* {{Deconstruction}}: Both Homer's BigEater habits and his lazy work ethic are deconstructed here. Because of his many years of eating unhealthily and not exercising, Homer has a heart attack and ''needs'' a bypass operation as soon as possible, or else he will die. Him slacking off at work puts him at risk of being fired from his job, making it nigh impossible to be able to afford the operation he needs to live, in addition to the stress of all this putting him in danger of having ''even more'' heart attacks.
