!!179 - "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E1TheCityOfNewYorkVsHomerSimpson The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson]]"
* Barney had been distraught the entire night, since he wasn't allowed to drink while everyone else was living it up at Moe's Tavern. Then the Duff Beer Party Brigade decides ''that night'' to show up ''specifically'' for Barney. You can sympathize with his dismayed "[[OhCrap Oh, no...not tonight! Not TONIGHT!]]".
-->''(Everyone in the bar chanting for Barney to chug the big mug of Duff Extra Cold)''\\
'''Barney:''' ''(at RageBreakingPoint)'' '''I CAN'T! ''[[FreakOut I'M THE DESIGNATED DRIVER]]!'''''\\
''(Moe's Tavern comes to [[MoodKiller an immediate grinding halt]])''\\
'''Duffman:''' ''(quickly)'' Yeah, that's swell; Duff wholeheartedly supports the designated driver program. NOW... ''WHO WANTS'' TA ''PARTY?!''\\
''(All patrons but Barney cheer)''
* Homer is drunk and dropped off at his house by (designated driver) Barney Gumble and he says:
-->'''Homer:''' ''(slurring)'' Goodnight, Barney. Don't forget to bring back my car back tomorrow. Just slide it under the door.\\
'''Barney:''' ''[[SanitySlippage (disturbingly calm)]]'' Yeeeess. ''(click)'' Tomorrow.
* Homer describes to the family his first trip to New York City (presumably sometime in the mid-70's judging by the film quality and appearance of the city). He was on his way to the Harrisburg coat outlet to buy an irregular coat, but it required a stopover. While in the borough of Manhattan, Homer is robbed three times in a row (one of those by a cop), a seagull steals his hot dog, garbage is dumped on him by a young Creator/WoodyAllen, and he falls into a sewer while getting chased by a pimp.
-->'''Homer:''' ...and that's when the [[Film/{{CHUD}} C.H.U.D.s]] came at me.
** It really helps that the flashback sequence is set to Scott Joplin's famous piano piece The Entertainer and that Marge adds "That's what everyone thinks of New York when they only focus on the pimps and the [[Film/{{CHUD}} C.H.U.D.s]]".
* The two people in the original World Trade Center towers who shout to Homer. One of them says they stick all the jerks in Tower 1.[[note]](Which is inaccurate as he was shouting from the North Tower which was known as Tower 1.)[[/note]]
** And then the camera pans up to reveal another guy with a clothesline spanning between the towers telling both of them to shut up.
* Homer has a miserable attempt of trying to go to an Original Famous Ray's pizza shop to get a slice of pizza ''without'' leaving his vehicle.[[note]](In real life, the place would be on Church St.)[[/note]]
* The entire scene of Homer and the Klav Kalash cart. Especially funny is "No bowl. Stick. STICK!" and Homer's reaction to the offer of Mountain Dew or crab juice for a drink - "Blecch! Oh, geez... [[TakeThat I'll take a Crab Juice]]." He proceeds to drink at least a dozen of them.
* Homer's ImagineSpot of Flushing Meadows is quite humorous.
* Homer running up both World Trade Center towers (first the South, then the North) to use the men's restroom, only to get his car ticketed again while doing so, leading him to yell "D'OH!" loud enough that the entire city hears it.
* ''Kickin' It: A Musical Journey through the Betty Ford Center'' has the ''You're Checking In'' song.
* While Marge and Lisa forlornly look at expensive shoes, Bart walks off on his own and sees a building holding the offices of [[Magazine/{{MAD}} MAD Magazine]].
-->'''Bart:''' Excuse me, is this MAD Magazine?\\
'''Receptionist:''' No, it's Mademoiselle. We're buying our sign on the installment plan.\\
'''Bart:''' ''(laughs)'' Seriously, though, my name is Bart Simpson. My father has a subscription. I'd like the grand tour, please.\\
'''Receptionist:''' Listen, kid, you probably think lots of crazy stuff goes on in there. But this is just a place of business.\\
'''Bart:''' Oh. Okay. \\
''(Bart turns to leave when Alfred E. Neuman pokes his head out of a door, revealing a lot of crazy stuff going on in the next room)''\\
'''Alfred E. Neuman:''' ''(to the receptionist)'' Get me Kaputnik and Fonebone! I wanna see their drawings for the 'New Kids on the Blech.' ''(Bart's jaw drops)'' And where's my furshlugginer pastrami sandwiches?\\
'''Bart:''' Wow! I will never wash these eyes again.
* Driving through New York with the clamp still on his car, with everyone yelling at him, Homer shouts shut up and turns on the radio to drown them out. However, the song that comes on is Ray Stevens' "Everything Is Beautiful", which instead makes Homer so angry he literally kicks in the radio.
* Homer attempts to get the boot off his car, which including stealing a construction worker's jackhammer.
-->'''Homer:''' ''(to the worker who can't hear him because of the noisy jackhammer)'' Hey! ''Hey!'' '''''HEY!!!'''''\\
'''Worker:''' WHAT?!\\
'''Homer:''' The boss says you're fired.\\
'''Worker:''' I'll get him! ''[walks away]''
* Homer then steals his jackhammer and attempts to use it to get the boot off his car, but just succeeds in ruining his car further. He eventually gets it off and is pleased with himself, but then steps on it, getting it stuck on his foot. He has to kick his car to get it off. All the while, New Yorkers are screaming at him to stop blocking the traffic.
-->'''Homer:''' Thanks for your patience! ''(gunshot hits a street sign, causing Homer to scream and drive off, further damaging the car)''

