One of the best Halloween episodes where all the advertising statues come to life and start wreaking havoc. Lard Lad, the giant statue of the donut shop mascot comes to life (as do others) when Homer steals his giant donut. Great shot where Lard Lad roars like Godzilla.
And this scene is fantastic:
Homer: [answering door] Hello? Yes? Oh.
[sees that it’s Lard Lad]
Heh heh. If you’re looking for that big donut of yours, um…
Flanders has it. Just smash open his house.
[shut door; the sound of giant footsteps recedes]
He came to life. Good for him!
Smash! Crumble! Tinkle!
[Homer opens the door]
Ned: [running away] Help me, Lord!
Homer: I told you! Flanders has it. Or Moe. Go kill Moe!
Marge: [arriving home in the car] Homer, just give him the donut! Once he has it, that will be the end of all this horror.
Homer: Well…OK. If it’ll end horror.
[Lard Lad proceeds to go on rampage]
Homer: [to Marge] Don’t you ever get tired of being wrong all the time?
Marge: Sometimes.
If it’ll end horror. That’s beautiful.
