Watching “The Simpsons” on Channel TEN. The Episode is called “The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular“!
PLOT:
Troy McClure hosts this episode, which highlights individual scenes and sequences from throughout the show and offers never-before-seen outtakes. McClure starts the episode by showing a brief presentation of how The Simpsons series was conceived by Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Sam Simon. He goes on to present some clips of the original shorts that aired on the The Tracey Ullman Show, including the first one, “Good Night“, in its entirety.[1] Next, a presumed commercial break is introduced with a trivia question about the message that appears when Maggie Simpson is scanned by the cash register during the show’s opening sequence; the answer is revealed to be “NRA4EVER.” The show then returns to McClure, who responds questions from fan mail by showing clips that contain the answers. The letters includes questions on Homer’s growing stupidity, how the cast and crew can create an episode per week, and hints of Waylon Smithers‘ homosexuality.
Another commercial break is then introduced with a trivia question, this time concerning which two characters have died within the past year; the answer is revealed to be Bleeding Gums Murphy and Dr. Marvin Monroe. McClure then presents deleted scenes from various Simpsons episodes, starting with “Krusty Gets Kancelled“, in which Krusty the Clown offers a sexually explicit book of himself and tries to get a part in a hemorrhoid infomercial after the producers tell Krusty his show has been canceled. Deleted scenes are shown from other episodes, including “$pringfield“, in which Homer plays blackjack with James Bond; “Mother Simpson“, in which Homer talks to his mother about his adventure in space while eating space food sticks; “Treehouse of Horror IV“, in which Homer’s head is used as a bowling ball in Hell, and Bart Simpson tries to sell his soul for a Formula One racecar; “Homer and Apu“, in which Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and the Simpsons watch a Bollywood film; and “Burns’ Heir“, in which Mr. Burns scares Homer away with a robotic Richard Simmons.
McClure also reveals that alternate endings to part two of “Who Shot Mr. Burns?” were created to prevent the staff on The Simpsons from spoiling the mystery that “all of America was trying to solve […] this past summer”. These alternate endings, most of which consist of random characters shooting Mr. Burns, conclude with a more elaborate ending in which Smithers is revealed to be the assailant. As such, in this ending, Homer is free to go and Smithers gets a 5% pay cut for trying to kill Burns. Troy McClure ends the episode by showing a montage of “hardcore nudity” (scenes of The Simpsons characters naked), set to the K.C. and the Sunshine Band song “Shake Your Booty“.Couch Gag: A montage of a select few previously aired couch gags, culminating into the showbiz extravaganza couch gag from “Lisa’s First Word“.
Chalkboard: “I will only do this once a year”.
Smithers dreams about Mr. Burns in “Marge Gets a Job.” The censors had issues with the “lump in his bed,” which was his knee.:bananen_smilies046:
