Food: Fugu fish
Episode: One fish, two fish, blowfish, bluefish
Season: 2
Walk into any upscale Japanese restaurant, and there's a chance that you might actually see this potentially deadly delicacy on the menu. Just make sure that if you order it, the head chef isn't out back boning Mrs. Krabappel.
Food: Tiny bicycle
Episode: Homie the Clown
Season: 6
This episode poses an interesting question: Would you rather eat a tiny bike or be shot to death by a mob boss? We're with Homer on his decision to down the miniature cycle, but we can only imagine how much Preparation H it takes to recover from passing the stupid thing.
Food: Huge log of gummy worms
Episode: Please Homer Don't Hammer 'Em
Season: 18
Gummy worms taste old even when they're fresh from the factory. Do gummy worms come from a factory? We always kind of hoped they came from a magical farm where the animals are made of sugar and the dirt is made of that delicious stuff they usually put in the middle of ice cream cakes. Even the pigs are made of bubble gum, and candy corn plants grow as far as the eye can see. What were we talking about? Whatever.
Food: Rotten oversized sandwich
Episode: Selma's Choice
Season: 4
It's a general rule for all guys that if you are lucky enough to obtain a humongous sandwich, you damn well better eat the whole thing. Not only would throwing it away be insensitive to people starving all over the world, but it will make you look like a total wuss in front of all of your sandwich-finishing buddies. Homer knows the rule. He even went to the hospital for it. That's what we call commitment to an Italian mixed.
Food: Super sour lemon ball 77X42
Episode: Homer Badman
Season: 6
Stolen candy always tastes the sweetest… Unless you're like Homer and you decided to swipe the sourest candy on the face of the earth. The 77X42 is regularly overshadowed by the trouble-causing gummy De Milo, but the super sour ball is responsible for Homer's scrunched-up face, which is easily the funniest moment in the episode.
Food: Nuts and Gum
Episode: Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy
Season: 5
Just thinking about the combination of these two normally delicious ingredients makes us a little sick, so you can imagine how sick we were when we gave it a shot here at the office. It was fine for a second, but then the nuts started making the gum dissolve into a disgusting, globby, crumby mess. Homer seemed to like it, but no one here could deal with chewing it for more than 30 seconds.
Food: Chocolate dog
Episode: Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk
Season: 3
Most animals are delicious, but having to cook them before eating can be a real pain in the ass. However, if more animals were made of chocolate, things would be a lot easier. You could finish off your meal at the steak house with a thick slab of sweet, delicious schnauzer.
Food: His own giant donut head
Episode: Treehouse of Horror IV
Season: 5
We would sell our souls for just about anything with sprinkles on it, so it's a good thing Ned "The Devil" Flanders hasn't shown his horny head around these parts. Letting TV turn our brains into useless mush is one thing, but we're not about to let anyone turn our heads into any kind of pastry. Except maybe a Danish.
Food: Five-pound bar of spaghetti
Episode: King of the Hill
Season: 9
It's common knowledge that when you concentrate food, you unleash its awesome power. Think about how much easier life would be without pesky forks or expensive bowls. You could blow through seven courses in a matter of a couple of bites. Of course the downside is that you'd finish off every meal with a trip to the hospital. You have insurance, right?
Food: Lenny (twice)
Episodes: Treehouse of Horror III and Simpsons Tall Tales
Seasons: 4 and 12, respectively
Poor Lenny. When people aren't calling him gay because of his totally hetero relationship with Karl, he's getting chomped on by Homer, who, for some reason or another, is a giant. He'll get what he deserves one day, though, when his spin-off, Life With Lenny…and Probably Karl, starts airing. (It never will.)