!!180 - "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E2ThePrincipalAndThePauper The Principal and the Pauper]]"
* For as much flak as that episode got for ruining Principal Skinner's continuity, there's an utterly hilarious moment when the real Seymour Skinner is dealing with his mother. Agnes has been used to having Seymour under her thumb her whole life, so when the new guy actually disobeys her, her reaction is pure gold.
* Armin Tamzarian (the "Principal Skinner" impostor) yelling, "Up yours, children!" as he leaves Springfield.
* Homer's reaction to the news that Principal Skinner is really Armin Tamzarian:
-->''Keep looking shocked and move slowly toward the cake''.
** Meanwhile everyone gasps at TheReveal, while Bart quietly sniggers at the name, clearly annoying Armin.
* A teenaged Armin attempting to take on the Vietcong with a switchblade.
* Armin attempting to find work in Capital City and ends up doing sidealk advertising for a sleazy strip joint. His deadpan delivery of the promotional flyer is just gold, especially when he says [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud "wink suggestively" out loud]]
* The Simpsons and Agnes going all the way to CC to get Armin back, only to find him a washed up drunk in a run down apartment.
* The town's solution to allowing Armin to retake his old position while also letting the real Skinner preserve his dignity as thanks for his military service? Tie Skinner up and ride him out of town on a rail.
--> '''Homer''': And we salute you! Now don't come back!
* When the Simpsons, Edna and Agnes are driving to Capitol City:
-->'''Homer:''' Okay, once more. Where are we going?\\
'''Edna:''' To Capitol City.\\
'''Homer:''' And why are you and the old lady in the car?\\
'''Agnes:''' We're going to talk Armin Tamzarian into coming back.\\
'''Homer:''' And why is Marge here?\\
'''Marge:''' I came up with the idea.\\
'''Homer:''' And why am I here?\\
'''Marge:''' Because the streets of Capitol City are no place for three unescorted ladies.\\
'''Homer:''' And why are the kids here?\\
'''Marge:''' Because we couldn't find Grandpa to sit for them.\\
'''Homer:''' Then why is Grandpa here?\\
'''Grandpa:''' Because Jasper didn't want to come by himself.\\
'''Jasper:''' ''(nods)''\\
'''Homer:''' Eh, fair enough.
* Skinner asking Bart to recite the pledge of Allegiance:

