't even cover the gas that I used to go to the store to buy the twine to tie up the bags!
  • Big Daddy: Oh no, the Chief! It's times like these I wish I weren't so fat.

  • Moe: Oh God. Who would've thought a whale would be this heavy? (sees Mulder looking at them) Cheese it! The Feds! (they run off as the whale groans)
  • Homer: Hey, pretzels!
  • Marge: I should've said, "Limit: 1 Per Customer."
  • (After being told to go inside while the mobsters and Yakuza fighting each other)
  • (During the fake ticker-tape parade)

Treehouse of Horror VII

  • ===The Thing and I===
  • Dr. Hibbert: Yes, I remember Bart's birth well. You never forget anything like (dramatic tone of voice) Siamese twins!
  • Lisa: I believe they preferred to be called "conjoined twins."
  • Dr. Hibbert: And hillbillies preferred to be called "sons of the soil," but it ain't gonna happen!
  • Homer: We'll search out any place a sick solitary misfit might run to!
  • Lisa: I'll start with RadioShack!
  • Homer: Right!
  • Dr. Hibbert (confronting Hugo): You know, Hugo, all these years you've spent here in the attic, why, you've probably never seen yourself in the mirror.
  • (Hibbert holds up a mirror and Hugo looks into it. There is nothing but a frame; Hibbert then punches Hugo in the face)
  • (Bart is tied down)
  • Bart: Aaaaaaaaaaagh, you're crazy
  • Hugo: Maybe, perhaps we all are a little crazy; I know I am. I went mad when they tore us apart. But, I'll be sane again... once I sew us back together.
  • Bart: But you'll kill both of us!
  • Hugo: No it's easy! Look! I've been practicing. I made a pigeon-rat. (shows Bart the pigeon-rat, which tries to fly out the window, but hits the glass, then tries to enter a hole, but fails because of its size). Now, which side do you want to be on? The right or the left?
  • Homer (running up to the attic) We think we saw Hugo at the airport, he was boarding a plane to Switzerland and... (sees Hugo on the floor) ... oh.
  • Dr. Hibbert (Upon seeing Hugo's scar on the left side of his body)
  • What a minute! Hugo's scar is on the wrong side. He couldn't have been the evil left twin. That means the evil twin is, and always has been, Bart!
  • Bart (after everyone finds he's the evil one): Oh, don't look so shocked.
  • (Family is gathering at dinner table, where Dr. Hibbert is cutting some turkey)
  • Dr. Hibbert: Heh, Heh. Care for a drumstick Hugo? (Hugo then engords the drumstick as well as his own napkin)
  • Lisa: Mom, Hugo's eating his napkin. (Everyone at the table then laughs)
  • Bart: (peeping in from the attic air duct) Hey can I have some turkey
  • Marge: Ooh!!! You finish your fisheads, then we'll talk (Marge then closes the vent)
  • ===The Genesis Tub===
  • Bart: (walking into Lisa's room with a balloon in his hair) Hey, Lisa! Check out my science project.
  • Lisa: (getting zapped by Bart) Ow! What's that supposed to prove?
  • Bart: That nerds conduct electricity. (zaps Lisa again and runs out of her room laughing)
  • Lisa: (looking at her tooth) Tiny little people?! Oh my God! I've created life!
  • Marge: Lisa, breakfast! We're having waffles!
  • Lisa: Ooh, waffles! (goes downstairs) Wait, these aren't waffles! They're just square pancakes!
  • Marge: Sorry. The waffle iron's still in the shop.
  • Lisa (returns to her room): Stupid waffle iron. It's been in the shop forever. (looks into microscope) So, how are my little stone age dwellers? Oh my God! They're evolving so fast, they've already reached the Renaissance. Wait, one of them is nailing something to the door of the cathedral. I've created Lutherans!
  • Mayor-type figure: Welcome to our world, most gracious Lisa.
  • Lisa: Your world is incredible! And you speak English?
  • Mayor: We have listened to you since the dawn of time, Oh Creator, (the mayor bows a little) and we have learned to imatoot you exartly. (The audience in front of Lisa's throne bow in homage, revealing a large statue.)
  • Lisa: You think I'm God?
  • Mayor: But of course! You look down at us from Heaven, you gave us life, and only your divine wisdom can save us from the Devil.
  • Lisa: The devil? What devil?
  • Mayor: (whispering) The one you call Bart.
  • (Upon hearing the name of the unholy one, the people cover their ears and moan)
  • Lisa: Oh no, no, no, you don't understand. Bart's just my brother.
  • Mayor: (shocked) The Devil is your brother? We find this most perplexing!
  • Lisa: Oh, great. I'm stuck in this lousy tub for the rest of my life. Shouldn't you people be grovelling? (the people do) And bring me some shoes. Nice ones.
  • Man: She'll want some socks, too. I'll get socks.
  • ===Citizen Kang===
  • Marge: I still don't understand why we have to build a ray gun to aim at a planet I've never even heard of.
  • Homer: Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos. (he is whipped by an alien)
  • President Clinton (getting abducted): Huh? What's happening? Is it noon already?
  • Kodos: (as President Clinton) Ladies and gentlemen, when I was a young boy I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say we must move forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom! (coincidentally, Tony Blair, a fan of the Simpsons, who appeared in a later Simpsons' episode, made his 2005 election campaign slogan 'Forwards not backwards')
  • Homer: Oh, no. Aliens, bio-duplication, nude conspiracies. Oh, my God. Lyndon LaRouche was right!
  • Kodos/Clinton: What? Are you still here?
  • Kang/Dole: I'm afraid we must dispose of you!
  • (he presses a button; a large device emerges which sprays Homer with fluid)
  • Homer: What are you spraying me with?
  • Kang/Dole: Rum! So no one will believe your story!
  • (Kodos kicks Homer out of their flying saucer)

