LUANN:
     Milhouse, why are you
     sitting in the dark?

160
00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:10,654
You'll ruin your eyes.

00:07:10,656 --> 00:07:11,763
Mom.

162
00:07:11,765 --> 00:07:12,989
The doctor said your nose

163
00:07:12,991 --> 00:07:14,415
can't support thicker glasses.

164
00:07:14,417 --> 00:07:17,769
I'm recording a takedown.
           Get out.

Okay, fine, it's me, Milhouse.

167
00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:25,801
I was the one filming
  every Simpson family video.

168
00:07:25,803 --> 00:07:26,928
Take your shoes off first.

169

All 50 million of you. (laughs)

Yo, camera-monkey, shoes off.

How is what you do a prank?

     this whole crazy ride:

215
00:09:18,875 --> 00:09:20,967
Homer and Maggie.

216
00:09:20,969 --> 00:09:23,044
We are so excited
       to work with Maggie

217
00:09:23,046 --> 00:09:24,396
on this viral campaign for

for the ultimate immersive
       Nom-Nom experience.

Uh, one little hiccup.

222
00:09:35,133 --> 00:09:37,650
Maggie's terrified of Nom-Noms,

223
00:09:37,652 --> 00:09:39,077
especially the girl one.

224
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:41,913
I'm not sure why.
      Uh, Bart will do it.

225
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,898
The yogurt kid? No way. No.

226
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:45,232
Either the Internet baby
         goes in there,

227
00:09:45,234 --> 00:09:47,660
or you forfeit
       all nom-pensation.

228
00:09:47,662 --> 00:09:51,089
So that's, uh, "nom"-negotiable?

229
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:53,592
-(chuckles)
    -That's not a real word.

230
00:09:53,594 --> 00:09:56,319
Maggie, there's
  a cute baby bunny in there,

231
00:09:56,321 --> 00:10:01,266
so put this GoPro
        on your head...

<i> The Lenny and Carl Situation.</i>

249
00:10:46,054 --> 00:10:48,705
Back with us
   is our frequent guest Moe.

250
00:10:48,707 --> 00:10:50,297
You gonna behave today, Moe?

(chuckling):
   Hey, don't cancel me, huh?

252
00:10:53,061 --> 00:10:55,320
Today we're talking about
      the Simpson family,

253
00:10:55,322 --> 00:10:59,382
specifically "Super Dad"
     himself, Homer Simpson.

254
00:10:59,384 --> 00:11:00,550
Guy's a phony.

255
00:11:00,643 --> 00:11:03,495
Full disclosure:
You go back five, six months,

256
00:11:03,497 --> 00:11:05,238
we were best friends
          with the guy

257
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,149
before he got famous
     for those baby videos.

258
00:11:08,151 --> 00:11:10,985
Yeah, so many nights getting
   blackout drunk with Homer.

259
00:11:10,987 --> 00:11:13,897
I don't remember him
   mentioning that baby once.

260
00:11:13,899 --> 00:11:17,008
And I heard Maggie won't make
   any more videos with him.

261
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:21,179
What people been seeing
   is all high-tech trickery.

262
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:23,598
Intern Barney, play the clip.

263
00:11:27,746 --> 00:11:30,021
HOMER: Mmm.

264
00:11:30,023 --> 00:11:32,524
Oh, even fake Maggies
           hate me.

265
00:11:32,526 --> 00:11:34,526
(laughing)

266
00:11:34,528 --> 00:11:35,676
You know, I'm thinking about

267
00:11:36,012 --> 00:11:38,196
going on the all-peanut diet.
     You heard about this?

268
00:11:38,198 --> 00:11:39,698
Supposed to be great
        for the adrenals.

269
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:42,091
You know, the Aztecs,
that's all they ate was peanuts.

270
00:11:42,093 --> 00:11:44,035
Not like the crap we got today.

271
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:46,854
Them ancient nuts,
 they was full of that, uh, uh,

272
00:11:46,856 --> 00:11:48,431
niacinnamonites. Yeah.

273
00:11:48,433 --> 00:11:49,599
'Cause of the sand they had.

274
00:11:49,601 --> 00:11:51,768
And they lived to be a hundred,
        200 years old.

279
00:12:00,946 --> 00:12:03,388
We know there have been
 a lot of rumors going around.

280
00:12:03,390 --> 00:12:05,615
So we wanted
      to formally announce

281
00:12:05,617 --> 00:12:07,892
that we'll be making
     a formal announcement

Nobody has seen or heard
from the Simpsons family since.

288
00:12:24,652 --> 00:12:27,487
Over the next two hours,
 I will break down my theories

289
00:12:27,489 --> 00:12:31,065
on what might have caused
  their dramatic disappearance

<i> Frinkileaks.</i>

Now play
     the suspenseful music.

294

No, that's a latte macchiato.

00:12:45,915 --> 00:12:48,007
(suspenseful music playing)

296
00:12:48,009 --> 00:12:51,585
Well, you might as well
     finish my coffee now.

302
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:16,610
(clears throat)
         I apologize.

