Synopsis

When Marge unsuccessfully tries to get the kids to clean up the backyard, Homer runs into the house to exclaim to the family that the carnival is in town. After trying all the fun rides (including The Tooth Chipper and The Screamatorium) Bart gets himself into trouble by driving the display of Hitler's limousine and wrecking it into a tree. Trying to repay the loss, Bart and Homer become carnies themselves and work at the carnival. Marjorie Marge Simpson (née Bouvier) is a fictional character featured in the animated television series The Simpsons and is voiced by Julie Kavner. ... Homer Jay Simpson is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons, voiced by Dan Castellaneta. ... Carnival or Carnivale is an annual Christian festival season. ...

Here, they meet up with a carny calling himself Cooder and his son, Spud. They quickly befriend the carny and his son but when Cooder asks for a favor and has Homer run his fixed game, Homer fails to bribe Chief Wiggum, and Cooder's game is shut down. Feeling sad, Homer invites Cooder and his son to stay at the Simpson residence, but Marge does not take this lightly. In the television series, The Simpsons, the Wiggum family consist of Clancy (father and police officer), Sarah (mother), and Ralph (child). ...


To express their gratitude, the Cooders give the Simpsons tickets to a glass-bottom boat ride. When the Simpsons return, they find that something's changed. The keys don't turn, the windows are all boarded up and the Simpsons' name is crossed off the mailbox and replaced by "the Cooders". The Cooders have tricked them out of their own house, forcing the family to take up residence in Bart's treehouse. Life does not proceed well for some time. Treehouse TV is a Canadian preschool television station. ...


But leave it up to Homer to outsmart the Cooders. Knocking on the front door, Homer proposes that if he can throw a hula hoop onto the chimney, they'll get their house back, and if he misses, he'll sign the deed over to the carnies and he and his family would concede. Children playing with hula hoops. ... A chimney is a system for venting hot gases and smoke from a boiler, stove, furnace or fireplace to the outside atmosphere. ...


Cooder agrees and steps onto the lawn to watch Homer's attempt. Homer stretches and warms up as if he was about to throw it, and quickly he and the family scramble into their house, leaving Cooder and Spud dumbfounded in the street. Homer has outwitted someone for possibly the first time in his life and has made his son proud (also a first) and the Simpsons have their house back, although they have to hose the place down.


Tidbits

  • When Spud says "Seen any pigeons yet?", captions say "Seen any suckers yet?"
  • Marge tells Homer he is unable to go on a ride due to his heart condition she refers to heart surgery that he has had. She is making a reference to Homer's Triple Bypass, which he has somehow clearly forgotten. It may be possible Homer is being selective about his memories, although major surgery is difficult for a person to block out.
  • When the Simpsons are on the glass boat ride, a can of Little Lisa Slurry can be seen on at the bottom of the water. The slurry is from The Old Man and the Lisa.
  • At the end of the episode when Homer is trying to get back into his "ass groove" on the couch, the song playing is the 1970 hit "Groove Me" by King Floyd.
  • Beginning with its second airing on May 30th, this episode features an end card with the dedication, "In Loving Memory of Phil Hartman." Hartman was murdered by his wife two days prior. The same dedication can be seen at the end of "Bart the Mother".

Cultural references

  • Art Carney - The episode title is an obvious play on the legendary comic actor's name.
  • Jaws - The white shark attack on Homer and Bart's boat is much in the same vein as the shark attacks in the 1975 thriller.
  • Natural Born Killers - Bart's remark that he and Homer are "natural born carnies ... if only we weren't tied down to the family" is a reference to the 1994 movie starring Woody Harrelson.
  • Bart's shoveling the manure from the world's smallest pony may be a reference to the joke of the two men who found a building full of manure. While one complained about the mess, the optimist exclaimed "With all this manure here there must be a pony nearby!"
  • Volkswagen "Fahrvergnügen" advertisements - Colonel Tex's claim that Hitler's limousine was "the first to come with 'Fahrvergnügen'" is a play on the Volkswagen advertising jingle. Incidentally, the car is a Mercedes-Benz. It could also be a reference to the saying "Volkswagen is the car that Hitler built", as one of Hitler's initiatives was to order a government program to mass produce cars cheap enough for every German to afford, and Volkswagen, or "people's car", was the proposed program.
  • Groove Me- Is played during the credits of this episode.
