Synopsis
Opening segment
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.
B.I.: Bartificial Intelligence
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, 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. A priest comes and splashes water on Homer who begins to preform the exorcist movements and music, and climbs up on the ceiling. The episode ends as Homer lunges, drooling, at the camera.
Survival of the Fattest
In a parody of The Most Dangerous Game Homer, Lenny, Carl, and the rest of the gang come to Mr. Burns' mansion to go hunting. Unbeknownst to them, they are the prey to be hunted by Burns. After his lawyer writes something that "should work in just about every courtroom" (and is then shot by Burns), he gives everyone five minutes vantage, 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 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.
I've Grown a Costume on Your Face
The citizens of Springfield dress in their Halloween costumes for a costume contest. A wicked 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, Bart into a wolf-man, 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.
Quotes
Opening Segment
- 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.
Kang: This is the most boring game in all the universe!
Kodos: And with all those steroids they take they look like freaks!
Both: Freaks! Freaks! Freaks! (A small minuture version of Kodos' head appears on Kodos' neck)
Mini Kodos: Freaks! Freaks! (Kodos bites it off and eats it.)
- Kang: If we don't speed this game up, the Simpsons' Halloween Special will not air until Administrative Professionals' Day!
Kodos: Speaking of which, we must remember to get Dorothy something. (holds up a framed picture of Kang and Kodos with an attractive woman)
- Kang: The boredom is excruciating! Fire the Accele-Ray!
(the flying saucer then fires the Accele-Ray at Earth, which causes the game to go faster)
Announcer: Strike out, left field. And some kind of Accele-Ray has bathed the stadium in an eerie green glow.
Kang: It's still boring! Faster!
Kodos: But the fabric of the universe itself may shatter!
Kang: Good! Only then could the Cubs will finally win! (Kodos makes the Accele-Ray go faster) - Kodos: (after the fabric of the universe shatters) Smooth move, space laxs! You've destroyed the totality of existents!
- Kang:It will be fine. I'll just leave a note. (Hangs a post-it note saying Trehouse of Horror XVI)
B.I.: Bartificial Intelligence
- 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!
Dr. Hibbert: And a robot would keep your mind off your dead son.
Marge: I thought he was in a coma!
Dr. Hibbert: They're pretty much the same thing except this way I get to keep billing you!
Marge: You already said that!
Dr. Hibbert: Well you didn't laugh the first time!
- Homer: Now, I'm a man who likes to strangle his son...
Sarcastic Man: Go ahead.
Homer: WHY YOU METAL!! (begins strangling David) Wow! The windpipe is so responsive!
- David: Bart, we can be friends.
Bart: Eat my shorts!
David: I will comply.
(David eats Barts shorts and then processes them into a teddy bear for Maggie)
Homer (taking off his pants): Make me a kitty!
- Bart-tron: I'm home!
Marge: You told me he was at culinary school.
Homer: You wanted to believe the lie!
- Bart-tron: Time to destroy the one who did this to me!
David: To get me, you will have to go through your fath...
(David holds up Homer...and Bart slices them both)
Homer (After being cut in half): Oh, those were my good pants!
- 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)
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.
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)
Marge: I'll call work and tell them he can't make it.
Homer: Woo-hoo! (Falls onto the bed on his belly with his head pointing to the ceiling) He, he, he. Suckers.
Survival of the Fattest
- Burns' invitation: Mr. Burns is inviting you to a hunting party. (sinister laugh)
- Lisa: Don't accept this invitation dad. Hunting is cruel!
Homer: Lisa, animals don't feel death. That was proven by the scientists at Black Angus!
Bart: No fair! Dad gets to kill wild animals, but I shoot one bird and I have to go to a psychiatrist!
Marge: He still thinks that hobo was a bird.
- Burns: Now, since I am so kind, I will give you a five minutes' head-start. You may commence running!
Comic Book Guy: Five minutes of running? Just shoot me now! (Burns does so)
Burns: Well, that broke the ice. Whoever lives to noon tomorrow shall win his freedom!
Pasty-faced Lawyer: Excuse me. What gives you the right to do this?
Burns: You tell me. You are my lawyer.
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.
Burns: Excellent. (kills the lawyer) - Burns: I smell fear, mixed with curry.
- Apu (after getting shot by Burns): Ah,you got me. But I shall be reincarnated. (dies, then a rabbit with Apu's face appears)
Rabbit Apu: Ha, ha! You can't kill a Hindu! (his foreleg gets caught in a bear trap) Ah! Help me Jesus!
- Shows Homer running away from Burns while Burns is shooting him. A TV show logo appears.
Logo: "The World Series of Manslaughter"
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)
Lisa: Mom! Mr. Burns is going to kill Dad!
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.)
TV Guide: Must Flee TV.
- TV Announcer: And here with his take on tonight's bloodthirsty action, here's guest Terry Bradshaw. Terry.
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)
Krusty: Dying is just like golfing, except in golf- (Burns keeps shooting Krusty)
Terry Bradshaw: Aw, you hate to see that. That's the kind of showboating that'll put people off this sport!
- 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)
- Lenny (after getting shot by Burns' plane): Carl, I see Heaven.
Carl: What does it look like?
(we then see Lenny's vision: a Heaven with thousands of angels who look like Carl)
Carl angels: Hurry up, Lenny. We'll be late for work at the plant! (Lenny dies happily)
I've Grown a Costume on Your Face
- Mayor Quimby: And our finalist, Blacula.
Dr. Hibbert: Good lord! Just because I'm black and I'm dressed as Dracula that makes me Blacula? My wife told me not to go as Dracula but I say "Bernice, we live the 21st century times have changed".
Quimby (to bodyguard): Get him the standard racial apology letter. It's in the middle drawer. - Apu: Sucker! 25 dollars won't buy you a Balance bar! I exaggerate, but my prices are very high.
- Mayor Quimby (to the witch): Now, which one of our beloved regulars are you? Lindsey Naegle? Helen Lovejoy? Old Jewish Man?
Old Jewish Man: No, I'm here. I'm dressed as my brother Irving. Everyday I miss him.
Witch: Well, this is kind of awkward, because I'm not wearing a costume. I'm a real witch! (Everybody gasps)
Carl: Wait a minute. That's cheating!
Sideshow Mel: Burn her! (Pauses) ...gift certificate!
- Witch: Good luck getting your deposits back on those costumes!
- Grandpa: Look at me! I'm a hip, young, strapping gorilla! (Starts swinging from the telephone wires, but misses one wire and falls down, hurting himself. Dr. Dracula appears)
Dr. Dracula: Off we go to the gorilla hospital. (they fly off)
Grandpa: That's it, suck the poison out. Hey wait. Aaaaaah!
