'''''Maggie Simpson in: The Longest Daycare''''' is an animated 3D short film starring [[Maggie Simpson]]. The short aired on July 13, [[2012]] onwards in the USA (though it was seen in some countries since June 25) before ''{{w|Ice Age: Continental Drift}}'' in theaters in [[USA]]. A 2D animatic version was screened at {{w|San Diego Comic-Con International}} on July 14, 2012.<ref name="insidetv"/><ref>[http://comiccon2012.blogs.fox.com/2012/06/22/the-simpsons-at-comic-con/ THE SIMPSONS at Comic-Con]</ref>

== Summary ==
Maggie returns to the [[Ayn Rand School for Tots]], where she endures tests and ends up in a "Nothing Special" room. Maggie's arch-nemesis, [[Gerald Samson]] is there, who tries to smash a cocoon that Maggie is trying to save.

== Plot ==
[[File:Longest Daycare save pupa.png|225px|thumb|left|[[Maggie]] holding a plant pot with a cacoon on the plant while being hunted by [[Gerald Samson|Gerald]].]]
[[Marge]], unaware of Maggie's doings at the last visit to [[Ayn Rand School for Tots]], brings her there. Marge places her at the entrance to a security room, and Maggie watches her mother walk off. Maggie then begins the tests. She gives up her pacifier, bottle and keys before going through a security gate, and a lice detector, which Maggie passes, but [[Baby Gerald]], who is also there, doesn't. [[Ms. Sinclair]], after the tests, places Maggie in room with "Nothing Special" children, despite Maggie liking the look of the "Gifted Children" room. Looking for something to do, Maggie goes to a table with paint pots, where some children are painting, but before she can pick up paint pots she wants to paint with, all of the paint pots are taken by the kids, but leaves two paint pots which Maggie picks up - Grey and Bleakest Black. Maggie looks over to a baby which is eating paste, who offers Maggie some. A butterfly passes Maggie, so she decides to sit down near it. However, Maggie has sat down near Gerald and he smashes the butterfly against the wall with a mallet and draws a square around it. He does this again with another butterfly. Maggie then finds a caterpillar on the floor, and it crawls onto her hand. Maggie looks at it, and then Gerald walks towards her, thinking he has something else to smash. Maggie turns around, and when she does, the caterpillar is her eyebrow. Gerald then walks off. Maggie then sneaks into another room, which has books in a pile on the floor. On top of the pile is a book entitled ''[[Goodnight Cocoon]]''. The caterpillar has crawled onto a plant leaf, and Maggie opens the book, and it is a 3D-picture book about cocoons. Maggie discovers from this that cocoons turn into butterflies, and finds a plant pot with a cocoon on a leaf, which the caterpillar has formed. Maggie remembers that Gerald will smash the butterfly, and so she decides to save it. Unbeknownst to Maggie, Gerald has also snuck into the room and when Maggie realizes this, she gets some dirt from the plant pot and throws it in Gerald's face. Maggie then runs off with the plant pot while Gerald is close behind with his mallet. Maggie runs into a room with a little train set and train tracks. She jumps over the track, but Gerald has to wait while the train passes. Maggie gets to a telephone which is on the wall, but then realizes it is a toy after she fails to call for help. Maggie runs off again, with Gerald close behind. Maggie gets through a room with some babies who are in little cars, who block Gerald from entering the room. Gerald then kicks the little cars out of his way, and cars bump into other cars. One of the cars bumps into Maggie, who drops the plant pot. The cocoon opens at that moment and the butterfly slides out into Maggie's hands. Maggie then attempts to throw it out of an open window, but as soon as it reaches the window, the blinds are shut by Gerald, squashing the butterfly. Maggie avenges the butterfly's death, with musical accompaniment from the band with some toddlers in it. Gerald looks on happily, while Maggie is on the floor, upset. Marge then picks Maggie up and puts her over her shoulder. They walk out of the center, while Gerald looks upon her from the other end of the hallway. In the room, Gerald draws up the blinds and finds that the butterfly is in fact Maggie's bow. Gerald is shocked at this, and the blinds shut on his head. In the car, Maggie's bow starts moving and it flies out of the car window, and she realizes that her bow is the butterfly and Maggie becomes happy again. As the car drives off, Maggie's waves the butterfly goodbye.

