"Mobile Homer" is the thirteenth episode of The Simpsons' sixteenth season.
Plot
Marge takes the kids on a random and pointless Sunday drive but Homer gets out of it by cleaning the garage. Homer however barely does anything and tries to kill the spiders with spider poison but it instead sprays his face and then Homer tosses a TV guide at the garage door button and closes the door on his face. When Marge and the kids get home Homer is dead as Bart predicted but Lisa luckily revives him. Marge then declares life insurance but due to his fitness, comstant accidents and multiple physical ailments Homer is uninsurable. Marge then watches a movie (which claims to be based on a true story) on TV known as "From Homemaker to Homeless" about a rich housewife who becomes poor, insane, and ugly after her husband dies of a stroke and she has no life insurance. Marge then gets a nest egg to pay for Homer's insurance and buys imitation brands of cereal, soup, coffee, forces Bart and Lisa to wear church charity clothing to school, and has Homer bring his own drinks to Moe's Tavern. Homer is then kicked out for bringing an outside drink and decides since the nest egg is making his life miserable he should purchase something cool. Homer then buys a fully loaded RV which he has the kids living in as well.
Homer then goes to a gas station where he meets a couple based on George and Martha from Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf and Homer then invites them and their friends to his backyard. However, they are getting of Marge's nerves and Homer loses a bunch of valuable friends after Marge cuts out the power. Marge and Homer then get into a fight and Bart and Lisa have no choice to take the RV back to the dealership.
Marge and Homer then follow Bart and Lisa to the dealership in the car. The bad thing is though Bart and Lisa miss the dealership and end up on the freeway and the map for the dealership is The Flinstones Fun Map which has a note saying "Dino short for dinosaur? Remember to Ask Jeeves.". They soon get into more trouble when they end up on a Turkish import ship and are about to be taken to Turkey. Marge however gets them to stop by giving them the 300 cans she bought and then tosses the RV in the water while Cowboy Bob blabbers on about his victory.
