The Simpsons: Homer Badman
(S06E09) Angry mob outside the Simpson house: Two, four, six, eight, Homer's crime was very great! ... "great" meaning "large" or "immense" we use it in the pejorative sense!
The plot: Homer is accused of sexual harassment when he peels a piece of candy from the babysitter's butt and she mistakes it for a sexual advance. He tries to clear his name, but the media launches a smear campaign and the entire town turns against him.
Okay, now that we got that out of the way we can talk about all the great moments in this episode. The Simpsons always manages to cram a plethora of jokes upon jokes into an episode, but damn, this one had gags that just kept coming at you. I loved the opening scene when Bart curses the "damn FDA" for not allowing cereal made entirely of marshmallows, and Lisa yelling at him for not throwing the grain pieces in the trash. The candy convention that Homer and Marge attend had some great moments, too, such as all the "gummi" candy ("Gummi Jawbreakers?") and their final escape from the convention with the Gummi Venus De Milo where Homer mixes Pop Rocks and Soda into a makeshift grenade. Also, Frink appears in this segment and you can see his pupils through his glasses. I'm not sure if that was the only time that happened.
