Plot

After vandalizing the school's new weather balloon, Bart is punished by having to help Skinner while he goes sky watching. When he leaves briefly to catch the weather balloon, Bart messes with the telescope and finds a comet and reports it. However, the comet comes too close and is going to decimate the town, so they launch a rocket to stop it, but it misses and blows up the only bridge out of town, leaving the townsfolk doomed. They all decide to go to a bomb shelter, one that belongs to Ned Flanders. The bomb shelter is to cramped and so the inhabitants decide to evict Ned from the shelter. To pass the time they play a guessing game but this makes them argue. Tired of being cramped the wole group of people abandon the shelter and join Ned Flanders. The comet burns up in the atmosphere and shrinks to the size of a chawawa head hits it hits the shelter causing it to collapse.

Quotes

  • Skinner: "Still no sighting. You get that one, Bart?"
  • Bart: "Hell no."
  • Skinner: "Good."
  • Skinner: "Look, there's "The Three Wisemen"."

{points to a constellation of, what looks like, The Three Stooges}

  • [The kids of Springfield Elementary look out the window at the oncoming comet, clearly visible in the daylight]
  • Email: "Oh no no, this isn't right at all!"
  • Database: 'It must be coming at us at a fantastic speed!"

Trivia

  • Everyone getting angry and wanting to come into Flander's shelter is a a reference to "The Twilight Zone" episode, "The Shelter".
  • For a couple of seconds when Homer tries to get the shelter door shut when everyone gets in, Waldo from "Where's Waldo" appears rather obtrusively on the left half of the screen.