-->'''Homer:''' Uhmm, 2 bucks... [[{{Understatement}} and it only transports matter]].....uhm, well... I'll give you 35 cents.\\
'''Professor Frink:''' Sold!
* Homer's LaboriousLaziness with the transporter, such as moving it to the bathroom upstairs for [[ToiletHumour the sole purpose of being able to take a leak from downstairs]] (thankfully, Marge stops him) and moving it to the kitchen so he can reach for beer from the fridge while watching TV (although he accidentally takes the cat's ear medicine instead; not that he notices).
** Homer's demonstration of how they can bypass the stairs with it. As he emerges at the top, MysteriousMist [[Film/TheFly1986 swirls about]], but also some smoke from the ablaze seat of his pants (again, not that he notices).
* Homer accidentally punches Lisa in the face -- through the transporter! ("It was your mother!") Made even funnier upon realizing where the other booth is: Homer had just moved it to the toilet! The writers later admitted that they forgot about this detail when they wrote the sequence.
* "Have you forgotten our little 'Kerblammo!' talk?"
* Bart as a fly pretends to be caught in a spider's web, in a reference to the ending of [[Film/TheFly1958 the original film]]... but as the spider approaches, he reveals he's only pretending to be stuck, calling it a sucker before he bitchslaps the spider in the face. As he flies off, the spider shakes its fists at him with four of its legs.
* When Bart!Fly explains to Lisa that Fly!Bart isn't really him as everyone assumed, Lisa's pretty upset: "And I let him use my toothbrush!"
* Homer chasing Bart with an axe at the end (after he and the fly are switched back) for messing with the teleportation machine. His lines are hilarious.
--> "I'm gonna chop you good! That cost me fifty cents! You're just making it worse! I promise I won't hurt you!"

** Kent Brockman commentating on the game in the most bored manner possible, while his South American counterpart commentates in an excitable manner with the exact same dialogue.
** Groundskeeper Willie and his Scottish friends think the riot isn't violent ''enough'', and soon join in.
* Marge is very concerned about the safety of the Simpson's house from the aftermath of the soccer riot.

''[Cut to Homer at a local gun store run by Raphael the "Wiseguy"]''\\
'''Homer:''' I'd like to buy your deadliest gun, please.\\
'''Raphael:''' Aisle 6, next to the sympathy cards.
* Homer has to wait five days before he can legally get his gun. [[TimePassesMontage The waiting period montage]], with Music/TomPetty's "The Waiting" playing, has him sitting in front of his house seeing all the things he wants to shoot, but can't: a family of bunnies, a line of baby ducks, a Target store truck, Patty and Selma on a tandem bike, and Ned Flanders on a riding mower (for extra ComedicSociopathy points, Flanders passes by at least twice).
** Homer's best line of the episode is when he learns about the waiting period.
--->'''Homer:''' ''5 days? But I'm mad now!''
* Homer has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tfZ5iwb-mI bizarre]] ImagineSpot when he ponders what would happen if he used to use his gun to rob the Kwik-E-Mart. He becomes a Southern U.S. Senator with a giant plantation, with Marge go-go dancing in a bikini.

* Homer bought a gun, and Marge does not like that:
-->'''Marge:''' I don't want any guns in the house Homer, they only cause accidents! Remember when Maggie shot Mr. Burns?\\
'''Homer:''' [[DiscontinuityNod I thought Smithers did it.]]\\
'''Lisa:''' That would've made a lot more sense...
* Homer gets Lisa's ball down by shooting it. She looks hilariously sad as it deflates. He then asks if she would like him to get the cat down, to which she hastily declines.
* Bart discovers the gun hidden in the veggie crisper in the fridge and decides to play William Tell with Milhouse. Milhouse holds the apple ''[[TooDumbToLive in his mouth]]''.

