Plot[edit]
Wild Barts Can't Be Token[edit]
At the Springfield Museum of Art, Mayor Quimby announces that the museum is being closed forever and the art is being digitized and turned into NFTs. Meanwhile, Homer and Bart sneak into the museum to turn the Scene from Moby Dick picture into an NFT, and Bart decides to turn himself mooning into an NFT. However, they don't realize that the E-Z Funge Art Digitizer destroys the art that it digitizes. Bart's body gets destroyed as he is sent to the blockchain. When Homer reveals this to Marge, Marge is horrified. However, Kylie Jenner, Rob Gronkowski, and Jimmy Fallon show up and tell Marge that she must enter the blockchain herself to get Bart back.
Marge goes to the museum where she gets given a key to the backdoor of the blockchain by Kylie Jenner. Marge then enters the E-Z Funge Art Digitizer and gets digitized. When she arrives in the blockchain, she finds that she's in the rear carriage of a train carrying other worthless NFTs. She is told that she can't move further along the train to where Bart is, but she tries to open the door anyway. After falling onto another NFT and killing it, her value goes up. Marge is sent to the next carriage on the train where she is told by the cat NFTs that if she increases her value by destroying other NFTs, she will get to the front of the train. Marge then proceeds to make her way through the train, killing all NFTs along the way.
In the real world, Kirk and Chief Wiggum decide to turn Milhouse and Ralph into NFTs, wanting to get in on the money. They put the children into the E-Z Funge Art Digitizer together and they come out on the blockchain merged together. Marge then kills them and continues on to the front carriage of the train. Marge finds Bart, who is enjoying the luxury life he has on the train. Marge tries to convince Bart to leave with her while Mr. Burns tries to convince Homer to sell Bart to him. Homer hits the sell button just as Marge and Bart escape, with Lisa revealing that Homer sold himself as an NFT. Homer begins to enjoy his new life on the train until it stops as the NFT craze has ended, leaving him and all other NFTs worthless. He then shouts "D'oh" so loudly, it causes an avalanche that buries the train, trapping him and all the NFTs.

When Lisa goes to leave, Bob starts to recite a limerick about killing Bart, causing Lisa to angrily say that he will die in his cell and she will be dancing when he does. At Sherri's funeral, Terri reveals that Sherri was the older twin, which leads to Lisa figuring out that all the victims were the first born children. She also realizes that Bob left a hint with the "anagram" comment and she and Nelson go to Ana Gram's Spooky Abandoned Slaughterhouse to find the killer.

Homer is trying to eat donuts in the turbine room at the Power Plant when Smithers tells him not to. Homer complains about the country becoming a "nanny state" before he drops one of his donuts, which starts to roll away. Homer chases the donut through the Power Plant, as it gets covered with radioactive waste and dirt. When he finally catches up to the donut, he eats it. That night, the donut starts to mutate Homer's DNA. The next morning, he goes to get Ned's newspaper, which Ned brings out to him. Homer burps in Ned's face, causing him to feel unwell. Later that day, at Church, Ned starts to feel worse before he starts to transform into a clone of Homer. Ned then burps into the church, infecting everyone else.
The virus spreads through town, causing everyone to become stupid and lazy. Bart, Lisa, and Maggie are unaffected due to being Homer's children, so they are taken by Professor Frink to help find their father and stop the outbreak. After failing to find him at Moe's Tavern, they remember that he ate at Ray's House of Beaks the previous night, so he would be in the toilet at Sudsy's Car Wash. When they get there, Homer asks why he would want to make everything go back to normal again as the world was a utopia to him now. Professor Frink then reveals that Marge has become infected too, but Homer finds her more beautiful than before. As Professor Frink goes to call in a nuke on Springfield, Homer accidentally rips his protecting suit with a backscratcher, causing Frink to become infected too.
