"Simpson and Delilah" Trivia Quiz

Answer: On TV

During the commercials of an episode of "Grade School Challenge", the family views an advertisement for Dimoxinil and Homer s delighted by the so-called miracle breakthrough formula being pushed. On the advertisement, the speaker says that with Dimoxinil, he can grow as little or as much hair as he wants. Of course, to get the free brochures, Homer needs to send five dollars to Hair City, Utah and the Dimoxinil Headquarters. Homer heads upstairs and tosses out his ineffective hair growth products and the following day he heads to the Springfield Mall's Hair Clinic to pick up his six months-supply of Dimoxinil (with which he gets a free t-shirt).

When he realizes how much it is though, he is forced to leave it behind.

Answer: Lenny

At work the next day, Homer complains that he'd get much more respect from people and work if he had more hair. After lunch, Lenny states that Homer should just exaggerate on some of the plant's medical insurance forms and get the company to pay the thousand dollars required for the hair product. Returning to the Hair Clinic, Homer says that he wants to go through with the medical forms.

While the doctor is initially against it, he quickly turns on the radio and tells Homer to meet him in a nearby alleyway, alone. Both swap what they have and Homer brings home the Dimoxinil to try that night.

He prays to God and goes to sleep with the solution on his scalp.

Answer: Keep the sideburns trimmed

The next morning, Homer wakes up to find himself sporting a luxurious head of hair. He runs down the street and back in glee and returns to the amazed reaction of his family. They spend the morning rolling in a patch of flowers on the front lawn.
Later in the morning, still wearing his pajamas, Homer drives to the barber shop and gets a haircut. Much to the surprise of Patty and Selma, Homer walks into the house looking extremely handsome with a new hairdo. Both sisters have to stop each other from drooling.

Answer: Junior Executive

At work, Mr. Burns watches his cameras in order to give out his mandatory annual promotion. He claims that no one on the floor has any reason to get promoted, but he points out Homer Simpson who Smithers notes looks more 'dynamic and resourceful' than he used to. Mr. Burns quickly decides to promote Homer because of his look to Junior Executive.

While sorting through radioactive material, Homer is told via PA system that he will be assigned to a better job and that he has three minutes to say goodbye to his friends and colleagues before meeting Mr. Burns in a separate part of the plant.

Answer: A singing telegram

As soon as Homer gets the job, he's placed in an office and told to hire a secretary. Homer is visited by more than enough simply qualified people who want the job, but each applicant is overtly sexual with their prospective boss. When he calls Marge, Homer tells her about the issue and she simply suggests he hire a qualified applicant.

When Karl appears in the office, Marge, over the phone, says that he sounds good and to hire him. After giving an enigmatic first impression, Karl is quickly given the job and the two of them go suit shopping.

When Homer and Marge's anniversary rolls along, Homer forgets entirely, but luckily, thanks to Karl's expertise, a singing telegram is delivered to the house and he is off the hook.

Answer: Give employees more tartar sauce during meals

Homer sits in on a plant board meeting and it turns out that the company has had lower productivity and higher employee accident rates than normal. While some of the board members suggest layoffs (to wake up the idiots) and adding caffeine to the water coolers in the break rooms, Mr. Burns says that he hired Homer to be more in touch with the average worker. Homer goes onto a rant about the fish sticks in the plant cafeteria before mentioning a lack of tartar sauce per serving. Mr. Smithers tries to cut Homer off, but Burns hears him out.

He approves of the idea and Homer's tartar sauce increase results in 15% more productivity and highly decreased accidents on the job. Smithers later deduces that the accidents that Homer would have done on the job accounted for the decrease in the job transfer.

As well, the output is equal to the productivity held when Homer was on his last vacation.

Answer: The Executive Washroom

Mr. Burns ignores Smithers' proof and decides to give Homer 'The Key' which allows entry to the plant's Executive Washroom. When he, Karl, and Smithers enter the lavish room (complete with waterfall, exotic birds, and musicians), Mr. Burns talks to them about a documentary he watched the night before and he asks Homer, over Smithers, to dry his hands, something Smithers doesn't take too kindly to. That night, Smithers goes through Homer's personnel file and discovers that he asked for a thousand dollar insurance claim for Dimoxinil. Homer continues to spend his newfound money on luxuries for the house.

Answer: True

The next day, Smithers tells Mr. Burns that one of the executives, Homer, has cheated the company out of a thousand dollars through insurance. When he goes to Homer's office to fire him, Karl takes the fall and tells Smithers that he bought the Dimoxinil without Homer's consent and committed the fraud.

He pays Smithers with a thousand dollar cheque and says that he will leave the job. Smithers, who thought that he would be getting rid of Homer for good, is surprised by this. When Homer asks why he did it, Karl admits that it was something he was born to do. On the drive home, Homer comes to terms with losing Karl, but he remembers that he still has his hair, and in a sense, his power.

Answer: Bart

Shortly after Homer remembers he still has his hair, Bart enters his room, excited by the idea that he can grow his own beard with Dimoxinil. He splashes a bit on his face as Homer walks in and catches him in the act, scaring him and making him drop the entire bottle. Homer chases Bart around the house into the living room until he catches him and wrings the boy's neck. Bart gets out of it by feigning love for his father and Homer tells him that for the rest of his life, he'll be haunted by his father's failure, his crippling of the family, and the fact that he'll probably be bald in the future because of its hereditary nature. Homer begins to weep and in the next night, he sheds all of his newfound hair.

This doesn't bode well for the speech he needs to make the next day.

Answer: False

Worried and nervous, Homer goes to work the next day for his speech. He finds a note addressed to him from Karl with his speech enclosed and after he finishes reading the letter to himself, he discovers that Karl is right behind him, having returned to say goodbye to some of the girls at the plant.

He gives Homer the advise he needs in order to perform and sends him on his way with a smack on the behind. When he hits the stage, Mr. Burns doesn't even recognize him without hair and the crowd soon thins out despite the important information he gives.

They reason that since he's bald, they shouldn't be told by him how to run the plant. Smithers summons him to Mr. Burns' office. Burns suggests that he should fire Homer on the spot, but he decides to keep him in his old job because he also suffered from male-pattern baldness. That night, Homer is worried about his condition, but Marge reminds him that the family still loves him and that he can provide for them.

She also says that she always loves him no matter if he's bald or not.
