Episode Information
Showrunner: [[{{{showrunner}}}]]



"Marge's Son Poisoning" is the fifth episode in Season 17 of The Simpsons.

Synopsis

Marge buys a bicycle built for two. However, Homer and Bart ignore her. Eventually, Bart feels sorry for Marge and they begin using the bike together, until bullies accuse Bart of becoming a mama's boy. Bart begins to ignore Marge, but when he sees how sad she is, he becomes over-eager to please. After seeing Skinner's relationship with his mother, Marge encourages Bart to make his own way in life, not wanting him to turn out like that.

Meanwhile, Homer's right arm gets much stronger with constant dumbbell lifting. Moe takes advantage of Homer's newfound right-armed strength through hustling and enters him in a series of hillbilly arm wrestling tournaments.

Trivia

  • During the talent show, Apu is singing Paula Cole's "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone".

Cultural References

  • The store Marge and Bart go to is called "The China Syndrome". A "china syndrome" is a catastrophic nuclear accident and a 1979 movie of the same name.
  • The Tea Shop Marge and Bart go to, named "The Leaf Garrett Tea Shop" is a reference to Leif Garrett, a teen idol, actor and singer popular in the 1970s.
  • In the "attack of the couches" couch gag, Professor Frink's couch loosely resembles a war machine from The War of the Worlds.
  • At the tree house Marge shows a comic of Radioactive Man "side-by-side with Pelé", a famous Brazilian soccer player.
