=== "Oh The Places You’ll D’oh" ===<br />
*"The Fat in the Hat" is a parody of ''{{w|The Cat in the Hat}}'' by {{w|Dr. Seuss}}. The segment's title "Oh the Places You'll D'Oh" is a parody of Dr. Seuss's book ''{{w|Oh, the Places You'll Go!}}''. The names, rhyming and anapestic (short-long-short) meter in this segment are true to that of Dr. Seuss's writing.<br />
<br />
=== "Dead and Shoulders" ===<br />
*The title of the second segment, "Dead and Shoulders" is a reference to the shampoo brand {{w|Head & Shoulders}}.<br />
*The second segment is similar to the ''[[Futurama]]'' {{IS|Season 2}} episode, "{{IS|Put Your Head on My Shoulders}}", when [[Philip J. Fry]] is beheaded during a flying car accident in Mercury, and his head is attached to {{IS|Amy Wong}}'s body. It is also similar to the ending of the segment "Homer's Nightmare" in "[[Treehouse of Horror II]]" where [[Mr. Burns]]' head ends up attached to [[Homer]]'s body. It also is a reference to such science fiction movies as the 1971 film ''{{w|The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant}}'' and the 1972 film ''{{w|The Thing with Two Heads}}''.<br />
<br />
=== "Freaks no Geeks" ===<br />
*The title of the third vignette, "Freaks No Geeks" is a pun of the title of the TV series ''{{w|Freaks and Geeks}}''. In addition, {{w|Geek show|geek}} is the term for a sideshow performer of repulsive acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.<br />
*The plot and characters of "Freaks No Geeks" are parodies of ''{{w|Freaks}}'', a 1932 {{w|Motion Picture Production Code|Pre-Code}} horror film about sideshow performers. [[Barney Gumble]] is a parody of the human torso from that movie. The chorus of "one of us, one of us" comes directly from that movie.<br />
*In the end of the episode Homer says to his kids: "And that, kids, is how I met your mother" which is a reference to the TV show ''{{W|How I Met Your Mother}}''. The theme tune for the show then plays after he says it.<br />

<div>{{Realworld}}<br />
[[File:World of Springfield Series 4.jpg|thumb|250px|An assortment of World of Springfield action figures.]]<br />
The '''World of Springfield''' is a series of action figures, which ran between December [[1999]] to December [[2004]] and was released by [[Playmates Toys]].<br />
<br />
The toy action figure series was called World of Springfield because the goal of the line was to build a miniature [[Springfield]] through a series of interactive action figures and playsets. It eventually encompassed over 200 different figures/characters from the series, 40 interactive playsets (toy re-creations of Simpson's interior settings and town location settings within Springfield), and 3 non-interactive diorama town settings.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
The success of all "mass-market" action figure lines based on TV or movie characters are timed to the initial release of the project - as part of its promotional and marketing messages - taking advantage of the promotions, P.R. and advertising awareness and the figures themselves also as advertising and promotional vehicles. Most movie/TV tie-in action figures are successful for the brief period of the theatrical release, the video/DVD release and the possibility of a successful sequel but rarely for any longer period and typically, the release pattern for the action figure is no more than a few dozen figures, and some playsets to serve as background dioramas for the figures - with sales dropping off a few months after the last film is released. The Kenner/Hasbro ''[[Star Wars]]'' movie line is of course, the gold standard with figures in the same scale and in the marketplace since 1978. The closest TV equivalent might be the ''Star Trek'' line, though non-contiguous and not technically from one TV series (coincidentally also from Playmates Toys).<br />
<br />
While ''[[The Simpsons]]'' merchandising and licensing had continued unabated since the first season of the TV series in [[1989]], the characters represented as action figures only had a brief [[The Simpsons Mattel action-figures|Mattel run in 1990]], with only 7 figures, 3 exclusive figures and 1 Simpsons Living Room representation playset.<br />
<br />
== Why was the line successful? ==<br />
Of course, it starts with the mass market appeal of ''The Simpsons'' - encompassing everyone from young kids who loved the slapstick aspects to adults of all ages who appreciated that the jokes and situations that worked on multi-levels of our intellect (from the kid in us to the Mensa in us). Like any classic TV series, fans remember and quote the lines - and Playmates Toys managed to capture that appeal with its interactive playsets. Each figure came with its own "coded" chip on the base of that characters foot (generally foot but not always) that when contacted with the "trigger" tab on each playset would (complete the circuit) so by then pressing the button closest to that figure, you would hear a playback of 1-5 phrases for the character.<br />
<br />
What made it unique was that the playback was from the actual show and the actual voice actor - so placing the [[Homer Simpson]] figure on an appropriate playset would trigger the playback of a quote performed by [[Dan Castellaneta]] as he performed it in the original episode.<br />
<br />
Of additional value was that each playset held quotes and voice clip performances for a variety of characters so that placing the [[Marge Simpson]] figure or the [[Bart]] figure would trigger different quotes and voice clips. One limitation was that not every character worked with every playset - some for story logic reasons (character might not appear at that setting), release logistics (figures released after a playset was available much earlier) or presumably for cost reasons (as each voice clip had to be approved and licensed).<br />
<br />
A real-world situation also cannot be over-looked - that these were released during the era of the internet/dot.com boom and general health of the U.S. economy. While the figures were priced at the lower end of action figure retail pricing (from $5.99 USD to eventually $7.99 USD each), the playsets generally ranged from $20 USD to $25 USD at the end of [[2004]] but there were special releases that ranged into the $60 USD range. Even at minimal retail, 200+ figures and 40 playsets meant a financial commitment. In addition, there were a dozen exclusives and mail-in figures that required extra work to obtain the figures - often via an online auction. It was however, during these early years of the series coinciding with the healthy economy that added extra impetus and momentum that carried the line a few extra years.<br />
<br />
== Fan interaction ==<br />
The World of Springfield line set a new standard of company/fan interaction in its relationship between Playmates Toys and the collectors, specifically based at the [[Simpsons Collector Sector]] (SCS) website and forums. Starting in mid-[[2001]], with contacts from board moderator Michael Crawford, Playmates executives (first Jeff Trojan and later Pat Linden) reached out to the collectors in a mutually beneficial relationship—fans got input into the line; the company got free market research. Playmates Toys answered a monthly Q&A from collectors, and regularly gave exclusive details about upcoming products to the SCS website directly. Collectors had opportunities to affect the line's future on a few occasions.<br />
<br />
The first incident occurred in summer [[2001]] after a controversy surrounding the release of a ToyFare mail-away figure, Pin Pal [[Burns]]. Fans complained about the unfair way ToyFare handled these offers and Playmates responded, first by having ToyFare make later offers available online and later by ending WoS offers from ToyFare entirely. Conversely, fan enthusiasm helped revive products that had been cancelled at one point, including the deluxe [[Main Street]] playset and the [[Moe's Tavern]] playset. <br />
<br />
Collectors were also asked often to give suggestions on what figures and playsets they wanted to see; polls were generated. The results of these polls had an impact on future lineups, with collectors getting many of the figures they had requested.<br />
<br />
This interaction hit a peak in 2003 when the Simpsons Collector Sector hosted a panel discussion at the [http://www.simpsonscollectors.com/zine.asp?issue=11 San Diego Comic Con] that July. A representative from Playmates Toys was the featured guest and engaged in Q&A with attendees and handed out free figures to all as well.<br />
<br />
Fans continued to have a voice through the end of the line, although larger issues—voice contracts, licensor disagreements—sometimes prevented collectors from getting everything they wanted from the line. This model of interaction has been followed by many other toy companies since.<br />
<br />
== End and revival ==<br />
The line ended in mid-2004 due to a number of factors, most importantly slow sales. There were a number of factors, in turn, that contributed to the declining sales, including: "collectors fatigue"; the release pattern of figures; the sheer size of the line was difficult for newcomers; the slowing economy; the changing toy retail situation; and even Playmates Toys relationship with [[20th Century Fox]].<br />
<br />
However, not long after, [[McFarlane Toys]] - known for their sports line of action figures - decided to revive ''Simpsons'' collecting and start a new line of figures. The first set to be released was the "Ironic Punishment" set from the episode "[[Treehouse of Horror IV]]". It features Homer being "tortured" by one of the devils minions, by forcing all the donuts in the world down his throat. It was soon followed by a "Family Couch Gag" set, from the beginning of each episode. <br />

== Vehicles ==<br />
Technically not part of World of Springfield (though there is a debate among the fans), these vehicles were made by Playmates Toys in June 2001, and later, August 2002, and are sometimes considered part of the line by fans. The vehicles weren't actually able to hold any figures from the line, but they could however speak by moving the small characters to the right or the left or by pressing the car's hood (this would create a conversation between the characters rather than just one character talking). Upon doing so, each character would have special lines taken from episodes from the series, much like the figures. <br />
<br />
*Family Car w/ Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie/'''Release date:''' ''June 2001''<br />
*School Bus w/ Martin, Milhouse, Ralph, Bart, and Otto/'''Release date:''' ''August 2002''<br />
<br />
== KayBee Toys exclusive ==<br />
Again, technically not considered part of the World of Springfield line (though there is debate about that among collectors), Playmates Toys released in August 2002 a series of figures exclusive to KayBee Toys based on the ''When Bongos Collide'' storyline from [[Bongo Comics]]. It featured ''Simpsons'' characters transformed into superheroes. The initial three-pack of figures included Homer Simpson as the [[Indigestible Bulk]], Apu as [[Captain Kwik]], and Ms. Krabappel as [[Vampiredna]]. Two more three-packs were planned (featuring Marge as the [[Entangler]], Lisa as the [[Jazzler]], Maggie as [[Brainbaby]], Grampa as [[Oldblood member Coda]], and Skinner as [[The Stickler]], and Willie as the [[Plaid Piper]]), but the line was cancelled as soon as it hit retail.<br />
<br />
== Cancelled items ==<br />
As in most toy lines, items are planned for release that for a number of reasons (cost issues, low retailer interest) never end up being produced and/or released. Many items were cancelled from the World of Springfield line, a complete list is available in the [http://www.simpsonscollectors.com/releases.asp?frame=cancel Simpsons Collector Sector's Release Guide].<br />

*[[Malloy]] - ''Originally part of Series 12, but was replaced by Number One.''<br />

<br />
=== Playsets ===<br />
*Flanders' Rumpus Room w/ Maude Flanders - ''Was originally going to be the playset for the Wave 18 line, but was cancelled when the World of Springfield line ended.''<br />

