Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

When Mr. Burns falls ill and desperately needs a blood transfusion, Homer discovers Bart has Mr. Burns' rare blood type, and Homer urges his son to donate, promising that they will be handsomely rewarded. However, Mr. Burns knows nothing of this promise, or even of the Simpsons' desire for a reward, and having received the blood, all he does is send the family a card. Enraged, Homer writes an insulting reply, but Marge convinces him at the last minute not to send it. Later the letter goes missing, as Bart has mailed it, still thinking its message is called for.

Homer and Bart's attempts to stop the mail delivery end in failure, and Mr. Burns is furious at the insult and demands that Homer be beaten. Waylon Smithers calls off the beating, however, on the grounds that this action is no way to thank the man who saved Mr. Burns' life. Just as Marge had convinced Homer to refrain from sending the letter, Smithers has a calming influence on Mr. Burns, and the two men decide instead to buy the family a present. The Simpsons receive an antique Xt'Tapalatakettle, an Olmec head (a massive, Tiki-god-like affair) that Bart, the blood donor, likes, and in which Homer hates. Waylon J. Smithers, Jr. ...

Trivia

  • The Xt'Tapalatakettle (also known as the Olmec Head) that the Simpsons receive from Mr. Burns is kept in their basement and is still seen to this day.(It also is included in The Simpsons Hit and Run,as a gag in which the idol exhales flames.)
  • Lisa presents a zebu when she is attempting to teach Maggie about various animals with flash cards, even mentioning their distinctive humps and dewlaps.
  • "Weird Al" Yankovic sampled the part where Bart prank calls Moe's Tavern to speak to Mike Rotch in his song Phony Calls (a parody of TLC's Waterfalls).
  • We know that Homer's blood type is A+ and Bart's is OO-. Which means that Marge's blood type can be A+, A-, B+, B-, O+ or O-.
  • The script originally contained a line where Smithers asks Mr. Burns to leave him enough blood to "get home to (his) wife and kids," contradicting Smithers's homosexuality. The line was apparently cut due to time restraints.

Cultural references

  • Burns' line about getting "A frabulous, grabulous, zip-zoop-zabulous present" is similar to lines used in many Dr. Seuss books. Burns also has Dr. Seuss-inspired lines in "Last Exit to Springfield" and a few other episodes.
  • In an attempt to explain why it's good for Bart to donate his blood, Homer mistells the story of "Androcles and the Lion" (as "Hercules and the Lion").
  • When Homer and Bart go to donate blood at the "blood mobile", operated by Otto, he tells them to wait while he cleans up with a wet napkin from a "Shakespeare Chicken" bucket of fried chicken. This is a reference to KFC, which had been abbreviated from Kentucky Fried Chicken five months before this episode aired. He is also heard humming the Black Sabbath tune "Iron Man".
