Amen, brother.
And don't you think that the Almighty has better things to worry about than where one little guy spends one measly hour of his week?
Tell it, daddy!
And what if we picked the wrong religion? Every week we're just making God madder and madder.
Lord, my husband is by no means perfect, but he's a kind, decent man. Please show him the error of his ways.
Marge, come to bed.
No, Homer. He doesn't mean to be sacrilegious, Lord. He just likes to sleep in on Sundays...
Maarge... come to bed Marge...
No, Homer. He doesn't mean to be sacrilegious, Lord. He just likes to sleep in on Sundays...
It's good for what ails ya...
No, Homer. He doesn't mean to be sacrilegious, Lord. He just likes to sleep in on Sundays...
I can wait all --
No, Homer. He doesn't mean to be sacrilegious, Lord. He just likes to sleep in on Sundays...
God?
THOU HAST FORSAKEN MY CHURCH!
Well... kind of... but...
BUT WHAT?
And YOU remember... Matthew... 21:17.
BUT WHAT?
I'm not a bad guy. I work hard and I love my kids. So why should I spend half my Sunday hearing about how I'm going to hell?
You know, sometimes even I'd rather be watching football. Does St. Louis still have a team?
No. They moved to Phoenix.
Oh yeah.
You know what I really hate about church? Those boring sermons.
I couldn't agree more. That Reverend Lovejoy really displeases me. I think I'll give him a canker sore.
Give him one for me.
I will.
So I figure I should just try to live right, and worship you in my own way.
Dad, can I ask you a question?
Sure, honey.
Why are you dedicating your life to blasphemy?
Don't worry, Sweetheart. If I'm wrong, I'll recant on my deathbed.
Why are you dedicating your life to blasphemy?
Hello, my animal friends. Peace be with you.
Why are you dedicating your life to blasphemy?
Guys, please, could you give me five minutes?
No, it's nothing bad. I'm just concerned, because my husband hasn't been attending your services lately.
Well, I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing. But then God Himself told me I should seek a new path.
Oh, really?
Yeah, he appeared before me in a dream, and I knew that was special 'cause I usually dream about naked... Marge.
So, Homer, you saw the Big Cheese? What'd he look like?
Perfect teeth - nice smell - a class act all the way.
"And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany, and he lodged there"?
Yeah... think about it.
Pretty slick.
Well, you should join my religion, Moe. It's great. No Hell... no kneeling....
Neighbor, I heard about your heresy and we've made it our mission to win you back to the flock.
No sale.
GET THOSE ANIMALS OUT ON THE ARKY, ARKY -
Leave me alone!
I see him, son.
Where are we going?
I have a responsibility to raise these children right and unless you change, I'll have to tell them their father is... well, wicked.
Kids, let me tell you about another so-called wicked guy. He had long hair and some "wild" ideas and he didn't always do what other people thought was right. And that man's name was... I forget. But the point is... uh, I forget that too. Marge, you know who I'm talking about -- he used to drive that blue car --
Homer, please. Don't make me choose between my man and my God, because you just can't win.
There you go again. Always taking someone else's side. Flanders... the water department... God...
Coming up next, "Make Your Own Ladder."
Very sure.
Hello. I'm collecting for the Brotherhood of Jewish Clowns. Last year, tornadoes claimed the lives of seventy-five Jewish clowns. The worst incident was during our convention in Lubbock, Texas. There were floppy shoes and rainbow wigs everywhere... it was terrible...
Wait a minute, is this a religious thing?
A religious clown thing, yes.
Sorry.
Oh, but I am. I have a shrine to Ganesha, the god of worldly wisdom, located in the employee lounge.
Hey Ganesha, want a peanut?
Please do not offer my god a peanut.
No offense Apu, but when they were handing out religions, you must have been out takin' a whiz.
O-kay.
Flanders, you saved me. Why?
Help! Help!
That's right, old friend.
Oh, Homey! Are you all right?
My Magazines and roach traps... gone, all gone.
Truly this was an act of God.
Hey, wait a minute... Flanders is a regular Charlie Church and God didn't save his house!
Any valuables in the house?
Well, the Picasso... my collection of classic cars...
Sorry, this policy only covers actual losses, not made-up stuff.
Well, that's just great.
Coming up next... Which works better - springy clothes pins, or the other kind?
You know, I have a feeling there's a lesson here.
Yes, the lesson is...
No, don't tell me, I'll get it... Oh, I know! The Lord is vengeful! O Spiteful One! Show me who to smite, and they shall be smoten!
Ah, that's super.
I was rude to every one of you... and you saved my life, when you could have just left me to fry, like the proverbial pancake that I am.
