Episode Notes
Chalkboard: None
Couch: The living room is black and while (like in the couch gag for "Bart's Comet"). Homer, dressed as Charlie Chaplin’s The Tramp character, waddles to the couch and twitches his nose. When Tramp Homer sits down, the rest of the family, dressed as silent movie characters, join him.

(Homer realizes the answer and incoherently tries to say "Beer, beer, beer!")
Moe: Wait, wait, wait! Homer's trying to make a guess.
Homer: (Frantically) Brr, brr, brr!

Moe: What are you doing? You're gettin' some kind of booze all over me.
(Homer cries)
Duffman: (Blows air horn) Time's up, the answer is... Beer! Ooh, duff luck!
Carl: I never would have figured that out.

(More at the movie theater. A word scramble game appears on the movie screen with a silhouette and the words MOT HANKS.)

(The answer appears on the movie screen: OTM SHANK)

Homer: (Muttering under his breath) So many previews, so many previews, so many previews--

Bart: Hey, Dad, I'm going to make a human yo-yo. If you object, clearly say, "No."

Milhouse: All those disclaimers make me want to do it more!
