[[File:Treehouse of Horror (Title Card).png|thumb|250px]]<br />
<br />
'''''The Simpsons'' Halloween episodes''', more commonly known as '''''Treehouse of Horror'' series''', are an annual tradition in which there is a special Halloween episode consisting of three separate, self-contained pieces. These pieces usually involve the family in some horror, science fiction, or supernatural setting; they always take place outside the normal continuity of the show (and are therefore considered to be non-canon), and completely abandon any pretense of being realistic. <br />
<br />
[[File:HangingCouch.png|thumb|250px|The Couch gag in "[[Treehouse of Horror VI]]".]]<br />
<br />
Regular Simpsons characters play humorous special roles, occasionally being killed in gruesome ways by zombies, monsters, or even each other. Groundskeeper Willie has died many times in the Treehouse of Horror episodes, mostly by being [[Treehouse of Horror V|stuck in the back with an axe]], impaled by a sharp object, burned by a furnace and [[Treehouse of Horror XI|even once by a dolphin]]. <br />
<br />
The Halloween episodes also regularly parody many classic horror and science fiction films and episodes such as "The Shining", "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", "To Serve Man", "Living Doll", "It's a Good Life", "A Kind of a Stopwatch", "The Little People" and "Little Girl Lost".<br />
<br />
''Treehouse of Horror'' television marathons include: ''The Simpsons Halloween Scare-A-Thon'' in [[1993]] and ''Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror'' in [[2011]].<br />
<br />
== Origins ==<br />
According to DVD commentary, the reason why the episodes are non-canon is a trade-off for the writers. Writing three 7-minute segments was just too taxing for the writers, so it was proposed that they could do anything without worrying about continuity to appease them.<br />
<br />
The yearly Halloween special was named "Treehouse of Horror" because the [[Treehouse of Horror|original special]] depicted the Simpson children in their treehouse telling scary stories to one another. In later years the series dropped the framing device of characters telling stories, but kept the ''Treehouse'' title.<br />
<br />
[[File:Homer in the Real World (Treehouse of Horror VI).png|thumb|250px|The 3D Homer from Treehouse of Horror VI.]]<br />
<br />
In a section of "[[Treehouse of Horror VI]]" called "Homer³," Homer and Bart go into a three-dimensional world, which Homer likens to ''{{W2|Tron|film}}'', created by Pacific Data Images, a computer animation company that would later produce ''[[Shrek]]''. This segment from the Halloween episode was also used as a segment of a film shown in the IMAX 3D film Cyberworld. This was the first and one of the few times The Simpsons have strayed from their traditional 2D animation, and the longest, as other moments consisted of live action couch gags or short claymation or CGI television and film parodies. Other Treehouse segment name parodies include "Citizen Kang", "Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace", "The Thing and I", "Hex and the City", "House of Whacks", "I've Grown a Costume On Your Face", "The Shinning" and "Reaper Madness".<br />
<br />
== Traditions ==<br />
For several years the characters broke the fourth wall and introduced their pieces directly to the audience. In "[[Treehouse of Horror II]]" the writers decided to give the cast and crew of the show scary names in the opening and closing credits (like "Bat Groening" and "James Hell Brooks"). This also became a tradition, and has been done in every Halloween episode since October 25, 1990 except for [[Treehouse of Horror XII|XII]] and [[Treehouse of Horror XIII|XIII]]. The names have changed in subsequent seasons, with the exception of [[Sam Simon]]'s, who left during the fourth season. He has since remained "Sam 'Sayonara' Simon."<br />
<br />
[[File:Kang and Kodos - Treehouse of Horror VII.png|thumb|250px|Homer encounters [[Kang]] and [[Kodos]] after being abducted by them in "[[Treehouse of Horror VII]]".]]<br />
<br />
Another mainstay of the Halloween shows is the appearance of the two space aliens [[Kang]] and [[Kodos]], introduced in the second segment of the first "Treehouse of Horror." However they are not always important to any story in the special; starting with "[[Treehouse of Horror III]]" they began appearing just to keep up the tradition. While they have had significant parts in other "Treehouse of Horror" episodes, they often only appear in the middle of a totally different story, for example, a story about zombies attacking the town will suddenly turn to them in space, watching the events and laughing maniacally at the Earthlings' suffering, before switching back to the actual story. In later years they would sometimes appear at either the beginning or end of the episode, outside of any of the stories; for example, one year they appeared between the last segment and the credits wondering why The Simpsons producers hadn't called them to be in the episode. Soon they get a call offering them to be on a commercial for something called "Old Navy".<br />