[[File:World of Springfield Series 4.jpg|thumb|250px|An assortment of World of Springfield action figures.]]<br />
The '''World of Springfield''' is a series of action figures, which ran between December [[1999]] to December [[2004]] and was released by [[Playmates Toys]].<br />
<br />
The toy action figure series was called World of Springfield because the goal of the line was to build a miniature [[Springfield]] through a series of interactive action figures and playsets. It eventually encompassed over 200 different figures/characters from the series, 40 interactive playsets (toy re-creations of Simpson's interior settings and town location settings within Springfield), and 3 non-interactive diorama town settings.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
The success of all "mass-market" action figure lines based on TV or movie characters are timed to the initial release of the project - as part of its promotional and marketing messages - taking advantage of the promotions, P.R. and advertising awareness and the figures themselves also as advertising and promotional vehicles. Most movie/TV tie-in action figures are successful for the brief period of the theatrical release, the video/DVD release and the possibility of a successful sequel but rarely for any longer period and typically, the release pattern for the action figure is no more than a few dozen figures, and some playsets to serve as background dioramas for the figures - with sales dropping off a few months after the last film is released. The Kenner/Hasbro ''[[Star Wars]]'' movie line is of course, the gold standard with figures in the same scale and in the marketplace since 1978. The closest TV equivalent might be the ''Star Trek'' line, though non-contiguous and not technically from one TV series (coincidentally also from Playmates Toys).<br />
<br />
While ''[[The Simpsons]]'' merchandising and licensing had continued unabated since the first season of the TV series in [[1989]], the characters represented as action figures only had a brief [[The Simpsons Mattel action-figures|Mattel run in 1990]], with only 7 figures, 3 exclusive figures and 1 Simpsons Living Room representation playset.<br />
<br />
== Why was the line successful? ==<br />
Of course, it starts with the mass market appeal of ''The Simpsons'' - encompassing everyone from young kids who loved the slapstick aspects to adults of all ages who appreciated that the jokes and situations that worked on multi-levels of our intellect (from the kid in us to the Mensa in us). Like any classic TV series, fans remember and quote the lines - and Playmates Toys managed to capture that appeal with its interactive playsets. Each figure came with its own "coded" chip on the base of that characters foot (generally foot but not always) that when contacted with the "trigger" tab on each playset would (complete the circuit) so by then pressing the button closest to that figure, you would hear a playback of 1-5 phrases for the character.<br />
<br />
What made it unique was that the playback was from the actual show and the actual voice actor - so placing the [[Homer Simpson]] figure on an appropriate playset would trigger the playback of a quote performed by [[Dan Castellaneta]] as he performed it in the original episode.<br />
<br />
Of additional value was that each playset held quotes and voice clip performances for a variety of characters so that placing the [[Marge Simpson]] figure or the [[Bart]] figure would trigger different quotes and voice clips. One limitation was that not every character worked with every playset - some for story logic reasons (character might not appear at that setting), release logistics (figures released after a playset was available much earlier) or presumably for cost reasons (as each voice clip had to be approved and licensed).<br />
<br />
A real-world situation also cannot be over-looked - that these were released during the era of the internet/dot.com boom and general health of the U.S. economy. While the figures were priced at the lower end of action figure retail pricing (from $5.99 USD to eventually $7.99 USD each), the playsets generally ranged from $20 USD to $25 USD at the end of [[2004]] but there were special releases that ranged into the $60 USD range. Even at minimal retail, 200+ figures and 40 playsets meant a financial commitment. In addition, there were a dozen exclusives and mail-in figures that required extra work to obtain the figures - often via an online auction. It was however, during these early years of the series coinciding with the healthy economy that added extra impetus and momentum that carried the line a few extra years.<br />
<br />
== Fan interaction ==<br />
The World of Springfield line set a new standard of company/fan interaction in its relationship between Playmates Toys and the collectors, specifically based at the [[Simpsons Collector Sector]] (SCS) website and forums. Starting in mid-[[2001]], with contacts from board moderator Michael Crawford, Playmates executives (first Jeff Trojan and later Pat Linden) reached out to the collectors in a mutually beneficial relationship—fans got input into the line; the company got free market research. Playmates Toys answered a monthly Q&A from collectors, and regularly gave exclusive details about upcoming products to the SCS website directly. Collectors had opportunities to affect the line's future on a few occasions.<br />
<br />
The first incident occurred in summer [[2001]] after a controversy surrounding the release of a ToyFare mail-away figure, Pin Pal [[Burns]]. Fans complained about the unfair way ToyFare handled these offers and Playmates responded, first by having ToyFare make later offers available online and later by ending WoS offers from ToyFare entirely. Conversely, fan enthusiasm helped revive products that had been cancelled at one point, including the deluxe [[Main Street]] playset and the [[Moe's Tavern]] playset. <br />
<br />
Collectors were also asked often to give suggestions on what figures and playsets they wanted to see; polls were generated. The results of these polls had an impact on future lineups, with collectors getting many of the figures they had requested.<br />
<br />
This interaction hit a peak in 2003 when the Simpsons Collector Sector hosted a panel discussion at the [http://www.simpsonscollectors.com/zine.asp?issue=11 San Diego Comic Con] that July. A representative from Playmates Toys was the featured guest and engaged in Q&A with attendees and handed out free figures to all as well.<br />
<br />
Fans continued to have a voice through the end of the line, although larger issues—voice contracts, licensor disagreements—sometimes prevented collectors from getting everything they wanted from the line. This model of interaction has been followed by many other toy companies since.<br />
<br />
== End and revival ==<br />
The line ended in mid-2004 due to a number of factors, most importantly slow sales. There were a number of factors, in turn, that contributed to the declining sales, including: "collectors fatigue"; the release pattern of figures; the sheer size of the line was difficult for newcomers; the slowing economy; the changing toy retail situation; and even Playmates Toys relationship with [[20th Century Fox]].<br />
<br />
However, not long after, [[McFarlane Toys]] - known for their sports line of action figures - decided to revive ''Simpsons'' collecting and start a new line of figures. The first set to be released was the "Ironic Punishment" set from the episode "[[Treehouse of Horror IV]]". It features Homer being "tortured" by one of the devils minions, by forcing all the donuts in the world down his throat. It was soon followed by a "Family Couch Gag" set, from the beginning of each episode. <br />

== Vehicles ==<br />
Technically not part of World of Springfield (though there is a debate among the fans), these vehicles were made by Playmates Toys in June 2001, and later, August 2002, and are sometimes considered part of the line by fans. The vehicles weren't actually able to hold any figures from the line, but they could however speak by moving the small characters to the right or the left or by pressing the car's hood (this would create a conversation between the characters rather than just one character talking). Upon doing so, each character would have special lines taken from episodes from the series, much like the figures. <br />
<br />
*Family Car w/ Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie/'''Release date:''' ''June 2001''<br />
*School Bus w/ Martin, Milhouse, Ralph, Bart, and Otto/'''Release date:''' ''August 2002''<br />
<br />
== KayBee Toys exclusive ==<br />
Again, technically not considered part of the World of Springfield line (though there is debate about that among collectors), Playmates Toys released in August 2002 a series of figures exclusive to KayBee Toys based on the ''When Bongos Collide'' storyline from [[Bongo Comics]]. It featured ''Simpsons'' characters transformed into superheroes. The initial three-pack of figures included Homer Simpson as the [[Indigestible Bulk]], Apu as [[Captain Kwik]], and Ms. Krabappel as [[Vampiredna]]. Two more three-packs were planned (featuring Marge as the [[Entangler]], Lisa as the [[Jazzler]], Maggie as [[Brainbaby]], Grampa as [[Oldblood member Coda]], and Skinner as [[The Stickler]], and Willie as the [[Plaid Piper]]), but the line was cancelled as soon as it hit retail.<br />

[[File:World of Springfield Series 4.jpg|thumb|250px|An assortment of World of Springfield action figures.]]<br />
The '''World of Springfield''' is a series of action figures, which ran between December [[1999]] to December [[2004]] and was released by [[Playmates Toys]].<br />
<br />
The toy action figure series was called World of Springfield because the goal of the line was to build a miniature [[Springfield]] through a series of interactive action figures and playsets. It eventually encompassed over 200 different figures/characters from the series, 40 interactive playsets (toy re-creations of Simpson's interior settings and town location settings within Springfield), and 3 non-interactive diorama town settings.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
The success of all "mass-market" action figure lines based on TV or movie characters are timed to the initial release of the project - as part of its promotional and marketing messages - taking advantage of the promotions, P.R. and advertising awareness and the figures themselves also as advertising and promotional vehicles. Most movie/TV tie-in action figures are successful for the brief period of the theatrical release, the video/DVD release and the possibility of a successful sequel but rarely for any longer period and typically, the release pattern for the action figure is no more than a few dozen figures, and some playsets to serve as background dioramas for the figures - with sales dropping off a few months after the last film is released. The Kenner/Hasbro ''[[Star Wars]]'' movie line is of course, the gold standard with figures in the same scale and in the marketplace since 1978. The closest TV equivalent might be the ''Star Trek'' line, though non-contiguous and not technically from one TV series (coincidentally also from Playmates Toys).<br />
<br />
While ''[[The Simpsons]]'' merchandising and licensing had continued unabated since the first season of the TV series in [[1989]], the characters represented as action figures only had a brief [[The Simpsons Mattel action-figures|Mattel run in 1990]], with only 7 figures, 3 exclusive figures and 1 Simpsons Living Room representation playset.<br />
<br />
== Why was the line successful? ==<br />
Of course, it starts with the mass market appeal of ''The Simpsons'' - encompassing everyone from young kids who loved the slapstick aspects to adults of all ages who appreciated that the jokes and situations that worked on multi-levels of our intellect (from the kid in us to the Mensa in us). Like any classic TV series, fans remember and quote the lines - and Playmates Toys managed to capture that appeal with its interactive playsets. Each figure came with its own "coded" chip on the base of that characters foot (generally foot but not always) that when contacted with the "trigger" tab on each playset would (complete the circuit) so by then pressing the button closest to that figure, you would hear a playback of 1-5 phrases for the character.<br />
<br />
What made it unique was that the playback was from the actual show and the actual voice actor - so placing the [[Homer Simpson]] figure on an appropriate playset would trigger the playback of a quote performed by [[Dan Castellaneta]] as he performed it in the original episode.<br />
<br />
Of additional value was that each playset held quotes and voice clip performances for a variety of characters so that placing the [[Marge Simpson]] figure or the [[Bart]] figure would trigger different quotes and voice clips. One limitation was that not every character worked with every playset - some for story logic reasons (character might not appear at that setting), release logistics (figures released after a playset was available much earlier) or presumably for cost reasons (as each voice clip had to be approved and licensed).<br />
<br />
A real-world situation also cannot be over-looked - that these were released during the era of the internet/dot.com boom and general health of the U.S. economy. While the figures were priced at the lower end of action figure retail pricing (from $5.99 USD to eventually $7.99 USD each), the playsets generally ranged from $20 USD to $25 USD at the end of [[2004]] but there were special releases that ranged into the $60 USD range. Even at minimal retail, 200+ figures and 40 playsets meant a financial commitment. In addition, there were a dozen exclusives and mail-in figures that required extra work to obtain the figures - often via an online auction. It was however, during these early years of the series coinciding with the healthy economy that added extra impetus and momentum that carried the line a few extra years.<br />
<br />
== Fan interaction ==<br />
The World of Springfield line set a new standard of company/fan interaction in its relationship between Playmates Toys and the collectors, specifically based at the [[Simpsons Collector Sector]] (SCS) website and forums. Starting in mid-[[2001]], with contacts from board moderator Michael Crawford, Playmates executives (first Jeff Trojan and later Pat Linden) reached out to the collectors in a mutually beneficial relationship—fans got input into the line; the company got free market research. Playmates Toys answered a monthly Q&A from collectors, and regularly gave exclusive details about upcoming products to the SCS website directly. Collectors had opportunities to affect the line's future on a few occasions.<br />
<br />
The first incident occurred in summer [[2001]] after a controversy surrounding the release of a ToyFare mail-away figure, Pin Pal [[Burns]]. Fans complained about the unfair way ToyFare handled these offers and Playmates responded, first by having ToyFare make later offers available online and later by ending WoS offers from ToyFare entirely. Conversely, fan enthusiasm helped revive products that had been cancelled at one point, including the deluxe [[Main Street]] playset and the [[Moe's Tavern]] playset. <br />
<br />
Collectors were also asked often to give suggestions on what figures and playsets they wanted to see; polls were generated. The results of these polls had an impact on future lineups, with collectors getting many of the figures they had requested.<br />
<br />
This interaction hit a peak in 2003 when the Simpsons Collector Sector hosted a panel discussion at the [http://www.simpsonscollectors.com/zine.asp?issue=11 San Diego Comic Con] that July. A representative from Playmates Toys was the featured guest and engaged in Q&A with attendees and handed out free figures to all as well.<br />
<br />
Fans continued to have a voice through the end of the line, although larger issues—voice contracts, licensor disagreements—sometimes prevented collectors from getting everything they wanted from the line. This model of interaction has been followed by many other toy companies since.<br />
<br />
== End and revival ==<br />
The line ended in mid-2004 due to a number of factors, most importantly slow sales. There were a number of factors, in turn, that contributed to the declining sales, including: "collectors fatigue"; the release pattern of figures; the sheer size of the line was difficult for newcomers; the slowing economy; the changing toy retail situation; and even Playmates Toys relationship with [[20th Century Fox]].<br />
<br />
However, not long after, [[McFarlane Toys]] - known for their sports line of action figures - decided to revive ''Simpsons'' collecting and start a new line of figures. The first set to be released was the "Ironic Punishment" set from the episode "[[Treehouse of Horror IV]]". It features Homer being "tortured" by one of the devils minions, by forcing all the donuts in the world down his throat. It was soon followed by a "Family Couch Gag" set, from the beginning of each episode. <br />

