The Ziff Who Came to Dinner Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Re-Deadening

The Simpsons, along with and Rod and Todd Flanders, go to the Googolplex cinema at the start of the episode. They originally try to see 'The Wild Dingleberries' movie but it is sold out. Eventually the clerk tells them there are only two movies that are not sold out 'The Re-Deadening' and 'Teenage Sex Wager'. Rod and Todd Flanders say that 'Teenage Sex Wager' has been condemned by their church and so they end up seeing 'The Re-Deadening' which it turns out Lenny has a small part in.

The movie is a horror movie that ends up traumatising Bart and Lisa.

Answer: Kang and Kodos

This couch gag is very long and has a long zoom out type sequence starting with the Simpson family on the couch and getting further and further away until we are in space. Here we see the aliens Kang and Kodos trying to sort their broken down space ship. Kand and Kodos are a pair of aliens who appear in a number of episodes of 'The Simpsons' and particularly the 'Treehouse of Horror' branded episodes.

Answer: Jasper Beardly

Jasper Beardly is one of the resident's of the retirement home in Springfield. He is bald with a long white beard which in this scene he has tied in two parts. Ned Flanders has volunteered to take the senior citizens out to celebrate Jasper's birthday but this goes awry when the ice cream parlour go all out to celebrate including a rap by MC Birthday and 'machine gun' style confetti canons which frighten Grandpa Simpson.

Answer: Kojak

We see Homer and Marge in bed finishing up watching an episode of "Kojak." Homer has a lollipop and does a Kojak impression which Marge finds sexy. Before anything can happen, however, Bart and Lisa burst in saying they think there's a ghost in the attic.

When the family go to investigate they find Artie Ziff, Marge's old boyfriend, who says he's been living there after his company went bust.

Answer: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Artie is reading to Lisa from 'The Corrections' by Jonatan Franzen, Lisa says she likes the book as it makes her feel better about her own family. According to Lisa, Homer is "still trying to find that chocolate factory, it consumes him".

Answer: Moe's

Bart says that Artie is depressed after the guy at the ice cream place cut up his credit card. Marge suggests to Homer that he take Artie with him to Moe's, where they end up playing poker. Homer beats Artie's flush with four jacks and ends up winning 98% of Ziffcorp. This means that when the SEC come to arrest Artie, they take Homer instead as he is now the majority shareholder.

Answer: Blue Man Group

When the SEC arrests Homer for the failures of Ziffcorp, it looks as though Artie is going to confess that he is really to blame but instead he points the finger at Homer. As he is being led away Homer tells Moe and the others that if his kids ask where he is they should say he's joined the Blue Man Group. He tells them that they should say he's "the fat one".

Answer: Selma

When Homer is in jail, Artie goes into Moe's. While there, Patty and Selma come in as they've run out of cigarettes while jogging. Selma takes a fancy to Artie and takes him home to her 'Temple of Doom'. After this Artie decides to tell the truth and confess to get Homer out of prison.

Answer: Yes

Homer is originally sentenced to ten years in prison and when the family goes to visit him, he is upset that he'll miss the kids growing up. When he is released after Artie confesses Homer acts as though ten years have passed even though it hasn't been very long. He first thinks Lisa is Maggie, who has learned to talk, and then sees Artie, who he thinks is Bart as a grown man.

Answer: Extinguishes their cigarettes

After he enters prison, a prisoner approaches Artie and says they're going to be roommates. The guy is smoking and Artie gets out a spray bottle, extinguishes the cigarette, saying that "your lungs will thank me one day". He then sees other prisoners smoking and extinguishes their cigarettes and the episode ends with the angry prisoners circling Artie.