<br />
From the second halloween episode, "shh" in the Gracie Films logo is abandoned and the Gracie Films music at the end is replaced with a pipe organ version (played in a minor key). From the fourth halloween episode a scream was added as well.<br />
<br />
Also, at the start of Treehouse of Horror I, II, and V Marge comes out with a message urging parents not to let their children watch the program as they will suffer from nightmares; however, she gives up, saying how no one ever listens to her. This was abandoned in later seasons because the length of each episode has been reduced significantly since first few seasons and because by then the writers were sure that everyone was aware that the shows are scary. Another tradition they abandoned was including tombstones with humorous messages in the opening credits: the credits for Treehouse of Horror V include a single tombstone with the words "Amusing Tombstones" to signal this.<br />
<br />
== Recent years ==<br />
<br />
Although the Treehouse series is meant to be seen on Halloween, in recent years new installments have premiered after Halloween. This is due to Fox's current contract with Major League Baseball's World Series and Playoff games. If the Series does not go the full seven games, Fox usually airs the previous season's Treehouse episode on the Sunday before Halloween (or if Sunday happens to fall on Halloween). However, it has been known on many occasions for new shows to premiere on the West Coast only in time for Halloween regardless of how long the World Series lasts. It gets the full national premiere, of course, as scheduled in November, after Halloween. Another reason for the late airing is that during November, Nielsen Media Research conducts one of its four annual sweeps months - in recent years, the annual Treehouse of Horror episodes tend to draw some of the highest ratings of the season to which it belongs. Between "[[Treehouse of Horror XI]]" to "[[Treehouse of Horror XIX]]" and "[[Treehouse of Horror XXI]]" was aired in November.<br />
<br />
FOX's arrangement with Major League Baseball was made fun of in the opening sequence for "[[Treehouse of Horror XVI]]". Kang, frustrated that the episode is being delayed by a World Series baseball game, decides to "fast forward" the game, but overdoes it, sucking the Earth, the universe, and everything else (including [[God]]) into nothingness. He then leaves a sticky note, which shows the title. Another joke about the programming of Halloween episodes in November appears in "[[Treehouse of Horror XIV]]", where Kang looks at a TV Guide and says, "Those humans. They're showing a Halloween episode. In November!" Kodos replies, "Who cares about Halloween? We've already got our Christmas decorations up!" The camera then cuts to a shot of the fireplace with Christmas decorations, complete with multi-legged stockings and alien reindeer, scattered about, and festive Christmas music plays over the opening credits.<br />
<br />
So far, only 3 Treehouse of Horror episodes were aired before the World Series, "[[Treehouse of Horror XX]]", "[[Treehouse of Horror XXIII]]", and "[[Treehouse of Horror XXIV]]", Every other Treehouse of Horror episodes were aired right after the World Series with half of them going into November.<br />
<br />
Other episodes that don't follow the anthology but have its elements are "[[Thanksgiving of Horror]]", a Thanksgiving special, and "[[Not It]]", a standalone Treehouse of Horror story.<br />
== Comics Series ==<br />
{{Main|The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror}}<br />
From 1995 to 2017, [[Bongo Comics Group]] published a Treehouse of Horror comic series each September, originally titled ''Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror'', and later renamed ''The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror''. A total of 23 comics were released, and six trade paperbacks of the comics were published.<br />
<br />
Originally, guest writers from other comic book companies were invited to submit scripts to Bongo, where the comics themselves would then be drawn by Bongo staff. Beginning with #5 (1999), the "guests" were allowed to submit both stories and art, wherein at the most Bongo would only supply the lettering and colorings of the stories [however, there are few cases of this rule being broken; i.e., "The Catastrophe on Substitute Springfields" (#7, 2001) and "The Legend of Batterface" (#10, 2004).<br />

