NUMBER SEVEN - King-Size Homer (Season 7)

This is probably the most memorable ‘Homer caper’ episode I know, as in an episode that revolves around one of Homer’s hair-brained schemes. Homer’s views on obesity are so woefully distorted (thinking he’ll be somehow more attractive as a ‘go-getter’), that you can’t help but laugh at his naïveté.

His interpretations of the keyboard and computer prompts are also hilarious – I distinctly remember using the sound clip as my Windows startup noise. The episode has a surprisingly upbeat feel to it even when dealing with the social stigmas attached to obesity, and is overall a very fun episode to watch. A great example of using amusing imagery and physical humor to make a very entertaining episode.
