Homer reacts by stating the trope name in a sarcastic voice. He does it again when Apu receives word that Manjula has begun to ovulate.

Apu and Manjula become the parents of octuplets; when the initial media frenzy blows over, their only hope for financial aid is allowing the kids to become a zoo attraction.

to:

Apu and Manjula become the parents of octuplets; octuplets thanks to Manjula ingesting fertility pills (some of which were given to her by Dr. Hibbert and The Simpsons), and when the initial media frenzy blows over, their only hope for financial aid is allowing the kids to become a zoo attraction.


Added DiffLines:

* ADayInTheLimelight: This episode focuses more on Apu and Manjula than it does The Simpsons. Lampshaded with the car ride where we see all the adventures The Simpsons have been on in the nine months that Manjula was pregnant (Marge got a job as Sideshow Marge, Bart learned the true meaning of Columbus Day and winter, and Lisa became popular in school, but blew it all by becoming conceited).
