The Simpsons: 10 Hilarious Visual Gags You Probably Missed
4. God Bless You, Springfield Shopper
Episode: The Mook, The Chef, the Wife And Her Homer - S18 E1 Tragically, this brilliant visual gag has nothing to do with the rest of the show, which instead sees Homer become king of the mob, in a well done retelling of the Godfather. The episode also features a great cameo from Metallica (who knew that Hans Moleman had slept with Lars Ulrichs grandmother?!), as well as quite the revelation from Homer, that his favourite gangster movie is Shark Tale. Few interesting factoids from this episode: it was written by Bill Odenkirk, brother of Bob, he of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fame. It was also the first time in 11 whole years we heard a line from early favourite Lunchlady Doris.
