Dialogue
Pt. 1
| After starting the update
|
|
Ah, the coffee break: the sweet spot between beer breakfast and lager lunch.
|
|
If you're looking for donuts, forget about it. Burns is on another health kick: all we got is Kombucha and kale.
|
|
No donuts?! This isn't like health insurance, you can't just take it away!
|
| Task: "Make Homer Take a Personal Day". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 3 hours.
|
|
You left work and came all the way home just for donuts?!
|
|
|
Some men climb mountains, some explore the oceans depths; I brave traffic in search of the elusive baker's dozen of delicacies!
|
|
Oh, for the love of… Just go buy some from the Lard Lad.
|
|
The tire store?
|
|
It's a donut store!
|
|
Really?! No wonder the pink tread on my car tires wore right off.

New Lard Lad
|
|
Pt. 2
| After completing Pt. 1
|
|
|
Have I travelled back to a time before giant boys walked the earth?! Where's the Lard Lad statue?
|
|
Relax, folks. I'm Robert Chan, CEO of Tianjin Mining and Smelting and Donuts. I'm here with the flesh-and-blood Lard Lad to announce that we're sunsetting his likeness and rebranding with something fresh and modern.
|
|
Isn't "sunsetting" just corporate doublespeak for "killing off?"
|
|
Makeup on the old mug ain't a bad idea. Maybe I'll do some re-Moe-deling. Youse corporate suits always got good ideas up your sleeves.
|
|
Someday I'll have sleeves.
|
|
|
To commemorate the unveiling of our new icon, we've partnered with local businesses to offer gift cards, redeemable at all Lard Lad locations.
|
|
|
As a reviled member of the local business community… I'll pass.

Pt. 3
| After completing Pt. 2
|
|
Since I'm flush with gift cards, this Prince of Plastic demands four dozen of your finest donuts, please.
|
|
Sorry sir, all these are only good for one donut. Our prices went up to reflect the ostentatious image of our new brand.
|
|
|
What the EpiPen?! A business charging more for the same product?
|
|
Maybe I should glitz up the Quimby image. A little flash might help detract from all my 'er, many broken promises.
|
|
|
If rap culture and the Catholic church have taught us anything, it's that nothing says "classy" like solid gold everything.

|
Must find… alternative donut. Calories dwindling… pants loosening… shirt buttons relaxing…
|
|
|
Apu, a dozen donuts, stat! Insert directly into this patient's donut hole
|
|
Sorry, Mister Homer, but the health inspector was coming, so I donated my old donuts to the food bank.
|
|
Awwww! The needy get all the breaks!
|
|
|
Moe, I normally look to you to get fried but now I need that “fried” to be donuts.
|
|
|
Sorry, all I got is a pickled egg with the yolk missin'. Damn rats love my yolks!
|
|
|
Let the rats have their yolks. I'll find my own donuts.

Cinnabun

Pt. 5
| On September 25 and after completing Pt. 4
|
|
|
These new donuts are great! There's “fresh rebranded” flavor in every bite.
|
|
They're snackable, munchable, swallowable and a bunch of other “ables” that I'll make up later!
|
|
Damn my voracious donut envy! Gimme one!
|
|
|
Sorry sir, the price has gone up again. Just like college tuition, if something is more expensive, it makes people want it more.
|
|
|
As a Springfield College grad, I say that's stupid! Now gimme-gimme!!
|

New Lard Lad Statue
|
|
Pt. 6
| After completing Pt. 5
|
|
You tore down my image for this?! Someone tell me where the face is on this thing so I can spit in it!
|
|
It's like a Salvador Dali sculpture gone horribly wrong.
|
|
The statue may be a melted mess but these new donuts are great. I can feel the dark donut-less cloud lifting from over my head.
|
|
That's the actual clouds, Dad. Look, the sun is coming out.
|
|
The Cronenbergian monstrosity has become a thermodynamic weapon!
|
|
Snell's bells! Refraction claims another victim, with the focused light and the BURNing!
|
|
Well, this was a bust. At least we managed to drum up business with all the hype.
|
|
|
Actually sir, we haven't made a single cent. Everyone's been paying with the free gift cards.
|
|
Recall those cards before Tianjin Mining and Smelting and Donuts stock plummets and we're bought out!
|
|
Hellooo…
