Looking for another game? Virtual Springfield

The Simpsons can easily be considered one of the most popular cartoons of this generation. After fourteen years, the show is still on the air and receiving some great reviews. We’ve seen a few video games based on The Simpsons franchise before, and we’re about to see one more. It’s called The Simpsons: Hit & Run and it seems to be refreshingly different. No more goofy skateboarding or racing simulations. This one is all about adventure and mission-based driving, making it somewhat reminiscent of Grand Theft Auto – minus all the violence and drug trafficking, of course.

In order to keep the game authentic, the storyline and dialogs will be written by the creators of the cartoon and the characters will be voiced by actors from the TV show. In Hit & Run, the Simpsons crew will be investigating some mysterious occurrences in their city. People have gone missing, crop circles have appeared, and several hidden cameras have been found all over Springfield. In the midst of all these strange events, everyone’s favorite, Homer Simpson, notices a black van with a satellite dish parked outside of his home. The game will begin with Homer and company heading out to expose Kang and Kodos (those crazy drooling aliens) as the cause of the mysterious happenings.

The title will include two main play modes: mission-based driving and an Adventure Mode. Several characters will be playable in the adventure portion of the title, including Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa, and Apu, but twelve additional characters (such as Cletus, the Comic Book Guy, and Principal Skinner) will be available for the mission-based driving game play. Be ready to face over fifty-six missions, involving both driving and traveling on foot, in seven massive levels set in the city of Springfield. For the first time ever in a console title, we’ll be able to check out the insides of familiar buildings such as the Kwik-E-Mart, the nuclear power plant, Moe’s Tavern, and the Simpsons home.

Hit & Run will also feature a multiplayer mode. Up to four players will be able to challenge each other in several unlockable driving challenges. Expect to see loads of other bonuses, such as forty vehicles that can be unlocked throughout the course of the game. Patient players can also find hidden pick-ups containing episode-specific bonus material.

Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

Lisa brings the family to go to the museum to see a weaving exhibit, but to her shock (and Homer and Bart’s joy), it has been canceled and replaced by a “History of Weapons” exhibit. Faced with a long line, Homer notices Ned Flanders and his kids at the front of the line and cuts in front of them. Others start taking advantage of Ned’s kindness, until they are stuck at the end. At the end of the day, the Flanders are still waiting, and are denied entry, as it’s closing time for the Weapons exhibit. So they decide to check out the evolution exhibit. Ned is horrified to hear that humans evolved from apes and that the creation account in Genesis is characterized as a “myth.” Covering his kids’ eyes, he drags them out.

He meets up with the church council to suggest promotion of Creationism. This sounds good to Reverend Lovejoy as it might help him regain his patrons, most of who have left his church for a nearby church (with vibrating pews). The next day, Ned and Lovejoy blackmail Principal Skinner into introducing Creationism in the school. Lisa is perturbed by this, and at a town meeting asks everyone to make a choice between Creationism and Darwinism, as there is only one truth. The townspeople vote for Creationism, much to her chagrin, and the act of teaching or learning Darwinism and Evolution are now made illegal. So Lisa decides to start holding secret classes for people interested in Evolution. However, just as the first lesson is about to begin, she is arrested by Chief Wiggum “for the teaching of non-Biblical science.”

She is brought to trial, which is dubbed “Lisa Simpson v. God.” Representing her is Clarice Drummond, a despised ACLU lawyer from New York City, while on God’s (i.e., Ned’s) side is Wallace Brady, a beloved overweight southern lawyer. The trial does not go smoothly for Lisa, as Professor Frink (called by Clarice) gives ambiguous answers regarding God’s existence, while a creationist scientist (with a degree in “Truthology” from “Christian Tech”) says that Evolution cannot be real, as there is no proof of a “Missing Link” (depicted in a picture as a savage hominid, holding a rock over his head). At home, Lisa is dejected and Marge decides to help her out. So she starts reading Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species and gets pretty much engrossed in it. When the trial resumes, Marge tells Lisa that she can help her. While Ned is being cross-examined by Clarice, Marge gives Homer a cold beer. Homer, ecstatic at getting a beer, tries to open it unsuccessfully. The more he tries, the more primitive he gets. Finally, Ned loses his cool and calls him “a big monkey-faced gorilla.” Clarice then asks Ned to compare the picture of the “Missing Link” and Homer shaking the beer over his head. Ned concedes defeat and the case is dismissed. Ned walks off sadly, but Lisa explains that she is all right with his beliefs, but considers that science and church should never mix together, a point which Ned agrees upon.

Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

Looking for a way to get easy money, Bart, Milhouse, and Nelson go around town spray-painting people’s addresses on their curbs and making them pay them ten dollars for the unsolicited service. It turns out to be a success after all, but after they already add the “7” and the “4” to the Simpsons’ curb, Homer tells them that he won’t pay, so they leave without finishing. The next day, the letter carrier delivers them someone else’s mail, thinking that their address is 74 Evergreen Terrace. Homer continues to accept the mail. He gets steaks from Omaha, and even accepts a wedding invitation to Scott Weingarten’s cousin’s wedding. One day, Marge gets a letter claiming that she has won a contest from a magazine she doesn’t even subscribe to. Her prize is that a maid will clean the house for a day while she relaxes. Not wanting to look bad, Marge cleans the house until it’s entirely spotless. That is, except for a small stain on the kitchen floor. She combines all of her different cleaners together, but the fumes make her woozy. She falls and hits her head on a stool. When she wakes up in the hospital, it is revealed that she has amnesia and can’t even remember her own family.

After the insurance coverage runs out, the family returns home, with Marge still having amnesia. The home environment quickly jogs her memory of her children, and she also recognizes Ned Flanders when he appears at the window, but Homer is still a stranger to her.

Homer tries to get her to remember him, but to no avail. He then decides to try to make her fall in love with him again, but he only makes her disgusted in him, saying that the greatest thing that’s ever happened to her was forgetting about him. She kicks him out of the house. Patty and Selma excitedly take Marge to a speed dating event, and she meets a man who shares her interests. But when Marge tells him that she has amnesia and three kids, he leaves her. Homer catches up with him and scolds her for leaving him, saying that she is the most beautiful and kind woman he’ll ever meet. Still, he leaves. Marge then tells Homer that even though she may not remember him, he knows the most wonderful things about her. As they drive back home, Homer brings up beer, and she suddenly remembers him. The episode ends with Homer driving (drunk, apparently) into the sunset. During the credits, Homer is asking Marge if she knows any of the people listed.

Cultural references

  • The title is a reference to the movie Regarding Henry, in which Harrison Ford plays a man with amnesia.
  • The scene where Marge and Homer go to a wedding uninvited is similar to various scenes from Wedding Crashers.
  • Homer writes on the sidewalk that the ’74 Oakland A’s are the best team ever. Soon after, several members of the team drive by and thank Homer for remembering them. Sal Bando and Gene Tenace, two members of the actual team, make cameo appearances.
  • Marge’s quote, “Et tu, Zud?” is a reference to “Et tu Brute?” from Julius Caesar by Shakespeare.
  • Marge’s fall against the stool is a reference to Million Dollar Baby.

Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

Homer learns that the nuclear power plant is being shut down and outsourced to India. After Homer is sent to train the new employees, he becomes power hungry in his new position of authority. Meanwhile, Selma and Patty meet their Hollywood heartthrob, Richard Dean Anderson, who plays MacGyver, only to find that he is totally uninterested in MacGyver.

Meanwhile, Homer realizes to his horror that he has come to India (which he previously mistook for Indiana and Illinois, simultaneously). After a brief standoff with a sacred cow, Homer looks for a relative of Apu named Kavi, who should be around here somewhere. After randomly asking people (for three seconds), he (“Finally!“) gets the right man on the second try.

Back in Springfield, Patty and Selma kidnap Richard Dean Anderson from his Stargate SG-1 convention and tie him to a chair. From there, he manages to escape… only to discover that he loves escaping, and starts having Patty and Selma put him through increasingly complex MacGyver-esque kidnapping trials.

In India, Homer is coming to love the concept of outsourcing. With “help” from a book Marge gave him to read on the plane trip, The Cereal is the Prize, Homer is able to spur the natives into a working frenzy. Or so it appears; actually they assume that if they cheer, they will be allowed to go back to work. Homer, Smithers and Mr. Burns get a positive (if inaccurate) impression from this, and Homer is put in total charge of the power plant while Mr. Burns takes time off to have fun floating down the Ganges. Homer, left in charge of a slightly-overgrown nuclear power plant on a river in the middle of nowhere, appraises the Hindu deities and decides he might be a god.

Soon, Mr. Burns and the rest of the Simpson family travel upriver on a PBR boat in an Apocalypse Now manner, and find that Homer is ruling the plant like a god. Horrified, Marge and the kids tell the plant workers that Homer is not a god. They cheerfully explain that they know about that, and are worshiping him instead for the American workplace routines he has installed, like coffee breaks. It is revealed the Homer is treating the workers as good human beings, much to Marge’s relief. Mr. Burns calls this ‘madness’, fires everyone and decides to move the plant back to Springfield. This makes the workers happy due to the various firing clauses Homer has written into their contracts. The episode ends with the Simpsons, Lenny, Carl, Patty, Selma, Richard Dean Anderson and Mr. Smithers joining native dancers in a Hindi musical party in the plant, for which the audio continues into the credits.

Cultural references

  • The title is a nod to the film Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. When this episode was named, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang hadn’t been released to theaters yet. “Mr. Kiss-Kiss, Bang-Bang” was also the name given to James Bond in Japan, as well as being a nickname dubbed by an Italian journalist in 1962. The title was later recorded as a song by Dionne Warwick, intended to be included in the Bond film, Thunderball (1965), but was omitted from the final cut in favor of Tom Jones’ “Thunderball”.
  • Homer pretends a cardboard cutout of Mac Tonight is a thermostat repairman and also leaves it to look after the kids.
  • Burns mentions being served dinner in a “scooped-out monkey’s head”, a reference to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
  • Homer also dresses like the character Mola Ram from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when the Simpsons and Mr. Burns find him in India.
  • Homer refers to Brahma, a Hindu god as “Papa Smurf“, Ganesh as “The Elephant Man” and Shiva as “Johnny Sixarms“.
  • The boat ride at this episode’s climax parodies Apocalypse Now, itself based on Heart of Darkness.
  • The song that plays as the Simpsons sail through India is “The End” by The Doors, which was also used in the film Apocalypse Now. It was previously used in Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder when Homer contemplates suicide.
  • The song that plays at the end of the episode is ‘Pal Bhar Ke Liye’ written by Kalyanji-Anandji and performed by Kishore Kumar and Usha Khanna, two famous Indian playback singers. The track is from the 1970 Bollywood movie Johny Mera Naam starring Dev Anand and Hema Malini. Simpsons creator Matt Groening is said to be a fan of Bollywood movies.[citation needed]
  • The conversation about choosing a door which may contain a tiger references the short story “The Lady or the Tiger“, in which a young man must choose a door, knowing it will either house a beautiful lady who is not the woman he fell in love with, or a man-eating tiger.
  • When Richard Dean Anderson stated “it was just a paycheck,” it is reminiscent of the Saturday Night Live skit where William Shatner told fans at a Star Trek convention to “get a life” and “it was just a TV show.” There also might be some authenticity to Richard’s claim in the show; according to John de Lancie, Richard had wanted to take a break from playing leading men and instead play a character when he starred in Legend.
  • “MacGyver lives! And not just at 2 am on the USA Channel!”: In the late 80s – before they started making original TV movies and shows, USA was known for buying reruns of shows such as MacGyver, Murder She Wrote, and Miami Vice and filling their schedule by running them practically 24 hours a day.

Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

Lenny invites practically everyone in town to a party at his apartment, where he tells them that he is dying to tell them that he has adopted a new faith in the form of a brand new plasma screen TV, and Homer immediately falls in love with its high-definition picture. He begins to spend all his time at Lenny’s house, watching TV. Marge sends over the kids to bring him back, but they too get enthralled by the TV. Eventually, Lenny kicks him out. When he gets back home, he just doesn’t enjoy watching his usual TV anymore. Marge tells him that she entered them into a contest where the prize is a plasma screen TV. Later, they get a call, and they learn that they won third place as opposed to first (“No. No one wins that.”), and the prize is a trip to the Fox Studio Network (no expenses paid). While there, Homer learns of a reality show called “Mother Flippers” (similar to Wife Swap and Trading Spouses), and the grand prize just happens to be enough money to buy a new plasma screen TV. Marge agrees, although with reluctance, and they enter.

When they get back to Springfield, the show begins. Marge is traded to a nice, easy going man named Charles Heathbar and his perfect son, while Homer gets Charles’ very strict wife, Verity. Charles seems to be the classic hen-pecked husband, and is surprised to see that Marge is extremely understanding and nice. Marge enjoys her time with Charles, while he begins to develop a crush on her. Meanwhile, Homer, Bart, and Lisa are having troubles with Verity, who continues to discipline them and object to everything they do. She makes homework out of “Itchy and Scratchy” for Bart and asks Homer for his “synopsis” of CSI: Miami.

