"No trap can hold Homer Simpson—uh, but I'm not Homer Simpson! I'm the Pie Man! Homer Simpson, away! I mean, the Pie Man!" - Homer Simpson (The Pie Man)

When Lisa is publicly humiliated, Homer transforms his love of pastries and violence into a new alter ego: Pie Man. But when Burns discovers this hero's secret identity, Homer becomes a tool for evil and a potential Dalai Lama assaulter. Come for the slight nod to Raimi's Spider-Man, stay for as many '60s Batman references a post 9/11 audience can stomach.

"Kids, you tried your best, and you failed miserably. The lesson is: never try." - Homer Simpson

When a brush with the reaper inspires Mr. Burns to seek out an heir, he quickly finds one in the form of Bart Simpson. But as Bart grows more estranged from his family, we find the true test of a son's love comes down to whether or not he'll execute his own father for a Blockbuster Video gift certificate.

"We have to grab this chance for romance now, or we'll never be alone. Not till Lisa's in college and we've lost contact with Bart." - Homer Simpson

When Bart and Lisa don't show proper reverence for the 1970 film Love Story, Homer and Marge decide to take a Flanders-funded sex trip to Miami. But when the kids find out they've been deceived, they pursue their parents in a city-hopping adventure that culminates in a perfectly serviceable Catch Me if You Can parody.