** In the DVDCommentary, everyone on it realizes that John Swartzwelder hasn't done a commentary yet, so they call him up during recording, and say that they hope that he doesn't sue them after they hang up.
* Homer turns out to be more of a gun nut than the NRA. Double points when he turned on the TV by shooting it with his gun...and the show that came on had a cowboy fall off a roof after getting shot. Let's put it this way: you ''know'' you're in trouble when you're told off by a crabby old lady, a mobster, a hick, your cynical, sleazy bartender friend, and a local kids' show host whose life behind camera is a miserable, seedy one.

'''Abe:''' Nothing yet!\\
''[Maude turns the test up even higher, causing people in the background to cover their ears as they run off. Jasper starts to raise his hand, but Abe shakes his head and so he puts his hand back down]''
* Smithers' stint as a sports announcer in high school ("Okay, that's it for the women's gymnastics team. [[HoYay Now let's bring on the men!"]])
* Homer chases Bart around the backyard -- not because Bart did something wrong (though Bart does think this), but because Homer wants a hug from him.

'''Bart''': I'm dead.
* During one of Homer's games as the coach, he uses an old-school atomic football board to plan his team's strategy:

* Lisa tells Ned she wants to be on the team.
-->'''Lisa:''' That's right. A girl wants to play football! How about that?
** When she finds out that there's already girls on the team, she's not interested anymore. She tries to save face by claiming that of course she wouldn't want to throw around the skin of a dead pig. When Flanders says that the footballs are made of synthetic leather and the proceeds are donated to charity, Lisa runs away crying at not having the moral high ground.
* Homer calls into the talk radio station and asks them a question about Flanders. They immediately hang up.
* Homer's flashback reveals that he was very good at sports in high school.
* Homer calls Mr. Burns and telling him, while repeatedly winking, that he's quitting his job. He screams when Marge tells him the winks don't translate through the phone.
* At one point, Nelson is forced to catch his own Hail Mary pass. Upon reaching the endzone, while out of breath, he says he needs to quit smoking.
** Then it's revealed that Springfield is absolutely ''trouncing'' [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Arlen, Texas]].
--->'''Hank Hill:''' We drove two thousand miles for ''this''?

* Homer's advice to Apu after the secret about Marge not really being Apu's wife is revealed to his (Apu's) mother.

'''Apu:''' Oh, would you shut up?\\
'''Homer:''' All you'd need is a car bomb and--\\
'''Apu:''' [[{{Catchphrase}} I can't believe you don't shut up!]]
* Moe shows up at the wedding and Lisa offers him a flower necklace, saying it's tradition. As he bends over to wear it, Bart kicks him in the pants, citing "Tradition".
* Homer's last ditch effort to stop the wedding - impersonating Ganesha and running amuck. Blasphemy has never been so hilarious.
--->'''Apu's mother:''' There, Ganesh has been subdued.\\
'''Homer:''' ''(stuck up a tree while Milhouse and another child throw stones at him)'' Allllll willll diiiiieee...

* Homer falling for the "free boat" contest, which the police have instigated to get him to pay off his parking tickets. And then when he pays his tickets, he's ''still'' demanding his motorboat. Lou and Eddie clearly have no idea what to say next.
-->'''Bart:''' Dad, what's going on? Where's our motorboat?\\
'''Homer:''' I didn't like it. The mast had termites.\\
'''Lisa:''' Why would a motorboat have a mast?\\
'''Homer:''' Because... The thing was... Shut up!
* The fine for the parking tickets is also worth a mention - 235 unpaid parking tickets gets you a fine of $175, which means each individual fine is less than 75 cents. This would mean it would be cheaper to park illegally than to pay for it.
* Lisa suspects that angel might be a mutant from the nuclear power plant. Mr. Burns is quick to deny it:
-->'''Mr. Burns:''' D'oh! Fiddle-faddle, everyone knows our mutants have flippers. Oh! I've said too much. Smithers, use the amnesia ray.\\
'''Smithers:''' You mean the revolver, sir?\\
'''Mr. Burns:''' Precisely, be sure to wipe your own memory clear when you've finished.
* When they've dug up the fossil angel, Ned suggests that the whole town should own and cherish it. Naturally, Homer has already tied it to his car and tears out of there while everyone is distracted. He then proceeds to build a small shrine in his garage and charges people to see it.
* Lisa's interview on ''Smartline''.
-->'''Lisa:''' If you believe in angels, then why not unicorns or sea monsters or leprechauns?\\
'''Kent Brockman:''' Oh, that's a bunch of baloney, Lisa! Everyone knows leprechauns are extinct!
* The angel supporters rampaging through town destroying every scientific institution, including a Christian Science building.
** While destroying the museum, Moe tries to destroy a mammoth display, only for one of the tusks to fall off and crush him.
--->'''Moe:''' Oh, I'm paralyzed! [[HypocriticalHumor I just hope medical science can cure me!]]
** Everyone then sets fire to a research laboratory, and a robot comes out of the place in flames.