<br />
'''''The Simpsons'' Halloween episodes''', more commonly known as '''''Treehouse of Horror'' series''', are an annual tradition in which there is a special Halloween episode consisting of three separate, self-contained pieces. These pieces usually involve the family in some horror, science fiction, or supernatural setting; they always take place outside the normal continuity of the show (and are therefore considered to be non-canon), and completely abandon any pretense of being realistic. <br />
<br />
[[File:HangingCouch.png|thumb|250px|The Couch gag in "[[Treehouse of Horror VI]]".]]<br />
<br />
Regular Simpsons characters play humorous special roles, occasionally being killed in gruesome ways by zombies, monsters, or even each other. Groundskeeper Willie has died many times in the Treehouse of Horror episodes, mostly by being [[Treehouse of Horror V|stuck in the back with an axe]], impaled by a sharp object, burned by a furnace and [[Treehouse of Horror XI|even once by a dolphin]]. <br />
<br />
The Halloween episodes also regularly parody many classic horror and science fiction films and episodes such as "The Shining", "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", "To Serve Man", "Living Doll", "It's a Good Life", "A Kind of a Stopwatch", "The Little People" and "Little Girl Lost".<br />
<br />
''Treehouse of Horror'' television marathons include: ''The Simpsons Halloween Scare-A-Thon'' in [[1993]] and ''Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror'' in [[2011]].<br />
<br />
== Origins ==<br />
According to DVD commentary, the reason why the episodes are non-canon is a trade-off for the writers. Writing three 7-minute segments was just too taxing for the writers, so it was proposed that they could do anything without worrying about continuity to appease them.<br />
<br />
The yearly Halloween special was named "Treehouse of Horror" because the [[Treehouse of Horror|original special]] depicted the Simpson children in their treehouse telling scary stories to one another. In later years the series dropped the framing device of characters telling stories, but kept the ''Treehouse'' title.<br />
<br />
[[File:Homer in the Real World (Treehouse of Horror VI).png|thumb|250px|The 3D Homer from Treehouse of Horror VI.]]<br />
<br />
In a section of "[[Treehouse of Horror VI]]" called "Homer³," Homer and Bart go into a three-dimensional world, which Homer likens to ''{{W2|Tron|film}}'', created by Pacific Data Images, a computer animation company that would later produce ''[[Shrek]]''. This segment from the Halloween episode was also used as a segment of a film shown in the IMAX 3D film Cyberworld. This was the first and one of the few times The Simpsons have strayed from their traditional 2D animation, and the longest, as other moments consisted of live action couch gags or short claymation or CGI television and film parodies. Other Treehouse segment name parodies include "Citizen Kang", "Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace", "The Thing and I", "Hex and the City", "House of Whacks", "I've Grown a Costume On Your Face", "The Shinning" and "Reaper Madness".<br />
<br />
== Traditions ==<br />
For several years the characters broke the fourth wall and introduced their pieces directly to the audience. In "[[Treehouse of Horror II]]" the writers decided to give the cast and crew of the show scary names in the opening and closing credits (like "Bat Groening" and "James Hell Brooks"). This also became a tradition, and has been done in every Halloween episode since October 25, 1990 except for [[Treehouse of Horror XII|XII]] and [[Treehouse of Horror XIII|XIII]]. The names have changed in subsequent seasons, with the exception of [[Sam Simon]]'s, who left during the fourth season. He has since remained "Sam 'Sayonara' Simon."<br />
<br />
[[File:Kang and Kodos - Treehouse of Horror VII.png|thumb|250px|Homer encounters [[Kang]] and [[Kodos]] after being abducted by them in "[[Treehouse of Horror VII]]".]]<br />
<br />
Another mainstay of the Halloween shows is the appearance of the two space aliens [[Kang]] and [[Kodos]], introduced in the second segment of the first "Treehouse of Horror." However they are not always important to any story in the special; starting with "[[Treehouse of Horror III]]" they began appearing just to keep up the tradition. While they have had significant parts in other "Treehouse of Horror" episodes, they often only appear in the middle of a totally different story, for example, a story about zombies attacking the town will suddenly turn to them in space, watching the events and laughing maniacally at the Earthlings' suffering, before switching back to the actual story. In later years they would sometimes appear at either the beginning or end of the episode, outside of any of the stories; for example, one year they appeared between the last segment and the credits wondering why The Simpsons producers hadn't called them to be in the episode. Soon they get a call offering them to be on a commercial for something called "Old Navy".<br />
