    Something I never noticed until I was skimming the episode capsule on SNPP is that Homer is never seen using a computer in that episode

    Is it just me or does Gates look oddly like Flanders?

    I don’t remember what the main plot of this episode was, but I loved this Homer subplot. So many quotable moments.

    NED: Flancrest Enterprises is my home business.
    HOMER: You liar! You don’t have a home business, why would you make up a lie like that?
    NED: No, it’s true! Maude and I sell religious book rugs over the Internet!
    HOMER:(smooth) Internet, eh?
    NED: Yes, indeedy! Making some good scratch, too!
    HOMER: (smooth) Scratch, eh?
    NED:Yep!
    HOMER:(smooth) Maude, eh?

    “Compuglobalhypermeganet, Junior Executive Vice President Homer Simpson speaking, how may I help you? (pauses, hands phone to Marge) It’s Patty.”

      On the commentary for this episode, David Coen mentions the odd experience of receiving a flyer in the mail from a computer company, quoting this line (since he was the person who wrote the line in the first place).

    Back in the days when they made fun of people like that unlike with Mark Zuckerburg and Facebook.
