- Quotes
[after Homer drove the van into a tree]
Arnie Pie: He's jumping out of the car, Kent. He's trying to climb over the fence. He's realizing he's too fat. He's digging a hole like a dog! Now he's giving up on that and he's running back and forth. He's climbing into a pipe and he appears to be stuck. His legs are dangling in a comical fashion. Oh, it's the saddest thing I've ever seen!
Kent Brockman: Arnie, how are the *children*?
Arnie Pie: [irritated] I can't see through *metal*, Kent.
Chief Wiggum: [catching Homer in the act] All right, Fatty. Out of the pipe!

It's one of those where the writers just go for "Homer is dumb" jokes, and hope it passes off as endearing.
Here it does not.
A skippable episode if ever there was one.