== Vehicles ==<br />
Technically not part of World of Springfield (though there is a debate among the fans), these vehicles were made by Playmates Toys in June 2001, and later, August 2002, and are sometimes considered part of the line by fans. The vehicles weren't actually able to hold any figures from the line, but they could however speak by moving the small characters to the right or the left or by pressing the car's hood (this would create a conversation between the characters rather than just one character talking). Upon doing so, each character would have special lines taken from episodes from the series, much like the figures. <br />
<br />
*Family Car w/ Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie/'''Release date:''' ''June 2001''<br />
*School Bus w/ Martin, Milhouse, Ralph, Bart, and Otto/'''Release date:''' ''August 2002''<br />
<br />
== KayBee Toys exclusive ==<br />
Again, technically not considered part of the World of Springfield line (though there is debate about that among collectors), Playmates Toys released in August 2002 a series of figures exclusive to KayBee Toys based on the ''When Bongos Collide'' storyline from [[Bongo Comics]]. It featured ''Simpsons'' characters transformed into superheroes. The initial three-pack of figures included Homer Simpson as the [[Indigestible Bulk]], Apu as [[Captain Kwik]], and Ms. Krabappel as [[Vampiredna]]. Two more three-packs were planned (featuring Marge as the [[Entangler]], Lisa as the [[Jazzler]], Maggie as [[Brainbaby]], Grampa as [[Oldblood member Coda]], and Skinner as [[The Stickler]], and Willie as the [[Plaid Piper]]), but the line was cancelled as soon as it hit retail.<br />
<br />
== Cancelled items ==<br />
As in most toy lines, items are planned for release that for a number of reasons (cost issues, low retailer interest) never end up being produced and/or released. Many items were cancelled from the World of Springfield line, a complete list is available in the [http://www.simpsonscollectors.com/releases.asp?frame=cancel Simpsons Collector Sector's Release Guide].<br />

[[File:World of Springfield Series 4.jpg|thumb|250px|An assortment of World of Springfield action figures.]]<br />
The '''World of Springfield''' is a series of action figures, which ran between December [[1999]] to December [[2004]] and was released by [[Playmates Toys]].<br />
<br />
The toy action figure series was called World of Springfield because the goal of the line was to build a miniature [[Springfield]] through a series of interactive action figures and playsets. It eventually encompassed over 200 different figures/characters from the series, 40 interactive playsets (toy re-creations of Simpson's interior settings and town location settings within Springfield), and 3 non-interactive diorama town settings.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
The success of all "mass-market" action figure lines based on TV or movie characters are timed to the initial release of the project - as part of its promotional and marketing messages - taking advantage of the promotions, P.R. and advertising awareness and the figures themselves also as advertising and promotional vehicles. Most movie/TV tie-in action figures are successful for the brief period of the theatrical release, the video/DVD release and the possibility of a successful sequel but rarely for any longer period and typically, the release pattern for the action figure is no more than a few dozen figures, and some playsets to serve as background dioramas for the figures - with sales dropping off a few months after the last film is released. The Kenner/Hasbro ''[[Star Wars]]'' movie line is of course, the gold standard with figures in the same scale and in the marketplace since 1978. The closest TV equivalent might be the ''Star Trek'' line, though non-contiguous and not technically from one TV series (coincidentally also from Playmates Toys).<br />
<br />
While ''[[The Simpsons]]'' merchandising and licensing had continued unabated since the first season of the TV series in [[1989]], the characters represented as action figures only had a brief [[The Simpsons Mattel action-figures|Mattel run in 1990]], with only 7 figures, 3 exclusive figures and 1 Simpsons Living Room representation playset.<br />
<br />
== Why was the line successful? ==<br />
Of course, it starts with the mass market appeal of ''The Simpsons'' - encompassing everyone from young kids who loved the slapstick aspects to adults of all ages who appreciated that the jokes and situations that worked on multi-levels of our intellect (from the kid in us to the Mensa in us). Like any classic TV series, fans remember and quote the lines - and Playmates Toys managed to capture that appeal with its interactive playsets. Each figure came with its own "coded" chip on the base of that characters foot (generally foot but not always) that when contacted with the "trigger" tab on each playset would (complete the circuit) so by then pressing the button closest to that figure, you would hear a playback of 1-5 phrases for the character.<br />
<br />
What made it unique was that the playback was from the actual show and the actual voice actor - so placing the [[Homer Simpson]] figure on an appropriate playset would trigger the playback of a quote performed by [[Dan Castellaneta]] as he performed it in the original episode.<br />
<br />
Of additional value was that each playset held quotes and voice clip performances for a variety of characters so that placing the [[Marge Simpson]] figure or the [[Bart]] figure would trigger different quotes and voice clips. One limitation was that not every character worked with every playset - some for story logic reasons (character might not appear at that setting), release logistics (figures released after a playset was available much earlier) or presumably for cost reasons (as each voice clip had to be approved and licensed).<br />
<br />
A real-world situation also cannot be over-looked - that these were released during the era of the internet/dot.com boom and general health of the U.S. economy. While the figures were priced at the lower end of action figure retail pricing (from $5.99 USD to eventually $7.99 USD each), the playsets generally ranged from $20 USD to $25 USD at the end of [[2004]] but there were special releases that ranged into the $60 USD range. Even at minimal retail, 200+ figures and 40 playsets meant a financial commitment. In addition, there were a dozen exclusives and mail-in figures that required extra work to obtain the figures - often via an online auction. It was however, during these early years of the series coinciding with the healthy economy that added extra impetus and momentum that carried the line a few extra years.<br />
<br />
== Fan interaction ==<br />
The World of Springfield line set a new standard of company/fan interaction in its relationship between Playmates Toys and the collectors, specifically based at the [[Simpsons Collector Sector]] (SCS) website and forums. Starting in mid-[[2001]], with contacts from board moderator Michael Crawford, Playmates executives (first Jeff Trojan and later Pat Linden) reached out to the collectors in a mutually beneficial relationship—fans got input into the line; the company got free market research. Playmates Toys answered a monthly Q&A from collectors, and regularly gave exclusive details about upcoming products to the SCS website directly. Collectors had opportunities to affect the line's future on a few occasions.<br />
<br />
The first incident occurred in summer [[2001]] after a controversy surrounding the release of a ToyFare mail-away figure, Pin Pal [[Burns]]. Fans complained about the unfair way ToyFare handled these offers and Playmates responded, first by having ToyFare make later offers available online and later by ending WoS offers from ToyFare entirely. Conversely, fan enthusiasm helped revive products that had been cancelled at one point, including the deluxe [[Main Street]] playset and the [[Moe's Tavern]] playset. <br />
<br />
Collectors were also asked often to give suggestions on what figures and playsets they wanted to see; polls were generated. The results of these polls had an impact on future lineups, with collectors getting many of the figures they had requested.<br />
<br />
This interaction hit a peak in 2003 when the Simpsons Collector Sector hosted a panel discussion at the [http://www.simpsonscollectors.com/zine.asp?issue=11 San Diego Comic Con] that July. A representative from Playmates Toys was the featured guest and engaged in Q&A with attendees and handed out free figures to all as well.<br />
<br />
Fans continued to have a voice through the end of the line, although larger issues—voice contracts, licensor disagreements—sometimes prevented collectors from getting everything they wanted from the line. This model of interaction has been followed by many other toy companies since.<br />
<br />
== End and revival ==<br />
The line ended in mid-2004 due to a number of factors, most importantly slow sales. There were a number of factors, in turn, that contributed to the declining sales, including: "collectors fatigue"; the release pattern of figures; the sheer size of the line was difficult for newcomers; the slowing economy; the changing toy retail situation; and even Playmates Toys relationship with [[20th Century Fox]].<br />
<br />
However, not long after, [[McFarlane Toys]] - known for their sports line of action figures - decided to revive ''Simpsons'' collecting and start a new line of figures. The first set to be released was the "Ironic Punishment" set from the episode "[[Treehouse of Horror IV]]". It features Homer being "tortured" by one of the devils minions, by forcing all the donuts in the world down his throat. It was soon followed by a "Family Couch Gag" set, from the beginning of each episode. <br />