== Production ==
The producers decided to focus the short on Maggie as it is hard to make a 20 minute Maggie episode, but easy to make a 4-5 minute short. [[James Brooks]] came up with the idea of doing a short, similar the {{w|Pixar}} shorts. The short is dialogue-free.<ref name="insidetv"/>

On May 24, 2012, David Silverman's Twitter account posted a drawing from the short featuring Maggie,<ref>[https://twitter.com/tubatron/status/205664977229586433 Twitter]</ref> and on August 12, 2012, his Twitter account posted a sketch for the [[paste-eating baby]], which he drew after Al Jean suggested an [[Augustus Gloop]] type character for the short.<ref>[https://twitter.com/tubatron/status/234709826142351360 Twitter]</ref>

''The Longest Daycare'' came about when ''The Simpsons'' executive producer [[James L. Brooks]] proposed the idea of making a short film and releasing it in cinemas in front of a feature film—similar to how the people at the animation film studio {{w|Pixar}} create shorts and release them in front of their films. He wanted the short to be a fun gift for the fans of ''The Simpsons'', and according to the series' showrunner [[Al Jean]], "We [the staff] just wanted to do this as a way of saying, 'We appreciate how much people have stayed with the show and watched it for 25 years.'"<ref name="snierson">[http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/05/22/the-simpsons-short-film/ Entertainment Weekly - 'The Simpsons': Exclusive details on the next big-screen adventure (it's short, silent, and in 3-D)!]</ref>

[[David Silverman]], who has directed several episodes of ''The Simpsons'' as well as ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'', served as director for the short.<ref name="snierson"/>

It also upholds (more than the TV series itself) one of the golden rules of animation: no talking."<ref name=Scott>[http://movies.nytimes.com/2012/07/13/movies/review-ice-age-continental-drift-with-ray-romano.html?smid=tw-nytimesmovies&seid=auto The New York Times - The Chatty Cathys of the Prehistoric World]</ref> Tim Martain of ''The Mercury'' has also described the short as "touching".<ref name=Martain>[http://www.themercury.com.au/article/2012/06/30/341381_movie-reviews.html The Mercury - Quite an ice touch]</ref> Tom Russo from ''The Boston Globe'' thought the short was "a welcome throwback to the days when ''The Simpsons'' had more sentiment at its core, and wasn't so much about the latest batch of newbie Ivy League writers taking their cues from ''[[Family Guy]]''."<ref name=Russo>[http://www.boston.com/ae/movies/2012/07/12/shivering-their-timbers-ice-age/ANBhs0NBdGp0zzlZ9vqIjL/story.html The Boston Globe - Shivering their timbers in 'Ice Age']</ref>

== List of things to be discussed ==
*Cancelling Randomno's proposal (below) to cancel the outcome of May 7th's meeting. Most of these topics have been brought up three times now.
*Cancelling everything that was said in May 7th's meeting, and repeating the topics in the this one.
*<s>Did You Know? section during the summer</s> <tt>Wiki discussion being opened</tt>
*<s>Framegrabs</s> <tt>No</tt>
**<s>Framegrab wiki</s> <tt>No</tt>
**<s>Should we keep framegrabs?</s> <tt>No</tt>
*Capitlization of a, am, an, and, are, as, at, be, by, for, if, in, is, it, of, on, or, so, the, to and with.
*Dictionary wiki. Points to discuss:
**Easier to find; half of our viewers probably don't know we have a dictionary.
**A name like "Simptionary" or something, otherwise we'd have to call it "the dictionary namespace".
**Easier to add project page, instead of putting "Wikisimpsons:Dictionary:Project page" or "Dictionary:Project:Project page".
*<s>''Tapped Out'' location articles</s> <tt>Yes</tt>
*[[:File:No character image.png]]
*German wiki
**Ways to keep it more active
**Improvements
*[[Blog:Changing bullets in appearances to numbers]]
*Images on infoboxes for comics, title, front page or a frame?
*Main pages for comics
*Article milestones page
*Project Re-Watch
*Navboxes for songs in each season (ex: [[Template:Season 11 Songs]]).
*Improving the box on the left on navboxes (ex: [[Template:Specials]]).
*Extras tab for comic issues. (credit/letters/Bongo beat/etc.)

