Unfortunately, a mix-up results in Marge getting breast implants, which were intended for one of [[Mayor Quimby]]'s interns. The doctor says that Marge must wait for 48 hours before the implants can be removed, and Marge is furious with the new implants.
 
 
 
Meanwhile, Bart and [[Milhouse]] watch an old episode of ''{{W|Batman (TV series)|Batman}}'', featuring [[Krusty]] as a villain named [[ClownFace]], who threatens Batman and Robin with a rapidly spinning carousel of death. Bart and Milhouse like the idea and are inspired to recreate the stunt, with Bart putting Milhouse on a merry-go-round in school. Otto uses the bus to kick-start the merry-go-round, spinning it at an incredible speed. The bolts give way and the merry-go-round goes flying through the air, knocking over the school flag. After the merry-go-round comes to rest, a dizzy Milhouse vomits on the flag, shocking a group of {{W|Battle of Iwo Jima|Iwo Jima}} veterans who are visiting the school. Bart explains to [[Principal Skinner]] that he saw Krusty do the stunt on TV, and in response, Skinner leads a group protesting against Krusty, who is now seen as a dangerous influence to children. Krusty’s show is revamped to exclude all possibly dangerous elements, destroying the show's popularity with children.

Synopsis[edit]

"Marge mistakenly receives breast implants, to her dismay, and embarks on a new career as a trade show model. Meanwhile, a stunt by Bart results in a public-image problem for Krusty, and Bart hatches a plan to help him. Bart's plan goes awry, but Marge's enhanced assets end up saving the day."


Plot[edit]

Lisa and Homer are watching a historical documentary and make a bet on who will win the 1948 U.S. Presidential election. Homer makes the mistake of believing the polls that predicted victory for Governor Dewey, so Lisa wins the bet and she gets to choose the activity for Daddy-Daughter Day. Her activity is taking part a building project for Domiciles for the Destitute alongside former U.S. Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George H. W. Bush. While painting, Homer attempts to create a similar alias to Bart's El Barto, but the idea backfires when a Gay Latino man mistakes Homer for a homosexual due to the alias. Homer frantically paints over his graffiti tag, and takes off his wedding ring to keep from getting paint on it (he also admits that he had to make a crude imitation of a wedding ring from aluminum strips and Band-Aids because the real ring was swallowed by a turtle). Lindsay Naegle and Cookie Kwan mistakenly think that Homer is recently divorced and begin flirting with Homer.

Marge, driving by, sees Homer appearing to flirt with the women (but he is actually explaining how she gave birth to Bart). Marge worries that Homer has lost interest in her, so on Manjula's advice she decides to get liposuction. Unfortunately, a mix-up results in Marge getting breast implants, which were intended for one of Mayor Quimby's interns. The doctor says that Marge must wait for 48 hours before the implants can be removed, and Marge is upset with the inconvenient new implants, which prevent Maggie from cuddling with her mother.

Meanwhile, Bart and Milhouse watch an episode of Batman, featuring Krusty as a villain named ClownFace, who captures Batman and Robin by a rapidly spinning carousel of death. Bart and Milhouse like the idea and are inspired to recreate the stunt, with Bart putting Milhouse on a merry-go-round in school. Otto uses the bus to kick-start the merry-go-round, spinning it at an incredible speed. The bolts give way and the merry-go-round goes flying through the air, knocking over the school flag. After the merry-go-round stops, a dizzy Milhouse vomits on the flag, shocking a pair of Iwo Jima veterans who are visiting the school. Bart explains to Principal Skinner that he saw Krusty do the stunt on TV, and in response, Skinner leads a group protesting against Krusty, who is now seen as a very dangerous influence to children. Krusty's show is revamped to exclude all dangerous elements, destroying the show's popularity with children.

The lobsters at Luigi's check out Marge's new figure.

After coming home from her surgery, Marge realizes that her large breasts are making her life difficult, as they get in the way when she tries to do things like open the cupboard and pick up Maggie to comfort her when she falls down.

She also finds herself being ogled, pinched and leered at by every man in Springfield.

At the Springfield Shoe Expo, Marge is further humiliated by lustful men while promoting shoehorns. At the same time, Bart makes a plan to help Krusty to win back his popularity, using Milhouse and Stampy the elephant. The plan is for Stampy to appear to threaten Milhouse while Bart calls for help.
