"Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass"
1608 GABF02 SI-1602
Original Airdate: 2/6/05
After Homer inadvertently performs a wild crowd-pleasing dance at a local
carnival, he is hired by several sports figures including Tom Brady, LeBron
James, Yao Ming, Warren Sapp and Michelle Kwan to choreograph their victory
dances. After his dances prove successful, Homer is soon tapped to choreograph
the big show – the Superbowl Half-time Show. Meanwhile, Flanders,
is disgusted by the filth on television, decides to start making Bible
movies; ultra-violent, ultra-gory Bible movies à la Passion of the
Christ. The movies are very disturbing, but nonetheless a hit; until the
violence becomes too gratuitous and the audience turns on him. Homer panics
during planning the show and the night before Superbowl XXXVIII still has
nothing – so he teams up with Flanders and they put on a nonviolent
and deeply meaningful Biblical half-time show which America chastises for
it’s blatant display of decency.