  • Marge makes Bart her specialty "butterscotch chicken", but in "Blood Feud" Marge says that Bart's allergies are "butterscotch and imitation butterscotch."
  • Bart After Dark is the one hundredth and fifty-eighth episode of The Simpsons.
  • Bart discovers that the house is actually a burlesque house and quickly takes a new enthusiasm to his job. Meanwhile, Marge and Lisa discover that all the animal cleaning has been taken by celebrities and drive home.

Soon, the Flanderses and Lovejoys confront him on the matter in front of Marge, who was previously unaware of Bart's form of employment.
  • This episode contains one of the hints that Patty is a lesbian as she is seen exiting the house during the slide show, a fact that is confirmed in future episodes.
  • Bart learns that Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel have lost their jobs. Bart encourages Principal Skinner to stand up for himself, and he does just that. He locks down the school, calls the media and – after sitting on the roof – he and Mrs. Krabappel make their demands: They want their jobs back and the townspeople to not interfere in their relationship. However, several residents reply with their accusation about the two having sexual intercourse in the janitor's closet. Principal Skinner insists nothing of the sort happened, and that he, in fact, is still a virgin. Everyone accepts the explanation, and Chalmers agrees to reinstate Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel as though nothing happened. Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel decide to continue their relationship more privately than ever by convincing Bart that they have broken up.
  • In music class, Lisa is caught looking outside the window at Nelson attempting to help Groundskeeper Willie, and is given detention. After school, she continues to watch Nelson ... and develops a huge crush on the bully.
  • Homer ends up annoying most of Springfield with his "Happy Dude" scam, and it isn't long before Chief Wiggum catches him. Instead of confiscating the autodialer and taking Homer into custody, Wiggum gives him a citation and asks him to bring the autodialer with him to his court hearing. Homer does just that, and is ordered to apologize to everyone he had scammed. Using the autodialer, he apologizes ... and then asks for more money!
  • The characters Burns hullucinates seeing are Mao Tse Tung, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi.
  • On its way down the hill, the propane-driven house kills a squirrel.
  • Lisa decides to earn extra money as a babysitter. However, because of her age, no one takes her seriously. One day, Ned states that Maude has been taken hostage in the Holy Land and he must leave to get her released. Lisa offers to baby-sit. After a relatively uneventful night, Ned puts out the good word for Lisa, who experiences a business boom.
  • Lisa calling 911 trying to get an ambulance fails, after Bart attempted to make several prank calls earlier that night. Then she tries to call Dr. Hibbert but has a day-dream about what would happen. She then tries to take an unconscious Bart (and a hyperactive Maggie) to Dr. Nick Riviera's clinic but fails to get an appointment. She then takes Bart and Maggie on foot to the hospital. Along the way, Chief Wiggum halts Lisa to see what kind of wheelbarrow she has (what she was carrying Bart and Maggie in). After complimenting Lisa on her excellent choice of barrow Bart falls into the river right in front of the crowded Squid Port. Everyone assumes that Lisa murdered Bart and that she is on drugs, and is about to drown Maggie. Homer and Marge are shocked at these events. The next day, Bart gets treatment, confesses it was his fault and apologizes to Lisa. She is distraught that her reputation as a babysitter is ruined; however, despite the rumors, she still gets a few requests from other families, because she's one of the only babysitters in town.

  • Bart and Lisa think that there is something in the attic. Homer claims not to know what they are talking about, although he feeds the thing fish heads. Bart and Lisa investigate in the attic to find out that there really is a monster. Homer and Marge call Dr. Hibbert about the thing, which appears to be Bart's conjoined twin brother, Hugo (voiced by Nancy Cartwright as well).. Dr. Hibbert says that Hugo and Bart's birth as conjoined twins was an irregularity because one of them was pure evil (the one on the left side, since he continuously bit the one on the right side), and he had to separate them, choosing to take Bart home and let Hugo be chained up in the attic. Bart even sees the scar from the birth. The rest of the family leaves Bart at home, while they look for Hugo. Meanwhile, Hugo is actually home and takes Bart up to the attic and ties him up to a bed. Hugo decides he's going to sew himself and Bart up. When they come home, Dr. Hibbert realizes that Hugo's scar is on the wrong side, meaning that the evil twin is actually Bart, who is locked up in the attic in Hugo's stead and made to eat fish heads, while the rest of the family eats turkey.
  • First Halloween episode to be the season premier.
