Synopsis[edit]
- Homer revitalizes Bumblebee Man's career when he becomes his secret stuntman. But how much punishment can a Stunt-Bee take before it starts to sting?
Plot[edit]
Bart and other kids are playing baseball, and when Üter gets struck out, Comic Book Guy picks on him. However, Mr. Zörker is sitting next to him, and once Comic Book Guy keeps insulting Üter, they get into a fight. Police try to take Mr. Zörker into their car, but he pushes them in instead, with the kids commenting on how he's a badass and then starting to argue about whose father is better. Bart tries to make Homer look good, but he is standing on a table, scared of a goose. Disappointed, later at home, Bart watches Homer watch The Great Masked British Bake Off on TV and proposes that they go watch a MMA fight at the Springfield Brawliseum. Homer tries to refuse and tells him to go with Lisa, but Marge threatens him with doing laundry if he doesn't bond with Bart, so he accepts.
At the arena, Homer gets humiliated when he is shown on camera eating cotton candy during the "Most macho fan" camera moment and tries to kiss it like he's on Kiss cam, embarrassing Bart. When Bart tells him about it, Homer loses his balance and falls down the stairs all the way to the ring, where he falls on the martial artists, pinning them and winning the match. He is applauded by the audience, and Bumblebee Man invites him for dinner at the ¡Ay Carumba! Mexican Restaurant. After complimenting Homer, he tells them the story of how he set off to be an actor instead of a comedian, but instead of being brought to Hollywood by a money-hungry coyote, he was brought to Springfield.
He then gets hired at Channel Ocho as a cleaning man, but when an accident happens and he is put in his costume, people start laughing at what happened and his speech. Someone from the crew tells him he's going to be a star, and Bumblebee Man is born. He thinks he is invincible, but injuries to his body stump his career. After seeing what Homer did at the arena, he asks him to become his stunt double, and Homer accepts. He starts, and it is a success. The ratings start to ramp up, while Homer gets hit hard by the stunts. At the East Springfield Swap Meet, when a kid asks to hit Bumblebee Man with a crowbar, he refuses, saying it's a union thing, and tells her she can hit Homer instead.
Homer comes back home with a bump on his head and starts getting double vision, along with fractured ribs, but he is happy to be hugged by Bart, who complains about not being able to brag about it to his friends thanks to the non-disclosure agreement signed by Homer. At the Russo & Flank Grill, Homer and Bumblebee Man congratulate each other on the work, but when Homer goes to the bathroom to pee blood, Bumblebee Man meets Johnny Knoxville from Jackass. Johnny tells him that his body can't take it anymore on the job and that the studio suggested using a stuntman, but he has refused, showing Bumblebee Man that he still has integrity.
Bumblebee Man starts doubting his choices, saying he's a fraud and a liar. He starts considering quitting, but Alejandro González Iñárritu appears on his porch, having found the script for the movie Bee-va Mexico, which was scrapped by many when Bumblebee Man proposed it, and Bumblebee Man accepts. At the Hall of Mexcellence in Mexico City, after the press conference, he reveals his lie to Alejandro. Homer starts filming, but his family gets concerned when he gets back to the hotel badly injured, and they expose the ruse on TV.
When exposed, Bumblebee Man asks everyone to watch him film live as he falls down the stairs of the Teotihuacan. Homer tries to convince him at the top of the building and succeeds, but when they try to go back down, the tears in their eyes make them slip and start falling down the stairs. Afterwards, at the Tacos Omeyocan, they find out they are in a coma and start enjoying a pause from everything.