== Vehicles ==<br />
Technically not part of World of Springfield (though there is a debate among the fans), these vehicles were made by Playmates Toys in June 2001, and later, August 2002, and are sometimes considered part of the line by fans. The vehicles weren't actually able to hold any figures from the line, but they could however speak by moving the small characters to the right or the left or by pressing the car's hood (this would create a conversation between the characters rather than just one character talking). Upon doing so, each character would have special lines taken from episodes from the series, much like the figures. <br />
<br />
*Family Car w/ Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie/'''Release date:''' ''June 2001''<br />
*School Bus w/ Martin, Milhouse, Ralph, Bart, and Otto/'''Release date:''' ''August 2002''<br />
<br />
== KayBee Toys exclusive ==<br />
Again, technically not considered part of the World of Springfield line (though there is debate about that among collectors), Playmates Toys released in August 2002 a series of figures exclusive to KayBee Toys based on the ''When Bongos Collide'' storyline from [[Bongo Comics]]. It featured ''Simpsons'' characters transformed into superheroes. The initial three-pack of figures included Homer Simpson as the [[Indigestible Bulk]], Apu as [[Captain Kwik]], and Ms. Krabappel as [[Vampiredna]]. Two more three-packs were planned (featuring Marge as the [[Entangler]], Lisa as the [[Jazzler]], Maggie as [[Brainbaby]], Grampa as [[Oldblood member Coda]], and Skinner as [[The Stickler]], and Willie as the [[Plaid Piper]]), but the line was cancelled as soon as it hit retail.<br />
<br />
== Cancelled items ==<br />
As in most toy lines, items are planned for release that for a number of reasons (cost issues, low retailer interest) never end up being produced and/or released. Many items were cancelled from the World of Springfield line, a complete list is available in the [http://www.simpsonscollectors.com/releases.asp?frame=cancel Simpsons Collector Sector's Release Guide].<br />

'''Gump Roast''' is the seventeenth episode of [[season 13]]. It originally aired on April 21, [[2002]]. The episode was written by [[Deb Lacusta]] and [[Dan Castellaneta]] and directed by [[Mark Kirkland]].<br />
<br />
== Synopsis ==<br />
The Springfield Friars Club roasts [[Homer]], with help from clips from past episodes..."but don't call it a clip show".<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
A feather floats down from the sky and lands in [[Springfield]] town square next to Homer’s feet. Much like {{W|Forrest Gump (character)|Forrest Gump}}, Homer is dressed in a white suit, sitting rigidly on a bench with a box of chocolates in his lap. [[Chief Wiggum]] tells Homer about a law preventing citizens from impersonating movie characters. Homer then begins to tell Wiggum his life story. In flashback, Homer chases a young boy with leg braces, but Homer quickly runs out of breath and stops. Back in the present day, Homer recounts some of his other memories, including those involving [[Marge]], and later, the family car. Afterward, Marge and the kids pick up Homer, blindfold him, and drive to an undisclosed location. When the blindfold is removed, Homer finds himself in a banquet hall filled with people from throughout Springfield, most clad in tuxedos.[[Krusty the Clown]] then announces that Homer is at the [[Springfield Friars Club]] ... and Homer is about to be roasted.<br />
<br />
As the roast gets underway, [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] recount how they’ve had fun over the years, leading to a variety of clips from episodes past. [[Mr. Burns]] then takes the stage and denounces Homer as an incompetent bumbler, leading to clips of Homer's various mishaps at the nuclear power plant. Next, [[Grampa]] and [[Agnes Skinner|Mrs. Skinner]] take the podium, leading to more clips from other episodes. An inebriated Homer then stands up and addresses the crowd. Soon after, he passes out, his pants down, revealing his backside.<br />
<br />
[[Reverend Lovejoy]], holding an acoustic guitar, and [[Ned Flanders]], holding an upright bass, step up to the podium. In a routine similar to the comedy of The [[Smothers Brothers]], the pair begin strumming and plucking…until Flanders objects to the altered lyrics Lovejoy uses for the song "If I Had a Hammer". Moments later, aliens [[Kang]] and [[Kodos]] appear, dressed in tuxedos and armed with ray guns. They announce that all of humanity is about to be judged ... and the fate of the world rests on Homer Simpson. The aliens probe Homer’s mind, leading to more clips from past episodes. Afterward, Kang and Kodos describe the human race as brutish and primitive. But before Earth can be destroyed, Lisa tells them about [[Maggie]], certain that the innocent soul of a child will redeem mankind. The aliens probe Maggie’s mind and are reduced to tears, but they then reveal that the liquid leaking from their eyes is vomit, produced by Maggie’s treacly memories. But as the baby continues to reminisce, images of many celebrities appear. (Many of the celebrities Maggie remembers are ironic since she wasn't even there.) Kang and Kodos are impressed. The aliens agree to spare Earth—under one condition. Later, they happily appear at the People’s Choice Awards, where they hobnob with celebrities in evening attire.<br />

'''Moe's Tavern''', once known as '''Moe's Bar'''<ref>''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref> is the local tavern in [[Springfield]]. The bar is named after its owner, [[Moe Szyslak]]. It is the only known tavern in Springfield (maybe because, like Krusty and Krusty Burger, Moe pays Fat Tony money to make sure that there is no competition), though there is a [[Joe's Tavern]] in Shelbyville. It is located right next to [[King Toot's Music Store|King Toot's]].<br />
<br />
== Profile ==<br />
=== Interior ===<br />
The bar was described by [[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]]'s daughter as smelling "like tinkle". The inside of the bar is dank and scant with red and green diamond windows. The bar serves Duff Beer, Henry K. Duff's Private Reserve, Tuborg; "The Beer Of Danish Kings", and Red Tick Beer, a beer flavored with dogs. It is also shown that they serve a drink to lose the memory, which Homer uses in order to forget that we was going to have a secret party.<br />
The bar may actually be an illegal speakeasy, as the bar's liquor license expired in 1973, was valid only in Rhode Island and was signed by Moe himself (although Moe had intended to get it updated to the current year, the [[Springfield's state|correct state]], and real).<ref>[[Pygmoelian]]</ref>[[File:Moe4.jpg|thumb|Inside Moe's Tavern]]<br />
<br />
His bar features a few pool tables (to which [[Barney Gumble]] once "made sweet love" and then "befouled," in that order), a dartboard, the occasional rat, a love tester machine, a bull-riding machine, a racing washing machine and dryer sold to him by [[Herb Powell]], a cigarette vending machine, and a jukebox. A jar of pickled eggs perpetually sits on the bar counter.<br />
<br />
As female customers are so rare, [[Moe Szyslak|Moe]] uses the women's restroom as an office. Moe claims that there "haven't been any ladies at Moe's since 1979"<br />
<br />
Moe's back room has often been the site of numerous illegal operations. Among these are: smuggling Pandas,<ref>"[[Cape Feare]]"</ref> Kidnapping [[Shamu]],<ref>"[[The Springfield Files]]"</ref> and running a ''Deer Hunter''-style Russian Roulette game.<br />
<br />
It is also shown that there is a back room in the bar which is apparently Moe's bedroom. It's implied in that same scene that Moe lives in the bar, saying "I bet if I didn't sell booze, they wouldn't even come here"<br />
<br />
Moe's Tavern always closes on Wednesdays, as Moe performs charity work by reading to the homeless at the same refuge where Ned Flanders serves soup.<ref>"[[Homer Loves Flanders]]"</ref><br />
<br />
=== Incarnations ===<br />
Moe's Tavern has been reinvented a few times over the years. During these times, at least, he had many more customers, including women:<br />
<br />
==== Flaming Moe's ====<br />
Flaming Moe's is the incarnation of Moe's after Moe stole [[Flaming Homer|Homer's idea for a drink]]. The bar was very popular. Celebrities, like [[Krusty the Clown]] and [[Aerosmith]], went regularly to the bar. The bar went back to its old self after Homer revealed the secret ingredient, which was cough syrup.<ref name="Flaming Moe's">"[[Flaming Moe's]]"</ref><br />
<br />
==== Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag ====<br />
{{Main|Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag}}<br />
[[File:Uncle moe's family feedbag.png|thumb|right]]<br />
Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag is a family restaurant Moe renovated from his tavern. When the Hibberts are on a day out, they stop by Moe's Tavern to get something to eat. Their disappointment with the place together with [[Julius Hibbert]]'s comment "I thought this was a family restaurant" drives Moe into changing the bar. The restaurant is popular at first with Moe giving away "Million Dollar" Birthday Fries and his guarantee that the food is free if he doesn't smile when the check comes. [[Marge]]'s first comment to the newly decorated bar is: "An alligator wearing sunglasses? Now I've seen everything." Unfortunately, when Moe, out of irritation of the stresses of running a family restaurant, says bad words in front of the children, the customers leave. The Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag commercial's song is "Come to Uncle Moe's for family fun, it's good good good good, good good good!"<ref>"[[Bart Sells His Soul]]"</ref><br />
<br />
==== Moe's Pet Shop ====<br />
Moe's Pet Shop was the incarnation the tavern became when alcohol was outlawed in Springfield. It looked like a normal tavern until Moe pulled a lever, changing it into a pet shop whenever the police came looking.<ref>"[[Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment]]"</ref><br />
<br />
==== M ====<br />
M was another incarnation of Moe's. It was transformed into a bar for younger, more hipper people. Features included a big eyeball looking around, rabbits and an oxygen bar. The bar didn't serve [[Duff Beer]], instead he served a Malaysian beer made entirely of soy sauce. In protest to this new type of bar, Homer created his own garage bar. Moe switched the bar back after he realized the customers were snobs.<ref name="Homer the Moe">"[[Homer the Moe]]"</ref><br />
<br />
==== The Nag & Weasel ====<br />
The Nag & Weasel was another incarnation of Moe's. When Homer took a mortgage on his house to save Moe's, [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] partnered up with Moe to revamp the bar as an English pub called The Nag & Weasel. The pub's sign indicated that Marge is the nag and Moe is the weasel.<ref>"[[Mommie Beerest]]"</ref><br />
<br />
==== Mo's ====<br />
[[File:Flaming Moe.png|thumb|left]] [[File:Interior of Mo's - panorama.JPEG|thumb|right]]<br />
Mo's was another incarnation of Moe's. Mo's started when [[Waylon Smithers]] wasn't allowed in [[The League of Extra-Horny Gentlemen]] and he went into Moe's and notices how slow business is. As Moe serves him a drink, Smithers laments that Springfield needs a bar for the average-looking gay man. Then an idea dawns on Smithers, and he proposes to Moe that they refurbish the bar and make it into a more accepting gay bar. Moe is first reluctant about the idea, because he doesn't feel like being around so many gays, but he soon realizes that with Smithers' plan he can make money. Moe thus decides to turn Moe's into an ultra-trendy gay bar, renaming it to change the name to "Mo's". Smithers revisits the sidewalk in front of The League of Extra-Horny Gentlemen and tells the gays who were denied entrance (among them Grady and Mr. Largo) that they will be welcome in Mo's. Grady and Largo come to Mo's and have a good time, and as word of Mo's spreads in the gay community, Mo's soon becomes a success amongst gays. Mo's went back to its regular self after Moe declared he wasn't gay.<ref>"[[Flaming Moe]]"</ref><br />
<br />
=== Regular customers ===<br />
It appears that Moe's tavern has only six regular patrons, Homer, Barney, Lenny, Carl, [[Sam]] and [[Larry (barfly)|Larry]]. Moe pointed out that due to their frequent habit of drunk-driving, "91% of all traffic accidents in this city are caused by you six guys."<ref>[[The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson]]</ref> In earlier episodes, circa season 5, many other customers are shown at the bar, although most are unnamed characters that play no role but as background.<br />
<br />
Barney's bar tab was so large that Moe had to send it to NASA to get it calculated. It totalled to $14 billion. Initially, it was believed to be $70 billion, but that was revealed to be the cost of the Voyager space craft.<br />
<br />
==== Other regulars ====<br />
You may also occasionally see [[Charlie]], one of Homer's colleagues at the nuclear power plant. Moe's is usually the place where Homer takes new found friends to hang out, such as Principal Skinner before his marriage. [[Ruth Powers]] is the only girl regular in the bar and is usually a background character.<br />
The two barflies usually seen are Sam and Larry. Sam always wears a cap and Larry has a balding head.<br />