"'''There's No Disgrace Like Home'''" is the fourth episode of [[season 1]]. It originally aired on January 28,[[1990]].

== Synopsis ==
After an embarrassing experience at the company picnic, [[Homer]] begins to wonder if his family is too dysfunctional. Homer, [[Marge]], [[Bart]], [[Lisa]] and [[Maggie]] attend family therapy sessions with [[Dr. Marvin Monroe]], an unorthodox psychotherapist who uses shock therapy to "cure" them.

== Plot ==
The episode begins with Bart and Lisa in the living room, pushing and shoving each other, while having an argument. Homer quickly rushes in to break them up. He tells them to get the bad behavior out of their system, because they are going to [[Mr. Burns]]' company picnic, and he doesn’t want his family to embarrass him in front of Mr. Burns. In the kitchen, Homer admires all of the gelatin desserts that Marge has prepared for the picnic. Homer is hoping to earn brownie points with Mr. Burns because Mr. Burns commented once before on how he liked Marge's gelatin dessert. The Simpsons drive to [[Burns Manor|Mr. Burns' mansion]] and each family member carries a dessert in their lap. As they arrive at the mansion and walk up to the front door, Homer reminds his family that they need to behave and show him some love and/or respect. At the front door to the mansion, Mr. Burns greets his guests. The kid in the family ahead of the Simpsons, makes a smart aleck comment, and Mr. Burns orders Smithers to fire the father of the child. A nervous Homer and the rest of the family make it through their greeting with Mr. Burns without incident.

Cut to the backyard of the mansion where Homer once again tells his family that they have to act normal. Bart and Lisa quickly run off to play in the water fountain and Homer chases after them leaving Marge and Maggie behind. Another woman carrying a baby approaches Marge and suggests that they go place their babies in the nursery and grab a glass of punch together. Marge is reluctant at first, but then after seeing Homer chase the misbehaving kids around the backyard she decides to have a glass of punch. Cut back to Homer who is disciplining Bart, when [[Smithers]] comes over a loudspeaker and announces the father-son sack race. Homer reminds Bart that they have to let Mr. Burns win. Meanwhile, Marge is conversing with all the wives of the workers; she begins to get a little tipsy from having a little too much punch. Back to the sack race, where Smithers gives Mr. Burns a head start and then fires the starting gun. Mr. Burns is out in front of everyone, when suddenly Bart can’t stand it anymore and decides to make a break for the finish line. Homer quickly hops up ahead and tackles Bart just short of the finish line, allowing Mr. Burns to finish first. Meanwhile, a heavily intoxicated Marge leads all the women in a [[Hey Brother, Pour the Wine|song and dance number]], when Homer, who is chasing Bart and Lisa, runs by and is shocked at Marge’s behavior. He quickly whisks her away from the punch and tells her to keep it together because Mr. Burns is about to give a toast.

Everyone at the picnic gathers as Mr. Burns gives a toast, he thanks everyone for coming, but tells them all to leave immediately as the hounds will be released in 10 minutes. Everyone heads out, and Homer notices the family ahead of them; the son gives the father a kiss and tells him he had a great time. Mr. Burns witnesses this, and Homer overhears Burns tell Smithers to give that man a raise. Homer quickly turns around, and tells Bart to give him a kiss; Bart reluctantly agrees, Homer puts on a cheesy smile, and Mr. Burns is not amused. Outside in the parking lot Homer confronts the father from the "perfect" family ahead of him, and tells him he can stop the fake cornball routine. But the father doesn’t understand what Homer is talking about. Homer watches as the two kids from the "perfect" family politely open the car door for each other and he notices that the wife offers to drive the family home after a long day. Homer turns to his family and sees Bart and Lisa fighting over the backseat and Marge in the front seat, who looks like she is about to vomit. As the "perfect" family drives off, Homer envisions the clouds opening up and a beam a sunlight coming down upon them as they float up to the [[Heaven]]s. When Homer turns back to his family, he envisions them as devilish creatures trying to pull him down to [[Hell]]. Homer, ashamed of his family, drives them home.

