Keeping It Kodos

Kang and Kodos have their own sitcom. Their boss is coming to dinner and they are cooking the Simpsons. Homer is a roast (and eating himself), Lisa a soup, Bart is in a frying pan (and in pain) and Maggie and Marge are in pies (Marge says she thinks she's done now). After dinner the boss (based on Larry Tate from Bewitched) says he's going to burst, just as Bart busts out of his stomach (a spoof on Alien) Bart says "Cool, I'm vomit". Kodos and Kang get a hyper-galactic promotion. Bart complains he doesn't have a family now but they adopt him. The Perfect Strangers theme plays while a montage of clips from the show runs. Directed by Slarg Silverman / Written By Glekknor L. Brooks / Kodos' Wardrobe By Botany 5,000,000 / Audience Provided By Slave Colony Of Rebulon 7

We then see TreeHouse Of Horror with one of the aliens stamping it XV. This is a spoof on the Mark VII Limited logo. In the first Treehouse Of Horror the family is abducted by the aliens and Lisa thinks they are fattening up the family to cook them.

The Ned Zone

Homer tries to get a Frisbee off the roof by using a bowling ball, it rolls off and hits Ned, he wakes up in the hospital and luckily they discovered a brain tumor. When he shakes hands with Dr. Hibbert he sees the doctor falling to his death. Hibbert goes to open the window and tries to grab Homer's Frisbee off the ledge, and falls to his death. Ned saves Moleman from a power line but sees him eating by alligators, he drops Moleman in a manhole and sure enough sewer alligators eat him. He then stops in front of the theater that is showing The Rosie O'Donnell Musical and he sees the marquee being covered with a sign "Closed after 3 performances". He says he didn't need powers to predict that. Ned confesses to Homer who then insists on finding out his fate, Ned sees himself shooting Homer in the back three times. Flanders plans to move, Homer starts mocking him for for predicting his death and gives him a gun. When Ned doesn't fire he sees a new future where Homer sets off a nuclear explosion wiping out Springfield. Despite being warned Homer still plans to go to work because they are having ice cream cake for Lenny's birthday. Homer is in a soundproof booth, Ned tells him to not push the core destruct button but the microphone keeps cutting out and Homer hears Push the button! Ned then grabs the guard's gun and shoots Homer through the glass. Homer falls around several times but then hits the core destruction button with his tongue. In Heaven Marge is mad at Homer since he did it to keep from cleaning out the garage, which also goes to heaven. God shows up with Homer's frisbee and tells him to enjoy the buffet but stay away from the three bean salad.

This episode was based on the movie The Dead Zone. 

When Marge complains about Homer destroying the town to avoid cleaning the garage he says "Everything is coming up Homer". This is a spoof from when Milhouse said a similar line in the episode Mom And Pop Art.

The only way to get it dislodged is to go outside. They use one of Burns' ribs to get loose, while Bart does a wee. The ship runs out of fuel so one of them has to stay behind. Homer volunteers. Homer then expands inside of Burns, they end up dancing to the tune of Under My Skin. Various characters, in costume show up on the dance floor.

The couch gag is the family runs in the living room and the couch is gone. As they are looking around it drops down crushing them. This one seemed familiar, like a repeat even though the fan site says it's new, then I remembered the Vend-A-Couch gag from the episode Hurricane Neddy in season 8

Lisa creates a 68 square game of hopscotch but when she bends over to get her rock Sherri and Terri start mocking her "big butt". She starts worrying about being fat. Homer tells her that she has a Simpsons butt. Homer promised to throw Bart a party if he ever got a 100 on a test, when he passes a state capitol test he demands his party, it turns out Mrs. Krabappal forgot to roll up the state map and the entire class got a hundred (in the first grade we had a test on spelling the names of the colors, the teacher left the color chart out and I just copied off that, art imitating life). Lisa goes to a mall store but they are promoting the thin look so she feels worse about herself, and imagines marring a fat Milhouse. For Bart's party they invite Patty, Selma, grandma Bouvier, Grandpa, Ralph and Martin,  Milhouse is under quarantine so he is on speaker phone. Ralph runs around the circle saying Duck until Bart yells at him, he runs away crying. Bart is miserable at his party and when Lisa shows up she runs off crying when Marge offers her a slice of cake. Marge feels unappreciated by the kids, she sees Nelson eating tadpoles from the park fountain so she gives him Lisa's lunch and takes him to the zoo, he doesn't know how to act. She takes him home, his mother is dating Moe. Marge offers to take the kids bowling but they refuse so she takes Nelson instead. Marge pays Nelson to do chores around the house. Nelson's mom shows up to return the money but Marge tells her off. Nelson's mother takes off and leave him behind so Marge lets him spend the night, he takes the bed and makes Bart sleep on the floor. Nelson makes Bart be nicer to Marge. Lisa tries to prove she conquered food by eating one dab of frosting, and ends up scarfing down an entire cake. Nelson tells Lisa he can help her, he tricks Sherri and Terri with a box of cookies that really has a skunk in it and then gets the students to sing about how they stink to the tune of Jingle Bells. To get rid of Nelson Bart tracks down his father, it turns out when he went to the store to buy cigarettes and he ate a candy bar with peanuts, he had an allergic reaction and wound up a freak in the circus. Nelson's mom shows up and got a part as Lady McBeth, after sleeping with the director. Nelson says thanks to Bart but still plans on beating him up the next day. Lisa complains that she didn't learn any lessons this week.