*A potential patron was [[Guy Incognito (character)|Guy Incognito]], a man who looked like Homer and talked in a voice similar to his but had a mustache and wore a top hat and tails. Guy wanted to order a drink one time, but Moe thought it was Homer (Homer was temporarily banned from Moe's at the time) in disguise and kicked him out not realizing his error. Homer sees this man lying in the gutter out the front of Moe's and realizes he looks just like him but instead of investigating this further, Homer chases after a dog with a puffy tail.<br />
*An unknown character who thinks Homer's name is Bill.<br />
*Barney's dog [[Shaggy]] was seen joining the regulars. When Moe commented that he was sick of hearing "shaggy dog stories", Shaggy left in a huff.<br />

<br />
=== Location, address and phone number ===<br />
Moe's Tavern is located on Walnut Street, next to [[King Toot's Music Store]]. Across the street is the Moeview Hotel and factory once owned by [[Bart Simpson]].<br />
<br />
The phone number varies from time to time. Mr. Burns once tried to call [[Waylon Smithers|Smithers]] but did not know his phone number. He tried the buttons marked with the letters for Smithers (764-8437(7)) and called Moe's.<ref>[[Homer the Smithers]]</ref> Bart is asked to call Homer by [[Principal Skinner]], the number visible on the card is WORK: KLondike 5-6832 HOME: KLondike 5-6754 MOE'S TAVERN: KLondike 5-1239, Moe answers the phone and Bart asks for Homer Sexual.<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref> However, in another occasion, Homer phones the bar at 355-1337.<ref>[[Bonfire of the Manatees]]</ref><br />

Moe's Tavern is based on a real bar called Moe's by Loyola Marymount in Playa Del Rey, CA on Culver Street. The owner of Moe's actually bears a striking resemblance to the Simpson's Moe.<br />
<br />
A bar called Moe's Tavern can be seen opposite the bank in the film ''Dog Day Afternoon''. [[Hank Azaria]] stated that Moe's voice was based on that of Al Pacino's character in the same film.<br />
<br />
On the Middle East Broadcasting Center on the Arab version of the show, where ''The Simpsons'' is known as ''[[Al-Shamshoon]]'', the characters drink soda at Moe's Tavern because alcoholic beer is forbidden in Islam.<br />
<br />
A DVD featurette on [[The Complete Tenth Season]] features a clip collection of these prank calls from Seasons 1 through 7.<br />
<br />
In ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]'' it is called Moe's Bar instead of Moe's Tavern.<br />

'''Dr. Nicholas "Nick" Riviera''' is a quack physician (although he claims to be "just as good as [[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]]"), who studied at dubious medical schools.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Riviera is of Hispanic descent (and in the European Spanish dub he is specifically given an Argentinian accent) and has a medical degree from [[Hollywood Upstairs Medical College]] (where he apparently spent much of his time using his ability to acquire prescription drugs to impress a succession of attractive women back in the 1970s), and a great deal of luck. Thus far, none of the patients he has swindled, maimed, or given useless or dangerous medical advice seems to have sued him (although a few have come after him in person. For example, a large angry man once grabbed him, and Nick says "Well if it isn't my old friend Mr. McGregg — with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg"; the man literally has an arm where a leg should be and a leg where an arm should be <ref>[[Homer's Triple Bypass]]</ref>). <br />
Dr. Nick is a stereotypical shady, immoral doctor who perform medical procedures for money with little or no regard for medical ethics, or their patients' well-being. He was once is seen digging up corpses in the graveyard for body parts, presumably to use in operations on patients.<ref>[[The Girl Who Slept Too Little]]</ref> <br />
He is seen taking a citizenship test, implying he is not a citizen of the United States.<ref>[[Much Apu About Nothing]]</ref> Some of his exclamations hint that he may be Argentinian, though there is no direct evidence of this. In Homer's Triple Bypass, he watches a video on how to perform open-heart surgery and is disgusted by all the blood, implying that he may be hemophobic.<br />
<br />
His degrees read "Mayo Clinic Correspondence School", "Club Med School", "Female Body Inspector" and "I went to medical school for four years and all I got was this lousy diploma".<ref>[[Bart Gets Hit by a Car]]</ref> He frequently appears on infomercials, pitching all sorts of bizarre medical offers, and has often turned his operations into TV spectacles. He is also shown as an inventor/huckster (in the style of Ron Popeil) on the television show ''I Can't Believe They Invented It!'' His "Walk-In Clinic" is based at 44 Bow Street. Its phone number is 555-NICK. He can also be called at 1-600-DOCTORB ("The B is for 'Bargain'")<br />
<br />
He has operated on the Simpson family a couple of times (when they cannot afford Doctor Hibbert) notably when [[Homer's Triple Bypass|Homer needed a heart bypass]]. [[Lisa Simpson]] attended the live audience for the operation and saved the day by guiding the obviously clueless Dr. Riviera through the operation. He also worked with Doctor Hibbert as anesthesiologist during Bart's appendectomy but was of little help as he first failed to anesthetize Bart and subsequently passed out from the leaking gas.<br />
<br />
During [[Trappuccino]] in ''The Simpsons Movie'', Nick was impaled by a large shard of glass and says, in his normal voice, "Bye everybody!" and then passes out, making him one of the few casualties of the [[Trappuccino]] incident, however, he has been seen alive even after the incident <ref>[[Lost Verizon]]</ref> playing golf with Dr. Hibbert. This could mean he actually survived the impaling somehow.<br />
<br />
In "[[Judge Me Tender]]", he was getting judged by [[Moe]] on an operation game show.<br />
<br />
== Non-canon ==<br />
{{Noncanon}}<br />
=== Video games ===<br />
In [[The Simpsons Road Rage]], he says "Send me to the hospital, I pretend I work there".<br />
<br />
A mission in [[The Simpsons Hit & Run]] involves Bart having to find Dr. Nick's monkeys after Dr. Nick tortures them horribly and they run away. He also says a number of weird things if the player runs him over, such as "Hey! You drive as well as I practice medicine!" and "Don't come crying to me if you need a sex change!" He also appears in the bonus mission for level three, where Lisa comes to get Principal Skinner's 'personal items', Dr. Nick says,"Hello, little girl. Here is the principal's anti-fungal cream!"<br />
<br />
== Behind the Laughter ==<br />
The character design of Dr. Nick is based somewhat on [[Gábor Csupó]], of Klasky Csupo studios, who was originally from Hungary – the animators mistakenly believed [[Hank Azaria]] was impersonating Gabor, when in fact the voice was actually a bad imitation of Ricky Ricardo from ''I Love Lucy''.<ref>The Simpsons Season 4 DVD commentary for [[Homer's Triple Bypass]]</ref><br />
<br />
He also has a sign in the new HD opening theme that says "If you die, you don't pay".<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrase ===<br />
Dr. Nick is notable for his exclamation upon entering a room of “Hi, everybody!”, which is immediately followed by a response of “Hi, Dr. Nick!” from the other characters present with varying degrees of enthusiasm. There was an Austrian version of Dr. Riviera in the episode "[[Margical History Tour]]", where he portrays the doctor of the ailing Mozart, played by [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], and his exclamation is "Guten Tag, everybody!" Another variation is an episode where [[Mel Gibson]] says, "Hi, everybody!" and Dr. Nick responds with "Hi, Mr. Gibson." Another episode featured a Jewish version of Dr. Nick during [[Homer Simpson|Homer]]'s flashback to the first [[Christmas]]. Dr. Nick says: "Shalom, everybody!" In [[Lisa the Simpson]] Dr. Nick greets a refrigerated [[Jasper Beardley]] with "Hi frozen body!" when entering the [[Kwik-E-Mart]].<br />
<br />
=== Cultural influence ===<br />
In a tongue-in-cheek analysis the ''Canadian Medical Association Journal'' compared the services of [[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]] and Dr. Nick.<ref>Patterson R, Weijer C. D'oh! An analysis of the medical care provided to the family of Homer J. Simpson. CMAJ. 1998 Dec 15;159(12):1480-1. PMID 9988570 [http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/reprint/159/12/1480.pdf Free Full Text]</ref> It concludes that Dr. Nick is a better role model for physicians; Dr. Hibbert is a paternalistic and wasteful physician, unlike Dr. Nick, who strives to cut costs and does his best to avoid the coroner, proving Marge's claim wrong that he isn't a doctor at all.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Butterfinger.jpg|thumb|300px|A typical Butterfinger bar.]]<br />
'''Butterfinger''' is a popular peanut-butter and chocolate candy bar. There have been 150 commercials for Butterfinger that have featured The Simpsons since 1988 up through today. <br />
<br />
Many of the commercials featured Homer trying to get Bart's Butterfinger, but would be one-upped by Bart each time. Each commercial ended with Bart saying the candy's tagline - "Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger!" (in the late 1990s, this was changed to "Bite My Butterfinger!). <br />
<br />
Most of these advertisements have been released on The Simpsons DVD sets as bonus features along with other commercials. <br />
<br />
== History in the TV series ==<br />
After the introduction of "''Marge's law''", the police started to burn all the sugar snacks in a huge bonfire. When they put a Butterfinger onto the bonfire, the fire spits out the Butterfinger and Wiggum said "Butterfingers. Even fire doesn't want them".<ref>"[[Sweets and Sour Marge]]"</ref><br />
<br />
When [[Bart]] saw the [[Baby Stink Breath]] commercial he stared in, he asked [[Lisa]] if he was in a commercial as he did't remember it at all, and started eating a ''Butterfinger''.<ref>"[[Barting Over]]"</ref><br />
<br />
=== Non-canon===<br />
{{Deleted scene}}<br />
When [[Bart]] made a trap so [[Homer]] got mad, he let him eating a piece of chocolate. Homer spat it out as it was Butterfinger. He was slightly happy as he had not swallowed it.<ref>"[[I Am Furious Yellow]]"</ref><br />

