"Homer's Night Out"

Episode Information

Plot
Bart purchases a miniature spy camera from a mail-order catalog, which arrives six months later. Bart uses it to take candid photos around the house, including ones of Homer and Marge during their private time.
Later, Homer announces he's going to a bachelor party for Eugene Fisk, his supervisor at the power plant (formerly, his assistant). Marge decides to take the children to the Rusty Barnacle, a seafood restaurant where Fisk's bachelor party is taking place (in a separate area known as Davy Jones' Locker). Fisk and his father clearly are uncomfortable and want to leave, particularly when a sexy belly dancer named Princess Kashmir arrives. When Kashmir is unable to arouse the Fisks, Homer is invited onstage to dance with her. Homer has a great time dancing with Princess Kashmir. Bart later investigates the noisy party, sees that his father is onstage putting money in Kashmir's G-string and snaps a photo with his spy camera. Homer: "This is the most fun I've had in my entire life!"
At school, Bart joins the camera club. President Martin compliments Bart for the picture of Homer dancing with Princess Kashmir and asks to have a copy. Bart refuses, but gives one to Milhouse. Milhouse promptly gets requests for a copy of the picture, and it isn't long before everyone in Springfield has one. Marge sees a copy of the picture at her aerobics class and furiously rips it from the wall.
Later, Homer is on his way home from work, oblivious to what others are referring to when they make sly remarks about his sexual prowess. But when Homer opens the front door, Marge immediately shoves the picture in his face and demands an explanation. Bart admits he took the picture. Marge sends Bart to his room and, after scolding Homer, shoves a hastily half-packed suitcase his way and kicks him out of the house.
Homer eventually spends the night at Barney's poorly kept apartment. The next day – after enduring questioning from Mr. Burns about the picture – Homer goes home to apologize. But Marge doesn't want an apology; she wants Homer to take Bart to meet Princess Kashmir and show that women are not sex objects.
Left with no other alternative, Homer and Bart scour the strip clubs of Springfield to find Princess Kashmir. Eventually, they track her down at the Sapphire Lounge. Homer introduces himself and Bart to Kashmir, who is preoccupied with getting onstage for her performance. However, Homer accidentally finds himself on stage for the night's feature attraction: dancing by scantily-clad women from all nations. Homer, however, manages to make a plea to the audience to treat women with respect. Marge, who is in the audience, accepts Homer's comments and the two make up.
Trivia
- Homer weighs 239lbs.
- First appearance of Carl and Lenny.However, both Carl and Lenny's voices sound different in this episode. In fact the characters traded voice actors: Carl was voiced by Harry Shearer and Lenny was voiced by Hank Azaria.
- This is also the first appearance of Apu.
- Princess Kashmir is also known as April Flowers, but her real name is Shauna Tifton.
- Princess Kashmir is seen again in Lisa's Pony, where she is dating Apu.
- The copier's price is 5 cents on a sign, but 10 cents next to the coin slot, and Milhouse actually puts a penny in.
- When showing Barney his house, Homer says that someone must have left the porch light on, but the Simpson family doesn't even have a porch.
- When Homer and Barney are looking out Barney's home's window, the lights of the city is similar to the shape of Marge's angry face.
- Names of strip clubs Homer and Bart go to include "Florence of Arabia" (spoofing Lawrence of Arabia) and "Girlesque" (a play on the word "burlesque", a synonym for a strip club), in addition to the names "Foxy Boxing" and "Mud City", where Homer meets Princess Kashmir.
- This is one of the few times that Homer ends up being strangled for doing something stupid or bad (something he usually does with Bart). He is strangled by Marge, who even paraphrases his remark before strangling bart (Marge: Why you big... (strangles Homer).). Ironically, she does this just as Homer is about to strangle Bart.