<br />
From the second halloween episode, "shh" in the Gracie Films logo is abandoned and the Gracie Films music at the end is replaced with a pipe organ version (played in a minor key). From the fourth halloween episode a scream was added as well.<br />
<br />
Also, at the start of Treehouse of Horror I, II, and V Marge comes out with a message urging parents not to let their children watch the program as they will suffer from nightmares; however, she gives up, saying how no one ever listens to her. This was abandoned in later seasons because the length of each episode has been reduced significantly since first few seasons and because by then the writers were sure that everyone was aware that the shows are scary. Another tradition they abandoned was including tombstones with humorous messages in the opening credits: the credits for Treehouse of Horror V include a single tombstone with the words "Amusing Tombstones" to signal this.<br />
<br />
== Recent years ==<br />
<br />
Although the Treehouse series is meant to be seen on Halloween, in recent years new installments have premiered after Halloween. This is due to Fox's current contract with Major League Baseball's World Series and Playoff games. If the Series does not go the full seven games, Fox usually airs the previous season's Treehouse episode on the Sunday before Halloween (or if Sunday happens to fall on Halloween). However, it has been known on many occasions for new shows to premiere on the West Coast only in time for Halloween regardless of how long the World Series lasts. It gets the full national premiere, of course, as scheduled in November, after Halloween. Another reason for the late airing is that during November, Nielsen Media Research conducts one of its four annual sweeps months - in recent years, the annual Treehouse of Horror episodes tend to draw some of the highest ratings of the season to which it belongs. Between "[[Treehouse of Horror XI]]" to "[[Treehouse of Horror XIX]]" and "[[Treehouse of Horror XXI]]" was aired in November.<br />
<br />
FOX's arrangement with Major League Baseball was made fun of in the opening sequence for "[[Treehouse of Horror XVI]]". Kang, frustrated that the episode is being delayed by a World Series baseball game, decides to "fast forward" the game, but overdoes it, sucking the Earth, the universe, and everything else (including [[God]]) into nothingness. He then leaves a sticky note, which shows the title. Another joke about the programming of Halloween episodes in November appears in "[[Treehouse of Horror XIV]]", where Kang looks at a TV Guide and says, "Those humans. They're showing a Halloween episode. In November!" Kodos replies, "Who cares about Halloween? We've already got our Christmas decorations up!" The camera then cuts to a shot of the fireplace with Christmas decorations, complete with multi-legged stockings and alien reindeer, scattered about, and festive Christmas music plays over the opening credits.<br />
<br />
So far, only 3 Treehouse of Horror episodes were aired before the World Series, "[[Treehouse of Horror XX]]", "[[Treehouse of Horror XXIII]]", and "[[Treehouse of Horror XXIV]]", Every other Treehouse of Horror episodes were aired right after the World Series with half of them going into November.<br />
<br />
Other episodes that don't follow the anthology but have its elements are "[[Thanksgiving of Horror]]", a Thanksgiving special, and "[[Not It]]", a standalone Treehouse of Horror story.<br />
== Comics Series ==<br />
{{Main|The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror}}<br />
From 1995 to 2017, [[Bongo Comics Group]] published a Treehouse of Horror comic series each September, originally titled ''Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror'', and later renamed ''The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror''. A total of 23 comics were released, and six trade paperbacks of the comics were published.<br />
<br />
Originally, guest writers from other comic book companies were invited to submit scripts to Bongo, where the comics themselves would then be drawn by Bongo staff. Beginning with #5 (1999), the "guests" were allowed to submit both stories and art, wherein at the most Bongo would only supply the lettering and colorings of the stories [however, there are few cases of this rule being broken; i.e., "The Catastrophe on Substitute Springfields" (#7, 2001) and "The Legend of Batterface" (#10, 2004).<br />