<br />
'''Margaret "Maggie" Simpson''' is the youngest child of [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]], and sister to [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]]. She is often seen sucking on her pacifier, and, when she walks, she trips over her clothing and falls on her face. Because she cannot talk, Maggie is the least seen and heard in the [[Simpson family]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Marge, Maggie, Lisa & Bart.png|thumb|Maggie with her mother and siblings.]]When Marge became pregnant with Lisa, she and Homer bought [[742 Evergreen Terrace|their first home]]. Seven years later, Homer felt financially secure enough to quit his job at power plant and take his dream job at [[New Barney's Bowlarama|Barney's Bowlarama]]. Soon after, Marge became pregnant with Maggie, and unable to support his family, Homer reapplied for his job at the power plant. Homer fell into a deep depression but when he held Maggie for the first time after she was born he loved her at first sight. He keeps all of Maggie's baby photos in his office to cheer him up at work.<br />
<br />
Like average babies, Maggie is impressionable and easily influenced by what she sees around her. She once hit [[Homer Simpson|her father]] on the head with a mallet, shot a suction dart at his picture and brandished a pencil in imitation of ''[[Itchy and Scratchy]]''. Despite her age, Maggie is a formidable markswoman<ref>"[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)]]"</ref><ref name="WSB2">"[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)]]"</ref> and she shot the fingers off of a group of mobsters in rapid succession with a rifle.<ref>"[[Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge]]"</ref> She was behind the attempted murder of [[Mr. Burns]]<ref name="WSB2"/> and she fought [[Gerald]] during the St. Patrick day riot, her representing Ireland and Gerald Northern Ireland.<ref>"[[Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes]]"</ref> When the family's house was being raided by an angry mob, she was able to smash her baby bottle and use it as a makeshift weapon, and she knocked out Russ Cargil, the head of the [[EPA]] with a rock when he was about to shoot Homer and [[Bart]] with a shotgun.<ref>''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Maggie is often frightened of her father's attempts to bond with her, even though she does love him. Instead, Maggie shows a much stronger attraction to her mother instead, possibly because Marge is always at home with her whilst Homer is mostly at work or at [[Moe's Tavern|Moe's]].<br />
<br />
She is keenly aware of her surroundings, and can usually be seen imitating the flow of action around her. Like [[Bart]], [[Lisa]] and [[Homer]], she is not fond of spending time with her aunts [[Patty]] and [[Selma]]. It is also known that she dislikes [[Gerald|Gerald, the one eyebrowed baby]] very much.<br />
<br />
Maggie bears a strong resemblance to [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]], suggesting that Maggie will look very much like her sister when she reaches eight-years-old.<br />
<br />
Maggie's first word is "Daddy", something neither Bart or Lisa would call him when they were babies.<ref>"[[Lisa's First Word]]"</ref> On another occasion, Maggie's speaks the word "Ya"; a Norwegian word. She has also said "Dadily Doodily" when she was in the care of [[Ned Flanders]].<ref>"[[Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily]]"</ref><br />
<br />
She once felt responsible for not letting Bart watch ''[[The Itchy & Scratchy Movie]]'' and started to feel guilty due to the [[Springfield Prison]] break she caused, which was ultimately blamed to Bart and got him banned from watching the movie.<ref>"[[Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie]]"</ref><br />
<br />
== Non-canon ==<br />

===Future===<br />
In the future, Maggie went on holidays to Alaska, which was warmer because of global warming. At this age she looks exactly like [[Lisa]] does currently.<ref>"[[Future-Drama]]"</ref> Maggie is seen as a punk teenager. It is said that she has a beautiful singing voice and, according to [[Homer]], never shuts up. (Ironically, whenever she tries to speak, she is always interrupted.) She also likes to play around a lot with her friends and family. It is revealed that she has a daughter named [[Maggie Jr]] with [[Gerald]], who looks exactly the same as Maggie.<ref>"[[Bart to the Future]]"</ref><br />
===Treehouse of Horror===<br />
In an alternate universe that Homer briefly visited, Maggie hit [[Groundskeeper Willie]] in the back with an axe and then spoke in [[James Earl Jones]]'s voice: "This is indeed a disturbing universe."<ref>"[[Treehouse of Horror V]]"</ref><br />
====Treehouse of Horror IX====<br />
In "[[Treehouse of Horror IX]]", [[Kang]] is Maggie's real father.<br />
<br />
==Behind the Laughter==<br />
[[Matt Groening]] first conceived the Simpson family in the lobby of [[James L. Brooks]]' office. He had been called in to pitch a series of animated shorts, and had intended to present his ''[[Life in Hell]]'' series. When he realized that animating ''Life in Hell'' would require him to rescind publication rights for his life's work, Groening decided to go in another direction.<ref>DVD feature</ref> He hurriedly sketched out his version of a dysfunctional family, and named the characters after various members of his own family. Maggie was named after [[Matt Groening]]'s younger sister Margaret "Maggie" Groening. She often sucked on a pacifier and wore a sleep suit, two traits Groening used for Maggie. Maggie then made her debut with the rest of the Simpsons clan on 19 April 1987 in the [[The Simpsons shorts|Tracey Ullman short]] "[[Good Night]]".<ref>"[[Good Night]]"</ref> Groening thought that it would be funny to have a baby character that did not talk and never grew up, but assigned any emotions that the scene required. Her comedic hallmarks include her tendency to stumble and land on her face while attempting to walk (though this has been downplayed in later seasons), and a penchant for sucking on her pacifier, the sound of which has become the equivalent of her catchphrase and was originally created by Groening during the [[The Tracey Ullman Show|Tracey Ullman period]], and by [[Nancy Cartwright]] during the regular series.<br />
<br />
During the show's opening credits, Maggie is run through a supermarket checkout scanner, which reads that she is worth $847.63 (a reference to the monthly cost of infant-rearing in 1989). In "[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]," the scanner instead reads "NRA4EVER," a reference to the running joke that the show's creators are right-wing radicals. In the newer episodes her price has changed to $486.22 (because there had been 486 episodes broadcast as the end of [[season 22]]).<br />
<br />
=== Voice ===<br />
<br />
With few exceptions, Maggie never speaks but is very participatory in the events around her, emoting with subtle gestures and facial expressions. Maggie has spoken in "[[Good Night]]", the first [[The Simpsons shorts|short]] to air, after the family falls asleep. On this occasion, Liz Georges provided the voice of Maggie. In "[[Bart vs. Thanksgiving]]", Bart has a vision of what could happen if he returned home after destroying Lisa's centerpiece. In this vision, Maggie says to him telepathically: "It's your fault I can't talk!".<br />
<br />
Maggie's first word spoken in the normal continuity of the series occurred in "[[Lisa's First Word]]", when she was voiced by [[Elizabeth Taylor]]. Elizabeth Taylor's performance as Maggie was named the 13th greatest guest spot in the history of the show by IGN. [[James Earl Jones]], who voiced Maggie in [[Treehouse of Horror V]] was in seventh place. She would later have brief dialogue in [[Treehouse of Horror IX]], voiced by [[Harry Shearer]], who used his [[Kang & Kodos|Kang]] voice. In earlier episodes, [[Yeardley Smith]] did many of Maggie's squeaks and occasional speaking parts, although in later seasons her parts were done by [[Nancy Cartwright]]. Although she has spoken many times, she has only had two canonical speeches that were real within the series. Her first canon speech was in [[Lisa's First Word]], and this word was "daddy" (as both Bart and Lisa grew up calling Homer his given name), however only the viewers and not the family heard her say this (At least until the Father's day Clip show). Her second speech was in [[Coming to Homerica]]. This time the family did hear her speak.<br />
<br />
According to [[The Simpsons Movie]], the first word the family heard Maggie say was "sequel?", in the ending sequence (unless one counts the [[Gump Roast|Father's Day clip show]] as being canon).<br />
<br />
Maggie also said some thing in [[Four Great Women and a Manicure]] when on she is in the court, though this is non-canon since it was a story told by [[Lisa]].<br />
<br />
=== Heroism ===<br />
<br />
Maggie has saved people's lives on a few occasions. Maggie saved [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] from [[Groundskeeper Willie]] in [[Treehouse of Horror VI]] and she saves Homer from being killed by mobsters by shooting them down in [[Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge]]. Maggie has even saved her arch-enemy, [[Gerald]] from floating into space in a Simpson comic story called [[Bringing Down Baby]]. Maggie saved [[Homer]] a second time on [[The Simpsons Movie]] from [[Russ Cargill]] by smashing him in the head with a boulder. Homer also said "What a great little accident you turned out to be", which was referring to the fact that she was conceived at a time that [[And Maggie Makes Three|none of her parents intended to]], she also saved him from drowning.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
{{Images|Maggie}}<br />
*Maggie also seems to have a possible high intelligence (for a baby at least). Examples include being able to handle a weapon, she was seen dancing very well, and she said her first word at the age of one. (Lisa's first word was when she was 2) .<br />
*The real father of Maggie is [[Kang]] in the non-canon Treehouse of Horror IX.<br />
*Once, in [[Lisa's Wedding]] Maggie was 16-year old teenager. She didn't talk in that episode but, when she was about to sing it was innterupt by [[Hugh Parkfield]]. She seems to enjoy makeup and other fashion things when she was 16.<br />

'''Stephen William Hawking''', CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA (born January 8, 1942) is an English theoretical physicist, best known for his work on black holes, quantum gravity, and theoretical cosmology and being considered the world's smartest man. He voiced {{ch|Stephen Hawking|himself}} in the [[season 10]] episode "[[They Saved Lisa's Brain]]", the [[season 16]] episode "[[Don't Fear the Roofer]]", the [[season 18]] episode "[[Stop or My Dog Will Shoot!]]", and the [[season 22]] episode "[[Elementary School Musical]]". Archive footage of his scene from "[[They Saved Lisa's Brain]]" was used in the [[season 11]] episode "[[Behind the Laughter]]".<br />
<br />
His daughter, {{w|Lucy Hawking}}, was one of the scriptwriters for ''[[The Simpsons]]'' at the time, and she convinced him to guest star.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNcHFRq6wOQ Stephen Hawking discusses his stint on ''The Simpsons'' on YouTube]</ref><br />
<br />
Stephen Hawking was voted 16th in [[IGN]]'s [http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/730/730566p1.html "Top 25 Simpsons Guest Stars"].<br />

