About the episode

Homer spends April Fools' Day pranking Bart until Bart gets even by shaking a can of beer in a paint mixer, and the blast puts Homer in the hospital. A candy-machine mishap at the hospital then leaves him in a coma, and the family's bedside memories play out as clips from earlier episodes. Bart's confession about the beer finally wakes Homer, who starts strangling him.

1:58 Hey, yo.
2:01 Oh, what noble visionary thought up April Fool's Day.
2:06 Like Halloween and Christmas, April Fool's Day traces its origins to pagan ritual.
2:11 God bless those pagans.
2:12 April 1st used to be the pagan New Year.
2:17 Blood for Baal! Blood for Baal! Blood for Baal!
2:23 The Christians changed their calendar and ridiculed those who didn't.

3:29 Beer is the cheese. But how to use it?
3:34 Whew.
3:35 It's a good thing that beer wasn't shaken up anymore.

4:38 Excess of alcohol consumption can cause liver damage and cancer of the rectum.
4:42 Mmm, beer.
4:56 Hey, Bruce!
5:01 That sounded like an explosion at the old Simpson place.
5:04 Forget it. That's two blocks away.
5:06 Looks like there's beer coming out of the chimney.
5:08 I am proceeding on foot.
5:10 Call in a code 8.
5:12 We need pretzels. Repeat, pretzels.
5:25 Mrs. Simpson, I'm afraid your husband is dead

5:44 Homer has many, many horrible problems.
5:47 These shadows are brain lesions resulting from numerous blows to the head.
6:05 Wow.
6:28 And his brainwaves are disturbingly erratic.
6:33 You are wired into the rest of your family.
6:36 You have the ability to shock them, and they have the ability to shock you.
6:41 It's testing.
6:45 Bart, how could you shock your little sister?
6:47 My finger slipped.
6:49 Ah!
6:49 So did mine.
6:51 Ah!
6:52 Bart, Lisa, stop that.
6:55 Whoa!
6:57 No, no, no. Whoa!
6:59 No, wait a minute.
7:00 Wait, wait. Oh, oh, if I can... This is not the way to get healthy!
7:07 Be my place!
7:12 Mrs.
7:14 Simpson, can you think of anything to account for all this?
7:17 I have no idea.
7:18 Unless it was that time he kept falling down the cliff.
7:22 I won't jump anymore. I promise. Oh, thank God.
7:27 Thank God. I love you, Dad.
7:29 I love you too, son.
7:31 You know, boy, I don't think I've ever felt as close to you as I do right...
7:36 Huh?
7:44 I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna make it! This is the greatest thrill of my life!
7:49 I'm king of the world! Woo-hoo!
7:51 Woo-hoo!
7:52 I...
7:54 OOH!
8:34 Hmm, that still wouldn't explain what I'm seeing here.
8:37 You look familiar. Have we met before?
8:46 Clear!
8:50 Doctor, he's gone.
8:52 This is the part of the job I hate.
8:58 You're a veterinarian? That's right. And for an extra $20,
9:02 I'll give Homer a tick bath and then spay him.
9:05 Here you go, Doc.
9:06 Bart!
9:07 Shop around. You can't beat that price.
9:09 You guys must have been pretty worried about me.
9:12 Hey, we know you're tough, Dad. Remember that time you got lost in the forest?
9:19 This is a trap.
9:21 It's gonna catch us our dinner. Come on, boy.
9:24 Shh! Just watch.
9:28 Ooh!
9:31 Aha!
9:32 Got him!
9:39 Okay, okay. This time, I'll just go into the bushes over there,
9:43 make a lot of noise and flush out a rabbit.
9:46 And when he comes out, you step on him.
9:49 Right, Dad.
9:53 Get him off me! Get him off me! Get him off me!
10:03 It's true, you have good coping skills.
10:17 The burgers are getting cold, gut. Holy moly.
10:47 And there's one itchy and scratchy cartoon I don't think we'll ever forget.
11:04 Why'd you bring that up? It was an amusing episode of our lives.
11:09 Thanks for coming to visit me, Moe. I brought you a little present.
11:13 No, no, beer bring pain.
11:16 I can't stand to see him like this.
11:38 He really needs a girlfriend.
11:41 Oh, Marge, what if I wind up as some vegetable, watching TV on the couch?
11:47 My important work will never be completed.
11:50 Society's lost, I suppose.
11:52 But our marriage has been through hard times, and we always pull through.
12:21 Uh-huh?
12:22 Huh?
12:23 Marge! What a lovely surprise!
12:26 You're here to see me, right?
12:27 Of course!
12:38 Hey, way to go, Hummer! Way to go!
12:42 Hey, what'll I tell the boss?
12:44 Tell him I'm going to the back seat of my car with a woman I love.
12:49 And I won't be back for ten minutes!
12:52 Yeah!
13:01 You can do it, Homer. Stand up.
13:02 I can't.
13:04 He just won't budge. I've tried everything.
13:07 Nothing can reach him.
13:16 Chocolate.
13:47 Mmm.
13:55 Wow, chocolate.
13:57 Half price. COPYRIES!
14:16 Ah!