The next day the Marge and the kids eat TV dinners in the living room and watch TV together when Homer walks in and decides that tonight they are all going to eat at the dinner table like a normal family. Cut to everyone seated at the dinner table, Lisa asks if he is happy now and when Homer says yes, everyone begins piling food into their mouths. Homer yells at them to stop and tells Bart to offer a prayer first before everyone eats. Bart half attempt at a prayer forces Homer to lead a prayer of his own. During his prayer he expresses his dissatisfaction with the way his family behaves. When Marge and the kids tell Homer they think that nothing is wrong with the family, Homer decides to prove to them that there is something wrong. He leads the family in a tour around the neighborhood, peeking into random houses to observe their neighbors family life. The first house they peek into contains a happy family sitting down to a nice fancy dinner. Bart suggests that this family is the exception to the rule and Homer shows his family another house. Inside the next house, the two parents have a nice conversation with their son. But the father hears the Simpsons just outside his window and chases them off with a shotgun. The Simpsons run off into another families’ yard, walk up to the window and peek in. Only after Bart comments about what a dump the place is and after Homer tramples the flowerbed, do they realize that it is actually their house. Everyone goes back inside except for a bummed Homer, who announces that he is going to Moe’s for a while.

At [[Moe's]], Homer sits at the bar, watches some boxing on TV and drinks a beer when [[Eddie]] and [[Lou]], the two local corruptible cops, stop in for a beer. They mention that they are searching for a family a prowlers and their scent dog goes crazy when he picks up Homer’s scent. Lucky for Homer, the cops are oblivious to the dog and leave without incident. Homer explains what is on his mind to Moe and [[Barney]], and when Barney tells Homer that he got dealt a bad hand and that no one could control his kids, Homer becomes defensive with Barney and punches him in the face. An unfazed Barney pounds Homer on the top of the head and Homer goes down hard; mimicking the fight on TV. As Homer lies on the ground he looks up at the TV and sees a commercial for Dr. [[Marvin Monroe]]'s Family Therapy Center. Dr. Monroe claims he can fix any family’s problems or double their money back. Homer suddenly realizes the answer to his problems and dials the toll free phone number from the commercial.

Marge and the kids watch an [[Untitled Itchy & Scratchy cartoon (There's No Disgrace Like Home)|untitled]] [[Itchy & Scratchy]], when Homer walks in the living room and announces he has made an appointment at Dr. Monroe's Family Therapy Center. The family balks at the idea, but Homer is insistent even though it is going to cost $250. Homer decides to use the money from the kids’ college fund to pay for the appointment. But when it is revealed that the fund has only $85.50 in it, Homer goes to extreme measures and pawns the TV for the remainder of the needed money. The family pleads with him not to, but Homer is on a mission to make his family better. In the waiting room at the Family Therapy Center, Homer approaches the cashier with $250 in cash and as he holds the money in his hand he begins to wonder if the therapy will be worth it. But when Homer sees a happy family exit from a treatment session, Homer becomes determined again to make his family better. Homer plunks the money down and Dr. Monroe comes out into the waiting room to greet the Simpsons.

The therapy treatment begins as Dr. Monroe brings them into another room, sits them down and asks them each to draw a picture that represents the source of their unhappiness. Marge and the kids all draw a picture of Homer, while Homer gets lost in the task and begins drawing a picture of an airplane. Dr. Monroe explains to Homer that he is viewed as a stern authority figure. When Bart chimes and agrees with Dr. Monroe, Homer becomes filled with rage, picks up a lamp and threatens to smash Bart with it. Dr. Monroe calms Homer down and asks the family to try a different exercise. The next exercise involves the family beating each other with giant foam mallets. The exercise doesn't seem to work though, as the family grows tired of swinging the mallets; the exercise ends when Bart removes the foam from his mallet and whacks Dr. Monroe in the knee with it. Dr. Monroe can see that the Simpson family is not responding to conventional treatment, so his next exercise for the family is a bit different. He places each of the Simpsons in their own chair, hooked up to deliver an electric shock. Each chair has buttons that when pressed will deliver an electric shock to another corresponding chair. With all of the Simpsons strapped in, Dr. Monroe instructs them only to shock someone else if that person hurts them emotionally. But the exercise goes haywire when everyone goes free for all and mashes the buttons shocking each other repeatedly. The lights in the Family Therapy Center and all across Springfield dim and fade. A quick cut to Mr. Burns shows that he is loving all the energy use. Back at the Family Therapy Center Dr. Monroe screams at the Simpsons to stop, but no one listens and Dr. Monroe is forced to pull the plug on the machine because the Simpsons are overheating it. Dr. Monroe kicks the Simpsons out, but before he can, Homer demands double his money back just like the commercial said. Once outside, Dr. Monroe pays Homer $500 and the Simpsons happily walk away. They all feel a sense of camaraderie with each other and feel good for having “earned” the $500. Everyone expresses their love towards Homer and he announces that with the $500 he is going to buy a brand new TV.

