The Simpsons: The Fool Monty

After learning that he is suffering from multiple illnesses and has only a few weeks to live, Mr. Burns becomes distraught by the town’s less-than-sensitive reaction to his announcement.

Following an unexpected turn of events, Bart finds Mr. Burns weak and vulnerable in the wilderness and secretly takes him into the Simpsons’ home.
But when Homer and Marge learn about their new houseguest, they decide it’s payback time, and Lisa, determined to stand up for Mr. Burns, learns that old habits die hard.

Episode Notes

There was no Chalkboard Gag for this episode.

Couch Gag:

This episode's couch gag started with the family entering four chambers that slide into the wall.
After a bright flash we see the Simpsons as they would appear in the James Cameron's 2009 movie, Avatar.
They run to a cliff-side and recreate the scene where the character Jake Sully tries to capture his own Ikran, except instead of the flying creatures the skies are filled with flying couches.
Homer jumps from the cliff and fails to catch one. Bart makes an attempt and succeeds.
After the rest of the family climbs aboard the couch it settles in front of a television and the family puts on 3D glasses except for Bart.
Bart sticks Homer's ponytail into a wall outlet, shocking him and then puts on his own 3D glasses.
