"Fatzcarraldo" is the fourteenth episode of the twenty-eighth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons, and the 610th episode of the series overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on February 12, 2017. The title is a spoof of the 1982 film Fitzcarraldo. This episode was dedicated in memory of animator Sooan Kim. Plot After Homer wins a button-counting contest and is allowed to leave work early (a cover for Mr. Burns to hide skeletons in the warehouse), Homer is happy as he heads home but looks horrified when he sees the cars of Marge's sisters in the driveway. Patty and Selma make the family go to the 38th annual DMV awards, which is the DMV's awards show that they will be hosting. Homer leaves the place in rage and leaves his family behind. He tries going to Krusty Burger, but they have taken all the meat off the menu and replaced it with vegan food. Homer drives around town, seeing that all restaurants have done this too. He comes across a rusty old trailer that serves gloriously unhealthy chili dogs and happily chows down. The next day, Homer tells his family about the hot dog stand. Grampa tells him that when Homer was a boy, he used to take him there all the time. When he and Mona argued with each other, they went to a marriage counselor, which was next to the hot dog stand. They left Homer there and the guy who worked there gave him hot dogs, which made Homer start eating away his misery. Back in the present, Patty and Selma have lost all their money in a bet at the DMV award show as well as their jobs by spending $100,000 on a $43 budget, so they are going to live with the Simpsons for a while. Homer returns to the hot dog stand and asks the owner if he remembers him, but the owner says he doesn't. Meanwhile, Springfield Elementary has a radio show, run by the 4th graders and Lisa is included. Everyone else on the show is acting ridiculous and Lisa is the only normal one. Eventually, Homer's attendance at the hot dog stand brings popularity to the stand and costs Krusty Burger business. Lisa does an interview at the detention and the radio station gets shut down by Principal Skinner. Lisa feels bad about it, so
