Plot
Bart is left home alone after the rest of the family go out for frozen yogurt at Pinkbeardy Yogurt. After watching an episode of Itchy and Scratchy named "The Great Brawl of China", Bart gets bored and ties his skateboard to the ceiling fan by a long rope and takes the rope through the house. He then turns the fan on and it drags him through the house, destroying a lot of furniture in the process.
When the family return home, they find the house in a wreck and are angry. Homer tells Bart that he will not get his frozen yogurt but Marge tells him that Homer ate it in the car. They are then interrupted by the doorbell going off. The door is answered by Herman Melwood who tells them that he wants to make Angry Dad into a movie. He then introduces himself as owner of the company that make the Aerochair.
He tells the family that the company that owned Angry Dad, BetterThanTV.com, ordered a lot of their chairs but were unable to pay for them. Therefore, he repossessed the only thing they had, the online shows. This included Space Penis, Geena Davis Internet Project 1999, John Stankworth, Fart Detective and The Adventures of Parody Man. However, Angry Dad was the only one they were interested in.
In the animation studio, they find out that the original voice of Angry Dad, Dan Castellaneta, lost his voice after screaming and shouting after finding out he wasn't going to get paid. Bart then asks Homer to become the new voice of Angry Dad and he accepts. Homer doesn't turn up for table reading of the script and was lazy in recording the movie. When they first show the movie, people hate it, boo it and someone starts shouting "turn it off, turn it off". It was then suggested that Bart cut the movie down to a short film, which he does.
Luigi Rissotto comes round the Simpsons house to tell them that Angry Dad: The Movie was being nominated for a Golden Globe. The Simpsons go to the awards ceremony where Bart and Lisa meet Mixar who realizes that they are the competition and tells them that they've got an enemy. Russell Brand announces the award for best animated short film and Angry Dad wins, beating Condiments, The Brothers of Boeville and Saakashvili Spring. Bart gets up to claim the award but Homer gets there first and claims it. Bart is shocked by this.
They then go to the Children's Choice Awards, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Playboy Mansion and Kennedy Center Honors, all of which Homer hijacks from Bart. This leaves Bart angry at Homer and when he finds out that Angry Dad has been nominated for an Oscar, he doesn't tell Homer but instead gives him a list of places to go in Los Angeles, including the Watts Towers. Homer plinks the towers, causing them all to wobble. A car then pulls up and DJ Kwanzaa tells them not to do that before another person realizes that Homer is Angry Dad and asks him why he isn't at the Oscars. Rolling 80 the give them a lift to the Oscars.
Angry Dad: The Movie wins another award here, beating Condiments and Willis & Crumble in Better Gnomes and Gardens. Bart goes up to make a speech and stops, realizing that he isn't the only person who helped make the movie. He then gives everyone credit and cuts up the award into bits, giving each bit to the crew. He then asks if they can get another award but Homer says that eBay are full of them. Maggie is then seen sucking on one.
Production

Guest voices include Halle Berry, Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand, Nick Park and J. B. Smoove.
Reception
The episode has received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics[2] and fans[3]
