"King-Size Homer"
In the episode, Homer despises the nuclear plant's new exercise program, and decides to gain 61 pounds (28 kg) in order to claim a disability and work at home. Homer soon begins to experience the negative aspects of being obese, and his life starts falling apart.

The episode was written by Dan Greaney and directed by Jim Reardon. Joan Kenley makes her first out of three guest appearances on The Simpsons in the episode as the voice of the telephone lady. It features cultural references to world's heaviest twins, the 1993 film What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and the soft drink Tab

Homer: Oh, I've got 15 minutes to gain a pound or I have to face another
day at work!

Bart: Bad news, Dad. We're out of food. We're even out of the basic
elements of food. You ate all the tarragon and you drank all the
soy sauce.

Homer: I need a miracle. [Maggie squeezes off some Play-Doh and shapes
it into a donut, handing it to Homer.]
Homer: Aw, honey, that looks just like a real donut.

Bart: [goading] Dad...its says its non-toxic.

Homer: [eating it] Well, that's a plus.
[Eats it and weighs himself again. Just over 300 lbs.]
Woo woohoohahoo!, I did it!

Bart: Uh, Dad, towel rack.
[Homer removes his blubber from it. Scale reads 315.]

Homer: [gurgles with delight] oh my.
-- With room to spare, "King-Size Homer"

    When Bart tells homer its non toxic and he's already half way eating it LOL
  • @sakurashy8492
    This was my favorite scene from the show. Maggie looked so sweet giving Homer that play dough doughnut.
  • @Smilephile
    As a kid I missed the joke where homer is already eating the play doh before bart says it's non toxic
  • @WarwickkkT101
    How could he see the scales when he tummy was on the rack
  • @JewishKeto
    That was so sweet of Maggie wanting to help her father gain that final pound. :)
  • @hornek
    i just noticed how sweet of Homer to tell Maggie it looks like a real donut. that's one thing they fucked up in later seasons, that Homer was a loving father in his own way.
  • @Majinhero
    i like how he said "well that's a plus" while already eating it, like getting poisoned is no big deal.
  • @grimmjon00
    I like how the scale only goes to 300 when homer swallows the donut. As if just holding the donut in your hand wouldn't count lol
  • Awww! Maggie was so sweet to make a donut out of play-doh for her daddy. 🥰 And Homer was already halfway through eating it when Bart mentioned it was non-toxic. 🤣
  • @KrimsonKracker
    Remembering when people used to think 300 pounds was "morbidly obese"... 🤣🤣🤣
  • @loneshewolf74
    I guess Homer hasn't seen all those commercials where they make Play-Doh look like food and they always say "fun to play with, not to eat".

    "We're even out of the basic elements of food" 😂