'''Stephen Hawking''' is a British theoretical physicist. He has visited [[Springfield]] several times.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
Stephen Hawking is paralyzed and in a motorized wheelchair. The chair's features include a speech synthesizer, a toothbrush, a concealed extensible boxing glove, and a propeller which can deploy from the back of the chair and start spinning, essentially turning the chair into a miniature helicopter.<ref name="They Saved Lisa's Brain">"[[They Saved Lisa's Brain]]"</ref><br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Professor Hawking first visited Springfield when he heard that the local [[Mensa International|Mensa]] chapter had taken control of the city. He was hoping to see the town transformed into a perfect utopia under the leadership of the intellectual elite, but was dismayed to see it was more of a "fruitopia". Hawking said he wasn't sure which was the bigger disappointment: His own failure to formulate a unified field theory, or the Springfield intellectuals' failure to transform the town. [[Principal Skinner]] objected to the comparison, and Hawking used his chair's boxing glove to punch him.<br />
<br />
The townspeople revolted, and Hawking decided to make his escape. After accidentally deploying his chair's toothbrush (when he pressed the wrong button), Hawking activated his chair's propeller and flew away. When the townspeople began destroying a gazebo and [[Lisa]] was trapped inside, Hawking flew in and rescued her.<br />
<br />
After the chaos died down, [[Marge]] suggested going out for some beers, which Hawking said was the smartest idea he'd heard all day. At [[Moe's Tavern]], Hawking and [[Homer]] had a pleasant conversation over a beer. Hawking was intrigued by Homer's "theory of a donut-shaped universe" and said he might have to steal it. When Homer tried to stick Hawking with the bar tab (by imitating the chair's speech synthesizer), Hawking used the boxing glove to punch Homer.<ref name="They Saved Lisa's Brain">"[[They Saved Lisa's Brain]]"</ref> <br />
<br />
When Homer struck up a friendship with [[Ray Magini]], Homer was the only one who could see Ray and the rest of the family thought that Homer was imagining things. Hawking appeared and explained to [[Bart]] that a space-time discontinuity was preventing everyone else from seeing Ray.<ref>"[[Don't Fear the Roofer]]"</ref><br />
<br />
The town later had a {{w|corn maze}} in which both Hawking and Homer managed to get lost. While Homer had to wait for [[Santa's Little Helper]] to come to the rescue, Hawking used his chair's propeller to fly out of the maze.<ref>"[[Stop or My Dog Will Shoot]]"</ref><br />
<br />
Hawking was also seen at [[Expressions]], wearing gold jewellery, including a chain with the {{w|Mass-energy equivalence|relativity equation}} (E=MC<sup>2</sup>), while spinning in circles to a song.<ref>"[[Elementary School Musical]]"</ref><br />
<br />
One time, when Homer was helping Bart with a homework assignment and trying to figure out what a cube was, he called Hawking for help.<ref>''[[An Easy Assignment]]''</ref><br />
<br />
== Non-canon ==<br />
{{Noncanon}}<br />
Hawking was seen waiting in line to board the spaceship that was evacuating people from the Y2K apocalypse.<ref>"[[Treehouse of Horror X]]"</ref><br />
<br />
== Behind the Laughter ==<br />
*Even though in reality, Professor Hawking is almost completely paralyzed, his animated self in ''The Simpsons'' can make facial expressions, blink his eyes and move his hands. Also, Hawking cannot use his hands in reality, and is forced to use a {{w|Brain-computer interface}} in order to operate the computer on his wheelchair and speak with the voice synthesizer.<br />

'''Stephen Hawking''' is a British theoretical physicist. He has visited [[Springfield]] several times.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
Stephen Hawking is paralyzed and in a motorized wheelchair.

'''Charlie''' is the Dangerous Emissions Supervisor of Sector 7G at the [[Springfield Power Plant]]. He is a friend of [[Homer Simpson|Homer]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Charlie is known to have bad luck. He is arrested for threatening to beat up local officials over the slow progression of HDTVs.<ref>"[[The Trouble With Trillions]]"</ref> He was briefly disabled as stated by Lenny after Homer notices he is not at the plant.<ref>"[[King-Size Homer]]"</ref> However, he later recovered. He, along with other employees, were also set on fire due to Homer's negligence.<ref>"[[Homie the Clown]]"</ref> As a member of the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team]], Charlie uses his sister's wooden leg as a baseball bat.<ref>"[[Homer at the Bat]]"</ref><br />
<br />
Charlie is replaced by [[Mindy Simmons]] after he, [[Homer]], [[Lenny]], and [[Carl]] play a prank on a worker and cause a radioactive gas leak and Charlie complains to [[Mr. Burns]] that the plant requires a real emergency exit rather than one which is painted on. Burns lowers a giant tube which suck Charlie up, sending him to an Asian country where he is forced to dance on a table.<ref name=last>"[[The Last Temptation of Homer]]"</ref><br />
<br />
[[File:Charlie.jpg|thumb|left]]<br />
<br />
== Resemblances ==<br />
=== Characters in ''The Simpsons'' ===<br />
Charlie bears a resemblance to [[Sam]], one of the barflies at [[Moe's Tavern]]. This could be because they both have big glasses, they both have trouble with alcoholism, they have scruffy looks, worried eyes, and have bags under their eyes. They also occasionally are seen hanging out at [[Moe's Tavern]] as well.<br />
<br />
=== Characters in other media ===<br />
In [[Matt Groening]]'s second show, ''[[Futurama]]'' the character Terry appears to resemble Charlie including his primary role of being a background filler and his usual role of having bad luck.<br />
<br />
== Creation ==<br />
=== Voice ===<br />
He is voiced by [[Dan Castellaneta]], who said that he was "just [doing] an imitation of Lenny", according to the commentary for "[[Homer at the Bat]]". His voice sounds similar to the [[Blue-Haired Lawyer]] and [[Arnie Pie]], who are also voiced by Castellaneta.<br />

__NOTOC__<br />
=== Opening Segment ===<br />
*'''Sports Announcer:''' It's the sixth game in the world series, and the current highlights is a cloud shaped like a giraffe that floated by during the rain delay. And look at that. The batter just called time out again! Let's look in the stands with the player's wives. Oh what do you know! They're talking on cell phones. No doubt complaining about the good life.<br />'''Kang:''' This is the most boring game in all the universe!<br />'''Kodos:''' And with all those steroids they take they look like freaks!<br />'''Both:''' Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! (''A small minuture version of Kodos' head appears on Kodos' neck)''<br />'''Mini Kodos:''' Freaks! Freaks! ''(Kodos bites it off and eats it.)''<br />
*'''[[Kang]]:''' If we don't speed this game up, the Simpsons' Halloween Special will not air until Administrative Professionals' Day!<br />'''Kodos:''' Speaking of which, we must remember to get Dorothy something. ''(holds up a framed picture of Kang and Kodos with an attractive woman)''<br />
*'''Kang:''' The boredom is excruciating! Fire the Accele-Ray!<br />''(the flying saucer then fires the Accele-Ray at Earth, which causes the game to go faster)''<br />'''Announcer:''' Strike out, left field. And some kind of Accele-Ray has bathed the stadium in an eerie green glow.<br />'''Kang:''' It's still boring! Faster!<br />'''[[Kodos]]:''' But the fabric of the universe itself may shatter!<br />'''Kang:''' Good! Only then could the Cubs will finally win! (Kodos makes the Accele-Ray go faster)<br />
*'''Kodos: '''(after the fabric of the universe shatters) Smooth move, space laxs! You've destroyed the totality of existents!<br />
*'''Kang:'''It will be fine. I'll just leave a note. (Hangs a post-it note saying Trehouse of Horror XVI)<br />
<br />
=== B.I.: Bartificial Intelligence ===<br />
*'''[[Homer Simpson|Homer]]:''' Yeah, a robot son will be great. We can confuse him and make his head explode! ''(robot voice)'' This statement is a lie. But if it's a lie, then it must be true! And if it's true, it must be... Woop, woop, woop! KA-BOOM!<br />'''Dr. Hibbert:''' And a robot would keep your mind off your dead son.<br />'''Marge:''' I thought he was in a coma!<br />'''Dr. Hibbert:''' They're pretty much the same thing except this way I get to keep billing you!<br />'''Marge:''' You already said that!<br />'''Dr. Hibbert:''' Well you didn't laugh the first time!<br />
*'''Homer:''' Now, I'm a man who likes to strangle his son...<br />'''Sarcastic Man:''' Go ahead.<br />'''Homer:''' WHY YOU METAL!! ''(begins strangling David)'' Wow! The windpipe is so responsive!<br />
*'''David:''' Bart, we can be friends.<br />'''Bart:''' Eat my shorts!<br />'''David:''' I will comply.<br />''(David eats Barts shorts and then processes them into a teddy bear for Maggie)''<br />'''Homer (taking off his pants):''' Make me a kitty!<br />
*'''Bart-tron:''' I'm home!<br />'''Marge:''' You told me he was at culinary school.<br />'''Homer:''' You wanted to believe the lie!<br />
*'''Bart-tron:''' Time to destroy the one who did this to me!<br />'''David:''' To get me, you will have to go through your fath...<br />''(David holds up Homer...and Bart slices them both)''<br />'''Homer (After being cut in half):''' Oh, those were my good pants!<br />
*'''Homer:''' This stinks! I've got stubby little robot legs and an ass that's not equipped for an adult diet! ''(The robot legs break and Homer falls over)''<br />'''Lisa:''' Dad, dad, dad! You're not a robot! ''(Homer wakes up to find he's in bed and the whole family is next to him)'' You're just possessed by the devil.<br />'''Priest:''' The power of Christ compels thee! ''(Throws a drop of holy water on Homer's head. Homer goes insane and his head keeps rotating as he climbs the wall and onto the ceiling)''<br />'''Marge:''' I'll call work and tell them he can't make it.<br />'''Homer:''' Woo-hoo! ''(Falls onto the bed on his belly with his head pointing to the ceiling)'' He, he, he. Suckers.<br />
<br />
=== Survival of the Fattest ===<br />
*'''Burns' invitation:''' Mr. Burns is inviting you to a hunting party. (sinister laugh)<br />
*'''Lisa:''' Don't accept this invitation dad. Hunting is cruel!<br />'''Homer:''' Lisa, animals don't feel death. That was proven by the scientists at Black Angus!<br />'''Bart:''' No fair! Dad gets to kill wild animals, but I shoot one bird and I have to go to a psychiatrist!<br />'''Marge:''' He still thinks that hobo was a bird.<br />
*'''Burns:''' Now, since I am so kind, I will give you a five minutes' head-start. You may commence running!<br />'''Comic Book Guy:''' Five minutes of running? Just shoot me now! ''(Burns does so)''<br />'''Burns:''' Well, that broke the ice. Whoever lives to noon tomorrow shall win his freedom!<br />'''Blue-Haired Lawyer:''' Excuse me. What gives you the right to do this?<br />'''Burns:''' You tell me. You are my lawyer.<br />'''Lawyer:''' Well, you are zoned for hunting and you claim killing humans is part of your religion. I think I can write something up. ''(cut to the Lawyer on a typewriter)'' There. This should work in just about any courtroom.<br />'''Burns:''' Excellent. ''(kills the lawyer)''<br />
*'''Burns:''' I smell fear, mixed with curry.<br />
*'''Apu (after getting shot by Burns):''' Ah,you got me. But I shall be reincarnated. ''(dies, then a rabbit with Apu's face appears)''<br />'''Rabbit Apu:''' Ha, ha! You can't kill a Hindu! ''(his foreleg gets caught in a bear trap)'' Ah! Help me Jesus!<br />
*''Shows Homer running away from Burns while Burns is shooting him. A TV show logo appears.''<br />'''Logo:''' "The World Series of Manslaughter"<br />'''TV Announcer:''' You're watching the World Sseries of Manslaughter! The most violent spectacle since the Hip-Hop image awards! ''(Shows Lisa and Marge watching TV)''<br />'''Lisa:''' Mom! Mr. Burns is going to kill Dad!<br />'''Marge:''' I should have known something was wrong when we got this week's TV guide. ''(Holds up the TV guide with a picture of Homer running away from Burns.)''<br />'''TV Guide:''' Must Flee TV.<br />
*'''TV Announcer:''' And here with his take on tonight's bloodthirsty action, here's guest Terry Bradshaw. Terry.<br />'''Terry Bradshaw:''' Well conventional wisdom says "Good fleeing will always mean good chasing" BUT the stats say "Put your money on the guy with the gun"! (''Shows Krusty being chased by Burns in the background and gets shot'')<br />'''Krusty:''' Dying is just like golfing, except in golf- ''(Burns keeps shooting Krusty)''<br />'''Terry Bradshaw:''' Aw, you hate to see that. That's the kind of showboating that'll put people off this sport!<br />
*'''Moe (impaled on a weathervane):''' Well, since I'm about to die, I might as well scratch off that lottery ticket I bought. ''(does so)'' Instant winner? One million dollars!? Boy, if I ever get out alive... ''(gets crushed by Wiggum)''<br />
*'''Lenny (after getting shot by Burns' plane):''' Carl, I see [[Heaven]].<br />'''Carl:''' What does it look like?<br />''(we then see Lenny's vision: a Heaven with thousands of angels who look like Carl)''<br />'''Carl angels:''' Hurry up, Lenny. We'll be late for work at the plant! ''(Lenny dies happily)''<br />
<br />