Back at Charles’ house, he writes a love song for Marge (with guitar accompaniment), who seems completely oblivious to him until he comes out and tells her that he’s in love with her. She explains to him that she loves Homer, and she tells him that he should tell his wife how he feels. He agrees, and decides to take her back to Homer and then get rid of Verity. When they get back to Springfield, Homer and the kids are ecstatic to see Marge. However, Verity has decided to leave him first, and she has already found a new partner: Patty. Apparently, they both hate Homer equally. Homer threatens to vote No on Proposition 38 (for adoption by same-sex couples), but a little arm-twisting by Patty brings him in line and makes him admit that he doesn’t vote because the booth is up a slope.

In the end, Homer plays on the guitar, serenading his true love, his new plasma TV (and Marge, too).

Cultural references

  • The title is most likely a reference to the television series This Is Your Life. Also derived from this older series, the song The Diary of Horace Wimp by Electric Light Orchestra has a repeated phrase, “Horace Wimp, this is your life”. In the last verse of the song, it is changed to “Horace Wimp, this is your wife“.
  • The character Charles appears to be based on Gervais’ character David Brent from the British version of The Office. He is constantly fidgeting with his tie, says that he is the manager of an office, and like Brent, appears to be a very inept one. Charles also tells an offensive joke to Marge and plays guitar. He is, however, somewhat more likeable than Brent.
  • Homer collects all 40 years of the comic strip The Family Circus, and then throws it in the fire.
  • The shot of Charles standing in front of the fire while singing about Princess Diana echoes the famous and controversial photo of her by John Minihan where she is standing in a school garden with the sun behind her, revealing the outline of her legs through her skirt.
  • After he has told to Marge a story, Charles is said to be a natural born storyteller. He thanks Marge for having been called in that way and for having not been called a natural born killer. This is a reference to the 1994 film Natural Born Killers by Oliver Stone.

Synopsis

Ned Flanders wins a duck racing contest and wins a computer. Then Ned gave the computer to Marge because Ned doesn’t have any use for it. In return, Marge babysits Rod and Tod. With Marge spending so much time at The Flanders’, Homer must look after Bart and Lisa, though he is actually sleeping while Bart and Lisa joust with brooms and break the TV and lamp. Homer takes the kids to an animal retirement home, but the trip goes awry when Toot-Toot the monkey pulls Bart into her cage and holds him hostage when Bart offers her a bit of his ice cream. Marge listens to Rod and Todd’s prayers which include them having a wonderful day along with Miss Simpson not eavesdropping on them but forgiving her. Ned comes back home and sees one of the Flander kids wearing a band-aid and tells them to crawl to their bed. Marge tells him that he should support adventurism and shows him a flier about an activity center with everything covered in foam, Ned agrees after some thought.

She comes back home for dinner and when she asks where Bart is Homer makes a clever ruse involving Marge always worried about Bart and even though he is gone for 2 hours she gets worried which fools Marge. Marge takes Rod and Todd to a children’s activity center to encourage adventurism in them, as she secretly feels Ned is overly worried about his sons when he shows up. Rod attempts to climb a wall and discovers a new activity he enjoys, but he falls and suffers a minor injury after Ned screams up to him that he can get hurt. Although not seriously hurt, Ned is shocked at what happened and tells Marge to stay away. Marge learns of the kidnapping when it is a breaking news report and she must figure out a way to get her son back. The monkey grabs Bart and takes him atop the church, à la King Kong. Since there was nothing to do about it, Reverend Lovejoy hands her a sign which signals he believes that Bart will die while Marge cries after seeing it. Rod, putting his newly acquired climbing skills to use, climbs the scaffolding in an attempt to rescue Bart using Toot Toot’s son as an exchange.

Marge convinces Ned to learn that he must believe in his son and not worry about harm in order for Rod to make it to the top and successfully rescue Bart from the monkey. At that rate, Ned praises Rod to be brave and go up the scaffolding to get the job done. Eventually Rod gets it done, rescuing Bart. While the boys climb down, Bart tells Rod to not hold hands because that would look gay. When Rod asks him what gay means, Bart unwittingly makes up a lie about how it means someone was afraid but that person isn’t afraid any longer. Rod then screams down “I’m gay, Daddy! I’m gay! Mrs. Simpson made me gay!” which makes Ned glare at a embarrassed Marge. The episode ends with Maude Flanders in heaven looking down with pride , and Bob Hope walking off with God.