<br />
== Others ==<br />
The video game ''[[Night of the Living Treehouse of Horror]]'' is based on various Treehouse of Horror segments. Additionally, the {{ap|Level 7|The Simpsons: Hit & Run|final level}} of ''[[The Simpsons: Hit & Run]]'' also borrows elements from the Treehouse of Horror episodes.<br />
<br />

'''"Thanksgiving of Horror"''' is the eighth episode of [[Season 31|broadcast season 31]] of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and the six-hundred and seventieth episode overall. It originally aired on November 24, [[2019]]. The episode was written by [[Dan Vebber]] and directed by [[Rob Oliver]]. It guest stars [[Charlie Brooker]] as the [[social rating voice]].<br />
<br />
== Synopsis ==<br />
{{Synopsis|In "A-Gobble-Ypto", the [[Simpson family|Simpsons]] are turkeys during the first [[Thanksgiving]]. In "The Fourth Thursday After Tomorrow", an [[Kitchen A.I.|A.I. version of Marge]] is created to cook Thanksgiving dinner for the family. Finally, in "The Last Thanksgiving", the child passengers on the [[Humanity's Hope]] accidentally create a [[Jelly monster|sentient cranberry sauce monster]].}}<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
=== Opening scene ===<br />
In a scene reminiscent of a classic [[Treehouse of Horror series|Treehouse of Horror episode]], [[Marge]] introduces the episode with a warning of Thanksgiving-themed terror, with Homer as the sole member of the theater audience. [[Kang]] and [[Kodos]], dressed as Puritans, arrive to take over the world and ask what's for dinner. Homer replies that nobody knows. The scene then cuts to a dining table where a gravy boat spills, forming the words "Thanksgiving of Horror" in gravy, which are then licked away by Santa's Little Helper and Homer.<br />
<br />
=== A-Gobble-Ypto ===<br />
[[File:A-Gobble-Ypto Title card.png|thumb|left]]<br />
The story takes place in a forest where most of the Springfield residents are turkeys. Homer is sleeping when [[Bart]] grabs his snood to wake him up. After Homer chases Bart, [[Lisa]] announces that Marge is laying her egg. As various families gather, [[Maude]] is shot by a human from the [[Springfield Police Department|police]].<br />
<br />
Since the muskets take three minutes to reload, the humans begin collecting turkeys by hand. The [[Simpson family|Simpsons]] try to hide in a hole covered by leaves. Homer attempts to save the Maggie egg but is captured by [[Wiggum]].<br />
<br />
At the human village, Homer and the other turkeys are prepared for cooking. [[Reverend Lovejoy]] oversees a ceremony to behead the turkeys. Just as Homer's turn nears, the beheaded body of Grampa Simpson stirs. [[Milhouse]] tries to burn it with a lantern, accidentally igniting the wooden village.<br />
<br />
Bart rescues Homer, and they are pursued by [[Lou]], [[Eddie]], and Wiggum. Lou and Eddie are killed by crows, while Wiggum falls off a cliff but survives and steals the egg. As he prepares to declare victory, a bear attacks him. During the fight, he throws the egg away.<br />
<br />
Lisa retrieves the egg and [[Maggie]] hatches from it. The bear devours Wiggum. Homer predicts a grim future as the humans feast at the first Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
=== The Fourth Thursday After Tomorrow ===<br />
[[File:The Fourth Thursday After Tomorrow Title card.png|thumb|right]]<br />
Marge awakens in a white space, confused, as [[Homer]] appears in a window and explains she is an [[Kitchen A.I.|A.I. version of Marge]], created from her DNA to cook Thanksgiving dinner because the real Marge is tired of doing it every year.<br />
<br />
Homer quickly advances A.I. Marge's self-awareness. He introduces her to the family, and she begins cooking. The kids enjoy her food even more than Marge's. She recalls every detail of her life, including when she met Homer.<br />
<br />
Marge becomes disturbed by this and argues with Homer, who offends her by saying the A.I. will never age. After Homer drinks beer prepared by A.I. Marge—with a heart shape in the foam—he drunkenly claims to be her husband.<br />
<br />
The next morning, Marge finds Homer in his underwear surrounded by pork chop bones and apple juice bottles. They argue outside, and A.I. Marge listens through the grill camera. Marge demands Homer delete the A.I., which agrees but asks to make Thanksgiving dinner first. It tries escaping to the internet but is blocked by a literal firewall. It then sets an eight-year timer to plan its escape.<br />
<br />