"'''Treehouse of Horror XVI'''" is the fourth episode of [[season 17]].<br />
<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
In "B.I.: Bartificial Intelligence", the family replaces Bart, who is in coma, with a robot son, but when Bart wakes up he wants revenge on the robot. In "Survival of the Fattest", Mr Burns invites many of the townspeople to go hunting, but Mr Burns plans hunting the townspeople. In the end Homer is the last one alive, but for how long? In "I've Grown a Costume on Your Face", a witch turns everyone in Springfield into their costumed characters, and Maggie, being dressed as a witch and therefore becoming a witch herself, is the only one who can break the spell. <br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
=== Opening segment ===<br />
In the opening, using an accelerator-beam, [[Kang]] and [[Kodos]] hope to speed up a World Series baseball game to air ''The Simpsons''. Things later go sour, and the baseball stadium is drawn in to a specific point where the gravity is high. Afterwards the stadiums' surroundings are drawn into this point and then the whole city of Springfield, then Earth's oceans, the whole Earth, the solar system, numerous galaxies and finally [[God]] is drawn into this singularity, a form of a Big Crunch. Kodos says to Kang, "Smooth move, space-lax! You've destroyed the totality of existence." Kang replies, "It will be fine. I'll just leave a note." The note is yellow and says: "Treehouse of Horror XVI" in blood.<br />
<br />
=== B.I.: Bartificial Intelligence ===<br />
[[Bart Simpson|Bart]] ends up in a coma after attempting to jump from the roof to the swimming pool at [[Spinster Arms Apartments]]. In an effort to cope with the loss of their boy, the family takes in a robotic boy, named [[David (Treehouse of Horror XVI)|David]], who quickly proves to be a better son. Later, Bart is found to be alive, however the two boys soon try to compete for their families love. [[Marge]] grows concerned with the boys rivalry, [[Homer]] comforts her and says he'll fix it. Of course instead of getting rid of the better robot son Homer decides to dump Bart in the woods. Bart soon comes across a band of defunct robots, harvesting their parts to become a powerful cyborg, He returns home to seek his revenge on David, and in the end, he cuts both Homer and David in half. Eventually, Homer, who no longer has his legs, now has to be fused with David's legs. In the end it is revealed that it was all a dream induced by Homer's Demonic Possession, in a pardoy of 'The Exorcist'. A priest comes and splashes holy water on Homer who begins to preform the exorcist movements and music, and climbs up on the ceiling. Marge calls the plant to tell them that Homer won't be able to come in today, and Homer exclaims "Whoo-hoo!" and collapses on the bed, relaxed, but with his head still turned around backwards.<br />
<br />
=== Survival of the Fattest ===<br />
[[File:TV Guide.jpg|thumb]]<br />
[[Homer]] and other citizens of Springfield receive a letter from [[Mr. Burns]] to come to his mansion to go hunting. Homer goes, despite his family's warnings. Unbeknownst to them, they are the prey to be hunted by Burns. After his [[Blue Haired Lawyer|lawyer]] writes something that "should work in just about every courtroom" (and is then shot by Burns), he gives everyone five minutes advantage, but even so he manages to kill almost everyone, some of who climbed a tree but were launched into the air by Homer, and shot by Burns (except for [[Moe]], who dies because of being splat by a dead [[Chief Wiggum]]). While the Simpson family watch the hunt on TV, the survivors hide in a forest, in which [[Professor Frink]] is eaten by Homer and everyone but him is shot by Burns' attack helicopter. Homer manages to survive the night as his friends are killed, and he uses [[Barney]]'s dead body so Burns thinks he is Homer. He falls from a tree and Burns is ready to shoot at him, but just as he is about to do it, he and [[Waylon Smithers|Smithers]] are both knocked out with frying pans by Marge, who then hits Homer for being away from home for eighteen hours and not calling. The segment ends with two reporters showing Homer and Marge making love behind them.<br />
<br />
=== I've Grown a Costume on Your Face ===<br />
[[File:Springfield Dummies.jpg|thumb|left]]<br />
The citizens of Springfield dress in their Halloween costumes for a costume contest. A wicked [[Witch (Treehouse of Horror XVI)|witch]] also entered, and won. But after revealing that she isn't wearing a costume, and is really a witch, she is disqualified and her prize is taken away. In revenge, she turns everyone into the actual characters that their costumes are. All of the citizens have problems with their appearances, including the Simpsons: [[Homer]]'s head falls off, [[Marge]] turns into a skeleton (But with her own Human head), [[Bart]] into a werewolf, [[Lisa]] into Albert Einstein and [[Maggie]] into a witch (as they were all dressed like that). Lisa tries to discover how to reverse the spell, then she realizes Maggie is now a witch and she can do it. The citizens come to their house, some saying they like their appearance and abilities, and some saying they want to be back to normal. Maggie gets confused, so she eventually turns the people of Springfield into pacifiers with their normal heads and goes away on her broomstick. Moe then tells the audience he hopes they have enjoyed this episode as much as the Koreans doing the animation. Dennis Rodman (also as a pacifier) comes and says he is working off a speeding ticket. Maggie comes back and casts another spell and the credits appear, presumably changing everyone back to normal.<br />

'''Rex Banner''' is a U.S. Treasury officer in Washington, D.C. briefly sent to [[Springfield]] to uphold Prohibition, and to replace [[Clancy Wiggum]] as Chief of Police. His main objective was capturing the "Beer Baron", a rum-runner who was actually [[Homer]]. When this was finally done by Wiggum, Rex was fired, both from his job as chief, and from the main mechanism of punishment for breaking the ancient prohibition law: catapult. During ''[[Trappuccino]]'', he was also seen as part of the angry mob that seeks to kill Homer, indicating that Rex has survived the catapult.<ref>''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''</ref><br />
<br />
== Behind the Laughter ==<br />
Rex Banner was based on Eliot Ness, the Treasury agent who led the famous Prohibition-enforcement team "The Untouchables". His voice is based on Robert Stack's portrayal of Ness in the ''Untouchables'' TV series. His appearance is based on Kevin Costner's portrayal of Ness in the ''Untouchables'' film.<br />

'''Bonfire of the Manatees''' is the first episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki> [[Season 17|seventeenth season]]. It aired September 11, 2005.<br />
<br />
==Synopsis==<br />
[[Marge]] leaves her house after discovering [[Homer]] was filming a dirty film there, and she meets a man that spends his life saving manatees.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
Unable to repay his gambling debts to the [[Mafia]], [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] is forced to let [[Fat Tony]] use the [[742 Evergreen Terrace|Simpson home]] as a set for the "gentlemen's film" "[[Lemony Lick-It's A Series of Horny Events]]", starring [[Carl Carlson|Carl]] and [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]]. Homer sends [[Marge Simpson|Marge]], [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] to "[[Santa's Village]]" to get them out of the way.<br />
<br />
When Marge and the kids return, they discover what is going on and a disgusted Marge walks out, leaving Homer alone with the kids. Before she can be reconciled with Homer, Marge meets [[Caleb Thorn|Dr. Caleb Thorn]], a good-looking scientist devoted to saving the endangered manatee. Homer and the kids go to stay with their "country cousins" while looking for Marge (their dog is [[Santa's Little Helper]]'s brother) who turn out to be much more modern and sophisticated than Homer believes. Meanwhile, Caleb helps Marge realise that Homer is the same man she fell in love with - the only problem is that she still expects him to change. Homer tries to win Marge back by saving a herd of manatees from a gang of jet skiers. He manages to talk the gang into leaving but is overheard calling them "Rubes". The gang turns around and starts beating up Homer. Despite his attempts to organise the manatees to attack the gang, they all flee. Luckily, Homer's country cousin shows up with a notarized court order which puts paid to the gang. Impressed, Marge declares she is taking home "the real endangered species: the devoted husband."<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
[[Al Jean]] originally pitched the idea of an episode based around the Simpsons rescuing manatees in 2003 during the writers' retreat sessions for ''[[The Simpsons Movie]]''. Although not used in the movie, the idea eventually became an episode in its own right.<ref>{{cite news |author = Dan Snierson |title = Homer's Odyssey |work = Entertainment Weekly |url = http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20035285_20035331_20047512_3,00.html |accessdate=2008-08-29 |date=2007-07-20}}</ref><br />