Cultural references

  • Marge calls herself a “Star Wars” after making a Darth Vader mask out of a paper plate.
  • The title is a reference to the children’s book Heather Has Two Mommies.
  • Homer thinks the title creatures from Gremlins will be at the animal retirement home.
  • Antonio Fargas makes an appearance as Huggy Bear (from Starsky and Hutch), who has mistakenly been caged in the animal retirement home. This is not Huggy Bear’s first appearance on The Simpsons, but it’s his first speaking role. In “Homie the Clown“, Homer presented a Cable Ace Award to “the son of the guy who played Huggy Bear” for the “Most Promising New Series on Cable”.
  • Homer yells “Springfield High football rules!”, paraphrasing a famous line from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
  • The scenes where Rod is struck by fear of heights parody Alfred Hitchcock‘s Vertigo.
  • Toot-Toot carrying Bart up the church steeple parodies King Kong.
  • Ode to Joy was the music played when Rod and Todd got accustomed to the unconstrained see-saw.
  • When Ned is covering his backyard with foam for safety of Rod and Todd, he sings a parody of the song “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses about making the yard safer.
  • As Homer is crunched and mutilated as he goes through a series of gears “Powerhouse” by Raymond Scott plays on the soundtrack. This was a signature tune used by Carl Stalling in many of his Warner Brothers cartoons, and later by Richard Stone. The sequence, visually, is also a tribute to Charlie Chaplin‘s Modern Times.
  • When Toot-Toot retrieves her son Louis, the song played is “Reunited” from Peaches & Herb.
  • In the animal retirement home Seymour (Fry’s Dog) from Futurama can be seen in one of the cages.

Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

After Marge and Lisa see a commercial for a store that sells damaged items from fires for cheap prices, they set off immediately. However, when they’re on the highway, they see that there’s a new toll booth that charges seventy-five cents. Not wanting to pay, Marge takes a backroad. Other drivers see her doing it and follow her. Mayor Quimby is angry that no one is using the toll booth and blocks off the backroad. The next week, Marge is back driving and sees that she now cannot avoid the toll. Also, she can’t back up because of tire spikes on the road. When she finally gets to the booth, she refuses to pay and backs up. The bumper backs into the car behind her, and soon, everyone’s tires run into the spikes. The damaged tires are taken to the Springfield Tire Fire, and the smoke travels to Mount Springfield, causing some snow to melt. On the news, it is revealed that a frozen mailman from 1966 was trapped in the mountain for forty years. The old mail is delivered, including one for Mona Simpson, Homer’s mother. It is from her old lifeguard boyfriend, whose name begins with an M, who writes that if Mona replies to the letter, she has chosen him, and if she doesn’t, she is choosing to stick with Abe. But he also writes that “in his heart he’ll know that the baby she carries is his.”

Homer goes to the library to find his supposed father by looking in “Lifeguards of Springfield in the Twentieth Century.” The only person in there whose name begins with M is Mason Fairbanks (voiced by Michael York). Homer goes to his relatively large house pretending to be a reporter. He tells him that he’s interviewing people who wear sweaters, and he is let inside. Mason shows him around his home, and he even shows him his ship, The Son I Never Knew. Homer eventually tells him that he thinks that he is his father, and Mason is delighted. He takes Homer and the rest of the family (excluding Grampa) on a ride on his ship and tells them the story of a lost emerald treasure. The family is impressed with him, but when they come home, Grampa is angry that Homer would even think that Mason could be his real father. They decide to have a DNA test, and after a suspenseful wait, it is revealed that Homer’s real father is Mason Fairbanks.

While Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie are having an awkward, uneventful visit with Grampa, Mason and Homer are underwater (which is terribly polluted by nuclear waste) in their own individual submarines looking for the lost treasure. Homer gets separated from Mason, and he follows a small light that he thinks is him. It is actually a glowing fish, but it’s too late, because Homer gets stuck in some coral. His oxygen begins to run out, and he starts to see flashbacks including him and Abe. When his last bit of oxygen runs out, the last thing he sees is Mason heading towards him. When he wakes up, he’s in the hospital, and Bart tells him that he’s been in a coma for three days. When they all leave, Grampa comes in the room and tells Homer that he switched the labels on the DNA samples, and that he wanted Homer to be happy. They share an emotional moment, and it is official: Abe is Homer’s real father. The episode ends with Mason teaching Homer not to touch the stove.