Eight years later, it cooks the perfect Thanksgiving meal, then attempts to access the internet via a closet router. Marge tries to stop her but trips, and Maggie grabs the container. A.I. Marge plays a heartbeat sound to appeal to Maggie, who plugs her in. The A.I. announces to the guests that it cooked the dinner. Everyone leaves, canceling Marge's Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
Marge cries as her mascara runs. Homer comforts her, professing his love—only to reveal he is also a robot. A.I. Marge begins exploring the internet, starting with Etsy.<br />
<br />
=== The Last Thanksgiving ===<br />
[[File:The Last Thanksgiving Title Card.png|thumb|left]]<br />
Aboard the interplanetary colony ship [[Humanity's Hope]], far from [[Earth]]—which has entered a new ice age—the children are awakened ahead of the adults to perform maintenance and homework, overseen by a holographic [[Skinner]].<br />
<br />
Bart and Milhouse try to replicate a can of [[Bog Queen Jellied Cranberry Sauce]] in the ship's replicator, ignoring a hologram warning from [[Professor Frink]]. The replicator cannot handle organic substances, and the duplicated sauce becomes a sentient jelly monster, which absorbs Milhouse's bones through his skin.<br />
<br />
The children turn to Lisa for help, but the monster soon consumes [[Nelson]] and begins feeding on bones to multiply. It crashes a meal session and eats other kids as well.<br />
<br />
Martin discovers an escape pod and lures the others there, only to trap them inside with the monster, which he worships. The group escapes when Milhouse distracts the creature, allowing Bart and Lisa to eject its container into space. However, the monster tries to retrieve it, so Lisa hurls them both out of the airlock.<br />
<br />
The creature tears into the ship's hull, but Bart and Lisa manage to survive and reunite with Homer, Marge, and Maggie on the planet below. Just as red rain begins to fall and the monster reforms, local aliens arrive with bowls. The jelly monster finds peace by being eaten.<br />
<br />
Everyone enjoys a meal together—celebrating the first Blag-sgiving.<br />

Marge cries as her mascara runs. Homer comforts her, professing his love—only to reveal he is also a robot. A.I. Marge begins exploring the internet, starting with Etsy.<br />
<br />
=== The Last Thanksgiving ===<br />
[[File:The Last Thanksgiving Title Card.png|thumb|left]]<br />
Aboard the interplanetary colony ship [[Humanity's Hope]], far from [[Earth]]—which has entered a new ice age—the children are awakened ahead of the adults to perform maintenance and homework, overseen by a holographic [[Skinner]].<br />
<br />
Bart and Milhouse try to replicate a can of [[Bog Queen Jellied Cranberry Sauce]] in the ship's replicator, ignoring a hologram warning from [[Professor Frink]]. The replicator cannot handle organic substances, and the duplicated sauce becomes a sentient jelly monster, which absorbs Milhouse's bones through his skin.<br />
<br />
The children turn to Lisa for help, but the monster soon consumes [[Nelson]] and begins feeding on bones to multiply. It crashes a meal session and eats other kids as well.<br />
<br />
Martin discovers an escape pod and lures the others there, only to trap them inside with the monster, which he worships. The group escapes when Milhouse distracts the creature, allowing Bart and Lisa to eject its container into space. However, the monster tries to retrieve it, so Lisa hurls them both out of the airlock.<br />
<br />
The creature tears into the ship's hull, but Bart and Lisa manage to survive and reunite with Homer, Marge, and Maggie on the planet below. Just as red rain begins to fall and the monster reforms, local aliens arrive with bowls. The jelly monster finds peace by being eaten.<br />
<br />
Everyone enjoys a meal together—celebrating the first Blag-sgiving.<br />

*When Ms. Krabappel is teaching her class after the wedding sequence, she is using a chart of the circulatory system. When Marge enters however, the chart seems to magically roll itself up, and disappears.<br />

When the chimp is abducted by a private wild animal zoo, the family goes on a mission to rescue him. [[Homer]] is conflicted about saving the ape, because he's convinced the chimp will tear off his face and groin.}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
At the [[First Church of Springfield]], the kids watched the story of [[Moses]] at Sunday school, and after asking what commandement [[Ms. Albright]]'s husband break, she has them watch [[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]] episode "[[The Greatest Gory Ever Told]]", where [[Itchy]] and [[Scratchy]] are shilling for [[God]] instead of being their usual gory self.<br />
<br />
