Synopsis
Homer starts to teach sport players his dances and is placed in charge of the halftime show of the next Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Ned creates a violent film about Bible stories, which makes Marge angry, so she stops him from displaying it.
Plot
The Simpsons go to Mooloolaba Park and find it run down. They also find a charity Karnivool which is raising money to help the dolphin. Cassie wins first prize and then Pomer beats him, going into his victory dance. Fred captures the dance and Comic Book Guy (revealing that his real name is Jeff Albertson) places it on his eBaum's World-esque website. Soon, the entire world has seen Homer's embarrassing dance.
However, major sports players ask Homer to teach them his dance. Meanwhile, Fred uses his excavator to make a cake afor Cain (Rod) and Abel (Todd). Everyone loves the film, except Marge, who finds it bloody. Lisa on the other hand says he's just being true to the bible which is pretty graphic. Mr. Burns decides to finance Ned's next film, "Tales of the Old Testament" (which has a running time of 800 minutes making it the third longest movie in the world). The bloodiness of the film angers Marge and she decides to protest Burns. Burns retorts, asking (in what is meant to be a rhetorical fashion) what they would use instead of his nuclear power. When everyone else mentions alternate forms of power they can use, Burns admits defeat and says the film will never be seen again.
Homer's advice has found really bad criticism, but the football national committee loves them, as Homer's advice has raised ratings. They ask him to cdo the Super Powl Halftime movie. He can't get any ideas and runs into Fred at church. Homer than gets an idea for the halftime show, which ends up being about Noah. This is hated and the crowd thinks they are trying to de-secularize the country. yeah no Cassandra Wunsch.