303
00:13:16,612 --> 00:13:20,206
Um... in summary, I have
  concluded that the Simpsons

304
00:13:20,208 --> 00:13:23,617
are being held hostage
    by a major tech company.

305
00:13:23,619 --> 00:13:26,362
Now, I cannot
    say which one, but, um,

306
00:13:26,364 --> 00:13:29,599
follow the Google Doodles.

307
00:13:31,460 --> 00:13:35,313
If, uh, you pause
right where the video glitches,

308
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:37,464
you can see Homer
       doesn't look human.

309
00:13:37,466 --> 00:13:41,060
More like an alien wearing
   an ill-fitting human suit.

310
00:13:41,062 --> 00:13:42,303
Let me tell you something,

311
00:13:42,305 --> 00:13:45,064
Homer Simpsons has done more
        for this country

312
00:13:45,066 --> 00:13:49,218
than Dr. Fauci
and Dr. Pimple Popper combined.

313
00:13:49,220 --> 00:13:52,055
It's not his fault
he has a trash son

314
00:13:52,057 --> 00:13:54,165
with a face
    like a lunch bag, okay?

315
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:58,061
Leave Homer Simpsons alone!
       Leave him alone!

316
00:13:58,063 --> 00:14:00,338
(enunciating):
    Welcome back to Patty...

317
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:02,156
(enunciating):
         And Selma's...

318
00:14:02,158 --> 00:14:04,417
BOTH:
         Tingle Palace.

319
00:14:04,419 --> 00:14:07,236
We were going to do part four

320
00:14:07,238 --> 00:14:10,849
of our scalp-delousing
           role-play.

321
00:14:10,851 --> 00:14:12,833
(tines riffling)

322
00:14:12,835 --> 00:14:14,835
But, in light of recent events,

323
00:14:14,837 --> 00:14:18,022
we're going to tell you what
    we think happened to our

324
00:14:18,024 --> 00:14:22,193
sister Marge Simpson.

325
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:25,438
(scales rubbing)

326
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,092
It's pretty obvious
that Homer snapped,

327
00:14:29,094 --> 00:14:30,869
ate the whole family.

328
00:14:30,871 --> 00:14:32,537
and is hiding on a houseboat,

329
00:14:32,539 --> 00:14:35,948
in a cloud of belches
    that used to be his wife

330
00:14:35,950 --> 00:14:37,542
and kids.

331
00:14:37,544 --> 00:14:40,027
(grunts)

332
00:14:40,029 --> 00:14:41,379
(scraping)

333
00:14:41,381 --> 00:14:43,623
-(man shudders)
        -(mouse clicks)

334
00:14:43,625 --> 00:14:46,125
Hmm... hmm.

335
00:14:46,127 --> 00:14:47,534
What's up, guys?
          Today we had

336
00:14:47,536 --> 00:14:50,446
a whole cemetery parkour
      segment ready to go,

337
00:14:50,448 --> 00:14:53,299
but instead we've got
      a big announcement.

338
00:14:53,301 --> 00:14:55,226
The location
    of the Simpsons' mansion

339
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:57,120
has always been super secret,

340
00:14:57,122 --> 00:14:58,471
but we figured out where it is.

341
00:14:58,473 --> 00:15:01,548
We found clues
in all their old videos.

342
00:15:01,550 --> 00:15:03,476
We're talking
       regional birdsongs,

343
00:15:03,478 --> 00:15:06,129
town-specific
    ice cream truck jingle.

344
00:15:06,131 --> 00:15:08,072
But the clincher:
     my mom's dating a guy

345
00:15:08,074 --> 00:15:09,966
who got fired
     from the post office,

346
00:15:09,968 --> 00:15:11,801
and he gave us their address.

347
00:15:11,803 --> 00:15:14,487
We're heading there tonight
     to get some answers.

348
00:15:14,489 --> 00:15:16,230
But first, parkour.

349
00:15:16,232 --> 00:15:17,823
Parkour. (grunts)

350
00:15:17,825 --> 00:15:18,899
Beloved husband!

351
00:15:18,901 --> 00:15:20,660
Angel-baby!

352
00:15:20,662 --> 00:15:22,979
Jewish guy! Parkour!

353
00:15:22,981 --> 00:15:24,255
-(mouse clicks)
          -MAN: Eh...

354
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:25,164
-Huh.
        -(mouse clicks)

355
00:15:25,166 --> 00:15:27,258
Hey, guys, I'm Shauna.

356
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:29,318
With a freaking exclusive.

357
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,487
I found the Simpsons mansion.

358
00:15:31,489 --> 00:15:34,657
What the hell, Jimbo?
 Did you tell her the address?

359
00:15:34,659 --> 00:15:36,601
JIMBO:
Duh. She's my girlfriend. Hey...

360
00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:40,496
(grunting)

361
00:15:40,498 --> 00:15:42,941
MARTIN:

362
00:15:42,943 --> 00:15:44,758
at the Simpsons family compound.

363
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,095
SHAUNA:
       We're about to get
       scooped, dumb-wads.

364
00:15:48,097 --> 00:15:51,950

No, no, no. This is our content.