The episode shows telltale signs of being one of the earliest shows of the season produced. The characters act slightly different than they would in later seasons. Lisa is a brat, Marge is a drunk and Homer is concerned that his family is going to make him look bad.<ref name="reiss">{{cite video | people=Reiss, Mike|year=2001|title=The Simpsons season 1 DVD commentary for the episode "There's No Disgrace Like Home"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> It was an early episode for Mr. Burns, in which he had a different voice than the one it would later become. Originally, the character was influenced by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan Ronald Reagan], which was later dropped. The idea that he would greet his employees using index cards was inspired by how [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan Ronald Reagan] would greet people.<ref name="reiss"/> The episode marks the first time Burns says "release the hounds".<ref name="jean"/> It also marked the first appearance of [[Eddie]] and [[Lou]], although Lou was not black, but instead yellow like the rest of the characters. Lou was named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Whitaker Lou Whitaker] - a former [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball Major League Baseball] player.<ref name="jean"/> It is the first appearance of [[Itchy & Scratchy]], although the cat and mouse duo appeared in the [[The Simpsons shorts|shorts]].<ref name="jean"/>

The idea behind the scene in which the family takes turn to electrically shock each other was based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurel_and_Hardy Laurel and Hardy] throwing pies at each other, albeit played out more sadistically.<ref name="groening"/> The scene was rearranged in the editing room, because when it was first produced it played out differently. The edits made to the finished product were preliminary, however they were received well and remained unchanged.<ref name="groening"/>

== Reception ==
The authors of the book ''I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide'', Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, note: "It's very strange to see Homer pawning the TV set in an attempt to save the family; if this episode had come later Marge would surely have taken this stance." They continue, "A neat swipe at family counselling with some great set pieces; we're especially fond of the perfect version of the Simpsons and the electric-shock aversion therapy". In a DVD review of the first season, David B. Grelck gave the episode a rating of 2.0/5.0, placing it as one of the worst of the season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wdbgproductions.com/cinerama/reviews/simpsonsseason1.htm|title=The Simpsons: The Complete First season|accessdate=2008-01-14|year=2003|author=Grelck, David B|publisher=WDBG Productions}}</ref>

This episode would have been one of the first seen by British viewers. It was the first episode to be broadcast by the BBC on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_November 23 November] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996 1996] on a Saturday at 5.30pm, because the episodes were shown out of order. The episode episode were screened with five million viewers that was slighly less than the show, ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dad's_Army Dad's Army]'', which previously held the timeslot. The episode also faced competition from ITV's screening of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabrina_the_Teenage_Witch Sabrina the Teenage Witch]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.offthetelly.co.uk/comedy/simpsons/bbc.htm|title=THAT IS SO 1991!

The scene where the family took turns electrically shocking each other appeared in the movie ''{{W|Die Hard 2}}''.<ref name="jean"/>

Bacon

'''Bacon''' is a meat product, made from pig.

== History ==
Despite being in poor shape health wise, [[Homer]] still eats bacon and eggs for breakfast, over the healthier option of oatmeal.<ref>"[[Homer's Triple Bypass]]"</ref>

[[Kirk Van Houten]], when slandering [[Luann Van Houten|Luann]]'s cooking, said he hadn't had a decent breakfast since the army, and that he would get a decent breakfast from the high school hooligans egging their {{w|Pontiac Bonneville|Bonneville}} if they threw him some bacon.<ref>"[[A Milhouse Divided]]"</ref>