Now, would you give church another try?
I'll be there next Sunday. Front row, center!
That's game, Hendrix!
God, I gotta ask you somethin'. What's the meaning of life?
Homer, I can't tell you that.
C'mon.
You'll find out when you die.
I can't wait that long.
You can't wait six months?
No, tell me now!
I'd say... 53 years old and 420 pounds.
Ha, ha, you lose! 36 and 239!
A ride on the famous Duff Beer Blimp!
A ride on the Duff Blimp...
You see the circular pattern on those fields? That's from central-pivot irrigation.
Wow.
Oops! Sorry.
Ho-mer, Ho-mer, Ho-mer..
We have one at home. You never use it.
Well, I want that one.
And the winner of the blimp ride is... Homer Simpson!
Oh my God!
Dad, do you think I'm ugly?
What are you talking about?
Dad, do you think I'm ugly?
Heh heh heh... Oh, Lisa, this isn't real. It's just how you might look if you were a cartoon character.
I'm an ugmo.
Now that's not true! You're cute as a bug's ear.
Fathers have to say that stuff.
Dad, am I cute as a bug's ear?
No! You're homely as a mule's butt!
There, see?
Mmmm... no.
How about you, Barney?
Not for a second .
I need help.
What a feeling! I'm as happy as a smoker taking that first puff in the morning.
That could be Lisa!
The Little Miss Springfield Pageant. Only 250 dollars to enter.
Hey, Barney, will you give me 250 bucks for this blimp ticket?
Sure!
Where'd you get all the money?
No! No! I meant you were one of the good-looking ducks... that makes fun of the ugly one.
Lisa, if you could have one wish, what would it be?
To shut myself off from the world and never be seen by human eyes again.
Uh, was your second wish to be entered in the Little Miss Springfield Pageant?
What are you talking about?
I sent in an application for you. I couldn't find a big enough photo, so I sent in that funny drawing of you on roller skates.
Homer, Lisa's already sensitive about her looks. This is the last thing she needs.
But I think she'll win.
Dad, have you seen the girls they have in those contests? Hubba, hubba.
Hey, nobody's prettier than my little girl.
You're looking at her through a father's eyes.
Well, if I could gouge out somebody else's eyes and shove them into my sockets, I would. But to me, she's beautiful.
But that ride meant everything to him!
Hey there blimpy boy Flying through the sky so fancy free --
I know two fellas who are gonna get a special dinner tonight.
Hey... hey!
Whooo! Whooo! Dad, do you know anything else about women?
Nope, that's it.
My name is Lisa Simpson, and I want to be Little Miss Springfield so I can make our town a better place!
Yeah! Clean up this stink hole!
Ooh, that just kept goin' huh? And now here's... ... Lisa Simpson!
They'll love you just as much as I do.
Thanks, Dad.
Hmmm.
But you're a role model to young people. And we're thinking of retiring "Menthol Moose".
Bless you boys.
Homer, those are ice cream men.
I know.
Dad, do you remember why you entered me in that pageant?
I don't know. Was I drunk?
Possibly. But the point is, you wanted me to feel better about myself. And I do.
Really?
Uh-huh.
Will you remember this the next
Uh-huh.
time I wreck your life?
Hey Homer - where's your present?
Oh yeah? With what?
Hey Homer - where's your present?
I mean don't worry, son. I forgot to get you a present. But I swear on my father's grave...
Hey!
I will get you one now!
We sell forbidden objects from places men fear to tread. We also sell frozen yogurt... which I call frogurt!
Well, I need something for my son's birthday.
Take this object. But beware, it carries a terrible curse.
Ooh, that's bad.
But it comes with a free frogurt.
That's good.
The frogurt is also cursed.
That's bad.
But you get your choice of topping.
That's good.
That's bad.
Can I go now?
...And in environmental news, scientist have announced that Springfield's air is now only dangerous to children and the elderly.
Woo hoo!
I'm Krusty the Clown and I'm going to kill you!
Didn't even pull the string that time.
Homer, what's wrong?
That doll tried to kill me!
I'd say that the pressure's finally gotten to Dad, but what pressure?
Don't leave me alone with him.
I'd say that the pressure's finally gotten to Dad, but what pressure?
MY BALONEY HAS A FIRST NAME / IS H-O-M-E-R / MY BALONEY HAS A SECOND NAME / IT'S H-O-M-E-R.
Guess who, Fat Boy?
Marge, Marge, look!
Oh my God.
The doll's trying to kill me and the toaster's been laughing at me!
Oh my God.
Ew. Dog water.
I love you, Homer.
Come here you.
Here ya' go buddy.
Did you walk the dog?
