Football is the eleventh Simpsons short. It aired on The Tracey Ullman Show on October 18, 1987 .
Plot
Homer and Bart attempt to catch a football, and Homer offers him milkshakes for doing so. At one point, he dodges a fence, a ditch and a dog, before falling down the cliff in a cartoonish fashion.
Once more, Bart attempts to catch the ball, but this time with Lisa and Maggie cheering him on. This time, Bart catches the ball, in his mouth. As he goes to pick up chocolate milkshakes, he still has the ball in his mouth. Homer says that if Bart won't drink it, he will. Lisa then gives Bart's mouth a small opening for him to drink the milkshake.