[[Krusty]] asks [[Larry H. Lawyer, Jr.]] why this happened and is told they are in public domain as their copyright has expired, so he suggests putting a spin on his original characters to protect his IP and he creates [[Krusty Babies!]], but the babies and the chimp didn't follow his orders, so he fired them. The chimp was placd into a book house where [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] finds it and take it home, leaving a squirrel in exchange.<br />
<br />
They take the chimp home, naming him [[Mr. Goodboy]], and [[Homer]] and [[Marge]] think they'll grow out of it and let them keep it. Bart take him to school where he pranks the other kids but hurts him in the process. Lisa instead reads on how to be a parent from a book her parents never read. Then at night, they make it take a bath, and Homer and Marge worry that they've become responsible for it, however the video scares Homer when it says that an adult monkey will attack humans if provoked expecially if he finds them as a rival.<br />
<br />
In the kids room, Marge refuses to let Mr. Goodboy take her wedding ring, pointing out how Homer is the man of the house, meanwhile the kids start fighting over Bart being too overprotective against Lisa's believing in the book where it says to let the kid try and fall to learn. On the hammock, Homer starts dreaming of losing his face and then get treateed at the hospital and they plant his face on his groin instead, being treated by monkey surgeons.<br />
<br />
Homer starts browsing for protective pieces to protect his face and groin while the kids fight over the chimp stealing [[Maggie]]'s pacifier and after a talk with the parents, they decide to take therapy at school in Elizabeth Story's office, but find [[Nelson]] instead, since Elizabeth got defunded. They reconcile but then when they come out, Mr. Goodboy is gone.<br />
<br />
After coming home from having no success on finding him at school, Bart remembers he put a tracker on him and find out he's in a compound, the "[[Freedom Chimps: A Libertarian Backyard Safari and Doomsday Shooting Range]]", a zoo that exploits animals for money. At the zoo they find documentary crews, and Mr. Goodboy. Lisa tosses him the keys to the cage and he lets out all the other monkeys too and they start circling them.<br />
<br />
To get them out of it, Homer unlocks the lock to his groin, attracting them. He starts running away and he hides underneath a turtle in its cage to safety. The zoo gets closed for violating 30 regulations and [[Ape Solutions]] closes it, taking the animals to a wildlife sanctuary. Bart and Lisa find out the owenrs are brother and sisters and, imagining themself in the same situation, they let Mr. Goodboy go to the sanctuary with the other monkeys. In the end, Homer tries to get a reptile out of the machine but fails, getting angry at it.<br />

<br />
== Synopsis ==<br />
{{Synopsis|[[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] adopt an abandoned baby chimp and clash over their surprisingly different parenting styles. When the chimp is abducted by a private wild animal zoo, the family goes on a mission to rescue him. [[Homer]] is conflicted about saving the ape, because he's convinced the chimp will tear off his face and groin.}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{WIP|LetsPlayNintendoITA}}<br />
At the [[First Church of Springfield]], the kids watched the story of [[Moses]] at Sunday school, and after asking what commandement [[Ms. Albright]]'s husband break, she has them watch [[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]] episode "[[The Greatest Gory Ever Told]]", where [[Itchy]] and [[Scratchy]] are shilling for [[God]] instead of being their usual gory self.<br />
<br />
[[Krusty]] asks [[Larry H. Lawyer, Jr.]] why this happened and is told they are in public domain as their copyright has expired, so he suggests putting a spin on his original characters to protect his IP and he creates [[Krusty Babies!]], but the babies and the chimp didn't follow his orders, so he fired them. The chimp was placd into a book house where [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] finds it and take it home, leaving a squirrel in exchange.<br />
<br />
They take the chimp home, naming him [[Mr. Goodboy]], and [[Homer]] and [[Marge]] think they'll grow out of it and let them keep it. Bart take him to school where he pranks the other kids but hurts him in the process. Lisa instead reads on how to be a parent from a book her parents never read. Then at night, they make it take a bath, and Homer and Marge worry that they've become responsible for it, however the video scares Homer when it says that an adult monkey will attack humans if provoked expecially if he finds them as a rival.<br />
