And about ten minutes later Bart gets to straight up operate a thresher, with no supervision. Homer’s cool with it, and they drive over to the farm that Martin is working on, signing Bart up for the club. Bart yells at him, trying to figure out how Martin is getting to do something this cool, and Martin explains that he’s a member of the 4H club, which is apparently still a thing.īart is instantly sold on the idea of the club, and demands that Homer goes to sign him up. What’s not cool is that the person driving the combine is Martin. And when they’re driving past some farms Bart notices a giant combine harvesting some wheat, and he decides that it’s cool. Homer and Bart get in the car and start driving off to Shelbyville, which is now separated from Springfield by vast stretches of farmland. She has Lisa make banana bread with her and sends Bart off with Homer to go get their bean-bags refilled in Shelbyville. Marge realizes that this is a no-win situation, so she decides to just occupy the kids in different ways. And this just results in them requesting expensive golf gear, which is even worse. So she forces the kids to watch golf instead. Marge refuses though and feels disgusted that the kids are watching a show that’s literally just a giant commercial. And this superliminal marketing really works, because Bart and Lisa beg Marge to buy them the clown cereal. Case in point, the kids are watching some sort of Koren cartoon about clown robots fighting pterodactyls while begging children to buy their breakfast cereals in order to get the power to defeat the pterodactyls. Because I guess Krusty is basically on 24/7.

The episode starts off with Bart and Lisa watching Saturday morning cartoons, which are curated by Krusty. And I think it would look a little something like this. We’ve had elephants, bears, Bolivian tree lizard, and horses, so that means there’s an obvious next step. You know, we haven’t had an episode where a Simpson fostered a relationship between a random animal.
