Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Richard Gere

All of the choices are Buddhist celebrities, but it is Richard Gere who helps Lisa with her conversion. Lisa becoming a Buddhist is one of the few permanent changes to the show, however, she still attends church with her family.

2. What does Homer steal in "Homer vs. Lisa and the Eighth Commandment" that causes him to have a moral dilemma after Lisa tells him he will go to Hell for stealing?

Answer: Cable TV

Homer and the rest of the family love all the new channels they are getting for free. Lisa, however, stops watching when she discovers Homer got an illegal cable hookup. At the end of the episode during the big boxing match, Homer gives in to Lisa and does not watch it, and disconnects the cable after the match is over.

3. When Homer joins the Movementarianism cult (and forces his family to join as well) in "The Joy of Sect", what is the place that no one, except the Leader, is allowed to enter?

Answer: Forbidden Barn

Inside the Forbidden Barn is the Leader's UFO. It turns out that the UFO and the cult are fakes and part of a scam to swindle people out their life savings.

4. In which of the following episodes do Marge, Ned Flanders and Rev. Lovejoy NOT try to prevent a character from converting to a different religion?

Answer: Faith Off

In "Faith Off", Bart becomes a faith healer and does not try to convert to another religion. The trio try to bribe Lisa with candy and a (fake) pony to get her to return to Christianity in "She of Little Faith". After meeting with the cool Father Sean in "The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star", Marge is worried that Homer and Bart will convert to Catholicism, leaving her alone in Protestant heaven.

In "Joy of Sect", the three easily trick Bart and Lisa into leaving the cult with bikes, but Homer requires beer.

5. What item are Lenny and Carl fighting over in Homer's King Solomon dream segment of "Simpsons Bible Stories"?

Answer: A pie

King Homer's decision is to keep the pie for himself and sentence both men to death. Next up in the docket, is Jesus v. Checker Chariot, but we don't get to see that case.

6. Also in "Simpsons Bible Stories", after being condemned to Hell for falling asleep in Church, which is NOT one of Homer's complaints about the Underworld?

Answer: He gets a room next to Patty and Selma

Lisa originally starts ascending into heaven, but winds up in Hell after Homer yanks her down. This episode is non-canonical, so everything is back to normal the following episode.

7. Which band performs at Krusty's bar mitzvah in "Today, I am a Clown"?

Answer: The Beach Boys

Krusty's bar mitzvah is too flashy for his father's liking, so he has a much simpler one at the end of the episode. The ceremony is even broadcast on TV and called "Krusty the Klown's Wet 'n' Wild Bar Mitzvah".

8. One of the segments in "Simpsons Christmas Stories" is that of the birth of Jesus. Baby Bart is Jesus with Homer and Marge being Joseph and Mary, but who plays King Herod?

Answer: Mr. Burns

Principal Skinner, Professor Frink and Dr. Hibbert are the three wise men. Lenny and Carl are shepherds.

Answer: The end of high prices

The angel is a publicity stunt created by the Heavenly Hills Mall. Marge notes that Lisa was no longer a skeptic about the angel once it got closer to the time the world was supposed to end.

Answer: Janet Reno

The marquee is a sly reference to the plot of the episode. Jessica Lovejoy is anything but the sweet Reverend's daughter when she frames Bart for stealing the church collection money.
