Plot

Opening segment

In the opening, using an accelerator-beam, Kang and Kodos hope to speed up a World Series baseball game to air The Simpsons, but end up destroying the universe (first the land, then the woods, then the sea, then the Earth, then many things of the solar system and God with music of everything).

B.I.: Bartificial Intelligence

In a parody of the film A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, Bart ends up in a coma after attempting to jump from the roof to the swimming pool at Spinster Arms Apartments. In an effort to cope with the loss of their boy, the family takes in a robotic boy, named Dan, who quickly proves to be a better son. Later, Bart is found to be alive. He escapes from the hospital and seeks to plot revenge on Dan. However, Bart is dumped on a road by Homer, but Bart finds a group of old robots. He steals their parts and in the end, he cuts both Homer and David in half after becoming a cyborg. Eventually, Homer, who no longer has his legs, now has to be fused with Dan's legs. Then this Segment ends up being a dream of Homer's, and that he's just possessed by the devil, with a brief parody of The Exorcist.

Survival of the Fattest

In a parody of The Most Dangerous Game; Homer, Lenny, Carl, Moe, Comic Book Guy, Principal Skinner, Groundskeeper Willie, The Blue Haired Lawyer, Police Chief Wiggum, Eddie and Lou, Apu, Reverend Lovejoy, Barney, Krusty, Sideshow Mel, Principal Skinner, Professor Frink etc. come to Mr. Burns' mansion to go hunting. Unbeknownst to them, they are the prey to be hunted. The hunt appears on TV, and Marge, watching from home, claims she should have known something was up when seeing the new TV Guide, which featured a picture of Burns and Smithers chasing Homer. Homer manages to survive the night as his friends are killed, but Burns closes in on him. Just as he is about to shot, Burns and Smithers are both knocked out with frying pans by Marge, who then hits Homer for being away from home for eighteen hours and not calling. The segment ends with Marge and Homer making love while FOX Sports Commentators watch.

I've Grown a Costume on Your Face

Titled as a play on the song I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face from My Fair Lady, and with a plot device similar to the classic Twilight Zone episode The Masks, as well as the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Halloween. The citizens of Springfield dress in their Halloween costumes for a costume contest. A wicked witch is declared the winner. But after revealing that she isn't wearing a costume, and is really a witch, she is disqualified and her prize is taken away. In a vengeful fury she turns everyone into their costumed characters. The only person who can reverse the spell is Maggie, who was costumed as a witch, and now really is one. Half the townspeople want to be turned back into their normal selves while the other half wants to stay as they are. Maggie then turns them all, including guest star Dennis Rodman, into pacifiers with their normal heads.