370
00:16:01,035 --> 00:16:02,335
JIMBO:
          Okay, okay.

       speaking gibberish)

       This way, come on.

374
00:16:08,526 --> 00:16:10,209
(all panting)

375
00:16:10,211 --> 00:16:11,803
Ha! Look at this.

376
00:16:11,805 --> 00:16:14,547
They obviously left in a hurry
      without their phones.

377
00:16:14,549 --> 00:16:17,550
Shut up.
  I can't hear myself Shauna.

378
00:16:18,886 --> 00:16:20,979
-Move out, people, let's go,
       let's go, let's go.
    -Come on, guys, let's go.

379
00:16:20,981 --> 00:16:23,055

             Huh?

381
00:16:25,893 --> 00:16:26,818
-Hmm?
-What is this?

382
00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:28,802
(all grunt curiously)

383
00:16:28,804 --> 00:16:30,229
-(Simpsons gasp)
          -I found 'em!

384
00:16:30,231 --> 00:16:31,547
Somebody get a pic!

385
00:16:31,549 --> 00:16:32,306
Bart, the door!

386
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,534
-MARGE: Grab it!
         -LISA: Get it!

387
00:16:36,997 --> 00:16:38,830
Welcome, Simpson family.

388
00:16:38,832 --> 00:16:42,558
So, nine days
     in a panic room. Why?

389
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,577
Well, Opal,
    our house had been built

390
00:16:44,579 --> 00:16:47,321
by a company we partnered with
      that, at that point,

391
00:16:47,323 --> 00:16:50,491
had only built NFTs of houses.
           (chuckles)

392
00:16:50,493 --> 00:16:53,252
They installed
 the panic room door backwards.

393
00:16:53,254 --> 00:16:55,629
You could get in,
     but you can't get out.

394
00:16:55,631 --> 00:16:58,424
But how did you all
     end up trapped there?

395
00:16:58,426 --> 00:17:01,927
Well, we'd been getting ready
 for our redemption livestream,

396
00:17:01,929 --> 00:17:04,004
and we were all a little tense.

397
00:17:04,006 --> 00:17:06,173
So I went to the panic room,
         where we stored

398
00:17:06,175 --> 00:17:07,841
all of our sponsored crap,

399
00:17:07,843 --> 00:17:10,010
to get some
    children's CBD gummies.

400
00:17:10,012 --> 00:17:12,196
But I was already in there
          pounding 'em.

401
00:17:14,442 --> 00:17:17,777
<i> MARGE: Then I ran in</i>
 <i> and yelled, "Stop fighting.</i>

412
00:17:34,462 --> 00:17:37,538
We were trapped,
 and it was all Homer's fault.

413
00:17:37,540 --> 00:17:40,132
What? You said
     it was nobody's fault.

414
00:17:40,134 --> 00:17:42,042
That's what
I'm supposed to feel,

415
00:17:42,044 --> 00:17:43,710

418
00:17:49,218 --> 00:17:51,143
Luckily, there was
       also a huge supply

of single-use hat-toilets.

Uh, I'm pretty sure
     those were just hats.

Wow. Just, wow.

Well, there you have it.

456
00:19:30,003 --> 00:19:32,336
A confusing, nonsense-word end

457
00:19:32,338 --> 00:19:34,988
to the meteoric rise and fall

458
00:19:34,990 --> 00:19:36,841
and disappearance
       and reappearance

459
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:38,843
and return to status quo

460
00:19:38,845 --> 00:19:40,994
for the family
     the Internet could not

461
00:19:40,996 --> 00:19:43,330
get enough of
    for almost half a year.

462
00:19:43,332 --> 00:19:45,090
Can we go look at your beehives?

463
00:19:45,092 --> 00:19:47,351
Nah, we're all done here.

464
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:50,671
Well, that's four hours
of my life I'll never get back.

465
00:19:50,673 --> 00:19:54,600
WOMAN:
 George R.R. Martin, you better
  be working on that new book.

466
00:19:54,602 --> 00:19:56,027
I am.

467
00:19:56,029 --> 00:19:58,512
You said you would finish
         it years ago.

468
00:19:58,514 --> 00:19:59,530
I'm gonna.

469
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:02,425
They already made two TV shows
            about it.

470
00:20:02,427 --> 00:20:05,594
I know that.
     I went to the parties.

471
00:20:05,596 --> 00:20:08,764
No more parties until
     you finish that book.

472
00:20:08,766 --> 00:20:10,041
I'm writing it right now.

473
00:20:10,043 --> 00:20:12,451
I'm... doing research.

474
00:20:12,453 --> 00:20:14,170
(typing)

475
00:20:15,715 --> 00:20:16,464
Oh.

476
00:20:17,866 --> 00:20:20,218
You did not just stick
  your hands in the mint bowl.

477
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:22,202
Girl, use the spoon,
      or I'm gonna have to

478
00:20:22,204 --> 00:20:24,129
kick your
  Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Booty.

479
00:20:24,131 --> 00:20:25,872
Bitch, that is
       an IHOP reference.

480
00:20:25,874 --> 00:20:27,466
