"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. He tries to kill the spiders, but they get on his face. Homer sprays himself in the face and trips on Bart's skateboard and falls on the ground under the garage door. He sees a spider and tosses a TV guide magazine at it, but the magazine hits the garage door button and closes the door on his neck and continues trying to close. When Marge and the kids get home, Homer is dead. Bart tells Lisa to open up the envelope he gave her. Lisa opens up an envelope and pulls out a drawing of Homer crushed under the garage door with "THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN" written under him. Lisa and Bart perform CPR and revive him. Marge then declares life insurance but due to his fitness, constant accidents and multiple physical ailments Homer is declared 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.