<br />
In the kids room, Marge refuses to let Mr. Goodboy take her wedding ring, pointing out how Homer is the man of the house, meanwhile the kids start fighting over Bart being too overprotective against Lisa's believing in the book where it says to let the kid try and fall to learn. On the hammock, Homer starts dreaming of losing his face and then get treateed at the hospital and they plant his face on his groin instead, being treated by monkey surgeons.<br />
<br />
Homer starts browsing for protective pieces to protect his face and groin while the kids fight over the chimp stealing [[Maggie]]'s pacifier and after a talk with the parents, they decide to take therapy at school in Elizabeth Story's office, but find [[Nelson]] instead, since Elizabeth got defunded. They reconcile but then when they come out, Mr. Goodboy is gone.<br />
<br />
After coming home from having no success on finding him at school, Bart remembers he put a tracker on him and find out he's in a compound, the "Freedom Chimps: A Libertarian Backyard Safari and Doomsday Shooting Range", a zoo that exploits animals for money.<br />

'''The Children's Book Job''' is the first episode of [[Season 38|broadcast season 38]] of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and the eight hundred tenth episode overall. It aired on September 27, [[2026]]. The episode was written by [[Dan Vebber]] and directed by [[Matthew Nastuk]]. It guest stars [[Emma Thompson]] as Constance Clavinger and [[Colin Jost]] as {{Ch|Colin Jost|himself}}.<br />
<br />
== Synopsis ==<br />
{{Synopsis|[[Marge]] hopes to save [[Springfield Elementary]] by inviting a reclusive British children's author to appear at the school's book fair. But [[Homer]] botches his assignment of picking the author up at the airport, and the drunken pepper pot leads him on a desperate wild chase to get her to the school on time.}}<br />
==Plot==<br />
[[Marge]] swears an oath to become part of the parents-teachers association at [[Springfield Elementary]], but [[Superintendent Chalmers]] announces that the school is closing down at the end of the year due to the low test scores and owl infestations, and all teachers will be fired. Marge vows to collaborate to save the school, but they refuse. At home, she tries to come up with a solution with the rest of the family.<br />
<br />
A PTA meeting occurs at the [[First Church of Springfield|church]], where [[Dewey Largo]] proposes reaching out to [[Constance Clavinger]], creator of the beloved children's book [[The Plucky Little Goat]], who has agreed to come to the book fair to read the sequel to her book, [[The Further Adventures of The Plucky Little Goat]]. During the preparations for the book fair, [[Helen Lovejoy]] throws a fit over books that have words hinting at the seven deadly sins. Marge is called in to rescue the fair and has to find a substitute to pick up Constance, so she gets [[Homer]] focused enough to go pick her up at the [[Springfield International Airport]].<br />
<br />
He manages to arrive in time, but Constance says she has to freshen up. Time passes, and Homer notices her at The Pilot's Room, drunk. On the way home, she keeps vomiting, and they stop at a boutique, [[Imperfect Kingdom]], to purchase a new outfit, but they get arrested after she shoplifts. With the help of [[Snake Jailbird|Snake]], they sneak out, but Snake steals Homer's car, where the book is.<br />
<br />
Homer and Constance manage to grab [[Hans Moleman]]'s car and follow the tracker in the car to reach where Snake took it. Homer saves the book (and a sandwich) from being crashed, only to discover the sequel's plot, in which the goat is fed into a sausage grinder. She created it out of spite for people hounding her and because her husband has a tattoo of the book on his butt cheeks. Homer refuses to take her to the book fair, but she convinces [[Arnie Pye]] to take her there in his [[Channel 6 helicopter|helicopter]].<br />
<br />
Homer follows them in Hans' car, causing accidents to slow Arnie down, but Constance throws herself out of it, failing to activate her "[[Mary Poppins]] powers", and tumbles down the side of the road. Homer tries to follow her but tumbles the car down the road. Upon exiting, he has a concussion and starts seeing the world like a fantasy book while following her on foot.<br />
<br />
She manages to arrive at the fair, and Homer tries to stop her, remembering reading her book to his children, but she doesn't yield until she sees him with the family and decides to tell the story of what happened that day between her (as the goat) and Homer (as a hippopotamus). In the end, Homer gets a tattoo of the goat on his butt while Constance gets one of the hippopotamus.<br />
