"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge" is the twenty-first episode of the eleventh season of The Simpsons. It aired on May 14, 2000. It is a parody of the film The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, although the title is a parody of the film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Synopsis

Each child in Bart’s class is loaned a video camera for a school project to create a movie. Otto drives the school bus to the drive through where his girlfriend, Becky, works. While hoisting a boombox, he blasts Every Rose Has Its Thorn and proposes. She accepts. On Bart’s suggestion, they decide to have the wedding at the Simpson house and sends out flyers. Marge reluctantly agrees. The wedding is a success up until the point when Otto gets a Poison band tribute band to play Nothing but a Good Time. Becky admits to Marge that she hates heavy metal music. At the wedding, Marge suggests to Becky that she gives Otto an ultimatum: it's either her or heavy metal. The wedding is called off as Otto drives off in the school bus with the band.

Becky stays with the Simpson family. Marge consoles her, but begins to worry that her family likes Becky more than her. Eventually, she becomes paranoid that Becky is trying to kill her. Becky and the rest of the family meet without Marge at an ice cream parlour. Marge crashes the party and goes berserk, smashing anything in her grasp. She is arrested and declared insane. She escapes from the courtroom and becomes a notorious fugitive and butt of jokes. Finally, she returns home, only to find Homer tied up in what looks like an S & M tableau. It turns out that Bart is filming a scene in his movie, but Becky admits she was going to kill Marge and steal her family. The doctors show up and shoot a dart into Marge's neck, which doesn't take effect. Homer finally shoots a dart into her to make her fall asleep.