14:31 Nuts.
14:36 Oh, yeah.
14:41 Poor Homer.
14:43 This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
14:49 Ah!

14:51 Kill it! Grandpa, please. He's in a coma.
14:54 Coma?
14:55 Why I go in and out of comas all the...

15:03 Is the coma painful?
15:04 Oh, heck no.
15:06 You relive long lost summers.

16:14 Hi everybody!
16:16 Hi Dr. Nick!
16:19 Oh dear, I see no signs of life.
16:23 Just to be safe, we better pull the plug.
16:26 Mr.
16:27 Burns, how can you be so cold-hearted?
16:30 You have no idea, woman, what that man's put me through.
16:35 Mr. Burns, I need to borrow some money.
16:38 Please do go on.
16:40 I know you're a good man, and I have a dog that's very sick.
16:45 Oh, please, continue.
16:47 I thought maybe you... Oh.
16:51 Well, thanks for your time.
16:55 I have an unorthodox solution.
16:57 A fantastic voyage, if you will.
17:01 Three scientists, one a beautiful woman, will be shrunk to microscopic size.
17:06 They will then rendezvous in Mr. Simpson's lower colon.
17:10 Ew.
17:12 Well, we have had a little trouble finding volunteers.
17:15 I wish I'd gotten to know you better, Dad.
17:20 But there were times when we really connected.
17:25 Hi, Dad.
17:26 Want me to cut out this infernal racket?
17:28 Oh, let me hear you play. Why?
17:30 Does your father have to explain?
17:32 Let's just share your gift, okay?
17:48 Yeah, that's more like it.
17:51 Oh,
17:51 I want to be in that rumba.
17:58 And a change go over there.
18:02 Oh, over there!
18:06 I wrote this for you, Dad.
18:25 Dad, I'm so sorry.
18:28 I know I haven't been a perfect kid.
18:51 Why, you little...
19:05 Don't!
19:19 He's not in the way! He's in the way!
19:30 I know that I got you mad once in a while.
19:47 And sometimes I got into trouble.
19:57 Bart, you can't go on like this. I know.
20:02 But you always looked out for me.
20:05 Homer, it's really coming down.
20:08 Could you check on the boys?
20:13 They're fine.
20:14 And no matter what happens, I'll never forget the advice you gave me.
20:19 Now come on, you're gonna learn how to shave.
20:22 And finally, the little spot under your nose.
20:26 Next, we take some toilet paper,
20:30 tear off some teensy little squares, and stick one there,
20:34 and there, and any place you're bleeding.
20:38 There, and there. Don't worry, the blood will hold it right on your face.
20:41 And now, some aftershave. aftershave.

20:48 Oh, yes!
20:49 You son of a... Oh!
20:50 Eee! And that's how we shave.
20:53 Dad, it's all my fault. I shook up that can of beer.
20:58 It was just an April Fool's joke.
21:08 Ah!
21:13 Are you little?
21:16 Holy, you're all right. We're a family again.
21:26 This calls for a celebration.
21:29 We're all going to Hawaii.
21:33 Gotcha.
21:34 It's April Fool's for two more minutes.
21:36 Dad, it's May 16th. You were in that coma for seven weeks.
