10 Best Simpsons Moments So Far This Season

3. Homer Realizes That While Big Might Be Beautiful, Obesity Is Deadly

In Walking Big And Tall, Homer finds a support group for... lets say larger men. Originally sent out to find a weight control group by a concerned Marge, he finds a group run by Albert, who is bound to a rascal-like mobility scooter. Soon, Homer is singing the praises of "living large." However, in the climax of the episode, when Albert attempts to get up and walk from his scooter, he immediately keels over dead. Urn after urn of ashes are brought in at his funeral (as well as an overflow bag), and Homer commences to read his eulogy - only to stop in terror when he realizes Albert's age! "Till he was taken from us too soon, at the age of... Twenty-three?! People, for God's sake, join a gym!"
