Ep 1. The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson
This prompts Moe to hold a pickled egg drawing to see who will stay sober and be the designated driver. Barney, the most unlikely one, draws the black egg and therefore becomes the designated driver for the night. While his friends enjoy their drunken antics, Barney is twitching uncontrollably and is not even sure if he can tolerate having to be sober period much less around everyone else getting drunk. What toleration there was , quickly got destroyed when the Duff van arrives at Moe's (playing the Yello song 'Oh Yeah' so loud it makes Barney's bowl of nuts shake) and Duffman emerges with a bottomless mug of icy cold beer for Barney and the crowd shouts at him to chug. Barney has an outburst, saying that he can't because he is the designated driver. After quickly stating that Duff supports the designated driver program, Duffman remains at the bar to party with the drunks.
Ignoring the wheel clamp, he tries to drive away but destroys the car's left front fender. Realising that he will never get out of New York in time with the wheel clamp on his car he steals a jackhammer from a road construction crew and uses it to remove the clamp, but damages the car further as well. Homer eventually gets the boot off and races to Central Park and reunites with his family.

Improv comedy mixed with professional wrestling fantasy booking. Peach Machine and Dabbledob book a fantasy promotion using modern wrestlers in a manner that would make Vince Russo vomit with rage. We’re not sure if this is the 14th or 15th episode of season 3, with conflicting entries from Disney+ and Wikipedia, but who cares... Rohan Unrau joins Peach and Dabs to crack wise and watch this delightful classic episode of the Simpsons. Neil Arsenty of @DailySimpsons on Twitter joins Peach and Dabbledob to watch one of the best episodes of season 2, the one with Baby Elephant Walk.
Infuriated and desperate to rescue his car from the East River before the sun goes down, Homer drives out of the World Trade Center with the boot still on his tire. When he realizes that he won't be able to get very far, he distracts a construction worker and uses his jackhammer to pry the boot off his tire, punching holes in the bodywork, shattering the windows and detonating the airbag in the process. However, it then gets stuck on his foot, so he kicks the front of his car until it comes off. At this point, Homer has completely damaged his car, but nonetheless got the boot off the front of the car leaving him relatively satisfied.
Seasons & Episodes
Because, he arrives in the trunk of a limousine, completely hungover with bloodshot eyes, discolored skin and most of his motor skills absent. Homer furiously demands to know what Barney did with his car, but Barney tells him he has no recollection of any events that happened over the last two months (except for "giving a guest lecture at Villanova ... or maybe it was a street corner!"). Homer then rides angrily off on a scooter to pick Bart and Lisa up from school, although not before making clear to Barney that him needing to pick up his kids on time is the only reason why he did not beat Barney up in revenge for losing his car. Homer proceeds to construct a new car out of a mattress, flashlights, and other various parts from the garage . However, Lisa bursts in with a letter from New York City, saying that Homer's car is dumped in the borough of Manhattan and that he must retrieve it in three days or it will be thrown into the East River. Homer is frustrated and refuses to go, claiming New York to be a "hell-hole".
Lisa tells Homer that he can't just judge a place he's never been to before. On his way, he asked a passing pedestrian to take his a picture of him with his camera, only for the man to steal the camera. Later he was giving a police officer a report about what happened, only for the officer to steal his suitcase. Even later, while standing at a cross walk and looking at an electronic billboard , a thug pickpockets his wallet, a pigeon steals his hot dog and trash is dumped on him from an apartment denizen resembling Woody Allen. Though it seemed things could not have gotten worse, it did when he picked a banana peel off of his face and accidentally threw it at a pimp resulting in him being chased through the streets and down an alleyway.
Ian Jones and Steve Williams, writers for British review website Off the Telly, claimed that the episode "ditched all pretence of a plot and went flat out for individual, unconnected sight gags and vignettes". The two noted that it was their least favorite debut episode for a season of The Simpsons. In a separate article in Off the Telly, Jones and Williams write that the episode "... wasn't shown for reasons of taste and has never appeared on terrestrial television in Britain", referring to a BBC Two schedule of the ninth season, which began in October 2001. Screen Rant called it the best episode of the ninth season. IGN named the episode the best of the ninth season, claiming "this is a very funny episode that started season 9 off on a strong note".
When the traveling bus passes some Hasidic Jews, Bart mistakes them for ZZ Top, and when he visits Mad magazine's offices, he sees Alfred E. Neuman, the Spy vs. Spy characters, and cartoonist Dave Berg. The actor in the musical number "You're Checkin' In" was based on Robert Downey Jr., who was battling a cocaine addiction during the time of the episode creation, just as the character in the musical was. The sequence where Homer races alongside the carriage in Central Park was a reference to a similar scene in the film Ben-Hur. During the entire flashback, "The Entertainer", a piece made famous by the film The Sting, is played.
Homer later receives a letter from the New York City government, which informs him that his car has been found parked in the World Trade Center plaza and will be destroyed (by being "thrown into the East River at your expense") if not picked up in 72 hours. Homer reveals to the family that he had once been to New York before when he was 17 years old, and had a horrible experience. Marge and the children persuade Homer to go retrieve the car, and he reluctantly agrees. And I do remember, in one of the frivolous moments of that processing, once thinking that I would never want to see this specific episode again, that it would be too difficult to see even an animated World Trade Center used for comedy. More than a decade later, there’s a catharsis to be had here. I understand why so much is said about the need to never forget, but there’s something to be said for remembering as well, and this episode achieves the latter.
Since the release of the season nine DVD box set, the episode has been highlighted by newspaper reviewers to show excellence of the season. Thanks for indulging me as I dipped into rather more personal reflection than I normally would for a review. The context of this episode made it feel appropriate; that’s actually I think the first time I’ve really written about September 11 in even a small way, and it was good to have a chance to look at that day through this rather unlikely lens.
I remember for a few weeks after this ep aired, no one at my school wanted to drink Mountain Dew. You will be assessed the full fine plus a small large lateness penalty. Please wait by your vehicle for parking officer Steve....
Because really, it’s not that hard being a film cricket. If you enjoy a good brainswashing, then you’ll enjoy PeachMachine manipulating Dabbledob into giving him the host position back. Then they watch an incredible Simpsons episode that hilariously lampoons religion. But most of these background gags really are in the background, without the usual quick establishing shot that might allow more casual viewers to pick up on the gag. In contrast, places like Port Authority, the Statue of Liberty, and the World Trade Center plaza are rendered more or less accurately.
