The Simpsons Se21 Ep01 Homer the Whopper

“Homer the Whopper” is the season premiere of season 21 and aired on September 27, 2009. The episode was written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (who claim to be “obsessed” fans of the show) and was directed by Lance Kramer.

Comic Book Guy’s comic book hero, Everyman, becomes a big hit in Springfield, and he agrees to a movie version. CBG insists that he chooses who plays the lead role, and gives the part to Homer. However, the movie company hire a personal trainer for Homer, called Lyle, so that he can get fit for the part. When Lyle leaves, Homer puts on weight again, and the movie is a disaster. The company offer CBG the chance to direct a sequel if he pretends he liked the movie, but he criticises it.
