Commuting, unnecessary activities, and the works convince Homer to learn the ways of the disability to get out of having to do any of that. He eats and drinks his way to being 300 pounds and destroy his health.

This episode (initially) contradicts Homer’s attempt to drop pounds from Brush with Greatness (where he actually really did look like he was only 240ish.) and his worries over his weight in other episodes.

You know programmers aren’t always obese people you know that, clerk? Most programmers I know of are pretty slim.

Bacon has more nutrients than gum.

No, liposuction will not improve your health.

Homer there is no way in hell you are close to 240. Given your appearance you’re already around 280. You drink kegs of duff and eat donut boxes (all of them) every. single. DAY.

I never liked physical education in middle school (I had partner’s P.E. in high school which was a zillion times better and wasn’t just fucking running track laps and shit; even the single semester of regular P.E. in high school was way more interesting) our jackass teacher always had us run a fucking mile on the fucking football track in 90+ degree weather every. fucking. day. He gloated about it too that sadistic fat fuck. Too much to ask for an obstacle course to run laps on? That would be fun as hell, but nope nope nope because Texas is football fucking heaven that’s not the fucking case. And if it wasn’t that then it was stupid kickball which I always hated. I mean come on, there are so many different things you could do every day at physical education you don’t need to make it boring as shit. I stopped enjoying exercising and just flat out turned sedentary and gorged as time went from the frustrations I struggled with in P.E. P.E. just encourages sedentary lifestyles and in short: P.E. is P.U. Thank GOD I didn’t have that stupid class in 8th grade but of course there was that stupid fitnessgram shit (your weight is your own business); just goes to show how Texas fucks up in so much except food, games, and heavy metal (Helstar’s from Houston I think). Now why am I saying all this? Well Homer flat out hates doing 5 minutes of calisthenics and that’s something I wouldn’t mind doing. I’d enjoy it if there were obstacle courses that weren’t for kids or dogs to time myself on as mentioned earlier. Then again Homer would hate that too.
