![]() ![]() Homer has his life flash before his eyes, and it’s basically just a montage of Homer making Abe mad, which is pretty funny. I love that Burns doesn’t care about Homer’s corpse, and simply tells Smithers to “send a ham to his widow.” But that promise of ham is enough to bring Homer back to life, and is then rushed to the hospital. Burns starts screwing with him by alternating yelling and calming him down, all while we see Homer’s heart freaking out in a picture-in-picture screen, finally leading him to have a heart attack when Burns officially fires him. Apparently Burns wanted random donuts filled with poison, but the lawyers shot that down, so he’s taking out his fury by randomly firing Homer. Burns, who is just watching him eat on his monitor. Homer finally gets to work and gets busy eating donuts, much to the fury of Mr. But it turns out that the thumping isn’t his car, it’s his heart, which doesn’t really bother Homer. And while Homer is callously murdering Moleman, he starts to hear a weird thumping sound in the car, and heads to a mechanic. But it’s always great to see Moleman being left in charge of things that he shouldn’t be, and I don’t know why it always makes me laugh seeing Moleman’s various vehicles get rammed off the road and explode. His heart trouble continues as he tries driving to work and gets stuck behind Hans Moleman who is driving a truck with the birthplace of Edgar Allen Poe, which is such a weird joke. ![]() Unfortunately Homer claims there’s a bug in the oatmeal, and just tosses it and eats eggs and bacon. The next morning Homer wakes up and Marge tells him she has a special surprise for him, which he assumes is a whole roasted pig, but is actually oatmeal because Marge is worried about his health. We pan out of the episode to see Homer is watching TV while eating a lot of food in bed, and right off the bat we see Homer start to feel some heart pains, but he ignores it and keeps eating a giant turkey leg like he’s in Disneyland. Suspect is hatless, I repeat, hatless.” So good. ![]() It also features an amazing scene of Wiggum trying to catch Snake from cattle-rustling, and then calling in a ridiculous APB, “suspect is driving a car of some sort, heading in the direction of that place that sells chili. It’s primarily seeing Chief Wiggum and the rest of Springfield’s finest being incompetent, and then a random shot of them fighting a mummy. I never got into COPS, it didn’t seem like a fun show to watch, just crazy hillbillies, but man is this gag funny. The episode starts off with Homer watching an episode of COPs, but set in Springfield. And watching this episode through that lens is pretty intense. I haven’t seen a lot of these older ones in quite a while, and this one in particular I don’t think I’ve seen since high school, because the fear of losing a parent definitely wouldn’t have resonated with me the same way as a kid as it did this viewing since my family has gone through my mom’s fight with breast cancer. ![]()