'''Bart:''' I could take up smoking.\\
'''Homer:''' You damn well better.
* TheReveal: The Angel was actually a publicity stunt by the company that were putting up a building on the archeology site, which turns out to be a huge mall. Everyone is outraged until they find out there's a 5% sale for the Grand Opening, and immediately rushes down to buy stuff.

-->'''Kirk:''' I told that idiot to slice my sandwich! '''(the wire goes through his arm, chopping it clean off)''' ...Ow!
** What really sells it is the reaction - [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction he sounds more like someone's stepped on his foot rather than sliced off his arm]].
* Lionel Hutz congratulating Marge on being so honest at her job -- then giving her a blazer that reads, "Fired"
* We see the security Springfield Prison has to prevent prisoners escaping the exercise yard: Nothing, except an unlocked gate saying "No escaping, please". A pissed-off Snake is outraged enough by Homer's poor treatment of his car he ignores it.

'''Kearney:''' ''(as Snake runs out the gate)'' Hey, you're ruining it for the rest of us!
* Marge's billboard.
-->'''Homer:''' Gee, that billboard makes your butt look big.\\
'''Marge:''' I thought so too, but they said [[SexSells it sells]].\\
'''Bart:''' Works for the Lumber King.\\
''(pan to the billboard next to Marge's, advertising the Lumber King -- which has a motorized butt)''\\
'''Homer:''' ''(monotone)'' Lumber. We need lumber...
* When Hutz announces that Marge has made her first sale, he rings the bell to get everyone's attention only for the bell ringer to break and he just resorts to making dinging noises.

'''THE END'''
* Homer and Bart's "ramming each other with kitchen pots" "game." The best part? It turns out the game's a male Simpson family tradition, judging how most of the Simpson males interact with each other in a background gag.
* Kent Brockman's lines, as few as they are, are gold in this episode:
** "The towel snappings are expected to worsen before they stop." Complete with a picture of a bare ass suffering one.

* Homer causes the Nuclear Power Plant to catch fire by putting a donut in the reactor core. When Mr. Burns scolds him for this, Homer claims it was his "first day" at work.

* The meeting at the UN headquarters goes awkward.

* The end when Homer surfaces the submarine and finds himself surrounded by military vessels from several different factions, including a [[HornyVikings Viking longboat]] and a battleship from Antarctica crewed entirely by penguins. He explains his actions to the American captain by pleading "It's my first day", causing the crew to crack up laughing. He then turns to two of the other vessels and repeats his excuse in Spanish and Chinese, with the same result, before finally turning to the penguins and saying "[[PenguinsAreDucks Quack quack quack]]". They break up into squawks of laughter and all slide off the deck into the water.
* Homer being court-martialed.
-->'''1st Admiral:''' Seaman Simpson, your actions have given the Navy a black eye from which it may never recover. I ''would'' throw the book at you, but I've been indicted in the Tailhook Scandal. ''(puts his hat on)'' Goodbye!'' (leaves)''\\

-->(''the door opens, and the Crazy Cat Lady chases after Lisa, wailing and throwing cats at her'')