After discovering he could sell grease for profit, Homer started frying large amounts of bacon. $27 worth of bacon made him ¢63, a high profit loss. He later expanded this into a full-blown business, [[Simpson & Son Grease Co.]].<ref>"[[Lard of the Dance]]"</ref>

Homer is shouting at [[Bart]] to follow his belief in buttering his bacon. Bart agrees, so Lisa starts discussing her recent change in spiritualism. However Homer soon stops her, to tell Bart to "bacon up that sausage". Bart moans that his heart hurts, but after a glare from Homer, he does as he is told.<ref>"[[She of Little Faith]]"</ref>

To get Homer to the door to receive a subpoena (about misspending Bart's earnings as [[Baby Stink Breath]]), the [[Blue-haired lawyer]] puts a side of bacon at the door.<ref>"[[Barting Over]]"</ref>

A truck carrying hot fudge collided with a truck carrying bacon. Homer samples it an exclaims "Mmm... move over eggs, bacon just got a new best friend... fudge."<ref>"[[Pray Anything]]"</ref>

[[Abbie]], [[Homer]]'s half-sister, said "Mmm... bacon".<ref>"[[The Regina Monologues]]"</ref>

In his song, "[[You're a Hero]]", Homer calls himself a "double-bacon geniusburger".<ref>"[['Tis the Fifteenth Season]]"</ref>

After seeing a commercial, Homer tries to find a Golden Ticket to gain access to [[Farmer Billy's Bacon Factory]]. He brought mass quantities of the product from the [[Kwik-E-Mart]], but only found a silver ticket. This allowed him to judge at the upcoming county fair.<ref name="Simple Simpson">"[[Simple Simpson]]"</ref>

En-route to [[Oregon]], Homer stops at [[Skobo's]], a restaurant. He orders the smiley face breakfast special, asking to have a bacon nose, bacon hair, bacon moustache, a five o'clock shadow made of bacon bits and a bacon body. The waitress suggested just shoving a pig down his throat, exciting Homer. She revealed she was just kidding, so Homer says his bacon man lives in a bacon house. The waitress replies that he doesn't.

[[Sideshow Raheem]] quit [[Krusty]]'s show after one week. One of the theories behind this is that Krusty spiked Raheem's soup with bacon. Raheem follows Islam, and so bacon, being a pork product, is a no-go.<ref>''[[The Lisa Book]]''</ref>

Bart wanted to go to the cinema, but couldn't afford it as Homer wanted to buy a bacon station. Once Bart finally sneaks into the film, much to his embarrassment, Homer is there with his bacon station, selling to movie goers.<ref>''[[Bart Goes to the Movies]]''</ref>

== Non-canon ==
When [[Marge]] fell asleep at [[First Church of Springfield|church]], she dreamt she and Homer were [[Eve]] and [[Adam]] in the Bible story. The [[Pig of Eden]] supplied them with many pork products, including bacon. Others were pork chops and pork ribs.<ref>"[[Simpsons Bible Stories]]"</ref>

When the [[Simpson family|Simpsons]] get the [[Ultrahouse 3000]], it falls in love with [[Marge]]. To "get her", he plans to kill Homer. It starts frying bacon, alerting a half-awake Homer, who exclaims "[[Mmm...]] unexplained bacon". He goes into the kitchen, where the Ultrahouse uses ice cubes, the dining table and its garbage disposal to "kill" Homer.<ref>"[[Treehouse of Horror XII]]"</ref>

[[Homer Simpson]] once mixed a jar of [[Finally together! Bacon bits and dried grits]] with [[Pork Powder|pork powder]] and [[mayo]].<ref name="MMKCGSFO">''[[Milhouse the Man, Krusty in the Can, and the Great Springfield Frink-Out]]''</ref>

== Bacon products ==

*[[Finally together! Bacon bits and dried grits]]<ref name="MMKCGSFO"/>
*[[Super Deluxe Krusty Burger]], with bacon, chili, cheese and extra Krusty Secret Sauce.{{fact}}
*[[Krusty-Bacon Swirlie]]{{fact}}

== Behind the Laughter ==
*In ''[[Al-Shamshoon]]'', the short-lived Arabic dub of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', pork products, including bacon, were removed for religious reasons.
*The bacon and eggs seen in "[[Homer's Triple Bypass]]" changed color between shots.
