The Simpsons Se04 Ep20 Whacking Day

“Whacking Day” is the twentieth episode of Season 4. It originally aired on April 29, 1993. The episode was written by John Swartzwelder and directed by Jeff Lynch.

Everyone in Springfield is excited for Whacking Day, but as the holiday approaches, Lisa condemns it as violent. Whacking Day is a decade-long tradition which calls for the townspeople to beat snakes to death with sticks. Lisa decides to save the snakes with the help of Whacking Day’s honorary MC, Barry White, who uses his sonorous bass vocal style to lure the snakes to safety, where no one can whack them.
